Chapter 3796 Escape
That evening, after Ye Yan delivered another meal to Situ Qingfeng, the people at the office took over Situ Qingfeng's custody as well.
"Instructor Ye, what exactly happened?"
Robert frowned as he looked at the several IERO staff members following behind him.
Officially, they were supposed to go back to rest, but in reality, it felt more like they were being escorted back.
Ye Yan subtly signaled to Robert not to make a fuss—and soon, Ye Yan and Robert were taken to another room.
Alex, however, was already here much earlier.
The door to the room was quickly closed.
"This... Instructor Ye, Instructor Alex, what happened?"
Alex said with a wry smile, "Judging from the situation, we're probably in temporary quarantine."
Saying it's quarantined is a nice way of putting it... the less nice way is that it's been placed under house arrest.
Alex quickly explained to Robert his previous conversation and speculations with Ye Yan... Robert felt angry and incredulous after listening.
"So, headquarters really intends to secretly release Situ Qingfeng, causing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan to fail and thus weaken S.H.I.E.L.D.'s influence?" Robert sat down indignantly. "Holy shit!"
"I suspect they'll take action tonight," Ye Yan said after a moment's thought.
Robert hesitated. Although Situ Qingfeng hadn't confessed, the two vampires couldn't withstand the effects of the Holy Water and told him everything they could.
This time, the "allies" of the American underworld will not only attack "S.H.I.E.L.D." but also unleash a massive disaster—a disaster that will affect civilians—making it a situation of no return with "S.H.I.E.L.D."
However, the betrayal of the Karen family could very well turn the disaster into a great achievement for S.H.I.E.L.D.
If Situ Qingfeng is released, the course of events will once again become unpredictable... but [IERO] will have an opportunity to profit from it.
"Is headquarters planning to intervene forcefully when disaster strikes?" Alex glanced at Ye Yan subconsciously and voiced his guess.
“This is indeed a legitimate opportunity to enter the room.” Ye Yan pulled back the curtains in the room—good heavens, the curtains were just decorations, this was basically a wall.
"Whose call was that?" Robert suddenly frowned.
"Don't look at me, mine's been confiscated." Alex shrugged, then realized, "Where did this phone come from?"
Ye Yan quickly walked to the cabinet next to him and opened one of the drawers—the telephone was there, an old-fashioned mobile phone, dialing in, the number unknown.
The three of them walked together, and Ye Yan picked up the phone and put it on speakerphone.
"Alex, Robert, Ye Yan!"
"You are...Minister Sherry?"
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, the three exchanged bewildered glances... Had Minister Shirley placed this phone here beforehand? Instantly, all three realized that there might be some problems at headquarters.
"To make a long story short," Minister Shirley's voice rang out quickly. "Situ Qingfeng's matter has been leaked. There are several different opinions regarding this incident, and I have been temporarily isolated. Someone wants to silence Situ Qingfeng. Now I'm giving you a secret mission: you must take Situ Qingfeng away!"
"What?" Robert asked incredulously, "Secretary Shirley, you support S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"What idiotic statement?" Minister Shirley's voice was immediately filled with anger. "Is it really necessary for Situ Qingfeng to personally go back and tell those guys in the Alliance about the mere news of the [Karen] clan's betrayal?"
“Uh…” Robert’s face immediately turned awkward.
Minister Shirley said, "Alex, Ye Yan, Situ Qingfeng's true value lies in the fact that he is an important witness to the collusion between Sky Shield and the Karen Clan. There is a deeper conspiracy behind Sky Shield's nationwide security strategy... We in IERO have been infiltrated by their people quite a bit, but I can't tell you all the details right now... In short, we must take Situ Qingfeng away safely."
The three of them were silent.
Minister Shirley took a deep breath and said, "This mission is unofficial; only you and I know about it. I will not leave any official orders or documents, so you can choose not to accept this mission. There will be no reward if you succeed, and if you fail, you may be considered to have committed treason."
“But we’re already in quarantine,” Alex said somberly.
“I will create an opportunity for you.” Minister Shirley’s voice suddenly became urgent. “You can consider whether you seize this opportunity or take any action when it arises. Then I will know your choice… Remember, do not let anyone know the content of this conversation.”
beep--!
The room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear the other person breathing.
Alex took a deep breath. "Judging from the situation, the minister's situation at headquarters isn't very good either?"
"...Instructors, what should we do?" Robert hesitated. "If we get involved, what about my upcoming matches?"
"Ye... what are you thinking?"
Ye Yan silently put his phone into his pocket and pondered, "Shirley said that there are several voices in headquarters... Those who want to silence Situ Qingfeng are most likely the people who have infiltrated from Sky Shield."
Robert's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, the minister also said that there are many ways to get the news out, and it's not necessarily necessary for Situ Qingfeng to go back... So, the minister supports using this incident to get [IERO] involved on the American side?"
“What other sounds could they be?” Alex frowned as he sat down.
"Probably neutral or something like that," Ye Yan said calmly. "Or maybe they're just observing. They'll lean towards whichever side gains more... There's a bigger conspiracy behind the overall security strategy, and perhaps they're waiting for this to emerge. We know too little about it."
