Chapter 624 - 622: Wan Qi Takes Action
Meanwhile, on a rugged little path, an old woman and a young woman were slowly making their way forward. These were Jiang Yufan and her grandmother, Wan Qi.
This time, they were heading to the Earth Dragon to rescue someone.
Although Wan Qi was already sixty-five years old, since she had entered the Profound Dao early, her appearance was somewhat preserved, and now she looked like a middle-aged woman around forty.
She was originally a beauty when she was young, somewhat resembling Jiang Yufan, so when the two walked together, they looked quite like sisters.
"Grandma, let’s hurry up. I’m afraid something might happen to him if we’re late."
Jiang Yufan was preoccupied, feeling it was a bit inappropriate to talk to her grandmother like this, but with a life at stake, and Chen Tianlong having been captured for a day and a night already, if anything really happened, it would be over.
"You little girl, seeing a man makes you completely forget this old grandma, doesn’t it? Believe it or not, I won’t rescue him." Wan Qi intentionally frightened Jiang Yufan.
"Ah? No, don’t... then I won’t rush you anymore. Let’s take our time, but you must save Chen Tianlong." Jiang Yufan was a bit flustered, directly blurting out Chen Tianlong’s name.
"Aha, so his name is Chen Tianlong." Wan Qi covered her mouth, laughing, "But, it’s a nice name, very endearing. I wonder if he’s handsome?"
Wan Qi in her younger days had been a sucker for good looks, blushing upon seeing handsome men.
That’s why she fell for Ye Feng. At that time, Ye Feng was also elegant and handsome, and the two attractive young people got together, lived for more than a decade, and then it was that disaster that destroyed their home.
"Oh, of course he’s handsome."
Jiang Yufan, trying to win her grandmother’s trust, didn’t care whether Chen Tianlong was handsome or not, but he did seem quite handsome; now thinking back, she couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.
"Oh, handsome is good. If he wasn’t, I wouldn’t rescue him, haha."
Wan Qi was a woman who liked to joke around. When there was no disaster, she was the family’s comedian. Her character was a bit like Lu Xiaoyu, always playful and carefree.
"..." Jiang Yufan was speechless for a moment, but since Wan Qi was going to save Chen Tianlong, she didn’t want to say much. At this moment, Wan Qi saw through Jiang Yufan’s thoughts and directly said, "Okay, Yufan, come over and hold onto me."
"Ah? Grandma, what are you doing, why should I hold onto you?"
Jiang Yufan didn’t react in time, thinking Wan Qi wanted to hug her, which made her a bit embarrassed, her cheeks slightly red.
"Don’t you want to get to Earth Dragon quickly? Walking like this would take another hour. If you don’t want to hurry, we can continue to dawdle." Wan Qi said, secretly delighted.
"Oh, alright then."
Jiang Yufan knew her grandmother’s capabilities. Since she said so, she must have her own ways. Thus, she gradually walked over and gently embraced her grandmother, saying, "Alright."
"Are you sure? Just holding like this is fine. Don’t regret it later." Wan Qi grinned mischievously, "Hugging other men so tightly, but lightly with grandma, sigh..."
Saying this, Wan Qi activated her Heart Method and began using Lightweight Skill, zooming out in a flash, startling Jiang Yufan so much she quickly held Wan Qi tightly, saying with lingering fear, "Grandma, you naughty one, running so fast without a heads-up, scared me to death."
"Hehe, didn’t I tell you to hold tight? It’s not my fault you didn’t listen."
Wan Qi couldn’t stop laughing; teasing her granddaughter had become a major joy in her life. Otherwise, with her husband gone for so many years and living a dull life, it would really be hard to endure.
"Hmph, grandma, you naughty one," Jiang Yufan pouted.
Wan Qi smiled bitterly, continuing to speed ahead. A high-level expert in the Profound Dao indeed stood out. Although it wasn’t the kind of Lightweight Skill where one could walk on rooftops seen in martial arts novels, her running speed on the ground was exceptionally fast.
Like driving a car, this speed must be around sixty or seventy kilometers per hour.
Zhao Bing and Director Qu’s team apparently arrived at Earth Dragon before them.
Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong and Zhang Yufei had already prepared for the moment when the team rushed in; they definitely needed to guide them to seize the warehouse first, everything else was manageable.
Ten minutes earlier, within Earth Dragon.
Xue Kong felt something was off today, a vague sense of unease as if something major was about to happen, so he took Hu Fei, Peng Wanli, and others to check the factory.
"Where’s Liu Qi? Why haven’t I seen him?" Xue Kong, ever cautious, noticed upon entering the factory that among these people, Liu Qi was missing.
"Uh... he seems to have a friend visiting, went out for drinks."
Hu Fei said awkwardly. As the leader of Earth Dragon, no matter who it was, this wasn’t the time to be coming and going carelessly.
"What? Drinking, at this time going to drink of all things? Does he know we captured the police’s mole, and they must be aware now? Going out at this critical juncture, does he want to cause trouble?"
Xue Kong was visibly frustrated. Why were these Earth Dragon kids so foolish, and why the Gang Leader let them lead this place was baffling.
"Otherwise, we’ll call him back immediately." Hu Fei, knowing he had already angered Xue Kong, quickly tried to salvage the situation.
Even before Xue Kong agreed, Hu Fei took out his phone and dialed. But suddenly he realized that the signal here had been blocked by their technician and needed to be turned off first. So Hu Fei redirected his call to the Earth Dragon’s technician.
"Xiao Hang, turn off the signal jamming, I need to call Liu Qi, mm, right away." After speaking for a while, Hu Fei hung up and, from his notes, found Liu Qi’s number again, pressing the dial.
In the room where Zhang Yufei was held.
Zhang Yufei felt a little uneasy, constantly waiting for a signal from outside or Chen Tianlong to come for her. Anyway, she was sticking to the plan, lying low for the time being.
"You are my little apple, no love is ever too much for you..."
Suddenly a phone rang, startling Zhang Yufei, but thinking about it, she had no phone, so what was the deal?
Listening closely, it came from the small room, so she immediately went in to see, and it turned out to be Liu Qi, lying there sleeping soundly.
Afraid the phone would wake Liu Qi, Zhang Yufei picked it up and pressed mute.
"Damn, what’s this guy doing, not even answering the phone." Hu Fei was a bit anxious. With Master Xue here complaining, he needed an explanation, yet Liu Qi was out fooling around.
Xue Kong was speechless for a moment, but then realized, if Hu Fei could call Liu Qi outside, that meant others could also reach the outside world.
If there’s another mole, using this chance to communicate with the outside, wouldn’t that be trouble?
Thinking of this, Xue Kong hurriedly cursed, "You idiot, do you realize, you just gave the mole inside a chance by telling the technician to disable the signal block? Get the technician to turn it back on, quickly."
