Chapter 127: Chapter 106: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole Plan
The grand plan for Positive Rabbit’s reproduction has begun in full swing, yet Jiaying City is becoming increasingly unsettled.
Students have started to disappear, and the common thread among these missing students is that they have all participated in the Phoenix Cup and achieved notable results.
The disappearance incidents have all been reported to Chairman Wang.
Clearly, after receiving the hint from Y, Chairman Wang repeatedly emphasized to the principals of some schools to have someone accompany the students at all times.
Yet, these principals turned a blind eye to it, and now that students have gone missing, they start to panic.
"What on earth does this Resurrection Association want to do? Clearly, they are people of Flame Country, yet they joined such an evil organization."
"Using fellow citizens for a blood sacrifice, such a wicked deed, how did I end up facing this?"
"This is really tricky, extremely tricky. If the news gets out, it will definitely cause panic throughout Jiaying City."
Chairman Wang paced back and forth on the ground, his mood extremely agitated.
Key issue is the noise outside, making it impossible for him to calmly handle matters.
"Noisy, noisy, what’s there to be noisy about!"
At this moment, Chairman Wang was very annoyed, feeling like his head was about to explode.
Then, two people barged into Chairman Wang’s office.
"Wait, Chairman Wang is busy, you really can’t go in."
Secretary Liang tried to stop the two, but couldn’t.
Chairman Wang looked up and discovered that one of the two was Li Fugui, the patriarch of the Li Family.
The other was Zhang Long, the patriarch of the Zhang Family.
If these two join forces, the entire Jiaying City would tremble.
"What’s the matter with you two, barging in without notice?"
If Wang Jinyin is not given an explanation, he won’t let this rest!
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Wang Jinyin’s mind, and he understood the purpose of the two’s visit.
"Could it be that your children are missing too?"
Chairman Wang sighed and said.
"Too?"
"What’s going on?"
The blind student, you’ve grasped the crucial point.
Chairman Wang’s face was as troubled as a bitter melon at this moment.
"The students who ranked in the top ten in the Phoenix Cup in our city are disappearing one by one."
"This probably isn’t an accident; we are investigating now."
"According to mysterious intel, it’s the work of the Resurrection Association. They want to transfer these students’ talents to the Saint of the Resurrection Association through a blood sacrifice."
"So, I’m not surprised by Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi’s disappearance."
"Our Pet Beast Union will help investigate the whereabouts of these people."
"Rest assured."
Although Chairman Wang spoke so calmly, he actually had no confidence in his heart.
But he was also afraid that the infuriated Li Fugui and Zhang Long would turn the entire Jiaying City upside down.
"If only there were bait that could attract the Resurrection Association, we could follow the thread and catch them all in one go."
Upon hearing Chairman Wang’s muttering, Li Fugui quickly thought of someone.
"Chairman Wang, there’s one person who hasn’t been taken."
"If we use him as bait, wouldn’t our children come back?"
When Li Fugui said this, Chairman Wang hadn’t reacted yet.
Who? Chairman Wang was a bit confused, who else was a fish that slipped through the net?
"Isn’t Ye Bai still in the Shen Mountain Middle School’s research institute?"
"Now we can only rely on him."
"He is the hope of all the parents of the missing students."
Li Fugui and Zhang Long exchanged a look, deciding to personally ask Ye Bai for help.
No matter how outrageous Ye Bai’s requests may be, Li Fugui would agree.
Because his child is Li Fugui’s lifeblood.
"Wait for me, let’s talk to Ye Bai together."
Chairman Wang sighed, now it was his turn to step in.
Hopefully, his old face would be of some use.
Inside the research institute.
Before the master and apprentice duo could rejoice in successfully cultivating the Positive Rabbit,
Li Fugui, Zhang Long, and Chairman Wang had already arrived.
But the three remained expressionless and silent.
Zhang Lingxue immediately felt strange: "What’s wrong with you three, got any unspoken troubles?"
"Speak up, let me have a laugh."
Finally, Chairman Wang couldn’t hold back and said to Zhang Lingxue: "Ahem, we just want to borrow Ye Bai."
"Borrow Ye Bai for what?" Zhang Lingxue’s mind was filled with question marks.
"It’s like this, the situation is a bit complicated."
Chairman Wang explained the recent events to Zhang Lingxue.
"Hmph, you want my apprentice to be cannon fodder?"
Zhang Lingxue crossed her arms and sneered.
"Our people from the Pet Beast Union will protect Ye Bai throughout, ensuring he returns safe and sound."
Chairman Wang wiped the cold sweat from his body and assured Zhang Lingxue.
"Promise, your promise is the least reliable."
"However, I do feel sorry for those missing classmates."
