49 Atrocity (1/2)

Ye Xiong pulled her behind his back while simultaneously grabbing hold of the enemy who was wielding the knife's hand and giving it a powerful twist.

All they heard was a crack. The hand was broken and the knife fell to the ground.

Luo Weiwei panted loudly. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest. At that moment, she had believed she was about to die. In the entire time she had been a police officer, this was the closest to death she had ever been. Hence, no matter how courageous she was, she could not help being stunned.

”I've saved your life. About the kiss earlier, let's just forget about it.” Ye Xiong smiled.

What came next was a large ruckus. By the time Luo Weiwei came to her senses, there were already seven-to-eight men unconscious on the ground.

This guy was way too good at fighting!

Ye Xiong took out the phone he had taken from the guard earlier and made another call. Soon, he heard a ringtone coming from the room next door.

The two looked at each other and stood on either side of the door.

Then, without any warning, Ye Xiong kicked the door open while Luo Weiwei charged in the room, aiming down her gun's sights.

Unfortunately, there was nobody inside the room.

A phone rang endlessly on the table. It was a call from Ye Xiong.

Luo Weiwei looked around, confirming the room was empty then walked towards the table, intending to pick up the phone.

Ye Xiong frowned as a sense of unease brew within him.

This unease had been present ever since he entered the bar.

As the one who stood at the pinnacle of Dragon Soul, Ye Xiong had gone through countless life or death situations and yet, he had always been able to escape death's grasp. It was all thanks to his incredibly powerful instinct.

This instinct had nothing to do with his strength but was instead something he had nurtured through countless encounters with near-death situations.

He kept staring out of the windows.

Before long, Ye Xiong saw a figure flashing by behind a pillar in the opposite building.

”Oh no!”

Ye Xiong charged forward, tackling Luo Weiwei down to the floor before rolling to the side of the sofa.

Then, there was a loud bang. The phone on the table had exploded. It was so powerful that the pair, along with the sofa, were flung to the wall.

Luo Weiwei was, once again, dumbfounded. Ye Xiong had already scrambled out and jumped from the first-floor window by the time Luo Weiwei came to her senses.

Ye Xiong had never been this furious in his entire life. Someone had dared to set him up and tried to kill him. He must have his revenge.

The phone had been triggered remotely and had an effective range of two hundred meters. In order to avoid any failures, it was best to remain within fifty meters. Before the explosion, Ye Xiong had seen a figure hiding behind a pillar in the opposite building. It was very likely that this person was the one who had detonated the bomb.

Luo Weiwei headed to the window and was about to jump down. However, she stopped after realizing how high up she was.

”That guy is insane. He's even willing to jump from such a height, is he still human?” Luo Weiwei patted her large chest, turned around, and used the staircase instead.

Opposite of the bar was a commercial building. Currently, it was lunchtime and the place was filled with people.

Due to the force of the explosion, it had attracted a lot of attention. A crowd had gathered, staring at the wreckage from a distance and pointing at it.

Ye Xiong slowed down, watching every man that exited the commercial building.

Judging by the speed of Ye Xiong's arrival, the killer must still be inside the commercial building as he would not have left so quickly. Since there was only one exit, the enemy would most likely make his escape here.

An endless amount of people were trying to leave the building, and Ye Xiong was suspicious of all of them. Although he only caught a glimpse of the enemy, he already had an estimate of the enemy's height.

Countless people brushed past him when, suddenly, Ye Xiong made his move.

Without wasting a second, he grabbed an old man, who seemed to be in his fifties, firmly.

The old man was shocked as he had not expected Ye Xiong would be able to recognize him. Before he could retaliate, Ye Xiong already had him on the floor. Ye Xiong pulled his wig and fake mustache off, and was greeted with a familiar face. It was Yan Li.

”Trying to blow me up means you're still inexperienced.” Ye Xiong slapped him repeatedly.
