Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Wrathful BeautiesYe Xing was not clear about the relationship between Tang Wenrou and Fang Bai, nor was he interested in knowing. His greater concern was still the ins and outs of his daughter’s kidnapping. The Ye Family was a powerful clan in Huaxia, and Ye Wumei’s kidnapping was equivalent to someone blatantly provoking the Ye Family. If the Ye Family did not retaliate, they would certainly be ridiculed for their incapability. "Fang Bai, I’d like to understand more about Wumei’s kidnapping to find the mastermind behind this. Can we talk about it in detail?" Ye Xing glanced at his daughter who was still crying and said with a wry smile, "I had planned to talk to Wumei about it, but she’s in tears and probably can’t speak clearly at the moment..." "Of course, that’s no problem." Then, Fang Bai recounted the whole experience of taking the Lightning Mink from Yanjing, tracking down to that island to rescue Ye Wumei, and then the treacherous journey back. Fang Bai kept his story brief and to the point, so some parts sounded thrilling but were far from the true heart-stopping scenes that had occurred. Especially the part where their small yacht was destroyed by the enemy’s portable missile and he had to breathe for Ye Wumei by pressing his lips against hers while underwater, Fang Bai deliberately skipped over. The situation was urgent at the time, and if he hadn’t mouth-to-mouth resuscitated Ye Wumei, she might have died, but who knows what Ye Xing, as Wumei’s father, would think if he knew about it? Thus, Fang Bai decided it was better not to mention that incident to avoid future awkwardness when they met. Fang Bai wasn’t worried that Ye Wumei would leak this part of the story, as she was a girl with an even more delicate and tender face, likely too embarrassed to tell others and would probably keep it to herself forever. And of course, even if Ye Wumei told her parents about the incident, Fang Bai was not at all worried. Fang Bai believed that Ye Xing would understand that his actions were not to take advantage of his daughter, but to save her life. He wouldn’t be angry but should be thankful to Fang Bai. From Fang Bai’s words, both Ye Xing and Tang Wenrou detected some inconsistencies, such as Ye Xing knowing that his daughter couldn’t swim and wouldn’t have been able to dive underwater without Fang Bai’s help... However, neither Ye Xing nor Tang Wenrou cared about those details; they were more focused on the kidnappers, noting with concern that the kidnappers even had portable missiles, indicating they were likely a large organized crime group with discipline. Through this incident, Ye Xing gained further understanding of Fang Bai’s strength. Although Fang Bai didn’t reveal his specific realm of ability, Ye Xing could surmise that he too was a Profound Level Martial Artist, and a significantly stronger one compared to himself, a beginner at the Profound Level. "Speaking of those kidnappers, I just remembered something..." After taking a sip of tea, Fang Bai said, "Tonight, when Wumei and I went out for a late-night snack, we were attacked by two women whose target also appeared to be Wumei. And their attire was exactly the same as the eight kidnappers on the island..." Ye Xing abruptly stood up and asked loudly, "Where are those two women?" Fang Bai replied, "After I subdued the two women, they committed suicide by taking poison. Their bodies are probably with the local police. Mr. Ye, if you are interested, you could visit the police to have a look. Perhaps some clues can be found..." Ye Xing nodded, advised his wife and daughter briefly, and immediately took a group of people, along with Tang Wenrou, out of the hotel to the local police station to learn about the situation. After Sun Lin and her daughter cried together for a while, she said some comforting words and then took her daughter’s hand to thank Fang Bai before the mother and daughter headed to the adjacent room to rest. The next morning, after having breakfast with Ye Wumei and Sun Lin, Fang Bai was talking with them when Ye Xing and a group of people, including Tang Wenrou, returned to the hotel from the police station. "The mastermind behind the scenes has been found!" Upon seeing his wife, daughter, and Fang Bai, Ye Xing clenched his fists, his face grave as he said solemnly, "On the left arm of the two deceased women, there was a tattoo of a long-haired woman holding up a flame, and on their right arms were engraved the red characters ’Lichun’ and ’Yushui’..." "What does this signify?" Fang Bai asked with a frown. "Have you ever heard of the organization ’Wrathful Beauties’?" Tang Wenrou interjected. "’Wrathful Beauties’?" Fang Bai shook his head and said, "I haven’t heard of it. But from the name, it seems to be an organization dominated by women..." "Exactly!" Tang Wenrou’s expression also turned somewhat grim as she continued, "Wrathful Beauties is a large international crime syndicate whose core members are all women. This organization is involved in almost every kind of nefarious activity, yet they operate extremely covertly, causing headaches to governments worldwide..." As she said this, she seemed to recall something else and added, "The formidable aspect of ’Wrathful Beauties’ is that it has twenty-four assassins named after solar terms, and all those assassins are Profound Level Martial Artists." Fang Bai nodded and said, "The two women who died last night were both at the initial stage of the Profound Level." Tang Wenrou said, "Their codenames were ’Lichun’ and ’Yushui’. If my deduction is correct, their strength should be the weakest among the twenty-four assassins of ’Wrathful Beauties’." Ye Xing’s pupils contracted slightly as he furrowed his brows deeply and said with great worry, "If the weakest are at the initial stage of the Profound Level, doesn’t that mean the strongest could be at the Earth Level or Heaven Level?" Although Sun Lin was not a Martial Artist, having lived with her husband for many years, she had been exposed to the martial world and knew how martial artists were classified. Hearing this, her face turned pale as she looked at her husband and asked with a trembling voice, "Our Ye Family has never provoked this organization, why would they target Wumei at every turn?" After pondering for a moment, Ye Xing replied, "Although the Ye Family hasn’t provoked ’Wrathful Beauties’, we have quite a few enemies. It’s not impossible that someone has paid to hire the assassins of ’Wrathful Beauties’ to target us! Such extreme organizations act once they’ve received money, never questioning the morality or validity of their deeds." Sun Lin asked, "What do we do then? Do members of our Ye Family need to be constantly on guard against attacks and ambushes every time we go out?" Ye Xing gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this. I want to see who it is that’s scheming against our Ye Family behind our backs. And what unspeakable motives they have!" Saying this, he turned to Ye Wumei and instructed, "Wumei, cancel all your upcoming concerts. It’s best not to go out until we get to the bottom of this." Ye Wumei glanced at Fang Bai and said, "I don’t mind canceling the concerts. But... But..." "But what?" Ye Xing glared at his daughter and commanded sternly, "Be good and obey.
