44: Chapter 43: Faster Than a Car!

Walking out of Bai Lan’s office, Ye Tian’s mind incessantly pondered over the matter of the Gu insects, and without realizing it, he had somehow made his way to the top floor.

“My body has gotten used to this routine,” Ye Tian said with a wry smile, and immediately headed straight for his office.

Just as he pushed the door open, suddenly a roar of anger and a flying folder came his way.

“I said I don’t want to be bothered right now!

Get out!”

Ye Tian quickly caught the folder and forced a smile as he stepped in, looking at Yun Xinyan, “Wife, what’s wrong?

Who’s upset you?

Just give me a few minutes and I’ll show them why flowers are so red.”

Yun Xinyan kept her head down, ignoring him, as if she hadn’t heard Ye Tian speak at all.

Ye Tian placed the folder on the desk and watched Yun Xinyan with amusement, clearing his throat and began to sing, “The sun winks at me, and the birds sing for me.

I’m a hardworking little imp who’s not at all clingy.

Don’t ask where I come from, or where I go next.

I’ll pick the prettiest flowers to present to my little princess.

Oops, nearly forgot.

The king orders me to patrol the mountain, I’ll take a tour around the mortal realm…”

Ye Tian’s singing wasn’t bad, but he didn’t sing seriously, adopting a bizarre foreign tune as he sang and danced, trying to be cute.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xinyan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, very delighted, rocking back and forth.

“Okay, okay, stop singing, you’re off-tune.

I really can’t handle you,” she protested.

Ye Tian chuckled, watching Yun Xinyan who couldn’t stop giggling, “Not mad anymore, wife?”

“Stop it,” Yun Xinyan rolled her eyes at Ye Tian, feeling truly happy inside.

She hadn’t expected Ye Tian to cheer her up in such a bizarre way, and was touched.

“Heh heh, how about a reward then, may I touch your chest?” Ye Tian said with a mischievous smile as he moved closer.

“Get lost!” Yun Xinyan placed her hand on Ye Tian’s forehead, her face full of disdain.

Imitating a sea turtle, Ye Tian flailed his limbs about, “Ouch, dare you not to press my head!

I want to duel with you!”

Seeing Ye Tian’s antics, Yun Xinyan laughed heartily, with white teeth showing in a joyous grin, looking just like a child.

After a while, once Ye Tian saw that Yun Xinyan was indeed cheered up, he too sat back in his original place, watching her with amusement, “What happened?

Who made you angry?”

Feeling the warmth from Ye Tian still caring about why she was angry, Yun Xinyan felt a silent flow of warmth in her heart.

Without hesitation, she then told Ye Tian what had happened that day.

A flash of anger crossed Ye Tian’s eyes as he thought of Yun Feng who evidently never learned his lesson.

He also thought of Du Shaoqing with disdain, but then it occurred to him that the last assassination attempt might well have been arranged by Du Shaoqing.

Seeing Yun Xinyan’s expression turn cold again as she thought of this, Ye Tian chuckled, “Alright, wife, no need to get angry.

Next time something like this happens, let me know in advance.

With me by your side, no one can bully you.”

“Who asked you to be by my side.

Humph.” Yun Xinyan knew Ye Tian meant well, but she huffed and feigned arrogance.

“Fine, I’m leaving!

Don’t try to stop me, I mean it, I’m really going, holding me back won’t work,” Ye Tian pretended like he was about to leave, looking utterly pitiable, making Yun Xinyan’s eyes squint with laughter, like beautiful crescents, extremely charming.

“Seriously, you’re not holding me back?”

“Why should I?

Off you go.”

“Nah, I’d better stay by my wife’s side,” Ye Tian sat back down, chuckling, which caused Yun Xinyan to chuckle in turn.

After enjoying some sweet time with Yun Xinyan, Ye Tian left since she had much work to do.

Understanding this, he didn’t linger longer than necessary.

Ye Tian, with nothing better to do, wandered aimlessly around, strolling about under the pretext of patrolling.

Before long, he arrived at the eighth floor.

Looking out the window, he wanted to enjoy the view and relax his mind.

However, the next moment, his expression changed dramatically!

Because he saw Liu Fei’er walking down the street not far from the building when suddenly a van stopped in front of her.

Several burly men jumped out, grabbed Liu Fei’er, and bundled her into the vehicle.

Liu Fei’er struggled but to no avail.

Passersby witnessed the scene but not a single one stepped forward to inquire, let alone call the police.

They all pretended as if they had seen nothing!

“Damn it!” Ye Tian roared in anger, immediately opened the window, and leapt out fiercely!

Whoosh!

As Ye Tian jumped, the rushing wind filled his ears, and the fierce breeze continuously buffeted him.

Onlookers who saw Ye Tian jumping were instantly shocked!

“Look!

Someone’s jumping off the building!

From the eighth floor!

Damn, that’s at least twenty meters high, isn’t it?

He won’t survive that fall!”

“Step back, don’t get hit by him!”

“Alas, people these days, so quick to die.

Don’t they know the body is a gift from their parents?”

