I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?
Chapter 42 Uncle Zhao, what is that?
As soon as Zhao Haidong finished speaking, all the pretense on Jiang Hongming's face vanished instantly!
Faced with the irrefutable evidence of the "source of the gray," all arguments are utterly meaningless!
He chuckled softly, preparing to readily admit it and exchange his own life for the safety of his entire family.
However, just a second before he was about to speak.
A childish voice abruptly broke the tense atmosphere.
"Uncle Zhao, what's that?"
Jiang Luo's little finger pointed straight up to the top of the magnificent crystal chandelier behind Zhao Haidong.
For an instant.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the little finger.
They looked in that direction.
A strange insect was clinging to the ceiling there.
It resembles a skinned slug, its entire body dark red, and its plump body covered with a layer of sticky, oozing blood.
"That is..."
"A Class F calamity, the [Blood Saliva Worm]?!"
A teammate behind Zhao Haidong instinctively gasped.
Jiang Luo blinked, looking completely innocent. "Oh, so this is also a calamity? I thought it was some kind of insect I'd never seen before!"
At this moment, the Bloodworm seemed to realize that it had been "exposed".
The front ring of sharp teeth twitched violently, then detached from the wall and crawled towards the window.
It was very fast, leaving a sticky red trail.
"Trying to run away?"
Zhao Haidong snorted coldly.
He didn't even bother to lift a finger; he simply frowned slightly, and an invisible spiritual force rippled outwards.
Before the Bloodworm could even let out a scream, its entire body exploded into a pool of foul-smelling slime, dripping down from the ceiling.
Jiang Hongming and Zhang Hui exchanged a glance.
The despair and tension in their eyes vanished in the same instant.
Although they had absolutely no idea where this "blood worm" came from.
But at least...
The current crisis seems to have been resolved!
"Mr. Zhao..."
Jiang Hongming's expression immediately turned confused and innocent.
He looked at Zhao Haidong, puzzled, and asked, "I don't quite understand, what calamity? What you just said about being monitored in the hospital... could it be this bug?"
Zhao Haidong's expression was somewhat uncertain.
He did not answer Jiang Hongming's question, but instead focused his gaze on Jiang Luo.
"Jiang Luo, can you tell your uncle... how long has this bug been here?"
Jiang Luo tilted her head, looking like she was trying hard to remember.
"Hmm...it seems like it was there before you arrived."
Zhao Haidong narrowed his eyes, not immediately believing it, but instead began to examine his surroundings.
Suddenly, his gaze settled on the inconspicuous hemispherical surveillance camera in the upper right corner of the living room.
There was a small surveillance camera there, and the indicator light on the device was lit up green.
This means it is working.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Hongming again.
"Mr. Jiang, could you please let me see your home's security camera footage? This matter is extremely important to me and to the Extraordinary Bureau!"
Jiang Hongming and Zhang Hui's expressions changed instantly.
When did they install surveillance cameras in their house? Why don't they even know about it?
of course……
This is not the point.
The key point is...
Despite their strength, they failed to detect the existence of this [Blood Saliva Worm] from beginning to end.
Does this mean...?
Is this bloodworm a newly appeared one?
If we watch the surveillance footage, wouldn't that expose us?
Jiang Hongming was making an excuse to refuse.
Although this will arouse suspicion, there's no other way; suspicion is better than complete exposure.
But Jiang Luo beat him to it once again.
The little guy jumped down from Lu Yao's arms, ran over, and took Zhao Haidong's hand.
"Uncle Zhao, the security camera footage is in my parents' room. I know the computer password. I'll take you to see it!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Haidong's face, which made him unable to resist reaching out and patting Jiang Luo's little head.
"Good boy, then take your uncle there."
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Luo took Zhao Haidong's hand and swaggered towards the master bedroom.
Zhang Hui's heart sank to the bottom instantly.
It’s over.
This little brat is going to send his whole family to jail!
But after a slight pause, Jiang Hongming appeared unusually calm.
He knew his son to some extent.
He didn't believe Jiang Luo would harm them.
So he strode off into the master bedroom.
soon.
The group arrived at the master bedroom.
