Meanwhile, Li Sang was in another safe place, where she saw the message sent by the butler.

He even brought along a holographic image of Lu Jin'an attacking his own key weapon.

He raised an eyebrow at Gu Zhilin, who was bound hand and foot in front of him: "It seems that Lu Jinan really cares about you. I've watched him grow up, and this is the first time I've seen him act so impulsively."

The man's smile had a sinister quality.

Gu Zhilin understood that this person was much more difficult to deal with than the previous Zheng Ying.

At the same time, he also learned that Lu Jin'an was looking for him, so he didn't need to worry too much. He believed that Lu Jin'an was capable enough to find him soon.

Looking at the bracelet on Gu Zhilin's hand, Li Sang realized that Zheng Ying had actually wronged him this time.

Because the people sent to pick up Gu Zhilin were unaware of the bracelet's existence, its signal was exposed as soon as they left the basement.

Fortunately, the people in charge reacted quickly and used a jammer, so the signal only stayed at the 'Natural Barrier' headquarters.

“Lu Jin’an even gave you this bracelet. To be honest, if Zheng Ying weren’t one of my people, and you weren’t facing me right now, this bracelet would actually be of great help.” Li Sang sneered.

"It's a pity you've met me now. Is this what you Taoists call destiny?"

Gu Zhilin looked up at him but did not answer.

"Don't look at me like that. I've already checked your information. You're from ancient times, and your profession is a Taoist priest."

"I never expected that you would be the computer's predicted best partner for Lu Jin'an. I wonder if Lu Jin'an sees you as a partner or a companion?" Li Sang's smile always made people feel very uncomfortable.

He speaks in a gentle and soft voice, but there's something sinister about him.

Gu Zhilin even felt that even if this person was smiling, he could kill him with a smile the next second if he wanted to.

"What exactly do you want?" Gu Zhilin knew that the other party's identity was definitely not simple, so he could only take the initiative to ask.

"You're a smart man. To be honest, capturing you was an accident. I really didn't know that Lu Jin'an had actually found a suitable partner. If Zheng Ying hadn't captured you, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything to you. Now... since you've fallen into my hands, it means that fate is on my side. So... are you willing to follow fate and stand on my side?" It was a friendly invitation, but Gu Zhilin felt like he was being lured by a poisonous snake.

"I don't even know who you are." Gu Zhilin didn't answer but instead asked his own question.

“My name is Li Sang, and I am the head of one of the four major families of the Earth Alliance,” Li Sang explained kindly.

Gu Zhilin knew about the four major families, but he had no idea which families were actually involved.

But obviously, by some twist of fate, he now knows about two families: one is Lu Jin'an's Lu family, and the other is this Li Sang's Li family.

What incredible luck I have!

“Our Li family is mainly responsible for medical research in the Earth Alliance, so we don’t have much involvement with the military. The biggest overlap is the Zheng Ying Aircraft Club’s funding of early military trainees. But now, because of you, Zheng Ying has been ruined. So… Mr. Gu, are you willing to compensate me with a pawn?”

Gu Zhilin looked at the man in front of him. He looked younger than Zheng Ying, but was obviously older than Lu Jin'an.

There was a strong sense of oppression emanating from him.

He spoke politely, but his eyes were as cold as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Are you referring to me as a chess piece?"

Li Sang smiled happily: "What else? You're Lu Jin'an's partner. As long as you're willing to stand on our side, I think it will be much easier to get information from the military."

Gu Zhilin then realized that the reason this person had brought him along was to win him over.

He sneered, "So, Mr. Li, is this how you invite people to cooperate in such a crude way?"

“There’s no other way. I don’t think I can invite Mr. Gu without going this way, after all, Mr. Gu is quite capable.” Li Sang shrugged.

Gu Zhilin took a deep breath: "Since you know, you should also be very clear that I am standing by Lu Jin'an's side."

At this moment, Li Sang narrowed her eyes dangerously: "So Mr. Gu is rejecting me?"

"Obviously." Despite being tied up, Gu Zhilin shrugged, appearing indifferent.

Li Sang's smile vanished, and he snorted coldly, "The information I found suggests that you, Mr. Gu, may have radiation sickness?"

Gu Zhilin subconsciously sensed danger and looked up at the other person.

Sure enough, the next second the man smiled in a half-smile: "I'm not like trash like Zheng Ying. I don't like to fight people, it's not elegant. But since I've met someone like Mr. Gu, I have to let you know my strength. So... please go and experience the cosmic radiation, Mr. Gu."

The moment after he finished speaking, Gu Zhilin was restrained by several robots and forced to walk out.

He recalled that when he first woke up, he thought everything would be fine once his stomach cancer was cured, but he never expected that when he walked out of the room...

The instant it received cosmic radiation.

His entire body began to ache with excruciating pain, and he could barely move.

He was being pushed outside, and although he was nervous, he was not flustered.

After all, I just received treatment a few days ago and am still within the protective effect period, so I don't need to worry about cosmic radiation.

But the next second, someone took out a box of reagents and injected it into him.

He realized his body was unprotected because he could now feel the pain from cosmic radiation on his skin.

I thought they would leave me outdoors to fend for myself.

Unexpectedly, they led him through a courtyard and into a dimly lit room.

The moment he entered the room, he felt his radiation sickness worsen, and he began to feel so much pain that he could not walk.

Finally, the robot threw it into the room.

Gu Zhilin lay on the ground, his whole body aching so badly he felt like he wanted to die.

But he still gritted his teeth and looked up to observe his surroundings. Only then did he realize that there was a huge rock in the middle of the room, which looked like a meteorite or something similar.

The intense cosmic radiation in this room must be emanating from this stone.

He gritted his teeth and tried to get up, looking for an exit, but the moment he stood up, he fell to the ground because of the intense pain in his skin.

This was a pain he had never experienced before.

The hardships I endured while practicing martial arts as a child seem far too easy now.

At first, he experienced intense pain, so much so that he could only lie on the ground and initially let out cries of agony.

But after a while, he couldn't even make a sound.

He wanted to get as far away from the meteorite as possible to minimize his exposure to cosmic radiation, but he found that the radiation in the room was very strong no matter how far away he was.

Gu Zhilin, who had never been so embarrassed, regretted for the first time his carelessness in drinking the drugged beverage.
