The Celestial Net is vast and sparse, yet nothing escapes it!

In ancient times, this might have been an adjective, but under today's technological conditions, it has become a concrete noun.

The Celestial Net System.

Countless cameras in the city form a Celestial Net. As long as a person is exposed under it, their movements can be captured by the net, unless they're in an uncovered area, where they might escape the net.

It is certain now that Ye Tianyu has escaped the Celestial Net, due to Yun City Prison being on the outskirts, where the wilderness and various villages are not covered by the net.

Through checking the Celestial Net, there has been no sign of Ye Tianyu appearing within the Yun City District.

To track Ye Tianyu, Lin Fan must rely on his superpower, top-level insight!

But before that, Lin Fan needs to use the Celestial Net to obtain Hong Jinmao's activity route.

On a police car, Loli is escorting Hong Jinmao back to the station. She calls Lin Fan, saying, "The Celestial Net is already in operation, the route has been sent to your phone."

On the other end, Lin Fan, driving Hong Jinmao's vehicle, hangs up the phone and indeed sees that the route sent by the Celestial Net has been received, so he follows it down the road.

Following the directions, Lin Fan quickly realizes he's heading out of the city.

Which means Hong Jinmao had returned to the city from outside, proving that Hong Jinmao lied.

Hong Jinmao said he went to Li Chenghu's house for dinner today, but Li Chenghu's house is in the city, while Hong Jinmao was outside the city.

What was Hong Jinmao doing outside the city?

Today, as Ye Tianyu escaped from the Yun City Prison in the suburb, and Hong Jinmao coincidentally went outside, it's hard to say he wasn't there to meet Ye Tianyu.

If he wasn't there to meet Ye Tianyu, he wouldn't need to lie.

Moreover, before parting with Loli and the others, Lin Fan asked Hong Jinmao a final question, which was whether Hong Jinmao was there to meet Ye Tianyu today.

At that time, Hong Jinmao was not inclined to speak and didn't answer Lin Fan with a yes or no.

However, his lack of an answer is not an issue; even if he doesn't speak, he surely has mental activities which reflect in micro-expressions.

Lin Fan used his top-level insight to capture these micro-expressions and could confirm that Hong Jinmao indeed went to meet Ye Tianyu.

So, Lin Fan's first step now is to find the meeting place, and then with the help of his top-level insight, continue tracking.

It was already late at night, and Yun City had quieted down; rush hour had long passed, so Lin Fan drove smoothly and was close to reaching the city's edge in no time.

Suddenly, the phone rang; it was a call from Loli.

Lin Fan answered it.

On the other end, Loli's panicked voice came through: "We were attacked, Hong Jinmao was taken!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lin Fan's expression changed: "What happened, he was taken?"

Someone actually took a suspect from the police? This doesn't sound like something ordinary people would do.

Loli said, "That person was too powerful, taking advantage of us waiting at the red light, suddenly attacked us, in an instant, my colleague driving and I lost the ability to resist, Hong Jinmao kicked the car door open, tried to run but the person caught up to him immediately and in one move subdued Hong Jinmao, then ran off with him."

Lin Fan frowned, listening; it sounded like the person who took Hong Jinmao was a martial artist, and highly skilled.

Someone from the martial arts world!

Could it be Hong Jinmao's accomplice, coming to rescue him?

"Describe this person's features?" Lin Fan asked.

Loli said, "It was a woman, wearing traditional clothing with her face masked, couldn't see her face clearly, but her build was great, and her skills amazing. In front of her, I didn't have even a chance to fight back."

Loli sounded a bit frustrated at this point; she's a policewoman, no ordinary person, proud of her skills, usually even facing two strong men she could easily handle, but in the face of this masked woman, she felt like a schoolkid.

The world indeed has masters beyond masters and possessions past possessions.

Hearing Loli's description, Lin Fan was startled, immediately picturing a figure in his mind, today at dusk, while waiting at the red light, a female passerby who walked in front of him!

Lin Fan couldn't help but sweat, could it be this coincidental that the one who took Hong Jinmao was the same woman he happened to encounter?

"If you were here, it would be great," Loli added.

She knew how skilled Lin Fan was, before facing this masked woman, Lin Fan was the most capable person she had ever met, she believed that as long as Lin Fan was there, surely he could have held off this woman, at least not losing so easily.

Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless; he couldn't possibly turn back to find Loli, saying: "Are you okay?"

Loli replied: "I'm okay, she held back, just feeling a bit weak, regained mobility just now."

"Good that you're okay," Lin Fan said, "I need to continue tracking Ye Tianyu's whereabouts, you try to apprehend the two in the city."

Loli said: "Mm, could that woman be Hong Jinmao's accomplice?"

Lin Fan replied: "It's possible, if she's an accomplice, their next move could likely be to find Ye Tianyu, if she's not an accomplice, her purpose in taking Hong Jinmao is likely about Ye Tianyu too."

Loli asked: "You mean she might be like us, also looking for Ye Tianyu?"

Lin Fan said: "There's this possibility, unlike us, she wouldn't hesitate to use force, she might find out Ye Tianyu's whereabouts before us."

Upon hearing this, Loli's face changed, if Lin Fan's analysis was accurate, wouldn't Ye Tianyu end up in that woman's hands?

Lin Fan said: "So your police team should try to hold them off, don't let that woman leave the city."

And he, too, needed to speed up, find Ye Tianyu as quickly as possible.

Lin Fan floored the accelerator, the car sped up quickly, racing down the empty streets...

In the old city area of Yun City, inside an abandoned house.

A masked woman, dressed in ancient-style clothes, walked swiftly inside carrying a plump man; despite her slender build and presumably lighter weight compared to the man, she carried him like he was a mere rabbit.

The plump man was none other than Hong Jinmao.

At this moment, Hong Jinmao was barely conscious, with no ability to resist.

The woman took him inside and unceremoniously threw him onto the dusty floor.

"We don't have much time, speak, where is Ye Tianyu?" The woman asked coldly, just as icy were her eyes staring at Hong Jinmao.

Hong Jinmao shook his head, saying: "What are you talking about, I don't understand."

"Spare me the nonsense!" The woman snapped, with a flick of her hand, a shiny dagger appeared.

Hong Jinmao shuddered in fear: "What are you trying to do?"

The woman squatted down in front of him, saying: "I'll give you three seconds to think, if you don't say where Ye Tianyu is, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

Before her words finished, the dagger in her hand plunged into Hong Jinmao's thigh.

Not giving Hong Jinmao a chance to scream, the woman covered his mouth with a strong grip, leaving him unable to make a sound. The pain sweated his forehead and contorted his face.