The computer is turned on, the monitoring software starts, and the recording begins playback.
Time was instantly rewound to ten minutes earlier, just one minute before Zhao Haidong and his three companions rang the doorbell.
The living room is empty in the picture.
But in the upper right corner of the surveillance footage, on the ceiling, a blurry red dot was slowly crawling, eventually stopping above the chandelier.
That was the Blood Saliva Worm!
Then, the scene fast-forwards.
The doorbell rang, and Zhang Hui went to open the door. Zhao Haidong and the other three entered the house, sat down, and began to talk...
Finally, Zhao Haidong produced the [Origin-Tracing Ash]...
Everything matched perfectly.
But Zhao Haidong's expression remained uncertain.
In the end, however, he still bowed to Jiang Hongming and Zhang Hui.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jiang, Ms. Zhang."
"So much has happened lately that I'm a bit stressed..."
Jiang Hongming smiled calmly and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright. After all, it concerns a calamity, so it's always good to be cautious..."
Zhang Hui quickly chimed in, "Yes, you're doing this for everyone's benefit, we understand."
The couple worked together perfectly.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhao Haidong and his three teammates took their leave.
But just before leaving, Zhao Haidong suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Luo with a smile.
"Little Jiang Luo, thank you for helping your uncle find that bug."
You're welcome.
Jiang Luo clapped her hands, looking very generous.
Zhao Haidong didn't say anything more.
The door closed.
The footsteps faded into the distance.
After watching from the balcony, Jiang Hongming and Zhang Hui breathed a sigh of relief as they saw the four people completely leave the residential area.
This is a dangerous hurdle...
It's all in the past now!
But at this time.
Lu Yao, who had been sitting on the sofa with her head down and not saying a word, raised her head at this moment.
Her face was pale, her voice was hoarse, and her tone was filled with disbelief.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you..."
Is it truly a calamity?
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire living room fell silent.
Both of them looked somewhat surprised.
"Yaoyao, how...how did you know..."
Zhang Hui spoke up subconsciously.
"Old Deng, isn't that obvious?"
Jiang Luo, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Do you really think that [Blood Saliva Worm] would just happen to appear in our house by sheer coincidence?"
"Wasn't it only because my sister sacrificed her blood that it came here? Without her, our whole family would be finished today!"
"I suggest you kowtow to her right now and thank her properly!"
"You brat!" Zhang Hui was instantly enraged and was about to explode.
Jiang Hongming stopped her, signaling her to calm down.
Actually, he had a vague idea of what was going on ever since he saw the surveillance video.
How could a mere F-level calamity possibly bypass his and Zhang Hui's senses perfectly and sneak in here silently?
How could it be such a coincidence that Jiang Luo discovered Zhao Haidong at the crucial moment when he took out the [Tracing Ash]?
He himself wouldn't believe there wasn't someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.
He simply couldn't understand when his sister and son had reached this tacit understanding.
"Yaoyao, can you tell me when you found out about this?"
"just……"
"just?"
"Um……"
Lu Yao nodded. "Just before Director Zhao and the others entered, Luo Luo suddenly ran over, told me your identities, and asked me to find a way to use her sacrificial ability to lure any Calamity over..."
"She also asked me to sacrifice the surveillance footage and the video recordings stored on your computers..."
The couple's gaze instantly focused on their son, their eyes filled with shock and astonishment.
They never imagined that it would be this three-year-old little thing who would resolve this enormous crisis.
No wonder...
No wonder Luo Luo dared to so confidently drag Zhao Haidong to watch the surveillance footage earlier.
It turns out that he had already arranged everything perfectly.
It could even be said that the perfect surveillance video was the final straw that completely dispelled Zhao Haidong's suspicions!
Seeing the look of utter disbelief on his parents' faces, Jiang Luo curled his lip in disdain.
"You don't need to be too surprised. After all, I'm a chosen one, so it's normal for me to know a bit about strategy, isn't it?"
"Of course, if you really want to thank me, just kowtow to me."
"Especially you..."
Jiang Luo's little finger pointed precisely at Zhang Hui.
"You old bastard, you usually treat me like dirt. Today I saved you, so you have to kowtow to me a hundred times!"
