Chapter 183 Extinguishing the Fire

Chen Yunfei stood under the eaves, pulling hard at his clothes, which were already soaked and clung tightly to his body. The sticky feeling made him uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"I was all wet and sticky, it was so uncomfortable, it was awful."

Just then, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him.

Chen Yunfei reacted extremely quickly, suddenly turning his body to the side and swiftly dodging the sudden attack launched by Zhao Yu from behind.

After regaining his balance, Chen Yunfei looked down and saw that the sack that originally contained Zhao Yu had a large hole burned into it, with charred marks still remaining at the edges and emitting a pungent smell.

He looked up again, his gaze falling on the leaping flames in Zhao Yu's hand, his eyes instantly turning sharp. "I didn't expect you to be a fire-type ability user. You're the one who started the fire on that mountain, aren't you?"

Zhao Yu acted as if he hadn't heard Chen Yunfei's question, and turned to run away.

He has absolutely no need to waste his time here.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yunfei's eyes turned cold, and he immediately activated his supernatural abilities.

In an instant, the soil on the ground began to churn and condense rapidly, and a thick earthen wall rose up, directly blocking Zhao Yu's path.

Zhao Yu was both surprised and furious when he was stopped by the sudden appearance of the earthen wall.

He turned around abruptly, and the flames in his hands surged instantly as he launched a fierce attack on Chen Yunfei.

As he attacked, Zhao Yu's ears twitched slightly. He heard footsteps coming from afar and knew that someone or a zombie must be heading this way.

At this point, his situation became extremely difficult, and escaping was almost impossible.

The only feasible way is to capture Chen Yunfei and use him to threaten Lord Youxiang into letting him leave.

However, Zhao Yu still underestimated Chen Yunfei's strength.

Chen Yunfei moved nimbly, skillfully dodging Zhao Yu's attacks, while seizing the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

After a few rounds, Zhao Yu was starting to struggle.

Chen Yunfei seized the opportunity and delivered a flying kick, striking Zhao Yu squarely in the chest.

Zhao Yu felt a powerful force strike him, and he was kicked away, landing right in front of Youxiang and the others who had just finished putting out the fire and came over after hearing the commotion.

When Youxiang saw Zhao Yu, she was immediately furious. She stomped on Zhao Yu's face, her little face puffed up with anger, "You arsonist, you actually tried to escape!"

...

Yuka and the others returned to the villa.

Upon entering the house, I found everyone gathered in the living room, each with a look of worry on their face.

Yuka asked with some confusion, "Why are you all awake?"

When Qiao Yue saw Youxiang and the others, she quickly came over. "There are flames shooting up from the back mountain, and we can still hear faint noises outside. How could we possibly sleep? We were all woken up."

When Qiao Yan saw that Chen Yunfei was soaked to the bone and his clothes were clinging to his body, making him look very disheveled, she quickly urged him to take a shower and change his clothes.

Father Shen also noticed that Youxiang and Qin Zhuo were also a bit disheveled, with a lot of dust and stains on their clothes, so he told them to take a shower first and then talk to each other after they were cleaned up.

It was half an hour later when the three of them finished showering and changed into clean clothes.

In the living room, Qin Zhuo sat on the sofa, holding a dry towel in his hand, gently drying Youxiang's hair.

Yuka, meanwhile, comfortably leaned back on the sofa and told everyone what had happened.

Chen Yunfei was furious when he remembered being ambushed by Zhao Yu. He stepped forward and kicked Zhao Yu, who had been knocked unconscious, hard. "It was all this guy's doing! He even tried to ambush me! He's utterly despicable!"

Yu Xiang tilted her head slightly and looked at Qin Zhuo, who was focused on drying her hair. "That's enough, you don't need to dry it anymore."

Qin Zhuo's hands didn't stop moving. "Your hair is still wet. If this continues, you'll get a headache. You can't be careless."

Yu Xiang smiled slightly and snapped her fingers crisply.

In an instant, the moisture in her hair was quickly drawn away, and it became dry instantly.

"That's good! Now let's interrogate this Zhao Yu first."

She stood up as she spoke.

Yu Xiang walked to the unconscious Zhao Yu, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Right, take his things first, especially his phone. We'll have to check his chat history with the Bright Base later."

As she spoke, Yu Xiang reached out her hand, preparing to touch Zhao Yu's pants pocket.

Just then, a hand with distinct knuckles suddenly intercepted her hand.

"Huh?" Youxiang looked up at Qin Zhuo with some confusion. "Zhuozhuo, what are you doing?"

A barely perceptible glint of possessiveness flashed in Qin Zhuo's eyes as he said calmly, "Let me do it."

He didn't want Xiaoyouzi to touch other men.

Yu Xiang was puzzled, but she obediently withdrew her hand and softly replied, "Oh."

Qin Zhuo acted swiftly, quickly taking all of Zhao Yu's belongings and neatly placing them on the coffee table.

On the coffee table were a cell phone, a sharp knife, and a few white pills.

Shen Jia reached out and picked up the pills, asking, "What kind of medicine is this? Does Zhao Yu have some kind of illness?"

Qin Zhuo recalled some things that had happened before, his eyes turned cold, and he replied, "This should be a sleeping potion."

Yu Xiang sat back down on the sofa, crossed her arms, and struck a dignified pose. She said to Bronson, "Butler, wake him up."

Butler Bronson walked over gracefully from the side and gave a slight bow. "Yes, Miss."

After saying that, he picked up the knife on the coffee table and stabbed Zhao Yu in the calf without hesitation.

He had seen this spot described in an old medical book; pricking it wouldn't draw much blood, but it would cause excruciating pain.

Bronson, the butler, has always been a studious zombie, and he spends a lot of time studying various kinds of knowledge.

Yuka's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she watched Bronson's actions.

Her housekeeper is absolutely fantastic!

However, the others were quite surprised, their faces showing astonishment. After all, this was not something a butler who was usually polite and elegant would do.

"ah--"

Zhao Yu was awakened by the sudden, sharp pain. He clutched his injured calf, his body trembling uncontrollably from the pain.

Yu Xiang narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Yu. "Zhao Yu, tell me the truth, or you'll die a horrible death."

Zhao Yu clutched his leg, slowly raised his head, and looked at Youxiang.

Yuka's hair was casually loose and very fluffy. She was wearing a pure white nightgown, and she looked like an angel who had stepped out of a fairy tale.

However, what she said sent a chill down Zhao Yu's spine.

She actually knew that his name wasn't Zhao Yi.

How much does she actually know?
