Chapter 81 Red Alert
Until Fu Xingchen suddenly pointed the finger at her.
"I'm sure my wife had a grudge against Shi Huai before, but why is it such a coincidence that Shi Huai showed up to arrest us when we were not with her and only Mu Jiaojiao and Le Yan were there?"
Fu Xingchen paused for a moment and glanced at everyone present, his sharp gaze stinging everyone's eyes.
"If you say there's no traitor in Central City, I don't believe it."
Mu Sheng glanced calmly at Mu Jiaojiao, who was visibly panicking, and suddenly laughed.
"I sent people to check on the day of the incident. The protective measures of our central city were not affected in any way, and there was no damage in the city. Although Shi Huai appeared in Jiaojiao's garden, it had been destroyed by you, and you also know that there is nothing special in it. I suspect that Shi Huai must have received help from other zombies to sneak in."
Fu Xingchen's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "If he can come in once, he can come in a second time. Aren't you afraid?"
Mu Sheng choked and felt humiliated, his face turning red with anger.
Even if he wanted to get angry, he could only hold it in.
"Dad," Mu Jiaojiao couldn't bear to watch any longer. She stood up suddenly with a serious expression as if she was about to be executed. "Don't hide it for me. It's obviously my fault. I should accept the punishment."
Mu Sheng slammed the table, pointed at Mu Jiaojiao's nose and scolded, "Jiaojiao, what nonsense are you talking about! Sit down quickly!"
Mu Jinsheng looked at Mu Jiaojiao worriedly, watching his sister, whom he had raised with great care, kneel down in front of Shao Leyan with a plop, crying bitterly with guilt.
"Sister Le Yan, I'm sorry for you. It was because of me that Shi Huai was able to enter the city smoothly. But I really didn't expect that he and you had a grudge and even kidnapped you forcefully."
Mu Sheng clenched his fists in frustration and pulled Mu Jinsheng to stop them.
"Jinsheng, keep an eye on your sister."
Mu Jinsheng sighed and shook his head at Mu Sheng, who became even more angry.
"Well, you two have grown so powerful now that you don't even take me, your father, seriously!"
Mu Sheng swung his arms, stood up and wanted to leave. Just as he took a step, a bolt of lightning struck in front of him, missing his toes by a centimeter.
Mu Sheng was still in shock and couldn't stop shaking all over. He slowly turned around to look at the culprit.
Fu Xingchen's lips curled slightly, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave. It's not too late to ask questions after you've made them clear, no matter how busy you are."
Fu Xingchen gently patted the back of Shao Leyan's hand to comfort him. Shao Leyan nodded and shifted his gaze to Mu Jiaojiao, who was kneeling and sobbing softly.
She did not blame Mu Jiaojiao for this experience at all, but considering Fu Xingchen's mood, she could not let this matter go lightly.
"You let him in?"
Mu Jiaojiao wiped the tears from her face and answered honestly: "Shi Huai gave me a zombie crystal core. He can use this crystal core to ignore any obstacles and teleport to where the crystal core is."
Shao Leyan knew that as the heroine of the world, all the male protagonists would have different degrees of contact with Mu Jiaojiao and their favorability towards her would not be low.
But when
Since Huai could give her a token of their meeting at any time, and they were friends, why would he rather hurt Mu Jiaojiao than kidnap her?
Shao Leyan couldn't understand, "Why did he give you this?"
"He saved me before. To repay him, I secretly brought him into the city."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng's blood pressure rose instantly and he felt so dizzy that he couldn't stand still.
"dad!"
Mu Jinsheng quickly supported Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng pulled his arm out of Mu Jinsheng's hand, pointed at Mu Jiaojiao, and cursed, "Rebellious girl!"
Mu Jiaojiao shrank her shoulders in fear, lowered her head almost into her chest, and didn't dare to look Mu Sheng in the eye.
Shao Leyan: "It seems that you two have a good relationship. He finally came to the Central City once, but he didn't take the opportunity to catch you all in one fell swoop."
Mu Jiaojiao: "He likes my garden very much. He only goes there every time he comes. In order to make it convenient for him to see the flowers, I put the crystal core in my living room."
Fu Xingchen suddenly asked: "Where is the crystal core now?"
Mu Jiaojiao glanced hesitantly at Mu Sheng, who was almost pissed off by her, and opened her mouth but still said nothing.
Fu Xingchen didn't force it. He turned his gaze to Mu Sheng, who was lying on the sofa pretending to be dead, and said, "Hand over the crystal core."
Mu Sheng didn't move.
Bang!
Another bolt of thunder struck, this time directly between Mu Sheng's legs. Even the most dizzy and unconscious person could now feel extremely energetic.
Mu Sheng held Mu Jinsheng's hand tightly, trying to restrain himself from throwing himself into his son's arms. His tongue was tied and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Those…those harmful things, I…I dealt with them all."
"How did you deal with it?"
"It's just a small crystal core. All we need to do is use up the energy inside."
"Are you sure what kind of superpowers are inside?"
"Whatever superpower it is, as long as it's not used in my central city."
Mu Jinsheng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Dad, that crystal core is not in your hands now?"
"Of course, there's no use in me keeping it."
Just as he finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the room, and the warning light on the desk emitted a dazzling red light.
Fu Xingchen and Shao Leyan didn't know why, but the three people from the Mu family knew it very well. Their faces turned solemn and pale in an instant.
The red light is on, which is the highest level of danger warning in the central city.
If there were no crisis that could destroy the city, this red light might never light up in its lifetime.
Mu Jinsheng calmed down instantly, glanced at Mu Sheng, who was sweating profusely, and volunteered, "Dad, Chuchen and the others haven't come back yet. You and Jiaojiao should stay here and wait for my news."
After saying that, Mu Jinsheng left without looking back.
Shao Leyan didn't know what was going on, he just followed Fu Xingchen's gaze and looked out the window.
The central city is a circular city with the city lord's palace located at the center of the circle. Mu Sheng's office is on the top floor with the best view, and everything in the city can be seen through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
At this time, the yellow sand outside the city gate was blown by the wind and almost covered the world outside the city, and was eroding the central city at an extremely fast speed.
This was the first time Shao Leyan had seen a sandstorm of this magnitude in his two lifetimes.
Suddenly, Fu Xingchen stood up, took Shao Leyan's hand, and dragged her out.
"City Lord Mu, I'd like to borrow your space transfer station again."
Mu Sheng had not yet recovered from the crisis alert. When he heard Fu Xingchen say this, he subconsciously thought that he saw that the central city was in crisis and wanted to run away without helping.
He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he stood up on his sore and trembling legs and shouted hysterically at Fu Xingchen.
"I won't allow it! You can't leave!"
Fu Xingchen, who had already reached the door, turned back with a cold face and said, "I won't leave, but I want to send my wife back to the underground city."
