Chapter 1041 Kidnapping? Be Serious

"These bad guys kidnapped you, probably to threaten your families into doing bad things."

Lu Li squatted down and said to the two little girls, "Xiao Fang, Bula, are you scared?"

"Hmph, I'm not afraid at all. These bad guys will be taken down by my brother when he gets here."

Bra spoke first, waving his little fist.

"I'm not scared, I'm just a little hungry."

Xiao Fang has the typical Saiyan physique. Although she is a girl, she already has a great appetite at a young age. Her big eyes darted around. "Grandpa Lu Li, aren't you very strong? Let's quickly defeat these bad guys and then go home for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li patted the two girls on the head and said, "Okay, then let's work together to defeat these bad guys and go home for dinner early."

Xiao Fang perked up at the news and ran to the cell door, intending to open it with her fists. However, after punching it, she found that the alloy door was surprisingly hard. Not only could she not open the door, but her little hand also swelled up and turned red.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Xiao Fang waved her hands and kept jumping around in place.

"Haha, Xiaofang, you're so silly! How could you possibly break this kind of door with your fist?"

Bra was laughing while clutching his stomach, showing no sign of nervousness.

"Uncle Piccolo can do it, I still lack training."

Xiao Fang was a little disappointed, then looked at Bula and said, "Sister Bula, don't laugh. Why don't you give it a try?"

Bra's smile froze. "I, I don't want to. It'll hurt my hands. Besides, I haven't practiced any martial arts. Mom said girls shouldn't learn to fight like my brother and father."

“But training is really interesting. Uncle Piccolo also said that it can protect you in critical moments.”

Xiao Fang was a little confused. She felt quite happy about becoming stronger through cultivation, but she couldn't understand why girls couldn't fight and kill.

What are the consequences of becoming very strong?

“Cultivation seems too tiring, I don’t want to. It’s much more interesting to learn and research new things.”

Bra said that she inherited more of Bulma's personality traits, as well as her interests. Rather than sweating it out practicing martial arts, she prefers to learn and do research with her mother.

"Uh... but I find studying so boring."

Xiao Fang retorted, "It's strange, she has a PhD father, but she doesn't really like studying. She finds martial arts more interesting."

Seeing that the two children's conversation quickly veered off to their grandmother's house, Lu Li found it amusing. Children are like that; their attention is easily diverted, and they had completely forgotten that they were still locked up in a cell.

Noticing the smile on Lu Li's face, Bula suddenly realized, "Oh right, since Grandpa Lu Li is my dad's teacher, he must be very strong, right? He should be able to break down this prison door, right?"

"Opening this door isn't difficult, but to prevent them from kidnapping you again when I and the other adults aren't around, I think it would be better to find out their true intentions this time before capturing them all at once."

Lu Li said that having read the original novel, he now roughly knows what's going on.

The people who kidnapped them were probably the Red Ribbon Army. After Dr. Hyde was released from prison, the Red Ribbon kidnapped Dr. Hyde to conduct new research on androids. In order to prevent the Z Fighters from causing trouble, they came up with the idea of ​​kidnapping children.

However, this time they went even further than in the original story, perhaps due to the butterfly effect. They not only kidnapped Xiaofang, but also kidnapped Bula.

These people were lucky; Wukong and the others weren't on Earth, and their communicators just happened to be broken. Otherwise, any one of them would have beaten them to a pulp if they had returned.

As the saying goes, nothing is more coincidental than a story, and it was precisely because Wukong and his companions were away that the young people on Earth had the opportunity to shine.

However, the plot has changed, and Gohan's desire to train has been successfully aroused by Lu Li. In order to protect the Earth in the future, Gohan also went to train with his father, which resulted in there not being any normal people on Earth who could really hold their own.

The reason I say this is because defeating the Red Ribbon Army is actually quite simple: just go to Satan and call Buu. The androids here are no match for Buu.

However, Goten and Trunks are not as good as the Saiyans. They have been playing around all these years and have not improved their strength. Compared to when they were young, they have not made much progress.

