Chapter 20: Night Battle

  Night Fight

  As Phryne and Jester were about to lose their temper and recruit people to blow up the building, Fatadi intervened in a hurry. Fatadi carefully analyzed the situation: "Dear, you can't be impulsive. Who is that police officer? Is he an old enemy of Yi's? I think his subordinates must have known Yi's identity by now, so they should still be cautious and not dare to do anything to him. In my opinion, if we can use official means to solve the problem, it's better not to use certain violent methods."

  Fattalio was also cautious, he knew the ferocity of China's powerful departments, his boss had two or three batches of people who evaporated here, he didn't have the guts to do something here, if it were in South America those countries, he wouldn't need to consider the consequences, but for China which has been gradually becoming a leader in Asia over the past four years, he didn't have that kind of courage.

  Fiona rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel and started dialing the phone number of the British Consulate in Shanghai. A young man with a standard Oxford accent answered warmly, "Hello, how can I help you?"

  "Mr. Fothergill, the latest recipient of a British Empire knighthood, has just been brutally taken away by Chinese security personnel at Shanghai docks. You must find them and get him released immediately."

  The young man became tense and said quickly, "Your boss's name and the details of what happened." His left hand had already pressed the recording button on his office desk, and the sound of the conversation was simultaneously transmitted to the relevant personnel at the consulate. Several middle-aged men had begun to contact their superiors in China and informed the embassy. Fei quickly reported Yichen's name as well as the names of the import and export company and the steel mill.

  Half an hour later, a response came from within the UK: "Yi Chen? Good heavens, that Chinese man? Arrested on their own soil in China? Had he really committed a crime in China? But he is indeed our Sir..."

  Several ministers in the cabinet also got wind of this, and at a sensitive time they were very cautious about any stirrings. After tense consultations, the Minister of Finance reluctantly said: "Forget it, we are about to announce our plan to enter the euro system, at this critical juncture, taking the risk of offending China for a small lifelong baronetcy is not worth it."

  The Foreign Minister said helplessly, "Then, clear away all the relevant traces. That subordinate of Yi Dun did not notify the consulate, and the consulate did not receive any relevant information. It's just like that... God, he is a Chinese, and has no achievements that we know of, why can he get our medal?"

  Several ministers looked at each other and tacitly avoided this topic, starting to discuss the truly important national affairs.

  Chekhov yelled excitedly inside his villa in the London suburbs: "Comrades, we've taken her down, we've hijacked the entire British government... It's fantastic, look, look, they're joining the Euro system with a package deal, oh~~~~~, God, I'm more excited than ***, this damn network can't go any faster? Hurry up and download all the data for me... Damn it, hurry up, these are all money, money..."

  Chekhov yelled as he threw the Trojan horse he had written into the mainframe of the British Ministry of Finance. The several accomplices he had recruited downloaded tens of thousands of files and threw their favorite Trojans in.

  Cain brought a few subordinates to sit on the sofa in the back and drink beer, with a cold face that was frightening, and Chikov's crazy face basically formed a sharp contrast, which also seemed to confirm the difference between the two nationalities.

  Cain's phone rang, and he quickly picked it up. He basically changed his SIM card and phone every three days, so only a few people close to him knew his number. Feli said to him with a puffed face: "Kane, you are now in charge of everything at home. If something unexpected happens, you can handle it with full authority. I'm going to call Phil and Goll to China, the boss is in trouble."

  Cain furrowed his brow: "Fili, need me to find a few mercenaries to help? Cheap price, good skills too."

  "Fool, fool! The boss has been taken away by the police on this side. Unless you can hire an army to come." Fei quickly hung up the phone.

  "An army? Ha! You can hire an army in Africa for next to nothing. Alright, guys, you're on watch here with Chikov, I'm gonna go take care of some business with Mr. Phil and the others. The boss is having trouble, so it's best if you all lay low for a while."

  An hour later, Phil and Gol carried simple gifts and boarded a China Civil Aviation flight heading towards Shanghai.

  Yi Chen looked at the clear water and a steamed bun smaller than his fist in front of him with great helplessness, and asked with a bitter smile: "Is this my dinner after starving for a whole day?"

