Chapter 401: Eighteen learns the art of slaying dragons and returns home to clean up the family
The fourth son of the Chen family, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and slapped himself wildly in the face. This scene really opened Eiry's eyes.
She tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve: "Sakura, is Nono's family also a gang?"
She grew up in a gang family, and although she had little contact with gang activities due to her physical condition, even when the family held a meeting, she would mostly just sit quietly by and act as a mascot.
But there were always times when she would run into family members being punished in public for making mistakes, and Yuan Zhisheng would not deliberately let her avoid it.
However, the punishment methods of the main family are usually more cruel. They often remove some parts from the body. Most of the punished people grit their teeth and endure it without saying a word.
This was the first time she had seen someone crying and begging for mercy like this.
"It's... a slightly more advanced criminal group, but the essence is similar."
Lu Mingfei thought about it for a moment and felt that Eiry's description was not bad. Although the Chen family had a big business and would encounter many bad things and use many shady means, the illegal and criminal activities they had committed were no less than those who had made a fortune. They were even so bold as to collude with foreign forces.
Dodging four lunatics who were sobbing and unaware of what the world was like, the two continued to head towards the main building.
Because all the electronic equipment in the entire manor was paralyzed, the security guards scattered throughout the manor had noticed something was wrong and rushed over following the sounds of slapping and crying.
However, as soon as they saw Lu Mingfei, they didn't even have time to react. It was as if they were hit by Adam's hammer. Their eyes went black, and they fell to the ground without a sound, falling into a deep coma.
At the same time, in the study on the upper floor of the main building, Mrs. Chen was hiding behind the thick velvet curtains, and she had a panoramic view of the horrifying scene of more than 20 black-clad bodyguards downstairs falling to the ground like harvested ears of wheat.
She had sensed something was wrong when the four siblings of the Chen family started mocking her just now. This morning, after she took the key back to see her husband, he mentioned the matter of that dead kid Nono, and his tone was very unhappy, with the helpless rage of a child who had grown up and refused to listen to his parents, but whom the parents were temporarily unable to punish.
In this situation, how could Nuonuo return to the manor on his own?
When she left home for Kassel, she packed up all of her mother's few belongings and took them away, showing a resolute attitude of never returning.
As she expected, the person who came was not Nuonuo, but Lu Mingfei, whom she had met once in the mountain city.
This was only a brief encounter, and it was from the back. When Lu Mingfei and the others left the research ship, I saw him from afar.
At that time, she also saw Eri, and knew that the back of the head of the Uesugi family, one of the eight Snake families, looked exactly like Nono.
Seeing those four idiots kneeling down as soon as they met, and the other bodyguards were killed the moment they showed up, Mrs. Chen took out her cell phone and wanted to call her husband for support, but the phone she had just bought was frozen and there was no response no matter how she pressed it.
Not only mobile phones, but also the landline and computer in the study... all devices that require electricity or signals have failed.
She had an ominous premonition and tried to open the secret door of the study. She almost broke the mechanism, but the secret door did not move at all.
Could it be that the manor's security system has been completely hacked and paralyzed?
This thought flashed through her mind. After all, there were three power supply systems inside the manor, one for the children's daily life training, one for security measures, and one for the safe house.
And now, the thing that is most likely to go wrong has gone wrong, and the thing that is least likely to go wrong has also gone wrong.
What her husband said was right. Lu Mingfei did have ideas about the Chen family, but he did not go straight to the main house as expected. Instead, he chose to start with this manor.
Fortunately, there was a secret alarm system between the manor and the main residence. If there was a complete loss of communication here, the main residence would immediately notice and report it.
At this moment, the husband must have known that someone had invaded the manor, and he might have already sent people for support.
No matter what Lu Mingfei did, the most urgent thing was to hide the key first, as it was one of the Chen family's most important assets.
Moreover, as long as he has the key, he can still enter the safe house with the help of his words even if the system is paralyzed.
Her mind raced as she rushed out of the study and ran quickly to the baby room which was specially prepared for the key.
And just as she pushed open the door of the baby's room, Key, who was lying in the crib and playing games with the maid, suddenly frowned, pouted, and burst into tears.
The cry was extremely loud and penetrating.
When the maid saw her mistress rush in with a grim expression, she was about to ask if there was anything important, but she was left at a loss by the sudden wailing of the young master. She subconsciously wanted to reach out and pick him up to comfort him.
However, Mrs. Chen was quicker and picked up the crying Key first. Without saying a word, she rushed out the door with him.
The maid froze in her place, only to hear the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground in the corridor, which quickly faded away. It seemed to be mixed with the mistress's low, anxious scolding:
"Still crying, here comes the arrest!"
