At the Grand City apartment complex, Ye Chen ran upstairs like a madman and found the door open.
After rushing in, he realized that Xia Ruoxueâs mother was already inside.
Her motherâs eyes were filled with anger!
She had given Xia Ruoxue the latest life tracking bracelet, which would constantly transmit Xia Ruoxueâs heartbeat and health status.
However, twenty minutes ago, the data transmission stopped.
As a mother, she instinctively sensed that something was wrong and rushed over to the Grand City apartment complex immediately.
Once there, she realized that the entire apartment was in chaos. When she checked the surveillance footage, she discovered that three people had taken Xia Ruoxue away!
She had already mobilized the power the Xia family had to investigate the matter, and right now, she was searching for new evidence at the crime scene. When she saw Ye Chen appear, she almost broke down! Her endless rage made her want to kill Ye Chen!
She grabbed Ye Chenâs clothes and shouted, âWhat happened to the promise you made to me a few days ago? Didnât you say that no one could hurt Ruoxue? Why is Ruoxue missing now? Say something!â
Ye Chenâs eyes were cold. He did not speak and allowed Xia Ruoxueâs mother to attack him. At the same time, he clenched his fists, and cold killing intent swept out.
âGive me a day. I will bring Ruoxue back in one piece.â
Xia Ruoxueâs mother was about to say something when Ye Chen continued, âIf I fail, you can take my life!â
After saying that, Ye Chen entered the room and scanned his surroundings. He did not find anything here but there were remnants of a powerful expertâs aura. It seemed that Ye Lingtianâs speculation was correct. This was the work of a grandmaster, or more than one grandmaster.
Damn it!
Ye Chen tried to calm himself down and made three phone calls.
The first was to Bai Libing, asking her to use the police force to find Xia Ruoxue.
The second one was to Jin Lengyan, as he wanted to know which forces in River City had grandmasters.
The third was to Zhou Zhengde, to see if the Zhou family could find any more useful information.
However, five minutes had passed, and no one had given him the answer he was looking for.
At that moment, Ye Chenâs phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
âHello?â
A low and mocking voice then replied, âTrash of the Ye family, how do you feel now? Are you nervous?â
Ye Chenâs eyes narrowed and his killing intent exploded. His voice was cold as he spoke, âIt was you who took Ruoxue away, right? I donât know who you are, and I donât know what you want, but Iâll only give you one chance. Let her go now and I wonât look for you, nor will I pursue you. This matter will end here.â âHowever, if you refuse, I will find you. I will personally kill you and break your neck! No matter who is behind you, I will make them disappear from this world as well!â
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned. There was something wrong with the script!
He was the one who was supposed to be threatening Ye Chen, not the other way around!
Just as he was about to say something, Ye Cheng abruptly hung up!
F*ck! What the hell was this?
He had not told him the address yet! Without an address, how could they get him to come here?
The man called back again, but he received a ânot in serviceâ response from the phone company.
The man was on the verge of going crazy!
Could it be that this kid had given up on the woman in front of him just like that?
River City, Bcilun Port.
The man took his phone and walked toward Jiang Yuanli and Chen Baoguo.
âDid that kid say when he would come?â Chen Baoguo sneered.
âJiang Song, is that kid panicking now?â Jiang Yuanli asked.
Jiang Songâs expression was very ugly, as if he had eaten sh*t. He glanced at the two of them and said helplessly, âThat kid⌠He threatened me and then hung up. He didnât even give me the chance to tell him the address.â
Hmm?
âWhat did you say? Call him back!â
âThat kid turned off his phoneâŚâ
âHow is that possible?â Chen Bao Guo frowned.
He did not understand what Ye Chen was up to.
He glanced at Xia Ruoxue, who was tied up and blindfolded. They wanted to capture Sun Yi, but they did not expect their people to kidnap Xia Ruoxue instead.
Xia Ruoxue was the daughter of the Xia family. If anything happened to her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They were just trying to bait Ye Chen. However, it seemed that the fish had failed to take the bait!
âFind a way to inform him. No matter what, he must appear here today!â
âYes, sir!â
River City, Grand City apartment complex.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. A strange rune was drawn on the ground in front of him, and Xia Ruoxueâs earring was placed within the rune.
He was furious!
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would definitely not use this kind of technique, as this searching method was too taxing on the body.
If he was not careful, his body would suffer a backlash and his cultivation foundation would be damaged. However, he was past the point of caring about such things.
Ye Chen formed a hand seal and kept muttering strange words.
This was the Great Dao Searching technique, a supreme technique that the old man had given him. Using his blood essence, he could search for people within a radius of thousands of miles!
As Ye Chen chanted faster and faster, the earring in front of him floated up!
Moments later, it started burning.
Furthermore, the flames were green, and did not take the shape of normal flames.
âNow!â
Ye Chen bit his finger and a drop of his blood essence shot into the flames, causing it to burn even brighter!
An image actually appeared in his mind.
Containers, cranes, the sea, BcilunâŚ
Ye Chenâs eyes opened abruptly. His blood surged and he could no longer hold it in. He spat out a mouthful of blood!
Even though his face was pale, his cold killing intent continued to seep out.
The entire house fell deathly silent.
âSo you dared to touch my people. I will definitely uproot you!â
4pm, Bcilun Port.
This was River Cityâs old port. Because the government had established the newer Wangjiang Port, this place was temporarily empty.
The port was covered with old containers.
At this moment, inside a container, Xia Ruoxue was tied to an iron chair. The tight rope around her hands had already left a faint trace of blood on her fair skin.
She was not nervous at all, but was paying attention to everything around her.
From the looks of it, these people were ancient martial artists. Furthermore, it seemed that they knew her identity, and had thus refrained from hurting her. They even gave her water regularly.
Thus, she concluded that she was bait, as the people outside seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.
âCould it be that these people are trying to use me to threaten the Xia family?
In the entire River City and Jiangnan Province, who would dare to take such a risk to offend the Xia family?â
At this moment, Jiang Song walked in with a bottle of water in his hand. He said to Xia Ruxue expressionlessly, âDrink!â
Xia Ruoxue turned around and rejected the other partyâs offer. She said coldly, âWho are you? Do you know what it means to offend the Xia family?â
After being rejected, Jiang Song threw the water out.
âI donât care if you drink it or not! F*ck, when have I ever served anyone like this? I, JiangâŚâ
Jiang Songâs voice stopped abruptly, as he had almost exposed himself.
âMiss Xia, thereâs no need to use the name of the Xia family to threaten me.
This world is not as simple as you think. Iâm just a nobody. So what if I kill you? And youâŚâ
Before he could finish speaking, a device in his hand suddenly flashed red.
Naturally, he did not think that it was Ye Chen. However, if they were discovered by others, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, he ignored Xia Ruoxue and hurriedly rushed out.
After leaving the container, Jiang Song suddenly noticed that there was a gust of wind at Bcilun Port.
It was getting windy.
It was as if the entire Beilun Port had been locked down by an invisible force..