  The young man who brought the meal in nodded coldly and turned to walk into a gap that had risen from the ground. Yī Chén shouted loudly: "Fēi Lóng, you're really ruthless! No matter what conflicts we had before, you've already vented your anger, but now you're still treating me like this, it's not very decent!" Lóng Fēi gritted his teeth and glared at the team members nearby, saying viciously: "Do you suspect I'm taking revenge? Investigate, continue investigating, bring out all the photos from the entire database for comparison, hurry up!"

  An older member of the team quietly walked out and directly dialed Director Sun's hotline: "Director Sun, we have a situation here." In order to prevent one person in charge from having too much power, there were always one or several people in these special task forces who reported directly to their superiors, and these people, not even Long Fei himself knew they existed.

  "Son Kechang's slightly tense voice came through: 'What's the situation? Report the severity level.'"

  A team member whispered: "Captain Longfei insisted on arresting a passenger who got off the 'Duke of Windsor', Chinese descent, British passport, named Yichun, recently knighted by the UK. Captain Longfei's behavior towards him has violated discipline and has a tendency to mistreat prisoners."

  Sun Ke quickly pulled up the passenger information of the "Windsor Duke" from his computer, found Yi Chen, and looked at Yi Chen's scattered long hair, warm skin tone, and deep, starry eyes. Sun Ke suddenly associated with something, but before he could react, a subordinate burst in and said: "Boss, we're in big trouble! The head of the Russian trade delegation has lodged a protest against us. One of his partners was 'brutally' detained by us, and his senior assistant, who accompanied his partner to Shanghai, was beaten up by our people at the Shanghai dock... The letter of protest has been submitted to the higher-ups, and they are extremely dissatisfied."

  Sun Kechang's heart shrank and he asked nervously: "Who was the person who was arrested?"

  The person who came in smiled bitterly: "His name is Yi Chen, the name is a Chinese name, but on the information, he is an English nobleman. I'm afraid the British government will protest to us, and then we can be suspended for reflection."

  Sun Ke let out a long sigh, dialed a number: "Stop Long Fei's duties as the team leader, remove all his duties on the spot, and let Mr. Yi Chen go safely. Remember to handle it well, otherwise I won't take this blame for you." He slammed the phone down heavily.

  It's really frustrating, first there was a group of inexplicable old Taoists called Tianfeng Yiyang, and then the director told me that there were already some people of the same type working in the system for a long time, even Long Fei had been promoted to team leader, called Sun Kechang, this is depressing. And these weirdos are too troublesome, can't scold them, can't fine them, especially their casual displays make my scalp numb, how can I work like this?

  Sun Kezhong's order arrived in Shanghai, and Long Fei immediately lost his command over his team members. He was politely asked to leave the command room, with four former subordinates closely following him, supposedly to protect his safety. Long Fei was furious...

  Fei Li called the consulate again: "Excuse me, have you made representations to the relevant departments? My boss has been illegally detained for nine hours."

  The consulate's phone was answered by a girl, who asked unclearly: "Miss, what's wrong? Is your boss being detained? We haven't received any relevant information?"

  "Five hours ago, I called your phone and reported this message. How could you not receive the relevant information?"

  That girl said strangely: "Today is my shift all day, miss, you must have made a mistake, I really didn't receive your report, sorry, you must have made a mistake." After finishing speaking, she quickly hung up the phone.

  Fiona cursed loudly, her hand grasping the nearby vase, and a shocking shattering sound filled the air. The vase, water inside it, and flowers in the water all turned into tiny ice crystals that burst apart. Jester watched from the side with his scalp tingling; when this lady got angry, no one could stop her except for Yichun. Fiona's innate cold energy also suppressed Jester's firepower, so he didn't dare to talk to her more when she was in a rage.

  Carefully looking around, Fatadio was still in the next room reporting to the boss. Jester let out a sigh of relief and walked over, picked up a piece of silk embroidery from the tea table, wrapped up those ice crystal powder, and rushed into the drain.

  As soon as Jester came out of the bathroom, he saw Feli walking towards the door with a huff. Jester rushed over and opened his hands to stop her: "Feli, calm down, don't be impulsive. I also want to take down that damn big guy (Long Fei), but he's not easy to deal with. I gave him a heavy blow, but he didn't even react. Feli, calm down, we're facing the most mysterious country's people, who knows what kind of strange abilities they have? Don't forget how powerful Boss is himself... And don't make things that can't be taken back in the end... Calm down, for Boss' sake, calm down."

  Fiona bit her lip and said coldly, "I've waited for ten hours, now there's only one hour left. If I still don't get any news from the boss by then, I'll take out everyone I see around here."

