Chapter 584: Chapter 415 The Name that Appears Again (Part 2)
Before leaving, Dong Tianyu gave Ye Liuyun a call, telling him he was planning to follow the next flight back to Kyoto, and asked if Ye Liuyun wanted to come with him.
Upon hearing Dong Tianyu was returning, Ye Liuyun’s face revealed a look of surprise and delight; after all, Dong Tianyu’s return to Kyoto meant their transaction would continue, which also meant he was going to make money again.
But then, thinking of some matters, Ye Liuyun replied to Dong Tianyu with a very disappointed tone, "Ah, why don’t you go ahead, I still have some things to take care of here, and I’ll head back after I’m done with them."
Hearing Ye Liuyun’s reply, Dong Tianyu suddenly asked with some curiosity, "What’s happened again?"
"Do you still remember that Alexandria?"
"Who?"
When Ye Liuyun suddenly mentioned that name, Dong Tianyu felt it sounded familiar, but he couldn’t quite remember at the moment.
Seeing the confused expression on Dong Tianyu’s face, Ye Liuyun explained again, "It’s that fraudster who somehow got into the logistics department, the one with the codename ’Butterfly’."
Hearing this from Ye Liuyun, an image of a curvaceous figure suddenly emerged in Dong Tianyu’s mind. In fact, when he first saw this figure, Dong Tianyu was indeed tempted.
However, Dong Tianyu wasn’t a lustful spirit, so when he knew Ye Liuyun was interested in her, he took the initiative to back off, especially since the few Canaries in the Cave not only had great figures, but also had their own unique features, which meant that Dong Tianyu really didn’t lack fitness companions after having their company.
Yet at this moment, Dong Tianyu’s curiosity was intensely piqued as to why Ye Liuyun would bring her up out of the blue.
"Didn’t you say that you would take care of her here before heading to Kyoto? Didn’t you sort it out before you left?"
Ye Liuyun directly replied to Dong Tianyu’s doubt, "How could I have not sorted it out? I was planning to use milder means, but since I was in a rush to leave, I used somewhat harsher methods.
But for some reason, as soon as I had her in my custody, all sorts of rumors about me started to spread in the camp. I have no idea who’s trying to mess with me, turning it into a full-blown scandal.
I stood firm against the pressure and didn’t call anyone out; instead, I kept her detained. Then I used some tactics and took advantage of some hot topics of the time to distract the survivors in the camp from this issue until it blew over, and only then did I set off for Beijing."
Hearing Ye Liuyun speak, Dong Tianyu asked puzzledly, "Since you had it all arranged, what has happened to make you sound so distressed?"
"It’s because I was in a hurry to find you in Kyoto. Even though the person was imprisoned, I couldn’t take her to Kyoto, so I left her in Pengcheng. I forgot about her when I came back because I had so much to do. By the time I remembered and wanted to find her, I discovered that the maid who was looking after her was imprisoned in the room where I had left her, and she had escaped."
Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Dong Tianyu wasn’t surprised. Based on his observations, their team should have had four people, although he didn’t know the aliases of the other three.
But as Ye Liuyun had done, capturing only one and letting the other three go, those three wouldn’t just run far away because they weren’t caught; they were afraid the one who was caught might implicate them randomly.
So, out of friendship or self-preservation, they would either try to rescue her or plan to dispose of the one who had been caught.
In theory, killing is certainly much simpler than rescuing, but those with strong relationships or significant mutual interests might choose rescue.
The other three may have taken advantage of Ye Liuyun’s absence to take the risky path of rescue, and they not only chose correctly, but they also succeeded.
After hearing what Ye Liuyun had to say, Dong Tianyu fell silent for a while before replying, "What do you want to do now? You should be very well aware of the situation at the camp. Even if they want to leave, it won’t matter whether you’re in Pengcheng or not—they’ll have no way of dealing with them."
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s analysis, Ye Liuyun also felt the difficulty of the situation, and suddenly he had an epiphany. If they had run away, then let them run. After all, he had already measured what he needed to and tried what he wanted to.
Ye Liuyun wouldn’t be like the demons in "Journey to the West," who, despite having captured Tang Sanzang, would dilly-dally instead of quickly putting the pot on the fire and would end up losing their catch to Sun Wukong or the gods he summoned to help.
So, once he confirmed his target, Ye Liuyun, aided by a powerful drug, transformed into the Moon Night Werewolf and, with supernatural endurance, measured the depth and tested the pain threshold until the skin turned red and swollen. Only then did Ye Liuyun end his transformed state.
Thanks to the expensive, potent drugs, Ye Liuyun didn’t feel a trace of weakness after reverting to his original form. Indeed, you get what you pay for.
Having come to terms with the situation, Ye Liuyun made a spur-of-the-moment decision to leave with Dong Tianyu and said outright, "Forget it. If they’ve run away, they’ve run away. Maybe I’ll just go with you tomorrow."
Dong Tianyu didn’t think much of Ye Liuyun’s sudden change of decision. After all, there were no VIP rooms on airplanes, and everyone would have strangers nearby.
Since there would definitely be other people sitting around, why not choose to sit next to someone familiar?
Dong Tianyu wasn’t overly concerned about Ye Liuyun not having bought a ticket yet—he was sure that by the time they boarded the plane, Ye Liuyun would certainly be sitting in the seat next to him.
Although Ye Liuyun had always followed Yara around in Kyoto, acting like a little sidekick, back at Saxon County Camp, it didn’t matter how short or long he’d been away. As soon as he returned, he could stand tall and speak with confidence—never doubt the Taylor family’s standing in this area.
When they boarded the plane, Dong Tianyu found his seat, and indeed, Ye Liuyun was already sitting next to it.
Ye Liuyun, seeing Dong Tianyu had only a small backpack as he did when he arrived, joked, "I’ve always thought your backpack was like Doraemon’s four-dimensional pocket, with anything able to pop out of it."
Hearing this, Dong Tianyu half-jokingly replied, "You guessed right. There’s a four-dimensional space inside the backpack."
However, when Dong Tianyu usually took things out of his backpack, he wasn’t overly secretive. So anyone who spent time with Dong Tianyu, even without personally handling his bag, could tell by observing how he took items out that the backpack he treasured was just an ordinary one, not a magical item or a storage tool.
As they chatted and laughed before taking their seats, Dong Tianyu suddenly began to feel frequent heart palpitations. Sensing this condition, he immediately spread his Divine Sense to search for the cause of his increased heartbeat.
It should have been simple; just extending Divine Sense should have been enough to find whatever was causing the feeling of alarm.
But perhaps due to having encountered similar situations before, by the time Dong Tianyu used his Divine Sense to scan the plane, he discovered that parts of the aircraft had been replaced with more advanced metallic materials, some of which naturally had energy-shielding effects.
Thus, when Dong Tianyu expanded his Divine Sense, there were areas on the plane and the control tower that completely vanished from his perception due to the power of the new metal.
Realizing he lacked the ability to find the source of the palpitations, Dong Tianyu had no intentions of playing the solitary hero. He first took Ye Liuyun and left the plane, then reported his findings to the security officer nearby.
After confirming Dong Tianyu’s discovery multiple times, the security officer directly contacted the control tower. They recalled the plane for inspection, and before all passengers had even disembarked, they detonated the plane.
