Fifty-seven feathers
In a black, enclosed room, Xu Zilian's small body was tied to a chair with black tape wrapped around her mouth.
After feeling dizzy, he struggled to open his eyes, and waves of pain came over his body. He wanted to call for help, but found that he could not speak, and could only whimper from his throat. Four or five capable thugs with broad shoulders and narrow waists stood around him to guard him.
Although Xu Zilian was still young, he was not afraid at all when facing those people. His eyes showed determination and a fearless attitude.
One of the thugs came over and used the whip in his hand to pick up Xu Zilian's chin, forcing him to look up. He said in a teasing tone, "Don't move. As long as you behave, we will let you go after Xu Hong catches that Ye guy."
Xu Zilian turned his head and moved his chin away, not meeting the man's gaze.
From what the other party said, it seemed that someone was looking for his teacher. Now he didn't know where his father had gone. There were many guards here, and it would probably be difficult to escape. Xu Zilian could only pray secretly that Ye Linghan would be safe.
"Oh, you are so tough at such a young age. Otherwise, if you join us, we will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing." The thug sneered.
"Bah - who wants to go to your place?" Xu Zilian glared at the man angrily and responded unhappily.
The thugs in black were only provoking him verbally. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, they did not make things too difficult for him. Because they did not dare to disobey their superiors, they got up and left as he wished.
In the hall of the manor villa, the sudden joining of Ye Linghan and Yin Chen broke the deadlock.
Yin Chen no longer cared about his identity. He raised his hand, and a light purple light suddenly appeared in his palm. Then he gently waved his wrist, and a barrier formed to isolate the rest of the people.
Yin Chen, who comes from a high-level vampire clan and possesses the most excellent bloodline, has set up a barrier that no one can break or peek into.
The originally noisy hall was once again stirred up by a wave of excitement.
"Who is this person? His supernatural power is so strong!"
Seeing that they were imprisoned, some people who overestimated their own abilities tried to break through the barrier, but without exception they all failed.
"Could it be that grandson of the Yin family?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't it rumored that he has white hair?"
"You said it too, it's just a rumor, maybe it's black--"
There were many different opinions in the crowd, but after some people tried to resist in vain, they realized the strength of Yin Chen's supernatural powers and began to gradually quiet down.
Yao Qingluan took off the kidnapper's mask, and his true face was exposed to everyone.
"Boss Hong? What are you doing here? Where is Zi Lian?"
Ye Linghan was stunned. He never thought that the person he injured was Xu Hong, the father of Xu Zilian, the owner of the casino.
He wanted to go forward and help the man up, but was stopped vigilantly by Yin Chen.
The pain from the bullet piercing the back of his hand stimulated every nerve in his body, forcing him to kneel on the ground, covering his palm and twitching uncontrollably. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead onto the tile floor.
His voice trembled, "I... don't know."
The corners of Ye Linghan's eyes twitched uncontrollably, especially when he met Xu Hong's chaotic and dirty eyes, bad thoughts arose in his mind.
He looked at Qu Yaoguang, "Professor Qu, are you hurt?"
Qu Yaoguang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. You guys go check on him first."
He stood beside Su Mo, his back still straight and calm, as if the person who was kidnapped a moment ago was not him.
Seeing that Xu Hong was much more conscious at this time, Ye Linghan nodded at Yin Chen, and then he and Yao Qingluan helped him up.
"Can his hand be cured?" Ye Linghan turned sideways and asked Yin Chen beside him.
The latter stepped forward and lifted Xu Hong's bloody hand with his well-proportioned and handsome fingers to examine it. "It's a penetrating wound that has hit the bone. I can help stop the bleeding, but I suggest you get him to the hospital as soon as possible."
After saying that, several golden rays of light lingered on his fingers and spread to Xu Hong's palm. The horrific hole that was bleeding in the previous second stopped bleeding in the next second.
"Okay." Yin Chen stopped and helped Xu Hong deal with it temporarily.
But at this moment, Xu Hong suddenly became manic as if he was stimulated by something, and grabbed Ye Linghan's wrist. Ye Linghan had no time to dodge, but subconsciously pulled his hand back, but he didn't expect that Xu Hong's nails would scratch three bloody wounds.
Seeing this, Yin Chen became angry and raised his hand to kill Xu Hong. Even though they had some friendship before, he would never allow anyone to hurt Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan saw through his thoughts and quickly hugged Yin Chen's arm to stop him, "Ah Chen, don't, he's innocent too."