"So...should we listen to the minister?" Robert looked at the two of them. "Just the three of us?"
Alex thought for a moment and said, "Since this is a power struggle between high-level officials, there won't be too many people involved... The fact that the minister approached the three of us means that we three have a chance to succeed... She also said that she would create opportunities."
Robert sighed, "If I do well, there's no reward and nobody knows; if I fail, it's considered treason... I might as well give up. I'd rather go to the ring and get beaten up the day after tomorrow!"
Alex sneered, "From the moment we discovered this, we've had no way to escape this vortex... Didn't the higher-ups already know that we knew about Situ Qingfeng's existence?"
Robert's face immediately darkened. "Instructor, you mean... we might still be pushed to take the blame?"
“This kind of thing happens a lot in the military,” Alex sighed. “Besides, if we were trusted, we wouldn’t be isolated like this, would we?”
Robert's face darkened even more, and he slammed his fist on the sofa. "I joined [IERO] to catch those who do evil, not to participate in this dirty politics! F*K!"
Alex breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, there is a reward for this task."
Robert looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Alex thought for a moment and said, "As long as [IERO] gains a huge benefit from this incident, Minister Sherry's power will also be further enhanced... This is our reward."
Basically, if the boss doesn't improve, how can the subordinates improve?
Robert's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Then... shall we do it?"
Alex silently took a bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him and chugged it down. "After this competition, I don't want to go back to the training camp as an instructor. It's too boring!"
Upon hearing this, Robert understood Instructor Alex's choice... He subconsciously looked at Instructor Ye—he respected Ye Yan even more because he recognized Instructor Ye's strength.
"OK." Ye Yan nodded.
Situ Qingfeng can be interrogated and imprisoned... but he absolutely cannot be silenced, because the other party is a military man and also an overseas Chinese... Our ancestors were all Chinese!
……
Time passed slowly...it was almost 10 p.m.
Click——!
A faint sound.
"The door's open!" Robert took a deep breath. "Looks like the minister's side has started making moves too... What about us?"
Alex nodded emphatically.
Robert suddenly flung open the door to the isolation room… Instantly, the two [IERO] clerks guarding the door were startled.
Robert was about to make a move when Ye Yan was one step ahead, rushing out instantly, pinching a diamond shape with his fingers, and striking directly into the opponent's pressure point.
Before the two clerks could even draw their guns, they fell to the ground.
"You didn't kill them, did you?" Alex asked hesitantly.
Ye Yan carried the two frozen guys into the isolation room with a disgruntled expression. "They'll wake up in half an hour at most."
Ye Yan rummaged through the equipment of the two clerks... and tossed Alex a spirit pistol, "Let's go, before their people find us."
Specially crafted spirit particle bullets possess powerful lethality against non-humans... Anyone who knows how to shoot them can do it.
"OK?" Alex chuckled. "I feel like I'm Jissbon right now!"
"Instructor Ye, you must teach me this acupoint technique next time!" Robert's eyes lit up.
"Then you should go to Chinese-style foot massage parlors and massage shops more often. This will help you learn about acupoints on the human body," Ye Yan said casually.
“I love going to massage parlors!” Robert exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Robert, go and build an ice wall to stop them from joining together!" Ye Yan suddenly ordered.
"Okay, instructor!" Robert nodded quickly and turned to leave.
But in that instant, he felt a tingling sensation in the back of his neck and spine, followed by a wave of dizziness... Before he could speak, Robert suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Ye?!" Alex stared at Ye Yan in surprise and uncertainty, wondering what Ye Yan was planning to do at this moment!
Ye Yan looked at Alex and said, "Buddy, put down your gun. You know you're no match for me."
"...You want to take it all on yourself?" Alex said in a deep voice.
“Situ Qingfeng’s ancestral home is Shenzhou, and he is a martial artist. I am also from Shenzhou, and I am also a martial artist.” Ye Yan chuckled. “Therefore, I am the most reasonable one… Remember, you noticed my abnormality and tried to stop me, but I ambushed you.”
"Wait..." Alex wanted to say something more.
Ye Yan raised his hand, a flash of cold light, and a throwing knife pierced directly into Alex's shoulder... Alex instinctively groaned in pain as Ye Yan slammed into Alex with a powerful shoulder strike.
"Dude... take care of your family. I don't even have a girlfriend, so it doesn't matter to me."
"You... bastard..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely get Situ Qingfeng out of here... As long as I succeed, Minister Shirley will also protect you."
Suddenly, all the lights in the corridor went out.
"A power outage?" Ye Yan frowned. "It seems to be Minister Shirley..."
He quickly sped up and headed towards the room where Situ Qingfeng was being held.
……
……
The interrogation room went dark instantly, and the next moment Situ Qingfeng frowned, suddenly exerted force with his limbs, and broke free of the specially made handcuffs and shackles.
This game is good at locking up to LV1, and it's even for the kind of weaklings whose bodies haven't been significantly enhanced (non-human).
