Ye Dabao really wanted to slap himself.
“Ye Qiu’s so rich, why would he fight me for the family fortune?”
In the next moment, Ye Dabao changed his mind.
“Ye Qiu must be tricking me, who in this world doesn’t want more money?”
“Like my dad, already the richest man with billions, isn’t he still hustling to make more?”
“Human greed is endless, Ye Qiu’s no saint, how could he not be greedy?”
Unaware of Ye Dabao’s thoughts, Ye Qiu pressed on, “What’s this about super soldiers?”
“What super soldiers?” Ye Dabao looked baffled.
“At this point, you’re still not telling the truth? Do you want to die?” A chilling aura of menace radiated from Ye Qiu.
Ye Dabao flinched, quickly saying, “I swear I don’t know what super soldiers are.”
“Ye Qiu, you have to believe me.”
“I’m not lying.”
Ye Qiu, observing Ye Dabao’s expression, saw no signs of deception and said, “When I went to rescue Sister Lin, I ran into a few super soldiers.”
“To put it simply, super soldiers are people modified by genetic drugs.”
“Their bodies are incredibly tough, immune to blades and bullets, a hundred elite special forces wouldn’t stand a chance.”
“You’re the mastermind behind Sister Lin’s kidnapping, and you’re telling me you don’t know?”
Ye Dabao suddenly recalled something, “I get it.”
“Brother Liang was worried Huang Ran might fail, so he got someone to help.”
“The super soldiers must be from that person.”
Ye Qiu immediately asked, “Have you met this person? What do they look like?”
Ye Dabao said, “Brother Liang contacted him via video, he wore a black mask, I couldn’t see his face, but…”
“But what?” Ye Qiu pressed.
Ye Dabao said, “That guy gave me a familiar feeling, like I’d seen him before, but I can’t place where.”
“Damn it!” Ye Qiu cursed.
He should’ve spared Liang Wenyue’s life, it might’ve led to the person controlling the super soldiers.
Super soldiers were too dangerous, if they harmed society, they’d cause massive trouble.
And from this encounter, Ye Qiu noticed the super soldiers had been upgraded.
If they weren’t eradicated soon, they’d only grow more terrifying.
Plus, the person commanding them was clearly Ye Qiu’s enemy.
Ye Qiu had faced super soldiers multiple times, each time they were out to kill him.
He wasn’t afraid, but their relentless attacks were getting annoying.
“Any other leads?” Ye Qiu asked.
Ye Dabao shook his head, “Brother Liang dealt with that guy, I don’t know him… How about we try contacting him?”
Ye Qiu perked up, “You can reach him?”
“Yeah, he’s in Brother Liang’s WeChat contacts,” Ye Dabao said.
Ye Qiu said, “But I already destroyed Liang Wenyue’s body.”
“Ye Qiu, look at this,” Ye Dabao pulled a phone from his pocket.
Ye Qiu was stunned, “Liang Wenyue’s phone?”
“Yeah,” Ye Dabao grinned, “Brother Liang was glued to his phone, ignoring the girls, so I snatched it to hold onto for him.”
“Here, Ye Qiu.”
Ye Dabao handed Liang Wenyue’s phone to Ye Qiu.
Instead of taking it, Ye Qiu slapped Ye Dabao’s forehead, scolding, “Who taught you to call me by my name? Where’s your manners? No respect for your elders!”
Ye Dabao whined pitifully, “Big Bro~”
Smack!
Another slap to his forehead, Ye Qiu snapped, “I don’t have a brother as dumb as you.”
Ye Dabao looked even more aggrieved.
“Find that guy, video call him,” Ye Qiu ordered.
Ye Dabao quickly unlocked Liang Wenyue’s phone, found the contact on WeChat, and started a video call.
It connected soon.
A figure in a pitch-black mask appeared on screen.
The moment they saw Ye Qiu, the masked person’s pupils shrank slightly.
“I take it you’re no stranger to me?” Ye Qiu grinned.
“Ye Qiu, you’ve got some luck, still not dead,” the masked person’s voice was hoarse, clearly altered.
Ye Qiu laughed, “I’m blessed with great fortune, not dying anytime soon. Shame your super soldiers got taken out by me, though.”
“And that base in the northwest, yours too, right?”
“Must’ve taken a lot of effort to build, such a pity it’s gone.”
Fury flashed in the masked person’s eyes, “Ye Qiu, don’t get cocky, I’ll kill you eventually.”
Ye Qiu laughed loudly, “You’re not even in China, how’re you gonna kill me?”
“I may not be in China, but I have ways to get you…” The masked person stopped, glaring at Ye Qiu, “You’re fishing for information?”
“You only just noticed? How dim,” Ye Qiu smirked, “I already know who you are.”
“I suspected you before, and it really is you.”
“Should’ve finished you off back then.”
The masked person said coldly, “So what if you know my identity? I’m across the ocean, you can’t find me.”
“Not necessarily, don’t forget I’m with Hades Hall,” Ye Qiu smiled, “Our spies are all over the world.”
“I’ll have them investigate you.”
“Just wait, once I’m done here, I’ll head across the ocean and take your head.”
Ye Qiu sighed, “Back then, you lived so freely, but now? Hiding across the ocean, far from home, must feel awful, huh?”
“Look at you, too scared to show your face, like a stray dog…”
“Shut up!” the masked person roared, “Ye Qiu, don’t get smug.”
“One battle doesn’t decide everything, I’m not dead, I still have a chance to turn things around.”
“Just wait, your days are numbered.”
“Maybe I won’t even need to lift a finger.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed, catching a deeper meaning in the words.
Could it be the Forbidden City’s people were about to emerge?
“Ye Qiu, enjoy your last days, your good times are running out.”
Click!
The call ended.
Ye Dabao asked, “Bro, you figured out who that guy is?”
Ye Qiu nodded.
He’d identified the masked person.
Ye Dabao said nervously, “Bro, I helped you out big time, can you cut me some slack?”
“I swear I won’t spill your secrets.”
“Please spare me, we’re family…”
“Who the hell’s family with you!” Ye Qiu cut him off, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
