436: Chapter 436 Global Hunt for You!
Black Widow was shaking with anger: "Stop giving me that bureaucratic talk! I don't care! That plane must return today!"
The embassy staff member remained unhurried.
"Ma'am, I can understand how you feel, but everything must follow the rules, right?"
"You say there's a suspect on that plane, but who is the suspect? What crime did they commit? Is there an Interpol Red Notice?"
"If none of these exist, forcing a return based solely on your word doesn't align with international practice."
"Furthermore, the pilot has already stated that fuel is insufficient. If a forced return causes an accident, who will be responsible for the lives on that plane?"
"Will you?"
"Can you even afford that responsibility?"
Black Widow was left speechless, choked by his words.
What could she say?
Could she say the suspect is named Ye Chen and he killed the Second Master of the Manluodi Family?
The problem was, which of these matters could be brought into the light?
The Manluodi Family was a financial tycoon; once the news of the killing went public, it would only bring shame upon the family.
And even if she did...
Ye Chen was the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion within the Dragon Group. Would Dragon Country ever hand such a person over to them?
Once they knew the whole story, they would likely use even more excuses to brush her off!
Rage!
She was beyond furious!
If anger could kill, she would have already killed Ye Chen! Killed the embassy staff! Killed the pilot of that plane!
All of these people deserved to fucking die...
Seeing her silence, the embassy staff member's tone became even gentler.
"Ma'am, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"I wish you a pleasant life."
Dudu— dudu—
Holding the receiver, Black Widow stood there completely petrified.
Pleasant?
Pleasant my ass!!!
She slammed the phone down violently, turned around, and looked at her subordinates who were as quiet as cicadas in winter. Her chest heaved violently.
"What are you looking at?"
"All of you, get the hell out of here!!!"
Her subordinates, as if granted a general amnesty, scrambled and crawled out of the office.
Black Widow was left alone in the office.
She slumped into her chair, staring at the ceiling, her mind a complete blank.
She lost.
She had lost completely.
A total defeat, leaving her with no power to fight back!!!
Black Widow suddenly laughed.
That smile looked worse than crying.
"Ye Chen... you're ruthless, you're truly ruthless..."
She muttered to herself, her eyes filled with complexity.
There was anger, there was resentment, and there was a trace of something she herself was unwilling to admit...
Admiration.
That young man had single-handedly played the entire USA like a fool!!!
Suddenly.
The office door was pushed open.
A subordinate poked his head in and asked cautiously, "Big Sister, the Manluodi Family called again, asking if the murderer has been caught..."
Black Widow didn't turn around, only speaking coldly.
"Tell them the murderer has escaped the USA and is currently under international pursuit."
"Tell them to... wait for news."
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, but silently withdrew.
Black Widow looked out the window and murmured to herself.
"Ye Chen... you'd better pray that I never cross paths with you again in this life."
"Otherwise..."
She paused, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"I will definitely kill you with my own hands."
...
Magic City International Airport.
Flight MU582 was parked by the jet bridge. The cabin door opened, and passengers filed out.
Ye Chen and Yan Qingwu blended into the crowd, walking unhurriedly toward the exit.
The two had already removed their disguises and returned to their original appearances.
As they passed through customs, the staff member merely glanced casually at their passports before saluting and letting them through.
After all...
It was only natural for citizens of Dragon Country to return home.
As for whatever wanted notice the USA had sent over?
Sorry, didn't receive it.
The two left and reached the arrival hall, taking a deep breath of Magic City's air.
Yan Qingwu gave a long stretch, looking very comfortable.
"The air at home is still better!"
"What kind of idiots are those people who say the air in the USA is sweet?"
"Over there in the USA, it smells like coffee everywhere. It's sickeningly sweet."
Ye Chen glanced at her: "Are you homesick, or are you just missing Magic City's Xiaolongbao?"
Yan Qingwu chuckled.
"Both!"
Just as she finished speaking, her phone suddenly began to vibrate frantically.
She pulled it out to see the screen covered in missed calls and unread messages.
Yan Qingwu was stunned for a moment and tapped on the top message, which was from her father.
[Dad: Daughter, are you guys okay? Things got so crazy over there in the USA?]
[Dad: Black Widow demanded the flight return, but the airport didn't agree. Nicely done!]
[Dad: Give me a call once you're home, don't make me worry.]
