Upon hearing Wang Zheng directly name names, the awakened one, whom Tang Guofu referred to as Major Pei, also spoke up.

"Lieutenant Wang, calm down. Don't be impulsive. I'm just a nobody who has just entered the A-level ranks. How could I dare to fight you?"

I had heard many tales of you before I came, and seeing you today, I can confirm your youthful spirit and dashing appearance. It truly is a case of seeing is believing.

The bizarre scene of the major from the capital city smiling obsequiously at the lieutenant from Jingnan stunned everyone present.

Others may not know Major Pei Yuan's strength, but the members of the expert team are very clear about it.

Seeing that even Pei Yuan, the strongest fighter, had yielded to the young man in front of him, everyone realized that something was amiss, and their shouts and curses gradually subsided.

Wang Zheng pretended not to notice the subtle sarcasm in the major's tone, snorted coldly, and continued to act like a clueless fool.

Taking this opportunity, Pei Yuan leaned close to Tang Guofu's ear and briefly introduced Wang Zheng's strength to him.

He didn't go into detail about Wang Zheng's exploits in Yunnan, but simply said, "The other side is far stronger than me. If a conflict really breaks out, no one here can deal with him."

This finally calmed down Old Man Tang, who was so angry he was about to vomit blood.

As for Wang Zheng, now that the pretense of politeness has been completely broken, he no longer needs to feign politeness.

It wasn't that he intentionally acted so arrogantly; there were his own considerations hidden within.

First of all, Wang Zheng really had no liking for this arrogant and ambitious old man.

Instead of helping the citizens of Jingnan resolve this mutant crisis, they focused all their attention on this demonic energy.

Secondly, Wang Zheng also realized that the major who was acting as Tang's bodyguard was not one of Tang's people at all. Judging from his current spectator-like demeanor, he might be from the Imperial Capital Military Region.

If we follow this line of thinking, Wang Zheng first needs to correct his attitude.

Because no matter how he openly competes with the Imperial Capital Research Institute, at the very least he is helping the Jingnan Military Region, and as long as he is helping the military region, it means that his heart is with China.

In that case, no matter how unpleasant things get between him and the research institute, his identity as a Chinese soldier will be established.

Moreover, Wang Zheng also displayed his personality, showing his extremely unapproachable side. He was young and impetuous, achieved success at a young age, acted impulsively, and did not consider the consequences.

There's an old saying that goes, "If you're not spirited, are you even a young person?"

The more flaws he reveals, the more reassured the country will be.

Although all of this was just Wang Zheng's own speculation, it was always good to be on the safe side. Wang Zheng didn't believe that after causing such a commotion in Yunnan, the capital would not send anyone over in the end.

As for whether the major in front of him was using the guise of protecting the expert team to come to Jingnan to observe him first, who can say for sure? Wang Zheng just assumed that was the case.

And even if he wasn't, the various signs he displayed during this mutant incident would definitely have reached the office of the Special Affairs Bureau of the Imperial Capital Military Region...

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, vehicles from the Jingnan Military Region finally drove into the dock in the distance.

Soon, the still energetic Old Master Gu walked over quickly, accompanied by Li Li.

People in the capital may not be familiar with this bigwig in the Heavenly Demon Realm, but they will definitely recognize this face.

Even if they dared to go in, I could just throw them out.

So when Wang Zheng saw Professor Gu Min coming, he stopped blocking them, quickly stomped out the candle flames on the ground, and then ran to meet her.

"Oh dear, Mr. Gu, why did you come in person? You could have just let Xiao Li handle this little matter. Those guys lying in the warehouse are quite strong. If something happens to you, I can't take the responsibility."

Professor Gu Min found it amusing to watch Wang Zheng clown around, so she picked up her cane and lightly tapped his buttocks twice.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What could possibly happen to me? Besides, you're still here. Do you lack confidence in me, or in yourself?"

After that, Gu Min ignored Wang Zheng and instead turned to look at the expert team formed in the capital.

He glanced at Tang Guofu indifferently, then said calmly, as if locking his throat:

"There's nothing for you here, so you should leave now. I'll personally talk to the Imperial Capital Research Institute, so don't get in the way."

However, before you leave, I have something I'd like to say to you that may not be pleasant to hear.

"Do what you're here for in Jingnan. Don't meddle in things that aren't your business, and don't have any inappropriate thoughts. As for the research data on the mutants, I will send it back later, so you don't need to worry about it."

Tang Guofu naturally recognized Gu Min's identity and cursed inwardly.

'This old man is so old, why didn't he stay in the military region and enjoy his retirement? He actually came all this way himself. I really made a mistake this time.'

Tang Guofu knew that with the arrival of this national treasure-level figure, who was on par with his teacher, he knew he had no chance of getting anything out of it.

What's more, there's also Wang Zheng, a powerful figure who doesn't play by the rules and has a "I'm going to fight you to the death" attitude.
