Chapter 48: Track

Ye Xiong covered his eyes. He crouched on the ground and groaned in agony.

“Are you alright?”

Luo Weiwei realized that his veins were surfacing under his skin all over his body. It was obvious that he was in great pain.

Rosefinch stared at one side. Her eyes flashed as she pondered.

The pain lasted for a few minutes before it subsided.

Ye Xiong stood up to quietly leave and headed to the toilet.

He saw a pair of eyes that clearly did not belong to any human in the mirror. The blood-red color had yet to subside completely and it looked incredibly frightening.

“F*ck, what’s going on!” Ye Xiong cursed.

Phoenix’s words then flashed across his mind.

“You’ve been buried underground for half a month and you’ve miraculously survived. No normal man could survive in that condition for that long. The Chief suspects that they’d modified your genes.”

His eyes returned to normal ten minutes later. He felt incredibly weak as if he had just experienced an intense battle.

Ye Xiong barely held on due to the side effects even though he had an extraordinary built. If it were any average man, they probably would not be able to endure this and die.

Ye Xiong washed his face as he returned to the control room.

“What’s the matter?” Rosefinch asked worriedly.

“I’ve been holding it for too long. I’m a guy, you know what I mean.” Ye Xiong smiled mischievously before ordering the operator. “Please pull the timestamp to seven minutes three seconds… Yes, here. Stop!”

Ye Xiong pointed at a man entering the hotel in the monitor. “It’s him.”

Luo Weiwei went in closer and looked at the replay a few times, but she could not find anything wrong with it.

Rosefinch, who had been silent for a while decided to voice out. “This man had undergone some special training. Look at the way he is walking, it is calm and stable. His hands did not swing too gently nor too widely. It’s a habit of a militant and it’s incredibly hard to change it.”

Luo Weiwei looked carefully and it seemed to be the truth. She was shocked in her mind as she stared at Rosefinch.

She did not expect that there was someone so capable of serving beside Ye Xiong.

However, she was even more impressed with Ye Xiong as the latter was able to differentiate the suspect’s walking posture at such an incredible speed. It was something that defied the laws of physics!

“Can you really recognize he’s the guy who planted the poison just by looking at his walking posture?” Luo Weiwei asked shockingly.

“I recognized him by his face.”

“You can recognize someone’s a criminal by looking at their faces? You must be joking!” Luo Weiwei did not believe him at all since the suspect did not carve the word criminal on his face.

“I’ve seen him at Fuhua Hotel before.” Ye Xiong told the truth.

Luo Weiwei was at a loss for words.

She immediately searched for the suspect’s name via her database on the spot.

Yan Li: 28 years old, born in the East District of Jiangnan City, retired veteran, currently working in Tianyu Bar, night shift, one-meter seventy-eight centimeters tall, unmarried.

“Tianyu Bar is He Family’s business. We can deduce that Ye Xiong’s deduction is a possibility. “Weiwei looked at the information as she immediately ordered her subordinates. “I’m going to capture Yan Li now.”

“I’ll follow you.”

Ye Xiong turned her head around and told Rosefinch, “Lil Song, stay here and take care of the hotel. Let me know if anything happens.”

Rosefinch nodded. She then phoned someone with a serious look on her face as Luo Weiwei and Ye Xiong left the scene.

“Chief, something’s wrong. Death of God’s gene may have been awakened.”

“What’s the situation?” An anxious voice came from the other side of the phone.

Rosefinch reported everything she saw and the other side of the phone was quiet for a long time.

“I didn’t expect things would come to this. My most worrisome thing has happened.”

“Chief, now that his gene has awakened, is it very dangerous?” Rosefinch was concerned.

“Genetic warfare has always been a double-edged sword. It would help the nation if used properly and it’s incredibly effective. However, when it’s badly managed, it’s extremely destructive. Rosefinch, your responsibility is incredibly heavy here. You must make sure he doesn’t tread on the wrong path,” the Chief said seriously.

