Chapter 152
Xu Junhao has been a little distressed recently because more than three months have passed and his father has not joined him in New York.
Of course, he was not the only one who was troubled. Selina and Rita also missed Li Fei very much, especially Rita. She was very eager to go to the Dragon Kingdom to find Li Fei in person, but she was unanimously opposed by others.
The Dragon Kingdom is currently in a state of war. It is too dangerous to go to the Dragon Kingdom at this time.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaoyu is actively facing life abroad. She keeps learning foreign languages every day and wants to start a business again. She does not want to be a housewife and live a boring life with endless repetitions at home every day.
Lu Chaoyun and Zhang Zetian only stayed in New York for one day before embarking on the journey again, trying to find a way to save the country.
During this period, the relationship between Xu Junhao and Zhang Jiajia heated up rapidly, and Selina was quite satisfied with this future daughter-in-law. However, the two of them were still young, and the matter of marriage would have to be discussed in a few years.
On this day, Selena felt a little uncomfortable, so Xu Junhao accompanied her to the hospital for medical treatment.
The driver sat in front and drove the car seriously. Selina sat in the back seat, covering her stomach with her hands, looking uncomfortable.
Xu Junhao urged: "Hurry up, drive faster."
Selina held his hand and said, "It doesn't matter to me. It's just a small problem. It will be fine when you get to the hospital."
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver slammed on the brakes. Xu Junhao and Selina were not prepared, and their bodies collided forward together.
Xu Junhao was about to speak when he saw a car crossing the road in front of him, blocking the road. Then he heard a gunshot, and the driver sitting in the front seat had his head held directly, and blood sprayed out.
"Mom, get down quickly."
Xu Junhao grabbed his mother and pulled her to lie down in the car. Then gunshots were heard from several directions, and more than a dozen bullets passed through the car door and passed over his head.
After a while, the car was full of bullet holes, and the gunfire stopped. He took a deep breath, kicked the door open, jumped out of the car, and saw two gunmen in front.
Xu Junhao cursed secretly, drew out his long whip, and immediately threw it at the two of them.
The gunmen were still loading bullets, but they did not expect that the whip, which was not long at first, suddenly became longer when it flew out, and then wrapped around their necks.
Xu Junhao yelled and pulled them to the ground with a strong pull. At this moment, gunfire rang out again. He rolled to avoid it. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another gunman coming from behind the car and shooting at him.
.
There was a "bang" sound.
He was shot in the shoulder and couldn't help but scream. The gunman waved his hand and several other accomplices quickly surrounded him.
Xu Junhao had cold sweat on his forehead. He endured the severe pain, took out a talisman, threw it towards the opposite side, and used a spell to detonate it.
With a bang, the gunman who hit him was blown away, but several other gunmen pointed their guns at him.
"I hate foreign countries. There are too many guns here."
Xu Junhao complained in his heart. He didn't understand who wanted to kill their mother and son. He had only been in New York for a few months, and there was little chance of him becoming enemies with others. It was very likely that these gunmen came for his mother.
Just when he felt desperate, a gunman suddenly screamed, and the gunman's chest was instantly penetrated by a cyan arc, and his flesh and blood evaporated instantly under the strong voltage.
Immediately afterwards, a short-haired woman fell from the sky, waving a dagger in her hand, and quickly wiped the necks of the other two gunmen.
Xu Junhao couldn't help but widen his eyes. He saw an old man sitting on a flying carpet falling from the sky, and there was a blue-haired woman next to him. His hands were flashing with lightning. It was the blue-haired woman who had saved his life with an electric arc just now.
Although I don’t know who these three people are, at least they are not enemies.
He quickly returned to the car, looked at the pale Selina, and asked: "Mom, are you okay?"
Selina shook her head, and then she saw the blood on his shoulder, and tears immediately flowed down: "You have been shot. Hurry, go to the hospital."
The old man came over and said, "Son, we met when we were children, and I even hugged you."
Selina's memory was very good and she immediately remembered who the old man in front of her was. She immediately grabbed the old man's shoulders and said, "You are Mr. Thomas, please help my son. He was shot. Oh my God."
....."
"Don't be anxious, relax, don't be afraid, he will be fine." Thomas' gentle voice made Selina quiet down, and her hands immediately released.
Thomas looked at Xu Junhao and said: "You help your mother get on the flying carpet first, and I will take you to the nearest hospital here later."
Xu Junhao nodded and pulled Selina onto the flying carpet.
At this time, the short-haired woman had already controlled the two gunmen and dragged them over.
Thomas ordered: "Michelle, you will be responsible for interrogating these two people. Let's go, Feng Lan."
