Tang Ning looked around and quickly locked onto the surveillance cameras above the city gate.

"Pull up that surveillance footage."

"yes."

Soon, the soldier took out a device, operated it for a while, and then handed it over.

Tang Ning took the video and her eyes narrowed immediately. Sure enough, the video showed the people described by others. She slid the progress bar and sped up the video to the scene of the military personnel taking action.

"Colonel, why didn't we see that man make a move?" the officer beside him asked in surprise when he saw the soldiers not moving.

“Some superpowers don’t require any action. This person is very strong. I’ll report the information to the military immediately,” Tang Ning said after putting away the equipment.

"yes."

"What about these brothers?" the officer then asked, looking at the men who were still standing still.

"You two stay here and guard the city. I'll send reinforcements. Keep the city gates as usual." After saying that, Tang Ning turned around and boarded the aircraft, then flew towards the Huaxia Military Headquarters in the city center.

The headquarters of the Chinese military in Shanghai is located in the city center. It is a giant metal building that is 300 meters tall. There are many platforms around the building, which are specially designed for aircraft to land. There are also isolation walls that are tens of meters high. It looks like a huge strategic fortress.

Tang Ning's aircraft flew to the entrance of the top floor of the building and stopped. Many soldiers at the entrance immediately stood in neat rows.

"salute."

"Whoosh..."

Hundreds of soldiers immediately saluted the aircraft and looked at it with reverence; clearly, everyone recognized the owner of the aircraft.

Tang Ning stepped off the aircraft, ignoring everyone else, and walked straight into the building, her steps appearing very hurried.

"Sizzle..."

The main entrance to the building opened directly, and Tang Ning continued walking inside.

Soon they arrived at a spacious office, which was already full of people, all dressed in military uniforms and exuding a powerful aura.

"Little Tang is here." One of them immediately smiled as Tang Ning entered.

"Tang Ning reporting for duty." Tang Ning saluted the crowd.

The others nodded.

"Colonel Tang Ning, you just asked me to gather everyone together, saying you had something urgent to report?" the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier asked.

"Yes, General. Something just happened at Gate 18 in the West District. Our guards have been brought under control," Tang Ning said quickly.

"Get it under control? What's going on?" The general's expression immediately turned serious, and the others quickly sat up straight.

Tang Ning walked to the front, took out a device, pressed a few buttons on it, and immediately projected an image onto the wall, which was the scene where Li Daoyi had appeared earlier.

"Huh? A psychic?" someone asked after reading it.

"It could be mind control."

"It doesn't look like it to me; the person didn't move."

The people in the conference room began to discuss it.

"Let me explain," Tang Ning interrupted the group. "I had my men try to move them, but even with their supernatural abilities, they couldn't budge them an inch, and all of these soldiers are physically normal."

"So impressive? Don't you have any information on them?" the general asked.

"No, I checked the Alliance database immediately, and there was no information on either of them, including the child," Tang Ning replied.

"General, I will take men to the outer city immediately," an officer said, standing up.

"Wait a minute."

“This could be a special ability user, with strength at least at level A,” the general said.

"A-level? How is that possible?" Everyone was immediately shocked. However, Tang Ning remained calm, as she had the same thought in her mind.

A-level ability users are among the top powerhouses in the world, and they are generals in the military. The general in the conference room is an A-level ability user, and he is known as the God of War.

In any faction, A-level ability users are always honored guests, and no one would easily offend them.

"General, why is there no information about him?" someone asked.

"Sigh, the world is so big, not all superhumans are included in the Alliance's database. I suspect these people are hidden powerhouses who may not have had any contact with the Alliance before. We can't afford to offend these people; it would be best if we could win them over."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"What about the person who was with him? That peddler?"

“I’ve checked too. His name is Li Yuan, he’s forty years old, widowed, and has a twelve-year-old daughter. He’s scheduled to awaken next week, and his family is clean,” Tang Ning said.

"That's good, it means the other party didn't have any ulterior motives."

"Beep beep beep..."

Just then, Tang Ning's communicator rang.

“He’s one of my men,” Tang Ning said after glancing at him.

The general nodded.

"Hello."

"Colonel, the brothers can move again. Just now, suddenly they could all move again, and their physical condition is normal," a voice came from the communicator.

"Okay, I understand. Let them continue working."

After saying that, Tang Ning turned off the communicator and then checked the time.

“Exactly one hour,” Tang Ning said, looking up.

"Oh? An hour? To be able to keep someone motionless like a statue, that's quite an ability," the general exclaimed.

"Here's what we'll do, Xiao Tang. Keep this matter under wraps for now. All witnesses must remain silent and not let it leak out. Then, you go to the outer city yourself and make contact with them. Remember, you absolutely cannot offend anyone. Find out their background, and I'll report to headquarters and see what they say."

