Huacheng, Longhu Club, Volcano Laboratory.
"Empress Luo," Ning Zitong answered the call. Her expression turned serious.
She covered the receiver and looked at Dragon King Chen Qitao and Optimus Prime Long Zhen. She said in a low voice,
"Lou Cheng has been attacked."
The surroundings turned dark and the voltage seemed to have dropped. Dragon King clasped his hands and asked,
"How's the situation?"
"His life is in danger." Ning Zitong replied concisely. "Luckily, Li Waide is in Linfu. We should be able to save him."
Li Waide was in his forties and was at the peak of Inhuman. He could have reached the Physical Invulnerability stage back then. When there was no hope for him to break through, he developed his interest in medicine to the extreme. Without any foundation, he studied western medicine step by step and mixed it with medicine, acupuncture, and other things. With his steady hands and the ability to see the smallest details, he became one of the top doctors in the country. He was especially good at surgery.
He had also signed up for the Battle of the Kings qualifiers. His main purpose was to join in the fun and meet his old friends.
"Where's the attacker?" Chen Qitao asked calmly.
"He was killed by Lou Cheng." Ning Zitong's beautiful face was filled with doubt.
Chen Qitao nodded slightly and released his clasped hands. He stood up abruptly and walked out of the door. The surrounding lights flickered without any wind.
As he walked, he said sternly, "Spread the news.
Let Linfu connect with the military system. When I arrive, I want to see the most detailed report. "
"Okay." As a senior expert, Ning Zitong actually followed Dragon King's lead at this moment.
She pondered for a few seconds and followed suit. She turned to Long Zhen and said,
"I'm going to Linfu too. Watch over here."
…
Wuyue Province, Moshang City.
Due to the Battle of the Kings, the professional matches were suspended for two weeks. Shi Yuejian was at home studying cooking.
At this moment, her phone vibrated continuously. It seemed to be in a hurry.
With a shake of her wrist, the water on her palm turned into ice and fell. Shi Yuejian picked up the phone, put it to her ear, and answered the call.
Her leisurely smile slowly sank. Her brows furrowed in suspicion and anger.
"Dad." After hanging up the phone, Shi Yuejian paused for a few seconds and shouted in the direction of the living room.
Geezer Shi, who was bored watching the match, shouted, "What's wrong? I didn't drink! "
"Something happened to Junior Brother!" Shi Yuejian walked into the living room.
"What?" Geezer Shi stood up abruptly. At first, he looked confused and puzzled. Then, his face darkened and his eyes turned cold and serious, just like when he was roaming the war-torn zones.
Didn't that brat just finish his match not long ago?
"Little Junior Brother was attacked when he went to the underground parking lot. He was seriously injured." Shi Yuejian said.
Geezer Shi opened his mouth and was about to ask when he suddenly coughed violently. He coughed so hard that his face turned red and his lungs felt like bellows.
"Longhu has found Li Waide. He's operating on him now," Shi Yuejian quickly added when her father's coughing subsided.
"Did you catch anyone?" Geezer Shi panted and asked.
"He was killed by Junior Brother on the spot." Shi Yuejian answered truthfully.
Geezer Shi's eyebrows trembled and he frowned. A strong sense of doubt arose in his pure anger.
He originally thought that it was some enemy who wanted to provoke a war, but who knew that it was not what he imagined.
If it was a Physical Invulnerability expert, the brat would definitely not be able to escape!
What was the purpose of that?
After pondering for a moment, Geezer Shi waved his hand and said,
"Ask the military to arrange a plane for me. I'm going to Linfu!"
"I'm going too!" Shi Yuejian said resolutely.
…
Xing Province, Xiushan City.
Yan Zheke leaned against the pillow, half lying and half sitting on the bed. Her legs were crossed and her tablet was placed on top of her head.
After watching the other matches, she picked up the phone beside her and turned on the screen. However, she did not see Lou Cheng's reply. Only the content of the conversation was shown.
"Go to Basement 2 and take a taxi back to the hotel! [Clenching fist expression expression]" Lou Cheng said.
"Why don't you go for supper to replenish your energy? After all, you almost lost the match. [Covering mouth expression expression] "She said.
Kacha. Locking her phone again, Yan Zheke shifted her gaze back to the tablet. She looked for new resources and watched the match between Lou Cheng and Zhi Tong repeatedly.
After a few minutes, she picked up her phone again. She still did not see a reply. She could not help but ask,
"Still not in the car?"
After waiting patiently for a while, she still did not hear the familiar special reminder. Yan Zheke looked at the screen from time to time and felt a little anxious.
Why is Cheng not replying?
If there is something, he will tell me in advance …
"Stuck in the elevator?" The girl could not control herself and sent another message. However, it was like throwing a stone into the ocean.
She put away the tablet, got off the bed and paced back and forth with her legs crossed.
"Is Cheng angry?" But I was just joking …
And, and he is not such a petty person!
Could it be that his phone ran out of battery? But every time his phone was at 10%, he would say something …
But there was a news report saying that some phones would run out of battery when they were at less than 20% …
Or maybe his phone suddenly broke down …
Yan Zheke thought of all kinds of reasons and tried to calm herself down and wait.
