Before the Storm
Teng Tao was still staring straight at Ye Nanfei, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Ye Nanfei had a feeling that this guy
was probably tempted. Yuan Gang was a little anxious: "Brother Tao, don't listen to his nonsense. Let's catch him today, and then we can
deal with him however we want. Letting him go is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains."
Ye Nanfei: "I've seen mice afraid of cats, but I've never seen a cat afraid of mice. The fun of a cat catching a mouse is
the process. Whether it eats it or not is not important, especially for cats like you who never lack food. Hehe, Yuan Gang,
with such little courage and boldness, how did you get along with Brother Tao? Don't you think your lives are too easy and your success
too easy? How does that prove your ability? Is it because of your fathers that you are where you are
today?" "I have my doubts about that, Teng Tao. Don't you think this is a challenge? Otherwise, life would be so bland and boring
. Let's have a thrilling experience. I don't think you'll disappoint me. Hehe."
Yuan Gang wanted to say something, but Teng Tao waved his hand: "Ye Nanfei, you don't need to rack your brains. What's the harm in letting
you go tonight? Just like you said, I might not be that happy if you died right away. What makes me happiest is making you wish you were
dead, and then I'll watch you suffer. The more pain you feel, the happier I'll be. So it's settled then. No matter what
method or means, as long as I take you down, everything you have will be mine. Hehe, this is a no-rules
competition, hehehe, I like it."
After he finished speaking, he was quite decisive. He had Chu Jianhua go to the inner lounge and bring Yin Lingyi out. Yin Lingyi was
tied up and her mouth was gagged. Ye Nanfei didn't dare to stay any longer: "Brother Tao, then it's settled. See you later.
I won't bother you any longer." After saying that, he turned around and left with his men.
Teng Tao said from behind, "The game starts once you step out of this gate, hehe. I hope you
don't disappoint me. Don't get knocked out in one round, that's too boring."
Sure enough, they saw figures moving in the shadows as they exited the gate. In Mengjiang, it wasn't surprising that Teng Tao could mobilize any force he wanted.
The immediate priority was to return to Ula as quickly as possible. Everyone got into the car to go home and retrieve some essentials, planning to meet up at the city gate later
. When everyone raised their arms again, they all looked at Ye Nanfei. Li Yonghong asked, "Brother Fei?
What's next? Do you have a way to deal with them?"
Ye Nanfei replied, "What way? If we can get out of here unscathed today, that's a win. What about tomorrow?
I don't know. But hiding so they can't find us should be the best approach. Then we'll slowly figure out a way."
During their confrontation with Teng Tao earlier, he seemed confident and kept provoking Teng Tao, leading everyone to believe
he was already prepared. It turned out he wasn't sure either.
Li Yongxia: "Brother Fei, you made a showdown with him without thinking it through. His influence is immense."
Ye Nanfei: "If I hadn't used that to lure him, do you think we could have gotten out? If the police really came in,
would we have resisted arrest? Don't think about anything else now, hurry back to Ula to make arrangements. Time is running out, and I feel Teng Tao is already
impatient."
It was already past midnight when they returned to Ula. This return was somewhat chaotic; they had essentially fled back.
As Ye Nanfei himself said, he had no idea how to fight Teng Tao, because the difference in strength was
too great. He couldn't possibly fight him. He didn't know how much power Teng Tao could mobilize in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. At the very least,
getting Li Yongxia and the others wanted wouldn't be a problem. Once wanted, all the police, even law enforcement activists,
would be your enemies, and you'd be plunged into a vast ocean of people's war. There's no reason for him not to use that power.
It's uncertain how many other government departments he can mobilize. Investigating your counterfeit goods and
tax evasion will likely close your shops. The scale of this attack is probably beyond what the Ji family can handle
; he'll go all out to destroy you from the start. And he'll do it all legally and openly. If you try to resist, you'll be
going against the state apparatus, so you can't fight back. The only thing you can think of now is to implement a scorched-earth policy—
hide everything you can, collect everything you can. You want to start a war, but you won't find an opponent.
First, arrange for Tie Dan to inform Mule and the others to spread the word. Jiangbei Tian Qiulan's shop will
be closed starting tomorrow. Move anything valuable; don't open for business until you receive notification from Ye Nanfei.
