Chapter 1903: Wei Che Is Hiding in the Elegance Room!
Si Yiyan gave a soft sigh after hanging up.
Xinya must be very angry at him for deciding at the last minute to come to Russia and then leaving without even saying goodbye. Otherwise, she would not have shut off her mobile phone when he tried to call her earlier. She was not even replying to his messages.
Actually, he was prepared to say farewell to her, but looking at how sweetly she was sleeping in bed and how dark her eye bags were, he could not bear to wake her up.
Usually, such an action would be considered loving and considerate.
But when it happened between two people in conflict, his action turned into a “French exit”.
This girl had been under a lot of work stress and was in a constant bad mood. Her imagination often ran wild and, during this period, Si Yiyan had no idea how to manage her unpredictable mood swings.
It had only been five days since he arrived in Russia. He had wanted to punish Xinya for her earlier rash act of wanting to break up and cancel their wedding—but now that they were in two separate countries, this notion of his was starting to fade.
He rubbed his forehead. He felt like in his fit of rage, he had ended up enmeshing himself in a trap of his own devising.
Even with an IQ of over 300 and a god-like intelligence, Ninth Si still had times when he made mistakes when dealing with affairs of the heart.
“Knock knock…” Someone was knocking on the door.
Si Yiyan set aside his emotions and regained his usual placid demeanor. The unshakable Ninth Si displayed none of his earlier emotional turmoil.
Gu Yuexi, Xu Xianghu, and Yueze entered the study.
“We have contacted Russia’s military department and the aristocratic families. We now control all of Moscow’s hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics. We have even launched close surveillance on all unlicensed, illegal clinics, and doctors, but we have not detected any trace of Wei Che.
“Wei Che’s injuries are very serious and there is no way he could delay treatment. It has been nearly two days since he went missing and a total of seven deaths occurred in Russia since. We have confirmed that none of them were Wei Che. It’s clear that not only did Wei Che manage to evade our pursuit, but he’s also still alive.”
Gu Yuexi looked very grave.
Not only was this Wei Che very powerful, but he was also extremely crafty. Previously, he had battled against Rex and, although Wei Che lost in the end, he didn’t manage to do much to him.
He was very wary against an opponent who was nearly as capable as Rex.
In a rare show of normalcy, Xu Xianghu exuded a malevolent aura. “This person holds unfathomable capabilities. He managed to escape our pursuit despite his serious injuries, so it is not surprising he has managed to evade our manhunt.”
With his powerful, beast-like instincts, not more than 10 people in this world would be capable of eluding his pursuit. It could be seen just how formidable this person was.
A vicious expression flashed across Yueze’s beautiful, exquisite face. “The plan against the Korean-Chinese Alliance has already been fully launched. Moscow is completely under our grasp and it will be difficult for Wei Che to move on his own given his grave injuries. He will definitely try to leave Moscow. I have already sealed off all air-land-sea transportation routes out of Russia. His wings are clipped.”
Wei Che dared to make such a public move against their boss in the Elegance Room, openly challenging his authority. There was no way Yueze would let him off.
All this was not completely out of his expectations. If Wei Che was so easily captured, he would not be a worthy opponent. “The most dangerous place is also the safest. Wei Che is a man who is bold and insightful.”
Previously, they had searched the entire world to find Wei Che, only to discover that he was hiding at the Elegance Room, one of the core strongholds of Lucifer. Most people would never be so foolhardy.
Gu Yuexi’s face darkened. “Are you saying that Wei Che is hiding at the Elegance Room?”
The most dangerous place to Wei Che now was the Elegance Room. The safest place was also the Elegance Room. After all, Wei Che had hidden there multiple times. There was definitely something fishy going on there. If Wei Che had some men over there under his control, then his injuries would not be a problem.
Since Wei Che made his move against Rex in the Elegance Room, security at the place would definitely be heightened. Moreover, everyone had witnessed Wei Che leaving the Elegance Room with their very own eyes. Xu Xianghu’s pursuit of Wei Che after that also proved that fact. So no one would expect Wei Che to return to the Elegance Room. It would be like walking into the spider’s web on his own accord.
Xu Xianghu’s expression underwent a major change. “These two days, I have turned over the entire Moscow in search of Wei Che, but neglected the Elegance Room.”
His words more or less confirmed that Wei Che was hiding in the Elegance Room.
Yueze’s face turned grim. “It looks like after the plan against the Korean-Chinese Alliance is accomplished, we must give the Elegance Room a complete revamp. Those people probably forgot the bloody scene that occurred there that year.”
At this moment, Gu Yuexi had already used the messaging service to issue an order to conduct a secret search of the Elegance Room for Wei Che. The two agents of Lucifer would be in charge.
Si Yiyan said blandly, “It’s already too late.”
Wei Che was no fool. His identity had been exposed and he was gravely injured. Moscow was no longer safe for him and there was nowhere for him to escape. If he didn’t take the risk of returning to the Elegance Room, there was no other way he would be able to treat his wounds. But he was also well aware that the Elegance Room was not somewhere he could stay for long. He would probably leave the place as soon as his injuries were stabilized.
Indeed, just as Si Yiyan spoke up, Gu Yuexi received this message: “Wei Che was indeed hiding in the Elegance Room. Just now, he engaged in a crossfire with our two Lucifer agents and suffered a gunshot in the leg. Our men are currently pursuing him.”
No wonder Rex held such high regard for Wei Che. He was able to escape from the lion’s den that was the Elegance Room. It looked like he would have to reevaluate this Wei Che’s abilities and methods.
Si Yiyan made an instant decision. “Have the military and aristocratic families help in this pursuit.”
Wei Che’s cunning had gone beyond expectations. They would need the help of the military and the aristocratic families to seal off the whole of Moscow and all of Russia.
Gu Yuehan immediately contacted the military and the aristocratic families, seeking their aid in the manhunt for Wei Che.
“This Wei Che is truly audacious. He completely disregards Lucifer. We have never been played in this manner by anyone before.”
Yueze looked rather grim. This Wei Che was really arrogant and brazen. The Elegance Room was one of the core strongholds of Lucifer, but he managed to sneak in easily despite the much-lauded security defenses of the place.
Xu Xianghu was also extremely angry. “Damn it. I’m not fit to be called a man if I don’t kill that bastard.”
From the Elegance Room, this Wei Che achieved a perfect three out of three escape attempts against them.
The first time, he had disappeared right under the Boss’ nose after his scheme against sis-in-law.
The second time, he managed to evade capture despite their pursuit.
The third time, he successfully escaped Lucifer’s all-out attempt to capture him.
His actions were a direct slap to their faces.
Si Yiyan remained silent. He recalled that bullet. By his conjectures, he more or less determined that there was another reason why Wei Che was able to move so freely within the Elegance Room.
