700: Chapter 696: Target Appears!
Ye Tian hid in a coffee shop not far from the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, peering through the cafe to monitor every movement at the entrance of the police station.
He possessed the ability to see through objects, and his vision was exceptionally good, so as long as Ye Zhirong arrived here, he would definitely not escape Ye Tian’s eyes!
The police station’s doors were open, and many citizens who had business at the station flooded in.
However, among these people, Ye Tian did not see Ye Zhirong’s figure…
“That guy will definitely come!”
—Ye Tian silently said to himself, after all, Ye Zhirong seemed to place immense value on money, so for the sake of money, he would definitely visit the police station.
Only, he had no idea when that guy would come, so he could only continue to watch silently.
Ye Tian couldn’t afford to lose sight of him…
“Ye Tian, why are you here?”
Ye Tian was concentrating on watching the police station’s entrance when an unexpected, familiar voice reached his ears.
Who else could it be but Wang Ke’er?
“…”
Ye Tian was silent, sizing up Wang Ke’er.
Wang Ke’er was wearing a police uniform today, which looked quite nice.
The uniform had been tailored to fit and flatter a female officer’s form.
Wang Ke’er looked quite presentable in it, and with her delicate features, she was especially eye-catching.
However, Wang Ke’er had one major flaw in her figure: her bust was too small, childlike!
This created a destructive impact on Wang Ke’er’s overall appearance!
If one only looked at Wang Ke’er’s face and uniform, she was undoubtedly a beauty, but if her figure was taken into account as well, it could only make others shake their heads…
“Sigh…”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but shake his head, which infuriated Wang Ke’er when she saw it!
“What do you mean by that, Ye Tian?”
Wang Ke’er was displeased, but Ye Tian just gave her a mischievous smile and said, “I don’t mean anything by it, just pondering whether anyone would mistake you for a guy if you went swimming naked.”
“You!?”
Ye Tian’s words made Wang Ke’er explode with anger.
She swung her palm towards Ye Tian’s face.
“Slap!”
However, although Wang Ke’er was a police officer, her strength was far inferior to Ye Tian’s, so her slap was easily caught by him.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Tian pulled her toward him, and she tumbled into his arms.
Being so close to Ye Tian made Wang Ke’er’s cheeks turn red.
She looked at Ye Tian shyly.
Just moments ago, Wang Ke’er wished she could slap Ye Tian to death, but now that she was close to him, she lost all desire to slap him…
Ye Tian’s eyes were firmly fixed on the entrance of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau outside the window.
Now was not the time for flirting with a pretty police officer.
So, Ye Tian pulled Wang Ke’er up and seated her opposite him.
“Tai Ping, shouldn’t you be on duty at the pedestrian plaza in Jiangcheng?
Why did you come to the Public Security Bureau?”
Ye Tian asked curiously.
Wang Ke’er pursed her lips and said, “The duty at the pedestrian plaza rotates; I’m not stationed there forever!
My shift has ended, and those of us from the branches have to come to the headquarters for training.”
“Training?
Then what are you doing here drinking coffee?”
Ye Tian inquired with interest.
Wang Ke’er replied, “I got the time wrong.
The training was supposed to be at 10:30, but I arrived at 8:30, two full hours early.
With nothing else to do, I had to come to the café for a coffee!”
“I see!”
Ye Tian nodded and said no more.
Wang Ke’er saw the serious expression on Ye Tian’s face and felt a sense of foreboding.
She hastily said, “Ye Tian, I’ve told you why I’m here, now it’s your turn to tell me why you’re here, right?”
Quid pro quo; Wang Ke’er’s words seemed fair and reasonable.
Ye Tian looked at Wang Ke’er, pondered for a while, and then asked, “Tai Ping, do you really want to know?”
“Of course!”
Wang Ke’er nodded firmly.
“Well then!
I’ll tell you!”
Ye Tian said generously.
After all, Wang Ke’er was a police officer, and some things didn’t need to be hidden from her!
“Actually, I’m here to pick a fight!”
“A fight!?”
Wang Ke’er was taken aback.
If someone else had said they wanted to fight, she would have simply laughed it off because it wouldn’t cause much of a stir.
But Ye Tian was different; he was incredibly powerful, to an indescribable extent!
If this guy wanted to fight, the destruction it could wreak on the surroundings would be catastrophic!
Wang Ke’er still remembered that after Ye Tian fought with that mysterious man in a black robe, the entire pedestrian street plaza in Jiang City had vanished into thin air.
If it hadn’t been for the timely repairs by the municipal authorities, the citizens of Jiang City would have had nowhere to shop!
“Do you really want to fight?
Why do you have to fight?”
