As the leader spoke, everyone present focused their attention on the two people.
Lu Chengchuan, one of the parties involved, was not at all panicked. He slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhao Huaiyi.
Zhao Huaiyi had held a high position for many years, and he had developed an air of authority that would make most people uneasy if they were looked at in this way. In the past, Lu Chengchuan would never have met an official of this rank in his life.
But now it’s different. It’s not Lu Chengchuan who wants to see him, but people who want to see him.
"I am."
Lu Chengchuan replied with two words and continued to look at the person.
As soon as he said this, Zhou Yaning next to him couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his brows.
She didn't understand whether Lu Chengchuan was pretending to be ignorant or he really didn't know the social skills at the dinner table. A senior leader spoke to you, but you only replied with two words, and in a very cold tone.
These two words stunned everyone present, and even the person who asked the question did not expect him to answer like this.
Lu Chengchuan didn't care about that. If Zhou Yaning hadn't been persuading him at the Investigation Bureau, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all.
Why spend time looking for monsters? In today's world, improving your strength is the most important thing.
His attitude and tone made the room a little awkward, but Zhao Huaiyi and Qin Mingguang were both smart and experienced, and they quickly changed the topic to something else.
They changed the topic to the black fog and the cult. After more than half a month of efforts, they managed to prevent those lunatics from succeeding.
As the highest leader of Donghai City, Zhao Huaiyi came out to treat these "heroes" to a meal and praise them.
At the end of the dinner, Zhao Huaiyi and Qin Mingguang suddenly said they wanted to chat with Lu Chengchuan alone. The secretary and He Yan said nothing and left the room.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that you are not a mutant."
There were only three of them left in the box. Lu Chengchuan sat in his original seat waiting for the two men to speak. The two looked at each other, and Qin Mingguang asked the first question.
"Yes, I am a martial artist." Lu Chengchuan nodded in admission.
There was no need to hide this fact. In the eyes of the superpowers, he was just like an ordinary person. These two people were in high positions, and their information had probably been read by everyone.
"You were still in the hospital a few months ago. What caused you to become like this?"
After he admitted it, Qin Mingguang asked the second question.
This question was even more direct. Both of them had read Lu Chengchuan's information. Before the monster appeared, this man was lying in bed every day. But when the monster appeared, he suddenly got up and became so strong. Only a fool would believe that there was no secret.
"I can't say that." Lu Chengchuan's answer was also very direct.
Qin Mingguang was stunned for a moment, and his tone became very serious: "What can't be said?"
"Director Qin, that person doesn't allow me to tell anyone, so don't ask too many questions." Lu Chengchuan made up an excuse. He didn't care whether the two believed it or not.
"Mr. Lu, we just want to help you. You don't have to be so wary of us."
Zhao Huaiyi next to him also came out and said something.
Both of them tried to persuade him to speak, but Lu Chengchuan just narrowed his eyes and looked at them expressionlessly.
Just one glance, and the two people who were waiting for an answer suddenly felt their scalps tingling, and a very bad feeling surged from their hearts. The feeling came and went quickly, but both of them were frightened.
Zhao Huaiyi's expression was a little frightened. It was the first time in all these years that he showed such an expression.
"You two, if you can't tell me, then you can't tell me. Don't ask any more questions."
Lu Chengchuan's tone was still as cold. He was not afraid that these two people would cause him trouble in the future. Now was different from before. The personal fighting power was much different than before.
His meaning was very clear, and both of them could hear it, so after hearing this sentence, their expressions were somewhat interesting.
No one has spoken to them like this since ten years ago.
Although the political struggle was brutal, everyone was still "one family" on the surface, and spoke in a very "friendly" manner. Unlike Lu Chengchuan, he almost made a direct threat.
But people have the confidence to say this, Lu Chengchuan's strength can be said to be the strongest in the country, or even the world.
They have watched the video and visited the scene to observe the traces of fighting. They would even believe that the scene was caused by a construction team who came to demolish the house. It was simply not something that could be caused by human power.
Witnesses also said that they fired countless bullets and even used small grenades, but they were unable to do anything to these two inhuman creatures.
Strength is the capital for negotiation. Some people’s strength comes from money, some from relationships, and some from guns.
Lu Chengchuan's essence is the same as that of a gun, except that he has his own consciousness.
"You two, I really can't tell you, so please don't ask."
"Okay, in that case...Mr. Lu, are we friends?" Qin Mingguang calmed down and decided to put the issue aside.
As he spoke, Qin Mingguang suddenly talked about Lu Chengchuan's relationship with the government.
"I helped you kill so many monsters and capture so many cultists. What do you think?" Lu Chengchuan asked him back.
"Understood, understood."
The two nodded. From Anyang City to here, Lu Chengchuan had indeed helped them with a lot of things, and many of them were really not twice as difficult as him.
They don't want to force the other party to ruin their relationship with the government. After all, politics is about making more friends, not creating more enemies.
Although the purpose of this conversation was not achieved, the two at least confirmed that the other had no ill intentions.
They chatted until around 2 p.m., then left the hotel and returned to the Investigation Bureau. Zhou Yaning looked at Lu Chengchuan next to her and said, "You're so arrogant! He's the top leader of a municipality, and you dare to speak like that."
"Why not? Do you want me to kneel down before them and bury my head in their chests when talking to them?"
“There’s no need to be like this…”
Zhou Yaning also knew that what he said was too outrageous. This was not hundreds of years ago, when you had to call every official you met "Sir".
"That's fine, it's not like I'm cursing them directly in their faces."
Zhou Yaning couldn't argue with him, so she just stopped talking.
"Things are almost done here. If nothing else happens in two weeks, we'll leave."
"There's still a while left in two weeks, so it's hard to say if anything will go wrong."
Two weeks is still too long. Who knows, another group of people might pop up to cause trouble one day. Besides, the monsters haven't appeared recently. Lu Chengchuan is afraid that they are accumulating strength.
"Do you really want to go home?" Zhou Yaning thought he wanted to go home.
"It doesn't matter to me. I've been in the hospital for so many years, and I'm not familiar with any place except Anyang City. But my mother is in Guangnan Province, so I still have to go back."
Lu Chengchuan didn't care where he lived, but his mother was still alive, so in order to protect her, it would be better for him to stay close to home.
"Then I'm relieved. I heard that there are people from Sili who want you to go with them."
Zhou Yaning felt relieved when she heard that he still wanted to stay near home.