  Jester burst into tears and rushed out the door to find Fattadio. He was also a guy who couldn't stay calm, fearing that the world would be in chaos if he didn't stir up trouble every day. But now he had to persuade Ferri, whose temper was even worse than his own. Jester felt an overwhelming urge to punch this hotel into ruins. Damn it, he was used to throwing punches rather than using his brain, and now he had to take charge of things when the boss wasn't around. A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside him.

  "Boss? Your protest letter has been sent over? That's good, that's great. Oh, and that special task force of theirs, that savage who is over two meters tall, must be dealt with properly. He almost punched me to death, what a rude guy! Boss, you have to take care of him."

  Fatadiou's boss was also somewhat dissatisfied: "I know, I know, Yichun is our friend. Even if he had done something wrong in the past, at least he didn't pose a threat to them now. To treat my man like this, I won't let that guy off easy. What's his name? I demand to deal with him directly."

  "His name?" Fatiao opened his mouth: "Don't know, boss."

  Jester heard Fattadio's words and didn't go in, but instead returned to the adjacent suite, staring tightly at Ferri, afraid that she would go out and cause trouble. But to be honest, Jester himself wanted to go out and cause trouble now.

  Yi Chen sat helplessly on the iron chair, humming a lively tune. It had been so long since he saw Long Fei, and he also sensed that something must have happened. The bowl of clear water and the steamed bun remained untouched, anyway his stomach wasn't very hungry yet, so he lazily didn't eat this obviously just-bought-from-the-street-stall steamed bun.

  A three-meter-high and two-meter-wide mirror surface slowly rose from the mirrored wall, and four or five people walked in with two middle-aged men who had a serious expression. They slightly bowed to Yī Chén and said apologetically: "Mr. Yī Chén, we're sorry, there was an error in our work, and we've brought you here by mistake. This is our fault, please forgive us." As they spoke, the two middle-aged men's faces flushed with heat. In over twenty years of working, such a mistake had never occurred, and this time it had caused such a big commotion, which could be said to be a huge joke. They deeply resented Lóng Fēi for his reckless behavior.

  Yi Chen must have thought so in his heart. It seems that the outside activities were successful, and the pressure received in this regard will not be small. Otherwise, how could he be so polite to himself?

  "Gentlemen, I'm terribly sorry, but I really can't recall what laws of China I've broken. Could you please tell me? Oh God, I was brought here early in the morning and it wasn't until evening that I got this...this stuff that's not even fit for a noble dog to eat. May I express some protest to your superiors?" Yichun thought to himself: "Damn it, I've done plenty of law-breaking things, but I'm sure I haven't broken any Chinese laws."

  The middle-aged man who led the way helplessly spread his hands: "Mr. Yi Chen, we are very sorry for the treatment you received, very sorry, and hope you can understand our difficulties... We..."

  "I'm a man of status and reputation in London, if my business partners back home were to find out about this trip to China, it would have a huge impact on my future dealings and damage my reputation greatly... Can you compensate me for these losses? The officers at Scotland Yard are all friends with me, we've always gotten along, but I never thought that as soon as I stepped off the boat in my home country, I'd be dragged away like this."

  Yi Chen intentionally or unintentionally pointed out some things, and deliberately elevated his own status a bit. However, it's also true that if Wiggins' group knew Yi Chen was caught as soon as he arrived in China, wouldn't they all laugh their teeth off?

  Several members of the action group looked at each other, all helpless about Yi Chen. The person was brought in by them, and they couldn't just kick him out now, could they? Especially since their partner, the head of the Russian trade delegation, was already jumping up and down in Beijing, shouting for his release. If only they could find some evidence of Yi Chen's wrongdoing to justify it, but he seemed as innocent as air itself - where would they even begin to investigate? (Yi Chen didn't even have a registered household record, so how could they investigate?)

  Yi Chen looked at the embarrassed faces of several people, smiled and shook his right hand, saying: "Gentlemen, my hand..." A young man hurriedly came up to unlock the handcuffs for him, saying: "Sorry, Mr. Yi Chen, this time it was all our fault in our work..."

  Yi Chen stood up and rudely interrupted him, saying: "It's not that there's a problem with your work, but rather the leader of your group, Feilong, has a problem. He is intentionally retaliating against me... In the past, he had done some things that were not in line with the rules, and I stopped him. Now, relying on his high position, he is intentionally retaliating against me. Of course, you can ask him, Feilong, about the details."

