Chapter 890: Instinctive Reaction

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao climbed thirty floors and finally went to the top floor. Once she walked into the hallway, a strong energy came straight at her face and suppressed her.

She hurriedly focused her mind and restrained her vibe. Thankfully, her body was still strong. She spent a short while standing by the edge of the energy stream and adapted to it, soon finding it less intense than before.

Step by step, she moved toward the flat.

All the door and windows had been burst open by Wu Chengyue’s energy. Lin Qiao held the wall and approached the door inch by inch.

She paused briefly with surprise when she saw Wu Chengyue squatting on the ground, holding Wu Yueling. She figured that Wu Yueling was the reason why Wu Chengyue had been trying so hard to restrain his energy. He instinctively tried to protect his daughter. Even if he had lost his mind, he still tried his best to avoid hurting his daughter.

Wu Yueling had her eyes closed. Lin Qiao didn’t know how she was doing at the moment. Thankfully, her vibe still existed, meaning that she was still alive.

Lin Qiao vigilantly stood by the door. She was pretty close to Wu Chengyue, yet the energy in the flat didn’t cause her any harm. It was only stopping her from entering the flat.

She didn’t know how to save Wu Yueling from her father, who had lost control of himself. If he went totally crazy, he might do something bad.

It turned out that the result of the test that Leng Xuantong and Lin Hao did earlier wasn’t accurate enough. The result showed that there was a risk for all superpowered people, and it happened very fast.

Wu Chengyue did the blood test, and the result showed that he was safe.

Perhaps, all superpowered people would have to be kept away from children. After all, any of them could lose control at any moment.

Wu Chengyue slowly raised his head and looked at the door. He seemed to have sensed Lin Qiao’s presence. Lin Qiao looked at his eyes. The white parts around his pupils were deep red; the closer to the eye corners, the lighter the redness was.

His eyes were cold, showing no feeling. He looked at Lin Qiao as if she was a stranger.

Lin Qiao detected the instinctive vigilance in his eyes. He was trying to protect his daughter.

She looked at him with surprise. He had lost his mind, yet he still wanted to protect his daughter.

Xiao Licheng heard about what happened and returned to the flat. Once near, he saw the damaged building. The whole building was quiet, with one corner broken and smoking. Clearly, it had just suffered a heavy strike.

A series of muffled thunder was heard from the clouds in the sky.

Xiao Licheng knew that something bad was happening, and instantly rushed into the building.

“You can’t go in now. Ling Ling is with Wu Chengyue. You might stimulate him and make him overreact,” Yun Meng suddenly showed up and stopped Xiao Licheng.

“Ling Ling is up there?” Xiao Licheng gave a start and popped his eyes. He was anxious, but didn’t dare to get into the building. His vibe might really stimulate his crazy Chief.

On the top floor, Lin Qiao didn’t dare to move after Wu Chengyue turned to her. The energy was running rampant in the flat. All the furniture pieces had been shredded, and the entire flat was wasted.

Seeing that Wu Chengyue was protecting Ling Ling instinctively, Lin Qiao was first surprised, then a little relieved. But then, she started thinking about what to do next. Wu Chengyue didn’t seem to be willing to let Ling Ling go.

As Lin Qiao was thinking, Wu Chengyue suddenly moved. He stood up with Ling Ling carried in his arms. Thankfully, he held the little girl exactly as he used to and not in a random way.

He looked at Lin Qiao without any expression and with cold eyes. Suddenly, he slightly raised his head and sniffed toward Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao looked at him carefully. The eyes of the other crazy superpowered people were always filled with madness, but why were his eyes so cold? Under his gaze, even Lin Qiao sensed a coldness coming straight down her spine.

The people by the stars moved slightly. Lin Qiao hurriedly put a hand behind her body to signal for them not to move. Duan Juan instantly raised a hand to tell the people behind her to fall back, then moved back to the corner of walls.

Lin Qiao looked at Wu Yueling. The little girl was lying softly in Wu Chengyue’s arms with her eyes closed. Her long hair fluttered in the air.

Wu Chengyue was less than three meters away from Lin Qiao, but she couldn’t read his mind or tell anything from his eyes. She thought for a moment, then tried to talk to him, “You don’t want to hurt Ling Ling, do you?”

Her voice was bland, even gentle.

Perhaps, Wu Chengyue still had a trace of sanity remained, or he wouldn’t suppress his energy like he was doing.

As she expected, Wu Chengyue blinked on hearing what she said, then looked at her with confusion.

It worked!

Lin Qiao delightedly continued with, “Put Ling Ling down. You’ll hurt her if you refuse to let her go.”

Once she said that, Wu Chengyue had vigilance in his eyes. He looked at Lin Qiao with distrust, as if she was a fraud.

Lin Qiao felt a little helpless.

In order to save Ling Ling from her father who was now basically a human bomb, she had no choice but to be a fraud.

“Put her down, then I’ll go with you. I won’t hurt her, don’t worry. If you don’t leave now, you’ll be the one to hurt her. Do you want Ling Ling to die?” Lin Qiao looked at him in the eyes and raised her voice a little while saying the last sentence.

Wu Chengyue seemed to be struggling. Clearly, he understood Lin Qiao’s words, but couldn’t control himself.

Lin Qiao didn’t give up. “Put her down if you don’t want to hurt her,” she said.

Wu Chengyue struggled even harder than before. However, he slightly relaxed his grip on the little girl.

Lin Qiao’s eyes glowed. She repeated her words, “Put her down if you don’t want to hurt her.”

Finally, Wu Chengyue turned his eyes away from Lin Qiao and dropped his head to give Ling Ling a glance, then looked at Lin Qiao again. It seemed that he wanted Lin Qiao to give him a promise.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Put her down, or you’ll regret it.”

Wu Chengyue bent over slowly with his eyes fixed on Lin Qiao. After making sure that she wouldn’t come in, he slowly put the little girl on the ground.

Lin Qiao sighed with relief.

Right at that moment, Wu Chengyue suddenly flashed across the air and showed up before Lin Qiao, bringing to her an overwhelming energy wave.

Lin Qiao instinctively grew alarmed. She reacted super fast and made a step backward. But still, she was not fast enough. An aggressive force locked her neck, squeezing her throat.
