386: Chapter 381: The Condition of Yun Xinyan 386: Chapter 381: The Condition of Yun Xinyan At this moment, Bei Dong revealed an expression of immense gravity!
“Ye Tian, prepare to meet your death!”
At Bei Dong’s command, two assassins charged with lethal intent towards Ye Tian.
These assassins, handpicked by Lin Tao, were the elites of the elite; thus, Bei Dong was confident that for these assassins, taking Ye Tian down would be more than manageable.
However, just as Bei Dong was basking in self-importance, an assassin took a heavy punch to the gut from Ye Tian, rendering the assailant unconscious.
“What…”
Bei Dong’s laughter ceased.
The assassins he deemed invincible couldn’t even withstand a single punch from Ye Tian.
At this time, Ye Tian, distressed by his failure to find the Companion Fruit, was unable to find relief.
The assassins and Bei Dong came to him just in time to serve as an outlet for venting Ye Tian’s frustrations.
Ye Tian didn’t hesitate; with punches and kicks, the few assassins posed no threat to him and were swiftly taken down…
Of course, being in the middle of the street, Ye Tian couldn’t kill them in public, so he had somewhat held back.
Even so, the assailants found themselves questioning their life choices after suffering a severe beating…
Could there really be someone this formidable in the world?
It completely shattered the assassins’ worldviews!
The most shocked of all was naturally Bei Dong himself.
Ye Tian’s combat power, was it not freakishly high?
As the assailants were knocked down one by one, Bei Dong thought of fleeing, but Ye Tian would not let him escape, blocking his path directly.
“Smack!”
Ye Tian, palm ready, fiercely slapped Bei Dong’s face, which had only just recovered, causing it to swell once again.
“Smack smack smack smack~~~~~~~~~”
And Ye Tian did not stop there; a succession of over a dozen slaps made Bei Dong’s face swell as if stung by hornets.
“My life…”
Bei Dong could only beg for mercy, but Ye Tian was far from finished.
“Your Chinese is too poor, I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
Saying so, Ye Tian continued his unyielding succession of slaps.
Now, Bei Dong’s face wasn’t just swollen; the entire face had been slapped black by Ye Tian, and apart from the eyes, the other facial features were indistinguishable.
Bei Dong’s face was a complete abstract painting…
The onlookers were utterly baffled.
They had initially thought that Ye Tian would be killed by these assassins, but to their surprise, his fighting prowess was so astonishing that he not only defeated the assassins but also gave Bei Dong, the instigator, a brute beating.
Moreover, Ye Tian’s ruthlessness was no less than that of the assassins.
Of course, Ye Tian currently had no time to deal with Bei Dong and the assassins, for he had a far more important matter at hand—finding the Companion Fruit.
If he couldn’t find the Companion Fruit soon, the toxin of the Seven Emotions Fruit in Yun Xinyan’s body would flare up, leading to unimaginable consequences…
After mauling Bei Dong beyond recognition, Ye Tian left the scene amidst the astonished stares of the onlookers.
Since there was no news from Wang Bingbing for the time being, what about Hungry Wolf?
Thus, Ye Tian dialed Hungry Wolf’s phone!
“Have you found the Companion Fruit?” Ye Tian asked coldly.
“Not yet, I have instructed my men to look for it.
Right now, they are scouring Jiang City for the Companion Fruit.
I’ve also sent people to the deep mountains on the outskirts of Jiang City, but to no avail.”
Hungry Wolf answered truthfully, leaving Ye Tian helpless.
As the saying goes, haste makes waste.
His own frantic search for the Companion Fruit was almost causing an uproar throughout the city, which was not entirely a good thing.
But at this moment, Ye Tian could no longer care about that!
“Keep looking, even if it costs everything, we must find it!” commanded Ye Tian.
“Understood!”
Hungry Wolf responded gravely, and then Ye Tian hung up the phone.
Indeed, as Ye Tian feared, his order to Hungry Wolf, Wang Bingbing, and their subordinates to find the Companion Fruit had alerted Lin Tao, who was lurking in the shadows.
Although Lin Tao didn’t know why Ye Tian needed the Companion Fruit, since the other party was so eager to find it, there must be something going on.
Therefore, Lin Tao was also pleased.
Perhaps, he could find Ye Tian’s Achilles’ heel through this!
“No wonder that guy was absent-minded, he even spared Bei Dong’s life!
Turns out he was looking for some Companion Fruit but couldn’t find it anywhere!
This time, I will surely use the Companion Fruit to kill that guy!”
Lin Tao said fiercely.
Behind him, a bodyguard spoke up, “Young Master Lin, that person named Ye Tian is definitely not simple!
With just one command, all the underground forces in Jiang City obey him.
Plus, Wang Bingbing’s Ice Snow Bar’s power is also at Ye Tian’s disposal.
It’s clear that this Ye Tian is someone extraordinary in Jiang City!”
