Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Ye Family Ye Xing"Fang Bai, what... what’s happening?" As a martial artist, Ye Wumei could certainly tell that the two women in black were attacking Fang Bai with needle-like objects. Yet, she couldn’t fathom why they would attack Fang Bai, whom they didn’t appear to know. "Have you noticed that their clothes seem familiar?" Fang Bai said to Ye Wumei. Upon hearing this, Ye Wumei’s eyes widened as she scrutinized the two women from head to toe, then suddenly exclaimed, "You mean... they’re in league with the kidnappers?" "Very likely." "But why would they attack you instead of me?" "Because I’m stronger than you. They need to take me down first so they can kidnap you again!" "But... how would they know we’ve already returned to land and are eating here?" "Maybe they have a vast intelligence network behind them, with people in every city, capable of providing timely information and intelligence." "This... this is too terrifying..." "Not only are they terrifying, but they are also extremely vicious..." Fang Bai looked down at the black needles that had fallen from the hands of the two women in black and frowned, "These two needles are coated with a potent poison. Just a tiny puncture could quickly result in death by poisoning... If it were anyone else, they’d be dead by now." "Such ruthless lunatics!" Ye Wumei, infuriated, stepped towards the shorter black-clad woman and glared at her fiercely before asking loudly, "Just who are you?" Despite being at a disadvantage, the shorter woman in black showed no fear and sneered, "Ye Wumei, don’t bother. I won’t tell you anything." Then, she said to Fang Bai, "Don’t think you’re out of danger just because you’ve caught us. Heh, let’s all go to hell together!" A resolute look crossed her eyes as she squeezed her handbag firmly with her hand. Fang Bai immediately sensed an extreme threat approaching, his expression changed, and he suddenly kicked the handbag out of the shorter woman’s hands. At the same time, Fang Bai let go of the taller woman in black, grabbed Ye Wumei’s hand, and swiftly dashed into the barbecue restaurant for cover. Boom—— The handbag traced a parabola in the air, flying toward the wide street. Before it even hit the ground, an earth-shattering explosion sounded. Ye Wumei, taking cover in the barbecue restaurant, watched the street turn into a chaotic mess, realizing that the seemingly innocuous handbag didn’t contain feminine items but a high-powered explosive. Fortuitously, it was the middle of the night and the streets were devoid of pedestrians or traffic; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Still, several diners outside the restaurant were affected by the blast wave, resulting in numerous light injuries. After the explosion, the area around the barbecue restaurant was in disarray, with people shouting, crying, and calling emergency services... The two women in black lay motionless on the ground. Fang Bai emerged from the barbecue restaurant, approached the two women, and as he crouched to inspect them, he saw a trickle of black blood at the corner of their mouths—they were dead. "They’re dead?" Ye Wumei’s astonished voice came from behind. Fang Bai stood up, sighed, and nodded, "Suicide by poison... the poison was in their mouths. Realizing they couldn’t escape, they chose to kill themselves... Who exactly is backing them?" Minutes later, the sound of police sirens and ambulances rang out simultaneously. "Let’s head back to the hotel; otherwise, when the police start asking questions, there will be more trouble." Fang Bai took Ye Wumei’s hand and, amidst the chaos, quietly slipped away. Half an hour later, the two returned to their five-star hotel and waited comfortably for the Ye Family members and Tang Wenrou’s arrival. By 3 o’clock in the early morning, Tang Wenrou and Ye Xing arrived in Qingdao almost at the same time and met in the five-star hotel where Fang Bai and Ye Wumei were staying. Accompanying Tang Wenrou was a group of core team members from the police station. With Ye Xing came his wife Sun Lin, as well as dozens of Ye Family experts and bodyguards, forming a mighty entourage. Upon meeting, Ye Wumei and her mother Sun Lin burst into tears, while Tang Wenrou walked up to Fang Bai to start a conversation with him. "Are you Fang Bai?" After consoling his wife and daughter, Ye Xing also approached Fang Bai and looked him up and down. Ye Xing might be fifty years old this year, but he led a life of privilege and took good care of himself, looking more like someone around forty-five. Ye Xing had a special identity, not only serving as the top official in Yuezhou but also being a Profound Level Martial Artist. As a high-ranking official and a Profound Level Expert of the Ancient Martial World, this dual identity imbued Ye Xing with an imposing aura of superiority wherever he went. Unlike other Martial Artists who preferred to keep a low profile, Ye Xing did not deliberately conceal his authoritative and Martial Artist Aura because he needed to use these advantages to subdue or intimidate those potential adversaries, whether overt or covert. "I am Fang Bai." Fang Bai, having learned of Ye Xing’s identity from Ye Wumei’s prior disclosure, greeted him with a slight smile and a calm response. When he spoke, he looked straight into Ye Xing’s eyes—neither overbearing nor sycophantic, exuding an air of serene confidence. The aura deliberately released by Ye Xing didn’t pressure him at all. Ye Xing was slightly surprised. As a Martial Artist, he knew that in the secular Ancient Martial World, Profound Level Martial Artists were at the pinnacle, rarely meeting their match. Yet this young man named Fang Bai seemed unaffected by his aura, not showing the slightest hint of distress. This indicated that Fang Bai’s strength was no less than his own and might even be stronger. "I’m Ye Xing, Wen Rou’s father. Thank you for saving my daughter." Having gauged Fang Bai’s strength, Ye Xing inwardly marveled. He then retracted his aura and shook Fang Bai’s hand with a slight smile on his face. Fang Bai pointed towards Tang Wenrou and said, "Actually, you should thank Officer Tang. It was her words that moved me to act!" "Could it be that it wasn’t the reward money that moved you?" Tang Wenrou teased, the corners of her mouth carrying a faint smile. The kidnapping of Ye Wumei had put enormous pressure on the entire police force, including Tang Wenrou. Now that Ye Wumei had returned safely, the pressure weighing on the shoulders of Tang Wenrou, the head of the serious crimes unit, had suddenly lifted, making her feel much more relaxed. "Truth be told, money is important to me, but friends matter even more!" Fang Bai looked at Tang Wenrou and said earnestly, "When Star Ye was kidnapped, as your friend, I knew you were under a lot of pressure. So when you found me and asked if I was willing to help, I agreed without hesitation. Even without the reward money, I would have acted to relieve your stress." Hearing Fang Bai’s words, seeing the seriousness in his speech, Tang Wenrou felt a warmth in her heart. (Strongly asking for recommendation tickets!!! Seeking all kinds of support!!!)