The same goes for Mule's repair shop; inform Fourth Brother and the others to hide as much as possible and avoid being caught by the police.
Li Yongxia was tasked with organizing the remaining people to gather supplies for wilderness survival. They first tallied what was needed
, then assigned tasks to individuals to find solutions, temporarily using Ye Nanfei's shop as a base. Ye Nanfei needed to
go home to make arrangements. Xiao Li and Sister Hong were to take their child back to their parents' homes. Ideally, all of his family members should leave Wula and go to
relatives' or friends' homes. The money needed to be withdrawn separately the next day; if the bank froze it, he'd be left with nothing
. There was no time to explain to Sister Hong; he could only say that enemies had come for revenge and they had to hide. Sister Hong had never seen
Ye Nanfei so agitated, assuming he was in serious trouble. She also recalled why he hadn't gone home and almost ended up
homeless. She didn't dare ask further.
Everything was being arranged tensely. By the time Ye Nanfei had withdrawn all the money from the bank, hidden it, and
sent Sister Hong and the others away, almost the entire morning had passed. When he returned to the shop, everyone was ready
except for him. Mule, Tiedan, Chouqiu, Maorou, and Xiaomei were all there. Ye Nanfei told Mule to hide quickly
. Mule asked, "Master, what happened? Why didn't you take me?"
Ye Nanfei replied, "Why would I take you? Are you wanted?"
Mule said, "Huh? No, I'm not."
Ye Nanfei said, "If you're not, why are you making a fuss? See these people? They're all out of options, wanted by the authorities.
I have to take them and you hide first. Do you think this is a joke? Hide quickly. I'll find you if anything happens.
I don't have time to..." "Don't open the shop before I give you the notice. Are you short on cash? Do you need me to lend you some money?"
The younger sister asked, "Ye Nanfei? What's wrong? Who are they? What happened?"
Ye Nanfei didn't have time to answer her, but she kept pestering him, "Oh, my dear little miss,
this is a big deal! Don't cause trouble. Go to school quietly and don't get into any more trouble.
I'll tell you what happened after this is all over. We need to leave quickly, or we'll be late. Tiedan, go home and make arrangements."
"Alright, you and Stinky Ball, and Cat Meat, don't show yourselves in public either. Stinky Ball, come with us first. The three of you, get
ready to be liaisons."
With everything prepared, five motorcycles carrying nine people sped towards
the Dapingling area, located between Mengjiang and Wula. This place was at the border of two administrative regions. Back when Mao Zedong was leading the revolution, wasn't he hiding in
this area at the junction of three provinces? Its advantage lay in being a no-man's-land, far from the reach of the emperor, with high mountains, dense forests, and a sparse population.
While such places were inconvenient in terms of transportation and daily life, they were safe. Unless a large-scale military search was launched,
there was no one to arrest.
This place was discovered during several trips between Mengjiang and Wula, and had been there hunting with my father-in-law. It was
mountainous and densely forested, located between two cities, and accessible by road from the forest—a place where one could advance or retreat as needed. Five
motorcycles—Ye Nanfei's was a 125cc, the others were all Happiness 250cc—were powerful enough to take off from the highway and
head deeper into the dense forest along a forest path. Where there were no roads, as long as they weren't going uphill, the motorcycles could still
navigate through the woods. Ye Nanfei chose a spot and set up camp.
Although everyone was quite tired, they were also very excited, as if they had returned to their days in the forest,
under the bright sunshine, carefree and without a care in the world. Ye Nanfei didn't need to worry about the specifics; although they hadn't done this for many years, the tasks
were familiar, and besides, Li Yongxia was in charge. Ye Nanfei went to gather herbs and build defensive and warning perimeters. When he
returned, the tents were already set up, and Yin Lingyi and Li Yonghong were busy cooking.
In the center was a large tent, the old-fashioned kind used by the Oroqen people. The nine of them sat around it
without feeling crowded at all. Five smaller tents, varying in shape and material, were set up around it. Ye Nanfei's backpack remained
unchanged, always ready for action; he'd simply shouldered it for this escape. While setting up the tent, Li Yongxia
pulled out those unforgettable items, her heart filled with emotion. Each item brought back memories
of the past. She painstakingly set up the tent, making it clear that it wasn't just for Ye Nanfei alone
.
