Chapter 40: He Didn't Play According to the Rules!
Early morning, Wang Ye ended an all-nighter of cultivation.
He usually slept for two to three hours to maintain his energy.
Although the Red Sun Evolution Technique had side effects, its effects were truly top-notch. It was a blessing to those who liked to work hard!
"Does he really have to work overtime for a week?" Wang Ye looked at the empty bed.
It had been five days since he returned, but his eldest brother, Wang Yang, had never appeared.
Those who didn't know better would think that the two brothers had some conflict, but in reality, the relationship between the two brothers had always been good.
Logically speaking, no matter how busy the other party was, he would come back for a gathering.
In the original owner of this body's memory, his older brother, Wang Yang, did not seem to be that passionate about work...
Wang Ye opened the door.
...
"There will be light rain in the Eastern Base City today. Don't go out unless necessary. If you go out, remember to bring protective rain gear!" The sound of a loudspeaker came from downstairs, echoing through the buildings.
Wang Ye drank plain porridge with salted eggs and looked at his phone.
There was a friend request in his contacts.
The profile picture was of a girl wearing a green woolen hat and a green sweater. She stood on the green grass and smiled brightly.
Song Shuyi.
He was hesitating whether he should accept her friend request.
The group chat was about to explode with her texts, and for some reason, he sympathized with Huang Zirui...
But maybe he enjoyed it?
"Is it your girlfriend, brother?" Wang Xinchen leaned over with food in her mouth.
"No," Wang Ye scrolled through the group chat.
"Wow, brother. Is it an improper relationship?" Wang Xinchen raised her eyebrows, "Don't be like those celebrities and be caught red-handed."
"It's okay. I'm an Evolver," Wang Ye chuckled.
The Internet was so advanced that middle school students nowadays knew too much.
"Hey, why aren't you going to school today?"
"Are you stupid, brother? Didn't you hear the announcement downstairs?" Wang Xinchen pouted, "Don't go out unless necessary! Today's classes are online."
"Oh, it's raining," Wang Ye immediately understood.
It was raining, red rain, which was very dangerous.
He still remembered that the first person he killed was an irrational student who had mutated from absorbing the red rain.
"By the way, did Big Brother call back?" Wang Ye asked casually.
"No," Wang Xinchen had an innocent look on her face.
"Not even once?" Wang Ye looked at his mother, Chen Tingyu, who had a worried expression on her face.
The latter hesitated for a moment and shook her head.
Wang Ye frowned.
He quickly made a call.
[The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later...]
He tried video calling.
[The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.]
Something had happened.
Wang Ye quickly made his judgment.
In his memory, his elder brother Wang Yang was not someone who did things without telling the family in advance.
No matter how busy he was, he would at least call back.
"Second brother, Big Brother, he..." Wang Xinchen was smart and understood immediately.
"He's fine. He might have fallen asleep from overwork," Wang Ye said to his mother, Chen Tingyu, and then stood up.
"I'm full. I need to make a trip to the camp later. It's raining today, so don't go out, Mom."
"Okay, be careful and wear protective rain gear. Don't get wet," Chen Tingyu said with concern.
"Mom, brother is already an Evolver. The red rain won't affect him," Wang Xinchen said.
"That's not good either. You'll catch a cold easily," Chen Tingyu said.
As they spoke, Wang Ye came out of his room.
As usual, he was dressed in a combat suit and had two sabers at his waist.
"Wow bro, your combat suit is so cool!" Wang Xinchen ran over with her eyes shining, "Is it new? How much is it?"
"One million," Wang Ye whispered into his sister's ear, "Look after Mom."
"I know," Wang Xinchen held Wang Ye's hand and said softly, "I'll wait for you to come back, brother."
"Alright."

Base defense division, external patrol division.
In the deputy department head's office, Yu Hanchao placed his phone on the table and put it on speaker, "He's here, huh? Follow the original plan."
"Remember, burn it down after you finish. It must be done flawlessly."
The call ended.
Yu Hanghan's eyes were like torches as he tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. His expression was normal.
Everyone had weaknesses, and no one was an exception.
Killing a beginner Evolver was never a big problem for him.
As long as he was ruthless enough.
...
At the base city center.
Wang Ye walked out of Jinning Building.
It was just as he had guessed. His eldest brother, Wang Yang, had gone missing four days ago.
"It's premeditated," Wang Ye sighed.
At such a young age, Yu Hanchao had already taken the position of external patrol department's deputy department head. As expected, he was not easy to deal with.
He was very calm and was patiently waiting for an opportunity. He didn't want to be caught having anything to do with this matter.
"Being careful, huh?" Wang Ye had already figured out what was going on.
It was obvious that Yu Hanchao's target was him, and his big brother, Wang Yang, had been implicated.
If he guessed correctly, his phone would ring in a while.
There must be Yu Hanchao's spies in Wang Yang's company.
Wang Ye took out his phone and turned it off.

"Speak," Yu Han turned on the speaker.
"Boss, I can't get through!"
Yu Hanchao was stunned and subconsciously said, "That's impossible. Is there no signal on the phone? Call again!"
"We called many times... Not good, Boss! Our phone seems to have been tracked. This guy called the police!"
The other end of the phone was a little flustered.
Yu Hanchao couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Call the police?
Wang Ye was an Evolver, yet he called the police?
According to the normal development process, he created a situation where Wang Yang was arrested for illegally borrowing money.
With Wang Ye's wealth, it was not difficult for him to take out 100,000 yuan to save his brother.
The gunmen had been lying in ambush for a long time, just waiting for Wang Ye to come.
In addition to the gunmen, he also placed gasoline and bombs in the basement to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Yet, Wang Ye did not play by the rules!
"Boss, we have to retreat. Our location might have been exposed," An urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, "Do you still want the person?"
"Just leave him there. Don't kill him."
"Yes, Boss."
Yu Hanchao's brows were tightly knitted, and his ten fingers tapped the table at a faster pace.
Wang Yang definitely could not be killed.
The faked illegal loan was a small matter, but if the man died and a case was filed, his trouble would be huge.
"Wang Ye... Do you still want to kill him?" An uncertain voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes!" Yu Hanchao gritted his teeth.
He knew that the rescue team would gather tomorrow and then leave the base city for a mission.
During this period, it would be very difficult for him to have the chance to make a move again.
He had to do it today! He couldn't leave any future troubles!
Fortunately, red rain was pouring today.
Although there would be a certain risk, it shouldn't be a big problem if it went smoothly under the guise of killing a mutated human...
"Fortunately, I left a backup plan," Yu Hanchao dialed another number.
...
"Sorry for the trouble."
Wang Ye cooperated with the investigation and finished recording his statement. It was already raining outside.
There weren't many people on the street.
The red rain fell on the ground and splashed on the sidewalk.
Looking at the gloomy sky, Wang Ye pondered and put himself in the other party's shoes.
If he was Yu Hanchao, what would he do?
The kidnapper's cell phone number and location had been tracked.
If Yu Hanchao wasn't stupid, there was a high chance that nothing would have happened to his big brother, Wang Yang.
There was only one thing he had to do now, and that was to take the risk.
The other party would have to make a move before he left the base city.
"You will pay a heavy price."
Wang Ye was very calm.
Compared to the deceptions in the workplace, Yu Hanchao was still too inexperienced.
Viciousness alone was not enough.
