Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City
Chapter 14 The Fury of the Gila Mann Family
The sun sets over the west mountain, and the moon shines brightly in the sky.
It is already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the streets of Piltover are still bustling at night.
Near Gila Mann's house in the northern city, more than a dozen law enforcement officers wearing blue uniform jackets, plaid trousers and black leather shoes came and went from the iron gate of the yard. It was obvious that something big had happened.
In the living room of the main house, Mrs. Karina, who had a gloomy face, was scolding a dark-skinned woman with short black ear-length hair who looked to be in her 30s:
"Chief Grayson, do your people still have no news about my daughter?"
"I'm sorry, Councilor Gila Mann. We have already allocated half of our manpower to find Miss Caitlin. Whether it is the streets or the suburban forests, as soon as there is news, we will definitely..."
"Send more people! Our Gila Mann family usually helps you with the security of Piltover, right? Can't we ask you to find someone to help us now?"
Grayson lowered his face, his expression showing helplessness, "You know, the Evolution Day is approaching, and I have to send law enforcement officers to maintain order in the city..."
"It's just a mere evolution day, is it important to have my daughter?!"
"My dear, calm down, calm down." Elro patted Karina's back and comforted her, "Don't you know our daughter yet? She will definitely be fine."
"I just know her well and know that she would never do such a thing to worry us!" Karina's eyes were red and her voice was choked: "She was supposed to come back five hours ago, but now it's already late at night !”
Elro sighed and fell silent, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.
Sheriff Grayson opened his mouth, ready to confirm Caitlin's situation today and her recent travel trajectory, when he heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor.
After a while, the door to the living room was pushed open, and a slightly thin young law enforcement officer ran to Grayson's side, putting his hands on his knees and breathing heavily.
"Why are you so anxious, Marcus?" Grayson patted his back to help him relax quickly, "Have you found any clues?"
"Gee...Miss Gila Mann is back!"
"What?! Where is she!"
The Gila Manns were startled at the same time. They quickly ran in front of Marcus, pushed Grayson aside, and grabbed his shoulders on one side and the other on the right side.
Being stared at by two pairs of eyes that seemed to be able to eat people alive, Marcus swallowed hard and looked back at the corridor behind him.
Not long after, Caitlin's voice came from the corridor: "Mom, dad!"
"Oh my god, Kate!" Karina's hot tears couldn't stop sliding down her cheeks.
She immediately dropped Marcos and ran straight to her daughter with Elro, who had been missing for over five hours, and embraced her into their arms.
Inside the room, Grayson winked at Marcus, and the two quietly left the living room through the side door.
"You damn girl! Where did you go? Do you know how worried your father and I are about you?"
Although Karina's words contained a hint of reproach, the joy and excitement on her face could not be concealed.
"What kind of clothes are you wearing, Kate? It's still so dirty." Elro seemed to notice something and circled around Caitlin twice, saying distressedly: "What happened? Are you not injured?"
"My father who is fine is Li Lin..." Caitlin pouted, deliberately showing an aggrieved expression.
"Li Lin? What's wrong with him?" Karina looked sharply.
Elro also stroked his beard, "Well, I don't think I saw him all afternoon. Was he the one who took you out today?"
"Where did you think you were going?" Caitlin said with dissatisfaction, "You should thank him!"
Karina and Elro looked at each other confused, somewhat confused.
"I was attacked by a group of gangsters when I went out with him today. He saved me and carried a bullet for me."
Caitlin blinked out two tears, her tone full of grievance, "Without him, you wouldn't be able to see your daughter..."
Because the Gila Manns regarded Caitlin as their favorite, they did not allow any lapse in her personal safety.
In addition, she was indeed the one who implicated Li Lin this time. In order to prevent him from being implicated in her parents' anger, Caitlin deliberately shifted the conflict to the gangster who attacked them and pushed the credit to Li Lin.
She had discussed it with Li Lin in advance.
As for putting the credit on him and helping to resist bullets, it was Caitlin's own intention.
"What... someone actually attacked you?!"
Sure enough, as soon as she heard about her daughter being attacked, Karina completely ignored other things.
Not only her, but even Elro, who was usually gentle, had monstrous anger burning in his eyes.
"Who did it? There are several families that are hostile to us at the moment. Is it the Kewald family or the Joyson family? I think the old bastards from Odilenk are more capable of doing this kind of thing..."
After hearing several family names mentioned by her husband, Karina completely restrained her expression.
But judging from the slight movement of her cheekbones from time to time, she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart at this moment.
"Is Li Lin okay?"
Caitlin nodded, "Fortunately, I'll let him go back to his room to rest first."
"What about the people who attacked you?" Karina asked in a low voice.
"I told Sheriff Grayson's deputy Marcus what happened, and he has sent law enforcement officers to the bottom city to arrest those guys."
"Very good." Karina said calmly, looking sideways at her husband and said, "My dear, I will send a transmission tube to the other five families and Heimerdinger later, explaining that the parliament meeting will be held tomorrow. "
She thought for a moment and then snorted coldly.
"Having not beaten these bastards for so many years, they don't think they can withstand the anger of the Giraman family...
"Hmph, that's right. Most of them have probably forgotten the influence of the Gila Mann family... Taking advantage of this opportunity, it's time to kill the chicken and scare the monkeys."
…
…
Time is ticking by.
In the blink of an eye, the hour hand on the clock has pointed to the area between "2" and "3".
Due to the system's digitized health value, Li Lin's wound recovery was very rapid.
It had only been a few hours, but the spot where the stitches were stitched on his left shoulder had already scabbed over and became unbearably itchy.
He lay on his bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, thinking about the exoskeleton power armor in his mind.
Bang bang bang——
At this moment, Li Lin heard a gentle knock on his door.
It's so late, who is it?
He gritted his teeth and climbed up, picked up a coat and went to the small living room, opening the door.
As a burst of girl's unique fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, a beautiful figure wearing dark purple pajamas appeared in front of his eyes.
Who else could it be but Caitlin?
"Caitlin? It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned sideways to let her in, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
"I'm so busy that I only have time to see you now." Caitlin did not refuse and walked into the house with her face half lowered.
"I'm fine." Li Lin smiled and sat face to face with her on the sofa. "Wait a minute, I'll make you tea..."
"Let me do it." Caitlin snatched the tea jar from Li Lin's hand, glared at him, and started busying herself, "You are still a patient, how can I let you do such a thing?"
My wound is actually almost healed...
Li Lin said helplessly.
The tea was brewed quickly.
Caitlin placed one of the cups in front of Li Lin, then raised the tea in front of her to blow air and took a small sip.
"Actually, I came to you to inform you in advance that tomorrow... we are going to attend a parliamentary meeting."
Li Lin:? ? !
