476: Chapter 471: Hungry Wolf Missing?
After snuggling for a while, Yun Xinyan lifted her head and blinked as she looked at Ye Tian.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Tian looked at Yun Xinyan with surprise, her expression didn’t seem like she was trying to act coquettish…
“The Hungry Wolf seems to have disappeared.
A few days ago, I needed a small favor from the Hungry Wolf, so I called him, but his phone was turned off.”
“What!?”
Although to Yun Xinyan it might have seemed an ordinary trifle, Ye Tian was somewhat shocked to hear it.
The Hungry Wolf was a former assassin who, after following Ye Tian, began to serve him diligently.
So, in order to serve Ye Tian better, the Hungry Wolf’s phone was never supposed to be switched off; he had to be ready on call at all times.
What’s more, before Ye Tian left for the United States, he had instructed the Hungry Wolf to protect Yun Xinyan and assist her as much as possible if she had any needs.
But now, the calls to the Hungry Wolf were going unanswered, which was a very important matter for Ye Tian!
“It’s okay, honey, maybe he went home for a vacation!”
Even though he realized the seriousness of the situation, Ye Tian had to comfort Yun Xinyan, who, reassured by Ye Tian’s words, stopped worrying about the Hungry Wolf and fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Tian also slept, and upon waking up, went outside the villa to call the Hungry Wolf.
“The number you have dialed is turned off…”
Indeed, that was the message he got from the phone, Ye Tian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, it seems that there indeed was a problem with the Hungry Wolf.
The Hungry Wolf was not just his subordinate now; acting on Ye Tian’s suggestion, he had taken control of Jiangcheng’s underground forces.
The Hungry Wolf was an important figure for Jiangcheng.
After a dramatic change within Wang Bingbing’s family, Ye Tian had instructed Wang Bingbing to get in touch with the Hungry Wolf, and now it seemed he might have caused a misunderstanding…
“The Hungry Wolf is the main figure in Jiangcheng’s underground forces, why is Jiangcheng still peaceful in his absence?
This is not a good omen!”
Ye Tian muttered to himself, then left the villa, with growing concern in his heart…
When he arrived at the Hungry Wolf’s headquarters, Ye Tian was actually stopped!
“Who are you?”
The person who stopped Ye Tian was someone Ye Tian didn’t recognize.
Generally speaking, the Hungry Wolf’s subordinates all recognized Ye Tian; they wouldn’t dare to stop him but instead would fawn over him with smiles on their faces.
So, being stopped today, Ye Tian could already tell from this alone that something must have happened to the Hungry Wolf!
“I’m here to find the Hungry Wolf!”
Ye Tian declared directly.
Upon hearing this, the person at the door immediately let out a cold laugh.
“The Hungry Wolf?
This place hasn’t been the Hungry Wolf’s turf for a long time!
Now, this is Brother Iron’s territory!”
“Brother Iron?
Which Brother Iron?
Never heard of him!”
In his speech, Ye Tian did not take the so-called “Brother Iron” seriously at all, which annoyed the lackey at the door.
“You haven’t even heard of Brother Iron’s name?
Brother Iron is now one of the top figures in Jiangcheng!”
As he spoke, the lackey yelled towards the house, and then more than a dozen other lackeys came out from inside.
“This guy who doesn’t recognize Brother Iron, let your body remember who he is!”
Just because of a disagreement, they were ready to resort to violence.
Ye Tian couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.
This bunch of thugs were so petty; it seemed they had no prospects.
The more than a dozen lackeys surrounded Ye Tian, preventing him from escaping.
They each held clubs and had ferocious expressions on their faces.
“Heh heh heh, think you can run?
Not so easy!”
One of the lackeys said viciously, his tone full of arrogance.
“Brothers, get him!”
At one shout, the group charged at Ye Tian, raising their clubs high to smash down on his head.
Facing such a fierce attack, Ye Tian just smiled faintly and then, with a swift movement, he dodged the blows of the thugs!
“Eh?
Where is he?”
The lackeys were very surprised.
They thought Ye Tian was easy prey to be slaughtered, but unexpectedly, he managed to avoid them in such a tight space and vanished without a trace.
“Woah~~~~~~”
Just when everyone was unsure where Ye Tian had gone, one of the lackeys suddenly let out a dreadful scream.
Following that, the lackey’s body slumped down and lay on the ground…
Upon closer inspection, the lackey had been knocked down by a fist from Ye Tian, causing shock among the crowd, while Ye Tian once again appeared before them.
“Take him down!”
Someone roared because Ye Tian was too formidable, completely beyond their expectations.
The clubs swung wildly, but they didn’t even come close to touching him.
Ye Tian was as slippery as an eel, utterly unpredictable.
“Bang!”
Another heavy punch and one more lackey was knocked to the ground!
