Chapter 694: Chapter 299 The Heart's Trouble_3 Chapter 694: Chapter 299 The Heart's Trouble_3 So after failing to find Wen Rou, Duan Hongye set her sights on Lu Pingping. Although Yan Fei and Lu Pingping were no longer a couple, they still had a close relationship where they could rely on each other with their lives. If she could capture Lu Pingping, she could use her to threaten Yan Fei, ultimately getting everything she wanted from him.

However, Lu Pingping was not the same as Wen Rou. Not only was she a true Chinese person, but she also had genuine talents and was a top-tier management talent. If Lu Pingping chose to serve the country in the future, she could create a vast amount of wealth for the nation and would be a valuable asset. Therefore, after threatening Yan Fei, Duan Hongye not only wouldn't kill Lu Pingping but would also try to foster a reunion between Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, considering it a form of compensation for Yan Fei's handover of Dream Island and its technologies.

But to Duan Hongye's disappointment, she did not find Lu Pingping at her home. Even Lu Shuchun, who had just been transferred from domestic China, was not in the villa. Everything in the room was well-arranged, only the people were missing, and Duan Hongye could not guess where Lu Pingping and Lu Shuchun had gone.

After discovering Wen Rou was not at home, and now neither were Lu Pingping and Lu Shuchun, Duan Hongye experienced a moment of clarity. It seemed that Yan Fei was no fool; realizing that the United Fleet was about to attack Dream Island, he must have hidden the two most important women in his life in a safe place to ensure their safety.

Unable to find Wen Rou and Lu Pingping, Duan Hongye was not entirely disappointed, as she had another kidnapping target in mind: Yang Qi. Others might not know where Yang Qi currently was, but the China Special Duties Unit was very aware that Yang Qi was on Dream Island, overseeing a massive laboratory and achieving a plethora of scientific accomplishments.

After Yan Fei's rise to power, Duan Hongye had studied his life story and found that Yan Fei had very few friends since childhood. However, after entering Zhendan University's Genius Class, Yan Fei gained two most intimate friends–Lu Pingping and Yang Qi.

Although Yan Fei had few friends, he treated each one exceptionally well. When Yang Qi faced danger in The United States of America, Yan Fei immediately deployed the representative of the Mysterious Organization hidden behind him, the Destroyer, and rescued Yang Qi from America. The last time the Destroyer was mobilized, it caused significant destruction in America, enough to make them mortal enemies with Yan Fei. This also showed the life-and-death friendship between Yan Fei and Yang Qi.

If Duan Hongye kidnapped Yang Qi, she could likewise use him to threaten Yan Fei and get everything from him. However, Yang Qi was different from Wen Rou and Lu Pingping; after America framed Yang Qi, China started investigating his intelligence only to find that he was one of the top scientists the country desperately needed. With Yang Qi's involvement, the level of China's scientific research could be elevated by at least a decade. Unfortunately, after being rescued by Yan Fei and hidden on Dream Island, he never left, and even the state could not recruit him.

Therefore, Duan Hongye was very clear about the importance of Yang Qi. Her aim was only to use Yang Qi to threaten Yan Fei, without harming him, even going to great lengths to protect him if danger arose. After getting everything she wanted, Yang Qi would be safely returned to China, unharmed, where he could contribute to the scientific progress of the nation.

Duan Hongye had long since worked out the layout of Dream Island's buildings and knew where important personnel lived. With a single flicker, she disappeared on the spot, then reappeared inside Yang Qi's villa. Still, inside this villa, Duan Hongye did not find any trace of Yang Qi, nor were his parents at home.

At this point, Duan Hongye finally understood. Yan Fei was definitely no fool; realizing danger was imminent, he surely gathered his most important personnel together, which not only included Wen Rou and Lu Pingping but also Yang Qi, as well as their families. This was to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of their absence and seizing control of their vital points. Therefore, when Duan Hongye attempted to seize the most important people around Yan Fei, she found her efforts had been in vain.

But this didn't faze Duan Hongye at all. Her inclination to kidnap those around Yan Fei to threaten him was simply to avoid a complete fallout with Yan Fei, especially considering the nontrivial strength of the Mysterious Organization backing him. Now that Yan Fei had thwarted all of Duan Hongye's plans, she had only one choice left: to meet with Yan Fei face-to-face and capture him. Once Yan Fei was captured, she would definitely find his most important people, and even if Yan Fei still refused to yield, she could use those closest to him to force his hand.

With this in mind, Duan Hongye no longer searched aimlessly but headed straight for a building in the center of Dream Island. Renowned for her speed, Duan Hongye became a true blur when she pushed her speed to the limit. Ordinary people's eyes could no longer track her movement. Thus, it took her very little time to rush from the residential area to this location.

This building appeared to be an ordinary library from the outside, but hidden beneath the library was a secret laboratory, the very laboratory presided over by Yang Qi.

Yang Qi's laboratory held the highest concentration of technology on Dream Island and served as Dream Island's command center, where Yan Fei currently resided. So when Duan Hongye arrived at lightning speed outside the command center, she saw several hundred fully armed security personnel outside the library.

These security personnel were on full alert, monitoring the outside for any sign of enemy invasion, ready to mount a devastating attack at a moment's notice.

Seeing these security personnel, a cold sneer crossed Duan Hongye's mind: “Yan Fei, no matter how you play your tricks, strength ultimately speaks the loudest. Your puny forces cannot stop me. You're an Expert at the Innate Peak, but today, I'll give you a free lesson on what it truly takes to be a God-Level Expert!”
