My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Absolutely impossible!”

Duan Nanye couldn’t bother talking to his team any further and quickly rushed into the abandoned building.

In the end, after searching personally, he found no trace of Leng Wencheng, nor the remaining four top fighters.

”Damn it, they were clearly inside earlier, how could they just disappear into thin air!” Duan Nanye was extremely frustrated. If he had notified Ye Guichen immediately upon discovering Leng Wencheng, this uncontrollable situation wouldn’t have occurred.

Two of his team members were now held hostage, their lives unknown.

Ye Guichen felt something was off: ”Brother Duan, are you sure Leng Wencheng was really here earlier?”

”Absolutely, I even saw him through a window on the third floor.” Duan Nanye confirmed.

Ye Guichen thought for a moment, carefully observing the surroundings, but found no signs of departure.

The Leng Family Eight wears heavy armor. Though they can fight, they are not agile, and the ground around here is unpaved. If they left, there would surely be footprints.

But other than some chaotic footprints in front of the abandoned building, there were none elsewhere.

Given this, there was only one possibility: Leng Wencheng never left and was still inside the building.

However, despite searching thoroughly, they couldn’t find anyone...

Ye Guichen suddenly thought of a possibility: ”Does this abandoned building have a basement or anything like that?”

”Ah?” Duan Nanye was stunned, smacking his forehead: ”I was so rushed I forgot. This building was developed three years ago, and half of the lower level was set up as a basement. But because it was abandoned, the passage to the basement was shut long ago.”

As he spoke, Duan Nanye quickly headed towards the safety passage.

Originally there was an iron door there, now rusty with a similarly rusted large lock.

But now the large lock had been broken open.

”Damn it, chase them quickly!” Duan Nanye didn’t overthink and immediately ordered Dragon Teeth to pursue.

Ye Guichen stopped Duan Nanye: ”Where does this basement lead?”

”Where else could it go? The layout below is complicated, not just a sewer but there’s also an underground parking lot. I don’t know the specifics.” Duan Nanye said anxiously: ”No wonder those two of Leng Wencheng kept provoking me. They must have escaped with my two men earlier! Damn it, if we don’t chase now, we might lose them.”

Ye Guichen sighed: ”Based on what you’re saying, it’s been at least half an hour. Even if we chase now, we won’t catch up. Just have your men quickly check nearby surveillance. I’m worried Leng Wencheng might act recklessly.”

Duan Nanye had no other options and could only instruct part of his team to chase after Leng Wencheng while another part started checking nearby surveillance.

But given this is an abandoned building and in the outskirts, nearby traffic isn’t smooth. There is no surveillance within ten miles.

Checking surveillance beyond ten miles would greatly increase the search area.

It wouldn’t be easy to find Leng Wencheng’s trail quickly.

Ye Guichen didn’t chase but inspected the surroundings again.

When he approached another entrance to the underground parking lot, he found a lot of bloodstains.

Judging by the situation, it was likely from the person held hostage by Dragon Teeth.

But further searching showed the bloodstains only within a mile, with no traces beyond.

Ye Guichen stroked his chin and pondered.

Leng Wencheng wouldn’t let this go easily.

He lost two top fighters last night and used two more as bait today, seemingly not worried about losing the Leng Family Eight.

Moreover, since last night, Leng Wencheng hadn’t retaliated, and there were no traces of him around Wang Tianxing.

It wasn’t that Leng Wencheng was scared, but giving up was unlikely.

”No, something definitely isn’t right!”

The more Ye Guichen thought, the stranger it felt.

The Leng Family didn’t become the biggest family in Qinghe with simple methods.

Ye Guichen had a deep grudge with Leng Wencheng, and Wang Tianxing had a father-killing vendetta against him.

Both Ye Guichen and Wang Tianxing were mortal enemies to Leng Wencheng.

Leng Wencheng was now driven to madness, he wouldn’t allow Wang Tianxing to sleep peacefully.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Guichen still couldn’t understand Leng Wencheng’s other intentions.

Just as Ye Guichen was lost in thought, Duan Nanye approached with a solemn expression.

Noticing Duan Nanye’s unusual expression, Ye Guichen asked: ”What’s wrong? Found them?”

Duan Nanye shook his head: ”Just received a call from Leng Wencheng.”

”Hmm?” Ye Guichen was surprised, ”What did he say?”

”Damn, he threatened us. Said if Dragon Teeth intervenes again, he’d kill our people.” Duan Nanye’s fists clenched, eyes widened with anger: ”He also knew you were here and told me to relay a message.”

”What message?”

”He said to watch out, whether it’s Chen Ziran or your friends, one by one, he’d play with them. He said he knows you’re powerful but you can’t possibly keep everyone close to you all the time. Whenever you slip, he’d strike.”

Ye Guichen’s face darkened upon hearing this.

This was a blatant threat.

However, Leng Wencheng was not wrong.

Unlike many brutes who only know how to provoke, he knows how to avoid the spotlight.

If Leng Wencheng kept hiding and didn’t show up, it would be fine for a short term, but eventually, there’d be lapses.

Moreover, Ye Guichen couldn’t possibly bind all his close ones. Everyone had their own matters to attend to.

”Leng Wencheng, you’ve truly enraged me!” Ye Guichen’s whole demeanor turned icy, a terrifying aura spreading, making Duan Nanye shiver: ”Brother Ye, calm down first. I won’t let this go. I’ve already deployed more men to search, if there’s any clue, I’ll inform you immediately!”

”Leng Wencheng is far slyer than you think. He won’t let you find him easily.” Ye Guichen shook his head: ”Finding him today was due to his momentary carelessness. Now he’s prepared, and with two of your men as hostages, it won’t be easy.”

”What should we do?” Duan Nanye was at a loss.

Ye Guichen wouldn’t let Leng Wencheng roam free.

Leng Wencheng’s survival was a thorn in Ye Guichen’s throat, making him restless.

”I’ll confront him personally!” Ye Guichen patted Duan Nanye’s shoulder: ”Don’t act rashly next. If you push him too far, he might start killing indiscriminately.”

”But...” Duan Nanye was still worried.

Ye Guichen squeezed out a faint smile, his eyes glinting coldly: ”Relax, today will be his death anniversary!”
