"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guard left, while Xu Liangshi gazed worriedly at the dust and smoke billowing overhead.
"Father, do you suspect that Xu Ruolan fired both Eight-Level Soul Guidance Cannon Shells?"
Xu Ruocheng asked.
Xu Liangshi nodded. "Those two Eight-Level Soul Guidance Cannon Shells most likely came from the self-defense system aboard her airship, but she might not have been the one who decided to fire them."
After saying that, he lowered his head and pondered. "That girl did have a fight with me before she left, but no matter how spoiled and willful she is, she wouldn't attack her own home with Eight-Level Soul Guidance Cannon Shells."
Xu Ruocheng frowned. "Father, do you mean Xu Ruolan was taken hostage?"
"That's very possible. By the way, was the protective shield damaged?"
"The central region wasn't, but we'll need some time before we receive the monitoring data from the remote regions. Besides, the shield repairs itself very quickly, which may make the data inaccurate."
Xu Liangshi nodded.
Just then, the guard who had left earlier ran back. He handed an airship record to Xu Liangshi and another set of monitoring data to Xu Ruocheng.
"At 9:25 this morning, airship number 0000..."
Xu Liangshi closed the booklet and took a deep breath. That was exactly when the city had been bombed, and the owner of that airship was Xu Ruolan.

"Father..."
At that moment, Xu Ruocheng looked up at Xu Liangshi, surprise flickering across his face.
"What is it?"
"The remote monitoring data is in. The protective shield along part of the southeastern coast suffered severe damage ten days ago, five days ago, and again early this morning. Gaps appeared each time, but they repaired themselves within three minutes."
Xu Ruocheng's report made Xu Liangshi's expression
