Chapter 44
"Young Master Yu, are you trying to meddle in other people's business?"
"I don't think this is a trivial matter. Take your hands off him!"
Ye Feng pointed his gun at Bai Yu's forehead, directing him step by step up the stairs.
Seeing Ye Feng approaching, Tong Yue, disregarding the risk of revealing himself, quickly warned, "Don't get too close!"
Seeing that Tong Yue remained relatively calm, Ye Feng stopped, gripped the gunstock with both hands, and stared sharply at Bai Yu. "Do I need to remind you a second time? Let him go. I have a disinfection gun specifically designed to target insectoids. Want to try its power?"
Bai Yu, or more accurately, Bai Yu who was controlled by insects, had eyes like two pools of ink that spread outwards. In the blink of an eye, his handsome face was cut by black lines, like cracked earth.
His ever-growing fingernails turned black. Hearing Ye Feng's threat, he laughed so hard he bent over, but his hand did not leave Tong Yue. His strangely curved fingernails were hidden in Tong Yue's soft hair, like several black, wriggling worms.
Ye Feng watched his hands tremble as he observed the change in Tong Yue. He knew he couldn't fire the gun now, as that wouldn't guarantee Tong Yue's safety. But continuing like this wasn't a solution either; not only would it fail to help Tong Yue escape, but it might also hold him back.
what to do?
Tong Yue could sense Bai Yu's change. In his eyes, Bai Yu was now a mature mother insect that would soon hatch larvae to attack those nearby.
It was impossible not to be afraid; after all, he was just a high school student with no real combat experience. Tong Yue's breathing became more rapid, and his voice trembled, "Shoot him, he's mutated."
Ye Feng knew that the only option now was to strike first. He pulled the trigger, looking for an opportunity to kill the insectoid at any moment.
"Uncle! What are you doing?"
At this moment, Feng Xiao, who had just come out of the restroom, heard the noise and rushed in.
Everyone's gaze shifted as Feng Xiao appeared. Feng Xiao looked at Bai Yu, who was both strange and familiar, and rushed up the stairs in a panic, "What happened? Uncle, what's wrong with you? Brother Feng, don't point a gun at my uncle!"
Feng Xiao's fair and youthful face flushed red with anxiety. He looked at Bai Yu while trying to press down on Ye Feng's gun.
Ye Feng stretched out a hand to stop Feng Xiao from getting close to Bai Yu, "Your uncle has mutated, leave quickly!"
Feng Xiao shook his head violently, his eyes red with anxiety. In his eyes, that was his mother's own younger brother, his own uncle. Even though he looked somewhat frightening now, he was indeed Bai Yu. "Mutation? How did he mutate?"
Ye Feng, unusually patient, explained slowly, "Xiao Zi, he doesn't recognize you now, and he will hurt everyone."
Feng Xiao grabbed Ye Feng's arm, looking at Bai Yu in disbelief, "Uncle, it's me! It's me, Xiao! Are you going to hurt me?"
Upon receiving Tong Yue's message, Chi Xia immediately instructed Cheng Yang to keep the people in the private room calm and not allow any of them to leave. By the time she rushed out, Bai Yu had already subdued Tong Yue. She held her breath, leaning against the wall at the corner of the corridor, listening to Ye Feng's arrival, but the insect-man's aura was so strong that she dared not make any rash moves.
Now is the perfect time for Feng Xiao to appear. Bai Yu's consciousness is very likely to be awakened for a moment because of Feng Xiao. As long as that hand is removed from Tong Yue, she will have a chance.
Sure enough, a look of confusion appeared on Bai Yu's mutated face. Feng Xiao's tears fell, both anxious and sad. "Uncle, don't you recognize me? Didn't you say you would spend more time with me this time you came back?"
Bai Yu froze, cracks appearing on his numb expression. Ye Feng observed his change, tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Feng Xiao, "Continue, he's about to recognize you."
Feng Xiao cried, "Uncle, aren't you the man the Bai family is most proud of? How could you be controlled by insects? Uncle, wake up!"
"Whoosh!"
Like a flash of light, Chi Xia shot out, her legs tensed, and with a kick, sent Bai Yu, who was about to clutch his head in pain, flying straight down the stairs.
Everything happened too fast. Before anyone else could react, Chi Xia grabbed the handrail, adjusted her balance, and, wearing a soft, fitted dress that wasn't too cumbersome, jumped down the stairs. She landed on her knees and knelt on Bai Yu's back, who was lying face down on the ground. By the time the three boys ran down, Bai Yu was struggling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.
Ye Feng: "..."
Tong Yue: "..."
Feng Xiao wiped her nose bubble, "..."
Chi Xia looked at the three of them and smiled slightly, "Well done."
The person infected by the bio-mutant insect was very strong. Chi Xia restrained his hands, but he still wanted to prop his head up. Chi Xia simply sat on his waist, with her feet firmly on the ground, so as not to be overturned.
Chi Xia glanced over and saw that Feng Xiao was wearing a cute bubble tie. "Feng Xiao, give me the tie."
Feng Xiao took off his tie, and Chi Xia took it and quickly tied a knot around Bai Yu's crossed wrists. She then used her free hand to press down on Bai Yu's head, preventing his overly active mouth from facing anyone.
Just as Feng Xiao was about to approach, Ye Feng grabbed her arm. "I'm giving you and Tong Yue a task: go and seal off the two doors in the inner corridor so that the guests can't come this way."
Tong Yue nodded and went to pull Feng Xiao.
Looking at Bai Yu struggling on the ground, emitting strange hissing sounds, Feng Xiao wiped away her tears. "You won't just kill my uncle, right? There's still hope for him, isn't there?"
Chi Xia: "No, go ahead."
As soon as Feng Xiao left, Chi Xia immediately got up and turned Bai Yu over. She reached out and pinched his jawbone, dislocating it with a "crack". Ye Feng put away his pistol, squatted down, and tilted his head to look at Bai Yu's mouth. There were several black worms wriggling inside, as if they were being pulled by something and were struggling to get out.
Ye Feng clicked his tongue and looked away. "If I hadn't held his head down, would he have attacked with the bug in his mouth?"
Chi Xia stood up and clapped her hands. "Not too stupid. Have your people come and send him to the Biochemistry Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Nuodun now. There might still be hope. Oh, and have them bring up a roll of tape."
The staff came over, and Chi Xia pulled duct tape to seal Bai Yu's mouth. Remembering something, she looked at one of her men and said, "Take off your coat and cover his head with it."
The subordinate did as instructed. Ye Feng asked, "Are you afraid the bugs will break through the tape and crawl out?"
Chi Xia watched as several of her men lifted Bai Yu, who was still struggling on the ground, covered his head, and dragged him away. "After all, he's a public figure. It's better to avoid trouble."
After saying that, Chi Xia walked towards the private room.
Ye Feng: "Where are you going?"
Chi Xia: "Accompany the old lady to blow out the candles and eat cake."
Ye Feng chased after him, "You still have the appetite to eat? Those bugs were disgusting."
Chi Xia smiled faintly, "Didn't you love bugs the most? Why do you find them disgusting now?"
Chi Xia was mocking his past behavior at school. Ye Feng coughed lightly, raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose. "Well, I've never seen anything crawl out of the mouth before. This is rather disgusting."
Chi Xia stood at the door of the private room and said, "Young man, don't have such a weak mentality. It's just a bug."
Ye Feng pressed further, "Then what do you think is scary?"
Chi Xia turned the doorknob and walked straight in without pausing. "I really can't think of anything."
Ye Feng: "..."
Nothing happened inside; the ladies chatted amongst themselves, making quite a scene.
