Chapter 105 - Capture

Having ascended to the second floor once more and entered the dining hall, Ye Fan swept his gaze across Areas A and B like an eagle, but did not spot the drug trafficking gang from earlier.

This was expected; they must certainly be in a private room.

“They’re not in the hall,” Ye Fan said to Zhao Lina, “They must be in a private room.”

“Mm,” Zhao Lina nodded, “Let’s ask the servers, there are private rooms on both the second and third floors.”

Thus, Ye Fan and Zhao Lina approached the service counter on the second floor to inquire, “Hello, did you see a group of five men come up just now?

Which private room did they enter?

I’m their friend.”

“There were too many people, I didn’t notice,” a counter server replied, “You should ask them, they’re responsible for guiding guests to the private rooms and taking orders.”

The counter server gestured towards a table ahead where six or seven female servers were either standing or sitting, with many order books strewn across the table.

“Thank you.” Ye Fan and Zhao Lina nodded and turned to walk towards the table of female servers.

Upon questioning, one of the servers pointed in a direction, “They went to that private room, the West Lake room.”

Ye Fan and Zhao Lina were pleased, thanked the female server, and then followed the direction indicated.

Before long, they found the West Lake private room.

“Wait here, we’ll just stand outside the door and wait for my colleagues to arrive,” Zhao Lina whispered.

Ye Fan shook his head, “What if one of them comes out to use the toilet and spots us as suspicious and escapes?

Don’t forget, we’ve faced them.

Your appearance and mine are distinctive; they would definitely recognize us.”

Zhao Lina was not only beautiful, but also had a heroic spirit between her brows.

It was not just that men who had seen her would not easily forget; even women would not forget her in a short time.

As for himself, tall and with a rugged face, his spine was always as straight as a pole, and his steps were steady and powerful, likewise catching attention.

“If they escape, do we chase them or not?

If we do, this place is crowded, and it could easily lead to innocents getting hurt.

Remember, they’re desperados—three of them have blood on their hands, and they’re not playing around.

If we don’t chase, are we just going to watch them get away?” Ye Fan said.

“This…” Zhao Lina hesitated, as she preferred to act with the group.

Ye Fan continued to persuade her, “With our skills, in the confined space of the private room, we could easily capture them if we’re just careful.”

“Heh, I’m handing you a great merit for free.”

Zhao Lina, a decisive person herself, nodded in agreement.

“You stand aside, I’ll knock on the door.

After we start, I’ll take the lead in the capture, and you’ll stand by the door to prevent anyone from escaping,” Ye Fan said.

Zhao Lina knew Ye Fan’s skills were much stronger than hers, so she agreed with the arrangement.

“Knock, knock,” Ye Fan stood at the door, knocking lightly.

“Who is it?!” A voice came from inside the room, followed by footsteps, and then the door cracked open slightly.

As the gap opened, revealing half of a gaunt, dark face, the man’s expression changed drastically upon seeing Ye Fan and he hurriedly tried to shut the door.

However, Ye Fan instantly kicked the door with force.

Bang!

The deafening sound of the door being kicked open echoed as the door flew open and the forehead of the gaunt, dark face was smashed by the door, sending him screaming and tumbling back into the room amidst a clatter of shattered porcelain and utensils.

Ye Fan rushed in without saying a word and immediately pounced on the man who was drawing a gun and reeked of blood.

Besides the man with the gaunt face who was struck down under the table, the other four men were all taken aback.

Nonetheless, they were not completely unprepared.

In fact, they were already on guard when the man with the gaunt face went to open the door, fearing a midnight visitor might be a ghost.

The man drawing his gun hadn’t even aimed when Ye Fan pounced on him as fast as lightning.

With a Green Dragon’s Claw, Ye Fan had already grabbed the gunman’s hand and immediately twisted it with force.

“Ahh—” The man screamed in agony as his wrist dislocated and the handgun dropped to the ground.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and without thinking, Ye Fan dodged to the left.

“Bang!”

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet shot past the position where Ye Fan was just a split second earlier, embedding itself in the wall.

As the shooting man attempted to fire again, Ye Fan closed in with ghostly speed, his hand-chop severing the gunman’s right arm holding the weapon.

“Ahh!” The shooter let out an ear-piercing scream.

Ye Fan snorted softly and threw a punch at the gunman’s stomach.

The man’s screams abruptly ceased as he doubled over and flew back, brutally striking the wall and falling to the ground with a mouthful of blood, unable to rise again.

From the moment Ye Fan burst into the private room to the launching of the gunman, the whole sequence occurred in the blink of an eye, in less than a second and a half.

At that time, Zhao Lina charged in as well, immediately lunging at the man closest to the door, who held a gleaming dagger in his hand.

After propelling the gunman away, Ye Fan didn’t pause, sending a palm strike toward the edge of the dining table.

The table violently crashed into the last man attempting to flee on the opposite side.

Ahh—

The man, holding a dagger, was utterly helpless as he collided with the side of the table and fell to the ground, struggling unconsciously, unable to get up again.

The man whose wrist Ye Fan had dislocated disregarded the intense pain, lifted his right hand, and started fleeing on foot.

However, after he had only taken two steps, Ye Fan caught up with him in one stride, grabbed the back of his collar from behind, and hurled him forcefully toward the ground.

Thump!

The man’s back smashed against the hard floor with such force that his organs shifted inside him, rendering him voiceless.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lina had also taken down the man she was fighting.

With the fight over, Ye Fan turned to Zhao Lina with a smile, and she looked back at him, their gaze meeting.

Ha ha ha…

Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, finding the battle exhilarating.

A smile also appeared on Lina’s pretty face.

After the laughter subsided, Ye Fan said, “Let’s tie them up first and wait for your colleagues to arrive.”

“Okay, I’ll go find some rope,” Lina nodded.

“No need,” Ye Fan called out, “Where can you find that much rope in the hotel on short notice?”

As he said this, he reached out and lifted the pale yellow tablecloth, then gave it a strong rip.

Under Lina’s astonished gaze, a tearing sound filled the air, and Ye Fan quickly ripped the tablecloth into five strips, then threw two to her.

Taking the two fabric strips, Lina tugged on them with both hands and immediately felt the material was of very good quality, quite sturdy, and could tie up even a bull.

The fact that Ye Fan could rip it so easily, without any cut from a knife or scissors to start the tear, left her in awe.

“How incredibly strong he must be!” she mused as she tied up the writhing, groaning members of the drug gang lying on the floor.
