58: Chapter 58: Unexpected Discovery 58: Chapter 58: Unexpected Discovery Ye Chenfeng carefully searched the chairman’s office and discovered that a piece of wood under the desk was hollow.
He pried it up and was greeted by a modern high-tech safe.
The safe operated with an electronic password entry.
If the password was entered incorrectly three tis, the contents within would ignite and burn.
This high-tech safe was considered top-notch in this era.
However, in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, it was nothing special!
Let’s not forget that his soul hailed from a world five hundred years in the future, where such safes could only be considered the trash among trash.
He placed his right palm on the password keypad, infusing Soul Force through his palm into the electronic chanism of the safe, intending to destroy the electronic password system with his Soul Force.
About a minute later, a slight sound ca from inside the safe, followed by the door automatically springing open—Ye Chenfeng’s thod had been effective.
The first thing that caught Ye Chenfeng’s eye inside the safe was a photograph that he couldn’t believe was real.
The photo depicted a massive tree root.
To the average person, this was nothing more than an ordinary tree root, but Ye Chenfeng knew it to be an Illusory Tree Root.
In theory, such a plant should have been extinct, and many manuscripts recorded that the Illusory Tree Root possessed imnse dicinal value, capable of enhancing human physical abilities.
In other words, could the Illusory Tree Root possibly enhance Ye Chenfeng’s Soul Force?
In his past life, Ye Chenfeng was quite the dical researcher and had only learned of the existence of the Illusory Tree Root through casually reading ancient texts.
The Illusory Tree Root was an extrely peculiar plant, consisting solely of roots and stems without growing a trunk and leaves like other trees, always nesting in the soil as it grew.
Whether or not the Illusory Tree Root could enhance his Soul Force, Ye Chenfeng was determined to have it.
His Yun Teng Mushroom had been destroyed, after all, and he deserved so compensation, right?
Aside from the photo of the Illusory Tree Root, there was also a hefty stack of docunts in the safe.
When Ye Chenfeng began to read them, his expression changed in an instant.
The docunts outlined a shocking and terrifying plan: soone was actually planning to spread a new type of virus in Huaxia Country that could degrade the intelligence of normal humans to that of a two to three-year-old.
If this virus were truly spread, what would beco of Huaxia Country?
Ye Chenfeng couldn’t imagine who would dare to carry out such a heinous act.
No wonder Tianwu Group had been acquiring all the major companies in Huaxia Country; they intended to use their influence to spread the virus!
“Who exactly is pulling the strings behind Tianwu Group?” Ye Chenfeng frowned deeply.
Although he wasn’t particularly patriotic, he had the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang flowing through his veins, and his family lived in Huaxia.
He had to prevent this atrocity no matter what.
There was one thing that Ye Chenfeng couldn’t understand.
With such a major operation underway, shouldn’t Huaxia’s authorities have sensed sothing was amiss?
They really were a bunch of good-for-nothings who took the country’s money without accomplishing anything.
Beneath the docunts was a note pressed with contact information and a detailed address.
With this note, Ye Chenfeng could find the mastermind behind this horrific plan.
Just as Ye Chenfeng was preparing to leave, billowing smoke seeped through the cracks of the office door.
Ye Chenfeng hurriedly opened the door, only to be greeted by an overwhelming blaze.
It was impossible to even consider escaping via the elevator or the stairs.
It must have been during the ti Ye Chenfeng had entered the chairman’s office that soone discovered his presence, which is why they decided to set the place on fire, burning him alive along with all the evidence.
Ye Chenfeng closed the door to the chairman’s office again and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.
He picked up a chair nearby and smashed the glass, letting the cool night breeze pour into the office instantly, making his clothes flutter noisily.
Looking down from the window, the height from the twelfth floor was nothing to scoff at.
If an ordinary person fell from this height, they would undoubtedly turn into a at pancake.
“Damn their ancestors, they’re actually forcing to jump from a building?
I’m set on getting the Illusory Tree Root, and your lives are also on my list now,” Ye Chenfeng swore under his breath, feeling extrely annoyed.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chenfeng used his Soul Force to adhere tightly to the window, and in an instant, his body dropped like an iron ball straight down.
If soone were witnessing this scene, they might think a movie company was filming.
Such scenes often occur in action films, after all.
As he rapidly approached the ground, Ye Chenfeng bent his legs on the glass and perford an abrupt stop, the glass and the soles of his shoes screeching “screech, screech” from the friction.
With just one ter from the ground, Ye Chenfeng kicked off the glass and shot towards the ground, tumbling five or six tis upon landing to mitigate the pain from the fall.
“Mr.
Ye, are you alright?” Fang Nanxiang, who had been waiting outside, hesitated whether to rush in or not upon seeing thick black smoke billowing from the skyscraper; after all, Ye Chenfeng had instructed him not to act until he received a phone call.
Just as Fang Nanxiang resolved to dash inside, he suddenly saw Ye Chenfeng sliding down from the building’s glass façade.
He didn’t know what to make of it.
This wasn’t a film shoot!
Ye Chenfeng actually slid down from the twelfth floor to the ground using the glass?
And he was completely unhard?
Who would believe such a story if it were told!
Ye Chenfeng stood up from the ground and waved his hand, saying, “Bro Fang, I’m fine.
I just wonder which son of a turtle set the fire?”
“Mr.
Ye, did you really slide down from the twelfth floor on the outside of the glass?” Fang Nanxiang couldn’t help but ask, even though he had seen it with his own eyes.
Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, “Bro Fang, do you also want to try it out?
Actually, it’s quite simple.
As long as you get the hang of it, sliding down from a fifty or sixty-story building isn’t a problem either.” Ye Chenfeng in his past life had even slid down from a ninety-story building to complete a mission!
Fang Nanxiang shook his head repeatedly, saying, “Mr.
Ye, I do not possess such skills.”
Kidding aside, if one didn’t end up as Spider-Man and instead beca a corpse, it wouldn’t be worth it at all.
After all, Fang Nanxiang was no freak like Ye Chenfeng.
When he was Ye Chenfeng’s age, he was rely a greenhorn in the special forces!
So yeah, comparing yourself to others can really kill your spirit!
Sotis it’s best not to compare, especially with those exceptional individuals who make you look up in awe.
