Chapter 694: Chapter 448 You Report to the Police and Capture Me_1

The exchange meeting ended, and having completed his primary task for the trip, the next day, Feng Yi returned to the library’s database to watch a video of the neighboring meteorology conference.

The videos in the database available for public viewing were edited and incomplete, but they still provided a general idea.

However, the content Feng Yi wanted to know was not included.

After watching the video and checking some more materials, he finally left the library.

He hadn’t asked Jia to pick him up, as Feng Yi intended to take a walk outside to clear his mind and contemplate the various questions piling up in his brain.

The biggest question was what other purpose could his grandmother have had for investing in the "Butterfly Project"?

If she was merely providing support with a huge investment, she wouldn’t have made a point of distancing the Ancestral Factory from it. What deeper meaning lay behind the words she left?

Some things, the steward couldn’t know, and only a member of the same lineage could feel it.

But Feng Yi didn’t understand his grandmother’s way of doing things well enough to grasp the deeper implications.

He wasn’t that smart.

Perhaps, he really had to wait until the "Butterfly Project" was put into practical exercise before he could find answers by witnessing it firsthand.

Areas that hadn’t been cleared were still covered with a thick layer of snow, but the sky had already cleared up.

The climate experienced a minor fluctuation this year, resulting in heavier than usual snowfall in N City. Sunshine reflected off the snow, glaring brightly.

In the city area, it was better—the roads were cleared, surrounded by towering buildings. But in the suburban areas, low-density residential zones were covered with wide expanses of grass and forests blanketed in white snow.

Feng Yi took out his sunglasses and put them on.

Among the people around him snapping photos and enjoying the snow, there were others wearing sunglasses too, and not just Feng Yi. Some wore them for eye protection, while others purely for fashion.

Feng Yi also saw some individuals wearing ski goggles, presumably planning to find a suitable spot nearby for some fun.

Walking slowly along the roadside, Feng Yi’s phone rang in his pocket.

He glanced at the caller ID and answered.

"Uncle Bao?"

"Feng Yi, you’re still in N City, right? Where are you, and do you have some free time? Let’s have a meal together. It’s not easy to be here, let’s chat."

Uncle Bao wasn’t the type to have leisure time, so calling at this moment meant he happened to be free. After this, even if Uncle Bao was willing, he might not be able to make the time.

As Feng Yi had already completed his task and had nothing else to do.

"Sure. My current location..."

Feng Yi looked around, didn’t see a clear street sign, and sent his location directly.

"You ran all that way to build a snowman?" Uncle Bao joked on the other end.

"Just taking a walk here," replied Feng Yi.

"No car following you? Then don’t bother calling your driver. Wait there for a bit, I’ll send someone to pick you up."

After the call, Feng Yi didn’t continue walking but stood there, watching a group of kids building a snowman nearby.

After watching for a while, he lost interest and looked up at the distance, emptying his mind of all the complicated thoughts.

Soon, however, certain scents pulled Feng Yi’s attention back.

He discerned them carefully and looked up.

A trendy guy wearing a fur coat was walking and chatting on the phone, bursting into raucous laughter about something.

Feng Yi’s gaze settled on his fur coat. It was gray fur, with gradient shades of color.

As the man approached, Feng Yi didn’t move aside but instead stepped forward, blocking the man’s path.

"Hey! Are you blind? You’re blocking the way!" the man exclaimed, sizing up Feng Yi and, deciding to continue forward, he shouldered past with a forceful bump, only to realize that Feng Yi hadn’t budged and he had hurt himself instead.

Wincing, he opened his mouth and a stream of expletives featuring "f**k" ensued.

As he raised a hand to pat Feng Yi’s shoulder, Feng Yi’s gaze fell upon his leather gloves.

"What are you staring at? Haven’t seen luxury items before?!" he said with a disdainful, superior look, sizing up Feng Yi.

Because he was visiting the library’s archives, Feng Yi was dressed casually today, and had deliberately worn a backpack that was convenient for carrying documents and writing tools—indeed, it was a backpack from the souvenir set given at the exchange meeting.

Feng Yi disregarded the man’s contemptuous gaze and said,

"The coat you’re wearing... from seven wolves... seven adult wolves, their fur..."

The man was momentarily taken aback, then sneered and said, "Maybe you should think again about what you just said?"

Feng Yi continued to look at him silently. Judging by the man’s emotional signals, he knew the truth.

This was serious.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

The trendy guy’s gaze flickered, but there was no fear in it.

The fur coat he wore was indeed made from wolf skin, and he had hunted the wolves himself.

Using legal hunting grounds as a cover, he secretly hunted in prohibited areas, taking down wolves with superior quality fur and deers protected by the "Conservation Law."

This wasn’t their first time pulling off such a scheme, and they had never been caught.

Wearing a fur coat and gloves made from his own prey gave him a greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction!

Nowadays, with a large trading volume in the faux fur market and top-grade faux fur indistinguishable from real fur, it was tough for ordinary people to tell the difference. In N City, many dressed in top-notch faux fur, so even if he wore the real thing, it wasn’t conspicuous.

He always told people outside that it was top-tier faux fur, custom-made by the best workshop.

