Chapter 307: Chapter 307: The Cub’s Superpower is Overdrawn
Lin Ranyue struggled desperately.
But her strength was not as great as that of the Mu family’s butler.
What’s more, Lin Ranyue could never have imagined that the other party would do such a thing!
Actually trying to shove some kind of object into her mouth!
The Mu family’s butler did not wish to resort to such forceful measures.
But the thought that once Lin Ranyue swallowed this object, she would obey the head of the household absolutely,
made him realize that even if Gu Lei became angry, he would be helpless to do anything about it!
Therefore, he decided to take the risk.
The mysterious object given by the man in black had been thoroughly checked by someone on behalf of the Mu family head.
The Mu family had always been keen on researching artifacts from Ancient Earth.
Thus, there were indeed people who recognized what was inside those two boxes.
It was a Poisonous Insect.
However, this Poisonous Insect was indeed not harmful to humans.
The only thing was that the owner of the larvae would follow the commands of the owner of the mother insect.
The head of the Mu family initially wanted Gu Lei to swallow this larva.
But firstly, Gu Lei was a Beastman with formidable combat power, and it seemed unlikely that he could be forced or persuaded to ingest the larva.
So, they set their sights on Lin Ranyue instead.
Lin Ranyue was merely a pure human.
Moreover, Gu Lei was away on a business trip and not at home.
It was also heard that Lin Ranyue’s daughter, who had a very good relationship with her, was also out and not at home.
This truly was an alignment of a perfect opportunity!
Lin Ranyue kept her mouth tightly closed, struggling not to swallow that object.
Although she didn’t know what the other party was trying to feed her,
one could guess with their toes that this thing was definitely not good!
However, Lin Ranyue’s strength was too little, not to mention that she was also worried about the two children at home.
Just as Lin Ranyue was about to give in and her mouth was on the verge of being pryed open, a servant from the Mu family suddenly cried out beside her!
Then he lay on the ground, beginning to convulse!
The servant suddenly collapsed; the gift he had been holding scattered all over the ground.
The other servant was already scared witless!
In the moment the butler was distracted, Lin Ranyue seized the chance and kicked directly at his lower body.
Then taking advantage of the moment he was in pain, she quickly ran to the side.
The butler, coming back to his senses, wanted to chase after Lin Ranyue.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt as thick as an arm smashed directly into the butler’s face!
"Ah!"
The butler covered his face, fell to the ground, limbs twitching, his face charred by the electric shock!
The remaining servant, seeing this, dropped what he was holding and dashed off!
But just as his hand touched the doorknob, a current of electricity surged through his body.
The next moment, he passed out.
Lin Ranyue sat collapsed on the ground, her soul still in shock, staring dumbfounded at the scene, gasping for breath.
After a few seconds, her gaze started to shift around.
She saw her little grandson, pale-faced, sitting in the hovercar.
Little Gu Chen, suffering from overuse of his superpower, was extremely pale; and although he was feeling terrible, he still managed, with difficulty, to control the hovercar and come beside Lin Ranyue.
"Grandma, hug!"
Lin Ranyue firmly hugged her little grandson and then immediately called Gu Jue’s communicator!
Gu Jue quickly arrived with people.
He squatted there, looking at something on the ground that resembled a segment of grass root.
But it was not so simple.
Lin Ranyue had already regained her composure and began recounting the incident to Gu Jue.
She finally pointed at that piece of grass root and said, "Commander, that Mu butler just tried to shove this thing into my mouth! If it wasn’t for Xiaochen, I’m afraid I would have already eaten it!"
"I’ll have someone check it out to see what it really is."
At this moment, Gu Qingyu and Su Xiaoge, who had received the news, also arrived.
Gu Qingyu took people to check on Little Gu Chen’s health, as the child’s complexion looked a bit off.
Gu Jue said to Su Xiaoge, "Su Xiaoge, you stay here to protect them during this period, I will arrange leave for you."
Su Xiaoge nodded his head, feeling a bit guilty, "If only I had known, I wouldn’t have left so early this morning. If I had stayed here a bit longer, I could have dealt with that Mu butler!"
Gu Jue shook his head, "If you hadn’t left, they wouldn’t have come. They were specifically waiting for Lin Ranyue to be alone before making a move."
Yet, the Mu family had calculated everything but were ignorant of Little Gu Chen’s capabilities.
His gaze fell on the grass root again.
"Eric, take people to get control of the Mu family."
"Yes!"
After seeing that Lin Ranyue’s emotions had stabilized and that his son Little Gu Chen was alright, Gu Jue went back to the military headquarters.
The results of the examination came out quickly.
The thing the Mu butler was trying to feed Lin Ranyue was a type of Poisonous Insect.
This Poisonous Insect was similar to the one found in the student Li Zhi’s body, but not entirely the same.
Li Zhi’s Poisonous Insect was deadlier, causing harm to the host of the offspring.
But this Poisonous Insect, to some extent, only made the host of the offspring follow the commands of the mother insect’s owner.
However, this did not prove that the Mu family had no connection with the Star Thieves!
Very soon, Su Wan, who was at the base training her stars, and Gu Lei, also learned about this.
Su Wan saw Gu Lei’s grim face and began to console him in turn.
"Uncle Lei, don’t worry, my mom and the others are fine, and Ajue has already sent people to protect them."
Gu Lei lifted his head to face Su Wan, and the gloom on his face dissipated somewhat.
"Xiaowan, I’m sorry, I need to leave for a while to deal with this. I will handle it as quickly as possible and come back."
Gu Lei was deeply hurt by the Mu family before.
Although he changed his surname, he had also said that he would still help with some legitimate matters concerning the Mu Family in the future if needed.
But Gu Lei had not anticipated that the Mu family would be so foolish.
They actually attempted to use a Poisonous Insect to control Lin Ranyue to achieve their ends!
On one side was his blood relatives.
On the other side was his beloved partner.
Su Wan understood him.
"Uncle Lei, go ahead and be busy. Also, the first phase for me involves various tests, so there won’t be much danger. You don’t have to worry about me."
Gu Lei nodded, "I will handle things as quickly as possible and rush back. Xiaowan, if something happens, you can go to Andrew, and if worse comes to worst, you can go directly to Adolf."
Although Adolf was a colonel, Su Wan was the Commander’s wife.
Su Wan: "Alright, I know, Uncle Lei, don’t worry."
After seeing Gu Lei off, Su Wan looked at the message that Gu Jue had sent on her Light Brain.
Actually, if Xiaochen hadn’t been present at that time, her mother Lin Ranyue would really have been forcefully fed that thing.
Su Wan: "Ajue, does this matter have something to do with the Star Thieves?"
Gu Jue: "Still investigating."
Su Wan: "Uncle Lei has rushed back already, Ajue, you also need to be careful, I always feel that there’s more to this incident."
Gu Jue: "You too, take good care of yourself over there. Once I’m done with these few days, I’ll come see you."
Su Wan: "Xiaochen is okay, right?"
Gu Jue: "He’s fine, just a bit of overexertion of his superpower, some rest will do."
Su Wan: "That’s good."
Commander Gu reluctantly ended the call with his young wife, deciding to quickly finish up the work at hand.
But he still had to make a trip to the Mu Family.
Calculating the time, Gu Lei would probably have arrived there by now.
At this moment, Eric came in from outside.
Frowning, he said, "Boss, Duke Bai and Prince Gu have come together, they say they want to see you."