Wang Ke’er looked at Ye Tian with a serious expression, asking in detail.
Ye Tian responded nonchalantly, “Of course, to fight!
I’m prepared now.
That guy is very powerful.
I must give it my all to defeat him!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his fist.
Wang Ke’er felt extremely troubled in her heart.
If it were just a few hooligans provoking Ye Tian, then he wouldn’t need to use his full strength, and the surroundings wouldn’t suffer such severe destruction!
However, Ye Tian said his opponent was formidable.
If that person were truly on par with Ye Tian, should the two of them fight, she feared that the entire municipal public security bureau might be destroyed!
“No way, Ye Tian!
You can’t fight no matter what!”
Wang Ke’er said sternly, trying to make Ye Tian abandon the idea of fighting for the sake of environmental safety.
But Ye Tian just shook his head and said, “I can’t do that!
This fight is about a man’s pride.
I have to do it!”
“I’ll mediate!
Both of you sit down and talk it over properly!”
Wang Ke’er made a suggestion that left Ye Tian both amused and incredulous.
He chuckled and didn’t bother to comment on her naive remarks.
Thinking Ye Tian was treating her like a fool, she quickly added, “Then, I’ll take the person you want to fight to the outskirts.
We cannot let the fight break out here, no matter what!”
Ye Tian laughed and said, “Tian Yi, oh Tian Yi, why is your head filled with nothing but tofu dregs?
Think about it.
If he’s such a formidable opponent, do you really think you could lead him away with your ability?”
“…”
Ye Tian’s words left Wang Ke’er at a loss for words.
Wang Ke’er hung her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of Ye Tian.
Though her thoughts were naive, she didn’t want Ye Tian to cause trouble with other experts right in front of the Jiang City public security bureau—a genuine concern that motivated her.
Looking at Wang Ke’er’s downcast face, Ye Tian said with a smile, “Relax, Tian Yi.
That guy, I’ve been pestering him to fight.
Actually, he doesn’t want to fight me, so if I provoke him actively, he might even run away.”
Wang Ke’er naturally didn’t believe these words.
With the posture of a young girl, Wang Ke’er complained, “Ye Tian, you have to keep your word.
If you and that person destroy the public security bureau, I won’t let you off easily!”
“Alright, alright…”
Ye Tian hurriedly nodded and then looked at the entrance of the public security bureau, where a gaunt figure appeared before his eyes.
Full of white hair, eyes fierce and imminent, though it was the first time Ye Tian saw the man’s noble features, he was certain that this white-haired old man was Ye Zhirong—the one he was looking for!
“Tian Yi, the person I want to fight is here!
I have to go!”
Ye Tian waved at Wang Ke’er and didn’t exit through the cafe’s main door but instead leapt straight out of the window.
With one move, he arrived at the entrance of the public security bureau.
At that moment, Ye Zhirong’s face was filled with worry, his forehead drenched with sweat, clutching a bank card tightly in his hand.
It seemed that to return 180,000 yuan, this old man had gone to great lengths to come from afar—it must have been tough for him…
“Ye Zhirong, take this move from me!”
Ye Tian bellowed and had already darted to Ye Zhirong’s side.
Startled, Ye Zhirong saw Ye Tian’s palm strike closing in and, exerting three parts of his strength, he dared not be careless, swinging a palm instinctively, clashing with Ye Tian’s.
“Bang!”
A loud noise echoed.
Although neither had used their full strength, both were exceptional experts.
As a result, their clashing released energy in all directions, affecting the nearby pedestrians.
Those who were slightly closer were sent flying by the shock waves of their power…
Underneath Ye Zhirong’s feet, the ground also started to crack, and broken stones scattered in all directions!
“King of the Night!
You actually ambushed me!”
Ye Zhirong looked at Ye Tian in astonishment, immediately recognizing his identity.
Ye Tian, too, recognized from Ye Zhirong’s voice that he was the man who had snatched the Ice Heart Awl from him!
“It’s mutual!
Weren’t you the same!
You used me to locate the Ice Heart Awl, only to ambush me and snatch it from my grasp!”
“…”
Ye Tian’s retort made Ye Zhirong involuntarily step back.
Back then, during their encounter, he had worn black clothing and covered his face, leaving no clues.
How his identity got exposed was a mystery…
How did Ye Tian manage to find him?
And more importantly, he even knew his name…
“King of the Night, just how did you track me down?”
Ye Zhirong asked coldly, whereas a smug expression crept onto Ye Tian’s face.
“Ye Zhirong, don’t underestimate the intelligence capabilities of the King of the Night!
Even though I fell for your plot, I have various channels to discern your identity because the moves you use are exclusive to the Ye family.
With that in mind, it wasn’t difficult to identify you!”
