Chapter 1040 Lu Li's Kidnapping
"Hey you two, this is a kidnapping! Can't you be serious?!"

The man with the gun said angrily because he saw that after he fired the shot, Lu Li leisurely took out money and put it on the stall next to him, then used the ice cream machine to make an ice cream and handed it to Xiao Fang.

"Oh, kidnapping? What did you just say?"

Lu Li asked while eating the ice cream in his hand.

"I'll make you surrender!"

The kidnapper said angrily. He didn't know who this old man was. A few days ago, when Bick picked up Xiaofang and the others, the attempt failed. Today, seeing that the person picking up Xiaofang was an old man who looked very weak, he decided to act decisively.

"Xiaofang, do you know why they kidnapped you?"

Lu Li lowered his head and asked Xiao Fang.

Xiaofang hugged the new ice cream and swallowed back her tears, shaking her head. "I don't know."

Are you curious about why they wanted to kidnap you?

Lu Li asked again with a smile.

Xiaofang nodded. "I want to know."

"Then let's go take a look."

As Lu Li spoke, he looked at the kidnappers and said, "Hey, didn't you say you were inviting us to your home? Why aren't you leading the way?"

The kidnapper was a bit confused, wondering what was going on. Was the man who was supposed to pick up Xiaofang not very bright?

But they didn't think too much about it and immediately stepped forward, handcuffing Lu Li and Xiao Fang. The two of them cooperated well.

Lu Li wanted to see where these people came from, and also found this kind of thing very interesting. It was the first time he had been pointed at with a gun by ordinary people, and he found this experience...super novel!
As for Xiaofang, she didn't understand why these people were giving her such a silver bracelet; she thought it was a gift for visiting guests.

She just didn't quite understand the meaning of the chain design in the middle of the bracelet. Was this a popular fashion trend among adults?
But she felt that this kind of bracelet was really inconvenient; if she used too much force, she would break the chain in the middle.

Just after Lu Li and Xiao Fang were kidnapped and flown away in the kidnappers' flying vehicle, a hovercar sped over and stopped in place. A short policeman got out of it; it was Ke Lin.

"Damn it, am I too late?!"

Krillin said angrily that he had been hunting down this criminal gang, the remnants of the Red Ribbon Army that he and Goku had encountered when they were children. He had received intelligence and wanted to capture a few people for interrogation, but he was too late again.

"Everyone, don't panic. Can anyone explain to me what just happened?"

Klin reassured the crowd and inquired about the details of the incident.

The ice cream truck owner stepped forward, explained the situation to Klin, and even described Xiaofang's appearance.

He said there was an old man who looked like the girl's parent, but he was also puzzled because he couldn't remember what the old man looked like.

After hearing the boss's description, Krillin became quite anxious because he immediately realized that the kidnappers had abducted Gohan's daughter, Pan!
"Oh no, oh no, Bick didn't come to pick up Xiaofang today, and now this has happened..."

Klin was pacing anxiously; he knew exactly what had happened.

He had been hunting down the Red Ribbon Army recently, and there had been a riot caused by Dr. Hyde a while ago. It was Gohan and Trunks' superhero duo that solved the problem. After this battle, those criminals are probably now wary of the Saiyans' power.

That's why they kidnapped Xiaofang this time, in order to make the Saiyans hesitate to act against her.

Those people had plotted to kidnap Xiaofang several times before, but they had all been dealt with by Bick, who was in charge of picking up the child. In order not to frighten Xiaofang, Bick had dealt with them all in secret.

The reason I didn't come to pick up Xiaofang today is because Bick is preparing to deal with that criminal organization and has been in contact with Klin to cooperate in taking down the Red Ribbon Army.

As for why they didn't ask others for help, the reason is simple: the three strongest Saiyans are not on Earth right now, and Vegeta's communicator is broken, so they can't be contacted at the moment.

Trunks and Goten have neglected their training in recent years, only playing superhero games, so their fighting power has actually weakened considerably, and they might not even be as strong as Piccolo.

Besides, the two kids were still in school, and Bick and Klin thought that capturing the Red Ribbon Army was an adult's job, so they didn't let the two kids participate.

As a result, while Bick was infiltrating the Red Ribbon Army today, Xiaofang was indeed kidnapped, which is a real problem.

