Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Hello, Star Ye!

The Lightning Marten’s figure transformed into a streak of white light, swiftly circling the four female warriors before appearing beside Ye Wumei, who was bound up like a zongzi, and let out a light howl.

As its howl sounded, the four female warriors who were trying to capture it seemed to have all the bones sucked out of their bodies and collapsed on the ground simultaneously.

With its speed, the Lightning Marten used its sharp front claws to quickly sever the tendons in the hands and feet of the four female warriors who had encircled it, depriving them of their ability to move, and then notified Fang Bai with a howl that it had dealt with the four women inside the house.

Three of the female warriors were mid-level Yellow Level, and one was a high-rank Yellow Level; joined together, their strength was formidable. However, they were facing a Lightning Marten comparable to a warrior of Profound Level Perfection and had no power to resist.

If the Lightning Marten had wanted to kill them, their tendons would surely not be the only things severed—it would have been their throats.

The Lightning Marten’s favorite method of killing was to slice a long gash in the victim’s throat with its sharp front claws, allowing the blood to spurt wildly.

"Little Mink is a success!"

With raised eyebrows and a joyous expression, Fang Bai listened to the marten’s howl.

Then, he moved swiftly, leaping out of the concealing underbrush like a soaring Dapeng and landed in front of one of the female warriors guarding the house.

Before the female warrior could react, Fang Bai’s fingers flickered across her body, striking several points in rapid succession.

The female warrior, her acupoints blocked, immediately collapsed, unable to move or speak, her eyes reflecting horror.

The other three mid-level Yellow Level female warriors almost simultaneously noticed Fang Bai and quickly drew their guns, preparing to shoot at him.

Each of these female warriors was skilled in martial arts and armed with firearms, which could be considered as adding wings to a tiger.

While the use of firearms was often scorned by other martial artists in the Ancient Martial World, it was undeniable that firearms could be quite effective at times.

Especially in current society, for the weaker disciples of the Semi-Hidden Sects, carrying firearms for self-defense had become the norm.

However, using firearms against Yellow Level Martial Artists might be effective to some extent, but using them against warriors of Profound Level Perfection like Fang Bai meant they wouldn’t even get the chance to fire a shot.

Before the three female warriors could shoot, Fang Bai slightly raised his arms, and a few inch-long steel needles turned into specks of cold light and sped towards them.

At such a short distance, the speed of the hidden weapons launched by Fang Bai was not much slower than that of bullets.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

The needles broke through the air with a faint sound, each embedding in the chests of the three female warriors.

The three could only feel a numbness in their chests, followed quickly by an overwhelming wave of drowsiness sweeping over them. As darkness fell upon their sight, their guns dropped to the ground, and they collapsed into unconsciousness.

Having dealt with the four female warriors outside, Fang Bai pushed open the door and strode in confidently.

At that moment, the four female warriors inside the house lay on the ground, feet to feet, twisting their heads to look at the Lightning Marten perched on Ye Wumei’s shoulder, their eyes wide open with expressions of terror,

Ye Wumei, tightly bound, also wore a look of stunned bewilderment, obviously unaware of what had just happened.

"Star Ye, hello!"

Fang Bai walked straight over to Ye Wumei, crouched down, reached for the ropes on her body, and with two fingers, he lightly snipped them, causing the tough and sturdy ropes to break apart.

The Lightning Marten leaped from Ye Wumei’s shoulder to Fang Bai’s, calling out proudly with a "chirp chirp,’ apparently boasting about its accomplishment.

Ye Wumei wriggled a few times, freeing herself from the ropes and standing up to move her numb limbs. She glanced at the Lightning Marten with some trepidation, then looked at Fang Bai with confusion and asked, "Who... who are you?"

Yesterday evening, when Ye Wumei was signing a poster for Baili Mingyue, Fang Bai stood to one side; however, Ye Wumei was in a hurry to leave and did not pay close attention to Fang Bai. Therefore, she couldn’t recognize him when they met again now.

"I’m here to rescue you,"

Fang Bai answered with a smile.

"Rescue me?"

Ye Wumei’s face brightened at first, but then she frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Are you the expert my father hired?"

"No,"

Fang Bai shook his head.

"Are you with the police?"

"No."

"Then you..."

"Strictly speaking, I am a doctor. Oh, right, one of my friends is a fan of your singing. Last night, I attended your concert at the Yanjing Sports Stadium with that friend..."

"How did you know I was kidnapped?"

Because Fang Bai’s appearance was so sudden, Ye Wumei worried this might be a trick the kidnappers had staged, and she continued to ask cautiously, with a guarded expression.

"That question is quite naive!"

Fang Bai really wanted to refuse answering the question, but to alleviate Ye Wumei’s doubts about him, he had no choice but to respond helplessly, "Don’t forget, you are a big star watched by tens of thousands. Every move you make attracts a lot of attention. The news of your disappearance and possible kidnapping spread last night, and by this morning, it was all over Huaxia. It would have been weird if I didn’t know about it."

"Then why did you come to rescue me?"

This question was what Ye Wumei cared about the most. In her mind, if Fang Bai was neither with the Ye Family nor the police, why would he come to rescue her without any reason?

"I rescued you for three reasons,"

Fang Bai held up one finger and said, "First, for the reward. After your disappearance, the Ye Family and the police offered rewards of ten million and one million respectively for information about you. I wanted the money, so I made a move."

"Second, to help a friend who is a police officer,"

Fang Bai held up a second finger and continued, "My police officer friend currently works at the Yanjing Police Station and is in charge of the case of your disappearance. I know she is under a lot of pressure, so for the sake of our friendship, I helped her out."

"Third..."

Fang Bai held up a third finger, then added, "The friend who went with me to your concert last night is your devoted fan. After learning about your possible kidnapping, she begged me to rescue you, so I came."

Ye Wumei found Fang Bai’s earnest words convincing, and after some thought, she asked, "This island is probably a thousand miles away from Yanjing. How did you find this place?"

In Ye Wumei’s mind, there were only two ways Fang Bai could have found this place.

First, he witnessed her kidnapping and then tracked her here.

Second, he had an insider within the kidnapping team who could provide real-time information.

But, considering what Fang Bai had just said, it seemed neither of these possibilities existed.

"Actually, I was able to find you thanks to this little guy!"

Fang Bai pointed to the Lightning Marten perched on his shoulder and said, "This little guy has a very sensitive sense of smell. It picked up your scent at the scene of your disappearance last night, and then led me by following your scent..."
