Chapter 170: Chapter 170: First-Level Captain"Could something have happened?" Ye Xuan’s expression changed, and without any time to think further, he hurried upstairs. Upon reaching the door, he lightened his footsteps instead of opening it right away, standing at the doorway with his hand on the doorknob. After all, this was someone else’s private matter; as long as nothing detrimental had happened to Qin Lan, it would be improper for him to intrude. Ye Xuan activated his X-ray vision and immediately peered into the room. At that moment, Qin Lan seemed to have passed out, being moved onto the sofa by Zhong Kang, who, after doing all this, made a phone call. Standing at the door, he "clearly" saw that after speaking a few words, the person on the other end of the line showed excitement, then promptly hung up. Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, unable to hear what Zhong Kang had said. But he had a feeling it wasn’t anything good, and it definitely involved Qin Lan! Just then, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he saw Zhong Kang stand up from the sofa and walk towards the door. Quickly, he felt the doorknob turn; Ye Xuan didn’t make rash moves, instead waiting silently for the right moment. The doorknob turned slightly, followed by a noticeable pause, and he sensed a faint killing aura coming from the other side. Click! And at that moment, the doorknob turned violently, and the door was suddenly ajar. A glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes, and as the door swung open, he dashed in like a cheetah ready to pounce. The next instant, Zhong Kang’s figure appeared before him. He clearly caught the fleeting look of surprise in the other’s eyes. Without a word, Ye Xuan reached straight for his opponent’s throat. Zhong Kang clearly didn’t expect the person outside to be a returning Ye Xuan, let alone someone with such swift reflexes. Caught off guard, he was immediately grabbed by the throat by Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan was also stunned. He hadn’t expected Zhong Kang to be so weak... He couldn’t even dodge his attack, a far cry from the mercenaries Ye Xuan had faced before. Could it be that he wasn’t the captain of Dragon Soul? Doubts surfaced in Ye Xuan’s mind, but he still closed the door and pressed the other man against the wall. Glancing at Qin Lan and seeing she had only fainted, Ye Xuan exhaled in relief. However, seeing the bright red handprint on her face, a chill flashed through Ye Xuan’s eyes! "Did you hit her?" "So what, you feel sorry for her?" Zhong Kang, still captured by Ye Xuan, didn’t panic; instead, he sneered, "This cheap woman, sheltering a wild man while I was away, living together. She betrayed me, hitting her is the least she deserves." "Huh, is that how you treat a girlfriend?" Ye Xuan asked coldly, "You didn’t even try to understand the truth and you struck your woman. Is she your girlfriend, or just a plaything?" This Zhong Kang, still arrogant when caught, had directed his arrogance in all the wrong places. In my presence, even if you were a true dragon, you’d still have to lie low! "I’m her boyfriend, I can treat her however I want, what’s it to you?" Zhong Kang stared at Ye Xuan, his lips curling into a sinister smile, "Mr. Ye, let me tell you, tonight I will treat her like an object again, to be shared with others!" "You’re scum!" Ye Xuan’s gaze turned icy. "Say what you will, but I advise you to release me immediately. I’m a member of Dragon Soul, an organization you can’t afford to mess with!" Zhong Kang wasn’t afraid of Ye Xuan in the slightest, even threatening him. "What? You’re from Dragon Soul?" Ye Xuan "was greatly surprised," his face showing panic, and his grip on Zhong Kang’s hand loosened due to nervousness. "Heh heh, it looks like you’ve heard of this organization, so you should know what Dragon Soul is like, right? If you don’t want to die, give up now!" Zhong Kang sneered mockingly, quite satisfied with Ye Xuan’s discomposed expression. Every time he revealed his identity, he thoroughly enjoyed the reverence in other people’s eyes. "How can you prove that you’re from Dragon Soul?" Ye Xuan’s gaze flickered, but he feigned hesitation, appearing to lack confidence. With a smug smile, Zhong Kang straightened the collar Ye Xuan had ruffled and pulled out an ID from his chest pocket. "Feast your eyes on this, it’s my ID. I am a first-class captain of Dragon Soul!" Ye Xuan snatched the ID, glanced at it, and saw an odd pattern identical to the one on the Dragon Soul Arm Patch from before. Only under this pattern was there a star, confirming that he indeed was a first-class captain of Dragon Soul. "Now you will come with me." Zhong Kang took back the ID and pulled out handcuffs from his pocket. "I have no quarrel with Dragon Soul, why are you arresting me?" Ye Xuan’s face turned pale, but a hint of mockery glinted in the depths of his eyes. "No quarrel? Heh, I now suspect you’re a spy from another country, here to steal secrets and possibly involved in a military espionage case! I am ordered to arrest you." Zhong Kang chuckled coldly, decisively slapping the big label of military spy on Ye Xuan, intent on bringing him down. Today, as he returned, he had already dug up incriminating info—his girlfriend was cohabiting with another man, an intolerable betrayal for him. His desire to dominate was particularly strong, seeing Qin Lan’s actions as betrayal! Thus, he immediately used his Dragon Soul privileges to pull up information on Ye Xuan, finding the other was merely a discharged veteran. A discharged soldier was nothing in his eyes, an existence he could snuff out at any time, so he sent some teammates to ambush Ye Xuan en route. But to his surprise, Ye Xuan showed up alive before him, while those teammates’ phones were unreachable. He was unclear what had happened. Had those men failed to stop Ye Xuan, allowing him to escape? Despite his doubts, there was no time to think about this now, as the urgency on the other end was pressing him. Having those two deal with Ye Xuan should have been enough, especially under his watchful eye, and Ye Xuan shouldn’t have been able to escape! Meanwhile, after knocking Qin Lan unconscious, he was just about to leave when Ye Xuan appeared again, making Zhong Kang sense something was off. Especially when Ye Xuan swiftly subdued him—his Combat Power was beyond Zhong Kang’s expectations. So, he arrested Ye Xuan on charges of leaking military secrets, brandishing his own ID. As for the recklessness of arresting someone on a whim, he didn’t care at all! Dragon Soul never needed a reason to make arrests, and even the Mayor of East Sea City had to show great respect upon seeing his ID. After all, Dragon Soul wasn’t governed by anyone else, acting directly under national command, with no one daring to intervene! Seeing Zhong Kang ready to handcuff him, Ye Xuan remained calm, his lips curving into an amused smile, "I suggest you don’t bring out those handcuffs. You might find them hard to put away again when you want to." "Ha ha, once you’re handcuffed, do you really think you can get away?" Zhong Kang laughed heartily, not taking Ye Xuan’s words seriously. Click! The handcuffs securely locked around Ye Xuan’s wrists.
