Faced with Dang Liantao's surprised gaze, Wang Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong? Has the security level of this research project been raised? Even I, a researcher involved in the project, can't see it anymore?"

'I'll study you, you big idiot!'

Dang Liantao originally intended to say that, but he stopped himself in time after seeing Wang Zheng's smug and handsome face.

Seeing Wang Zheng's infuriatingly arrogant expression, he wanted nothing more than to kick the kid to death, but then he thought that he was probably no match for this guy, so he reluctantly gave up.

Then the old party member said with an annoyed expression:

"The Commander-in-Chief was going to Nanjing University to visit Principal Chu and planned to take you with him. But after he had just finished greeting Commander Sun and Old Gu, you disappeared without a trace."

"If Xiao Li hadn't spotted you heading this way and caught up with you in time, would you have expected the Commander-in-Chief to wait for you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng immediately stopped in his tracks, almost causing Dang Liantao, who was holding him, to stumble.

Old Dang tugged twice but couldn't budge it. He turned around and saw Wang Zheng looking at him warily. He then directly refused:

"Why would he ask me to come along? He's going to Nanjing University to offer his condolences; does he expect me to lead the way since he doesn't know the way? I'm not going!"

Seeing Wang Zheng's appearance, Dang Liantao covered his face in anguish.

"Commander Li specifically requested that you accompany him. This shows that the leadership values ​​you. This is a blessing that many people would rather die for... You..."

Seeing Wang Zheng's indifferent expression, completely ignoring what he was hearing, Dang Liantao stopped caring and turned to leave.

"Fine, you're so tough. If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll see if he sends one of his grandmasters to invite you personally later. Are you still going then?"

...

With a pained expression, Wang Zheng dragged his heavy steps to the entrance of the administration building.

Although he tried every possible way to escape along the way, he ultimately rejected them one by one.

Why is he so resistant?

Without even thinking, Li Guofeng, this big shot, must be quite unhappy that he was tricked out of a demon king's inner core by his own words... ugh! He was tricked by his own art of language.

Even if someone is genuinely magnanimous and doesn't show it in the military region, you'll definitely suffer the consequences when you're alone with them.

And even if this big shot doesn't care, he'll definitely be asked all sorts of questions on the way.

For example, why can you enter the semi-divine state? Did you inherit some kind of memory? As a healer, why did you awaken a manifestation of incompatible abilities? Do you have some kind of cultivation technique? Are you disappointed with the government? And so on.

Although Master Yanhao had provided excuses for the first few questions, Wang Zheng hadn't come up with a good one for the follow-up.

He knew full well that one lie would require countless more to cover it up, and that if he told too many lies, he would eventually be exposed.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you say nothing, you make no mistakes. Therefore, he was unwilling to have much contact with Li Guofeng.

Moreover, his special circumstances couldn't withstand scrutiny. If this big shot really became suspicious of him and started watching him, he would feel uneasy in the future, even if he did nothing.

As for his questions and opinions about the national government, he certainly has them.

Not only that, he even wanted to scan Commander Li of the Chinese military to see his attributes, and then ask him about the information the country had hidden, to see how much the capital knew about the Heavenly Court of the previous spiritual era.

But he didn't dare ask...

Sigh~

Wang Zheng sighed and groaned like a walking corpse, mechanically being dragged forward by Dang Liantao.

He hadn't expected that in just a few minutes of meeting, this big shot from the capital would actually be interested in him.

Although I did act somewhat deliberately in order to secure benefits for the principal.

To appease this big shot's temper, I tried to act more pleasing in his presence.

But he only wanted the benefits; he had no interest in gaining the commander-in-chief's attention at all...

Even the longest road eventually comes to an end, and besides, the research institute isn't that far from the administration building.

When Wang Zheng arrived at the entrance of the administration building with a reluctant expression, Old Gu rushed up and gave him a good scolding.

Commander Sun didn't seem to care that much, but he told Wang Zheng to keep him company and not to cause any more trouble, lest he displease the Commander-in-Chief.

In fact, Wang Zheng understood perfectly well. This guy was shrewd and knew how to adapt to different situations. Despite his seemingly audacious behavior in his previous conversation with Li Guofeng, he had actually figured out the big boss's personality and acted according to his preferences.

Otherwise, do you really think that demon king's inner core is so easy to obtain...?

Just as Wang Zheng looked aggrieved, Commander-in-Chief Li Guofeng chuckled and helped him out of the predicament.

"It's normal for young people not to be interested in listening to us old folks talk, so please don't blame him."

Then he turned to Wang Zheng and said:

"Major Wang, come on over here. Come ride with me and tell me all about your amazing exploits in Yunnan. I'm really interested in you..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng looked up at the sky, his face filled with utter despair.

"This isn't right, I..."

Meanwhile, Lao Dang and Gu Lao, among others, felt it was a great honor. Hearing Wang Zheng still stammering, Professor Gu Min was so angry that his beard trembled, and he raised his cane to hit him on the head.

Commander Sun stopped him and helped Wang Zheng into the car.
