One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

The person who dared to intercept people in Beijing, right under the noses of NaDuTong and Tianshifu, must be a desperate criminal.

Even if he and Bao'er catch up, they'd likely be easy prey if the other side outnumbered them or set a trap.

"In these high-level situations, you can't fight head-on; you have to call in reinforcements!"

Zhang Chulan made a very clear-headed judgment.

Without hesitation, he made phone calls to call for help.

The phone was answered after only one ring.

"Hello? Grandson."

Zhang Tianyi's voice came through the receiver: "Have you picked up your junior uncle? What would you like to eat tonight? I'll have the housekeeper prepare the dishes."

Hearing that calm voice, Zhang Chulan's panicked heart calmed down a bit.

He took a deep breath and quickly reported in the most concise language:

"Master! Something's gone wrong! Junior Uncle and Xia He were picked up from the airport ahead of time in a fake car!"

"The opponent has used a fake card; they're probably after the secret Xia He holds!"

"Bao'er and I are about to go after them, while Fourth Brother is checking the surveillance footage!"

The sound of turning pages stopped on the other end of the phone.

"Intercepted?"

Zhang Tianyi's voice remained calm and unhurried, without any discernible emotional fluctuation.

He simply asked:

"Got it. You two stop running around like headless chickens, stay in the car and be careful."

"Ah? Master, what about Junior Uncle and the others..."

Zhang Chulan was taken aback.

"Hang up."

"Beep...beep..."

Zhang Tianyi hung up the phone immediately.

Zhang Chulan held his phone and looked at Feng Baobao, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Zhang Chulan, what did Zhang Pika say?" Feng Baobao asked, tilting her head.

"The advisor said... we shouldn't wander off."

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, looked at the traffic outside the window, and suddenly realized what was happening. A look of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Sister Bao'er... I have a feeling that someone in Beijing is about to be in big trouble."

……

at the same time.

On the outskirts of Beijing, at the junction of a desolate dead-end road and an abandoned factory.

"Well……"

A low, painful groan broke the deathly silence of the wilderness.

Zhang Lingyu's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she opened her eyes with difficulty.

A sharp pain shot through my brain, and my limbs still felt sore and weak.

He bit his tongue, forcing himself to wake up.

Memories flooded back like a tide.

"Xia He!"

Zhang Lingyu suddenly woke up with a start, and her first reaction was to look down at her arms.

Feeling the soft, warm body still in her arms, Zhang Lingyu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Xia He remained pressed tightly against his chest, her eyes closed, her breathing weak but steady.

Zhang Lingyu, with her arms aching, carefully checked Xia He's pulse and examined her entire body.

There was no external injury, and the meridians were not damaged.

He looked up and cautiously glanced around.

The van is gone.

Those men in black also vanished without a trace.

"They...didn't kill him?"

Zhang Lingyu frowned, her eyes filled with doubt.

The other side clearly had the upper hand; with both of them drugged, taking their lives would have been incredibly easy.

But the other side just abandoned them in this desolate wilderness and then left?

"Does it mean you don't want to kill, or... you're afraid to kill?"

If I can't figure it out, I just stop thinking about it.

We must leave here immediately.

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath and forcibly circulated the Yin Five Thunder within his body, which had just recovered somewhat.

Lightning flickered weakly in his palm, helping to dispel the remaining medicinal effects from his body.

He bent down and gently lifted the unconscious Xia He into his arms.

Just as Zhang Lingyu, carrying Xia He, turned around and prepared to walk towards the highway in the city center...

"Zi!"

Suddenly, a crackling sound of electricity filled the air.

Zhang Lingyu's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively hugged Xia He tightly.

Have those people come back?!

However, there was no ambush.

In mid-air directly in front of him.

A flash of lightning appeared.

Subsequently, the lightning elements began to rapidly recombine.

In the blink of an eye.

The blinding flash of lightning then transformed into a tall and slender human figure.

"Second...Second Martial Uncle?!"

Zhang Lingyu was stunned as she stared at the figure that appeared out of nowhere, as if it were a god.

Zhang Tianyi blinked, his gaze sweeping lightly over Zhang Lingyu and Xia He.

Seeing that the two were fully clothed, though somewhat disheveled, he immediately relaxed.

"Yes, all the parts are there, nothing is missing."

Zhang Tianyi spoke calmly, his voice carrying its usual languid quality:

"Lingyu, your vigilance is still a bit lacking."

"In a place like an airport, where even real and fake drivers can't be distinguished, how can I trust you to take over your master's job in the future?"

Zhang Lingyu lowered his head, his face full of shame, and said, "This disciple is foolish and has caused Second Uncle much worry."

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Zhang Tianyi in shock:

"Second Uncle, how...how did you know we were here...and how did you get here so quickly?!"

This is in the outskirts of Beijing, at least tens of kilometers away from Xishan Manor!

Zhang Tianyi did not answer immediately.

He turned around and looked at the messy footprints left in the grass by the men in black as they retreated.

A cold smile flashed across his lips.

"That kid Chu Lan called me."

Zhang Tianyi reached out and straightened his collar, which had been ruffled by the night wind, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Beijing is a place with a lot of people, lots of cars, and traffic jams."

"So, we opened up the 'heart network' a little wider."

"A little... a bit too big?" Zhang Lingyu swallowed.

"Well, it covers most of Beijing."

Zhang Tianyi rubbed his temples, seemingly troubled.

"The brainwaves and noise from tens of millions of people flooded in at once, making my head hurt a little."

"Fortunately, the Yin Five Thunders in your body were personally reshaped by me using innate thunder essence, so I can easily sense them."

"I locked onto the coordinates, and I can just transform into an element and rush over. It'll only take a few seconds."

An understatement.

But to Zhang Lingyu, it was no different from hearing a myth or legend!

The MindNet network covers most of Beijing?!

How can you instantly lock onto one person amidst the presence of tens of millions of people?!

Then it transforms into lightning, ignoring spatial distance, and descends instantly?!

Is this... is this even within the realm of supernatural beings?!

"Alright, stop standing there in a daze."

Zhang Tianyi turned around and looked at the somewhat exhausted Zhang Lingyu, and Xia He, who was still unconscious in his arms.
