Chapter 526: Chapter 247: Calling a Deer a Horse_2 Chapter 526: Chapter 247: Calling a Deer a Horse_2 The news also reported that Yang Qi was a senior member of KB and extremely hostile towards the United States. He appeared quiet and reticent but was actually very deranged and abnormal on the inside. Carrying dangerous weapons on him, he posed a serious threat. Everyone should be careful when encountering him, not to get hurt, and promptly choose to report to the police.

In this news segment, interviews with people related to the incident were also shown. Those included injured personnel from the hotel where the incident took place, who looked utterly panicked as they narrated the victim's plight and cursed Yang Qi for being a KB member.

Among them was the team leader from Yang Qi's Research Institute, looking utterly shell-shocked. He repeatedly claimed he had no idea Yang Qi was a hidden KB member and stressed he had no personal connection to Yang Qi. Yang Qi was not a researcher at their institute but a logistical staff member of the exchange group. They had decided to dismiss Yang Qi, hoping their relationship with the American Research Institute would remain unaffected and that they could continue academic exchange on site.

In the end, the team leader lashed out at Yang Qi, saying he had placed great trust in him and even introduced his niece to Yang Qi as a girlfriend; the two were about to get married. He never expected Yang Qi to have concealed his identity so deeply, not only being a KB member but also taking his niece hostage while on the run.

The final piece was a statement by local police officers, first urging Yang Qi to surrender and release the hostages voluntarily. They then called for the public to stay away from the incident area, as Yang Qi had extremely dangerous weapons, to avoid injury from the ruthless Yang Qi. Finally, they assured the public they would apprehend Yang Qi, bring the KB member to justice, and make him face legal punishment.

After watching this news report on CNN, Yan Fei began to worry about Yang Qi's safety. When he first saw Yang Qi's plea for help in an email, Yan Fei worried it might be a trap set specifically for him by his enemies. After all, as a key figure of Dream Technology and shrouded in mysteries, Yan Fei had been rarely seen by the public lately, so it wasn't far-fetched that his enemies would plot to lure him out.

But when Yan Fei saw in the news the team leader denouncing Yang Qi and publicly announcing his dismissal, he felt Yang Qi's plea for help might not be a trap aimed at him, but that Yang Qi was truly in trouble. He knew that team leader–the deputy director of Yang Qi's Research Institute and the uncle of Yang Qi's girlfriend.

The deputy director was a man from China, and the Chinese side was then cooperating with Yan Fei, so it certainly wouldn't act against Yan Fei. At least, what the deputy director said was definitely not instigated by China. From this point of view, the plea for help Yang Qi sent to Yan Fei must be genuine.

With this analysis, Yan Fei realized that Yang Qi was in an extremely dire situation and could be in danger at any moment. Although the TV news depicted Yang Qi as a confirmed KB member and showed the aftermath of the bomb explosion, Yan Fei did not believe these acts were done by Yang Qi.

Yang Qi suffered from Scholar Syndrome and was reticent, but he was definitely not a psychologically deranged KB member; he simply didn't know how to communicate with others. He could easily grasp theoretical knowledge, and when asked to prove a scientific discovery or theory, he could do so without hesitation. But when it came to matters infused with human emotions, he was completely at a loss, often saying that human behavior lacked logic, was unscientific, and incomprehensible to him.

Because of this, Yang Qi found it very difficult to understand society, and his heart was devoid of the usual spectrum of emotions. He held no prejudice against any race, country, or religion, so how could he be filled with hatred towards the United States and turn into a KB member who made bombs to attack the United States? This was entirely like the historical Chinese act of calling a deer a horse but in a modern American version.

It was for these reasons that Yan Fei did not believe the accusations made against Yang Qi in the news. With Yang Qi now being hunted by the American police, there had to be more to the story. However, the immediate priority was not to exonerate Yang Qi but to rescue him from danger. Who knew, maybe just one second from now, he could be shot dead by the police.

With the buffer time now available, the Drone Avatar outside the sea area had been summoned by Yan Fei, hovering in the White Mist above Yan Fei's house. Then Yan Fei woke Wen Rou in the room next door, using an urgent situation as an excuse, indicating that he had to leave Misty Island for a while and asking her to take care of herself during this time.

Seeing Yan Fei push the door and go out, Wen Rou suddenly called out to him, saying, “Little Fei, you men have big affairs to tend to, I can't stop you. But once you encounter danger, you must ensure that you can come back safely. Remember, I'll always be here waiting for you to return.”

Yan Fei was startled and realized that his expression had been too serious, which frightened Wen Rou, making her think he was about to face a life-and-death crisis. He walked back, held Wen Rou in his arms, and gently said, “Little Rou, don't worry! I will definitely come back safely. We have a long life ahead of us together, and I will grow old with you slowly.”

Yan Fei turned and left the room, turning back to see Wen Rou waving at him, her face full of concern. After Yan Fei had gone far enough from home, the White Mist above rippled, and the massive Drone plunged down, flying close to the ground at high speed while opening the cockpit door. Yan Fei leaped up and jumped into the Drone Cockpit, landing in the cockpit's seat, then the cockpit door closed.

The Drone, having received Yan Fei, didn't pause for a moment and shot up rapidly, returning to the White Mist above, then sped towards The United States of America.

The upgraded Drone Body featured excellent optical camouflage, and now, in the dead of the night, everything was pitch-dark. Furthermore, there were no other residences near Yan Fei's home, so no one on Misty Island noticed such a huge airplane flying low in such a short amount of time.

The coordinates sent by Yang Qi indicated that he was now in the Rocky Mountains to the east of Los Angeles. Yang Qi had run into trouble in the suburbs of Los Angeles, but he was now located hundreds of kilometers away in the Rocky Mountains, which was very unusual. However, even if Yan Fei wanted to figure out what exactly happened, he could only wait.

Consider that the Drone commences its journey from the territorial waters of Misty Island, heads to Los Angeles in The United States of America, and then flies over Los Angeles to reach the Rocky Mountains, a distance of 9000 kilometers. Even if the Drone flies at its fastest speed of 2.5 times the speed of sound, it will still take a full three hours to fly there.

Therefore, Yan Fei could only pray that nothing untoward would happen to Yang Qi before he reached the coordinates; otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life. However, while speeding through the sky, Yan Fei wasn't doing nothing; he used the Auxiliary Brain to crack satellite signals, entered the Network World, and continued to monitor the development of Yang Qi's case.

On the American Network, ever since CNN broadcasted in the morning that Yang Qi was a KB member and wanted by the Los Angeles Police, no further news had come in. So Yan Fei could only comfort himself by thinking that maybe Yang Qi suddenly became clever and escaped the police's capture, appearing hundreds of kilometers away in the Rocky Mountains. Yang Qi was now in a Safe Zone, and all Yan Fei had to do was find him and rescue him.

Two hours later, the Drone was already very close to the North American continent. But a calm Yan Fei realized an extremely embarrassing issue: the Drone's Energy Points had a problem and wouldn't be able to sustain his return to the sea after rescuing Yang Qi.
