Yang Fei mustered Divine Power and fiercely rammed the door twice, but it wouldn't budge.

Just as he was about to think of another method, he heard the sound of a blade whistling from the terrace above,

Fan Yi's Spirit Snake Slash!

Although the Spirit Snake Slash is an extremely clever sword technique,

it is not exactly a secret. Qiu Yidao can use it, and so can Fan Yi.

However, Fan Yi's Spirit Snake Slash had been taught to him hand-to-hand by Yang Fei.

When Yang Fei heard the sound of the long sword slicing through the air, he knew Fan Yi was outside, fighting someone.

"Fan Yi, open the iron door quickly, the fire is spreading!"

Yang Fei banged on the door while shouting loudly.

The next second, with a clang, Fan Yi cut off the lock of the iron door and pushed it open.

With Lin Xueyi in his arms, Yang Fei, along with his family of three, covered with a wet blanket, all rushed up to the terrace.

Yang Fei quickly closed the iron door behind them to block out the flames and thick smoke.

Fan Yi's dagger retracted back into his hand like a Spirit Snake.

On the terrace, aside from Fan Yi, there was no one else.

His whole persona, like a javelin, appeared both handsome and cool, his face filled with solemnity.

At the same time, his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, were locked on the northwest direction below.

In a small alley in the northwest direction below, two figures were fleeing rapidly.

Yang Fei's eyes narrowed and he said, "Were these two the ones who set the fire?"

Fan Yi said indifferently, "These two fellows belong to the Lian Family. I saw the smoke and fire and came back to the hotel to rescue people."

"The main entrance was already sealed by fire, so I jumped over from the opposite balcony using a pole. When I got here, I found them guarding the entrance to the terrace."

Yang Fei snorted coldly and said, "These two bastards, setting fire is one thing, but they're looking to kill people."

"As long as people die in the hotel fire, Lanting Hotel would be finished. Their scheming is truly vile."

Fan Yi nodded, with his eyes still fixed on the northwest direction.

"Instructor, you give the order. I've crossed hands with them; I'll be the one to nab them."

Yang Fei grunted and said calmly, "Capture them, but don't kill them."

"Bring them back alive; we'll let the police handle it."

Fan Yi nodded.

He toed a long clothes pole from the ground, retreated several steps, then charged towards the balcony next door.

Just as he was about to reach the edge of the terrace, Fan Yi used the long pole to vault over to the next balcony.

His body soared through the air like riding the clouds and landed on the neighboring balcony.

When Fan Yi landed, he rolled twice, landing safely.

Like a nimble cat, he lightly and swiftly moved to the top of a shanty and then disappeared from sight.

The family of three who had been rescued were still in shock.

Watching Fan Yi's wall-toppling feat, their eyes were wide with amazement as they dumbly looked at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei checked on the unconscious child.

He found that the little girl had only passed out from the choking smoke and wasn't seriously hurt, which eased his worry by half.

Su Yinxue, on the other hand, had been knocked out by someone; there were contusions on her neck.

Yang Fei pressed the Dazhui acupoint on the back of her neck, giving her a thorough massage, and after some time, Su Yinxue slowly regained consciousness.

Her eyes were dull and lost at first, but suddenly she snapped awake and couldn't help but cling tightly to Yang Fei.

"Yang Fei, you're finally back. It was terrible. The Xu Family has finally taken action against us."

No matter how proud and icy Su Yinxue was, she was still a woman after all.

Remembering how she nearly burned to death in the hotel, she couldn't help shaking all over with fear.

Yang Fei was somewhat surprised, "How do you know the arsonists are from the Xu Family?"

Su Yinxue asserted, "This is definitely Xu Youjiang's style."

"A few days ago, he was beaten up here, and for Xu Youjiang, that's an unforgettable humiliation he'll never forget for the rest of his life."

"He didn't report to the police at the time because he didn't want to resolve the matter through legitimate means. This arson case must be related to Xu Youjiang."

Su Yinxue is an extremely intelligent woman.

Her line of reasoning was logical and well-documented, to the point where even Yang Fei nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, this won't happen again in the future," Yang Fei assured.

"I knew Xu Youjiang would seek revenge, but I didn't expect him to act so quickly," Yang Fei said coldly.

He looked downstairs and sighed.

"Fortunately, you're okay, and there were no casualties. Otherwise, I wouldn't care what kind of business tycoon he is, hmph!"

Su Yinxue looked into Yang Fei's eyes and saw a fierce determination that made her heart tremble and added a sweet flavor to her feelings.

It turned out she was so important to him.

Downstairs, the firefighters, seeing four people trapped on the terrace by the fire, laid out an air cushion as a protective layer and then set up a ladder to come up for the rescue.

The trapped family of three finally escaped safely.

Yang Fei, carrying Su Yinxue, also safely descended the stairs.

Onlookers surrounding them, seeing Yang Fei successfully rescuing three people, immediately erupted into thunderous applause.

The head of the firefighters came over to shake hands with Yang Fei, expressing his gratitude.

At the same time, he also offered a measured criticism of Yang Fei's rash actions.

Lin Xueyi staggered through the crowd and rushed over, grabbing Yang Fei and scrutinizing him from head to toe.

She saw that Yang Fei's hair and eyebrows had been completely singed off.

His face was blackened and shiny, and his calves and neck were covered in blisters, making her heart ache with tears welling up.

Su Yinxue, the family of three, and other injured guests all boarded the ambulance from the hospital, but Yang Fei insisted on not going to the hospital.

Yang Fei had already broken through Dark Force, achieving the first evolution of his body.

His bodily functions, especially his self-healing ability, were more than five times that of a typical person.

These blisters looked terrible, but in just two or three days, they would heal automatically.

Moreover, Yang Fei was waiting for news from Fan Yi.

This time, though the fire at Lanting Hotel didn't lead to a major disaster,

Lin Xueyi still had significant responsibility.

If Lanting Hotel cannot explain the cause of the fire,

they might have their business license revoked by the Administration for Industry and Commerce, and also be fined by the fire brigade.

The University Town Police Station's patrol cars had arrived.

Feng Cai'er had been promoted to deputy station chief.

She led more than a dozen police officers hustling toward Yang Fei.

The Feng Cai'er who had not been seen for days still had an excellent figure but looked thinner with an even sharper chin.

Her large watery eyes were filled with concern.

Feng Cai'er rushed over, her shoulder-length hair swishing, looking both vigorous and charmingly graceful.

"Yang Fei, are you hurt? How bad is it?" Feng Cai'er asked.

The Little Police Flower made no attempt to hide her personal feelings for Yang Fei.

Even in front of her own subordinates, she was the same.

The officers from University Town were not strangers to this hotel odd-job man with detective-level skills.

Yang Fei's brilliant deductions during the last Wu Wei murder case had already become a classic study material for detectives.

Some conscientious officers, inspired by Yang Fei's deductions, even developed an app for case reasoning study and analysis.
