CHAPTER 497: CHAPTER 315, EFFEMINATE XIE PIANXIAN! _2

Chen Fenglei pushed the door open and said, "King, Miss Sheng was kidnapped on the way while escorting Tang Fei back."

"What happened?" Zhong Daolong asked, his expression incredulous.

Chen Fenglei dared not meet Zhong Daolong’s eyes and reported with his head bowed, "The first to receive the news was the Fengbei Transportation Bureau... Their traffic system had an accident warning, and from the warning video, they saw a red sports car being swallowed by another strangely shaped large vehicle..."

"They looked up the information of the driver on the red sports car and found she was Miss Sheng Xinhua, also knowing Miss Sheng is the daughter of Yan Xiang’s family, they immediately reported it to the Phoenix Police Department..."

"Additionally, they have confirmed that another kidnapped passenger is Captain Tang of the Tang Fei... Now the transportation department and the Phoenix Police Department are both tracking that large vehicle..."

Zhong Daolong looked up and asked, "Isn’t Tang Fei a Cultivator? Was he so easily kidnapped?"

"Captain Tang might have the ability to protect himself, but Miss Sheng is utterly defenseless...."

"They had just left the palace, and they were kidnapped just like that." Zhong Daolong glared at Chen Fenglei, his voice thundering with anger, "What are they trying to do? This is a slap in the face to the Royal Family."

"I have already released all the worker bees from the Beehive to fully engage in the rescue of Miss Sheng and Captain Tang... As soon as there is any news, I will report it to the King immediately."

Zhong Daolong looked at Chen Fenglei and said, "Is it that the Beehive can’t handle its tasks, or is it that you can’t handle your job?"

"I admit my guilt." Chen Fenglei bowed in apology.

"Go, I hope this time, I can see your control over the Beehive and over Phoenix City."

"Yes," Chen Fenglei answered loudly.

------

Phoenix City is very vast but also small.

Networks is intricate like spider webs, and intelligence networks are intertwined like milk blending with water. There is a bit of each in the other.

The daughter of the Finance Minister, Sheng Xinhua, and the lad from the Old Land, Tang Fei have been kidnapped—a hefty news that instantly captivated all factions.

"The daughter of the Finance Minister got kidnapped? Are these people out of their minds?"

"Is this aimed at Sheng Jing... or at the knife that is the Monitoring Bureau?"

"Hehehe, probably only the Yu Family dares to do such a thing, right? The Monitoring Bureau targeted Yu Bainian, and the Yu Family directly made a move on Tang Fei..."

"The Lu Family might also be a possible perpetrator... Lu Yunhang went to jail, and it’s said that Lu Dongsheng’s position is no longer secure. The Lu Family has become an exposed commander, how could they not be harboring rage?"

"Shush, silence..."

-------

This blade is chillingly cold.

Threads of icy air penetrate the skin and seep into the bones, giving a spine-chilling sense of horror.

Your honey, my arsenic.

Tang Fei drew in these corrosive energies, causing the Yin Yang Qi inside him to surge dramatically, greatly enhancing his strength.

Mo Fan inhaled but felt as if countless lonely wandering ghosts were caressing and climbing over him, a nervous thrill...

Mo Fan was terrified.

He didn’t know when this person had slipped in, he hadn’t even sensed any dangerous aura.

You should know, being a Cultivator, he had a considerable degree of perceptiveness and control over his surrounding environment and airflows.

A person he was unable to detect—how powerful must this individual be?

"Tang Fei?" Mo Fan asked.

He dared not turn around, fearing that turning would result in his neck being sliced by the blade.

But, at this time and place, who else could put a knife to his neck but Tang Fei?

Truly, a disciple of the Great Grandmaster is extraordinary.

He turned out to be even more formidable than anticipated.

"You guessed right," Tang Fei spoke sternly, "Now it’s my turn to ask... who are you?"

Tang Fei had difficulty carrying away the unconscious Sheng Xinhua undetected, so after slicing an opening in the car’s side, he had been waiting for the right moment.

When the car stopped steady by the cliffside, he took the opportunity to slip out.

However, he did not act rashly.

He wanted to see who had been meddling behind the scenes...

Before the kidnappers could dump Sheng Xinhua at the junkyard without revealing any identity or disclosing their mastermind, Tang Fei knew he could no longer wait and silently hid in the back of the cockpit, subduing Mo Fan as soon as he climbed in.

Tang Fei hadn’t systematically learned any particular steps or techniques from secret manuals; all his experience was from fighting mutant beasts and predators in Haunted Mountain since childhood, along with his year of training in Ghost Prison.

In Ghost Prison, there were no people, only ghosts.

Humans are not as good as ghosts.

To fight against ghostly beings, one must be even more brutal and evil than they are.

And of course, quicker than them.

"Mo Fan, I’m just someone who does jobs for money," Mo Fan said.

"You dare talk to me in this manner with the knife at your throat?" Tang Fei sneered.

The Yin Jiao sword pressed forward slightly, and a glistening cut appeared on Mo Fan’s neck.

Mo Fan? Daring to ask me not to disturb him.

Utterly ignorant of death.

Mo Fan’s muscles tensed instantly as he hurriedly explained, "I’m saying my name is Mo Fan..."

"Oh." Tang Fei realized, thinking this guy was defiant to the end.

However, he had made a mistake, and he had no intention of apologizing.

"I am not interested in who you are, I am interested in who is standing behind you," Tang Fei said, "I am a minor character; they can kidnap me as they please. The daughter of the Finance Minister, isn’t she someone you can just kidnap whenever you wish? Who is the person paying you?"
