Chapter 309: Chapter 0308: Escaping by Shedding a Golden Cicada’s Shell (Four Updates)_1
“The authority figure has issued an order, he’s to rest well today and won’t see anyone,” the thin-faced guard shouted.
“Hurry back, the authority figure won’t et with you,” the guard with a dark face waved his hand.
“Did he say he wouldn’t see anyone, or just not see ?” Ye Xiong asked.
“What’s the point of asking so clearly, if the authority figure says he won’t see anyone, then he won’t see anyone.”
“Move along.”
The two guards were getting impatient.
Ye Xiong’s expression darkened as he said coldly, “What if I insist on seeing him?”
Shua shua!
The dark-faced guard quickly pulled out a gun, pointed it at Ye Xiong’s head and shouted, “Who do you think the authority figure is, that you can see him just because you say so? If you dare barge in again, believe it or not, I’ll blow your brains out.”
“Forcefully entering the authority figure’s sickroom with ill intent, even if we kill you, we wouldn’t face the slightest trouble,” said the thin-faced guard.
Ye Xiong hadn’t expected that anyone would dare to point a gun at his head, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long ti.
“Go ahead, shoot!”
Ye Xiong’s forehead pressed against the gun in the dark-faced guard’s hand, he moved closer step by step, emitting a powerful murderous aura, and stared at him like a venomous snake.
Enveloped by this murderous aura, the dark-faced guard felt his breathing suppressed. He hadn’t anticipated that Ye Xiong, seemingly ordinary, could emit such intense murderous intent, which completely caught him off guard.
Ye Xiong stared intently at his hand on the trigger, ready to take him down in case there was even a hint of him firing the gun before the sound could be heard.
Intimidated by Ye Xiong’s gaze, the dark-faced guard clearly faltered, losing his earlier arrogance but still stubbornly said, “It’s the authority figure’s command, he won’t see anyone today.”
“Aside from , has the authority figure seen anyone else today?” Ye Xiong asked.
“No.”
“What about yesterday?”
“Soone ca to see him once yesterday.”
Ye Xiong’s brow furrowed and he suddenly pushed the door and went in.
“Hey, you can’t go in there.”
“Co back out.”
The two guards hadn’t expected Ye Xiong to move so quickly; by the ti they reacted, Ye Xiong had already entered.
Inside the sickroom, Long Tianya was lying in bed reading a book. Seeing him enter, he said coldly, “Haven’t I said that no one is allowed in? Is my word wind in your ears?”
Long Tianya glared at the two guards and shouted, “Throw him out for , he is not welco here.”
On hearing this, the guards, one on each side, took hold of Ye Xiong, ready to make their move.
“Wait!”
Ye Xiong roared in anger, staring at Long Tianya and said, “Authority figure, I’ve co a long way to see you, and I an you no harm. What are you afraid of?”
“I don’t need you to co see , guards, please show him out.”
The guards didn’t dare to disobey the order and quickly moved to grab Ye Xiong.
Suddenly, Ye Xiong moved, swift as a fleeing rabbit.
Before the guards could react, Ye Xiong was already at Long Tianya’s side, his right hand reaching for his face.
The guards, taken aback and thinking Ye Xiong ant to harm Long Tianya, both drew their guns, pointing them at Ye Xiong, ready to shoot.
Suddenly, there was a ripping sound, and Long Tianya’s facial skin was torn off.
Strangely, after his facial skin was ripped off, there was no blood, but instead, another layer of skin was revealed.
Ye Xiong pulled hard, tearing off half of Long Tianya’s face along with a bunch of hair, revealing half of a stranger’s face, the sight was shocking, like a two-faced person.
If at this mont the two guards had not yet reacted, they would be utterly unfit for their duty.
“Who are you, really, and where is the officer?”
“Raise your hands, don’t move.”
The two guards shifted their guns from Ye Xiong to the elder disguised as Long Tianya and barked sternly.
Ye Xiong pulled out his phone, made a call, and inford Long Zaitian about the situation downstairs.
