Chapter 142: The Bai Family's Plea

Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief, wondering what all the fuss was about. Bai Yaoyao wasn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed; she was always running off somewhere, and if she went missing, it was likely just because she’d wandered off to play or sneak a snack somewhere.

"Ninth Senior Sister, don't worry. My Third Senior Sister wouldn't be kidnapped by villains. Even villains would find her too annoying to deal with, right?"

Hearing Ye Fei’s dismissive tone, Zhou Danzhuang became anxious. "Ye Fei, she really is gone. She was wearing the tracking bracelet I gave her, and I warned her never to take it off. But now, I can't find her signal."

Ye Fei’s heart sank. It seemed some kidnappers weren't afraid of how annoying Bai Yaoyao could be. "Senior Sister, don't panic. I’m on my way."

He made up a quick excuse to Xie Yanzi, slipped into the restroom, and used sword-flight to reach Zhou Danzhuang.

Zhou Danzhuang, who had just put down her phone, stared at Ye Fei in silence for a full minute.

"You... were you nearby just now?" she asked, stunned.

Ye Fei smiled smugly and flashed a peace sign. "I’m Master’s disciple, after all. Did you forget that we can fly on swords?"

Zhou Danzhuang felt a sense of relief. It seemed Ye Fei was ready to carry on their master's legacy. She patted his head. "Not bad, not bad. You really are Master’s fine student and my good junior brother. Such a good boy!"

Of all the three senior sisters, only Zhou Danzhuang treated him like a child.

"Let’s go, Senior Sister. Time to find my annoying Third Senior Sister."

According to Zhou Danzhuang, Bai Yaoyao had been home all morning. She had been checking the tracker every hour, but an hour ago, the signal simply vanished. Since the villa was empty, Zhou Danzhuang concluded that Bai Yaoyao had been kidnapped.

"Don't worry, we'll find her," Ye Fei said softly.

With such a handsome and capable junior brother by her side, Zhou Danzhuang felt more at ease than ever.

In a city as large as Hangzhou, finding someone was no easy task. Since the North Forest Sect had retreated, no one had dared to mess with Bai Yaoyao for a long time. Had she provoked some powerful figure again?

"Senior Sister, has Third Senior Sister offended anyone lately?" Ye Fei initially suspected that Bai Yaoyao’s own mischief had led her to cross a martial arts expert, in which case being silenced would be a logical outcome.

Zhou Danzhuang couldn't help but laugh. She patted Ye Fei’s shoulder. "Your Third Senior Sister has a sharp tongue, but not enough to provoke a martial arts master. Besides, she’s too pretty; no one would go that far."

Even if they didn't kill her, she might still be... compromised, right? Ye Fei’s expression shifted. These senior sisters belonged to him; he couldn't let someone else take advantage of them for nothing.

"Come on, let’s go find her."

Ye Fei and Zhou Danzhuang headed to the villa’s community center to check the surveillance footage, but the security guard simply handed them a note.

"If you want to find her, come to the Rainforest Park on the outskirts."

Straight to the point—this was definitely a kidnapping. Ye Fei sighed, then suddenly grabbed the guard by the collar. "What did the person who gave you this note look like? And how did you know it was us looking for her?"

The guard was left speechless, his face contorted in pain. Seeing this, Zhou Danzhuang quickly urged Ye Fei to let go and asked in a gentler tone, "There are so many people coming and going here; how did you know it was us?"

"Someone was in the room just now and told me to give it to you two directly. But as soon as you showed up, you grabbed my throat—where was I supposed to get a word in?"

Ye Fei felt a bit awkward. He coughed, turned, and rushed out, but the area was empty, and there wasn't a shadow in sight.

"Is anyone there?" Zhou Danzhuang followed him out.

"Sorry, Senior Sister. I was impulsive."

"It's fine. Let's go to the Rainforest Park and see. That’s likely where she’s being held."

Along the way, Ye Fei couldn't wrap his head around it. Since the North Forest Sect’s failure, few would dare bother Bai Yaoyao. Who was this foolhardy person acting against common sense?

Bai Yaoyao’s father, Bai Lin, was a man who cared only for money. That was why she had been on the run, but even so, there was no reason to kidnap her. It was likely some wealthy suitor who wanted to marry her.

The Liu family was a prominent clan in South China. Marrying a female celebrity was nothing to them; many actresses would kill for a chance to enter the Liu family, but his senior sister was desperate to escape them.

The Rainforest Park was in the suburbs of Hangzhou. It took over two hours to drive there. Looking at the desolate park, Ye Fei and Zhou Danzhuang couldn't help but feel a tinge of worry.

"Bai Yaoyao is terrified of mosquitoes," Zhou Danzhuang said, expressing her concern. Ye Fei was stunned; it seemed that being around Bai Yaoyao lowered everyone's IQ.

"Senior Sister, we should be worried about her safety, not whether she’s scared of mosquitoes!" Ye Fei said, heading into the park alone.

The park was devoid of scenery, and the rainy weather made everything look even gloomier. There was nothing of note along the way.

"Senior Sister!"

Rounding a corner, he saw Bai Yaoyao tied to a tower crane.

"Senior Sister!" Ye Fei shouted. Just as he was about to fly up to rescue her, he was blocked by a man.

"Want to save her? Do you?"

The man was thin and sallow-skinned, looking like he lacked vitality.

"Not really. Master Liu, you have quite the hobby, tying up your own fiancée to play around."

He was about to hurl an insult when he noticed Zhou Danzhuang behind him. The man’s eyes lit up with lust. "Well, well. Who is this beautiful lady? Could it be the Ninth Junior Sister?"

Ye Fei quickly stepped in front of Zhou Danzhuang. "She is my senior sister, not yours! And let Bai Yaoyao go."

The man threw his head back and laughed. "Let her go? Why? She’s my fiancée; I can do whatever I want with her. And who are you?"

"My name is Ye Fei, Bai Yaoyao’s junior brother. Regardless of your grievances, you can't hurt her, can you?"

Master Liu glanced at the person on the crane and sneered. "She refused to sleep with me, so I can do whatever I want. Those were Bai Yaoyao’s own words. I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"

This senior sister was truly a handful. Ye Fei sighed. "Let her down first. Can we talk this over?"

Master Liu nodded triumphantly. "Right, right. That’s what I was thinking! But now, seeing this little junior sister here, how could I just walk away? If she stays with me for the night, I promise not to bother Bai Yaoyao again. How about it?"