With a heavy heart, he dialed Bidili's number. He felt it was his responsibility to let Xiaofang's mother know about this first. "Bidili, calm down and listen to me..."

After stammering for a long time, Klin finally revealed the truth. He was prepared to be scolded by Videl, but after a while, he didn't hear any reproach from Videl.

"Oh, I see. Then I can prepare dinner a little later."

Videl simply said this to Klin calmly, leaving Klin somewhat bewildered.

"Bidli, didn't you hear me clearly? I said Xiao Fang was kidnapped, and you're asking me to make sure the people who came to pick her up were kidnapped too! Those are the extremely evil Red Ribbon Legion!"

Klin wondered if Videl had lost her mind due to the shock of the news.

"Don't you know who picked up Xiaofang today?"

This time, it was Bidili who seemed somewhat confused during the video call.

"Who is it? The witness didn't describe it clearly. Could it be Gohan coming back?"

Krillin said that, but he felt that the possibility was very low, because he thought that if it were Gohan, he would definitely defeat those people directly, and there was no way he would let Pan and himself be kidnapped.

"The person who picked up Xiaofang today was Mr. Lu."

"That's what Bidil said."

"Mr. Lu? Lu... Lu Li!?"

Klin's voice rose several decibels. He hadn't seen Lu Li for more than seven years, and he wasn't particularly close to Lu Li to begin with. To be honest, the various major cosmic events that had occurred before felt like a dream to him, an Earthling.

But one thing he was clear about was that Lu Li was definitely the strongest warrior in the universe. If it were Lu Li, he would never be able to lose to the Red Ribbon Legion's kidnappers.

Krillin was also puzzled: how did Lu Li become an old man? The last time he saw Lu Li was at Bulma's banquet. At that time, Lu Li looked very young, like a young man in his twenties. Even if the other party's lifespan was similar to that of an Earthling, he should only be middle-aged at most now.

"Why did Mr. Lu do this?"

Klin was puzzled, but his sense of urgency lessened considerably.

"I don't know either, but when I saw Mr. Lu this time, I felt that he had aged a lot, and his eyes looked a bit weathered. It's probably because he's been cultivating in the Spiritual Time Chamber for too long. Now that he's out, he probably just wants to have some fun."

Bidil said, "Anyway, Xiaofang will be fine with him."

Krillin had just breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone when his wife called. "Hey, Krillin!!"

Number 18's loud voice came through the phone, making Krillin's ears hurt, and he immediately became cautious, "W-what's wrong?"

"I don't care about your confidentiality regulations. How dare someone target Maren? Tell me who those criminals are! I'm going to blast them to smithereens!"

Number 18's voice was like a shrew's roar, indicating that he was truly enraged.

After carefully inquiring, Klin was also shocked and furious, because the Red Ribbon Legion was not only here to kidnap Xiaofang, but also targeting them, the pursuers.

If Maren hadn't made plans with her daughter to go to the movies and pick her up from school today, she would have been arrested as well.

Unlike Goku and Vegeta's Saiyan family, Krillin and Android 18 didn't teach Maren any martial arts. Maren was just an ordinary girl who had no resistance to being kidnapped, making her quite dangerous.

Klin felt a wave of fear wash over him. Luckily, his wife had gone to see their daughter today; otherwise, Maren would have been taken hostage too.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became alert and immediately dialed Bulma's number, "Bulma, is Bra home after school?!"

He soon received a reply: not only had Bra not arrived home, but Bulma had also just learned that someone had kidnapped Bra.

However, Bulma wasn't too panicked. As the world's richest family, it was common for her family members to be kidnapped. She figured the kidnappers were after money, and since her family wasn't short of cash, she was happy as long as they could spend money to ensure her daughter's safety.

Anyway, once Bra comes back, we'll definitely get the money back. After all, even if we don't consider her husband, her eldest son Trunks isn't someone to be trifled with.

"Hmm... then leave it to us to handle. Don't worry, Bra will definitely get home safely."

Krillin didn't know how to explain it to Bulma. He felt that if he said it was the Red Ribbon Army, it would make Bulma even more worried. Anyway, Piccolo was already an undercover agent, and Lu Li had also been kidnapped. He felt that there shouldn't be any major problems.

