Chapter 509 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang
As soon as the poison gas bomb was released, Island Z was filled with smoke, and the next second, the screens of the surveillance cameras in the prison turned black at the same time.
"What happened? Was there an incident in the prison? Someone broke in?" Yi Tianfeng immediately contacted the warden, but the call was not connected.
"Isn't Pei Yun still in the outer minefield?"
"Yes! But she doesn't seem to be affected by the poison gas..."
Everyone present saw on the surveillance footage that Pei Yun was still walking towards the prison at a leisurely pace, looking calm and at ease.
"Then why did the surveillance camera in the prison suddenly break down? We have installed surveillance cameras throughout the entire Z Island. Logically, if someone else broke in, we wouldn't be unaware of it."
"Perhaps there is a problem with the prison's communication system? Everything was normal in the prison before, and there was no sign of anyone breaking in..."
Although several senior executives at the headquarters had doubts, they could still remain calm as Pei Yun was still under their surveillance.
Deputy Minister Zhao stared at the surveillance screen intently. When he saw Pei Yun break the metal door of the prison with a wave of his hand, he was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Yi Tianfeng with extreme excitement: "Minister Yi, you can activate the self-destruct blasting system in the prison. Let Pei Yun and the Zhou and Li families die in there together!"
"... Let's wait a little longer and notify the warden and guards to escape first..." said another senior executive.
Deputy Minister Zhao glared at the person who spoke: "With Pei Yun's strength, she will be able to lead them out in a short time! How can we waste time!"
Then he turned to Yi Tianfeng and said, "Minister Yi, we have already reached the ninety-nineth step, and only the last step is left! Now that Pei Yun is dead, our headquarters will no longer be restrained and afraid of her taking action. And no matter how powerful Chu Zewen is, he can't defeat you!"
Yi Tianfeng seemed to have listened to Vice Minister Zhao's words and directly activated the prison's self-destruct system.
The surveillance screen inside the prison was completely dark, but the surveillance cameras outside were still functioning normally. There were only a few "booms" and explosions one after another. Fire and thick black smoke enveloped the entire prison...
"Let the fighter squadron observe closely. If you see anyone escaping from the prison, bomb them immediately. Don't let them escape..." Yi Tianfeng ordered.
"Yes."
In the monitoring room, everyone stared at the surveillance screen with bated breath, feeling extremely nervous.
A quarter of an hour later, there was still no survivor walking out of the prison. A hideous smile appeared on Deputy Minister Zhao's face, and he said crazily as if possessed by a demon: "This bitch is finally dead! Finally dead! Hahahaha..."
The other senior executives also breathed a sigh of relief, but Yi Tianfeng remained expressionless. No one could know what he was thinking. He notified the captain of the fighter team: "...let the fighters bomb Island Z again. Don't let go of any place..."
"Minister Yi, are you worried that Pei Yun will escape?" The senior executives around him couldn't help but stop smiling when they saw Yi Tianfeng's serious face.
"I always feel like something is wrong. Pei Yun is a superpower, a superpower stronger than any of us. Her methods are not limited to this. She shouldn't die so easily..."
After Yi Tianfeng said this, everyone became serious again and stared at the screen with frowns.
These senior executives kept staring at the surveillance camera for most of the day, but Pei Yun's figure never appeared on the surveillance screen again, as if he was really killed in the prison by the explosion.
Deputy Minister Zhao looked so proud, he said: "Minister Yi, we can bomb their lair now. I will personally lead a group of superpowers to go there. Pei Yun is dead now, and Chu Zewen is probably in trouble too. Even if he is fine, we are not afraid of him and that group of rabble!"
"Wait a minute, take your men to Island Z and find the bodies of Pei Yun and others. We must first confirm whether Pei Yun is really dead..." Yi Tianfeng knew that as long as the threat of Pei Yun was gone, the rest would be easy.