  A middle-aged man was a bit puzzled: "Fei Long? Long Fei? What's the story behind this name? Could it be that Dragon Fly used to be called Fei Long? It's possible, anyway, sending Yi Chen out the door and not complaining to the media would complete the task."

  Yi Chen smiled, anyway he couldn't do anything to Long Fei and the others now, and there was no deep hatred between them. He had beaten him before, and Long Fei had locked him up for so long, which could be considered as even.

  Yi Chen walked straight to the gate and said lightly, "Everyone, do you have a car? Give me a ride, I don't want to spend my own money on a taxi. Don't worry, I won't make this public, but I will hold Feilong's superiors accountable for their responsibility."

  At this moment, Long Fei, who was being watched, had already angrily used his divine sense to contact his two closest junior brothers, asking them to help deal with this matter. He had just barely explained his current situation and why he had clashed with Yi Chen when his two junior brothers suddenly seemed to move at high speed, and the connection between Long Fei and them was cut off.

  But his two junior brothers were the kind of people who thought they were the only ones in the world, and when they heard that their senior brother had lost his position because of Yi Chen, and Yi Chen was the former Tian Xing Sect's Yi Chenzi, they immediately wanted to teach Yi Chen a lesson. They quickly found Yi Chen's information on their car's computer and flew out, rushing towards the hotel where Yi Chen had booked a room. At this moment, Yi Chen had just gotten into the car that was sending him back to the hotel.

  Long Fei's heart was filled with regret, his intention was to have his junior brothers inform their master, and then discuss with the officials how to downplay the situation he had caused. However, from what he sensed, the two junior brothers had actually charged out fiercely, if they were to hurt any of Yi Chen's entourage, it would likely ruin their sect's plan to rely on official power to suppress Tian Xing Sect. For the first time, Long Fei regretted his actions at the dock. If he couldn't do anything to Yi Chen, why provoke him?

  Felicity, sitting in the hotel room, counting with a stopwatch, suddenly shouted: "I can't take it anymore, time's up." She jumped out of the window, like a white bird, lightly touched the outer wall of the hotel, and quickly climbed to the rooftop. Jester was shocked, quickly followed her, but he didn't dare shout loudly, so he prepared to stop Felicity's reckless slaughter in case of an emergency.

  Jester rushed to the rooftop, only to be shocked to find Ferri floating on the rooftop, warily staring at the two black-clad men in front of her.

  Two men in black with long hair flowing, their eyes gleaming with a divine light, gradually, wisps of clear air emanated from their bodies, and they also floated up, their mouths uttering in low tones: "Where is Yichenzi? Are you his people?"

  Fei Li couldn't understand Chinese, but after hearing the pronunciation of 'yi', she had already regarded these two men in black as her enemies. Of course, in a certain sense, these two junior brothers of Long Fei could indeed be considered her enemies.

  A crystal of ice flashed on Fei Li's forehead, emitting a faint white glow. Jester was shocked to see this scene, and he knew that Fei Li was going all out. He hastily rushed towards the two Taoist sect disciples and asked, "Who are you? What business do you have with our boss 'yi'?" Unfortunately, the two Taoist sect members couldn't understand English either, but they clearly felt the increasingly cold aura emanating from Fei Li's body.

  Two dragon roars, two long swords rose from behind them, as if two bolts of lightning pierced the eyes of Jester and Ferri. Jester's face turned cold, damn it, fight then fight, am I supposed to be afraid of you? Jester slightly bent down, on both hands, two faintly black flames emerged.

  While Felina had undergone a strange transformation, her silver hair grew slowly and changed to a silver-white color with a hint of transparency. Her lips and eyes turned pale white, surrounded by a halo composed of ice crystals. The sky was filled with faint snowflakes floating gently.

  The two disciples of the Moral Sect were shocked in their hearts, they didn't know that these innate ability holders possessed powers and were different from them, thinking that Feri was using some kind of spell to create this effect, so it must be a very high-level magic. However, with a wave of his heart, two sword lights swept out like a match, rushing towards Feri and Jester respectively.

  Jie Si's body was surrounded by a flame shield that formed a full defense, and he charged forward violently. His hands moved rapidly as countless ping-pong ball-sized fireballs shot out. A cold sword aura flashed towards him, but his flame shield didn't provide any defensive effect. The left shoulder had already been pierced by the sword light, and his dense fireballs also sent that injured moral sect disciple flying, with a charred body.

