"Little girl, don't be anxious. Want to tell us what happened?"
Caitlin bent one knee and knelt on the ground, holding the gun in her arms, one hand on Baobao's shoulder, and with the other hand gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked in a soft voice.
Baobao blinked his tearful eyes. Caitlin's concern for him made all the grievances and sadness in his heart burst out at once, and he began to cry:
"Van, Vander... wuwuwu..."
I recalled the scene I had just seen when I came out of Fulgrim's Tavern: the scarlet liquid scattered all over the ground, the smell of blood in the air, the painful groans of the seriously injured...
Baobao's face gradually turned pale, his bloodless lips trembled slightly, fear emerged in his heart, and he stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Caitlin noticed her emotional instability, and she reached out to hold her shoulders, hugging her in her arms while patting her back and comforting her:
"Don't be afraid, you are safe..."
It turns out that Caitlin is good at dealing with children.
After a while, Baobao gradually stopped crying and calmed down a lot, but he still sniffled from time to time.
Li Lin also lowered his body as much as possible, "Baobao, can you tell us what happened?"
"Tonight, a group of people came looking for Vander and a conflict broke out. They injured everyone in the tavern and even took Vander away..."
Baobao's voice choked with sobs. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Wei and Craig went to ask Sevika and Benso for help. Milo went to track down the people who took Fandel away..."
"Isn't Fandel the boss of the Black Alley? How could he be captured in his own territory?"
Caitlin glanced at Jace, signaling him not to interrupt, and then continued to ask Baobao for some details.
Unfortunately, Baobao, who did not witness the battle scene with his own eyes, only knew a rough account of what happened.
Moreover, when she came out, she was frightened by the scene in the tavern, and her whole body is still trembling and she has not yet recovered from the shock.
"We need to go to Fulgrim's Tavern and take a look."
Li Lin was not in a good mood. He suspected that Vandel was most likely captured at this point in time and was transformed into a werewolf by Singed in the following years.
Vandal is still the adoptive father of Vi and Boom Boom, and he absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch this happen.
Jace wasn't too keen on wasting time on strangers. "But what about Caitlin's parents?"
"I also think we should start the investigation with the fact that Fandel was captured."
Caitlin agreed with Li Lin's idea.
"The attack on the Evolution Day Conference just happened in Upper City, and my parents were captured. Then there's rioting in the dark alleys of Lower City... I suspect the people who captured Fandel have some clues about my parents, or maybe they're the mastermind behind it."
They may not be the mastermind behind this, but they are definitely being used by the guy codenamed "C".
Li Lin added in his heart.
Jace shrugged helplessly, "Well... okay, I'll do as you say."
Li Lin controlled the armor to close the mask again and stood up. "Baobao, let's go to Fugen Tavern first."
…
…
A few minutes later, the group followed the crowded crowd to the Fugen Tavern.
This place had already been occupied by gang members. About a dozen strong men were busy running around, treating the injured people in the bar who were still breathing.
However, it is affected by many factors such as medical equipment, sanitary conditions, lack of medical skills and untimely rescue.
So far, ten out of more than twenty people have completely lost their voices, and their souls have returned to the realm of the dead.
Just as Li Lin and his four companions were approaching, a voice filled with anger and impatience stopped them: "The tavern is closed. We are not accepting customers today. Go back to where you came from."
Because they were fully armed, at least 30 people inside and outside the Fulgrim's Tavern stopped what they were doing, grabbed their weapons, and stared at them with a fierce and vigilant look.
Most of their eyes were on Li Lin, who was wearing power armor, but they didn't pay much attention to Caitlin and Jace who were holding guns and hammers.
Jace placed the hammer on the ground, feeling somewhat helpless. "We're not here to drink."
He turned sideways and noticed a bald, burly man with a thick brown beard, frowning and looking at them with an unhappy expression.
"I don't care if you've been drinking or not, just get out of here, you're from the upper city." The bald man's tone was not polite at all.
At this time, Baobao squeezed out from behind Caitlin and ran to the bald strong man, "They are here to help!"
"You are...Vandel's youngest daughter?"
The bald strong man recognized Baobao and waved to his brothers, asking them to continue with their own work.
Then, he sighed and squatted down, his eyes level with Baobao's, his tone much calmer: "Why are you with these people from the upper city?"
"I'm here to ask for their help." Boom bit his lip, "and they're friends of Vandel."
"Friends? Oh, how come I didn't know Vandel had friends in the upper city?"
The bald burly man glared at Li Lin, Caitlin and Jace with a sharp look, then lowered his eyes and continued to look at Baobao.
"You won't be fooled by these guys, right?"
Being repeatedly provoked and questioned by the bald man, Jace's temper suddenly flared up, "Hey, you guy..."
"Calm down Jace, we're not here to cause trouble."
Caitlin frowned and reached out to stop Jace who was about to rush up to argue.
