CHAPTER 467: CHAPTER 466 DISCOVERY (4/4)

"Killed just like that?" Ye Xin’s eyes flickered with a red glow, staring at Shangyao and said, "Say it to me again!"

Master Ye saw the situation and quickly pulled Ye Xin back, then grinned at Shangyao and the others, "Come on, come on! Let’s not talk about this here, let’s go inside and talk. We have some top-grade Dahongpao tea to try!"

"No need!" Shangyao waved his hand dismissively, showing no interest in the Dahongpao tea, "Tell us where Yang Chen is? We need to take him back to the sect for Third Martial Uncle to handle!"

"Impossible!" Ye Xin replied directly, "Who says you can just handle him as you wish? Who gave you the authority? Yang Chen acted purely in self-defense! Moreover, Shangyao is only injured, not dead. Why should Yang Chen be punished? It was purely a matter of self-defense! Yang Chen’s arm was broken, who will seek justice for him?"

Shangyao squinted his eyes and stared at Ye Xin, "I already said it! Junior Sister, don’t waste your time on someone unworthy; ants will always be ants. When you walk on the street, do you pay for stepping on ants?"

"Ants?" Ye Xin sneered, staring at Shangyao, "Then let me make it clear today: as long as I’m here, you won’t lay a finger on Yang Chen!"

Ye Xin originally thought the sect people were just there to take her back, but unexpectedly, they demanded to find Yang Chen upon arrival. She hadn’t foreseen this but was glad she had already told Yang Chen to leave.

"Junior Sister!" Shangyao glared at Ye Xin, "Don’t force my hand!"

"Force you?" Ye Xin stared defiantly at Shangyao, "If anyone’s forcing, it’s you forcing me!"

"Believe it or not, I’ll arrest you now and take you back to the sect!" Shangyao shouted angrily.

This was the first time and the first person daring to speak to him like this. The women in the sect always went east when he said east, daring not to resist his words.

Unlike Ye Xin, who from the start was convicting him, constantly opposing him, without caring if these junior brothers would spare his dignity.

Mind you, he was the Senior Brother!

"Then go ahead!" Ye Xin showed no fear, "I was just about to go back to the sect to discuss this matter with the elders. We are all people of Flame Country; is someone truly more noble than the others?"

"You!" Shangyao was furious, "You are simply asking for trouble!"

Ye Xin snorted coldly, her expression showing she was impervious to persuasion.

Master Ye looked helplessly at both sides, unable to get a word in edgewise.

Because the Shangqing Sect is completely independent and not under organizational control. Even the top leaders can’t command them directly, only request their assistance at critical moments.

Now Master Ye stood there like an ordinary elder, without any authority.

...

Backwoods of the lake.

Yang Chen examined the surroundings with a grim face.

However, he found no clues.

Many people had been here before; he couldn’t tell which tracks belonged to Qin Zhiyuan.

Moreover, Yang Chen saw no signs of a fierce battle on the scene.

Immediately, Yang Chen turned to Sun Yue and asked, "Are you sure? The dean came here?"

Sun Yue said, "I’m not sure exactly where, but they did come here."

"Are you certain?" Yang Chen stared intently at Sun Yue, "As a professional, is this how careless you are?"

Sun Yue lowered her head in shame, "I didn’t know anything would happen..."

"In any environment!" Yang Chen reprimanded, "Problems can arise in any situation! As an agent, how can you be so careless and reckless!"

Sun Yue shivered at Yang Chen’s roar, which was terrifying, like a lion suddenly roaring in her ear, ready to devour her.

"Let’s go!" Yang Chen shouted, "Take me to find Elder Zhuo!"

"Find Elder Zhuo?" Sun Yue was stunned and quickly caught up with Yang Chen, who was walking ahead, "Why find Elder Zhuo? Isn’t the current goal to find Elder Qin?"

Yang Chen didn’t respond, continuing to walk forward before getting into a car.

At this moment, Sun Yue’s phone rang.

Sun Yue pulled out her phone, glanced at it, and quickly answered.

Listening to the voice on the other end of the line, Sun Yue nodded hastily and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I got it! Understood!"

After hanging up, Sun Yue immediately got in the car and said to Yang Chen, "Quick, head to the Ningjing Expressway! The car is now on the highway, and we’ve set up a roadblock at the exit while deploying manpower to chase them!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen frowned and stared at Sun Yue, asking, "You mean someone kidnapped the dean and headed to Ningchuan?"

"Yes!" Sun Yue replied anxiously, "Let’s get moving! The old man is so aged, he can’t withstand such torment!"

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment.

Seeing Yang Chen hesitate, Sun Yue hurriedly urged, "Hurry, otherwise we’ll be too late! The on-ramp is already closed; soon we won’t even pass through!"

What she had to do now was to prevent Yang Chen from having any chance to think. Absolutely no chance should be given.

Because she knew Yang Chen’s ability to think and investigate was terrifying; he could track down any clue.

Immediately, Yang Chen started the car and raced off with full throttle.

Seeing Yang Chen start off so quickly, Sun Yue couldn’t help but sigh quietly in relief.

Yang Chen drove fast and didn’t slow down even when he hit the main road, speeding all the way.

However, Sun Yue gradually realized something was wrong and exclaimed with surprise, "This is not right! We’re supposed to go to the highway entrance, but where are you going? You’re heading in the opposite direction!"

Yang Chen ignored her and continued driving.

Soon, Sun Yue discovered Yang Chen’s destination.

He was heading to the man-made sea!

Yang Chen was fast and soon reached the entrance to the artificial sea.

"Documents!" the guard at the entrance demanded.

Yang Chen looked at Sun Yue.

Sun Yue had no choice but to show her credentials, and the guard let them through.

Once inside, Sun Yue hurriedly said, "Yang Chen! Don’t you care about Elder Qin’s life at all? The criminals are racing down the highway with Elder Qin right now, very likely engaged in a fierce chase with our staff! Aren’t you worried at all? Aren’t you afraid Elder Qin could get hurt?"

Yang Chen completely ignored Sun Yue and directly drove to Elder Zhuo’s compound.

Then he got out of the car and walked into the courtyard.

Seeing Yang Chen, Elder Zhuo immediately stood up and said, "Xiaochen, why are you here?"

Seeing Yang Chen’s stern expression, Elder Zhuo was puzzled, sensing something bad might happen.

Yang Chen approached Elder Zhuo and asked, "When did the dean leave?"

"About half an hour ago, not long, why?" Elder Zhuo asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, Yang Chen instantly understood, turned around, and stared at Sun Yue, asking, "Speak! Why did you lie to me?"