If Buu doesn't intervene, and Gohan, who was supposed to resolve this incident in the original story, isn't around, it seems the Red Ribbon Army could really cause a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, they brought him along this time as well, so Lu Li could only deal with the situation as a matter of taking the kids out for after-school play.

While Lu Li was playing with the child in the prison cell, on the other side, in the Red Ribbon Legion's command center...

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, we have successfully captured two children!"

The soldier in charge of the kidnapping saluted and reported.

"Huh? Why are there only two? Didn't I tell you to kidnap that short policeman's kid?"

The commander-in-chief frowned and said, "That policeman is annoying; he's always following us around."

"This... Commander-in-Chief, regarding this matter, the Third Division has been completely wiped out."

Someone nearby cautiously reported, "According to the instrument records, a woman eliminated them."

The commander-in-chief looked at the screen, and after retrieving the data, his expression became even more gloomy. "Isn't this Dr. Gro's creation...?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to a short, chubby boy in the room, "If your product were to face your grandfather's android, what are its chances of winning?"

"Don't compare me to my grandfather. Times are changing. I don't like calling the androids I created 'products.' They are all superheroes I created."

Dr. Hyde said with displeasure, "Didn't you say you wanted me to help defeat the evil aliens? Why are you kidnapping children? This is not what a hero should do."

Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief felt somewhat embarrassed, and then made up some excuses to appease Dr. Hyde and calm him down.

Immediately afterwards, he beckoned his men to bring over all the people they had captured.

Before long, Lu Li, Xiao Fang, and Bula were led over, all of them handcuffed.

Oh, actually, Xiaofang's handcuffs were broken, but the foolish soldiers here didn't think anything of it, assuming it was a quality issue, and replaced them with new ones.

"Grandpa Lu Li, they are really wicked! They even kidnapped other children!"

Xiao Fang pointed at Dr. Hyde and shouted, naively thinking that the person opposite her was a chubby little boy.

Dr. Hyde's face instantly turned red with anger. Although he was short and stout and looked young, he was actually an adult. How could he tolerate being called a child? "Xiaofang, look closely. Although he looks short and stout, he is actually an adult. Maybe he's just underdeveloped."

Bra corrected him, saying that while it corrected Dr. Hyde's age, it only made Dr. Hyde angrier.

"You two brats..."

Dr. Hyde was furious and waved his arms and legs, but was held back by the Red Ribbon Army members, which calmed him down.

“Dr. Hyde, as you have seen, the descendants of evil aliens are so rude, so everything we do is for the sake of justice.”

The commander-in-chief of the Red Ribbon Army took the opportunity to continue deceiving Dr. Hyde, unaware that Dr. Hyde was not so foolish after all.

Dr. Hyde had long suspected something was amiss with the Red Ribbon Army, but he was skeptical about fighting evil aliens, and he also lacked research funding, so he simply agreed to the commander-in-chief's conditions to help develop androids.

The Red Ribbon Army was unaware that because they had deceived Dr. Hyde's basic premise, the androids Dr. Hyde created were actually superheroes with a sense of justice. Once their true nature was revealed, they would naturally face betrayal from the androids.

"Hey, who's this old man?"

After the commander-in-chief preached his righteous cause, he finally noticed Lu Li. "Didn't I tell you to kidnap a child? Why did you kidnap an old man instead?"

The reprimanded soldiers trembled with fear, but the group responsible for kidnapping Xiaofang still braced themselves and replied, "Commander-in-Chief, this old man was responsible for picking up and dropping off Xiaofang. I guess he might be the child's grandfather, or an older relative of hers, so we kidnapped him along as an extra bargaining chip."

The commander-in-chief thought it made sense; more hostages meant more leverage. So he smiled broadly, walked over, and patted the man on the shoulder, saying, "Well done, your bonus this month will be doubled."

The kidnapper immediately straightened his back and said, "Thank you, Commander!"

"Then let's start recording the video."

The commander-in-chief waved his hand and said to the soldiers in uniform and helmets, "Hey you newbie, what are you standing there for? Set up the studio and start filming."

