Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 37 - 37 33 Calling for Help

37: Chapter 33: Calling for Help 37: Chapter 33: Calling for Help After work, Ye Fan, of course, failed to ask Lu Xiaoman out for dinner and drove home on his own.

Upon arriving home, the well-decorated dining room already had five or six dishes on the table that were a feast for the senses.

Unsurprisingly, these dishes weren’t made by the nanny, Aunt Liao, but by a full-time chef.

This chef only needed to cook one dinner a day, yet Li Zhaojun paid him 8,000 yuan a month.

After washing his hands and face, Ye Fan came out, and so did Li Zhaojun.

The two of them sat at the dining table.

Ye Fan had thought that she had specifically asked him to come home for dinner to discuss something, to at least have some interaction.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun was preoccupied with eating the whole time, not uttering a single word.

Whenever he made a bit too much noise while eating, she would immediately sweep a look of disgust and disdain his way.

Thus, dinner was a gloomy affair for him.

Even though the dishes were exquisite and upscale, they couldn’t compare to the homely deliciousness of a simple stir-fried peasant dish at Mingxuan Pavilion.

After dinner, instead of going out to a bar, Ye Fan rested at home for a while, took a bath, and then sat down on the living room sofa on the first floor to watch TV.

It was a little after nine in the evening, and Ye Fan was engrossed in the television when his mobile phone, left on the sofa, suddenly rang loudly.

While watching TV, he reached out unhurriedly to pick it up.

Upon seeing the caller ID, it was actually Lu Xiaoman.

“Haha, could Sister Xiaoman be missing me?” he thought with some satisfaction as he answered the call.

“Sister Xiaoman…” he called out with a smile.

To his surprise, a weak voice came from the other end, “… Ye Fan, save me… I’m at the Jinwang Night Club on Seven Happiness Road… in the Peach Blossom Land private room… I’m so drowsy… might have been drugged by He Jiaqiang…”

Immediately after, there was the sound of a phone dropping to the ground.

Ye Fan’s heart leapt to his throat as he shouted anxiously, “Sister Xiaoman?!

Sister Xiaoman?!”

But there was no response from the phone.

“It’s bad!

Sister Xiaoman must have passed out.

How could she be at the nightclub with He Jiaqiang?” Ye Fan tensed up, a murderous aura spreading around him, “Damn it!

If that bastard He Jiaqiang dares to touch a hair on Sister Xiaoman, I’ll make sure he has no grave to be buried in!”

With this in mind, he didn’t completely panic.

The more urgent the situation, the more he needed to stay calm.

He disconnected the call with Lu Xiaoman and quickly retrieved He Jiaqiang’s mobile number.

Although he was not there in person, a phone warning to He Jiaqiang—letting him know that he was aware of the drugging—would make Jiaqiang hesitant to mess with Lu Xiaoman, knowing that it would certainly result in a sure conviction and jail time.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the call went through, it was immediately cut off.

When he tried again, he got a message that the other party had switched off their phone.

He Jiaqiang, a little drunk, was in the midst of a conversation with someone he had arranged to meet.

Though he had dosed Lu Xiaoman, he hadn’t realized how quickly the drug would take effect, and at the time Xiaoman made the call, she had locked herself inside the restroom.

So, when Ye Fan tried to call, Jiaqiang thought nothing of it and just hung up.

Then, excited by the prospect of having the long-desired Lu Xiaoman to himself that night, he turned off his phone altogether to prevent any interruptions that could spoil his mood.

“Damn it, He Jiaqiang, you’ve got some nerve!” Ye Fan couldn’t help but roar with fury as he grabbed his keys and dashed out of the house, driving like a man possessed out of the villa’s courtyard, desperate to reach Seven Happiness Road.

Meanwhile, seven or eight kilometers away from the Royal Bay villa complex, a blue-eyed blonde hacker sits before a high-end computer, monitoring Ye Fan’s mobile phone.

Suddenly, he excitedly removes his headphones and turns to shout, “Mr.

Bailey, the opportunity has arisen!!!”

The two Caucasians seated in the living room leapt up and ran over.

“Black Dragon’s beloved woman just called him, saying she’s been drugged by her boss at the nightclub,” the blue-eyed blonde hacker reported quickly.

“Black Dragon is bound to be in a hurry to save his woman!”

“Where?

Open up the map, quick!” Nehemiah Bailey, ranked fifth in the global hitman rankings, said excitedly.

He then quickly instructed the other Caucasian, “Call Yamamoto Shirou and Eagle Bonnie immediately, and tell them to get ready to strike!”

The hacker swiftly brought up the digital map, his fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard, clattering away as he spoke, “The location is Jinwang Night Club on Seven Happiness Road in Xinyang District.

Leaving from Royal Bay, there are three routes to get to Seven Happiness Road, two of which pass through the bustling Baiyun Road and Xiangzhu Avenue.

Desperate to save his woman, Black Dragon will surely take the third route, where there are few people and cars.

Shibaling Boulevard and Xingle Intersection is our best ambush point!”

Bailey had been focused on the digital map, and as soon as the hacker finished speaking, he immediately turned to the other man and said, “Tell them, the ambush point is at Shibaling Boulevard, Xingle Intersection!”

After speaking, he rushed from the living room to a parked car in front of the villa, flung open the door, and got in, starting the vehicle.

The white man who had been on the phone raced out, running to the villa gate and quickly opening it.

By this point, Nehemiah Bailey had already driven out of the gate, made a sharp brake, spun the steering wheel to the left, tail swinging, and turned the car ninety degrees.

As the car slowed for two seconds, his partner had already pulled open the front passenger door, jumped in, and slammed it shut.

Nehemiah Bailey, without pausing, slammed down the accelerator, and the car shot off toward Shibaling Boulevard, Xingle Intersection.

As for guns, grenades, and other weapons, they had already been placed in the car.

From the moment the hacker heard Ye Fan’s phone call to the time Bailey drove out of the villa, only 57 seconds had passed!!!

After Ye Fan raced out of the villa complex, he floored the accelerator and headed for Seven Happiness Road.

“Sister Xiaoman, please hang in there; I’m on my way!” he called out in agitation as he sped along.

Normally, it took him more than half an hour to get to the Emily Group’s office located in Qingyang District, but Seven Happiness Road was in Xinyang District, another district away, even farther.

Even driving at full speed, it would take him over a dozen minutes to get there, and Lu Xiaoman had already been unconscious when she called him.

How could he not be frantic with worry?

While he was unfamiliar with Huahai City, out of professional habit, he knew the city’s traffic layout by heart, so when he drove out of the villa complex, he indeed chose the third route marked by the hacker on the electronic map.

This route, leaning towards the suburbs and passing through Shibaling Boulevard, was a bit longer, but with less traffic and fewer traffic lights allowed him to drive at full speed, it was actually faster to get to Seven Happiness Road.
