Chapter 67 Ambition
"Jiangxi, right? Don't be nervous, I just called you here because I want to ask you some questions."
The lawyer entered the office and met Zhang Yuanlong.
This person was different from what he had imagined; he seemed more easygoing. He waved his hand, signaling his men to leave first.
"It's me. What do you need me for?" Lu Zhi asked, feigning nervousness and sounding somewhat uneasy.
Were there any other people present when you met Zeng Fei yesterday?
As expected, Zhang Yuanlong approached the legal team precisely because of this matter.
The lawyer cultivated a straightforward persona for himself, stating directly, "No, if he wanted to do something indecent to me, why would he allow anyone else to be present?"
Zhang Yuanlong was speechless, unsure how to respond.
He took a closer look at Lu Zhi's face; it was indeed very pleasing, yet it also gave him an unapproachable feeling.
"I heard from your men that Zeng Fei is dead, right? He died a good death, but it's a bit strange that you've come to me." Lu Zhi's aura changed from the previous awkwardness to an undeniable sharpness. His long legs were crossed, and his ten fingers were clenched on his knees, giving people the feeling of an elite negotiator.
"Your acting is very good." Zhang Yuanlong tapped the table with a pen in his hand and said coldly, "I'm more curious about why you exposed yourself so quickly?"
"It's just for fun," Lu Zhi said flippantly.
“Zeng Fei’s death is related to you.” Zhang Yuanlong spoke with certainty. Perhaps because he was too confident, he didn’t call anyone from outside in at this moment, which gave the law enforcement officers an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
In an instant, Zhang Yuanlong saw a green light rushing towards him. He instinctively tried to block it, but failed. The green light seemed to enter his body.
"Cough cough cough." Lu Zhi covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then looked at his palm and sighed in his heart: Luckily, I didn't cough up blood this time.
The alien he devoured last time contained very strong energy, which not only strengthened his body but also made him adapt to it better. However, he always suppressed the surging power, and if he used too much, his body would still have adverse reactions. So he usually had to use it sparingly.
"Someone come here!" Zhang Yuanlong shouted to the outside.
The door opened directly, and the henchmen outside swarmed in, surrounding the lawyer.
But in the next second, Zhang Yuanlong's expression changed, and he held his forehead and waved his hand, saying, "You guys go out first."
His subordinates were completely bewildered. What was going on with the commander? He kept coming in and going out.
"Get out!" Zhang Yuanlong's tone became more fierce, and his men quickly left, closing the door behind them.
Lu Zhi snapped his fingers, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said, "How was it, Commander? Did you feel it?"
"Who exactly are you?" Zhang Yuanlong asked him through gritted teeth.
Lawyer: "That's not important."
Zhang Yuanlong looked fierce, his eyes filled with apprehension.
It's not important my ass!
He felt as if the superpowers in his body were being controlled by something, and he couldn't use them at all. Moreover, there were many unfamiliar powers in his mental sea, just like spiritual power.
"Clap clap clap." Lu Zhi clapped his hands, waking Zhang Yuanlong from his reverie, and said casually, "I just want to ask you a few things."
"You tell me." Zhang Yuanlong had no choice but to submit to his tyranny, but in his heart he was thinking about how to resolve the strangeness in his body and then kill this man.
"You'd better put away those meaningless thoughts in your mind." As if he could read minds, Lu Zhi spoke his mind aloud, then continued, "Does your plundering have anything to do with the New Generation?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanlong's expression changed drastically. Even though he didn't say anything, Lu Zhi knew the answer, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.
"It seems so, and the relationship is quite unusual." The lawyer didn't even wait for him to speak; he started speculating based on just one reaction. "Are the people behind your two organizations the same group?"
"Why did you investigate these things?" Zhang Yuanlong evaded his question.
"I have a grudge against both plundering and the new generation."
As Lu Zhi stood up, Zhang Yuanlong immediately became wary, but could only sit helplessly in his chair, watching Lu Zhi approach his desk, then place his hands on it, lower his body, exuding a strong sense of oppression, his deep green eyes unfathomable.
“If you don’t want your brain to be invaded, then tell me obediently,” Lu Zhi said in a low voice.
Cold sweat trickled down Zhang Yuanlong's forehead; the powerful supernatural ability made it difficult for him to breathe.
About an hour later, the anxious subordinates outside heard the door open, and saw Lu Zhi walk out unharmed and leisurely.
They quickly went to check on Zhang Yuanlong in the office. He seemed normal enough, but something just felt off.
"Let him go." Zhang Yuanlong spoke, and no one dared to stop Lu Zhi from leaving.
After leaving the building, Lu Zhi looked somewhat solemn.
Plunder and the new generation are indeed of the same ilk.
The New Generation is responsible for experimenting on, researching, and manipulating the alien species, while the Plunderers are responsible for providing them with alien species and superhumans. The New Generation also gives the crystal cores they take from the alien species to the Plunderers' members, forming a closed loop.
The main base for the raids is at Base One, or rather, the entire Base One might be problematic. Zhang Yuanlong said that Base One is preparing weapons and troops, and they have already silently cleared out and reclaimed the cities in the north. They seem to be planning to occupy the land and become kings, and even arranging the raids at the Azure Dragon Base is also in order to one day occupy it. As for the Huaxia Base, they are waiting for the right time to take action.
The new generation's headquarters is on an unnamed island in the South China Sea, where there is one of the world's most advanced experimental facilities. It is said that the equipment is supplied to them by people from the United States.
Compared to Qinglong Base, foreigners make up as much as 60% of the population at Base One.
Even the law enforcement officer, an outsider, felt that the person who made this decision could not be a Chinese.
There is reasonable suspicion that something may have happened to Guan Qi, the original leader of Base One.
Lu Zhi walked on absentmindedly, not even noticing the people appearing in front of him.
Just as he was about to collide with the person in front of him, his instinctive reaction was to lock their throat. The vines moved on his wrists, as if to wrap them around the person's neck. But the next second, his hand moved to the back of the person's neck, gathered their hair, and forcefully pulled them into his arms.
"Why are you here?" he asked lazily, holding her in his arms.
Passenger: "How is it?"
Lu Zhi pouted unhappily and said, "Isn't my concern for you the first thing you do?"
The attendant frowned and said, "Doesn't this count?"
"No, no," Lu Zhi snorted softly, then said in a coquettish tone, "You should ask me questions like, 'How are you? Are you hurt?' Understand?"
The passenger didn't understand and remarked that he had a lot of problems.
He pried Lu Zhi's hands off him and repeated expressionlessly, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
"Heh." Lu Zhi couldn't help but chuckle softly. "It's nothing, I'm not injured. We'll talk about it when we get back."
"This matter may be more serious than we imagine." He spoke in the most relaxed tone, yet with the utmost seriousness.
