``` Under Fang Jueyu's frantic acceleration, a journey that usually took an hour was completed in less than forty minutes. Fortunately, it wasn't rush hour, so the roads weren't too congested. With his skilled driving and remarkable reflexes, he managed to make it through unscathed. However, under the watchful eyes of the road surveillance, this incident didn't escape the traffic department's notice. They even thought it was some rich kid recklessly speeding and immediately dispatched officers to track down a vehicle. "Damn, why are there traffic cops here now?" Just as he was about to leave Jiangnan City, a checkpoint had already been set up at the exit. The staff here had already received word to intercept Fang Jueyu's car! "Sir, according to our surveillance, we found that you were severely speeding. Please get out of the car and cooperate for a check!" The lead traffic cop said to Fang Jueyu, perhaps suspecting he was driving under the influence. "Sorry, I have an emergency!" Fang Jueyu didn't have time to be delayed here. "My girlfriend's brother was taken away by a car. I chased all the way here, and because I was too anxious, I drove a bit too fast." "That won't do! Your actions are putting your own safety and others' safety at risk! Have you reported it to the police?" The traffic cop seemed to notice Fang Jueyu's urgency. "Not yet, the child has only been missing for a little over an hour. It doesn't meet the criteria for an investigation. Sir, whatever penalty you give, I will accept. Anyway, you've recorded my license plate, I can't escape. Just let me go find him first!" Fang Jueyu pleaded.

Please get out of the car for inspection and penalties!" The law is without mercy, and this is not wrong, the traffic cop added. "We can help you report it, if the situation is true, they should help you find him quickly!" "By then it will be too late!" Fang Jueyu became increasingly anxious, his gaze turning to Gu Yi, as if seeking his help. "Young master, I can hypnotize them for you, do you need me to do this?" Gu Yi's mouth didn't move, but the voice seemed to directly reach his ear. "No, if something like that happens, things will only get more complicated!" Fang Jueyu knew that if Gu Yi really did that, it would be a huge hassle to deal with the aftermath. "Xiao Yi, do you have any other methods?" Fang Jueyu asked. "You can ask that girl named Zhuang Ying; she should be able to connect you to some people!" Xiao Yi said. "Right!" Since their family has been around for so long, they must have more than just wealth, their connections must be widespread too, right? "Sister Ying, Xinyu's brother is in trouble... What? You already know? Okay, okay, I am now blocked by traffic cops at the exit due to speeding. I suspect Xiao Yu is in a factory outside Jiangnan City..." Sure enough, Zhuang Ying's information was very up-to-date. Although she never leaves home, it seems like nothing escapes her eyes. Moments later, the traffic cop's communicator buzzed. Fang Jueyu only heard the deep voice of a middle-aged man from the other side, and then the cop turned to him with a strange look in his eyes. "Let him pass!" Unexpectedly, the cop directly had the checkpoint removed. "Captain, this..." The traffic policemen were puzzled. "It's an order from the bureau, the city bureau, not the district bureau!" Though reluctant, they had to follow the orders. "Thank you, after this is over, I will come back to accept the penalties!" said Fang Jueyu, knowing it was his connections that worked. He quickly floored the gas and left the highway exit. Wild grasses covered the outskirts, with only a relatively new road, flanked by farmland and factories. Such places are rare these days; perhaps they were more common ten or twenty years ago, but these areas are slated for urbanization next year. A gray van was parked outside a deserted warehouse near the farmland. A few people huddled together smoking—surprisingly, among them were not only Huaxia people but also some with Western appearances. They didn't dress ragged like human traffickers but wore matching uniforms, looking more like members of an organization. "Business is getting harder these days!" One of the Huaxia men sighed. "What can you do? Public security in Huaxia is getting better; there aren't many opportunities left! It's better in neighboring countries, where a few missing people a day go unnoticed. Members there live more comfortably!" "Last time, the division even scolded us, asking why the number of test subjects we provide has decreased. But what can we do? If they have the guts, they should come to Huaxia and grab test subjects themselves!" "Keep your voice down!" Another hurriedly hushed him. "You know the division people are coming today. If they hear you, you'll be in trouble!" "It's not like they're here yet; I'm just complaining..." "Screech!" With a screech of brakes, a shiny new Bentley stopped in front of the warehouse, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Who would come to such a desolate place at this time? A young man, around twenty years old, and a middle-aged man who seemed wooden, stepped out of the car, heading straight for the warehouse. "Who are you? What do you want?" The group immediately blocked their path. "Hmm?" Fang Jueyu initially assumed they were just ordinary human traffickers, but it didn't seem that way. What kind of traffickers would wear matching uniforms? This was clearly some organized gang! Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the gray van, and immediately his face turned grim. His first time meeting Guo Xinyu's parents, which should have been a happy day, was ruined by these bastards. That something so dramatic could happen to him was either too unfortunate or too lucky. "Where's the kid you took?" With Gu Yi behind him, Fang Jueyu felt confident despite facing five or six hefty thugs. "Damn, they're here for someone!" They had been in this line of work long enough to know that being pursued wasn't new. But to be caught within an hour by family was unusual. Have they been exposed already? "What do we do?" the foreigner asked. "Deal with them! Haven't we handled it like this before?" Quickly, several dark gun barrels were aimed at Fang Jueyu's head. "Just two of you dare to come after us. You sure have guts!" "Guns!" Fang Jueyu froze. "Gu... Gu Yi..." "Leave it to me, young master!" Gu Yi calmly walked forward, seemingly unbothered by the armed men in front of him. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Without hesitation, the group pulled their triggers simultaneously at Gu Yi. An eerie scene unfolded, as the bullets all stopped less than half a meter before Gu Yi, as if they had hit an invisible, impenetrable wall! "How is that possible!" The group was dumbfounded by the sight. Was this a science fiction movie? Were they still dreaming? "Hahaha! Scared now?" Fang Jueyu had seen this scene in Xiao Yi's records, where his father, Fang Huai, had similarly terrified a group of mercenaries and superpower users on his parent's day. Although seeing it reappear was shocking, it didn't leave him speechless. "How dare you kidnap my girlfriend's brother? Let me tell you, in my family, we have 99 more as powerful as him!" "You're seeking death!" One of them aimed his gun at Fang Jueyu, and a heated bullet roared toward his chest. Instinctively, Fang Jueyu shut his eyes tight. His physical condition was quite strong, but not strong enough to dodge bullets like Gu Yi! However, several seconds past the gunshot, and Fang Jueyu opened his eyes slightly. The bullet dangled mid-air, unmoving. He reached out to touch it; the brass bullet still emitted a high temperature, burning a blister on his fingertip. "Ouch!" He quickly retracted his finger. "Gu Yi, take care of them quickly!" "Sure." Gu Yi remained laconic, vanishing like a ghost from Fang Jueyu's side. Moments later, the entire group fell to the ground as if knocked out by some force. "All done, young master!" Gu Yi reappeared behind him. "You..." Fang Jueyu stammered, lacking words to express himself, finally uttering a universal Huaxia exclamation, "Awesome!" "Hurry, find the people!" Fang Jueyu rushed into the warehouse. Inside, the warehouse was nearly empty. In a small room made with temporary wooden boards, he found the unconscious Guo Junyu, along with three other kids of similar age—two boys and a girl. "Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu?" Fang Jueyu shook him, but he didn't respond. "Master, he seems to have inhaled some chemical. It shouldn't be a big problem, just needs hospital care or use 'Biological Current' to wake him up for better results!" "Gu Yi, they seem unconscious. Can you wake them up?" Fang Jueyu recalled how using the 'Biological Current' once almost exhausted him completely, and he doubted he could wake several unconscious kids without collapsing. Luckily, with Gu Yi here, this small affair should be a piece of cake for him, right? "Well, young master, my biological current is a bit different from the ordinary. It might cause irreversible harm to them." "If that's the case, then forget it. Better to have them treated at the hospital. It'd be troublesome if they wake up crying for their parents." He immediately called Guo Xinyu to assure her. Hearing the news, Yao Yefang, who was on the verge of breaking down, burst into tears, while Guo Shu let out a long sigh of relief. "It's a bit complicated; there are other kids here too. I'll handle this, and you can come to the hospital later!" Fang Jueyu instructed. ```
