Chapter 866: They did it!
"Fang Bai, what’s wrong with you?" Ye Wumei asked, her concern as fine as a hair, having noticed Fang Bai’s off expression.Fang Bai didn’t make a sound. His face solemn, he walked back to the broken willow trees, crouched down, and examined them closely. After a long moment, he let out a long sigh and said complexly to Ye Wumei, "I think...I know who the kidnapper is..."
"Who?" Ye Wumei clasped her small hands tightly, her eyes full of tension as she looked at Fang Bai.
"It’s Ling..." Fang Bai hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Let’s go, I’ll tell you after we get back!"
With that, he took Ye Wumei’s hand and quickly left towards the Ye Family Manor.
Liu Donglin watched their retreating backs, scratched his head, and muttered to himself, "Just by having a look at the scene, he knows who the kidnapper is? Can it be that miraculous?"
He wanted to call Fang Bai back and ask for clarity, but he didn’t have the guts, afraid that he might displease Fang Bai so he just continued to stay at the scene with a few subordinates.
Along the way back to the Ye Family Manor, Ye Wumei could tell Fang Bai was in a bad mood, so she didn’t push for answers. She knew that Fang Bai would certainly tell her anything she needed to know.
"You...you’re back so soon? Did you find out anything?"
Upon entering the Ye Family Manor, Sun Lin hurried out to greet them at the villa door and asked eagerly, her face full of expectation.
"Mom, Fang Bai said...he knows who kidnapped dad..." Ye Wumei whispered, holding her mother’s hand.
"Really? That...that’s great..." Sun Lin said, both shocked and delighted, turning to look at Fang Bai with a trembling voice, "Who is that person? As long as we know who it is, our Ye Family will marshal all our strength to rescue Old Ye!"
Ye Wumei said, "Mom, you can’t expect Fang Bai to stand outside and talk to you, right?"
Sun Lin quickly replied, "Right right, let’s talk inside! We’ll talk inside!"
The three of them entered the living room and sat down on the couch. Sun Lin personally poured a glass of water for Fang Bai, then sat opposite him, waiting for him to speak.
"If I haven’t guessed wrong, the person who kidnapped Uncle Ye is very likely to be two of my friends!" Fang Bai said slowly under the attentive gaze of Sun Lin and Ye Wumei.
"Ah?" Sun Lin and Ye Wumei were both stunned, their faces filled with incredulity.
"Your friends? Do I know them?" Ye Wumei asked anxiously.
In Ye Wumei’s memory, Fang Bai’s friends were all good and righteous people with impeccable manners; none of them were morally bankrupt or extremely violent. How could any of them become kidnappers?
Fang Bai sighed and said, "I haven’t introduced those two people to you yet. However, you must have heard of the name of their organization..."
Ye Wumei asked, "What organization?"
Fang Bai said word by word, "Wrathful Beauties!"
"Ah?"
Sun Lin and Ye Wumei were stunned again, as they had both heard of this notorious murder group.
What puzzled the mother and daughter was how Fang Bai had become friends with a member of the "Wrathful Beauties" organization?o call the sisters, but to his surprise, both seemed to have vanished into thin air and couldn’t be reached.
Fang Bai then contacted the Dragon Maiden in Yanjing and told her about the situation.
The Dragon Maiden, upon learning that it was the Linghu sisters, who had joined "Dragon Guard," responsible for the kidnapping of Ye Xing, was also surprised. She informed Fang Bai that the Linghu sisters had left Yanjing many days ago and seemed to have mentioned visiting their master before departing.
"They actually returned to the Polar Ice Palace?"
Upon hearing that the Linghu sisters had gone to visit their master, Fang Bai was stunned.
Fang Bai had heard from the Linghu sisters that the "Polar Ice Palace," where their master resided, was located on the mysterious Antarctica Continent. The sisters had also requested Fang Bai to spare some time to treat their master’s injuries caused by cultivation deviation, to which Fang Bai had agreed.
Moreover, the Linghu sisters had mentioned that before Fang Bai’s visit to the "Polar Ice Palace" to treat their master, they would return to the "Polar Ice Palace" once more to make the necessary arrangements. Fang Bai didn’t expect that they would kidnap Ye Xing before this trip.
It was unclear whether the sisters had already headed for the Polar Ice Palace; if they had, had they taken Ye Xing with them?
No wonder he couldn’t contact the sisters. If his guess was correct, they should be on a plane to Argentina at that moment.
To reach the Antarctica Continent, one typically travels first to Ushuaia, the southernmost town in Argentina, and then sets sail from there. This route is taken by many who go on expeditions and tours to Antarctica.
As for what the Linghu sisters intended by kidnapping Ye Xing, Fang Bai was clueless. He could only find out after meeting the sisters.
"Fang Bai, where is the ’Polar Ice Palace’?"
Ye Wumei asked with a worried face. Obviously, the words "Polar" made her think of the Earth’s North and South Poles, which are no-go zones for humans.
