The crowd of Malay people in Prince City was growing denser, and all eyes were fixed on the six figures walking down the avenue's red carpet, as if they were the focus of today!
On both sides of the road stood rows of sturdy soldiers maintaining order, preventing anyone from causing chaos!
Ye Feng and the five women led by Shu Yuehua wore faint smiles at the corners of their mouths, meeting the people's fervent gazes while walking slowly on the red carpet toward the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Meanwhile, from the corner beside the street, a homeless man was listening to the surrounding commotion. He put down his bowl of fish ball noodles and stood up, peering at the street.
"A general from China? Could there be a general more formidable than Yezi?"
The homeless man's body was filthy, his hair disheveled, looking utterly disheveled, and his gaze was filled with curiosity at this moment!
However, when this homeless man saw Ye Feng's figure walking on the street, his body shuddered violently, and he froze in place instantly!
"Ye... Yezi..."
The homeless man was in disbelief, his eyes fixated tightly on the figure walking across the red carpet, and on that pallid, paper-like face, his eyes instantly reddened with tears:
"Yezi actually came to Malaysia! T-That's great! It's truly wonderful!!!"
The homeless man was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent. After seeing Ye Feng and the others pass by, his entire body shivered, and he finally reacted. Immediately, he charged madly into the crowd:
"Yezi! Yezi!!!"
The homeless man dashed crazily inside while shouting and yelling!
However, before he could squeeze into the crowd, soldiers maintaining order spotted him and kicked him out!
Bam!
The homeless man was kicked and fell to the ground, but he didn't care and got up again, his face full of joyous fervor, rushing inside once more:
"Yezi! It's me! I'm Ah Zhong!!!"
"Stop!"
But, his abnormal behavior had long caught the attention of the soldiers maintaining order. Instantly, two soldiers rushed up and kicked him down, pinning him to the ground:
"Don't move! Or don't blame us for being rude!!!"
Each of these soldiers had an expression full of anger. They knew how grand this enfeoffment ceremony was. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a burst of fear; if the homeless man had crashed into the general from China, they, as soldiers maintaining order, would have faced serious consequences!
"I know him; he's Yezi! Let me go; I want to see him!!!"
Ah Zhong was pressed to the ground by two or three soldiers, but he still shouted desperately, frantically trying to struggle!
"Humph! How daring of you; a general from China isn't someone you can meet just like that! Scram!!!"
However, the soldiers wouldn't listen and lifted him up before throwing him out of the crowd!
Bam!
Ah Zhong was again thrown harshly to the ground. He staggered to his feet but found that Ye Feng and the crowd around him had already gone far, while the soldiers around him stared fixedly at him, obviously not letting him through!
Seeing this scene, Ah Zhong was so anxious he almost cried but could only shout desperately at Ye Feng's retreating figure:
"Yezi! Yezi! I'm Ah Zhong!!!"
But even though Ah Zhong's voice was loud, there were nearly ten thousand Malay people here, and his shout was instantly drowned by the hubbub of drums and the chatter of the crowd around!
At this moment, Ah Zhong's face was very gloomy. He knew that during the Datuk enfeoffment ceremony, he absolutely couldn't draw Ye Feng's attention!
"Guess I'll have to go back and inform Nan Fang! But Yezi is actually in Malaysia and is set to be enfeoffed as a Datuk by the Prime Minister; this... is wonderful, we'll definitely see him sooner or later! When that happens, we'll take him with us back to Singapore, and Uncle Nan and Nancy will be saved!"
Ah Zhong's face was flushed with excitement. Being chased from Singapore to Malaysia during these times was simply hell for him and Nan Fang!
Originally despairing, seeing Ye Feng was like grabbing onto the last straw while drowning; how could he not be delighted!
Immediately, Ah Zhong picked up the bowl of fish ball noodles he had scavenged from the ground and hastily finished it before taking out his last remaining bill to buy a curry rice dish, then joyfully ran toward a nearby alleyway!
These few days, he had survived solely by begging for leftovers, spending all his money on medicine and food for Nan Fang!
But now, he felt it was all worth it!
Just as Ah Zhong ran into the alley, Ye Feng in the center of the crowd paused, and his brows slowly furrowed!
Although the surrounding sounds were clamorous, his hearing was extraordinary, and he seemed to have heard someone calling his name just now!
At this moment, Ye Feng slowly turned around and looked toward the place where the sound came from, but he only saw a ragged figure running into a nearby alley!
"That figure looks a bit familiar..."
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows furrowed even tighter, but he couldn't recall where he had seen it!
"Ye Feng, what's wrong?" Shu Yuehua noticed Ye Feng's expression and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"It's nothing! Let's go!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly and took another deep look at the alley entrance where the homeless man disappeared, then continued toward the Prime Minister's Mansion with Shu Yuehua and others!
Meanwhile!
Ah Zhong was running quickly in the alley, turning several corners until he reached a civilian drainage pipe!
Glancing at the surroundings where no one was passing by, Ah Zhong's face relaxed into a relieved smile:
"If Nan Fang finds out about this, he'll surely go crazy with joy!"
Muttering to himself, Ah Zhong opened the manhole cover of the drainage pipe and crawled inside!
However, just as Ah Zhong crawled into the drainage pipe, a scream echoed from inside, and a figure was thrown out violently!
Thud!
The figure thrown out was Ah Zhong!
Now, his chest bore the mark of a shoe, his face had a fresh red slap print, and his expression was one of absolute terror, as if he had seen a ghost!
"Damn it! These bastards found us!"
Ah Zhong only felt his scalp tingling and immediately tried to escape frantically!
However, as he looked, he saw over ten men in suits walking from the two entrances of the alley!
And from within the drainage pipe, several people walked out slowly!
All these people wore suits, their faces full of flesh, looking sinister and fierce. They stared at Ah Zhong like a pack of hungry wolves, with a cruel and mocking glint in their eyes!
"Heh heh... Kid, you thought you two could hide like rats in the drainage pipe, and we wouldn't find you? You're way too naive!"
The leader among them was a man, towering at about 1.9 meters, wearing a big golden chain and with a shaved head adorned with a ferocious scar, looking extremely menacing!
