Free Web NovelChapter 242: Chapter 242: Remember to Keep Your Promise _1
Wang Yating asked in surprise, "What’s the matter?"
"Wait until I arrive at Yanjing Martial Department, when I assume the position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, then you and I will cancel our engagement!"
By now, he valued his engagement even more, and after canceling the engagement with Zhang Ruoyu, he had successfully dissolved engagements with two people.
What remained was that he needed to hasten his steps.
After Ye Ming finished speaking, there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone.
Wang Yating’s face turned ashen, her grip on the phone tight, anger swirling in her heart.
She hadn’t expected that the first thing Ye Ming would bring up upon answering the call was their engagement.
Despite being adored by thousands, she hadn’t anticipated being so repudiated by Ye Ming.
This feeling made her want to strangle Ye Ming at any moment.
"Why aren’t you speaking?" Ye Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wang Yating, holding back her rage, said, "First, take care of what you promised me!"
Ye Ming frowned and hurriedly asked, "Why should it be later? Are you thinking of going back on your word?"
Wang Yating said irritably, "The words I speak and the water I spill can never be taken back! Once you arrive at the Martial Department and take over as Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, I will naturally keep my word!"
"As for you, you clueless fellow, our people at the Martial Department have discovered someone hacked into your home computer, trying to steal information. Though we’ve managed to block it now, I still wanted to warn you!"
"You better be careful, you’ve been targeted!"
Ye Ming paused, then asked, "How do you know about this? Are you monitoring me?"
Wang Yating felt another headache coming on.
She explained patiently, "You’re now part of our Yanjing Martial Department, so of course we won’t let anything happen to you. We’ll protect your safety, in every possible aspect!"
"The hacker attack has already been successfully intercepted."
Ye Ming nodded. Although he was strong enough to not need anyone else’s protection, having it still gave him a strange feeling.
However, after thinking it over, Ye Ming did not know whom he had offended. Why would someone hack his computer?
Could it be...
Ye Ming had a rough guess in his mind and asked Wang Yating, "Since it’s been intercepted, can you track down who did it?"
As the saying goes, it’s not the stealing that’s frightening, but the thief’s attention. He had to find out who was the saboteur behind the scenes; he must catch this person.
Wang Yating said decisively, "No!"
Ye Ming, bewildered, said, "Since you’ve already said that I’m one of your people, shouldn’t this information be shared with me?"
Wang Yating responded, "Although you are one of us, indeed, such matters are still confidential to us. Besides, you haven’t yet assumed the position of Chief Instructor of the Falcon Squad. However, if you really want to know... perhaps, you should ask me nicely."
No sooner had she spoken did Wang Yating immediately regret it.
Her face flushed, a look of embarrassment crossing her features.
Even those around her began to cast strange glances her way.
Wang Yating, admired by thousands at the Yanjing Martial Department, would actually say such a thing to a man?
Seizing the moment before Ye Ming could respond, Wang Yating hastily corrected herself, "It’s not impossible to tell you, but first, you need to agree to a condition!"
Ye Ming asked anxiously, "What condition?"
"As for the condition, I haven’t decided yet, but you have to agree to it first," Wang Yating said.
In order to get the intelligence, Ye Ming had to agree to the request, though he found it odd that these women always liked to make him agree to a condition.
It better not be something like pretending to be a boyfriend.
"I was just joking with you, you’d better not take it seriously. Just come back with me to the Yanjing Martial Department obediently, and don’t leave me empty-handed!"
Wang Yating gathered her thoughts and said seriously, "The person we intercepted is named Feng Yun, a top-tier figure in the hacker world, well-known among hackers. We put a lot of effort into finding his location, which is in a slum area outside the Yanjing outer ring, number xx."
"However, you need to be careful. We’re not sure about his abilities, but we think he must be very cunning, and you..."
Before Wang Yating could finish, Ye Ming had already hung up the phone, too anxious to chase down the address.
Listening to the dial tone on the phone, Wang Yating showed a reluctant expression on her face. "Hang up on me after using me, how outrageous, Ye Ming, wait until you come to our Martial Department in a few days, then let’s see if you can still be so arrogant!"
After a morning of hustling, Ye Ming finally arrived at the slum area.
He knocked on the door and saw a young man with glasses appear, looking at Ye Ming with some wariness and asking, "What do you want?"
Ye Ming was taken aback, clearly not expecting that this top-tier figure in the hacker world would live in such poor conditions.
He asked, "You must be Feng Yun, right?"
The young man frowned and immediately stepped back two steps, about to close the door.
But Ye Ming wouldn’t give him the chance.
The man was thin and weak, no match for Ye Ming. He was subdued by Ye Ming in just a moment.
Afterward, Ye Ming entered the room and, seeing the mess everywhere, couldn’t help but frown.
"The big shot of the hacking world lives like this? With your skills, getting a better place to live shouldn’t be difficult, right?"
Feng Yun looked at him defiantly. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Having been dealt with by Ye Ming once, he had no desire to resist and knew he was no match for Ye Ming.
Feng Yun ignored Ye Ming’s question.
Ye Ming snorted coldly and asked, "I’m here for only one thing, who told you to go after me?"
Feng Yun shook his head, "I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
Ye Ming continued, "You see, although you are powerful, I still found you. You know how capable I am!"
"I’m giving you a chance now, a chance to save your life!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"With my ability, since I can find you, I can naturally find the person behind you, but telling me has a completely different consequence for you than me finding out by myself!"
"So, it’s up to you!"
After saying that, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and an overwhelming sense of killing intent enveloped the young man.
Facing such a formidable opponent, the helpless Feng Yun had no capacity to fight back, and fear gradually appeared on his face.
He asked warily, "Are you really going to kill?"
Ye Ming reached for the fruit knife on the table and told Feng Yun, "I’ve killed quite a few, so ’daring’ isn’t quite the right word for me. Killing for me is all about mood!"
Under the relentless pressure, Feng Yun’s face was fraught with fear, but his mouth remained stubborn, "Who are you trying to scare? I wasn’t raised to be frightened!"
