"The things in the house have been almost packed up, which means the other party has been preparing to escape for a long time."
"The accommodation was checked out this afternoon, which means the other party should have only been gone for two or three hours and had not yet had time to leave the Diana area."
If it were anyone else, they would probably be helpless and could only wait for the results of the Duville family's investigation.
But Gu Ran was different. He had just observed that there were many surveillance devices near where Zhang Yinghuo lived. As long as he could retrieve the corresponding surveillance videos, he would be able to find out where Zhang Yinghuo had gone.
"The Duville family is in charge of the department that manages the surveillance equipment."
Information introducing the various functional departments of Saint Joel City quickly appeared in Gu Ran's mind, and then he teleported away.
... ...
Because being in charge of the surveillance equipment is just a not very important job. After all, there are usually no serious illegal and criminal activities in the core area of the Duville family, so the employees inside are just ordinary people.
After being threatened by Gu Ran, these employees who were used to slacking off immediately burst into the highest work efficiency in their lives and helped Gu Ran find where Zhang Yinghuo was.
"To the east... fled to the core area of the Lasambo family... Could this incident be related to the Lasambo family?"
Gu Ran felt the difficulty and seriousness of the matter.
The Lasambo family is one of the top families in St. Joel City. Unlike other families, the Lasambo family is a relatively neutral family and does not like to form cliques.
But if anyone dares to underestimate this family, he will definitely pay a heavy price, because this family can be said to represent the most powerful military force in the city of Saint Joel.
"If it is really the Lasambo family, why do they need so many children with special abilities? Could it be that..."
Various rumors about the Lasambo family came to Gu Ran's mind.
... ...
Outside the light screen.
"Oh, it turns out to be the Lasambo family. That's bad."
Apparently some of these strong men knew something about this family, so they explained it to others.
"Saint Covenant City is different from other major cities. It is ruled by several top families in turn. This has caused the power of Saint Covenant City to be dispersed. Although each top family is the king of Saint Covenant City, they are far behind the top families in other major cities."
"In addition, their system is prone to internal strife, so the overall strength of Saint Joel City is weaker than most other main cities. The reason why it can still surpass a few main cities is because of the existence of the Lasambo family."
"The Lasambo family's supernatural powers are very strange. It is said that no matter whether they are blood relatives such as parents and children, as long as they are from the same clan and have the same bloodline and are recognized, they can perfectly inherit the supernatural crystal core of their ancestors."
When it comes to inheritance of supernatural crystal cores, the closer the bloodlines, the higher the success rate of inheritance. The closest relationships are between biological parents and children, brothers and sisters.
If the supernatural crystal core can be perfectly passed down after several generations, it is indeed a very rare ability.
The younger generations who inherit the supernatural crystal core can practice faster and more easily reach the strength of their ancestors.
Of course, it will be difficult to exceed that, and there may even be some restrictions.
This is not a good thing for some geniuses who pursue the limit, but for some families, it is a very coveted ability.
"The Lasambo family actually has such a method. Don't other top families covet it?" someone asked curiously.
"Of course there are other top families coveting it, but when other top families learned the inside story, they all gave up the idea of robbing it, because this method can only be used by the Lasambo family."
"Why?" The others were all whetted.
46. Get the clue
"This is because the Lasambo family's abilities are very special... They are a vampire family," said the strong man.
Vampire family
The crowd was indeed a little surprised, as many of them did not know this information.
Because Saint Joel City itself is not a city with a high presence among the 19 main cities, and the Lasambo family deliberately keeps a low profile, even strong people who have reached their status know very little about it.
"Vampires? No wonder other families can't use this method. If a vampire family really took action, then these children with special abilities would most likely be in great danger."
"But it seems that they captured children with special abilities, so Lady Gu Qingqing, who had not yet awakened her special abilities, might have been able to escape."
"Isn't that nonsense? Lady Gu Qingqing is fine now, which means that the Lasambo family did not kill her at that time, or she was rescued before they killed her."
"But now... the Lasambo family seems to no longer exist, right? And now Saint Joel City itself is at the bottom of the list of major cities. It is said that a huge turmoil occurred there that year, and many powerful people died."
Suddenly, a strong man from Suzaku City said, "I remember it. It seems that it was this year that Lord Leng Feng went to Saint Covenant City and brought back a little girl. He took her as his only student."
"This year is the year when a major turmoil occurred in Saint Joel City as you said."
Gu Qingqing's eyes, which had been dull at first, suddenly moved.
Yes, it was in this year that she was brought back to Suzaku City by her teacher and became the teacher's student.
