Chapter 458: The Won (First Update) _1
Throughout the whole night, Ye Xiong couldn’t sleep due to worry.
The other mbers of the Hunter Organization also didn’t get much sleep, and everyone was feeling very depressed.
Until dawn, there was no call from Long Lan, and the people sent out to gather information had co back empty-handed.
Finally, at eight o’clock the next morning, Long Lan called and said, “By the Mo River, there’s an abandoned factory. If you want to save them, be there within an hour.”
After providing the clear address, Long Lan hung up the phone.
“What did she say?” asked He ngji as soon as the call ended.
“She asked to go to an abandoned factory by the Mo River to rescue them,” replied Ye Xiong.
“Did she specify that you have to go alone?”
“No.”
“We’ll go with you.”
“No need, I’ll just bring two people with .”
Ye Xiong’s gaze rested on the eight core mbers.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring more people, but he had a premonition that this operation would be the most dangerous one in history. The fact that Long Lan did not request him to go alone ant that she was fully prepared and confident, indicating that no matter how many people he brought, it would be futile.
Although everyone here was a master, against those monster-like Gene Warriors, they would not stand a chance. Taking them would be sending them to their deaths.
Only two people were needed to bring Yang Xinyi back; any more was unnecessary.
“I’m going,” declared Chen Xiao.
“I’ll go too,” announced Vermilion Bird as he stood up.
“I want to go as well,” An Le said as she stepped forward, pulling Angel along. “Sister, let’s go together.”
Murong Ruyin and Duanmu Linglong stood without moving, and they didn’t speak.
“Angel and An Le will accompany , and Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird will stay here,” Ye Xiong decided imdiately.
Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird were in the midst of a passionate romance; facing such danger, he didn’t want them to co to harm.
“Angel, An Le, it’s dangerous, and I can’t guarantee we’ll co back alive. Are you sure you want to go?” Ye Xiong asked again.
“I’ve died once before, what’s there to fear?” An Le said.
“I can’t just watch my sister go to her death, can I?” Angel reasoned.
“Get ready, I’m going out to make a phone call,” Ye Xiong said.
After speaking, he left the living room and stood on the balcony.
The golden sunlight shone on him, bright and gentle—a pleasant feeling!
Downstairs the streets were bustling and the crowds were getting noisy, all starting their busy day.
Even though they were busy, at least they could rest assured that they would see the sun tomorrow.
Ye Xiong’s premonition was very strong; this ti, even he himself lacked confidence.
Long Lan had been scared off by him. Unless she was absolutely certain she could take him on without fail, why would she casually arrange a eting with him, and not fear being killed by him?
This excursion was bound to be anything but simple and was likely to be extrely dangerous.
He took out his phone and dialed Du Yuehua’s number.
“What a surprise, the sun must’ve risen from the west for you to call ,” Du Yuehua said, astonished.
“I called because I missed you, okay?”
“Is your wife or lover on her period?” Du Yuehua joked.
“Sister Hua, don’t talk like that,” Ye Xiong scolded with a darkened face.
“I can’t think of any other reason for you to contact ,” Du Yuehua said sourly. “How long has it been since you last visited? I thought you’d forgotten .”
“I’ve been a bit busy and couldn’t get away. I’ll co to see you as soon as I’m free,” reassured Ye Xiong quickly, pausing before asking, “How’s Youyou? Has she gone to school yet?”
“She’s in the car. I’m about to take her to kindergarten. Talk to her; I’ll drive,” Du Yuehua offered.
Then, Youyou’s distinctive childlike voice ca through on the line.
“Uncle Xiong, why haven’t you co to see Youyou in so long, huhu,” Youyou whined sweetly.
“Uncle Xiong has been busy lately, but I’ll definitely play with you the next ti.”
“I want to go to the amusent park, the one we visited last ti.”
“Alright, alright.”
“Rember to bring the cara, last ti you didn’t take any photos, and the kids at the kindergarten are asking for them!”
“Okay, okay, Uncle will definitely rember.”
“Uncle Xiong, you should call Mom more often, she misses you a lot…”
“Youyou, don’t talk nonsense…” ca Du Yuehua’s interrupting voice over the phone.
“I’m not lying, you’re always like this, telling you to call but you never do.”
On the other end of the phone, mother and daughter were arguing, leaving Ye Xiong out of the conversation.
“Ah Xiong, I’ve arrived at the school, that’s it for now,” Du Yuehua said, then hurriedly hung up the phone.
Ye Xiong chuckled, picked up his cell phone, and dialed Luo Weiwei’s number.
It rang for a long ti with no answer.
He had no choice but to call Yang Xiaoqiao.
“Why are you calling so early today?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked in surprise.
“Just woke up, was thinking about you.”
“What about her? Isn’t she with you?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked.
“I slept at the company last night, didn’t go ho.”
“Why didn’t you co sleep at my place? My roommate is still not back,” Yang Xiaoqiao said, her voice tinged with lancholy.
“I was afraid your body hadn’t recovered yet, so I didn’t co to you.”
“Does sleeping together always have to be for bad things? Can’t we just sleep?” Yang Xiaoqiao said, a bit unhappy. “Your thoughts are so dirty, you deserve to be criticized.”
“I was wrong, I deserve criticism,” Ye Xiong quickly admitted his mistake.
“My roommate will be back this afternoon. Just the thought of that bed drives crazy. It’ll be trouble if she finds out,” Yang Xiaoqiao said worriedly.
“If she does find out, just insist that you were bitten by a cockroach.”
“I’m not good at lying, I’m afraid I’ll be discovered and then it would be terrible.”
“Then just tell her straight up that you were going ‘bam bam bam’ on her bed with a handso guy,” Ye Xiong said, laughing.
“I might as well bury my head in the sand like an ostrich,” Yang Xiaoqiao said as she made strange noises with her mouth.
“What are you doing?” Ye Xiong asked, curious.
“Eating breakfast, getting ready for work. Later, I’ll have to listen to that annoying supervisor drone on, you have no idea how nagging our sales supervisor is, talking nonsense for half an hour every day, it’s driving insane,” Yang Xiaoqiao ranted.
“If it’s too hard, just quit, I’ll support you.”
“I don’t want that.”
Yang Xiaoqiao firmly refused, then spoke very seriously, “I’m with you not for your money, you know that right?”
“Of course, I know you’re not with for my money, but for my body.”
“Jerk,” Yang Xiaoqiao cursed.
Ye Xiong could only laugh helplessly.
Looking through the window, he saw the An Family Sisters ready to go and said, “Xiao Qiao, I have to get going, work hard.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiong walked into the living room and, looking at the several handguns on the table, picked two and clipped them to his waist.
“Is the car ready?”
“Yes, it’s downstairs.”
Ye Xiong’s gaze fell on An Le, and he frowned, “Why aren’t you wearing a bulletproof vest?”
“You aren’t wearing one either,” An Le retorted.
He was planning to transform, and how could he do that with a bulletproof vest on?
“Go put one on,” Ye Xiong ordered.
Pouting, An Le ran off to put on a bulletproof vest.
Once she had put it on and returned, Ye Xiong took the two won downstairs, got into the car, and sped away.
After they had left, He ngji’s gaze fell on the others and she asked, “I’m planning to follow them, who wants to join ?”