"Alright, our experiments have progressed quite a bit, so I’ll be the one to protect Ye Bai."
"Ye Bai, what do you think?"
Zhang Lingxue’s gaze finally fell on Ye Bai.
Ye Bai pondered for a moment.
"Helping classmates is something I must do."
"I just want to understand what exactly happened."
"Like how Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi disappeared, I want to figure out these issues first."
"Only by uncovering how they went missing can we come up with a precise plan to address it."
Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi’s families are not short on money, and they have but one heir each, so their security issues are undoubtedly a prominent concern.
Therefore, he is very curious about how the enemy managed to abduct Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi.
"Li Chen disappeared out of thin air in the training room inside his family compound."
"We checked the surveillance in the training room and found Li Chen’s shadow flicker before both Li Chen and Boxing Rabbit disappeared."
"Even the security didn’t react."
Li Fugui said through gritted teeth.
"It’s the same on my end."
"Zhang Yiyi was taking a walk in her family’s garden, and suddenly she saw a flicker and then disappeared without a trace."
Zhang Long quickly said.
"I remember, during the beast tide outbreak, my grandfather, who is also Principal Zhang, substituted for President Wang to guard the Secret Treasure Vault."
"At that time, there was someone skilled in shadow traversal attempting to sneak into the vault."
"It was my grandfather who spotted this person and drove him away."
"According to my grandfather, that guy seemed to be the shadow of the Evangelical Association, a Tier Four expert very skilled in manipulating shadows."
Zhang Lingxue’s words plunged everyone into silence.
Could it be that the Resurrection Association and the Evangelical Association have joined forces?
This is somewhat terrifying. How could the Resurrection Association and the Evangelical Association, who can’t stand each other, possibly ally?
Everyone thought this speculation was a bit unbelievable.
"Or perhaps the Resurrection Association also has people skilled in shadow traversal."
"Ye Bai, are you willing to be the bait, to draw out the big fish behind this?"
"If you are willing to do this, the two percent profit from Sunflower Cleaning Company for the Pet Beast Union won’t be necessary anymore." President Wang gritted his teeth since this was a risky affair, but fortune favors the brave.
"If you’re willing to do this, Li Family’s Sky Market will be open to you." Li Fugui made a decision.
"If you’re willing to do this, I have a millennia-old Dragon Crystal Stone that I can give you." Zhang Long said with some reluctance.
This is full of fatherly love, willing to give up many things for his child.
"Haha, no need to be so polite, I never said I wouldn’t agree."
"But I acknowledge your kindness, uncles, just remember to send it over."
When the three heard the first part, they thought Ye Bai was just being polite, but upon hearing the latter part, it was clear Ye Bai wasn’t being polite at all.
But that’s fine, accepting the stuff ensures Ye Bai will carry out the task.
"This is a locator."
President Wang handed it to Ye Bai, but Ye Bai didn’t take it.
"President Wang, I believe Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi also had lots of locators on them, yet they can’t be found now."
"This indicates the enemy possesses the ability to block locators."
"Having this on me doesn’t mean much; it might even increase the risk of exposure."
Hearing Ye Bai’s words, President Wang furrowed his brows.
"If that’s the case, how do we track your location?"
Ye Bai smiled, gesturing to the Tier Two Sunflower King.
"As long as I have its clone with me, Sunflower King will naturally be able to sense it and come find me."
"So don’t worry, it’s not a difficult problem."
"Teacher, since I’m going to be the bait, I’ll leave the experiments to you for now."
Ye Bai said very subtly.
The appearance of Positive Rabbit is absolutely confidential and shouldn’t be disclosed.
Only after the research progresses enough will this secret be made public.
"Alright, I’ll handle the lab."
"Don’t worry, teacher can multitask."
"Your safety is in our hands."
Zhang Lingxue said with a smile.
Since the plan was laid out, Ye Bai could only return to the Cultivation House; he planned to record his recent research findings.
The night was deep.
Ye Bai was swiftly documenting the experimental report under the desk lamp.
At this moment, Ye Bai’s shadow started to stretch and lengthen.
"Didn’t expect this guy’s vigilance to be so poor?"
"How is the president of Jiaying City doing his job? When you know we are abducting people, you should enhance security."
"This makes me feel like there’s no challenge at all, it’s really boring."
At the instant the shadow appeared, Ye Bai had already sensed its presence, and his Eye of Insight immediately felt a wave of gray mist emanating from beneath his feet.
"The plan to lure the snake out of its hole was very successful."
"Next, I’ll wait for this guy to successfully abduct me."
"How should I pretend to faint later?"
The shadow didn’t notice at all that the Cultivation House, which should have been lively, was devoid of any pet beasts tonight.
Ye Bai seemed to be waiting for the shadow to appear all along.
