Chapter 496 Temporary Control
Just now, he had been walking in the opposite direction; if he had only walked this way, perhaps he would have reached the place very soon.
But there was no choice, to shake off the tail behind him, he took a big detour.
Fortunately, he had smoothly dealt with those matters, and if so, he believed that the things to follow should become a bit smoother.
Just now, as he was threading through the alley, he knew that if he passed through this spot, there should be a spacious road ahead.
On the street, he could hail a car, and if everything went smoothly, he could make it there in about half an hour.
Looking at the situation now, everything should still be on time, at least the task entrusted to him by the elder should be completed in a timely manner.
However, when Ye Chen reached the middle of the alley, he suddenly felt a fragrance drift from ahead.
In the end, he looked up, but never expected that the woman would appear before him again.
She seemed to wear an extremely proud countenance, looking down on him disdainfully.
"Wow, keep running, weren't you just trying to lose me in the crowd? Let me tell you, I won't fall for that, so I didn't bother going around inside. I just kept walking this way directly."
"How did you know I would definitely come through here?"
"It's common sense, you know. Under normal circumstances, people tend to choose more secluded paths, especially you. So I was certain that you would come through here, and hence, I've been waiting for you. However, your timing is not bad; since you entered the mall, 10 minutes have passed."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
He originally thought that this woman would be easy to deal with, but never imagined that the opponent he faced would be so formidable.
He could only helplessly shake his head. It seemed that unless he used his trump card, today's task might not be completed smoothly.
"Heh, fine, I admit I miscalculated this time, but I won't play cat and mouse with you anymore."
"Oh, no more running around? So tell me, what do you want to do? And where do you want to go? Why don't you just tell me directly? That way, I won't have to frustratingly follow you here. But let me tell you, I am like a catfish; once stuck to you, you'll never shake me off."
"Yes, even if I can't shake you off, then I shall discard everything and cut you off from me slice by slice. This way, the problem should be resolved, right?"
"Heh, cut me off? Then let's see if your knife is sharp enough. If it is, maybe you can cut me off. But if it's not, then you may end up hurting yourself."
"Alright, then let's see who is more formidable."
As they spoke, Ye Chen suddenly reached out to lock onto her throat, intending to strike her vital point and settle the fight with a couple of swift moves.
However, Ye Chen wasn't planning to hurt her badly, but to temporarily entangle her. Only in this way could he find an opportunity.
But, as soon as Ye Chen reached out, he felt as if his hand was suspended in the air.
He struggled forcefully for a moment, then let his hand fall back limply.
Something wasn't right. Why did it feel like a powerful air current was resisting him just now?
When he looked up, Ye Chen was shocked to find that the woman had moved to his other side.
My goodness, that was incredibly fast.
Ye Chen himself was very fast, and normal people couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.
Logically, his tracking skills may be outstanding, but ideally, his martial arts shouldn't be this advanced.
Ye Chen just grinned slightly, then turned his body and reached out his other hand, once again aiming for her neck.
This time, the woman quickly turned around and stylishly moved to the other side, making Ye Chen miss again.
After seeing this, Ye Chen finally understood that if he continued using ordinary techniques against her, there was no way this woman would let herself be easily caught.
So, once he was set on this, Ye Chen used a feint and, utilizing his speed, quickly locked onto the woman's throat.
At that moment, the woman was taken aback, feeling suffocated, and the arrogance she had proudly displayed had completely vanished.
"Come on, keep acting tough, weren't you very formidable? What now, got overpowered and too scared to make a peep, eh?"
"Let go of me, let me go."
The woman struggled desperately, but Ye Chen could feel that, indeed, she had formidable strength. However, it was unfortunate for her that in front of Ye Chen, such strength was worthless.
"If it weren't for business today, I definitely wouldn't be here entangling with you. For now, this will have to do. But let me warn you, if there's a chance in the future, I will challenge you face-to-face."
While speaking, Ye Chen suddenly extended a few fingers and lightly pressed on several acupoints on her neck.
After completing these presses, he saw the woman's body slowly soften, her head tilting to one side.
Seeing this, Ye Chen gently placed her near the corner of the wall.
He checked the woman's breathing with his hand; it should still be very normal at this time. Ye Chen knew that he had only induced temporary unconsciousness. In about two hours, she would naturally awaken.
