Aunt Liu was flabbergasted when she heard that Liu Aijun was kidnapped. Then, she hurriedly ran to the place where he always played at. She had a breakdown when she saw no one was there."Jiang Hui, is Aijun kidnapped too? Is it the enemy of their father? Is it?" Aunt Liu wasn"t gentle anymore, as she grabbed Ling Lan"s hand agitatedly.
"Aunt Liu, calm down. This has nothing to do with Uncle Liu." Ling Lan used some spiritual power as she spoke. It woke up Aunt Liu who was drowned by emotions.
Aunt Liu felt her mind becoming clearer. She calmed down and started crying. "It"s all my fault. I can"t even protect my children."
"Crying is a good thing." Ling Lan relaxed for the moment. She signaled to another woman at the side and asked her to console Aunt Liu.
"Boss, what do we do now?" Little Four didn"t know what to do in the face of such a sudden situation.
"Look for w.a.n.g Qi and Liu Aihua," Ling Lan rubbed her forehead as she said.
"What about Little White?" Little Four was more concerned about Little White who had some relationship with him.
"With Little White around, anyone below the domain realm won"t be able to hurt Liu Aijun." Ling Lan replied calmly, "I"m more worried about w.a.n.g Qi and Liu Aihua, especially w.a.n.g Qi. I feel that the opponent"s real objective is him. The Liu family is just to confuse me."
"I understand, Boss." Little Four got a trance so he started tracking w.a.n.g Qi and Liu Aihua. Little Four"s tracking ability was impressive. After some time, he managed to find the den of the people that kidnapped w.a.n.g Qi and Liu Aihua.
"Here?" Ling Lan was shocked but not surprised. This was the only place that had the ability to restrict her movements.
"The government of Planet Muyang. Let me see who you are!" Ling Lan prepared to save the two people. However, before she left, she hid Aunt Liu and Luo Yi somewhere safe. She didn"t want them to get abducted after she came back from saving the two people. It was tiring to keep saving people.
"Aunt Liu, did Uncle Liu leave any words behind? For instance, someone you can find for help when you meet any trouble." Ling Lan only hoped that Liu Furong was a responsible person.
Aunt Liu thought for a moment and shook her head. There was no one she could rely on in Planet Muyang. If not, she wouldn"t have to lead such a poor life.
Ling Lan had expected this answer. She just asked in case there was some chance. After she heard Aunt Liu"s reply, she decided to bring them along with her. She would hide them close to her while she was carrying out her plan. Under Little Four"s surveillance, her opponents wouldn"t have a chance to attack them.
Just as Ling Lan was about to tell Aunt Liu her decision, Aunt Liu suddenly thought about something. She gasped and ran into her house. The house was in ruins but the courtyard was still there.
There was a cellar in a corner of the courtyard. She opened it and walked in. Ling Lan was afraid that Aunt Liu would face some danger so she followed her closely.
It was a simple cellar. The walls were made from crude soil. In one glance, you could see the entire cellar. Besides cabbage and potatoes, there was nothing of value in the cellar.
Of course, this was what a normal person would see. Ling Lan used her spiritual power to scan the area and noticed an abnormal spot.
Unsurprisingly, Aunt Liu walked to the abnormal spot. She took a shovel from the wall and started digging the spot.
The soil in the cellar was hard. Aunt Liu started panting after digging a few times. Ling Lan came forward and said, "Aunt Liu, let me do it."
"Thank you. Jiang Hui, dig in this direction. My husband said that if I meet any life-or-death situation, I can dig the thing out. It may be able to save my life." After Aihua was born, her husband came back to see the baby. Before he left, he left her with this sentence. Many years had pa.s.sed so Aunt Liu had forgotten about it. Her husband had just casually mentioned it at that time too.
Ling Lan used her domain energy and dug the ground. After some time, a deep hole was formed. Aunt Liu didn"t suspect anything. She just thought that Ling Lan had herculean strength.
Clang! The shovel hit something hard. Ling Lan bent down and picked up a hard object.
It was a small wooden box in the size of a palm. It looked like a metal box and the sound when the shovel hit it sounded like a metal box too. However, Ling Lan knew that it was really made from wood. This wood was a special kind of wood, metal wood. This kind of wood was as tough as metal.
But, it could still be burnt. A high temperature was required to burn this type of wood but it could still be burnt.
There was a pa.s.scode lock on the box. Ling Lan looked at Aunt Liu. A pa.s.scode was needed to open the box.
"It"s a four-number pa.s.scode lock," Ling Lan reminded Aunt Liu.
"It"s Aihua"s birthday, 0430." Aunt Liu thought for a moment. She remembered her husband telling her that it was a birthday gift for Aihua.
Ling Lan pressed the number and heard the sound of lock opening. The wooden box opened, revealing a small object that looked like a b.u.t.ton.
Ling Lan was speechless when she looked at the thing. She dug with so much effort and this was what she got? If she knew this would happen, she would have contacted 250 Ace Mecha Clan directly.
"Ah, it"s this." Aunt Liu"s eyes lit up. She took the b.u.t.ton and squeezed it.
The b.u.t.ton broke…
Ling Lan felt helpless as she asked, "Aunt Liu, do you know what this is?"
Aunt Liu nodded. "My husband told me that we can use this to communicate with him when he was away from us. However, the communication is one way and it can only be used one time. I wonder if he can receive it." Aunt Liu was worried that the communicator was spoilt.
Aunt Liu was hopeful but Ling Lan knew that she couldn"t rely on Liu Furong. Liu Furong was on Planet Haijiao now, helping 250 Ace Mecha Clan to gain more merits. Even if he had returned to the Federation, he was still a few millions of light-years away from Planet Muyang. He would need at least ten days to reach here.
By the time Liu Furong reached here, it would already be too late.
Ling Lan had no choice but to continue with her ordinary plan. She brought Aunt Liu and Luo Yi along with her as she went towards the central government building of Planet Muyang.
At the same time, the shuttle that entered Planet Muyang once a week was moving towards it slowly. There was a pa.s.senger who had a thick beard on the shuttle. His eyes revealed his excitement and longing. Suddenly, his expression changed for the worse. He turned agitated. He wanted to land on Planet Muyang immediately.
This man was Liu Furong. After Liu Furong returned to 250 Ace Mecha Clan, he requested for a leave from Lin Zhong-qing. When his leave was approved, he travelled to many planets and changed his disguise multiple times. After confirming that no one was following him, he used the disguise that he always put on when he went home.
