Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Masked Superman_1

"Daddy, can Little Ye take the superhero comic book to kindergarten today?"

Just before heading out the door, Little Ye suddenly ran to the bookshelf, pulled out the new "Masked Superhero" book that her mom had bought for her, and clutched it to her chest with a longing look at Ye Fei.

"Of course, you can, but remember to come back and tell daddy the story after you’ve read it," Ye Fei said gently, stroking his daughter’s little head.

"Mmm! Thank you, Daddy, long live Daddy!"

With her father’s permission, Little Ye jumped up and down with joy.

The father and daughter then put on their shoes and went downstairs.

But just as they were about to leave the complex, they heard cries of "Careful" and "Help" not far away.

And at another corner of the complex, a crowd of people was gathering.

Ye Fei felt something was amiss and pulled Little Ye along as he ran toward the commotion.

Once they got closer and looked up, they saw that a one-year-old baby was stuck in the railings of the twelfth-floor balcony.

The baby was wailing loudly, and its small body kept twisting, on the verge of slipping through the gaps in the railing.

The adults below spontaneously stretched out bed sheets, ready to catch the child.

But it was from the twelfth floor!

Even if it were just a small baby, falling from such a height, the force of impact is unimaginable.

A mere few layers of bed sheets and a few adults could hardly ensure the baby’s safety.

The child’s mother wept bitterly on the ground, blaming herself: "It’s all my fault! I thought I’d just pop out to buy some groceries while my daughter was sleeping."

"But I ended up locking her inside, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have left the child alone at home with wishful thinking. Wuuu!"

"Oh, God! Someone save my child. I deserve to die! I’m such a bastard!"

The more the mother cried, the more sorrowful she became, losing control of her emotions and hatefully slapping her own face.

Some kind-hearted people stepped forward to persuade the child’s mother to calm down, assuring her that the child would be saved.

But everyone knew in their hearts what the chances were of a one-year-old surviving such a fall.

Seeing this, Little Ye also started crying desperately, "Daddy, what should we do! The little sister will fall to her death, I don’t want her to die, can you save her? Wuuu!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"If only the Masked Superhero were here, he could fly up and save her!"

Ye Fei was of course anxious—a young life had barely opened its eyes to see the world and was now about to be snatched away so abruptly.

He would not allow such a thing to happen before his eyes.

Ye Fei pulled his daughter to a small tree and instructed her earnestly, "Daddy is going to save the little sister. You wait here for Daddy, do not run around, and do not go with anyone else, got it?"

"Mmm! Got it!"

Little Ye nodded vigorously.

After touching his daughter’s head once more, Ye Fei took off his jacket and wrapped it around his face.

After all, what was about to happen was beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and to avoid trouble, he had to conceal his face.

"Daddy will be back soon!"

Leaving these words for his daughter, Ye Fei turned and ran towards the building.

At that moment, the baby’s little bottom was already slowly losing contact with the railing.

Two seconds!

One second!

"No, the child is falling! Oh, Lord, have mercy!"

"Ah! Someone save that child!"

Cries of shock and piercing screams rose up in the air.

The hearts of the people were all knotted in anxiety.

Some folded their hands and prayed silently, others were so frightened they shut their eyes, not daring to look anymore.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the chances for the child were slim.

At that moment, a figure, like a great hero from martial arts novels who could traverse the skies and earth, dashed towards the spot where the infant was falling, straight up the side of the building.

The figure rushed vertically up to the fourth floor, then with a leap, got to the sixth floor.

They used the window ledge of the sixth floor to jump again, catching the infant which had already fallen from the twelfth to the ninth floor.

Then, still holding the infant, the figure performed a 720-degree spin in mid-air.

Eighth floor.

Fifth floor.

Second floor.

Landed smoothly.

The actions were done in one fluid motion, from the appearance to catching the baby, to reaching the ground.

All of this happened in just five seconds.

Even before people could react, the "Flyer" had already handed the infant back to its mother.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Still in shock, the mother kept saying thanks with tears streaming down her face.

At that moment, the crowd finally snapped back to reality, erupting into thunderous cheers and applause.

Ye Fei did not dare to stay long, and with a few quick moves, he disappeared into the distance.

Only then did the crowd fully recover from their shock, breaking out in incredulous exclamations.

"My God! Did you see that? That person was flying! Really flying!"

"I saw it! I saw it! I can’t believe it, all the things written in martial arts novels are real, there are really heroes, hidden masters in this world!"

"To encounter such a master, that child is incredibly fortunate amidst the misfortune!"

Meanwhile, Ye Fei quickly slipped into a hidden spot to put his jacket back on, then went back to the small tree to pick up his daughter.

By this time, Little Ye’s face was filled with admiration and excitement.

She hugged her daddy’s neck and whispered in his ear, "Daddy! So you are the Masked Superhero!!"