The soldier paused for a moment, then came to his senses after two seconds. "Oh... I'll get right on it."

The soldier was actually stunned, because his true face was that of Bick, who had infiltrated the Red Ribbon Army headquarters.

He was surprised to hear that these people had kidnapped Xiaofang and Bulab when he arrived at the control room, and he was also a little worried, wondering how to rescue the two children later.

When Xiaofang and the others were led in, he saw an old man and was completely dumbfounded.

Unlike these humans, even though Lu Li had aged and his appearance had changed, Bick could not forget the terrifying aura emanating from him and recognized the white-haired old man as Lu Li at a glance.

Bick was a little confused for a moment, not understanding what was going on.

The Red Ribbon Army kidnapped children, but accidentally kidnapped the strongest force in the universe?
This dramatic turn of events left Bick at a loss for what to do, but he was eventually urged by the head coach to set up a film studio.

Lu Li watched the Red Ribbon Army's actions and didn't know where to begin criticizing them. They needed to set up a studio just to kidnap a child and film a threatening video?
Is this professional? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were taking children's portraits. The lighting, the angles—it's a waste of talent for photographers from the Red Ribbon Army to work here.

Xiao Fang was the first to go on stage. Because she had received instructions from Lu Li while she was in prison, she was prepared to cooperate with the performance. She sat on a high chair in the studio, pretending to be a weak little girl, with her hands clasped together, and acting coy and scared.

"Dad, Mom, I've been kidnapped! I'm so scared, waaaah... Please come and save me!"

Xiao Fang's acting was a bit stiff, but at least it still had the right feel to it.

But things were different when it came to Bra. Bra sat down in the studio and glared at the soldier who had carried her to the high chair. "Hmph, you dare to kidnap me? When my father comes back, you'll all be dead!"

The person filming was also intimidated by the little girl's fierce demeanor and felt somewhat uneasy. "Commander, is this kind of threatening video really okay?"

"As long as they confirm that the person is in our hands, that's fine. Hurry up, next one."

The commander-in-chief urged him impatiently.

Then it was Lu Li's turn. Lu Li cooperated by walking into the studio, sitting down in a chair, and smiling. To the Red Ribbon Army members, this smile could be described as having the kindness of an elderly person.

"Make sure you take a good picture of me."

Lu Li said with a smile.

The photographer was very professional; he immediately adjusted the camera angle and set the lighting to be suitable for filming elderly people, so they could "say something for help."

"Hmm... this is a bit difficult. I've never actually asked for help before, not since I was a child."

Lu Li raised his head slightly, as if thinking, "Let me think, what's the usual way to ask for help?"

"Are you mentally challenged, old man? Just like that girl from before, are you even worse than a child?!"

A soldier nearby shouted, "Speak quickly, don't waste our commander-in-chief's time."

Lu Li discovered that after three thousand years of seclusion, his temper had become unusually good. Perhaps it was due to his higher level of existence that he no longer felt angry at these people, but simply found them somewhat amusing.

He thought for a moment, then put on a serious expression and looked at the camera, "Gohan, Videl, Pan and I have been kidnapped. Please save us, please, I'm so scared."

"Pfft-"

Xiao Fang, who was trying not to laugh, couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. She pointed at Lu Li and laughed loudly, "Grandpa Lu Li's acting is so bad, even worse than mine."

"Yes, it's completely emotionless, monotone reading."

Bra nodded in agreement.

"Hey you guys, be serious! You've been kidnapped! Do you even know what's going on?!"

This time, even the commander-in-chief couldn't hold back anymore. He felt that these kids and old men were being too unruly, thinking, "Where do you think this is? Is it a summer camp?"

As he spoke, he gave the photographer a wink, saying, "Send the video out."

Meanwhile, Videl, who had just finished her work with Satan and was about to go home, received a message notification. When she opened it, she found two videos.

The first one was Xiaofang's video. After watching it, Bilibili even commented, "Xiaofang is so cute!"

After she clicked on the second video, she became a little nervous. Watching Lu Li seriously say that he was scared and asking for help made her look very strange.
