At twelve oh eight in the morning, under Ye Fei's instructions, Chen Hao and his group drove to Ye Fei's residence.
To their utter surprise, Ye Fei actually lived alone in a small villa.
Seeing the incredulous looks on Chen Hao and the others' faces, Ye Fei hurriedly explained, "This is a house that my master bought previously. However, I usually live in a rental near the school and occasionally come here to clean up the house. You all can stay here during this time!"
"Wow!" Tang Jing couldn't help but exclaim, her face full of joy, "This is so great! Staying here is so much better than staying in a hotel, it has the feel of a home, so comfortable!"
"I didn't expect your master to be so rich!" Chen Hao muttered as he looked at the villa.
After entering the villa, Ye Fei first showed Chen Hao and his group the rooms. A few minutes later, they came out of the rooms and walked into the living room, where Ye Fei took out several sets of Campus Hero's black clothes and facemasks and handed them to Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng, saying, "These are the spare black clothes I usually have on hand. There are exactly two left, and the three of us have similar body shapes, so you two should fit them well."
"This is the Campus Hero's outfit!" Xie Xiaofeng happily accepted the clothes and looked them over carefully.
Chen Hao too had a face full of joy, exclaiming, "I never thought that one day I would become the Campus Hero!"
Ye Fei smiled and nodded, "Mmhmm, tonight we are all the Campus Hero!"
Then, Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng went back to their rooms to change their clothes, while Tang Jing stood up and walked towards Ye Fei, asking, "Ye Fei, wasn't there also a Campus Heroine who appeared before? Who is she?"
After scratching his head awkwardly, Ye Fei answered, "It's my senior sister! She came here to chase two people at the time, so she became the Campus Heroine for two days."
"Do you have any Campus Heroine costumes here then? Get a set for me and Yuqiao as well."
"Sorry, I don't have any here," Ye Fei said with a somber face, "but tomorrow I can ask my partner to get you two each a set."
Tang Jing's face lit up with excitement, and she said eagerly, "Really? Thank you so much, Ye Fei! No, I should be calling you Campus Hero at this time."
Half a minute later, Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng, dressed as Campus Heroes in black, came out from their rooms. Arriving in the living room, they struck several poses they thought were very cool, provoking laughter from Tang Jing and Ye Yuqiao nearby.
After some horsing around, Ye Fei's expression darkened, and he frowned, "It's getting late, we should set off."
"Okay!" Xie Xiaofeng nodded repeatedly, already eager to go out dressed as the Campus Hero.
At this point, Chen Hao sat down next to Ye Yu and, while putting on his mask, asked her, "Girlfriend, do I look handsome in this outfit?"
Ye Yu smiled dreamily, then pinched Chen Hao's cheek and whispered, "Naughty! Come back quickly; you still need to come back and kneel on the keyboard tonight!"
"Ah!" Chen Hao's eyes instantly filled with grievance, "I'm the Campus Hero tonight, and yet you're asking a superhero to kneel on a keyboard."
Ye Yu snorted angrily and then said, "If you're not willing, forget it. Go be your Campus Hero; once you're the Campus Hero, you're not my boyfriend anymore."
"Ah!" Chen Hao panicked, "No, I'm willing, I'll definitely go kneel on the keyboard obediently when I get back."
Afterward, Ye Fei, Chen Hao, and Xie Xiaofeng walked out of the room side by side, then Ye Fei and Chen Hao each took one of Xie Xiaofeng's arms and, with a swift leap, jumped into the mysterious night.
Twenty minutes later, the three arrived in front of a luxurious villa located in district one of City H.
After observing the surroundings from a high vantage point, Ye Fei nodded at Chen Hao indicating that nothing was amiss. Chen Hao nodded back in response, and the two of them, together with Xie Xiaofeng, leaped into the villa.
No sooner had the trio landed on the villa's lawn, than a group of men dressed in suits, holding handguns, and wearing sunglasses rushed out and surrounded them.
"Ah!" Xie Xiaofeng was startled, "Have we fallen into a trap?"
"I don't think so?" Ye Fei shook his head, his tone very calm, "My partner must have confirmed the situation before calling me here."
"Hmm!" Chen Hao let out a sound, completely unfazed on the inside.
"Are all three of you the Campus Hero?" the man standing directly opposite Ye Fei asked, filled with surprise in his tone.
"Yes!" Ye Fei answered, "We are all the Campus Hero."
At that moment, the sound of high heels clacking on the ground came. The three men immediately turned towards the source of the noise to see a middle-aged woman dressed in a business suit, looking poised and prosperous, approaching.
After reaching in front of Chen Hao and his friends, the woman instructed the men holding guns, "Put down your guns!"
Then, moving closer to Chen Hao and his companions, she showed an anxious and worried look and extended her hand while saying, "Greetings to the three Campus Heroes, my name is Wang Lan. I was the one who called you for help earlier. I apologize for just now, these men are bodyguards I hired today. If they have offended you, please forgive us. It's not convenient to talk outside; let's go inside the house, please come in."
After each of them shook hands with Wang Lan, Chen Hao, Ye Fei, and Xie Xiaofeng were invited into Wang Lan's mansion.
