Chapter 718 I'm a researcher, after all.



After Wang Zheng said goodbye to Chu Tianxing, he drove straight back to the military region, registered and returned the vehicle, and then the stay-at-home husband who was there to pick up his wife from get off work arrived at the door.

After returning home with his parents, Wang Zheng figured he didn't have anything else to do for the next few days, so he increased his agility a bit.

Then he began to experience the pain of being crushed by the mountains at home.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Zheng also learned from Dang Liantao of the military region that Fu Zhenfeng had been cured under his holy light magic and had gone north to the capital that very night.

Wang Zheng recalled Chu Tianxing's meaningful look at that time and guessed that there might be some hidden story behind it.

Perhaps it's because of the reconstruction of Baoshan City, or perhaps it's to retaliate against the invading demon king, who knows?

But none of this matters to him anymore.

During the phone call, Dang Liantao also informed Wang Zheng that Xu Zhihong and his people from Yunnan had just left that morning when people from the Imperial Military Region, the Special Affairs Bureau, and the Imperial Research Institute arrived.

They are currently staying at the military region and have requested that they notify Wang Zheng to invite him over to assist with the investigation.

"It's finally here. I thought the capital city really didn't care about these 'spiritual energy grenades' anymore."

Speaking of Lao Xu's hasty arrival this time, could it be because he received some intelligence that he rushed over? That's not very nice of him; he didn't even inform me beforehand.

"But why wasn't Old Man Chu notified in the capital? Why did they only call me?"

Upon hearing this news, Wang Zheng frowned deeply and muttered to himself.

He is now both excited and worried.

The excitement stemmed from the prospect of using his performance in Yunnan to negotiate a profitable deal with the other party, while the worry came from the fear that his unusual behavior might be exposed, attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Fortunately, the people from the capital were very sensible and settled directly in the military region. They had Lao Dang help inform Wang Zheng, which saved Wang Zheng some trouble.

After all, these bigwigs from the capital neither contacted him proactively nor through Chu Tianxing; instead, they arranged the meeting through an official request from the military region.

In Wang Zheng's view, this at least represents a certain degree of goodwill.

At first, Wang Zheng planned to use the excuse that he was going to Yunnan on a mission from the Jingnan Military Region and wanted to set the meeting place at the Jingnan Military Region, thinking he could use its name to gain influence.

He was afraid that if something went wrong, the injured principal wouldn't be able to protect himself and would instead implicate him.

Unexpectedly, the people from the capital went directly to the military region. Does that mean they didn't take their transformation too seriously and have some understanding of it, since someone of them has already unlocked [Heaven and Earth Transformation]?

Or perhaps even if they don't understand, they don't intend to put pressure on themselves, but instead want to learn more about the situation?

This made Wang Zheng feel a little more at ease.

Since it concerned his principal's recovery, Wang Zheng didn't delay. As soon as he received the call, he greeted his father, then went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Nanjing University.

The familiar walls and training grounds were there. When Wang Zheng rushed into the martial arts hall, he saw Chu Tianxing leisurely drinking tea. He felt a sense of admiration for the old man.

His composure in the face of both honor and disgrace truly embodies the demeanor of a great man.

Chu Tianxing glanced at Wang Zheng and began to lecture him:

"Always so clumsy and reckless, what kind of behavior is this! Didn't I tell you not to come over unless it's absolutely necessary? What are you doing here again! Disturbing my cultivation..."

Wang Zheng was speechless, his mouth agape, and he blurted out something.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought your injury would actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Putting everything else aside, you've certainly developed some self-cultivation skills. No wonder Teacher Chu said it was a good thing. I knew it..."

In short, I turned the president of Nanjing University into Pikachu, giving me 100,000 volts of electricity for my love!

Chu Tianxing was furious with this kid, so he immediately used his electric shock technique. Anyway, he knew that Wang Zheng's physical strength was very high now, so nothing would happen to him.

"Spit it out if you have something to say, and get lost if you don't. What are you doing coming here every few days? I'm not going to die!"

They're back, they're all back.

Wang Zheng's face was ashen. Looking at the irritable old man Chu in front of him, he felt relieved. He casually cast a holy light spell on himself and said directly:

"A joint task force from the Capital Military Region, the Special Affairs Bureau, and the Research Institute Headquarters has come to southern Beijing and asked me to go to the military region to assist in the investigation. Principal, are you aware of this?"

Chu Tianxing nodded.

"Go ahead and go, what's the big deal? It's in the military region, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing Old Man Chu's expression of making a mountain out of a molehill, Wang Zheng was filled with disappointment and frustration. He really had no way to deal with his own principal.

"My son and I have saved quite a few people in Yunnan, haven't we? We contributed a lot to this incident, didn't we?"

Chu Tianxing nodded.

"I can leave my story aside for now, but you have to go along and play the victim."

You have rendered meritorious service to Yunnan and shed blood for the country. Now that someone has come, you call me over. What does that mean?

Oh~ So you want to know the secret of fighting above your level from me, and you're after the new technology I discovered. Just pretend your injury never happened. What are you thinking!

I came to ask you to come along. Have you forgotten what Elder Gu said? There's a high chance that there are rare and precious herbs in the capital that can help you recover sooner. Let's go and make some money off them..."

Hearing Wang Zheng's arrogant and nonsensical words, Chu Tianxing frowned.