…

However, just as everyone thought Ye Tian was going to crash to his death, he snorted coldly, leapt powerfully in mid-air, completing a 720-degree flip before landing in an instant!

Bang!

The intense impact caused a wave of air to rise, shaking the nearby cars.

However, everyone was stunned.

Because Ye Tian was standing upright!

And without uttering another word, he sprinted away, his speed so fast that not even cars could keep up!

“My goodness!

Jumping down from the eighth floor and landing on his feet, then sprinting like Usain Bolt?

Holy moly!

Is this even human?!” An old man was smoking, but the shock made him drop his cigarette, his face a picture of astonishment.

Or rather, everyone present was dumbfounded.

However, at that moment, Ye Tian did not pay them any attention, chasing after the distant van with terrifying speed.

Whoosh!

As Ye Tian ran past, a tall woman in a dress was suddenly struck dumb, starting to scream as the wind lifted her skirt, revealing her white underwear.

Everyone was terrified to discover a black shadow flickering at high speed, and the more pessimistic ones turned white as sheets, “Mutant zombies!

Zombies!

The world is ending!

Everyone run for it!”

“I’m running your grandpa!” Even Ye Tian couldn’t help but curse in anger.

Why were there so many idiots?

Finally, he caught up to the back of the van, and the hijackers inside were stunned.

The hijacker in the passenger seat rolled down the window to look back at Ye Tian, completely bewildered, “What speed is this kid at?

He’s so fast!

Why is he chasing us?

Did he find out something?”

“So what if he did?

Boss, we’re already doing eighty miles!” said the driver with a sneer, glancing at the rearview mirror.

The boss sneered and glimpsed back at Liu Fei’er, “That’s good, keep driving.

We finish our job and go have fun, find a few girls to play with.”

“You got it!” The driver sneered, stepping on the accelerator, and the van speeded up again!

However, it wasn’t long before the driver was shocked and stammered, “Boss, bad, bad news, he’s, he’s caught up?”

“Who?” The big brother looked puzzled as he glanced at the rearview mirror, only to be dumbstruck, because Ye Tian was now just a few steps behind them!

“Damn, how can just running be so fast?

Is he Bolt?” The boss turned his head to look at the driver, cursing angrily, “How the hell are you driving this thing?

Didn’t I tell you to speed up?”

“We’re already at a hundred and twenty!”

“What?!” The boss at the passenger seat looked at the speedometer in terror, a hundred and twenty!

The guy behind them…

Is he even human?

Meanwhile, outside the van, Ye Tian looked in coldly, catching the sight of the passenger seat boss sticking his head out, and with a snort, he suddenly leaped, kicking out his right leg and thudding it against the back door!

Bang!

The solid iron door, which seemed sturdy and impenetrable, was instantly dented by what appeared to be Ye Tian’s frail foot!

The boss took one look at Ye Tian and his eyes nearly bulged out.

Ye Tian, almost flying, didn’t even touch the ground; his lithe figure and icy gaze were like those of a king descending, making the boss feel incredibly insignificant in Ye Tian’s eyes!

“Hmph!”

As their eyes met, Ye Tian snorted coldly, sending shivers down the boss’s spine.

At the same time, with a roar from Ye Tian, he grabbed the dented door with one hand and the edge of the vehicle with the other, planted his feet on the ground, and, with a burst of strength, hurled the speeding van into the air, lodging it into the greenery on one side!

Bang!

The van crashed into the greenery, issuing a sizzle and plumes of white smoke.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The drivers around were stunned, and a Mercedes-Benz headed straight towards Ye Tian, too late even to hit the brakes.

But with a snort, Ye Tian’s feet shook and he shot out like an arrow from a bow, arriving in front of the van in an instant, his figure eerie and ghostly.

The hijackers inside panicked.

The boss reacted quickly, immediately pulling out a handgun from behind, opening the door, and firing a chilling shot at Ye Tian who had closed in!

Bang!

A terrifying gunshot echoed, filled with a chilling air.

Yet, Ye Tian was not the least bit afraid!

With a slight smirk on his lips and a mischievous smile on his face, he raised his palm, and the bullet that was shot at him was caught between his index and middle fingers, still smoking!

The boss was dumbfounded, and the hijackers ready to get out and deal with Ye Tian were also petrified, their actions frozen.

How do you fight an opponent like this?

Who can catch bullets so easily between their fingers!

“Get out!” Ye Tian commanded coldly, like a sovereign descending upon his domain.

His overbearing presence spread invisibly, stunning all the hijackers, making them feel infinitely small before Ye Tian!

The boss was about to come out in a daze but suddenly remembered something terrifying and roared, “Can’t get caught!”

After saying that, he grabbed something and put it in his mouth.

Ye Tian’s gaze turned icy, and he rushed over, but it was too late.

The boss’s face turned pale, he vomited foam, and his whole body went limp on the ground.

Ye Tian then dashed into the van, only to find all the other hijackers dead with foam dripping from their mouths.

With a fierce punch, he dented the side of the van.

Ye Tian had not expected the hijackers to carry poison for suicide!
