Chapter 356 The Chu Family
Looking at the clearly burned-out palace buildings before him, Jiang Wan was filled with unbearable shock.
So, had the regime in Longcheng actually already fallen?
Her gaze fell upon the robots around her, her thoughts a jumble of emotions. But she had to admit that at this moment, the only thought that flashed through her mind was that the government of Dragon City might have been completely taken over by these robots.
She forced herself to remain calm and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
The robot chuckled and said to her, "You are a smart person. We have shown you so much today, and I believe you will make a decision in your heart. Don't think about playing tricks, because it will all be in vain. Your government no longer exists, so what are you still struggling for?"
Although Jiang Wan has always been calm and indifferent, and often keeps to herself, many people say that she is cold, selfish, and lacks human touch.
But that doesn't mean she can tolerate others insulting her country and the regime she believes in in front of her. Almost without hesitation, she brandished her vine whip and lashed it at the robot's face.
But these robots, which looked clumsy, were surprisingly agile after switching to combat mode in a second. They nimbly dodged Jiang Wan's attacks and then instantly counterattacked. When they saw the rattan protective shield on her body, the robots immediately surrounded her.
Jiang Wan could even see the excited and joyful glint in the eyes of the leading robot butler.
He pointed at her and said, "You're a superhuman! You're actually a superhuman! Not bad, not bad. Men, take her away!"
As he finished speaking, several robots came up from not far away. They seemed to be carrying special weapons. Jiang Wan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw them. It seemed that these were specifically designed to target people with superpowers.
She instinctively wanted to retreat and run away, but she didn't have Cheng Zhen's teleportation ability. She tried to fight back with her vine whip, but they quickly subdued her.
Oh no, she wasn't calm enough after all, and she was careless!
Just as she was about to be captured and taken away by these robots, a sudden commotion broke out all around them. Countless people surged toward them, like zombies, devoid of reason and with only one goal.
They rushed forward like puppets, and more and more people rushed over instantly, scattering the robots. At the same time, gunshots rang out all around. Some of the people at the front were shot down, but those behind were fearless. They were like they were possessed, and they all pinned the robots down.
They came quickly and left quickly. In just two minutes, everyone had retreated like the tide. The leader of the robots angrily got up from the ground and looked around. Where was Jiang Wan?
Where she had been standing, only a broken fuse and a ignition device remained.
This was the first time they had encountered human resistance since they occupied Dragon City, and they suffered a crushing defeat.
"Find them! You must find them immediately! If you can't, have them all shot!"
The robot was furious and immediately issued orders.
Jiang Wan was completely stunned. There was a person standing next to her, a human, not a robot. His hand on her shoulder radiated normal human body temperature, which did not make her feel uncomfortable in the hot weather.
Jiang Wan turned her head to look at him, confirming that she did not recognize this person.
Noticing her scrutiny, the man simply put a finger to his lips to signal her to be quiet, then quickly led her away from the scene.
The robots outside seemed unable to see them, and Jiang Wan instantly realized that he was an invisible superhuman.
"Hurry up, these robots can't recognize my superpower, but they'll realize it soon and request reinforcements. Then we won't be able to leave."
After walking a short distance, the man whispered something quickly in her ear.
Jiang Wan nodded and quickly left with him.
After running for ages, they finally reached a basement.
The path from the ground floor to the basement was extremely winding, but the man didn't blindfold her, seemingly unconcerned that she knew. The entire entrance path.
Once inside the room, Jiang Wan discovered that there were over twenty people gathered there, but she didn't recognize any of them.
He looked them over suspiciously, then asked the man who had brought her, "Who are you? Thank you for saving me. How do I get out of the city?"
"The entire Dragon City is equipped with their special devices, and no one in the city can leave without their permission."
The speaker was very handsome, but he had an imposing presence that commanded respect without being angry.
Jiang Wan sensed that he was probably the leader of their group, and she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity from him.
But she couldn't remember who he was for a moment. Staring at his features, she felt a strong sense of familiarity and couldn't help but ask, "Do we know each other?"
The man's bright eyes fell on his face, and then he asked, "Is Chu Xiulin your mother?"
Hearing her mother's name from a stranger, Jiang Wan was quite surprised: "You know my mother? Who are you?"
"My name is Chu Yuntian."
When the man spoke, Jiang Wan was stunned. He also had the surname Chu, and after his reminder, Jiang Wan instantly realized where the familiarity in his face came from. He looked very much like her mother.
So who are you?
Chu Yuntian nodded at him: "Your mother is my aunt."
Jiang Wan was quite surprised to find that there was a family reunion at this time, because she had never heard of where her mother's hometown was since she was a child. Her mother avoided talking about it. Although she and her father never went back to their respective hometowns, Jiang Cheng did not shy away from telling her where his hometown was and who his relatives were.
However, her mother is real, and she has never mentioned her mother. I never expected that her family was actually in Longcheng.
Seeing her facial expression, Chu Yuntian knew that Chu Xiulin had never told her about their existence.
He immediately dismissed his attendants, and when only the two of them remained in the room, he said, "Your mother insisted on marrying your father against the family's wishes, so he has been expelled from the family."
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, but not too shocked, because she knew a little about her mother and father's situation. Now that she thought about it, it was normal. If they hadn't been expelled from the family, it was impossible that there would have been no interaction between the two sides for so many years.
She nodded in understanding, but soon, Chu Yuntian's next words made her jaw drop: "My father is Chu Xiong."
"Chu Xiong?"
Even Jiang Wan, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Then, staring wide-eyed, she asked uncertainly, "Our President Chu Xiong?"
