764: Chapter 764 [Preparing to Leave] 764: Chapter 764 [Preparing to Leave] A group of people shifted their gaze away from Bai Jie, not showing much interest as no one could imagine someone hiding under the hem of her skirt.
Bai Jie’s heart kept thumping furiously, as if it might fly right out of her throat, but fortunately, no one noticed.
That allowed Bai Jie—and of course Ye Chenfeng hidden under her skirt—to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Lord Izumi Taigan, Ye Chenfeng seems to have disappeared.
How can he just vanish into thin air?
Is he a ghost?” Izumi Taigan’s subordinate couldn’t help but say.
Izumi Taigan’s face showed disbelief: “Impossible, how could he escape like a ghost?”
“Lord Izumi Taigan, we’ve searched everywhere we should have, but there’s no sign of him!” the subordinates answered helplessly.
“How is that possible?”
Izumi Taigan looked incredulous, and his eyes swept through the corridor.
“Hmm?
What’s this?”
There lay a piece of chocolate, quiet and still in the hallway.
Izumi Taigan walked over and picked it up.
“This kind of chocolate isn’t served at the party.
To find it in the hallway…”
Izumi Taigan murmured to himself, his mind replaying the recent events, but when he recalled the strange behavior of Bai Jie, he immediately made the connection.
“Follow me, I know where he is!”
Izumi Taigan cried out excitedly, leading his men toward the restroom.
But Ye Chenfeng and Bai Jie were not heading for the restroom, they were headed elsewhere.
“You should hurry and leave!
I can’t help you anymore!” Bai Jie rushed to say to Ye Chenfeng.
“Little Bai Jie, next time we meet, I’ll repay you!” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
“Hurry up and go!”
Ye Chenfeng raised his hand towards Bai Jie and chuckled, “Very smooth, very moist.”
“Gah!”
In an instant, Bai Jie’s cheeks turned red.
“Lord Izumi Taigan, he’s simply not here.”
Izumi Taigan led his men on a fruitless search, as Bai Jie was not in the restroom.
When Izumi Taigan returned to the party, he saw Bai Jie there and immediately questioned her, “Miss Bai, the person who was with you?” His tone was very unpleasant, catching Bai Jie off guard.
“Mr.
Hojo, your men are being quite rude, aren’t they?” someone from the Ryukawa Family immediately objected.
“Step down!”
Hojo Hideki promptly ordered coldly, and Izumi Taigan gave Bai Jie a glare before leaving unwillingly.
Ye Chenfeng made haste all the way, quickly leaving the area.
He had only intended to enjoy a free meal, but ended up encountering Bai Jie and the Yamaguchi-gumi, which turned out to be quite an adrenaline rush.
Luckily, he was quick-witted enough to hide beneath Bai Jie’s skirt; otherwise, he would surely have had an encounter and stood no chance if any real toughs showed up.
After leaving Ginza, Ye Chenfeng, under the cover of night, made straight for a dock he had scoped out in advance.
It was a little-known dock, secluded and often used by people sneaking in and out as well as smugglers, making it a bustling place, especially at night when many would set out by boat.
It would rain in two hours, and Ye Chenfeng had his timing down, planning to simply blend in and board a boat to leave.
Ye Chenfeng hid and observed for a while, noting that people were already preparing.
These folks had become seasoned old hands, aware of every little stir of wind and bend of grass.
“Everyone, pick up the pace!
The Yamaguchi-gumi will come for an inspection soon.
They’re not interested in our stuff, but if they happen to find something, we’ll be the ones to suffer,” a boss yelled.
Indeed, after a short while, a convoy arrived, and a large group of people got off the vehicles, quickly surrounding the area.
Without a doubt, these were members of Yamaguchi-gumi coming for an inspection.
Ye Chenfeng quietly left the place, knowing he could have rushed down and seized the boat before these people arrived, but doing so alone would be too difficult.
He was unfamiliar with the sailing routes, lacked crew members, and had insufficient supplies, all of which would pose significant challenges for Ye Chenfeng.
Therefore, Ye Chenfeng preferred to stealthily blend in with their group and let them take him away on their ship.
…
It was the largest seaport in Jiangnan, Divine Land.
Chu Renkuang, Chu Qingxue, and even Lu Wanqing were anxiously waiting there.
Soon, a cruise ship approached.
Under their hopeful gaze, Chu Qingfei walked down from the cruise ship, accompanied by the little fellow, Heavenly Eye.
“Qingfei!”
Chu Qingxue could no longer control her emotions, her tears flooded, and she rushed forward to embrace Chu Qingfei.
“Grandfather, sister, Wanqing, I am fine now, you don’t need to worry about me anymore,” Chu Qingfei forced a cheerful smile, but inside she was consumed with worry.
Ye Chenfeng was still missing, and Chu Qingfei couldn’t truly be happy about that.
It was Phoenix who had told her not to inform Chu Qingxue and the others, so she tried her best to appear cheerful.
“Where’s Ye Chenfeng?”
Before Chu Qingfei could speak, Lu Wanqing was the first to ask.
With everyone looking at her, Lu Wanqing felt very embarrassed.
“My brother, he ran into an old friend and won’t be back for a few days, so don’t worry,” Chu Qingfei said.
“An old friend?” Chu Qingxue’s face showed concern, clearly not convinced.
“It’s good that she’s back, it’s good that she’s back.
Jintian Corporation actually dared to lay a hand on my granddaughter, I will completely ban them in Divine Land!” The elder Chu was obviously furious.
Chu Qingfei held onto the elder Chu’s arm: “Grandfather, I’m fine, aren’t I?
Let’s go home!”
Chu Qingxue looked towards the cruise ship’s exit, hoping Ye Chenfeng would come down from there.
“Let’s go, Qingxue, you’re so worried, but it’s not like Ye Chenfeng won’t come back,” Lu Wanqing said, pulling Chu Qingxue away.
After everyone left, the heads of God of Killing and two others slowly appeared, and Shi Buddha had mostly recovered.
Phoenix hadn’t come back together with them; she was searching for Ye Chenfeng.
To prevent being discovered by these people, Ye Chenfeng had gone to a place far from the docks.
He stumbled upon a temple there, built in the style of Japanese Zen, which, although similar to the temples in Divine Land, had a different charm, for the two countries were inherently different.
He found a hidden spot and waited.
This was behind the temple, on a reasonably high mountain, covered in dense forests.
“Crack!”
An hour later, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky, and soon, a downpour began.
Ye Chenfeng silently praised the staff of Tokyo’s meteorological station; their forecast was spot on.
“Hmm?
What’s going on?”
Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to leave, he noticed several sneaky figures appear behind the temple, along with a transport vehicle, as if they were preparing to move something out from the temple.
Ye Chenfeng realized that this was no ordinary temple but merely a shell.
