Upon hearing Tang Shan's arrogant words, the situation suddenly became very delicate.
Elder Gu and Grandmaster Yan Hao opposite him were clearly somewhat displeased, but since one represented the Jingnan Military Region and the other the Special Affairs Bureau, it was not appropriate for them to speak directly.
As for the other two, Tang Guoan, the leader, merely frowned, while the other professor from the research institute showed no expression whatsoever.
Taking in everyone's expressions, Wang Zheng's mind began to race.
'It seems that the leader of this special investigation team might be in cahoots with the Imperial Capital Research Institute.'
Wang Zheng could understand the loyalty of these two from the Imperial Research Institute, but Tang Guoan from the military region...
Given the current situation, Wang Zheng could understand it. The military headquarters and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, two behemoths, had long since formed the same center of interest during the decades of spiritual energy revival, so it was not surprising that they were now on the same side.
However, Wang Zheng couldn't understand what Tangshan's purpose was in suddenly jumping out to cause trouble. Was it another case of playing good cop and bad cop?
That shouldn't be the case. Even if they're incredibly stupid, they should know that I'm not someone to mess with right now, and I have Old Chu and the Jingnan Military Region backing me up...
Oh, right!
Wang Zheng suddenly remembered the expert team from the capital who had died at the hands of Ruan Ruan and her group; the team leader seemed to be named Tang Guofu.
Wang Zheng's eyes quickly swept over Tang Guoan, who was bowing his head and remaining silent. Looking at him, the two did indeed look somewhat alike.
If that's the case, then the identity of Tang Shan, the ordinary person who immediately started mocking him upon meeting him, becomes quite obvious.
Wang Zheng quietly stopped Chu Tianxing from losing his temper under the table, then turned his head to look at him with a smile.
"Oh, so this is Director Tang? I admit that the three people you mentioned are all very important, but then what are you? What gives you the right to sit here?"
Then, before the guy could speak, Wang Zheng continued:
"I see that this Director Tangshan has a dark complexion and a deep sense of melancholy between his brows. I'm afraid he doesn't have long to live."
"I am not very talented, but I have secretly learned a few divination techniques. Although I haven't studied them thoroughly, I do have some subtleties. How about we make a bet: whether you can make it back to the capital alive?"
"Wang Zheng!"
"Major Wang!"
...
Seeing that both Mr. Gu and Tang Guoan across from him spoke at the same time, Wang Zheng casually waved his hand.
"Just kidding, no need to be so nervous."
However, I hope that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry will jump out and mock me.
Major General Tang, if you have my information, you should know that I'm not quite mentally sound.
Provoking me casually might not be a good thing, especially since I'm not exactly weak right now..."
After saying that, Wang Zheng turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Tang Shan on the other side.
"I don't need to bear any legal responsibility, Director Tang, who is still unawakened..."
That's right, Wang Zheng was threatening this director from the Imperial Capital Research Institute, who was likely Tang Guoan's junior.
Today, Wang Zheng is no longer the weakling who had just awakened. He has his own strength and backing, so he has confidence.
Moreover, Wang Zheng's backing doesn't just refer to the Jingnan Military Region...
Moreover, Yan Hao and Tang Guoan on the other side are basically the same kind of people. Even if they are, Wang Zheng is not that afraid of him, who is a grandmaster. If he is really provoked, the big shots of the military region will not need to take action. He will let him know what an ancient ferocious beast is!
Under Wang Zheng's sarcastic remarks, Tang Shan's expression immediately changed, and he then began his performance.
Tang Shan understood very well that he was just an ordinary person. Although he had gotten into the research institute through his father's connections, he ultimately had no resources to fight against a powerful awakened individual like Wang Zheng.
So he immediately performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act, crying and complaining to Tang Guoan, who was in charge:
"I admit that I, Tang Shan, am just an ordinary person who can't awaken. I don't have any talent in the academic field. I am indeed a useless person."
But my father dedicated his whole life to researching for the country, and in the end he ended up like this. I feel aggrieved and I am not convinced!
Uncle, all I want is justice!
Wang Zheng insulted my father first, and then my father died tragically in a foreign land for the sake of the people of Jingnan. Today, he threatened me in front of everyone. I hope the Jingnan Military Region will give me an explanation.
Seeing Tang Guoan's face turn ashen instantly, Wang Zheng sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, Tang Shan and Tang Guoan are both related to Tang Guofu, who came to Jingnan before.
Wang Zheng just didn't expect that they might be underestimating him, or that they simply didn't take his value seriously.
But that doesn't make sense. Xu Zhihong said that the country attaches great importance to the "spiritual energy grenade" project, and many grandmasters have been mobilized, but the results of the test were only so-so.
Or do they really think that because they come from the capital, they will definitely back down?
Wang Zheng couldn't understand the thoughts of these so-called important figures, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
However, since the Jingnan Military Region was involved, Wang Zheng found it difficult to speak and instead turned his gaze to Elder Gu, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Although Professor Gu Min disliked this reckless fellow, he was, after all, the representative of Jingnan, so she could only frown and ask:
"Director Tang, how do you want us to explain this to you?"
Tang Shan must have been planning this for a long time, having already prepared his response in his mind. He replied without hesitation:
“Wang Zheng is from your military region, so our Imperial Capital Research Institute has no jurisdiction over him. You can handle it yourselves. But we must recover the Heavenly Demons who killed my father, as well as my father’s research results!”
"That's strange. Although I am indeed old, I am not completely senile. How come I don't know that your father has any research achievements, especially in our Jingnan Military Region?"
Tangshan, utterly shameless, continued to spout nonsense.
“Sun Hu, the instigator of the Jingnan mutant incident, and the remaining three mutants are all related to the research of my father before his death.”