But if Pei Yun hadn't died, their plan would have failed, and the Zhou and Li families would have lost their bargaining chip.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Deputy Minister Zhao left the monitoring room confidently.
A senior official asked, "Minister Yi, seven hours have passed. We watched Pei Yun go into prison and never come out again. Are you still worried that Pei Yun is not dead?"
"Don't you think it went too smoothly? First of all, as Vice Minister Zhao said, Pei Yun is a person with the ability to fly, so why did she deliberately walk slowly to the prison? Also, the next moment after we released the poison gas, the surveillance camera in the prison failed, and we could no longer detect the situation in the prison..."
Yi Tianfeng analyzed, "Is there a possibility that Pei Yun had already entered the prison, or maybe they left before I pressed the prison's self-destruct system..."
"...Who is the person walking outside the Z Island Prison in the surveillance footage?"
Of course, that was an illusion deliberately set up by Pei Yun!
Pei Yun knew that the Zhou and Li families were bargaining chips in Yi Tianfeng's hands. The moment she arrived on the island, these hostages who were regarded as bargaining chips lost their function. With Yi Tianfeng's methods, these two families would not survive.
Therefore, Pei Yun sneaked into the Z Island Prison in advance to rescue the Zhou and Li families. During this period, he activated the illusion talisman and pretended to have just arrived at Z Island in front of the monitor.
As expected, as soon as "Pei Yun" created by the magic talisman appeared on the island, Yi Tianfeng ordered the release of poison gas.
Pei Yun could only control all the surveillance cameras in the prison. She had to reveal this flaw. She gave the Zhou and Li families Baijie Pills, and then used a sleight of hand to ride on the Suzaku puppet and left Z Island before Yi Tianfeng pressed the self-destruct system...
It was already late at night when they returned to the Holy Land Alliance. As Pei Yun led the Zhou and Li families through the gate, they saw several people standing not far away.
Li Yi and Zhou An greeted him with surprise: "Dad! Mom!"
At this time, another person walked over quickly. He didn't look at anyone else and walked straight towards Pei Yun.
Pei Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to say hello, but the visitor did something unexpected. He forcefully hugged the person in front of him in his arms.
Pei Yun was completely shocked. She could feel the man in front of her losing control of his emotions, but she still frowned and pushed him away: "Chu Zewen..." Why did he suddenly hug her?
The moment he saw Pei Yun coming back, Chu Zewen felt a surge of emotion of lost and regained, which made him lose his usual rationality, but now he finally came to his senses.
"Senior Pei, when I woke up, they said you went to rescue someone. Are you okay?"
Pei Yun saw Chu Zewen had returned to normal, glanced at him, put aside what happened just now, and said calmly: "Nothing."
Wan Xiaoqing, who was not far away, saw Chu Zewen go forward and hug Pei Yun, and the bitterness in her heart could not be controlled and she inevitably felt a little lost and jealous.
In fact, ever since Chu Zewen mentioned Pei Yun when he returned to City A, she knew that Chu Zewen had special feelings for this man named "Pei Yun".
Seeing Chu Zewen's attitude towards Pei Yun, she became more certain of her intuition. The way he looked at Pei Yun was the way a man looked at a woman, the same look of appreciation and love that had once lingered on her.
This scene now only puts her guess to rest.
Her bitter expression subsided slightly, and she forced a smile, then stepped forward and said, "Senior, not long after you left, Zewen woke up. He heard that you went to Z Island to rescue people, and he has been worried about your safety. Yi Tianfeng is ruthless and can do anything..."
"Don't worry, we have rescued them safely. Go and make some arrangements." Pei Yun said, and then looked at Chu Zewen, "Let's go to the training room."
Chu Zewen nodded, and told Li Yi to take good care of the Zhou and Li families, then went to the practice room with Pei Yun.
In the training room——
Neither of them mentioned the hug just now. Pei Yun looked at Chu Zewen with great interest and said, "What secrets are there in this ancient book I gave you? Did the Jidao ancestor leave a legacy in the book?"