What trapped him was entirely due to the formidable [IERO] clerks at the office—I don't know about others, but just Robert, who could easily take down two vampires, was someone Situ Qingfeng knew would be a formidable opponent.
Moreover, he had already suffered considerable injuries after escaping from the Karen clan, and his strength could not be fully utilized.
Listening intently to the sounds outside the door, Situ Qingfeng silently adjusted his breathing.
Just then, some light fighting sounds came from inside. Not long after, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open. Situ Qingfeng frowned as he looked at Ye Yan standing in front of him.
"Come with me, someone wants to kill you." Ye Yan didn't mince words.
As if he had thought of something, Situ Qingfeng nodded calmly... He glanced outside and saw several people lying down in the corridor.
Situ Qingfeng frowned. "Is there some internal conflict within IERO?"
"What exactly is behind the Sky Shield Bureau's nationwide security strategy?" Ye Yan asked directly.
Situ Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Help me get out of here, and I'll tell you!"
Ye Yan tossed a spirit pistol over, "Power's back on, let's go!"
The corner of the corridor.
"They're here!"
"stop!!"
"FIRE!!"
Biubiubiu——!!
……
This unacknowledged mission was only possible because the combat strength of Alex, Robert, and Ye Yan were all taken into account—but when only Ye Yan remained as the executor, the difficulty increased dramatically.
"Ye Yan! You've broken the rules, surrender!"
"Instructor Ye, what are you doing? Stop! I don't want to hurt you!"
The two were quickly surrounded and cornered.
Situ Qingfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and Ye Yan casually threw the empty spirit pistol on the ground, lowering his voice to say, "Find a way out. The buildings here aren't very high, you won't die from the fall."
“Only now that spiritual energy has revived!” Situ Qingfeng couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Ye Yan shrugged, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, searching for a weak point.
Suddenly, a terrifying gust of air came from behind... With a loud bang, a huge hole was blown open in the wall behind us!
The crowd that had been surrounding them all gasped in shock.
This building has been reinforced using special methods... otherwise Ye Yan and Situ Qingfeng wouldn't be trapped here; they could have simply broken through the wall and left!
This height is nothing to non-humans!
"jump down!"
In that moment of shock, Ye Yan and Situ Qingfeng simultaneously heard a deep female voice in their ears... Without any hesitation, the two quickly jumped down from the cave entrance!
Before they even landed, while they were still in mid-air, an irresistible force instantly grabbed them and pulled them into the alleyway below the building.
Ye Yan felt a sudden dizziness, and eventually he and Situ Qingfeng were swept into the back seat of a car... The car then started and quickly merged into the bustling traffic of Huafu.
It only took about ten seconds.
Inside the 【IERO】 office building, the staff were stunned for a moment before hurriedly dispatching personnel in a fit of anger.
……
"You...who are you?"
After regaining his composure, Ye Yan took a deep breath and looked at the two people in the front seat... two women.
"You've been captured, you know that?" The woman in the passenger seat spoke in a low, deep voice. "Cooperate obediently, or else... hah."
Ye Yan frowned. "Sister-in-law, how did you get here?"
"..." Zi Ling's mother couldn't help but take off her baseball cap, staring at Ye Yan with an unfriendly expression, and said, "Big Ye, you're making me look stupid!"
"It really is you..." Ye Yan's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the woman driving next to him, frowning involuntarily.
Ren Ziling had no way to break through the wall and grabbed herself and Situ Qingfeng in mid-air... So who exactly was the woman driving the car?
"This is Minister Xuan Ruo!" Zi Ling's mother said quickly, "She's the one who saved you, you should thank her!"
"I will never forget your life-saving grace!" Situ Qingfeng said readily... since it didn't cost him any money anyway.
"Thank you for your help, Minister Xuanruo." Ye Yan also expressed his gratitude, then pondered for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, you still haven't said how you ended up at the [IERO] office... Don't say you just happened to be passing by."
"On a whim?" Ziling's mother said, "I saw you didn't want to come over for New Year's Eve dinner, so I made some dumplings and brought them over for you... It's the New Year, but it's good that we came!"
As she spoke, Ziling's mother pulled out the dumplings from under the seat. "Here, I put a lot of effort into making these. They're sauerkraut and pork filling!"
At that moment, Ye Yan silently took the bag and gripped it tightly.
"They've caught up!" Situ Qingfeng suddenly interrupted.
Ye Yan took a deep breath, his expression turning serious. Just as he was about to speak, Minister Xuan Ruo suddenly said, "Hold on tight to the handrail... sit still."
"What?" Ziling's mother was stunned.
Then, this Buick Regal, which was driving in the traffic,... took off.
Yes, it took flight, soaring into the sky in an instant, heading straight for the moon...
Ziling's mother gasped, her whole body trembling...excited! So thrilling! I love it!!
……
The vehicles dispatched by 【IERO】 all came to a stop halfway down the road... The clerks got out of the vehicles, some cursing and others scratching their heads.
Grab a hair.
The taillights are no longer visible.
"What the f*ck?!"