Monts later, Long Zaitian hurried upstairs.
On seeing Long Zaitian arrive, the two guards promptly saluted.
“What on earth is going on?” Long Zaitian demanded sharply.
“Reporting to the officer, yesterday two dical staff mbers ca in to give the leader a physical examination…”
The two guards, scared pale, had lost all their earlier arrogance.
If Ye Xiong hadn’t acted, who knows how long they would have been deceived!
Ye Xiong couldn’t be bothered to pursue the matter with them; after asking, he left with Long Zaitian.
“It seems that Long Tianya knew we were suspecting him and planning to place him under house arrest, so he implented this sche to pull off a ‘death substitution,’ using soone to replace his identity,” Long Zaitian said.
“This shows that he has given up on maintaining a facade with us and is ready to truly confront us.”
“By doing this, he has destroyed the last bit of trust from his superiors. He has burned the bridges, with no way back.”
“Why would he do this? With the information we have now, we can’t really bring him down. He could keep playing cat and mouse with us, keep using the identity of Long Tianya. By doing this now, isn’t he giving up this identity?” Ye Xiong wondered.
“It cos down to several reasons. First, he knows we’re placing him in soft detention and won’t let him off easily, so he decides to leave and seek treatnt elsewhere; second, there are issues within the Beast Organization that require his personal attention, so he must leave; third, he is preparing to officially go to battle with us.”
After Long Zaitian finished speaking, a worried expression crossed his face, “Ye Xiong, be careful. Long Tianya is driven into a corner by you, and now that his daughter has been captured by you and locked up by in Heavenly Prison, I’m afraid he will harbor a deep hatred for you and seek revenge.”
“I’m just afraid he’ll target my family. Officer, could you arrange for so top Dragon Group warriors to temporarily protect my family?” Ye Xiong asked.
“Even if you hadn’t ntioned it, I would have already arranged for people to covertly protect your family. Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. The Beast Organization has been severely damaged and has already lost many of its key mbers. Those were the heart and soul Long Tianya cultivated for over a decade; he won’t send people so easily to kill you, as losing anyone further would be a loss for him,” Long Zaitian explained.
Ye Xiong nodded, finding it reasonable.
During this period, the Beast Organization had already lost many of its elite mbers.
Bone Marrow, Cold-blooded, Li Chunpeng, Long Lan, and several larger and smaller experts, along with a batch of Gene Warriors.
Without certainty, Long Tianya wouldn’t take rash actions.
After Long Tianya dispatched many top Dragon Group warriors to covertly protect Ye’s father and Yangyang, Ye Xiong and Phoenix headed to the airport to take a plane back to Jiangnan City.
After the plane landed in the provincial capital, on the car ride back to Jiangnan City, Ye Xiong called He ngji and asked her to imdiately gather the core mbers of the Hunter Bodyguard Company for a eting.
Ye Xiong was so urgent because he wanted to see who among these core mbers was the mole who had betrayed him.
Ten minutes later, He ngji called back with news: Lu Long was missing.
Could it be that Lu Long was the mole?
Lu Long was a physical education teacher at Jiangnan University.
Ye Xiong had accidentally encountered him at the university last ti. When he asked for Lu Long’s assistance in the fight against Skeleton, he agreed without hesitation. From what Ye Xiong knew of him, Lu Long did not appear to be soone with a hidden agenda.
“Tell them the eting is canceled,” Ye Xiong said, then hung up the phone.
“Why cancel the eting? Do you believe that the missing Lu Long is definitely the mole?” Phoenix asked.
Ye Xiong shook his head: “Right now, I cannot be sure of anything. If Lu Long truly is the mole, then holding a eting would be pointless; if he is not, it’s very possible that he’s been captured or hard. The perpetrator might be attempting to use the ‘death substitution’ tactic to continue hiding. So, let’s pretend we are unaware.”
“And catch the culprit when they get careless?” Phoenix inquired.
Ye Xiong nodded.
