279 The Mastermind

After learning that Zhao Xiaoqi and Hai Yue were gone, Lu Benwei stopped chasing.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Feng asked.

“Hai Yue and Zhao Xiaoqi have disappeared.,” Lu Benwei responded.

“Huh? Is it related to that person just now?” Lin Feng’s brain reacted quickly.

Lu Benwei nodded and said, “Let’s go and find Chu Yan first.”

After that, the two of them went to Chu Yan’s room. Liu Yi and the hotel manager also rushed over.

“How is it? Did you find that person?” Liu Yi asked.

Lu Benwei opened his eyes and retracted the spiritual awareness cobweb he had sent out with his Eye of Insight.

“I didn’t find him,” Lu Benwei said as he looked at the hotel manager.

“I’m really sorry, but we didn’t find anything unusual today,” the hotel manager said, “But don’t worry, I’ll check the surveillance immediately and the truth will come to light.”

Lu Benwei waved his hand and said, “Alright.”

At this time, Liu Yi asked, “Lu Benwei, think about it. Who have you been fighting with these days?”

Lu Benwei frowned and fell into deep thought.

“The people who have the biggest enmity with me are only a few people from Chang’an Hunter University. But with their means, how could they control the lot drawing process?”

Lu Benwei had already told Liu Yi about his encounter with Li Tiancheng.

Liu Yi also frowned and muttered to himself, “Since the other party was able to find Li Tiancheng, it proves that they are at least acquaintances.

“At the same time, being able to manipulate the lot drawing process means that the other party has a strong background. Lu Benwei, are you sure you haven’t provoked anyone these days?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Benwei’s brows relaxed, and he gradually had an idea.

“I think I know who it is. Wang Qiaochu from Yanjing Hunter University.”

“Wang Qiaochu?” Liu Yi frowned slightly and was very puzzled. “Who’s this guy?”

“He’s one of my pursuers, from the Wang family of Dragon City,” Chu Yan said without any expression.

“When we first arrived in Li City, we met him on the street. He deliberately looked for trouble because Lin Feng called me the wrong way, so we fought with him. Later, Lu Benwei’s sister arrived and helped us teach him a lesson.”

“So that’s how it is…” Liu Yi touched his forehead and said, “But he’s from the Wang family of Dragon City. He’s no small fry. It’s said that eight out of ten strengthening materials in the entire Dragon Country must go through the Wang family of Dragon City for trade.”

After a pause, Liu Yi suggested, “How about this, I’ll go find the principal and ask him to come forward and help you guys resolve your grudges.”

“No need, I’ll go find him,” Chu Yan said expressionlessly and walked directly to the elevator.

“I’ll go with you.” Lin Feng followed closely behind.

Lu Benwei was stunned and immediately followed.

“Go on, go on.” Liu Yi saw that this team was very united and felt quite gratified.

Suddenly, Liu Yi’s body trembled, and he muttered to himself, “The other party wants to harm Lu Benwei. Now, they have kidnapped Zhao Xiaoqi and Hai Yue. If they meet, they will tear down the hotel. No, I still have to talk to the principal.”

After saying that, Liu Yi hurried upstairs and went to Chen Yuan’s room.

At the same time, in the only presidential suite on the resting floor of the participants of Yanjing Hunter University.

“Li Tiancheng actually told Lu Benwei?!” Wang Qiaochu cursed.

“I almost didn’t succeed. If I didn’t need you to win the tournament, I wouldn’t care if you’re the number one genius of Yanjing Hunter University. I’ll take care of you after the tournament.”

In front of him, Zhao Xiaoqi and Hua Yue were tied up. Their mouths were taped, revealing two pairs of resentful eyes.

“What should we do now, Qiaochu?”

In Wang Qiaochu’s room, there were a few students from Yanjing Hunter University and a few bodyguards in black.

“What else can I do? I’ll find Lu Benwei to settle the score when I get out!” Wang Qiaochu let out a breath of resentment.

After that, Wang Qiaochu tilted his head, and a few bodyguards immediately took action. They dragged Hai Yue and Zhao Xiaoqi into a secret passage in the room.

After everything was done, there was a sudden knock on the door to Wang Qiaochu’s room.

“Who is it? Didn’t I put up a ‘Don’t Disturb’ sign at the door?” Wang Qiaochu cursed viciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the door was kicked open. Chu Yan coldly said, “Wang Qiaochu, I’ve finally found you.”

“Yanyan, why did you come here?” Wang Qiaochu was taken aback. He never thought that Chu Yan would come to him first.

“Where are they?” Chu Yan’s eyes were extremely cold.

Wang Qiaochu’s expression changed, and he pretended to be confused. “Yanyan, what are you talking about?”

“Stop talking nonsense and let them go!” Chu Yan continued. She was too lazy to beat around the bush with Wang Qiaochu.

“Yanyan, I swear to God, I really don’t have the people you’re talking about here.” Wang Qiaochu spread out his hands, his expression bewildered.

“Don’t worry, Yanyan. Since they are very important to you, I’ll help you find them.”

After he said that, he turned his head and said to the few of them, “You guys, follow Yanyan. Her orders are my orders.”

Chu Yan smiled coldly, and her eyes flashed with extreme coldness.

“Wang Qiaochu, you’re a natural-born performer. Do you think I don’t know whether you caught Zhao Xiaoqi and Hai Yue? I’ll give you a piece of advice, you’d better let them go, or I’ll tear this place down.”

Seeing that he could not hide it any longer, Wang Qiaochu pouted helplessly. The bodyguard next to him immediately understood what he meant and released Zhao Xiaoqi and Hai Yue from the secret passage.

“Qiqi.” Chu Yan’s heart ached when she saw Zhao Xiaoqi’s injured hands.

“Yanyan, I’m fine. This small injury is nothing.” Zhao Xiaoqi comforted Chu Yan.

Wang Qiaochu’s lips twitched at the sight. “Yanyan, I’ve already released them. You see…

...

“Will it be over if you let them go?” A cold voice came from the room as Lu Benwei and Lin Feng stepped in.

“Lu Benwei?”

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes will turn red. Wang Qiaochu’s eyes instantly turned red.

“I was just worrying about how to settle the score with you, but you came to find me yourself.”

After that, Wang Qiaochu’s bodyguard immediately took action to teach Lu Benwei a lesson.

“Wang Qiaochu, you dare?” Chu Yan shouted coldly.

“Since I dared to kidnap your friends, I naturally dare to touch Lu Benwei!” Wang Qiaochu’s voice turned even colder.

However, Lu Benwei was so strong that he knocked out a level-50 bodyguard with one punch.

Then, with a whip-like kick, he sent one of Wang Qiaochu’s followers flying and knocked into many people.