When Thomas controlled the flying carpet to fly into the sky, Xu Junhao asked: "Old sir, you said I met you when I was a child, but why do I have no memory at all?"
Feng Lan said from the side: "You couldn't speak at that time, so of course you have no impression."
Xu Junhao asked: "So do you know my father?"
"Of course." Thomas said with a smile, "Your father is an amazing man, he saved the world."
Xu Junhao whispered: "But he is gone now. He promised to come back. Alas, maybe he..."
Selina's eyes turned red, she held him in her arms and said softly: "Son, please stop talking, he will be fine."
Thomas smiled slightly and looked at the heartwarming scene between mother and son without saying anything more.
When they arrived at the hospital, after the doctor examined her, they found that Selina's problem was not serious, and they just prescribed a pair of anti-inflammatory drugs. Xu Junhao was shot in the shoulder, but it did not hurt any vital parts. The bullet was quickly removed in the operating room.
Not long after, Feng Lan rushed to the hospital ward. The gunman had already confessed that it was Vic, the owner of another pickle factory, who hired them and wanted to buy Selina's life because Selina's wages to the workers were too high.
That led to Vic's pickle factory workers wanting to improve their pay.
So I came up with the idea of killing Selina, leaving her pickle factory leaderless, and then taking the opportunity to annex it. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
After Xu Junhao heard this, he was so angry that he just wanted to rush to Vic's house and kill him with his own hands.
Thomas saw what he was thinking and immediately said: "Kid, there is no need to be angry with such a scumbag, he will pay the price."
Xu Junhao said bitterly: "But I want to solve this trouble with my own hands."
Thomas waved his hands and said with a smile: "If you have a kind heart, the road ahead will be smoother. Don't let anger overwhelm your mind. You can do better."
Selina said softly: "Mr. Thomas is right, they are not worth what you do."
Xu Junhao sighed, closed his eyes in frustration, and said in a low voice: "You guys go out first, I want to be quiet for a while."
Selina was worried about her son and insisted on staying in the ward, while Thomas and the other three walked out one after another.
Michelle looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He lowered his voice and said, "As you can see, this kid has no mercy at all. I think you should give it some thought to your decision to recruit a disciple."
Thomas shook his head and said slowly: "No one in this world is truly perfect. Besides, if we don't come today, then he will die under someone else's gun. His desire for revenge only shows that in his heart
Very angry, but you can’t say he’s not kind.”
Feng Lan asked: "So, have you made up your mind?"
Thomas laughed, the wrinkles on his face becoming more and more obvious, and said softly: "Yes, I have observed many young people, and he is very suitable to inherit my mantle. What's more, he also has a great father. All of the above,
I believe he can shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding the world."
Michelle looked a little confused. Rather than maintaining the grand plan of protecting the world, she was more willing to obey Thomas' instructions and do the right thing. To a certain extent, Thomas was her belief.
And Thomas has now transferred the responsibility of maintaining the world to others, which seems to indicate that Thomas will leave this world.
Feeling a sense of loss in her heart, Michelle looked at Thomas steadily, speechless for a while.
At this time, Xu Junhao didn't know that someone had already placed a huge burden on him. He was still getting over the psychological difficulty of hatred.
Time flies, and many years have passed.
1993, summer.
Longguo, Huojia Town.
In the past six months, there have been many cases of missing children in the town, causing families to be torn apart. Schools were forced to close because they could not guarantee the safety of their children.
Families with the conditions have moved one after another and left the town permanently, while those families who have lost their children can only live in sorrow every day, hoping that the police will find the murderer as soon as possible. There are still a large number of people who live in poverty and cannot afford to leave.
In a small town, one can only lock their children at home every day.
Even so, cases of missing children still occur every once in a while, casting a mysterious and terrifying shadow over the entire town.
In order to find the murderer, the police set up several surveillance teams in Huojia Town, and patrol teams patrolled the town day and night.
Xiao Li is an auxiliary police officer and works at the Huojia Town Police Station. If she can catch the murderer, then there will be no problem in being transferred to a full-time job.
She hadn't slept well for half a month. The murderer hadn't been caught yet, but she was suffering from insomnia. She had to force herself to sleep, otherwise her body would collapse first.
In the early morning, she was sitting in the police car, half asleep and still having nightmares.
"Bang bang bang"
Someone was knocking on the car window, Xiao Li exclaimed, opened her eyes, and found that the person knocking on the window was a man, and the man's daughter was also one of the missing children.
The man's face was full of excitement: "Xiao Li, wake up quickly, we have caught the murderer, arrest him quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li quickly got out of the car and followed the man to the willow tree in the east end of the town. The villagers surrounded the murderer and attacked him with weapons such as brooms.