Both Lin Tao and his subordinates had initially underestimated Ye Tian.
They had thought that Ye Tian was just a minor security guard for Yun Corporation, good for nothing but fighting.
But now it seemed that Ye Tian had formidable power in Jiang City, not to be taken lightly.
“What’s there to fear about this local snake of Jiang City?
Compared to the Lin Family, they are but ants!”
Lin Tao did not agree with his bodyguard’s words.
Even if Ye Tian had great power in Jiang City, he was no match for the Lin Family.
In his view, Ye Tian’s life was as insignificant as that of an ant.
Just as Lin Tao was vehemently venting, another bodyguard brought Li Chengfei in.
“Young Master Lin, I didn’t expect to find you hiding in this place.
If I had known earlier, I would have arranged a better room for you.”
Although the place where Lin Tao was hiding was very secretive, the environment wasn’t too good.
It wasn’t fitting for the third young master of the Lin Family Corporation.
Upon another look at Lin Tao’s arm, even though it was nearly healed, it still looked quite shabby…
“Li Chengfei, how did you find this place?”
Lin Tao noticed that Li Chengfei’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
Although Li Chengfei intended to ingratiate himself, he was not part of the Lin Family Corporation, and Lin Tao did not want others to see him in such a sorry state.
“Young Master Lin, rest assured, I have no ill intentions!”
With a flattering smile, Li Chengfei spoke as Lin Tao was currently at a disadvantage.
But a malnourished camel was still bigger than a horse.
After all, he was the third young master of the Lin Family Corporation, and Li Chengfei could not afford to give up the opportunity to curry favor with Lin Tao.
“Moreover, I brought something good for Young Master Lin today!”
As he spoke, Li Chengfei handed a small box over to Lin Tao.
Lin Tao took the box and opened it to find a dark red berry inside.
“This is…”
Lin Tao was surprised as he didn’t know what the berry Li Chengfei brought him was.
With a smile, Li Chengfei explained, “Young Master Lin, you may not know, but in the deep mountains of Jiang City, there is a highly poisonous red berry that turns a person into a vegetative state within seven days after consumption, an incurable condition with current medical technology.
However, strangely enough, always growing near this red berry is a dark red berry.
Because they grow together, it is also known as the Companion Fruit.”
“This is the Companion Fruit?”
A cunning smile appeared on Lin Tao’s face.
He hadn’t expected Li Chengfei to bring him a Companion Fruit at this time.
Wasn’t this the exact fruit Ye Tian was turning the whole Jiang City upside down to find?
“Hehehe, so you know about this too!”
Lin Tao glanced at Li Chengfei, expressing great satisfaction with his actions.
“The fact that Ye Tian has his men searching the whole city for the Companion Fruit is common knowledge.
This time, the Companion Fruit happened to fall into my hands, so I’m offering it to you, Young Master Lin.
Are you pleased?”
Li Chengfei sought recognition for his deeds, and naturally, Lin Tao had nothing but good things to say.
“Of course I’m pleased!
Li Chengfei, you did a very good job this time!” Lin Tao said triumphantly.
“Since this fruit has fallen into my hands, there’s no way I will ever give it to that guy Ye Tian.
I want to drive him insane with desperation!
This fruit can even become an important bargaining chip for me.
When the time comes, I can use it to blackmail Ye Tian and force him to submit!
Hahahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~”
Lin Tao laughed heartily, and his followers, including Li Chengfei, all looked at him with joy.
This time, even if Ye Tian were formidable, he would be powerless…
While Li Chengfei was handing over the Companion Fruit to Lin Tao, Ye Tian was using his clairvoyant ability to search throughout the city.
Ye Tian had extraordinary vision, not only seeing great distances but also penetrating walls, so he could search a vast area!
But even so, searching for the Companion Fruit alone proved too difficult for Ye Tian…
After scanning most of Jiang City, Ye Tian didn’t find even a trace of the Companion Fruit, not even a berry similar to it.
Since the Companion Fruit exists in the deep mountains outside of Jiang City, it was highly likely that those who harvested it would return to Jiang City.
However, there was uncertainty.
If the harvester indeed took the Companion Fruit to another place, then even with Ye Tian’s searching abilities, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack…
After two hours of straining his eyes searching for the Companion Fruit, Ye Tian felt quite fatigued and had to stop and rest for a while.
With his mind completely focused on the Companion Fruit, Ye Tian hadn’t gone to work at Yun Corporation.
He was a bit worried.
Since he couldn’t find the Companion Fruit for the time being, he decided to return to the company to check things out.
Back at Yun Corporation, Ye Tian overheard two employees whispering…
“What on earth happened to the president?
She clearly notified everyone to meet at eleven in the morning, and we all waited in the conference room for an hour before she arrived.
Then she said the meeting was supposed to start at twelve.
Did she misspeak, or did we all hear wrong?”
