"This is troublesome!"
After Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao left, they didn't return to the hotel where they had been staying. Instead, they went to a street stall, ordered five bowls of wontons and four egg-filled flatbreads, and began to eat.
Firstly, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were truly hungry. Secondly, Ye Feng needed to find an opportunity to observe if anyone was tailing them.
He wasn't naive enough to believe those people would just let him go like that…
"Huh?"
While eating the egg-filled flatbread, Ye Feng discreetly looked around himself as he went to ask the stall owner for condiments.
His observation revealed that someone was indeed watching him. Moreover, the guy seemed to have been there since the Free Trade Zone, followed them to the teahouse, but didn't dare to go inside, hiding nearby. When Ye Feng left the teahouse, he followed again…
"Could it be that Han Qiuli's people only spotted me in the Free Trade Zone and wanted to rob me?"
Ye Feng ate his wontons with a calm expression, pondering in his mind.
Before long, the ravenous Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao had a satisfying meal.
"Big..."
Xiao Xiao was about to speak, but Ye Feng made a silencing gesture, waving his finger gently.
"Brother, these wontons are delicious~"
Xiao Xiao picked up her bowl and ate the last wonton, exclaiming in praise.
After putting down the bowl, her hand accidentally brushed against the bag on the table's edge. The bag instantly fell, and Xiao Xiao bent down to retrieve it.
"Big brother, someone is tracking us. They are behind us, but I'm not sure of the specifics. I just feel a gaze secretly watching us from afar!"
"And they keep changing direction. Now they've gone to my right!"
Xiao Xiao whispered rapidly to Ye Feng. As she finished speaking, she had already picked up the fallen bag and placed it back on the table.
"Xiao Xiao, you..."
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Xiao Xiao handed the bag to Ye Feng, precisely blocking her profile. "Sister Lingxi taught me~"
"En!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly, nodded, took the bag, and then got up to leave with Xiao Xiao.
…
Since it was still early before sunset, Ye Feng led Xiao Xiao around the Tyrannosaurus Rex Base, lingering for a considerable time in crowded places, especially in busy shops… They even watched a street brawl…
…
Evening,
"Big brother, the person I sensed is not the same one you mentioned!"
"I've seen the man in the baseball cap you spoke of. It's not him. The person I sensed seems to have been in our blind spot!"
At a circus performance, amidst the noisy environment, Xiao Xiao said softly to Ye Feng while watching the performance in the center.
"It seems things are getting a bit troublesome!"
Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Ye Feng felt a slight weight in his heart.
The man in the baseball cap Xiao Xiao mentioned was someone Ye Feng had noticed while eating wontons. During their aimless wandering in the afternoon, Ye Feng had managed to shake off the man several times. However, the gaze Xiao Xiao sensed had been constant…
"Let's go, Xiao Xiao. It's getting dark. Let's find a place to rest!"
Ye Feng glanced at the sky, mused for a moment, and said to Xiao Xiao.
"Oh, okay!~"
Xiao Xiao nodded and quickly took Ye Feng's hand, walking towards the edge of the crowd.
As the sky grew darker,
The place Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao arrived at became more secluded and darker. Their walking speed also increased considerably.
At a corner, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao's figures instantly disappeared.
"Thump thump!~"
A rapid footsteps followed closely behind, belonging to the man in the baseball cap they had discussed earlier.
"Damn it! Followed him from the market to the teahouse, then from the teahouse to the tailor's shop… the circus, the spring, the general store… I followed this kid for almost half the Tyrannosaurus Rex Base…"
"Finally found a big fat sheep, and now I've lost him again!"
The man in the baseball cap reached the corner, scanned the area, and finding no sign of Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, he couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, a calm, young male voice sounded from very close behind the man in the baseball cap.
Immediately after, a gleaming watermelon knife was extended over his shoulder, resting on the side of his neck. The coldness emanating from the long metal blade made his neck instantly covered in goosebumps, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Brother, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
The man in the baseball cap raised his hands and explained with a dry laugh.
"Brother, this watermelon knife, you're from Honglei Brother's crew, right? I'm Ji Pi A San from Thorny Fish Street. Don't worry, my melons are ripe,"
The man in the baseball cap spoke a phrase that sounded like a code.
"We're all from the Tyrannosaurus Rex Base, but… but let's not have a case of the dragon king causing trouble in his own waters!"
Seeing the long knife pressed against his neck move slightly to the side, the man in the baseball cap gained some confidence. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ye Feng.
"Kid, it's you?"
Upon seeing Ye Feng, the man in the baseball cap was shocked.
"Speak, who sent you?"
Ye Feng didn't answer the other's question, but looked at the burly man in the baseball cap with icy eyes.
"I… No one sent me."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Ji Pi A San instinctively froze for a moment, then his face twitched, and he forced a smile. "Kid, oh no, little brother, it's a misunderstanding… all a misunderstanding…"
"Little brother, you've misunderstood. If you had said you were from Honglei Brother's crew earlier, I wouldn't have…"
"Look, this Honglei Brother is really something, sending you to the market to sell such precious goods…"
Ji Pi A San acted as if he was very familiar with Ye Feng. As he spoke with more enthusiasm, he suddenly pointed behind Ye Feng and shouted, "Honglei Brother, you're here!"
Ye Feng quickly turned his head to look behind him. At this moment, a cold smile appeared on Ji Pi A San's lips. His hands, which were raised high, suddenly moved, reaching towards his waist, as if to draw the gun tucked there.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Ji Pi A San's hand touched his pistol, a piercing whistle sounded. It was Ye Feng's watermelon knife, thrown out with extreme speed, directly stabbing towards Ji Pi A San's chest.
"Chik~ Chk Chk!…"
In a flash, the watermelon knife, which had been in Ye Feng's hand, pierced through Ji Pi A San's chest, pulling his entire body several meters away. Blood spurted out violently, instantly dyeing Ji Pi A San's chest red.
"You…"
Ji Pi A San let out a "you" from his throat, then his body went limp, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
And from beginning to end, Ye Feng had not turned his head to look at Ji Pi A San, but instead kept his gaze fixed on the area behind him.
"What the heck? I thought someone named Honglei really showed up!"
Ye Feng muttered and then turned his head back. The moment his head returned to its normal position, his eyes widened in shock.
"So fast!"
