Chapter 184 - 181: Meng Hu Goes Missing Again

Chapter 184: Chapter 181: Meng Hu Goes Missing Again

Chen Xing glanced at Song Yiguo beside her.

Song Yiguo looked just as bewildered.

Xu Anguo was a low-profile person and rarely appeared at this kind of event.

And now he wanted to see Chen Xing?

Hao Dongbang made a welcoming gesture.

There wasn’t a trace of sadness on his or his wife’s face.

Chen Xing started to wonder if her information was wrong.

Otherwise, how could they have this attitude when their own daughter had died?

’Then again... since they were willing to let their own daughter be used as a lab rat in the Research Institute, their love for Hao Wenli must not have run very deep.’

’If Hao Wenli remembered her parents, the hatred in her eyes when she spoke of them would make perfect sense.’

Chen Xing wanted to see what kind of trick Xu Anguo had up his sleeve.

So, she started to follow Hao Dongbang.

But just as she passed Li Helili, she felt a force coming from behind her.

She dodged it almost before the force could even reach her.

"Seize Li Helili!" Song Yiguo’s roar echoed.

Li Helili was immediately apprehended by Superpower Users who suddenly appeared.

And she had a large sledgehammer in her hand.

Except the sledgehammer wasn’t being held; it extended directly from her body.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded.

Chen Xing dodged again, successfully evading Hao Dongbang’s attack, and countered by plunging a knife into his abdomen.

’Now *this* is more like it!’

Far from being afraid, Chen Xing looked at the two of them with an expression that said, ’Finally, this makes sense.’

But the pair didn’t look like they were acting on a grudge. They were more like robots, commanded by someone to kill.

Chen Xing’s brow furrowed.

’Hao Wenli’s parents aren’t attacking me for revenge. They’re following orders from above.’

She immediately turned to Lu Haoran. "Where is Xu Anguo?"

Everyone: "..." ’How could this girl be so brazen as to use Xu Tiancai’s given name? So rude!’

Lu Haoran froze for a moment before it dawned on him. "He had a fight with my dad just now and left the safe zone!"

Chen Xing: "..." ’So, Xu Anguo didn’t arrange for these two?’

The subdued Hao Dongbang and Li Helili seemed completely unafraid, their eyes still cold and detached.

Song Yiguo tried to take the pair into the custody of the Song Family Army, but Lu Haoran refused. "This happened in the Lu Family’s territory. The Lu Family will naturally give Chen Xing an explanation!"

Chen Xing scoffed internally.

’Aren’t these two from the Lu Family Research Institute to begin with?’

’What the hell are they going to find?!’

Lu Bingtian first apologized to everyone, then came over specifically to apologize to Song Yiguo. "This is all my fault for being careless. Yiguo, you weren’t frightened, were you?"

Song Yiguo was used to this kind of false sincerity. "I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Uncle Lu!" As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Xing.

As if he’d just made an incredible discovery, he looked back and forth between Chen Xing and Lu Bingtian.

"Was Miss Chen Xing frightened?" Lu Bingtian’s tone toward Chen Xing was neither warm nor cold.

Even for Song Yiguo’s sake, he couldn’t just ignore her.

"I’m fine!" Given her dislike for the Lu Family, Chen Xing naturally wasn’t going to be friendly.

Lu Bingtian didn’t seem to care about her attitude either.

Leaving the Lu Family’s banquet hall, Chen Xing walked side-by-side with Song Yiguo.

"Do you think you look a little like Lu Bingtian?" Song Yiguo hesitated for a long time before asking.

He was well aware of how much Chen Xing detested the Lu Family.

But the resemblance was really quite striking.

Chen Xing: "..."

She suddenly stopped and looked at Song Yiguo. "Don’t say such terrifying things!"

’If... what if I had even the slightest connection to the Lu Family?’

Just the thought was enough to give her goosebumps!

’Something like that could absolutely never happen!’

"Maybe I was mistaken?" Song Yiguo also found it incredible. "It’s just that your eyes are a bit similar!" ’Must be a coincidence, right?’

Chen Xing shot him a glare and ignored him, heading back toward her residence on her own.

She couldn’t see any resemblance between herself and Lu Bingtian.

All she knew was that she really, really disliked Lu Bingtian.

As she passed through the main hall connecting the two areas, Chen Xing suddenly stopped.

She felt like she was being watched.

But... she looked around and saw no one unusual.

Just then, she suddenly received a distress signal from Meng Hu.

Her heart sank. Forgetting about being watched, she broke into a run toward her residence.

She found the main door to Cao Guangrong’s house wide open and eerily quiet.

Chen Xing’s unease grew.

Inside, there was no sign of Meng Hu, and the living room was empty.

Li Chen, who was in her room, hadn’t heard any strange noises.

And Yu Heng in the next room was also bewildered. "I didn’t even hear the door open!"

was gone too!

Chen Xing was sure the person and the tiger had been taken together.

She couldn’t receive any more messages from Meng Hu, nor could she sense it.

Chen Xing’s anger flared up again.

Just as she was about to lose control, the memory of the leveled Agricultural Research Institute flashed through her mind, and she slowly reined herself in.

If she lost her temper here, she could easily destroy half the safe zone.

She immediately ran out, ignoring Li Chen’s shouts.

Li Chen was worried, but she didn’t dare wander around, so she could only go back inside the house.

Chen Xing, meanwhile, sprinted toward the residential area of the Four Great Families, but was stopped at the entrance. "Sorry, we can’t let anyone in without an order!"

Her only option was to call Song Yiguo.

But of all times, Song Yiguo’s phone was unreachable.

Fuming and frantic, Chen Xing had no choice but to call Lu Haoran. "I need to ask for your help..."

Lu Haoran was surprisingly agreeable. Without asking any questions, he came to find her.

While she waited, the feeling of being watched returned.

Chen Xing stomped her foot anxiously as she stared at the wealthy district.

Thankfully, Lu Haoran arrived quickly.

He had dropped what he was doing and rushed over.

Chen Xing didn’t bother with pleasantries and asked directly, "My tiger and a friend disappeared from inside the house. I was wondering if you could help me check the surveillance footage?"

Lu Haoran: "..." He had seen that tiger before. It was incredibly powerful.

"Alright!" Lu Haoran immediately took her to the monitoring room.

But... the footage of the empty hallway showed nothing except the open door of Cao Guangrong’s house.

Chen Xing’s heart tightened.

’It couldn’t be that some mysterious person with an invisibility superpower bundled up 00002 and Meng Hu and took them away, could it?’

She didn’t believe it!

’It’s true that invisibility is a superpower, but it’s rare.’

’And to turn invisible while carrying a tiger that big?’

’Absolutely impossible!’

Chen Xing left Lu Haoran behind and ran back to Cao Guangrong’s house.

There was nothing wrong with the surveillance system. The timestamp on the footage hadn’t been tampered with; it was perfectly accurate.

Could it be that her Meng Hu had disappeared from inside the room?

When she got back to the residence, Yu Heng was gone.

Only a nervous Li Chen remained in the house.

"I didn’t see Yu Heng go out!" Li Chen said. Because she was worried, she had been paying close attention to what was happening outside.

She hadn’t even closed her door all the way, leaving a crack to peek through.

Chen Xing understood.

She immediately opened the door to Yu Heng’s room.