…………

After a period of flight, Lu Li and Xiao Fang were taken to the headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army.

"Wow, the architectural design here is so unique!"

Xiao Fang walked down the street without any sense of tension, which made the kidnappers feel awkward.

Just then, another spaceship landed in the square, and the kidnappers pushed a little girl out.

The little girl looked about the same age as Xiao Fang, around seven or eight years old, with long light blue hair and a red hair accessory.

The little girl was shoved and almost fell. She stomped her foot angrily, "Hey, watch out! My family is very rich! And my dad and brother are super powerful. If you dare to bully me, they'll beat you to death!"

Lu Li only glanced at her and knew why Bulma had been troubled lately. If Bulma was so unruly at such a young age, what would she be like when she grew up?
But there's nothing we can do about it. Bulma had this kind of personality when she was little. Born into the world's richest family, with an invincible father and a dashing brother, it's really hard to keep her from getting arrogant.

In contrast, Xiaofang's upbringing was not only much simpler, but she also received regular training from Bick, so she wasn't particularly spoiled.

"Heh, your brother is Trunks, right? Do you think he'd dare lay a hand on us while you're in our hands?"

The kidnapper sneered and shoved Bula again, "Hurry up, or I'll make you record a pitiful video and send it to your brother and mother."

Bra was nearly pushed over and staggered forward a few steps before regaining her balance. She really inherited her mother's bad temper and Vegeta's arrogance. Putting everything else aside, she was really fearless at such a young age and showed no signs of being scared at all.

It's important to understand that Bra is different from Xiao Fang. Although he is a Saiyan-Earth hybrid, he hasn't trained. In reality, he's just healthier than an ordinary person.

Just as Bula was about to exchange insults with the kidnappers, he suddenly saw Xiao Fang and was stunned for a moment. "You bastards, you actually kidnapped Xiao Fang!"

The kidnapper grinned wickedly. "Hehehe, now you know, those alien warriors can't do anything to us anymore, whether it's your brother, his brother, or his father, it's all the same."

The kidnappers drove Bula to Lu Li and the others, escorted them to the cell, slammed the door shut, and then happily went to report their kidnapping success to their superiors.

"Sister Bula, are you alright?"

Xiao Fang asked with concern, because she saw a handprint on Bula's face, which she guessed was from when he was arguing with the kidnappers on the spaceship and got beaten up.

This angered Xiaofang, who had just realized that the people who gave her the silver bracelet and invited her to "visit" were actually bad guys.

"Xiaofang, are you alright?"

Bra raised her hand and rubbed her face. She didn't want to appear spoiled in front of her younger sister, so she had to act like an older sister.

"I'm fine. I even had ice cream after school."

Xiao Fang said with a smile.

"I really want to eat ice cream, but my mom says I have cavities and I can only have it once a week."

"Who is this old man?" Bula asked enviously, then looked at Lu Li curiously.

"It's Grandpa Lu Li, you've never met him before, have you?"

Xiao Fang said smugly.

"what--"

Bula exclaimed in surprise, looking at Lu Li, "This old man is... my master?"

She knew that her father had taken someone as his master, and that person was Lu Li, who had saved the universe. However, Lu Li had never been to Earth in her memory, so he was just a figure in her mind.

Now that she has actually met Lu Li, she is somewhat disappointed. "My father is so strong, how could he possibly become the disciple of such a slovenly old man?"

Lu Li was a little flustered upon hearing this, but he did look rather unkempt. After being in seclusion for thousands of years, he had let his hair grow long and had only shaved his beard casually before emerging from seclusion.

Without the indigo dye, the long white hair is casually draped over the shoulders, and it does look rather unkempt.

"No, Mom said in the video that this is Grandpa Lu Li. My dad said Grandpa Lu Li is really amazing."

Xiao Fang started verifying Lu Li's identity. In fact, she had already been won over by Ice Cream, and she always felt a strange sense of familiarity and natural warmth when she saw Lu Li.

"Really? If Grandpa Lu Li is so powerful, how come he was arrested along with us?"

Bra retorted, "Isn't he the great hero who saved the universe?"

Xiao Fang turned her head and looked at Lu Li with some curiosity. "Oh right, Grandpa Lu Li, you haven't told us what we're going to do after we come here."