After dinner, Ye Nanfei sent Chouqiu home, instructing him to be careful, keep a close eye on Ula's situation, and
report any developments immediately. The stinky ball disappeared in a flash. The day and night of commotion had left everyone exhausted,
but they all lingered in the large tent, reluctant to leave. A campfire burned in the center, and everyone lay sprawled on the soft grass around them.
Li Yonghong, despite all these years, hadn't changed her habit; she was just older now and no longer snuggled into Ye Nanfei's
arms, but leaned against him. Li Yongxia sat beside her on the other side. Minako, who had practiced Japanese kneeling since childhood,
maintained her posture even in this state of exhaustion, her eyes half-closed, seemingly always out of place with those around her.
Of course, Ye Nanfei was most concerned about how his master had died, how they had arrived in Mengjiang County,
how they had met Teng Tao, and how they had spent these past years—it was a long story. Seeing that Yin Lingyi was
showing signs of pregnancy, Zhang Mo carefully stood guard to the side, and Ye Nanfei first asked about his master.
Yin Lingyi: "The second year after you left, Grandpa suddenly passed away. I think it was from exhaustion. Because after you
left, he was anxious to write down some of his things. I saw him writing and writing every day. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. He
always said, 'There's not enough time, it's too late. If Nanfei were here, that would be great.'"
Ye Nanfei was heartbroken when he heard this. Of course, he understood his master's intention. He wanted to
record all his thoughts and learning. This was all because he hadn't worked hard enough and hadn't learned a fraction of what his master had to say. "Master,
did you suffer when you passed away? Did you leave any words?"
Yin Lingyi: "You didn't suffer at all when you passed away. You were still writing the night before. I couldn't keep up with you, so I
went to sleep first. But when I woke up the next morning, I saw you slumped over the table. I thought you were asleep, but when I touched you, I
realized you had already passed away." As she recounted the scene, Yin Lingyi couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief, and tears streamed down her face again
.
He then added, "But he had already instructed me beforehand that his sword and
all the books he wrote must be given to you. He said that everything he had in his life was contained in those books." As he spoke
, he gestured for Zhang Mo to take something out of his backpack. It looked somewhat like a belt, but with a sword hilt at one end. Everyone's eyes
were drawn to it, wondering, "Is this a sword? How can it be so flexible? It can bend like a belt. Could
it be the legendary belt sword?"
Yin Lingyi: "This sword is Grandpa's most cherished possession. You've been his apprentice for so long, and he's never shown it to you
. I heard Grandpa say that when he was young, during the Boxer Rebellion, he robbed a foreigner. What he took was a walking
stick, but later he discovered that a sword could be drawn from inside. It's incredibly flexible; no matter how you bend it, it always returns to its original shape.
Grandpa then made a leather sheath out of deerskin and modified the hilt so it could be worn as a belt. As for those books,
I can't bring them out; they're hidden in the old house. Go back and get them when you have time."
Ye Nanfei solemnly accepted the sword and looked towards... He placed the sword facing east, knelt down, and kowtowed three times: "Master,
I will definitely keep it safe for you. I will study the books you left behind diligently and pass them down from generation to generation." After doing
this, he carefully drew the sword, and everyone's eyes lit up. Even those who didn't know its value could tell it was a good item
, because the blade emitted a bluish light. The blade wasn't wide; at its widest point at the base of the hilt, it was only two fingers wide, and at the tip, only
one finger wide. It was slightly thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, not particularly sharp. He bent it with his hand, and indeed, it was very resilient.
When he released it, it bounced back, making a buzzing sound.
The hilt had clearly been modified. Originally, the guard and pommel were round, but his master had changed them to a flat shape, making it easier
to wear at the waist without getting in the way. The hilt and blade were integrated, likely made of the same material. This gave
the feeling of a heavy hilt and a light blade, which, while sacrificing some lethality, made it very easy and comfortable to use. Ye Nanfei
casually twirled the hilt a few times, the force combined with the sword's resilience creating a sense of perfect unity between the blade and the hilt,
which Ye Nanfei found incredibly appealing. No wonder his master cherished it so much; it truly was a marvel.
