Chapter 59 - Encounter

“Mr.Ye, have you found anything?” Fang Nanxiang got to the point, looking at Ye Chenfeng with a questioning tone.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t plan to tell Fang Nanxiang about this matter, as the terrorist plot was far-reaching, and knowing about it might actually harm him.

With an indifferent expression on his face, Ye Chenfeng said, “Brother Fang, there’s nothing to report.

How about we head back now?” Ye Chenfeng was prepared to return to the Zhao residence and then come out to act alone.

However, Fang Nanxiang was not a man who was short of a brain cell; his face was serious, and his eyes were filled with intelligence as he said, “Mr.

Ye, don’t you trust me?

Or is it that you…”

Ye Chenfeng replied with a wry smile, “Brother Fang, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but you’re better off not knowing about this.

If you get involved, it could bring unimaginable trouble to you and the Zhao family.”

“Mr.

Ye, I am thinking of resigning once Chairman Zhao is well,” Fang Nanxiang shared.

“I’ve stayed by his side all these years out of gratitude, but this isn’t the life I want to lead.

Over the past few years, I’ve secretly trained six bodyguards who are now capable of sufficiently protecting Chairman Zhao and his family.” Fang Nanxiang said, revealing a decision made after much contemplation, spurred by the events of recent days which awoke an invigorating passion within him.

Ye Chenfeng was genuinely intrigued by Fang Nanxiang, recognizing his skill.

In the near future, Ye Chenfeng was certain to establish his own power, and he would need many trustworthy people.

Fang Nanxiang’s character had already been confirmed by Ye Chenfeng.

“Brother Fang, do you have any plans for what you’ll do next?” Ye Chenfeng inquired.

“I don’t have any plans for the moment; I just don’t want to continue living this comfortable life,” Fang Nanxiang responded.

“Brother Fang, if I asked you to follow me from now on, would you be willing?” Ye Chenfeng asked.

In fact, Fang Nanxiang had already entertained this thought, but was uncertain of how to approach the subject or whether Ye Chenfeng would even agree if he did.

“Mr.

Ye, are you asking me to follow you?

I would be more than willing,” Fang Nanxiang readily agreed.

“Brother Fang, now that you’ve made this decision, it wouldn’t hurt to let you in on tonight’s matter,” Ye Chenfeng stated gravely.

After both men got into the car, Ye Chenfeng briefed Fang Nanxiang in detail about what he knew.

Fang Nanxiang was filled with indignation; after all, he had once been a member of the national special forces, having had years of training that imbued him with a strong sense of national defense, making his emotions more volatile than Ye Chenfeng’s.

“Mr.

Ye, we absolutely cannot let this happen!

Should we notify the relevant national authorities first?” Fang Nanxiang suggested.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, “Brother Fang, it’s not yet time to inform the authorities.

After all, we have not witnessed this matter firsthand to confirm if it’s true.

So, we must investigate further first.”

“Alright, I’ll follow your lead, Mr.

Ye.” Fang Nanxiang said, driving the car towards the direction indicated by the address.

After driving on the highway for over two hours, they gradually left the city area behind, arriving at a desolate place where even the ground became uneven and full of potholes, and it was pitch-black all around, save for the car’s headlights—there wasn’t a building in sight.

“Mr.

Ye, could this address you’ve received be fake?” Fang Nanxiang wondered aloud.

Ye Chenfeng believed that if it were a fake address, it wouldn’t have been left in a safe, nor would the perpetrators announce their real terrorism plans openly.

“Brother Fang, let’s get out and have a look,” Ye Chenfeng suggested as he got out of the car first, with Fang Nanxiang turning off the engine and quickly following behind him.

Weeds overran the surrounding area, and with it being nighttime, visibility was extremely low.

Ye Chenfeng heightened his Soul Force to level three, ready to sense any changes around them.

Suddenly, a killing intent struck at Ye Chenfeng, who, relying on his instincts, dodged the attack from the person in the dark and, as the attacker’s tracks were exposed, Ye Chenfeng launched a deadly offensive, as there was no room for holding back under such circumstances.

After merely three exchanges, Ye Chenfeng and the figure in the dark both let out a soft “Eh?” as they simultaneously felt a sense of familiarity with each other.

“Who are you?” the person in the dark asked.

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Chenfeng racked his brain to remember and, after a moment, tentatively asked, “Are you Wang Li?”

“How do you know my name?

Who on earth are you?” the voice from the dark suddenly rose in volume. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“I’m Ye Chenfeng.

Don’t you recognize me?

Or should we spar again to refresh your memory?” Knowing the other person was Wang Li, Ye Chenfeng’s nerves slightly relaxed.

“Ye Chenfeng?

Is it really you?

How did you come to be here?” The dim light shone on Ye Chenfeng’s face, allowing a better view of his features.

“Chenfeng, is that you?” Another person asked as they emerged from the underbrush.

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Chenfeng immediately recognized who it was and said with a smile, “Uncle Wu, who would’ve thought we’d meet here?”

The man who had spoken in the dark was none other than Wu Kunming.

At this point, Ye Chenfeng began to guess the situation—Huaxia Country must have been aware of a terror plot, otherwise, why would they send people like Wu Kunming and Wang Li here?

However, the state was likely still unaware that the enemy planned to spread a virus, or they would have sent the military to eliminate the threat already.

“Chenfeng, why did you leave without saying a word that day?” Wu Kunming walked over and patted Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder.

“Uncle Wu, if I had stayed, would I have been able to leave?” Ye Chenfeng retorted.

Wang Li, who was standing to the side, coughed loudly twice and said, “Now is not the time for chatting.

Don’t forget the mission we are here for.” Wang Li’s tone conveyed his dissatisfaction with Wu Kunming.

“Chenfeng, if you’re alright, leave immediately.

We still have serious business to attend to here!” Wu Kunming said.

“Uncle Wu, by sending me away, there would be no one to inform you about the detailed plans of their terror operation.

Are you really going to let me go?” Ye Chenfeng asked with a slight smile.

“What?

Chenfeng, how would you know about this?

This is a top-secret national mission,” Wu Kunming exclaimed with surprise.

“Just have a look at these documents,” Ye Chenfeng said as he handed over the files for Wu Kunming and Wang Li to review.

After reviewing the entire document, Wu Kunming and Wang Li’s expressions changed dramatically.

The situation was beyond their imagination; they had only received word that someone was planning a terror operation in Huaxia Country, but they hadn’t expected the operation to involve virus dissemination, which could cause a major crisis if it escalated.

Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng had appeared just in time that evening.

If the enemy intended to spread a virus, there must be a laboratory or storage room in the area, surely equipped with heavy firepower or mechanical traps.

Wu Kunming and Wang Li had only brought twenty men with them.

They had planned to scout the area and then rally the local state forces, but now, knowing the enemy meant to spread a virus, they had to act that night.

Every second they delayed meant greater danger for the state and the people.