The maid was feeling confused and uncertain when she suddenly noticed something unusual: the lights in the corridor were off and the air conditioner seemed to have stopped.
Combined with the incoherent scolding she just heard, the maid suddenly panicked. Someone was invading!
Moreover, he dared to break into a private house in broad daylight, and broke into the Chen family's house. He is no longer an ordinary bandit, he must be a fierce dragon crossing the river.
Alone in the baby room that suddenly became dark and empty, she became more and more flustered the more she thought about it.
After a brief hesitation, she chased a few steps in the direction where the mistress and the young master left, and then suddenly realized that the safest thing to do at this moment was to stay as far away from the mother and son as possible!
So she turned around decisively and ran towards the nanny's room.
Just as she was about to reunite with her little sisters, the door of the nanny's room was locked tightly from the inside, and no one answered no matter how she knocked.
Just as I was getting angry about the plastic colleague incident, I suddenly heard two clear footsteps, accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground. It sounded like someone fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
She panicked and turned around to run away, but the high heels on her feet made an inopportune tapping sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent corridor.
She hurriedly kicked off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the cold floor. But at this moment, the footsteps were clearly coming from behind.
She paused as she lifted her skirt and prepared to run away. Her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and the white gauze fabric became translucent and stuck to her skin.
Hearing the footsteps approaching slowly, she didn't even have the courage to look back.
She knew the rules, as they were all shown on TV. If she hadn't seen the robber's face, she could still survive, but if she saw his true face, it meant she had no intention of leaving him alive.
So she decisively shrank behind a large vase half a person's height in the corridor, buried her head deeply in her knees like an ostrich, and hugged herself tightly with her arms, posing an absolute defensive posture of "You can't see me, and I can't see you", completely cowardly.
After assuming this self-deceiving posture, she keenly noticed that the footsteps behind her paused slightly, as if they were a little... curious about her strange behavior?
Just as her heart was pounding and she thought she was going to die, a gentle young man's voice sounded softly, with a hint of ridicule:
"Look how scared you are, they're crouching down in defense with their heads covered."
Then, a clear and ethereal voice like a mountain stream dripping into a deep pool sounded, and with a hint of dissatisfaction, it retorted: "No, it's obviously you."
How come these two dragons who crossed the river are still a couple, and they are flirting with each other?
And he sounds very young.
The maid was puzzled, but she also prayed that the two men would continue to be so unprofessional and just walk away without caring about her, a little invisible maid.
Perhaps the prayer worked, the footsteps sounded again and gradually faded away.
Guessing that the person had gone far away, she dared to raise her head slightly and peek out from the gap between her arm and head.
The person had indeed left, and the corridor was empty, with only a wisp of flaming red hair flashing around the corner.
Um?
This hair color...
Could it be Miss Nono?
There was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in the maid's eyes. Although her voice changed a little, her red hair was too obvious. Among the dozens of young masters and young ladies in the entire manor, there was no one else with this hair color.
Even if there were young masters and young ladies who wanted to follow the trend and dye their hair this color in the past, they dyed their hair back because they couldn't please the master and he disliked them.
Isn’t Miss Nuonuo studying abroad? Why did she come back suddenly?
Could it be that he was planning to learn the art of slaying dragons at Eighteen, and then return home to clean up his family?
Thinking of all the cold treatment and targeting that the hot-tempered and rebellious young lady had suffered in the manor, the maid silently buried her head again, and felt that the manor would be flooded with blood today.
…
Fast forward a bit in time, and Mrs. Chen returned to the study with the key. On the way, she tried very hard but failed to stop the little ancestor from listening to the evil sound. It was not until he stepped into the relatively familiar and closed environment of the study again that the heart-wrenching wails finally subsided and turned into sobs of grievance.
"Be good, baby, be obedient." She lowered her voice to a very gentle tone, almost dripping with water. She raised the key and faced the alloy security door behind the bookcase.
"Help mom open this door, okay? There are bad guys outside, it's very dangerous."
As if sensing the approaching danger she mentioned, Key's face, which had been as grumpy as a baby, suddenly stopped expressing any emotion. Deep in his big eyes, which were still filled with tears, majestic and brilliant gold surged out like lava, instantly swallowing up all the childishness.
The little baby lit up his golden eyes, and an invisible field spread out. He stretched out his tender little hand, as white as a lotus root, and spread out his slender five fingers towards the front.
As his small body shook slightly, enormous power surged out from his hands.
"boom--"
From inside the heavy alloy security door came a series of dull noises as complex mechanisms were forcibly driven, and then with a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction, it burst open!
A look of relief flashed across Mrs. Chen's eyes. Without hesitation, she slipped in with the key in her hand.
Almost the moment she entered, the heavy alloy door closed quickly and heavily under the action of the automatic closing system, completely isolating all external sounds and dangers.
