CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 409: HUNTING GAME

Ye Fan connected to Meng Yinglong’s call, and Meng Yinglong spoke first, mocking, "Ye Fan, are you alright? Although we’ve never met, I hate you so much that my teeth itch. You should know who I am, right?"

Neither of them had ever met, but they were very familiar with each other.

"You are Meng Yinglong, aren’t you," Ye Fan said calmly. "No matter what you throw at me, go ahead. I’m warning you, if you harm Chu Mengyao even slightly, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

"Oh, quite a temper, huh? You should see who is the prey and who is the hunter now," Meng Yinglong sneered, then continued smoothly, "But you can rest assured about one thing. I won’t do anything to Chu Mengyao until I’ve hooked you."

"What do you want me to do? Just lay it out," Ye Fan said decisively.

"Haha, straightforward, I like how eager you are to send yourself to death," Meng Yinglong laughed heartily. "Remember, follow my instructions next. You’re not allowed to carry any communication devices. In about ten minutes, there will be a helicopter to pick you up, and you can just get on the helicopter when the time comes. Don’t worry about anything else. Also, make sure your people behave. There are people around you watching, and if I find anyone tailing or acting suspiciously, you will never see Chu Mengyao again."

Meng Yinglong decided to have his men hunt Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao, making them die tragically in despair.

Naturally, some cleanup must be arranged. Nami holds significant power here, and if anyone follows Ye Fan, it would cause a lot of turmoil. The presence of Du Xueqi and the other women posed a considerable threat and had to be considered.

Therefore, the fourth captain, Scorpion, had already infiltrated the surroundings of Ye Fan and the others, monitoring every move of the targets.

"Whatever you say, I’ll do," Ye Fan agreed readily.

"Very good, I like how obedient you are," Meng Yinglong said coldly. "I look forward to seeing you soon, and by then, to see you in pessimistic despair."

With that said, Meng Yinglong hung up the phone.

Ye Fan fully agreed with Meng Yinglong’s words. Before reaching Mengyao’s side, he had to be extra cautious. Of course, doing nothing was out of the question.

After injecting a specially-made tracking device into his body, he looked at those around him and said, without room for debate, "I’ll take the lead, and you act according to the situation. Du Xueqi, you and the other five find an opportunity to silently infiltrate out from here and then join me as soon as possible. The specially-made tracker inside me won’t be detected; this will be your clue to find me. In addition, Nami and Ku Eryue, you need to cover for and mislead them, then find a chance to root out the people lurking on the periphery. Once the time is right, eliminate all of them."

"Yes." Du Xueqi and the five women agreed solemnly.

"Good." Nami and Ku Eryue exchanged glances, then agreed to Ye Fan’s arrangement. Initially, both women were eager to personally join the rescue mission for Mengyao, but since Ye Fan had instructed this way, they had to comply.

Still, the two women firmly believed that with Ye Fan charging in the front and Du Xueqi and the five women acting stealthily, success was guaranteed.

After arranging several sets of action plans, Ye Fan then arrived on the building’s rooftop, boarded the helicopter, and left.

More than an hour later, the helicopter descended at the edge of a Primitive Forest.

This was a temporary small camp for the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps, surrounded by mercenaries armed to the teeth, glaring fiercely and exuding their intimidating hostility.

Meng Yinglong, accompanied by his steward, War Wolf, Beauty Snake, and Climbing Tiger, came up to greet him.

Ye Fan looked at Meng Yinglong and his entourage, his gaze full of calmness, although his thoughts were anything but stable, contemplating what might happen. He still didn’t know what Meng Yinglong was planning, hence some anxiety.

He observed this camp, with about five hundred people, half of whom seemed ready to go at any moment, lined up like troops, ready for an assault.

"Where’s Mengyao?" Ye Fan asked indifferently.

"Don’t rush; you’ll see her immediately. Speaking of which, you’re quite a man, with some courage. An ordinary person would’ve fled for their life long ago. The fact that you obediently came to rescue Chu Mengyao truly surprises me," Meng Yinglong said arrogantly. "But that’s good; it aligns with my plan. Otherwise, the upcoming game would be no fun."

He was truly afraid Ye Fan would ignore Chu Mengyao’s fate, as that would ruin his plan. Meanwhile, capturing and killing Ye Fan with ease was clearly not something simple, but now it had become much easier.

Meng Yinglong waved his hand, and War Wolf stepped forward to perform a body search. Ye Fan was very cooperative, then they used several electronic devices to inspect Ye Fan’s body. Only after finding no weapons or tricks did he relax and smile, "You’re very considerate, extremely obedient, just as I want you to be. Very good, very nice."

Having said that, he snapped his fingers, and a group of people escorted Chu Mengyao out of a tent and brought her to Ye Fan’s side.

Chu Mengyao hadn’t suffered any hardships and wasn’t restrained in any way. In this camp, Meng Yinglong’s people were everywhere, and with people watching over her, Chu Mengyao had absolutely no chance to escape.

"Are you alright?" Ye Fan inquired warmly, pulling Chu Mengyao closer and holding her next to him.

"I’m alright." Chu Mengyao wasn’t afraid and quickly whispered, "Meng Yinglong is using me as a hostage to lure you out, planning to put us both into the Primitive Forest ahead, and then hunt us. You have great skills, but I don’t have the strength even to truss a chicken. If I become your burden, it greatly increases their likelihood of succeeding in their murderous attempt."

Just as Chu Mengyao finished speaking, Meng Yinglong laughed and said loudly, "Ye Fan, Chu Mengyao, how does the welcoming gift I’ve prepared for you look? Do you like it very much? I believe you must like it tremendously."

Meng Yinglong laughed continuously, completely disregarding Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao.

He harbored hatred towards both, determined to make them suffer, tormenting them in despair like prey, experiencing brutal torture before finding satisfaction.

"I’ll give you two minutes to escape. Two minutes later, the hunt begins," Meng Yinglong announced his game rule with a sinister smile.

Immediately, War Wolf, Beauty Snake, and Climbing Tiger, the three captains, revealed a bloodthirsty aura.