This time, the underlings of Brother Iron were somewhat cowered, having not expected this newcomer to be so powerful, someone beyond their usual understanding.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…
Ye Tian threw several more punches, and several more lackeys fell to the ground, unable to get up.
These lackeys were no match for Ye Tian; in just a few dozen seconds, the more than a dozen who had been aggressively attacking him were reduced to less than half.
The remaining underlings all became frightened.
“Monster, it’s a monster!”
One of the underlings started yelling, and the club in his hand immediately dropped to the ground!
Facing a monster like Ye Tian, no matter how many people you have, it’s just a beating waiting to happen.
“He’s nearly as strong as Brother Tie…”
Another underling exclaimed and then gave up resisting.
Seeing how domineering Ye Tian was, the remaining underlings dared not continue to fight and surrendered their weapons one after another.
Ye Tian couldn’t be bothered with bullying these underlings anymore and asked directly, “I’ll ask one more time, where is the Hungry Wolf?”
This time, none of the underlings dared to flaunt their bravado in front of Ye Tian…
“Big, big hero…
We really don’t know where the Hungry Wolf is!”
An underling stammered, and from his facial expression, it was clear he truly knew nothing about the Hungry Wolf’s whereabouts.
“What about the others?”
Ye Tian looked around.
Those swept by his gaze suddenly felt a “thump” in their hearts.
“Don’t know, don’t know…”
“We really don’t know…”
All the underlings shook their heads, their words betraying no intention of hiding anything from Ye Tian, but knowing Ye Tian had come here, they realized he wouldn’t leave easily.
“Don’t know?
Well, I have to see whether you truly don’t know or are pretending!”
With those words, Ye Tian grabbed an underling by the neck.
The underling immediately felt the threat of death itself.
“Big hero, I really don’t know, please spare me…”
The underling begged continuously, but Ye Tian’s grip began to tighten, making it impossible for the underling to breathe.
“I, I only heard Brother Tie say the Hungry Wolf was captured!”
The underling yelled out, and Ye Tian finally released his hand.
“Captured?
Where was he taken?” Ye Tian asked again, his voice filled with a chilling coldness.
“Big hero, I really can’t answer you any further.
Only Brother Tie knows about this matter!”
The underling said with a dismal face, having just narrowly escaped death, he certainly didn’t want to have his neck squeezed by Ye Tian again.
“Brother Tie?
Who is he?”
It seemed that this place was already dominated by the so-called “Brother Tie,” but Ye Tian had no idea where this Brother Tie had come from.
“Iron Head Brother Tie, he is our boss.
As for where the Hungry Wolf is, Brother Tie has never told us.”
The underling added, and Ye Tian tossed him aside.
“Since Iron Head knows, then call Iron Head out for me!”
Ye Tian said loudly, and one of the underlings replied:
“Big hero, Brother Tie isn’t here right now, he’s gone out on business and won’t return until tonight!”
“Is that so?
Then I’ll just have to wait quite patiently!”
With that, Ye Tian casually walked into the house and sprawled himself onto the boss’s seat, and the underlings could only watch with suppressed anger.
After all, with Ye Tian’s formidable combat skills, none of them could defeat him.
But behind Ye Tian’s back, the group of underlings whispered to each other—
“This fearless guy, really thinks he’s invincible?
Just wait until Brother Tie comes back, he’ll make sure to beat him to a pulp!”
“Exactly, once Brother Tie gets back, we must avenge the beating he gave us during the day!”
“Better yet, cripple his limbs so he can’t ever stand up again!”
…
Of course, for all their cursing, the underlings could only offer up good tea and meat, and attend to Ye Tian, the ruthless man.
When the afternoon came, Ye Tian suddenly felt it wasn’t getting him anywhere to keep waiting like this, especially since every second it took to find the kidnapped Hungry Wolf increased the danger.
So Ye Tian dialed Wang Bingbing’s number and asked directly on the phone, “Bingbing, with your current intelligence network, can you locate the Hungry Wolf?”
But the answer Wang Bingbing gave to Ye Tian was a bit disappointing:
“Sorry, I can’t find him.”
“Alright.”
Upon saying that, Ye Tian hung up the phone.
After all, because of the upheaval in the Wang Family, Wang Bingbing’s status was now quite awkward.
Inside the Ice and Snow Bar, there were many two-faced people, and the moment it became known that Wang Bingbing had lost power within the family, they would definitely turn on her.
To contend with the current Wang Family Clan Leader Wang Long’s power, and also keep an eye on any potential unrest that could happen at any moment inside the Ice and Snow Bar!
For the formidable Wang Bingbing, there were still many things to be done, so it was understandable that the intelligence network inside the Ice and Snow Bar was temporarily incapacitated.
Since Ye Tian couldn’t get any leads on the Hungry Wolf’s location from Wang Bingbing, he could only continue to wait.
Afternoon, evening…
Ye Tian had waited for a total of seven or eight hours here until finally, the “Brother Tie” mentioned by the thugs returned that evening.
