Zakir eventually agreed to Gu Zhongsheng's request.

In reality, he had no other choice.

"Since you insist, we can do without the other equipment, but the surgery may be very painful."

Gu Zhongsheng said indifferently, "Okay."

“But I have to wear glasses,” Zaker said, sounding troubled.

"You know how thin the threads Professor Simpson implanted around the heart were. If the internal structure wasn't visible, it could easily trigger a mechanism and cause an accident."

"Tsk, what a hassle." Gu Zhongsheng kicked over a chair and paced around the room in frustration.

Lin Zhenzhen noticed that his emotions seemed unusually unstable today. Could it be because...?

As expected, after a few moments of thought, Gu Zhongsheng turned to look at Zakir.

"Tonight is the night of the full moon. I have to perform surgery in ten hours. I don't have time to waste with you."

Zakir quickly replied, "It won't take up your time. I have a secluded property in the Western Theater Command's Kop Manor, not far from here."

"Because I occasionally go back there to do experiments, I keep a set of high-precision glasses in the room."

Gu Zhongsheng looked at him, the light shooting from his golden pupils cold and piercing.

"When you say these words, do you still remember that your family's lives are in my hands?"

"I know, I know," Zakir said, bowing his head meekly.

Gu Zhongsheng snorted coldly and went out, seemingly to send someone to infiltrate the Western Theater Command to retrieve the glasses.

Lin Zhenzhen was full of doubts. She raised her hand and tugged at Gu Bosheng's sleeve.

Zaker, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly spoke: "Aberrant species."

Lin Zhenzhen frowned: "What?"

Zaker's gray hair trembled, and his eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at her.

"Headquarters recently came to the lab with the latest report, saying that you were having an affair with a fox-like alien."

"I didn't believe it at first, but I never expected..."

"What didn't you think of?"

Lin Zhenzhen couldn't stand his disappointed look, so she stepped forward with her hands on her hips and said.

"You old geezer, who do you think you are?"

"Who are you to General Gu? A relative? A mentor? Or a friend? What gives you the right to lecture him like that!"

"And who are you to me? Why do you look at me with such condescension right from the start?"

"So what if they're mutants? Did they kill your wife? Did they eat your rice?"

Zakir clearly didn't expect that Lin Zhenzhen, who looked so gentle and weak, could be so imposing when she started cursing.

He has a chronic problem: he stutters when he's nervous.

"I...I...I am..."

"You, you, you're an idiot, a pig! If you're going to swear, keep your mouth shut and stop spouting nonsense that annoys people!"

Lin Zhenzhen unleashed a torrent of abuse at Zakir, then angrily grabbed Gu Bosheng's hand and dragged him outside.

“Wait…wait, number 9,” ​​Zack suddenly spoke up.

Gu Bosheng stopped in his tracks.

"I want to know, are you still loyal to humanity?"

Lin Zhenzhen felt the muscles in Gu Bosheng's arm suddenly tighten.

She looked up, a little nervous about what kind of answer he would give.

Gu Bosheng turned his head and quickly glanced at the person behind him.

Lin Zhenzhen saw his sharp jawline flash by like a blade.

Gu Bosheng merely glanced at Zakir indifferently.

Without leaving a single word, he strode out of the wooden house.

Lin Zhenzhen caught up with him: "General, what exactly is going on?"

"Why did Sheng have his heart removed? What did that old man mean by the implanted threads in his heart?"

"Also, why does Sheng insist on having this surgery tonight?"

"You have way too many questions."

Gu Zhongsheng suddenly jumped out from behind, a sinister smile on his face.

"Didn't I tell you? Curiosity killed the cat."

Lin Zhenzhen punched him and frowned, complaining.

"That's because you naturally have so many strange features."

Gu Zhongsheng caught the fist, which he considered harmless, with his hand.

He laughed and said, "Can't you just admit you care about me?"

"Who cares about you?" Lin Zhenzhen pouted. "I care about the General, okay?"

"Heh." Gu Zhongsheng released her hand, using a cold laugh to cover the desolation in his eyes.

He turned his head to look at Gu Bosheng: "What's your decision? Have you changed your mind?"

Gu Bosheng's expression remained unchanged: "My answer is still the same."

Are you sure?

Gu Zhongsheng's expression grew even colder.

"Sure."

"Do as you please," Gu Zhongsheng said expressionlessly. "I've already given you a chance. No matter what happens afterward, don't blame me."

Lin Zhenzhen was speechless.

Do these two have to keep playing cryptic games in front of her?

"That's right!" the system pig wiggled its butt. "That's really too much!"

Oh, you're still online? I was planning to give you a proper memorial service when this little world ended.

Lin Zhenzhen was already furious when the system popped up and spouted this nonsense, which just happened to hit her where it hurt.

After all, you've gone to so much trouble for me during this time we've been working together; you've really gone through a lot.

The system's wildly swaying buttocks froze, and a cold sweat broke out on its back.

Should I leave?

[Where are you going? What happened to the complete information card? All the strategies are based on imagination. Do you think I'm an actor or a screenwriter?]

"Oh well, I'll apply again."

The system, having been scolded, buried itself in its work and worked diligently.

Gu Bosheng and Gu Zhongsheng also reached a consensus.

Gu Bosheng said in a low voice, "Take good care of her."

Gu Zhongsheng gritted his teeth and replied, "I don't need you to remind me."

Lin Zhenzhen took a deep breath, then swallowed and said, "Gu Bosheng."

The people around her turned to look at Lin Zhenzhen with some surprise.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time she had ever called her own name.

Gu Zhongsheng forced himself to look away from Lin Zhenzhen and instead looked at Gu Bosheng opposite him.

"Hurry up and say goodbye properly."