Although it was the first time they met, Ye Fei was not at all unfamiliar with Wang Lan. In City H, almost no one didn't know that she was the chairwoman of Xin Heng Real Estate.
After being seated in Wang Lan's living room, Wang Lan told Chen Hao, Ye Fei, and Xie Xiaofeng that a month ago, the boss of the Lianzhu Gang in City H had come to her personally and asked her to sell him a plot of land that she had won at an auction three years ago.
That plot of land was located in the northern district of City H and covered an area amounting to one-tenth of the northern district. A few years ago, the City H government sold this plot as part of the old city district renovation to introduce developers, with a plan to complete relocation in seven years and start reconstruction. Due to the immeasurable value that the land would generate in the future, Wang Lan therefore rejected the Lianzhu Gang boss's acquisition request at that time.
Worrying about retaliation from the boss of the Lianzhu Gang, Wang Lan later spent money to hire bodyguards to protect her and her son's safety. Yet, even so, her son was kidnapped on his way home yesterday evening, and all the bodyguards sent to protect him were shot dead.
Not long after her son was kidnapped, Wang Lan received a phone call from the boss of the Lianzhu Gang. The boss claimed it was he who had kidnapped Wang Lan's son, and demanded that she hand over that plot of land in exchange for her son's return. He also warned Wang Lan not to call the police, or else he would kill her son.
Knowing there might be insiders from the Lianzhu Gang in the police department, Wang Lan did not dare call the police. Hence, she thought of seeking help from the Campus Hero.
After listening to Wang Lan's description of the whole incident, Ye Fei asked, "Ms. Wang, did the boss of the Lianzhu Gang say what he wants that plot of land for?"
Wang Lan shook her head, her face filled with puzzlement, "To want the land, perhaps he intends to become a developer?"
"But as far as I know, the Lianzhu Gang is just a newly emerging gang and does not have the financial or material resources to develop such a large area of land," Ye Fei said.
Ye Fei was clearer about the forces of the various social gangs in City H than anyone could be. Not long ago, he personally eliminated the three largest gangs in City H, and before that, the Lianzhu Gang was just a small gang silently trampled under the feet of those three gangs. It was fair to say that the Lianzhu Gang's rapid rise owed half its success to his own actions as the Campus Hero.
"Then I'm clueless." Wang Lan shook her head helplessly, "Campus Hero, I beg you, please save my son."
"Actually, there is another way to save your son, and it's the safest method," Chen Hao suddenly said, "why not just sell that plot of land to the boss of Lianzhu Gang?"
Upon hearing Chen Hao's words, Wang Lan was speechless and her face immediately turned ashen.
Seeing the expression on Wang Lan's face, Chen Hao smiled contemptuously.
After a long silence,
Ye Fei first glanced at Chen Hao, then said to Wang Lan, "Ms. Wang, we'll do our utmost to return your son safely into your hands."
Wang Lan gave a smile, her face full of discomfort.
Five minutes later, after leaving Wang Lan's house, Chen Hao and the others first flew to the rooftop of a tall building.
"Businesspeople indeed are businesspeople; nothing seems more important than business interests, not even their own flesh and blood," Chen Hao remarked, looking into the night sky.
Ye Fei patted Chen Hao on the shoulder from behind and said, "That's her business, we can't manage it. What we, the Campus Hero, must do is to strike down those criminals."
"Mm!" Chen Hao nodded in agreement with Ye Fei's words.
After discussing for a while, the three of them used qinggong and hurried towards the whereabouts of the Lianzhu Gang.
Twenty minutes later, the three arrived at an underground gambling den run by the Lianzhu Gang in District Two of City H. According to reliable information obtained by Ye Fei's partner, the boss of the Lianzhu Gang was currently inside that underground gambling den.
After observing for a while from a building across from the gambling den, Ye Fei said to Chen Hao, "I have a feeling that there's something off about this gambling den; I'll go in first to check. The rest of you can follow depending on the situation."
After equipping a pinhole camera, Ye Fei jumped down from the building and rushed into the gambling den.
Through the tablet connected to the pinhole camera, Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng could see the situation as Ye Fei entered.
Ye Fei was not wrong; there was indeed something off about this gambling den. Although it was full of people, each guest was actually a burly and fierce-looking thug, holding either a knife or a gun in their hands.
"It turns out they had set up an ambush inside!" Xie Xiaofeng sighed.
Chen Hao nodded, his attention fixed on the tablet:
"Hmph, Campus Hero, you really came, that woman indeed asked you for help!" a middle-aged man seated in a chair said. Judging by his arrogant and conceited demeanor, he must be the boss of the Lianzhu Gang.
"It turns out I was already in your calculations?" Ye Fei said calmly.
"Of course," the boss of the Lianzhu Gang said with a smug smile, "who doesn't know the Campus Hero loves to meddle? I must learn from the lesson of those previous three big gangs. But then again, I have to thank you, Campus Hero. If it weren't for you wiping out those three gangs, where would our Lianzhu Gang be today?"
Ye Fei said nothing more and raised his fist.
"Campus Hero, I've heard you're skilled in martial arts, so I've specially invited two masters to have a lesson with you!"