"Click." A reassuring sound of a deadlock was heard.
It was not until this moment that Mrs. Chen's tense nerves relaxed slightly and she let out a long sigh.
The emergency light in the safe house seemed to be malfunctioning. It could rely on batteries to light up even when there was a power outage, but at this moment it could not emit any light at all, and the room was pitch black.
"The key is great." She kissed the baby's sweaty forehead with lingering fear, and subconsciously touched his head as a reward.
However, it was too early to relax.
Almost at the moment she finished speaking, the key to great merit in her arms seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Her extraordinarily majestic golden eyes went out in an instant, and her small body trembled slightly. The dissatisfaction and discomfort that had been forcibly suppressed just now surged back like a rebound.
In addition, the environment is dark at this moment...
"Wow--!!!"
Louder and more aggrieved wails suddenly broke out, sounding particularly harsh in this enclosed metal space.
Mrs. Chen's scalp tingled from the noise, and she frantically tried to comfort him, "Don't cry! Little Ancestor! Please stop crying! What if you attract the enemy again?!"
At the same time, outside the study, Lu Mingfei, holding Eri's hand, strolled leisurely as if they were strolling in their own back garden.
All the defensive measures inside the Chen family manor were useless to him. Mrs. Chen wanted to hide with the key, but she could not escape his perception at all.
Pushing the door open, Lu Mingfei stopped in front of a mahogany bookcase that almost reached the ceiling. He glanced at the hardcover and gold-embossed books, and curled the corners of his mouth.
These were bought just for show and have never been opened since they were unsealed. In his previous life, he and Uncle Chu also had many of these on their desks, but they had never been opened to look at.
He stretched out his free hand and casually placed it on the edge of the bookcase. It was not seen how much strength he exerted, but the extremely heavy bookcase with an automatic reset mechanism was like being grabbed by an invisible giant hand.
With a teeth-grinding creaking sound, it was forcibly torn away from the wall, brutally exposing the extremely thick alloy security door.
"Tsk, this thing again." Lu Mingfei curled the corners of his mouth and raised his hand to knock politely three times on the alloy door panel.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The crisp knocking sounds echoed in the silent study and were also clearly transmitted into the dead silent safe house behind the door, where no sound from the outside world should have been heard.
Yaoshi's crying stopped abruptly and Mrs. Chen covered her mouth.
The latter looked horrified, not understanding how he had been exposed so quickly.
The next second, a voice with a gentle smile penetrated the door and clearly reached the ears of the two people in the room:
"Fellow villagers, open the door and send warmth to the community."
I don't believe you at all, you are such a bad boy!
Mrs. Chen bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Yaoshi, whose mouth and nose were covered, was already crying so hard that he was short of breath. His little face was flushed red, and his big eyes were filled with tears of fear. His little hands weakly grabbed Mrs. Chen's wrist that was covering his mouth, and his eyes gradually became lifeless.
Outside the door, Lu Mingfei waited for a few seconds, but didn't hear any response, and seemed a little disappointed.
"You won't open the door..." He sighed, "Well, it seems I have to come in by myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out a finger and gently tapped the junction of the indestructible alloy door panel and the wall.
There was no earth-shattering roar, no burst of brilliant words, only a pure and extreme violence that made one's scalp tingle!
Under his fingertips, the thick special alloy began to twist and deform like wax melted by high temperature. The sturdy track below that supported the sliding giant door groaned under the heavy weight and was instantly twisted into a knot by an incomprehensible brute force!
Immediately afterwards, the entire incredibly heavy security door, along with the twisted metal frame around it, was pushed by an invisible and powerful force, and suddenly dented to one side!
“Crack—Boom!!”
The mechanical blocking device, which is used to deadlock in an emergency and is strong enough to withstand explosions, was broken off from the inside of the wall just like the taste of the sea water!
Amidst the flying dust, the security door, along with part of the twisted metal wall, was roughly pushed open to create a gap large enough for someone to pass through.
Light shines into the safe house from the gap, and the entire huge safe house is visible. The decoration is like a high-end lounge, with everything you need.
Mrs. Chen, holding the key, almost suffocating and with tears on her face, huddled in the deepest corner of the room, her face as pale as paper, her eyes filled with indescribable horror as she looked at the door.
Lu Mingfei leaned forward slightly, put his face close to the gap, smiled kindly, looked at the two people, one big and one small, trembling in the corner, and said hello:
“Here’s Johnny!”
Seeing the sudden smile, Key, who was already weak from fear and exhaustion, and whose stepmother covered his mouth tightly, was on the verge of suffocation and fainting. When he saw the evil smile that looked like it was ready to devour someone, he finally couldn't help it, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Little Laozi, but so sad.