“Chief, I’ve been interacting with him for some time now and I’m not worried that he would tread on the wrong path. Although Ye Xiong is perverted and heartless at times, he’s still a good man. He knows what to do and what not to do,” Rosefinch said.

“No one can dispute his integrity. After all, he’s someone I’ve personally handpicked. The only thing I’m worried about is the genetic modification’s side effects…”

“Don’t you worry Chief. I’ll keep a good eye on him and make sure he doesn’t mess around.” Rosefinch was confident.

Luo Weiwei drove the police car with Ye Xiong in it as they headed to Tianyu Bar.

The bar was operating at this hour, hence Yan Li must be at the bar.

“You guard the rear door. If Yan Li escapes from there, apprehend him.” Ye Xiong got down from the car and headed towards the entrance.

“You’re not a policeman, you’ve no right to apprehend someone. I’m heading in with you.” Luo Weiwei got down from the car as well.

“You’ve got chest but you’ve got no brain. Why do you still bring up the rules in such a critical moment?”

“I’m going in with you regardless. You’ll do anything when you’re riled up. It would be impossible to clean up the mess if you were to kill him.” Luo Weiwei pouted.

“Yet you’re not afraid of me being beaten to death.” Ye Xiong laughed

“Are you serious? The person that’s able to beat you has yet to be born into this world!” Luo Weiwei rolled her eyes.

The two entered the hotel. The staff was lazily cleaning up the place since the bar was about to open. A short guard ran towards them as he saw two strangers entering the place while inspecting the area.

“Freeze, what are you two doing?”

“We’re…”

As Luo Weiwei was about to bring out her police badge, Ye Xiong had unexpectedly held her hand and smiled. “We’re here to find Brother Li.”

“What business do you have Brother Li?”

“Here’s the situation. We’re a married couple and we’ve loaned some money with Brother Li. We’re here to return the money to him.” Ye Xiong spoke as he held onto Luo Weiwei’s beautiful and slender hand. He smiled as he spoke, “Please inform him.”

The edge of Luo Weiwei’s lips twitched. She did not expect this b*stard to take advantage of her even at this moment!

“Why don’t you give him a call?” The guard was cautious.

“We wouldn’t be asking you if we manage to get hold of him.”

“Are you two really husband and wife?” The guard looked at the two and was still rather suspicious.

Ye Xiong pulled Luo Weiwei over into his embrace.

Luo Weiwei was dumbfounded. She did not expect that Ye Xiong would continue taking advantage of her even more.

However, she did not dare to explode in anger at such a critical moment. She had no choice but to keep quiet and play along. She gritted her teeth and said, “That’s right. He’s my husband.”

“Dear, thank you for forking out your money to repay my debt. I’ll definitely repay you dearly tonight.” Ye Xiong suddenly gently pecked at Luo Weiwei’s pink and tender lips.

‘Oh my God. My first kiss has been stolen!’

Luo Weiwei was so angry that her face turned red. If her gaze could kill people, Ye Xiong would have thousands of holes in his body.

However, in the eyes of the guard, Luo Weiwei’s face turning red was a sign of embarrassment.

The guard took out his phone and called Yan Li.

A clear ringtone sounded on the first floor.

The guard was shocked. As he was about to defend himself, Luo Weiwei had already chopped at his neck, knocking him out in an instant.

“We’ll slowly talk about this later.” Luo Weiwei stared angrily at Ye Xiong as she sprinted upstairs.

Since there was a ringtone coming from the first floor, it was a clear sign that Yan Li was just upstairs.

As they reached the first floor, Luo Weiwei felt someone grabbing her hand from behind as she was about to pull out her gun and retreated hastily.

Meanwhile, a knife flashed by and grazed her neck. Luo Weiwei’s neck would have been severely cut if she was late by a second. Realizing it, she was so startled that she started sweating bullets!

“You’ve got a big chest but you’ve got no brain. No one would charge in mindlessly like you.” Ye Xiong scolded.
