Chapter 90: Thirty Percent Like Each Other

“Yes, sir,” Cheng’s voice was heard from outside the door, followed by a series of footsteps.

Wu Chengyue looked at Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming while speaking, “He hasn’t told me the details regarding how he dealt with those three people, so I don’t know much about it yet. You’re gonna have to wait for him to come over and answer your questions.”

Fortunately, Xiao Yunlong hadn’t gone far, so he was back in two minutes. He knocked the door and walked in, then looked at the people in the office and asked, “You wanted to see me?”

Wu Chengyue pointed at an armchair and said, “You had finished those three people off before returning to the base, right? These two have some questions to ask you.” While speaking, he pointed at Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming.

Xiao Yunlong didn’t directly sit down after coming in, but walked to the water filter to get himself a cup of water. After that, he held the cup and walked back to sit into the armchair.

He looked at Lu Tianyi with a strange expression, then asked abruptly, “Can I ask you a question? Are you Lu Tianyu’s long lost brother?”

Lu Tianyi felt a little speechless. Wu Chengyue and Kong Qingming couldn’t help but laugh.

“Not long lost. I am her brother. Do we look alike?” Said Lu Tianyi.

Xiao Yunlong took a sip of the water and nodded while saying, “Em… about thirty percent.”

In fact, he had met Lu Tianyi before Lu Tianyu. Lu Tianyu’s thick makeup covered her real face, but Xiao Yunlong still felt a little strange after seeing her for a few times. Back then, he didn’t pay any attention to that or try to figure out why; but now, he had that feeling again when he was looking at Lu Tianyi closely.

Lu Tianyi sighed and continued, “We don’t really look alike. But, Deputy Chief does have sharp eyes.”

He was actually trying to say that Lu Tianyu might have looked more like him if she removed her thick makeup.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue looked at Xiao Yunlong and said, “You dealt with Lin Yong and the other two superpowered ones yourself. Before that, did you verify any info about that wo… Em, about Lu Tianyu?”

He was going to say ‘that woman’ in dislike, but changed his words on seeing Lu Tianyi’s face.

Xiao Yunlong nodded and responded, “Those three got Lu Tianyu killed. You should have known that already, so I won’t say much about it. I’ve sent my people to the place that Lin Yong told me, and my people have found some traces indeed. However, they didn’t see her body.”

If Lu Tianyu were eaten by zombies, her body might be torn into pieces, but her skull and some bones should have remained. However, Xiao Yunlong’s people failed to find even a finger of hers.

Kong Qingming rubbed his delicate chin as he pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, “Could she have become a zombie?”

Wu Chengyue and Lu Tianyi both turned to Xiao Yunlong.

Xiao Yunlong shook his head and denied that possibility, “That shouldn’t be possible. That could only happen when she was wounded by zombies, then hid in a zombie-free area. But, according to Lin Yong and the other two, they threw Lu Tianyu out after they killed her. So, she was very likely to be eaten by zombies.”

Lu Tianyi’s face dropped slightly as he remained silent. Kong Qingming thought for a while and said, “So where’s her body?”

Xiao Yunlong looked at him and said, “I didn’t think that you two are really related. Is she really your sister?”

Lu Tianyi raised his head to look at Xiao Yunlong, then nodded slightly.

Seeing Lu Tianyi’s grim face, Kong Qingming explained for him, “She was his half-sister. Because of their complicated family relationship, they didn’t get along well in the old world. But in fact, Tianyi has been keeping an eye on her since the apocalypse. But, something went wrong this time, and we didn’t get the message timely.”

Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, “That woman… Em, it might be unpleasant to hear, but Yang Chao didn’t want her anymore, and other men did not want to have her either. Besides, that woman had her eyes on his enemy… Hm, that was enough to make him jealous. She risked her own life to try hurting our Chief, so Yang Chao took the opportunity to kill her. He has spread the word that it was us who threw Lu Tianyu into a zombie crowd, right?”

Xiao Yunlong sneered while speaking, his gaze was sharp.

At that point, almost everyone in the base who knew about what happened to Lu Tianyu thought that she was killed by Chief Wu’s people, as easily as killing an ant, because she had offended Chief Wu.

They believed that Chief Wu and his people wouldn’t get soft-hearted, even though she was a beautiful woman.

Only a few people who saw things extra clearly knew that she was abandoned and killed by Yang Chao.

“That’s about all we know. The rest you can only find out by yourself. I’m sorry that we can’t be more helpful. We haven’t done you much help actually,” Wu Chengyue said to Lu Tianyi as an apology.

Lu Tianyi hurriedly waved his hand and said smilingly, “You shouldn’t be sorry at all. We should apologize for disturbing you. And, Deputy Chief’s information is very useful to us. So, Chief, we should leave and stop wasting your time. We still have things to do.”

While he was speaking, he and Kong Qingming stood up, prepared to leave.

Wu Chengyue remained sitting in his seat while holding Wu Yueling. He raised his head to smile at Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming, then said, “That’s alright. So, see you later.”

After the two young men walked out of the office and closed the door, Wu Chengyue turned to Xiao Yunlong and asked, “Did you really not see her body?”

Xiao Yunlong looked at Wu Chengyue without answering the question. Then, he turned his eyes to Wu Yueling, who was sitting on her father’s knees, and said, “Eh? Why isn’t Lin Ling afraid of me today?”

Wu Yueling was sitting in Wu Chengyue’s arms quietly. However, once she sensed Xiao Yunlong’s gaze, she turned to hold Wu Chengyue, with her back toward Xiao Yunlong.

‘I just said that you’re not afraid me of today…’ thought Xiao Yunlong with some exasperation.

He had noticed Wu Yueling once he came in. Before, he couldn’t even see the little girl’s face, because she didn’t dare to look at anyone other than her father!

However, he had sat here for over a minute today, and the little girl had been staring at her hands or feet the whole while. Even though she still didn’t dare to raise her head and look at his face, it was already unusual for her.

Besides, two strangers were also in the office, but the child still didn’t turn to hold her father tightly.

That was unusual!

Nevertheless, when he pointed that out, the little girl reacted immediately, as if someone had turned on her switch!

Hearing Xiao Yunlong, Wucheng Yue’s expression changed slightly. Then, he stared at him, his eyes glowing.

Earlier on, he hadn’t been paying attention to his daughter when talking to Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming. But now, as Xiao Yunlong mentioned it, he sensed it right away.

Wu Chengyue looked at his daughter happily. He put his hands under her arms to drag her away from his chest, then said to her, “Ling Ling, you’re not afraid of Uncle Yunlong anymore, are you?”