It can be seen from Xu Hong's cloudy eyes and uncontrolled body movements that his sudden madness was not intentional, but the specific reason is still unknown.
Xu Hong was able to save his life thanks to Ye Linghan's obstruction.
Yin Chen turned his head and lifted Ye Linghan's scratched arm, wanting to heal him, but was stopped by Qu Yaoguang.
"Hold on."
Yin Chen frowned and looked at the other person with some displeasure.
Seeing Yin Chen's murderous look, Qu Yaoguang quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry. This person's origins are unknown. Based on my experience, he might be involved with CLY-20. So, I suggest you take him back to the Research Department. I'll examine him first. If there's nothing wrong, you can treat him later."
"And you see, it's just a small wound, it's nothing serious." He added.
After hearing this, Yin Chen thought for a moment, then turned to ask Ye Linghan, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Ye Linghan shook his head.
In fact, it hurt. Xu Hong's attack power was not weak when he was out of control. However, Ye Linghan felt that what Qu Yaoguang said made sense. For the sake of the overall situation, he endured it.
Seeing that he was fine, Yin Chen let it go.
After calming Yin Chen down, Ye Linghan turned to look at Su Mo, "Brother Mo, should we take him back for questioning?"
Su Mo sighed and took out his phone. "I'll call Xiao Liao and ask him to transfer some people from the police station to seal off this place. It's just that..." He looked around, "It's not easy to find those who escaped early in the morning."
"No, I set up a barrier outside as well. They can only go in and not out. They can't escape." Yin Chen said slowly from the side.
Ye Linghan couldn't help but cast a look of approval, "Well done!"
When Yin Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Liao Xihe, who had been guarding outside, was unaware of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place inside. He just deployed police forces as needed after receiving the news. He also informed Chief Liao in advance, so the police had been lying in ambush nearby early in the morning.
The current situation is no longer as simple as undercurrents. The appearance of the forbidden book Li Si, which has been hidden by the vampires for a long time, has made the rebellious intentions of some vampires obvious.
While waiting for the police to arrive, the few people did not waste time. Su Mo looked at Xu Hong, who was standing aside with his head bowed. Without any courtesy, he took out handcuffs from his waist and handcuffed his hands behind his back. Then he asked, "Who sent you here?"
But Xu Hong hadn't spoken since answering Ye Linghan's question. He also remained silent in answering Su Mo's questions, like a puppet that had lost its soul, allowing himself to be manipulated by the person behind the scenes.
Ye Linghan whispered, "Is he being controlled by someone?"
Then he looked at Yin Chen again, "Do the vampires have any special abilities or medicine that can control people's actions?"
"Some vampires in the blood clan have special abilities that can have a controlling effect." After saying that, he raised his hand and examined Xu Hong from top to bottom.
"Since he's not under the control of superpowers, the only option is medication. As far as I know, the only drug this powerful is CLY-20."
As expected, just as Professor Qu said, this matter still came back to CLY-20.
"Is there a solution?" Ye Linghan asked.
Qu Yaoguang, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly stepped forward and said, "The only way to achieve such strong control is by injection, but injecting it into the bloodstream will definitely cause death. Or perhaps they have found a way to avoid death."
"Turn him over and see if there's anything on the back of his neck."
After hearing this, several people did as they were told, although they did not understand. They turned Xu Hong over, parted his collar and the hair on his neck, and saw an amazing scene.
There was a light purple bruise on the back of his neck, with a needle hole clearly visible in the middle.
"This..." Several people looked at each other.
"Can it be pulled out?" Yao Qingluan asked.
"In theory, it is possible." Qu Yaoguang replied.
"Let me do it." Yin Chen said from the side.
He was afraid that it would be unsafe to use his hands rashly, so he chose to use his supernatural powers. The silver needle inserted into the back of Xu Hong's neck was pulled out by a force, and as Yin Chen relaxed his strength, it fell vertically to the ground.
Su Mo walked forward, took out a pair of gloves he was carrying with him, pinched the silver needle and put it into the evidence bag.
This is really beyond my scope of expertise, and it is also a blind spot in the police's knowledge, so I was a little distressed for a while and didn't know where to send it for testing.
"Give it to me." Qu Yaoguang on the side spoke appropriately, trying to solve this problem for him.