No one had noticed before, or perhaps someone had suspected but hadn’t dared to say anything.

Who would have thought that on the way to meet a friend today, almost at the destination, he would run into a damn fool who bluntly exposed the truth!

And said it with such certainty!

However, he wasn’t afraid at all.

Being arrogant was his usual demeanor, and even now that he had been exposed, he didn’t panic but instead looked at Feng Yi with great interest.

"Does your family sell furs?" he said.

"Not at all," Feng Yi replied.

"Listen, you know where this is, right? I’m very rich!" he added.

"I’m very rich as well," Feng Yi followed up.

"I also have noble blood!"

"What a coincidence, so do I."

Feng Yi didn’t feel the slightest bit insecure when he said this.

In terms of lineage and historical background, what kind of nobility could compare with my clan?!

The fashionable young man couldn’t help but laugh at Feng Yi’s consecutive responses of "I’m very rich too" and "What a coincidence, so do I".

He didn’t believe Feng Yi’s words for a second.

"Hey, kid! I’m not joking with you!"

"I’m not joking either. You’ve broken the law."

"Oh, is that so, what of it?"

He flicked at his trendy hairdo. The wind was picking up, messing up his hair.

Then, pointing at Feng Yi, he said, "Here’s some advice for you, though it’s tough to swallow, I suggest you take note. Play by my rules, then leave without further ado, and everyone stays unharmed. Got it?"

The threat was palpable.

Feng Yi said nothing but still stood in his way.

"Seems like you don’t understand," he said as he shook his cell phone, "My brothers are on their way here. Now, you can turn around and run home to cry. Hahaha!"

Feng Yi asked, "Are your brothers the ones who poached with you?"

The man replied lazily, "Yeah, so what?"

He leisurely lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, then used Feng Yi’s sunglasses as a mirror to fix his hair, unconcernedly saying:

"Then go ahead, call the cops on me."

Feng Yi looked at him for a few seconds, then picked up his phone to dial.

The man glanced over and immediately scoffed upon realizing that it wasn’t the emergency number being dialed.

"And here I thought you had guts, thinking this would scare me? You weren’t even dialing the police just now! Need me to dial for you? Hmm? I’ll use my phone to call for you, believe it or not, but I’ll be in and out before you know it! Hahaha!"

He continued to unleash his disdain without restraint.

"Forget it, my brother will be here soon, don’t bother leaving. I’ll show you the cruel face of society today. This place isn’t gun-free, so remember that for next time, if there is a next time."

At one end of the road, a blue private car was speeding towards them with aggression.

At the same moment the blue car appeared, a black car emerged from the other end of the road, speeding towards them as well, with the United Protection Agency’s emblem on it.

Feng Yi smiled and said, "You shouldn’t leave either; today let me show you the cruel face of society."

The fashionable young man followed Feng Yi’s gaze, and upon recognizing the symbol on the car, the smug smile disappeared from his face instantly, and he turned to run!

Who didn’t know about the United Protection Agency’s mad dogs?!

But the wolf pelt severely limited his speed!

And what was the physical condition of an investigator from the United Protection Agency like? As long as they targeted someone, they could run even faster than a hunting dog!

An investigator who stopped his car and rushed out tackled the "Seven Wolves" trendy young man to the ground.

Melted snow mixed with grime smeared across half of his face.

The blue private car, seeing that the situation wasn’t favorable, took a sharp turn and sped off.

The car from the United Protection Agency followed in hot pursuit.

The captured trendy young man’s face turned a different shade, but he kept shouting, "My dad is..."

As he struggled, he was pinned to the ground again, ingesting a mouthful of muddy, snow-mixed water from the roadside.

Being yanked from the ground by his arm, he looked at Feng Yi with fierce eyes: "I’ll remember you, kid! Be careful where you walk from now on..."

He was cut off mid-threat.

Several black business cars, one after another, approached from the front of the road.

The cars pulled to a stop, and seven or eight men dressed in black suits got out.

The captured young man’s bold demeanor wilted.

The investigator from the United Protection Agency was also tense, on high alert, and ready to call for backup.

Feng Yi quickly said to the investigator, "Don’t be nervous, they’re here to pick me up."

Indeed, these men were sent by Uncle Bao, and the make and plate numbers of the cars, as well as the leader’s face, matched the pictures Uncle Bao had sent.

Feng Yi had told Uncle Bao that one car would be enough, but Uncle Bao wasn’t taking any chances.

In Uncle Bao’s eyes, given Feng Yi’s current reputation, three cars were already the minimum! Should anything be overlooked and an incident occurred, he couldn’t bear the responsibility!

"Good afternoon, Mr. Feng Yi, Brother Bao sent me to pick you up," the leader of the men in black politely said.

"Please wait for a moment, there’s a situation here to deal with. I’ll explain to Uncle Bao."

"No worries, you go ahead."

In the distance, those who had been playing in the snow, such as the children who were led away by their parents, while adults crowded around to watch the excitement, recording videos on their phones.

Especially the captured man, who received several close-up shots.

His wolf pelt coat, damp with snow, seemed to shimmer with a golden light under the sun.