“Yes,” Tang Ning replied immediately.

He then turned and left.

"This child still has such a cold demeanor. How could that bastard Tang have given birth to such a daughter?" The general couldn't help but sigh as he watched Tang Ning's departing figure.

"Haha, although Tang Ning comes from a prominent family, he is nothing like those spoiled brats."

"The Tang family has a worthy successor."

Everyone nodded in approval.

Outside the city, in the Li family's courtyard, a table was set up with steaming hot food on it.

"Wow, it smells so good! What kind of meat is this?" Mengmeng asked happily, sticking her little head close to the table.

"This is alien beast meat, it's very expensive," Xiao Kui explained.

"It smells delicious," Saitama exclaimed.

"You've gone to so much trouble," Li Daoyi said with a smile.

"No expense, no expense." At this moment, Li Yuan brought out two large plates of dishes, which also looked like alien beast meat.

“The gold you gave me, sir, is worth more than a month’s worth of my stall business. This meal is nothing,” Li Yuan said.

"Xiao Kui, when will you awaken?" Li Daoyi asked at this moment.

"Ah, I...I'll be back in a week." Xiao Kui felt a little shy when she heard the other person call her name.

"Really? I wonder if I'll be able to go and take a look then."

“Yes, yes,” Li Yuan quickly replied.

The group then began to eat. It must be said that Li Yuan's cooking skills were excellent; even someone as discerning as Li Daoyi, who was extremely picky about taste, held him in high regard.

However, the way Mengmeng and Qiyu ate left the father and daughter stunned. In just a few minutes, the entire table of food was devoured, and Xiaokui was still holding her chopsticks blankly, unable to pick up any food.

"Hmm, that's too little." Mengmeng looked at Li Yuan, her big eyes blinking.

"I...I'll do it again, I'll do it again." Li Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly got up.

Just then, the sound of an aircraft came from the sky, and then a helicopter-sized aircraft landed outside the yard.

“Sir, that’s the military,” Li Yuan said quickly.

"It's alright, go ahead and do your thing," Saitama waved his hand.

"Okay, okay." Li Yuan nodded quickly and then returned to the kitchen.

Xiao Kui looked worriedly out the door at the military, and then she couldn't help but look at Li Daoyi.

"Don't be afraid," Li Daoyi smiled.

"Mm." Seeing Li Daoyi's gentle smile, Xiao Kui's anxiety instantly disappeared.

"Knock knock..." A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Open the door," Li Daoyi said to Xiao Kui.

Xiao Kui hurried over and opened the door. Standing there was Tang Ning, dressed in military uniform, with a lithe figure and stunning beauty. Xiao Kui was immediately stunned.

"Hello," Tang Ning said softly.

"Ah, you...you are..." Xiao Kui stammered, pointing at Tang Ning. She naturally recognized this important figure, but she never expected him to appear at her doorstep one day.

"May I come in?"

"Please, please come in." Xiao Kui quickly stepped aside.

Tang Ning slowly walked in and immediately saw several people in the courtyard. One of them, a very handsome young man, was wiping the mouth of a three-year-old girl, while another bald man was shaving his mouth with a toothpick, completely disregarding his appearance. The group seemed oblivious to his arrival.

"Do you always have to get yourself all dirty when you eat?" Li Daoyi said, pinching Mengmeng's cute little face.

"Hehe..." The little guy laughed happily.

"Cough..." Tang Ning coughed at this moment.

"Hello," Tang Ning said.

"Is something the matter?" Li Daoyi didn't look up and continued to tidy Mengmeng's clothes.

"My name is Tang Ning, and I belong to the Shanghai Military Command of the Chinese military. I hold the rank of colonel. Regarding what just happened at Gate 18, I express my deepest apologies on behalf of the military. Our men acted too impulsively. Also, thank you for your leniency." After speaking, Tang Ning straightened up and saluted Li Dao and his party.

Only then did Li Daoyi raise his head and carefully examine the woman in front of him.

"Excellent, truly the style of a soldier. Moreover, he speaks with reason and evidence, immediately stating that his side attacked first, without using his status to make excuses." Li Daoyou secretly praised him.

"It's alright, they're just doing their job," Li Daoyi smiled.

"Please sit down," Li Daoyi said, gesturing to the chair beside him.

"Colonel Tang, please have a seat." Xiao Kui quickly moved the chair around.

Tang Ning nodded, then sat down straight.

"You haven't eaten, have you?" Li Daoyi asked.

“Uh…” Tang Ning paused for a moment, but still shook her head.

"That's perfect. Let's eat and chat. I have many questions I want to ask you." Li Daoyi smiled slightly.

Tang Ning suddenly felt that something was wrong. She was the one who came to check this person's information, but it seemed like the roles had been reversed.