And this time, it must be the time when the teacher, my brother and I met.
"I asked the teacher, and she said that the reason she went to Saint Joel was actually for the Lasambo family. It seems that the teacher has some grudge against the Lasambo family."
Hearing Gu Qingqing's words, everyone was stunned, and then they seemed to understand.
"Oh, in this case, it should be that Master Leng Feng happened to rescue Master Gu Qingqing when he went to the Lasambo family."
"So the turmoil in Saint Covenant City that year was actually caused by the conflict between Lord Leng Feng and the Lasambo family? Yes, perhaps only Lord Leng Feng's strength could defeat so many powerful people in Saint Covenant City, causing the foundation of Saint Covenant City's strength to decline."
Because the strength of Saint Covenant City has greatly declined and has not recovered yet, there are no strong men from Saint Covenant City even in their coalition army. Therefore, many news are unknown to the people present, or they only know a little bit.
Gu Qingqing looked at the light screen expectantly.
Teacher, are you here to save me
... ...
Although he knew that the force behind the scenes was most likely the Lasambo family, Gu Ran was not afraid at all.
He was only worried about his sister's safety. The Lasambo family was known as a vampire family, so naturally they had an extraordinary desire for blood.
And their purpose of secretly kidnapping so many children with special abilities became clear.
"There is no time to delay."
Gu Ran was extremely anxious, and at the same time, murderous intent was rising in his heart.
Zhang Yinghuo's escape route emerged in his mind. Gu Ran teleported several times and arrived at the station, narrowing the scope of the search.
"It's him!"
Although Zhang Yinghuo had disguised himself as a woman, Gu Ran still recognized him at first sight.
Gu Ran walked out of the portal indifferently and grabbed Zhang Yinghuo's shoulder.
Zhang Yinghuo's body trembled, and without even turning his head, he immediately turned over and fired a shot.
Someone caught up with us so quickly
Zhang Yinghuo was shocked.
But then he felt a pain in the wrist holding the gun.
With a snap, the hand holding the pistol fell to the ground along with the pistol.
"Ah! My hand!"
Zhang Yinghuo looked at his wrist without a hand in horror, his face twisted in pain, and the wig he wore to dress up as a woman fell off.
Gu Ran interrogated Zhang Yinghuo without paying any attention to the people around him: "I ask, you answer. If you dare to hide anything, the pain you will suffer will be ten times greater than it is now. The same will be true if you hesitate or deceive for a moment."
"Are you Zhang Yinghuo?"
This was a very simple question, but Zhang Yinghuo did not answer immediately. It was not known whether it was because of the pain, his slow reaction, or because he had not thought it through.
However, he hesitated.
"Very good, you have guts." Gu Ran slashed downward through space and neatly cut off Zhang Yinghuo's five toes.
"Let me ask again, are you Zhang Yinghuo?" Gu Ran asked coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm Zhang Yinghuo! Please let me go, I'm bleeding a lot, I'm going to die!" Originally, Zhang Yinghuo used his right hand to cover his left wrist which had lost its palm, but his toes were cut off, so he could no longer cover it to stop the bleeding.
Gu Ran ignored his wailing: "Did the principal ask you to repair the school's surveillance equipment yesterday?"
"Yes! The principal asked me to repair the surveillance device yesterday." This time, Zhang Yinghuo did not dare to hesitate at all.
"So, you were the one who broke the school's surveillance device?"
Zhang Yinghuo couldn't help but hesitate again.
"Very good—" Gu Ran seemed to be praising, but his face was cold.
"No, no, no, I said, I broke it!" Zhang Ying was anxious.
Gu Ran cut off five toes from Zhang Yinghuo's other foot, and then said coldly: "Say it earlier next time."
Perhaps because he had been cut twice and had become accustomed to the pain, Zhang Yinghuo did not feel the severe pain of the previous two times. However, he was even more frightened in his heart.
This young man is a real ruthless person.
"Did the Lathambo family instruct you to do this?"
"Yes, ah no, no, it's not the Lasambo family." Zhang Yinghuo subconsciously said the correct answer in his mind out of fear, but after realizing what he said, a greater fear came over him, and he wanted to change his words immediately.
This was actually the reason why Gu Ran did that before. The questions went from simple to difficult, from unimportant to very important, and at the same time, trained Zhang Yinghuo's instinctive reaction to answer immediately, so that he could get the answer as quickly as possible.
"One last question, where are those students now?"
"You have betrayed the Lasambo family. Do you think they will let you go? Or do you think I will let you go?"
