Chapter 234: Return to the Restaurant
For a long time, there was no movement in the pit.
"Walk!"
Ye Lan found the right opportunity, grabbed Bai Taotao, and fired a shot from the hook gun in his hand, and the two of them successfully climbed out of the pit.
Without stopping at all, the two ran wildly for a long time before finally stopping. After unlocking the psychological invisibility of the crystal ball, I found a remote corner and sat down in a drink shop.
Bai Taotao was still confused, so much so that she stared blankly at Ye Lan.
"What the hell...is going on!"
Ye Lan took a sip of the cold juice and waited for the waiter to completely walk away before answering.

"It's very simple. It once again proves that I was right in not letting you show up."
Bai Taotao was even more puzzled: "Why?"
"Your father wants to recover this thing and try to find out who stole it." Ye Lan explained and sorted out: "But your eldest brother wants this thing, and your second brother supports your eldest brother. You guys The Bai family has actually been divided into two factions. "
Bai Taotao opened her mouth in surprise.
"Why...why? And...what does it have to do with me! Why can't I show up!"
Yelan touched the reagent she had put in her inner pocket through her clothes and murmured:
"That depends on...what exactly is this..."
"That's not right." Bai Taotao felt aggrieved. She just didn't know what she had done wrong: "According to your speculation, even if I showed up just now, my second brother would protect me, right?"
"If, as you said, the eldest brother is fighting against his father, the second brother's behavior just now is clearly to support the eldest brother. Naturally, he will not hurt me."
Ye Lan took a deep look at Bai Taotao.
"First of all, how do you explain your presence there?"
"Secondly, if you show up, your second brother's subordinate will really have to die."
"The most important thing is, is he as meticulous in his actions as your elder brother? Can he hide it from everyone else, quietly bring you back to the upper city, and then quietly join your brother?"
Ye Lan shook his head.
"Your second brother is still too rough in his work. His handling just now can be said to be full of flaws. The general direction is correct, but the details are difficult to deal with. If Glory City sends people to investigate carefully, he will not be able to protect himself. There may even be dangers from this fire. It might burn directly to your elder brother."
Worry appeared on Bai Taotao's face.
After regaining her breath, Yelan couldn't help but speak again.
"You three are the only direct bloodlines in your family?"
Bai Taotao was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why Ye Lan asked this, but she nodded anyway.
"yes."
Taking another sip of the drink, Ye Lan shook his head:
"Don't worry about them, just worry about yourself. No matter what happens, no matter how ambitious you are, your father will not sit back and watch something happen to all three of you. At least one of you must be left behind."
Ye Lan showed a touch of emotion, as if he had returned to ancient times even before the end of the world.
"Otherwise, for a family, no matter how much it gets, it will be meaningless without inheritance."
"Leaving at least one also means that you can leave only one when necessary."
Bai Taotao felt shuddering.
She really didn't dare to think about that scene, and she didn't know why she came to that scene.
She just... really wanted to go back to the carefree life she once had.
"What now?"
Ye Lan glanced at the time, thought for a moment and gave the answer.
"It's getting dark, let's get everything done first. I suspect that the Glory City Unnatural Phenomena Detective Association has already been under surveillance in Glory City. It's best not to go in and out there frequently."
Ye Lan looked in the direction of Youjian Restaurant:
"As soon as it gets dark, we will immediately go to the ruins of Youjian Restaurant to investigate the truth of last night and find out the actions of the two teams. Then we will see what kind of clues the detective can give that can satisfy my appetite!"
…
At night, at nine o'clock, Glory City was still ablaze with lights, extremely brilliant.
Thinking of the dark night in Sewage Town, Ye Lan felt a little uncomfortable. It's the same end of the world, but the difference is so huge.
I don’t know what the new sewage town will look like in the future, but if possible, Yelan hopes it can be as prosperous as here.
In this bright scene, there is a small area that is out of place, which is Xu Lezhang's restaurant. This place is in ruins, and there is no longer any light. The huge area it covers creates a huge vacuum between the bright lights.
The only light was the long, heavily armed blockade, the flashlights and headband searchlights of the Gene Enhancers of Glory City.
Finally, it's no longer the Bai family, but the manpower of the City Lord's Mansion in Xiacheng District, blocking this place.
After turning on the psychological invisibility of the crystal ball, Yelan and Bai Taotao returned to the courtyard of Youjian Restaurant without any effort.
It had completely collapsed into ruins, and the swimming pool was cracked everywhere and completely dry. There are still a few pitiful outlines of the former building, which are probably standing like pillars. You can even see a few isolated doors stuck on a few barely surviving bases upstairs. I can only say that it is bulletproof. He didn't repair the door in vain.
"Bitch Xu is so distressed..." Looking at the miserable ruins, Bai Taotao felt a sense of pain.
It was hard for Ye Lan not to feel involved. Just imagine that scene, Xu Lezhang's screams almost floated in his ears.
'Ahhhhhh! My restaurant! '
Looking up, Ye Lan was relieved.
Fortunately, there were still a few broken walls standing, otherwise even if he used the Mind Cat's replay, when the scene was completely restored, Ye Lan would not be able to see the scene upstairs without a leverage point!
Looking at the soldiers on the blockade, Ye Lan frowned.
They are also a group of big troubles. With them around, he would never dare to use abnormal power to explore directly.
For a while, Ye Lan sent a telepathic voice to Eternal Nightmare.
"Nightmare, how much power can you exert now?"
His mind was quiet for a while, and Eternal Nightmare probably remembered that he couldn't pretend to sleep. It seemed that he had exposed himself last time.
"I... have no power. Unless you use your power to use me."
Ye Lan frowned and nodded.
"Okay."
Without waiting for Eternal Nightmare to respond, Ye Lan reached out and grabbed an emerald gecko from the void.
The gecko had a look of giving up, allowing Ye Lan's power to flow in and then dissipate.
The gray fog spread.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
Almost at the same time, all the guards fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Now we need to seize every second. If someone changes guards during this period, it will be troublesome.
For a moment, the cat of the mind jumped out.
"Is it finally my turn to take action again, meow!"
Ye Lan nodded:
"Looking back, last night."
"Range, the whole building!"