After reading Yan Huifeng's message, the expression on Yan Qingwu's face became strange.
She looked up at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, my dad just messaged saying Black Widow's side demanded our flight return, but the airport refused."
Ye Chen wasn't surprised at all when he heard this.
He shrugged and said calmly, "Even if the airport agreed, Old Master Xuanyuan wouldn't."
Yan Qingwu was taken aback, then realization dawned on her.
Right!
How could that old man Xuanyuan Huo allow Ye Chen to be intercepted halfway back?
That guy was famously protective of his own!
She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I have to say, this time was truly thrilling!"
"You have no idea, I didn't even dare to sleep on the plane just now, fearing the USA would send fighter jets to intercept us."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes.
"You're overthinking it. They wouldn't dare."
"A flight from Dragon Country—they wouldn't dare touch it even if they had ten times the courage."
Yan Qingwu nodded and was about to say something...
Ye Chen's phone, which he had just turned on, suddenly rang.
He pulled it out to see Xuanyuan Huo's number flashing on the screen.
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth curled up slightly as he answered the call.
"Old Master, how's the surprise? Big enough?"
There was two seconds of silence on the other end before Xuanyuan Huo's annoyed voice came through.
"You brat, you call this a surprise?"
"I told you to get the key, not to poke a hole in the sky!"
Ye Chen looked innocent.
"I didn't poke the sky. I just poked the Second Master of the Manluodi Family."
"Don't tell me you aren't secretly happy; he was one of the biggest drug lords in the world!"
"Besides, they were the ones who provoked me first."
"That Second Master insisted I give him a slap. I'm a helpful person, so I just satisfied his request."
Xuanyuan Huo: "..."
Helpful person?
Satisfying him?
You call slapping someone to death 'satisfying' them???
However...
To be fair.
When he got the news, it did feel great!
After all.
Most of the anti-drug police officers who sacrificed their lives every year were connected to this family. This could be considered collecting a bit of interest.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Fine, fine, stop being glib."
"Did you get the key?"
Ye Chen patted his pocket: "It's on me, perfectly intact."
Xuanyuan Huo breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Keep it safe for now, and we'll talk once the heat dies down!"
He paused, then added another sentence.
"But you really caused quite a stir this time. The USA has already applied pressure through diplomatic channels."
"The Manluodi Family has even put out word that they will hunt you across the globe."
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Let them come. My hands have been itching lately anyway."
Xuanyuan Huo was momentarily speechless and sighed helplessly.
"You brat..."
"You really don't know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth."
"But rest assured, on the soil of Dragon Country, they won't be able to make any waves."
"As long as you don't go abroad, they can't do anything to you."
"I said so!"
Ye Chen chuckled: "Old Master, you're generous. I like hearing that."
Xuanyuan Huo snorted, his tone carrying a bit of pride mixed with a touch of schadenfreude.
"By the way!"
"Regarding the Martial Arts Alliance and the Shenwu Alliance you asked me to watch, someone has indeed made a move."
Ye Chen's footsteps paused, a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Who?"
Xuanyuan Huo took a deep breath and explained word by word.
"The Great Elder of the Shenwu Alliance and the Wang Family from the Martial Arts Alliance have met up in Zhejiang Province."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curling up.
"Give me an address. I'll go join the fun."
Xuanyuan Huo asked irritably.
"You just got back, your seat isn't even warm yet, and you're running off again?"
"The situation with the USA hasn't even settled. Can't you just stay quiet for a couple of days?"
Ye Chen shrugged innocently.
"Old Master, it's not that I'm not staying quiet. They've delivered themselves to my doorstep. If I don't go take a look, wouldn't that be disrespectful?"
"Besides..."
"I have to take the initiative!"
"I can't just wait for them to come looking for trouble, can I?"
Xuanyuan Huo was left speechless, then spoke helplessly.
"Fine, fine, you're right about everything."
"I'll send the address to your phone. It's at a private club in the suburbs of Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province. They should have dispersed by now..."
"But you brat, take it easy. Don't go making another big scene."
"Zhejiang Province isn't Magic City. The situation there is very complex."
Ye Chen chuckled: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Xuanyuan Huo rolled his eyes.
"You know what you're doing?"
"If you knew what you were doing, would you have slapped the Second Master of the Manluodi Family to death?"
