Chapter 363: In Trouble
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Ye Chen looked at the time. It was already eleven o’clock at night.
It was time to leave.
When he stepped out of the formation of Xuemei Palace, he noticed a Maybach parked not far away. There was no way this was by coincidence in such a remote place, so he immediately knew that it belonged to Xiang Chengdong.
The car door opened and Xiang Chengdong hurriedly walked out.
“Mr. Ye, you… You actually came out?”
All this while, Xiang Chengdong had been on tenterhooks.
He was very clear about the power of Xuemei Palace. It was impossible for ordinary people to come out alive after entering its headquarters…
However, Ye Chen had returned unharmed.
Most importantly, there was still a strong scent of blood on his body, which meant that he had killed a number of people.
Could it be that Ye Chen had really suppressed Xuemei Palace? All by himself? How was this possible?
Ye Chen did not need to explain further. He only asked, “Have the people from Ghost Prison contacted you recently?”
Xiang Chengdong shook his head.
“As you know, Mr. Ye. She’s already told me the time and place. Well have to wait for 24 hours.”
Ye Chen sat down in the back seat of the Maybach and said, “Send me to Capital City University.”
“Yes.”
The car door closed, and Ye Chen was left alone to cultivate. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing to circulate the Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. Surprisingly, it was Wei Ying’s mother.
He wanted to ignore the call, but after thinking about it, he picked up.
“What is it?”
Ye Chen’s calm voice rang out.
Wei Ying’s mother let out a sigh of relief when she heard the call connect. She quickly asked excitedly, “Senior, I wanted to ask whether Ying’er was with you. I called her at night, but the place she was at was very noisy. She said that she would call me when she got home, but until now, 1 haven’t received a call from her. I’ve tried calling her several times, but no one has picked up, which is why I called Senior…”
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He suddenly remembered that Wei Ying had invited him to some activity organized by the princ.i.p.al when she delivered breakfast to him in the morning.
He had rejected the invitation, so Wei Ying probably went to the event alone.
“There’s a university event today, so that might be the reason. I’m outside now, but I’m heading back now, so 1’11 help you check on her later,” Ye Chen said.
“Thank you, Senior! Thank you so much!”
The call ended there. Ye Chen closed his eyes and continued to circulate his cultivation technique.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Chen got out of the car. Instead of returning to his own apartment, he went to the opposite unit and knocked on the door.
However, there was no response.
He even used his spiritual sense to check if anyone was home, but there was no result.
“Still not back?”
Ye Chen recalled something and took out a doc.u.ment from the
Samsara Graveyard.
There was a business card attached to the doc.u.ment with the princ.i.p.al’s phone number on it.
He dialed the number on the business card. Not long after, a lazy voice was heard, “Who is it? It’s so late at night yet you still can’t let me sleep?”
Ye Chen frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
The event was organized by the princ.i.p.al, but the princ.i.p.al was actually sleeping?
“I’m Ye Chen.”
These simple words immediately woke the princ.i.p.al up!
He even changed his tone and said to Ye Chen, “That… What happened?”
He knew Ye Chen’s background, and knew that if he was not careful around Ye Chen, he would lose his position. Therefore, he had to tread carefully.
“Where are you now?” Ye Chen questioned.
“I’m at home. 1 drank a little today, and then went home to catch up on sleep. Did something happen on campus…”
“Wei Ying didn’t come back.”
The princ.i.p.al was startled. He thought about it and said, “The event ended at around 9pm. I remember Teacher Wei was dragged away by a few female teachers to the karaoke. I think Wu Fan and Zheng Rui also went with them after that. They are all young teachers, so it’s normal for them to stay out late. Chief, you…”
“The address!” Ye Chen ordered.
The princ.i.p.al was shocked, but he still said honestly, “It should be the capital’s Qianhua Plaza’s Gloria…”
The call hung up there.
Originally, a gathering of a few teachers was nothing worth worrying about, but if Wu Fan and Zheng Rui were involved, the likelihood of something going wrong increased.
He hoped that nothing would happen to Wei Ying.
No matter what, Wei Ying was one of his few friends in the university, and she had always tried to be kind and welcoming to him.
At this moment, the phone in Ye Chen’s hand rang.
The caller ID showed that it was Wei Ying.
Just as he was about to answer the call, the call was canceled.
Ye Chen’s eyes were cold as he disappeared into the darkness.
No matter what, it was already midnight, so it was not safe for a girl to be outside in a seedy place like the capital. Since he had promised her mother to take care of her, he would bring her back.
Capital City, Qianhua Plaza, sixth floor, Gloria.
Supreme Room 007.
Wei Ying’s face was red, and she was a little drunk.
She did not like to drink, and she did not like karaoke sessions, but today happened to be the birthday of a teacher from the English department. Since this person had begged her to come, she had relented.
After all, they were from the same department, so she had to at least do that.
However, after she came, she regretted it. It was clearly that person’s birthday, yet everyone in the group kept asking her to drink. She had refused a few times, and even wanted to leave, but the birthday boy said that she had to drink to give him her blessing.
Somehow, after drinking that one cup, she became drunk and her stomach felt very uncomfortable.
After that, she rejected the next toast from all of the other members of the group and sat quietly in a corner. She felt that her legs were a little weak, so she knew that it was impossible for her to leave now.
She could only wait for the drunkenness to subside a little before going back.
However, not only did the tipsy feeling not show any signs of dissipating, it was getting worse. She lay on the sofa and felt a little dizzy. She subconsciously dialed her emergency number, hoping that Ye Chen would come and pick her up.
Ye Chen had set up this emergency number beforehand. However, before it could connect, a figure appeared in the private room.
It was Wu Fan!
Not only that, but there was also a tall man behind Wu Fan. The man had an extraordinary aura and was dressed in a suit. The way he looked at her made her feel very uncomfortable.
Wu Fan canceled the call and put the phone out of Wei Ying’s reach.
“Teacher Wei, are you drunk? Since I’m going back, why don’t I send you back to the teachers’ apartment?”
Wu Fan smiled. To outsiders, he looked very gentlemanly.
Wei Ying thought about what happened last night. Why would she let Wu Fan send her back? She snorted coldly and said, “There’s no need for that. Give me my phone!”
Wu Fan shrugged.
“Teacher Wei, isn’t the phone right there? You can just take it yourself.”
Wei Ying reached out to grab her phone, but her body felt weak and she could not even maintain her balance..