  Fairy's hand waved, and more than a dozen layers of crystal-clear ice walls blocked her and the sword light between them. Then, hundreds of fine three-edged ice thorns appeared out of thin air, bringing a sharp whistling sound, flying towards the moral sect disciples in front of her. The power contained on the surface of the sword light exceeded Fairy's imagination, and more than a dozen layers of ice walls were destroyed like eggshells. Although most of its momentum was weakened, it still left three deep blood marks on her body. However, such injuries did not cause much harm to Fairy. After being frozen by the cold air, the wound basically healed, but that true yuan force almost made Fairy spit out blood.

  However, the moral sect's junior brother in front of Fei Li was miserable. The three-pronged thorn that Fei Li had exerted her full strength to send out almost pierced hundreds of transparent holes on his body. Fortunately, he relied on the Moral Sect's illusion technique to quickly escape and took a few Master Door Spirit Pills, which saved his life. It's pitiful to think about it - his power was only slightly above Fei Li's, but because he wasn't familiar with her powers, he became careless for a moment and suffered greatly. If he had used all of his defensive treasures from the start, how could he have ended up in such a sorry state? His sword light lost its master's control, circling around in mid-air before shooting off in the direction he had escaped to. However, Fei Li's nearly absolute zero-degree chill had already enveloped it, and amidst the flashing lights, this excellent flying sword was destroyed, turning into iron filings that fell from the sky.

  Jester clutched at his pierced shoulder, a pained grunt escaping his lips.

  The moral sect disciple who was blown away by Jester stabilized his body after flying out of the rooftop for over a dozen meters, and under the drive of true yuan force, he flew back like a bird. A dragon-shaped golden light flew out from his sleeve, wrapped around his whole body, then he loudly chanted an incantation that Fei Li and Jester couldn't understand. Afterwards, thick bolts of lightning struck down from less than 100 meters high clouds, precisely hitting Fei Li and Jester.

  Fairy has already exceeded her own load of transformation, and after destroying the opponent's flying sword with all her might, she is now powerless to continue. At this moment, she was struck by two flashes of lightning and immediately flew out, fainting on the ground, and her appearance also returned to its usual shape.

  Jester dodged two flashes of lightning, but under the manipulation of De Zong's disciple, hundreds of flashes of golden snakes chased him relentlessly. Jester was shocked by his opponent's strength and roared in his mouth: "Damn it, don't force me."

  A bolt of lightning had struck him, the powerful electric current almost suffocating Jester, and the contained heavenly energy nearly causing his body to explode.

  Jester's eyes emitted a terrifying black glow, the star power within his body began to circulate, frantically absorbing the ubiquitous stellar energy in this night sky. His mouth whispered softly: "Praise my Lord, my Lord is omnipotent, lend me your power, destroy all rebellious things on earth. Satan, omnipotent Lord, grant me your original dark power."

  A thick and large black inverted cross-shaped light pillar slashed towards the Moral Sect disciple who was floating in mid-air, laughing loudly. Jester borrowed the power of that dark overlord from the underworld to slash out this extremely powerful strike, but afterwards he himself also collapsed onto the ground.

  The worst was this moral brother's disciple, the black inverted cross struck his body right in the middle. His flesh had almost no power to resist, and even the golden dragon ring that he had conjured up in a dragon shape was scattered along with him. Only his newly formed primordial spirit managed to escape in great fright. The lightning bolt that had lost its control flashed towards the black inverted cross light, and after colliding with it, let out a deafening roar before disappearing.

  Almost half of Shanghai heard the loud noise, and Yi Chen, who was driving at high speed, felt an unnatural fluctuation in the surrounding star power. He was shocked: "Is there someone from our sect here? Which idiot only absorbed the most ferocious Western White Tiger position's star power to increase his own strength? Oh my god, it's Jest, what happened to him? Dammit, who is he dealing with?"

  He furrowed his brow in contemplation, and a thick killing intent burst forth from Yi Chen's body, causing the young man standing next to him to almost faint. Yi Chen gritted his teeth, his face turning iron-green as he thought: "Good, Fei Long Dao Zhang, you bastard, have your fellow disciples found Phi Li and the others? Good, good, they'd better not be harmed, otherwise, I'll risk being destroyed body and soul to annihilate your Dao De Sect."
