CH 169

(The raws were all over the place, and some of the events happening weren't coherent. I just did the best effort I can to make it readable lol)

Ye Fei's experience value has risen!

Obviously, the stack of experience points that was progressively piling up had quickly reached an astounding number.

But after relishing in joy, he quickly returned to his calm and calculated demeanor.

For the time being, the most essential thing to focus on is his relationship with Mu Zijin.

At this moment, she was absolutely taken aback by Ye Fei's performance when she saw his flawless score flashed on the electronic monitor.

‘Such a high score!.’ Mu Zijin thought to herself. She didn't anticipate Ye Fei to get a perfect score, let alone be better at shooting than her.

Although she considered the thought of losing at first, Mu Zijin was extremely confident in her marksmanship.

However, confidence alone is insufficient to conceal the discrepancy in marksmanship between the two.

For women in the military, confidence and charisma are acquired during their service, but it enhances their cockiness when they participate in a shooting competition with a novice or someone they assume has never held a pistol in their lives.

From this point of view, Ye Fei did a very good job, as the increment of experience points proved it.

Still, the fact stood that she didn't expect for him to be proficient in shooting, so obviously from his amazing shooting prowess it suddenly surprised her.

"Since we’re done, let's go do something else?.” Mu Zijin suggested.

Mu Zijin's lovely face emphasized her pale and lovely skin, while her gaze was drawn to Ye Fei's figure, which she described as ‘charming’, as she replied, "I can't compare to you, but I'm interested in what other sports you're strong at."

Despite her complaints, the edges of Mu Zijin’s lips were lifted, indicating that she was in a pleasant mood.

"I was just lucky," Ye Fei answered enthusiastically, looking at her pouting expression. “You'll perform better than me next time, so why don't we come back another time to compare our marksmanship?.”

Even though his shooting was superb, Ye Fei thought that it was luck that allowed him to win against Mu Zijin just now. 

For Mu Zijin, the guns given by the gym were different from the regular ones she handled during her time in the military, so she expected to lose by only a little, not by a huge amount.

Still, just as she was about to nod her head in agreement, the sound of a phone rang in her pocket.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Mu Zijin reached into her pocket and hastily apologized for the unexpected call to Ye Fei.

"Hello?" she said as she tapped the answer option. "Who is this?."

A couple minutes later, after she hung up, the smile on Mu Zijin's face soon vanished, and an incredibly serious expression took its place.

Ye Fei also realized that something seemed to be wrong.

With that in mind, he asked in concern, "What's the matter?.”

"Wen Xiaoting was abducted," Mu Zijin stated flatly.

The news surprised Ye Fei.

Although this was not following the plot of the original story, it was nevertheless stunning to hear.

Mu Zijin's best friend is Wen Xiaoting, and the two have a wonderful friendship, and is also friendly with Ye Fei.

She was very cute and friendly every time they met, and Ye Fei had a positive opinion of her because of her attempts to match him with Mu Zijin.

In short, Wen Xiaoting is a very optimistic and happy girl with whom they are good friends, but she has suddenly been abducted!

"Why was Wen Xiaoting suddenly kidnapped?” Ye Fei rubbed his forehead and squinted his eyes.

"Things are a little tricky," Mu Zijin, who was already storming out of the shooting room, responded swiftly. “I need to find out where she is right now."

"I'll go with you!" Ye Fei answered lightheartedly.

Anyhow, Wen Xiaoting has helped him.

Ye Fei is upfront about his grudges and favors with several people.

Although Mu Zijin was aware of the risk, she intended to refuse his help when she overheard him say indifferently, "My martial art skills are not worse than yours, and I'm adept in shooting. I can definitely help.”

"Mhm, alright then, thank you for your help!.” Mu Zijin bowed and spoke with kindness. 

They didn't waste any time and left the Boxing Gym right away.

As soon as they stepped outside the door, Ye Fei hurried into his car and started the engine, while Mu Zijin entered his car as well.

Despite the fact that the two were still discussing how to find Wen Xiaoting, they responded quickly and with serious looks.

Ye Fei was well aware that the kidnapping was far from insignificant.

Although Wen Xiaoting's martial arts aren't as skilled as theirs, she is anything but a weak lady, hence ordinary people aren't her enemies!

Mu Zijin was also aware of this fact, which could imply that the origins of these kidnappers are far from simple.

More significantly, Ye Fei remembers the storyline of the original novel vividly.

It seems the emergence of the kidnapping occurred as a result of Ye Fei altering the plot, resulting in a butterfly effect.

"What exactly is the situation?" Ye Fei inquired softly.

Although Mu Zijin got the phone call, all she said was that Wen Xiaoting had been kidnapped.

In response to his question, she shook her head and explained, "I don't know the specifics. Just that a man said to meet at an abandoned electrical plant, and there was no mention of a money demand or anything of the type."

Ye Fei had a basic idea of the kidnappers' objective, which was to meet with Mu Zijin and threaten her family in order to secure their assistance in various problems.

The kidnappers were also aware of Mu Zijin's relationship with Wen Xiaoting.

Since they learnt of the meeting spot, he couldn't help but confess it was a good location since it is desolate and few people live or pass through there.

Knowing the situation was critical, Ye Fei slammed the accelerator pedal down, exclaiming, "Hang tight!."

“Okay!.”

Ye Fei didn't bother about the road conditions after pressing the accelerator, as he drove directly to Yanjing's eastern suburbs!

He drove as fast as the car could since the situation was urgent!

Ye Fei sped like a lunatic, ignoring the loud honking of other cars.