However, more than ten minutes had passed. She looked at her phone again and again, but there was still no reply. She was not in the mood to do anything else.
Taking a light breath, Yan Zheke opened her contact list and dialed Lou Cheng's number.
"Beep, beep, beep. The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later …"
The girl was stunned for a moment. She instinctively dialed again for confirmation.
"Beep, beep, beep. The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later …" Listening to the emotionless voice, Yan Zheke's phone froze beside her ear.
Is his phone really broken? She forced out her dimples and comforted herself.
If Cheng dropped his phone, I will laugh at him for the rest of his life!
Yan Zheke tried to think in a positive direction, but bad thoughts came one after another. Yan Zheke gradually became restless and restless.
She looked at the night sky outside and bit her lip. Ignoring her embarrassment, she ran out of the bedroom and went to her parents' door. She knocked on it.
"Ke, what's wrong?" Ji Mingyu opened the door in her pajamas and asked in confusion.
"Mom, do you know anyone from Linfu? I can't get in touch with Cheng. I'm worried about him. " Yan Zheke did not hide her wild thoughts. "If you don't know him, I can ask grandpa and grandma to ask the Shushan Study's disciples."
"How long has it been?" Ji Mingyu frowned.
"More than 20 minutes. He … If he wasn't stuck in traffic, he would have reached the hotel. He would have definitely gone online and told me …" Yan Zheke rubbed her right foot on the carpet and answered in frustration and confusion.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It vibrated strongly and the ringtone was melodious.
Looking over, she saw that it was her "grandfather." Yan Zheke's heartbeat quickened inexplicably. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, as if something was about to jump out of her throat.
"Hello, Grandpa?" She picked up and asked carefully.
"Hurry to Linfu. Something happened to Lou Cheng," Ji Jianzhang said calmly.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong …" Yan Zheke's hand trembled and her eyes suddenly froze. The phone in her hand with a metallic luster slipped and fell on the carpet with a thud.
…
Linfu Airport.
Dragon King, Chen Qitao, and Empress Luo had just entered the reception car when they received the detailed report.
"The cameras at the scene were destroyed and the surveillance cameras in the areas where the attacker passed by were also disrupted. However, we still managed to find a small amount of video footage. After an emergency investigation and questioning in the city, we have basically locked down the attacker's hotel and his behavior during this period. Combining the information with the 'portrait' of the witnesses and the connection with the intelligence system, we have confirmed that the attacker is Ge Hui, Princess Irina's tutor from the Samanno Royal Family. He studied abroad at the age of 18 and completed his immigration before graduation. We initially tried to establish a good relationship with him and planted a chess piece in the Samanno Royal Family, but he rejected us."
"The Samanno Royal Family?" Ning Zitong muttered in confusion.
Why did they attack Lou Cheng?
"Lou Cheng worked as a security guard for the Samanno Royal Family last month, but did not have any conflicts with them." The military personnel added.
Dragon King leaned back in his chair, his eyes half-closed. Tapping his fingers on the armrest, he muttered to himself in a low voice,
"The Samanno Royal Family …"
He opened his eyes abruptly. They were dark but bright, as though the brightest star in the night sky was hidden within.
He said calmly, "Wait until Lou Cheng wakes up."
Dragon King was easily angered, but he was not reckless.
"Yes, sir. We will analyze the items and remains of Ge Hui in the hotel next," the military personnel replied solemnly.
…
The next day, nine in the morning.
Outside the operating theater, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen. The medical personnel moving in and out were cautious, like ships in a storm.
A total of six Physical Invulnerability Mighty Ones had gathered in this small place!
The Dragon King was sitting on a bench, waiting with his eyes closed. Geezer Shi was drinking hard liquor and coughing from time to time. Shi Yuejian and Ning Zitong were standing by the window not far away. They had no desire to talk and were pacing back and forth. Ji Jianzhang and Dou Ning were sitting on either side of Yan Zheke.
Yan Zheke's fingers were subconsciously intertwined. Her eyes were slightly red as she stared at the door. Her expression was firm and stubborn, as though she was supporting her partner in the operating theater. Ji Mingyu and Yan Kai looked at her worriedly.
After another half an hour, the lights changed. The operation was finally completed.
Wearing a mask, Li Waide felt a strong gust of wind the moment he stepped out of the operating theater. He saw many pairs of eyes staring at him.
Not daring to show his humorous side, he took off his mask, cleared his throat and said,
"The operation went well. The patient's will to live is very strong. As for my skills, I'm not bad either. I'm out of danger, but I still need to observe him for a while."
Hearing this, Yan Zheke's vision blurred. She heard the sound of her own exhalation and the choking sound that she had suppressed for a long time.
She wiped her face. It was full of wet marks.
Seeing that Geezer Shi and the rest had heaved a sigh of relief, Li Waide coughed twice and said,
"However, with such a serious injury, I can't guarantee how much he can recover in the future and whether he can reach Physical Invulnerability. Moreover …"
He paused for a while and continued,
"Moreover, he overexerted himself and suffered a serious backlash. There might be some sequelae."
