Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Parachuting
“Eliminate the traitor, clean and decisive.” After the two guards left, Ye Shikai took a light sip of whiskey and said indifferently, Luo Shiqi was exactly that kind of woman, one second she could bashfully give you an incense bag for safety, the next she could kill soone clean and decisively without any fear.
“Speaking of which, did your people really see him in the suburbs?” Ye Shikai lit a cigarette and asked curiously.
“Where did that happen, I just said that randomly earlier, just to probe him.” Luo Shiqi said with a smile.
“It seems he’s not a good undercover.” Ye Shikai sighed, acting as a mole requires not only acting skills but also exceptional psychological resilience, yet Hao couldn’t do it. If he hadn’t drawn his gun just now, he might not have been counter-killed by Luo Shiqi.
“You are right, but at least there’s one less mole by my side.” Luo Shiqi said coldly, “It seems it’s ti to teach those old guys a lesson.”
“I rember there’s a person from the Wang Family, also in your line of work, right?” Ye Shikai spoke in a light tone.
“Wang Hu, seems like he can’t wait anymore.” Luo Shiqi’s teeth clattered while she ntioned the na Wang Hu, her hatred for him bone-deep. Wang Hu had repeatedly opposed her openly, and his underhanded tactics were incessant, utterly intolerable.
“Still, investigate it, figure out who sent the mole.” Ye Shikai thought for a mont before speaking.
“What, you think it wasn’t Wang Hu who bought him off?” Luo Shiqi said with a laugh.
“If it were Wang Hu, that wouldn’t be too scary. What’s frightening is if we have other enemies.” Since ancient tis, visible enemies are easy to avoid, but hidden ones are hard to guard against. Wang Hu was Luo Shiqi’s number one competitor, no surprise there, but in the Underworld, there’s never everlasting obedience, or more precisely, everyone has aspirations to dominate, it’s just that so show their ambition openly while others bide their ti.
“Alright, let handle these matters, you’re still unfamiliar with Yanjing’s power dynamics.” Luo Shiqi repeated, Ye Shikai understood that Luo Shiqi didn’t want him to worry too much. In reality, the pressure that Ye Shikai was bearing was much greater than Luo Shiqi’s, and ever since Luo Shiqi’s last abduction, Ye Shikai realized that without a powerful cultivator as protection, her safety was in jeopardy, not to ntion Su Ziqing and Su Qingyu; these people feared not even the Hidden Guards, which showed their combat strength.
“Be very careful, especially now when I am not around.” Ye Shikai admonished again.
“Aye, I got it.”
…………………
The next day, Yanjing Airport.
“Are you sure you won’t say goodbye to Ziqing?” Before leaving, Ji Qian said to Ye Shikai. Since the incident with Su Qingyu, Su Ziqing had ignored him. Yes, he was to bla for it. Su Qingyu got hurt because of him; Su Ziqing’s resentnt, her hatred, Ye Shikai didn’t care. This ti, he headed to South Arica personally to bring Su Qingyu back to consciousness.
“No need, actions speak louder than words. As long as I can find the awakening fruit, everything will be easy.” Ye Shikai smiled slightly. Aside from himself, Ji Qian, Soul Destroyer, the Demoness, and thirty elite Netherworld Palace Hidden Guards embarked on this trip. Thus, Ghost had organized three transport planes, divided into three teams as a precaution.
“Alright, as long as we quickly find the awakening fruit, we can co back.” Ji Qian nodded, everyone was in their jungle expedition gear, quite eye-catching among the passengers, especially Ji Qian. Usually, she wore a white gauze dress, graceful and delicate like a fairy, but now she donned a tough-looking outfit, making passengers turn their heads in admiration. If it weren’t for the intimidating presence of the Hidden Guards, they probably would have co up to flirt.
“You look good in today’s outfit.” Ye Shikai glanced at Ji Qian’s attire and said with satisfaction.
“Do you think I’m just a pretty face?”
“Lord, Lord Moon God, the private plane is ready, let’s go,” a Hidden Guard approached and announced at that mont.
“All personnel, prepare to depart,” Ye Shikai glanced back at his group and commanded.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
……………………
“Do we need to land the plane for refueling?” Over the Pacific, Ye Shikai asked the pilot.
“Lord Ghost had the transport plane modified in advance, the fuel is enough to fly to South Arica.”
“Good, keep updated on the progress.” Ye Shikai patted the pilot’s shoulder.
“Yes, Lord.”
“What’s the matter, you seem a bit tense?” Ji Qian sat next to Ye Shikai and remarked lightly, handing him a beverage.
“Yes, that’s an area we’ve never been to, and we don’t know anything about the conditions there.” What worried Ye Shikai the most was how to search for the tallest tree. After all, it was a vast rainforest, boundless at a glance.
“How are we going to find that largest tree?” Ye Shikai murmured.
“Ghost has prepared equipnt for . It can locate several of the tallest trees. Then we can go find them one by one,” Ji Qian said with a smile.
“That’s good, but I keep feeling like it’s a needle in a haystack,” Ye Shikai said, arms behind his head, reclining in his chair.
…………………………
Four hours later.
“Lord, we are about to fly over the rainforest.” At this ti, the pilot announced to Ye Shikai over the intercom.
“Be aware of the surrounding situation, inform the two wing planes to protect the main plane,” Ye Shikai commanded through his headset.
“Yes.”
“Bang.” Suddenly, the plane jolted hard, and the lights inside flickered off for an instant, making everyone stand up abruptly.
“Bang.” Another jolt, even more intense than before, Ye Shikai had a sinking feeling and imdiately rushed to the cockpit.
“What’s happening?” Ye Shikai bellowed.
“Lord, the plane’s electronic equipnt is being interfered with by magnetic anomalies,” the pilot spoke anxiously, clearly facing a difficult situation.
“Can you handle it?” Before Ye Shikai finished speaking, the whole plane tilted drastically, nearly causing him to stumble and fall. At the sa ti, all the electronic equipnt on the plane shut down, the severe turbulence made everyone’s hearts rise to their throats.
“Lord, all electronic equipnt has been disrupted; we have to make an ergency landing,” the pilot shouted as the plane nosedived sharply, Ye Shikai clung tightly to a nearby handrail.
“Damn it,” Ye Shikai looked at the scene below, filled with rainforest trees, realizing that making an ergency landing here was akin to suicide.
“Everyone, prepare to parachute,” Ye Shikai turned his head and yelled to the people behind him.