"For you?" Su Mo cast a suspicious look. At this moment, he did not think that the person in front of him was reliable. Although his professional ability was very strong, after this series of events, he was still listed as a suspicious person, so he was skeptical about his statement.
Qu Yaoguang raised his eyebrows, indicating that he couldn't understand Su Mo's distrust of him. "Don't you have a better candidate?"
He couldn't help but ask back.
"Brother, he seems to be awake!" Yao Qingluan, who had been taking care of Xu Hong, suddenly spoke.
Su Mo looked at Xu Hong, whose eyes were gradually becoming clearer, and then looked at Qu Yaoguang, who was standing calmly in front of him. After much inner struggle, he decided to put the overall situation first, so he handed over the evidence bag in his hand.
"I trust you once."
Qu Yaoguang took the evidence bag and seemed to be relieved, as if testing this evidence was of great significance to him.
Ye Linghan half-knelt in front of Xu Hong. Compared with others, he knew what kind of person he was better, so he firmly believed that doing this was not his original intention.
Seeing his consciousness gradually regaining, I gradually felt relieved.
"Why don't we send him to the hospital first?" Ye Linghan turned around and looked at Qu Yaoguang.
Because at this moment, only Qu Yaoguang knows more about CLY-20 and knows some ways to crack it.
Qu Yaoguang smiled and said, "Instead of going to the hospital, why not go directly back to the research department? Wouldn't that be more convenient and intuitive?"
The other people thought about it for a moment and acquiesced to his statement. Coincidentally, at this time Liao Xihe brought the police to the hall and controlled all the outsiders inside and outside.
At the same time, Yin Chen also thoughtfully set up superpowers on every person caught at the scene to ensure that any vampires who mixed in would not escape.
On the way to collect the team, several new intern police officers surrounded Su Mo and secretly asked about Yin Chen.
"Brother Mo, who is that person wearing a feather mask?"
In order to facilitate the investigation, only Su Mo and Yao Qingluan took off their masks. In order to avoid further trouble, the others still wore masks.
"Yeah, yeah, it feels amazing!"
Two female interns also joined in the fun.
"He's tall and has long legs, so he should be very handsome."
“That’s right!”
When he heard the first two sentences, Su Mo didn't take it seriously, but when he heard the second two sentences, a hint of mockery arose in his heart. He looked back in a mysterious manner, then came up to a few people and whispered.
"Have you heard of the Young Master of the Yin family?"
Because Yin Chen was wearing a mask and had changed his hair color, he was not afraid of exposing his identity. Even if everyone knew that such a person came today, they would definitely not be able to recognize him in the future.
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it." Several young policemen nodded frantically.
Who hasn't heard of the young master of the Yin family? Rumor has it that he is the future patriarch of the blood clan and is cruel and ruthless. However, although his reputation is known, most people have only heard of him but have never seen him in person.
"Hey." Su Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's it."
"What?"
"He is?"
"Oh my god, I saw the real person!"
Several young policemen sighed.
Su Mo, who was just watching the fun, continued to add, "Did you see the person following him?"
He raised his chin and pointed at Ye Linghan.
"Yeah, I see."
"They are a family, so don't try to get the young master of the Yin family."
Su Mo said this, deliberately exaggerating the expression on his face and making a terrifying expression.
Ye Linghan, who was standing on the other side, seemed to feel everyone's gaze and looked at Su Mo, but seeing that he seemed to be fine, he nodded.
After seeing this, Su Mo straightened his back, waved at him, and then continued to exaggerate: "You just saw the hand of the man lying on the ground, right? It was a penetrating wound. He shot him from such a long distance. With just one shot, he almost broke his hand."
"So, you guys better be careful, and I heard..." He moved closer and said to the policeman, "The young master of the Yin family is henpecked!"
After hearing this, several people looked at each other in confusion. A sense of oppression came over them, and they all shuddered subconsciously.
Seeing that the purpose of intimidation was achieved, Su Mo smiled and felt extremely happy.
Suddenly, he felt a force on the back of his shoulder.
"Brother! Stop scaring them!"
Yao Qingluan came over and exposed Su Mo's teasing face on the spot.
"They're not that scary! Be careful or I'll complain to you later."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo quickly waved towards the confused interns who hadn't reacted and looked bewildered. "You guys should get back to work. I have something else to do. We'll talk next time."
Several people didn't quite understand the situation, but they had no choice but to listen to Su Mo's orders, so they obediently said hello to Su Mo and Yao Qingluan and left the scene.
