This was already inside the residential complex where he rented a house, and it was not even far from the residential building where he and Luo Hongyun lived.
Will I be attacked in a place like this
Xia Xu had never thought about it before.
This place has always been like a safe base for him. Luo Hongyun basically stays at home with his daughter unless it is necessary, and he has hardly gone out recently.
With the presence of this military king, anyone who dared to ambush or commit crimes here would have probably been beaten with a fractured skull.
But the fact now is that someone did attack him here.
And Uncle Luo never showed up!
This can only mean that something is seriously wrong!
Either the same group of people from last time came back and lured Luo Hongyun out, or Luo Hongyun was also attacked unexpectedly.
"The people who attacked me are most likely the ones in the plot of "Night Owl"..."
Xia Xu forced himself to remain calm.
There are only a few possibilities for him to be involved in such an attack, either the plot of "Hunter" or the ongoing "Night Owl" with Uncle Luo as the protagonist.
"Super Brain" is also slightly possible. His behavior of asking Grant to investigate Catherine may also cause a chain reaction, but the probability is very low, and even if it does happen, it shouldn't come so quickly.
If it was the group of people in the plot of "Night Owl" who made a comeback, they would definitely be well prepared this time, and there would definitely not be only one person who attacked him with a flying knife. This was one of the reasons why he guessed that there must be others.
"Uncle Luo said last time that they had taken down their base in Xingcheng. Does that mean this was revenge by the person behind the scenes? Where is Uncle Luo... Not here, or..."
Xia Xu turned his head and looked at the residential building not far away.
"Woof."
In the split second he was thinking, Atuo had already jumped down from the balcony again, quickly came to his side, and looked around vigilantly.
There was no more sound coming from the second-floor balcony.
Maybe Atuo understood what he said.
"Walk."
After waiting for two seconds, no one showed up and Atuo did not react. Xia Xu carefully went around from behind the residential building and walked towards his and Luo Hongyun's house.
Must go back and see.
If Luo Hongyun is at home and fine, then being with him is the safest place.
If something happened, he also hoped to provide some support within his ability, and Louise was probably at home at this moment, and he didn't know what was going on now.
If the original plot of "Night Owl" was followed, nothing would happen to the protagonist Luo Hongyun, but now with a little butterfly flapping its wings like him, everything is not so certain.
He knew very well how Uncle Luo treated him. Although he was cautious and valued his life, there were some things he could not ignore.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way and there were no attacks or people jumping out.
"This is… "
When Xia Xu arrived at Luo Hongyun's door, he felt his heart pounding with fear.
The scene before my eyes was indeed shocking.
Luo Hongyun's aluminum alloy security door was violently dismantled by something, and the upper half was dented and bent.
Walking in, the place was in ruins. The coffee table, sofa, table, TV, and all kinds of furniture were overturned and smashed. The floor was also covered with debris. It was clearly destroyed beyond recognition.
“Woof! Woof woof woof!”
Atuo, who was following Xia Xu closely, suddenly looked in the direction of the bathroom, then rushed directly into it, looking up and barking at the ceiling.
"Ato, what is that?"
Xia Xu paused, then walked over and stood beside Atuo.
After all, it is an old residential building, and this bathroom has been through a lot. It has both a squat toilet and a bathing room. There is some kind of ceiling made of board material above, and a "bathroom heater" is installed for lighting, ventilation and heating.
Regardless of his genetic training or intelligence, it is impossible for Atuo to bark for no reason, so there must be something wrong here.
Xia Xu looked and listened carefully, and sure enough, he vaguely heard a slight rustling sound, similar to the friction of cloth, and the checkered panels of the ceiling also seemed to have been disassembled.
"Louise, is that you?"
Xia Xu had some guesses and asked tentatively.
The structure of this type of ceiling-mounted bathroom heater will often create a large cavity, which is not enough to accommodate an adult, but it is still possible for a little girl to lie down in it.
Sure enough, after hearing Xia Xu's voice, the sparse sounds on the top became louder, and a square board was moved to create a gap.
"elder brother."
Louise poked out her little head, tears silently flowing on her delicate face, and her voice was filled with surprise and tears.
In normal times, Louise is very sensible, even very strong. She lives and trains with him and Luo Hongyun, two rough guys, and bumps and bruises are inevitable, but Xia Xu has never seen her cry.
But no matter how sensible she was, she was just a little girl of a few years old, and the current situation was obviously beyond her ability to bear.
"Don't be afraid, Louise, I'm here, you're safe, safe."
Xia Xu carefully picked her up with a distressed look in his eyes, rested her head on his shoulder, and patted her back gently to comfort her.
"Brother, I'm fine, can you go help my dad?"
After sobbing for a while, the little blonde raised her head. The tears that flowed again, coupled with the words she said at this moment, made people feel even more pity for her.
"Louise, can you tell me what happened first?"
When Xia Xu heard that Louise wanted to help Luo Hongyun herself, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He didn't bother to comfort her anymore and went straight to the point.
Louise said quickly: "A group of people attacked here, and my father found out in advance and hid me in the place just now, and then they started fighting..."
"And then? Didn't your father ever beat up the other side? There were so many of them?"
Xia Xu asked.
"My father told me to hide and not make any noise. I didn't dare to look, but I could hear the sound. It seemed like there was a very strong bad guy inside..."
Louise replied with a troubled look on her face.
"A powerful bad guy?"
Xia Xu suddenly understood something.
As a "plot", it is obviously unlikely that the protagonist of Night Owl will be invincible all the way, so it is definitely necessary to create ups and downs in the plot rhythm.
This means that there must be someone in the plot who can rival Uncle Luo.
And now it is obvious that this character, who should be considered the BOSS, has come to take revenge.
"Well, Louise, you can't stay here anymore. I'm going to take you to my house and hide you there. Then I'm going to call the police and support your father."
Xia Xu comforted him while going back to his house.
His house did not suffer any attacks. After hiding Louise inside, he also took out the 'long-treasured' Miao Dao stab-proof suit and other equipment and the compound bow left by Grant.
We must call the police, but how long it will take for them to respond is a question...
