Yao Chengjie said, "Actually, I only found out about you yesterday. I mentioned you when I was discussing things with Pu Weichao yesterday, and he got really excited. I was very surprised when I found out he knew you."
It was indeed exciting.
After all, it's been so long since we last saw each other. How could we not be excited to suddenly receive news from each other?
I reckon Pu Weichao must have returned to Jiajiang before, but after seeing the situation there, he must have been very disappointed. We were already dead or gone, so he probably didn't stay in Jiajiang any longer.
But none of that matters; what matters is that we have news about him now.
That's the key point: as long as he's alive, there's still hope.
Afterwards, I chatted with Yao Chengjie about some trivial matters and plans. He didn't tell me about the plan to counter Central Town, not because he didn't trust me, but because there was no need to.
After all, I don't want to get involved in this matter, so it's better to know as little as possible to avoid giving myself away later.
He left an hour later.
Before returning to the research institute, I sorted out my feelings.
Knowing that Pu Weichao is still alive, I'm a little excited. If I go in like this, they'll definitely notice, so I'd better calm down first and go in after I've calmed down.
I walked around outside the research institute for a while, thinking about some things. After calming down my emotional state regarding Pu Weichao, I returned to the institute.
Then, I went directly to Zhang Jianzhou's room.
Before going in, I carefully considered his behavior under the bridge.
To be honest, I didn't believe him when he said those words. If Ye Cheng killed Lu Changkong, why didn't he tell me the day before? Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, so why hide it?
Could it be that they're trying to mislead me?
But that doesn't make sense either. When I asked him, especially when I asked if Lu Changkong was related to the research institute, his expression changed immediately.
At the time, I thought Lu Changkong had some connection with a research institute.
But now Yao Chengjie comes to me and says that what Zhang Jianzhou said is true, and that Lu Changkong was indeed killed by Ye Cheng.
This surprised me a bit.
I shook my head; I couldn't figure it out.
Immediately, I pushed open the door and went in.
Zhang Jianzhou's cheeks have been less swollen in the past two days, but the bruises on his face are still there.
He became nervous as soon as I came in.
I closed the door and said, "I'm not here to hit you."
Zhang Jianzhou did not relax because of my words. Clearly, he no longer believed me.
I approached him and said, "Yao Chengjie is here now, waiting outside. He told me that he met Ye Qian the day before yesterday and they talked, and he learned some things. Now he plans to come and ask you again. He seems to be going crazy, so I came to ask you first before he did."
Honestly, I still don't believe what Zhang Jianzhou said to Yao Chengjie before, so I'm going to try to get some information out of him and see what else he has to say.
Zhang Jianzhou's expression changed drastically.
I said, "So, you should just tell the truth. Honestly, this has nothing to do with me. It's entirely your own fault. I'm trying to help you now. If you tell the truth, maybe they won't hurt you because of me. If you still want to lie and think it doesn't matter, then go ahead and keep doing this. When they come in, I won't be able to save you."
Zhang Jianzhou panicked completely, his eyes filled with terror. Looking at me, he said in a flustered voice, "No, I, I'm telling the truth. Why, why don't they believe me? Did they really ask Ye Qian?"
I said, "You should know their relationship with Ye Qian. Although they are enemies now, they knew each other before. So do you think Ye Qian would lie to them about this? I think you should tell the truth. Otherwise, even if I can guarantee they won't kill you, what if they go crazy and do something?"
Zhang Jianzhou swallowed hard, completely at a loss for what to do.
His eyes were fixed on the ground, constantly shifting, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
I guess they're thinking of countermeasures and methods.
However, I didn't want to give him that time, so I sighed and said, "It seems you're still clinging to wishful thinking. Ye Qian has already said that, and you still think you have a chance? In that case, I wish you good luck. I'll let them in now."
I turned around and went to the door, my hand just touching the doorknob.
Zhang Jianzhou called out from behind, "Wait!"
I breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, this guy called me back, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to continue the act.
If I go out, I'll be exposed.
Zhang Jianzhou said, "I, I...I'll tell you!"
I was secretly delighted; that's exactly what I was waiting for.
As expected, Zhang Jianzhou, that bastard, was lying to Yao Chengjie. As for why Ye Qian would say the same thing, that remains a mystery.
But Ye Qian isn't the main point right now; the main point is what that bastard Zhang Jianzhou will say.
I stood in the doorway and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Zhang Jianzhou said, "I can tell you, but you can't tell Yao Chengjie and the others what I'm about to say. If you agree, then I'll tell you!"
I hesitated for a moment, then said, "No problem. If what you're saying is true, I can make up a reason for them to leave."
Zhang Jianzhou was indeed terrified of being beaten.
But this is for the best.
Immediately, Zhang Jianzhou said, "Actually, what I said before was all true. Ye Cheng really did kill Lu Changkong! But, it was so close! Lu Changkong almost died!"
"So, Lu Changkong is still alive?"
Zhang Jianzhou nodded and said, "Yes, he's still alive, but he's currently in that research institute. After I rescued him, I had the people from the institute come and take him away."
really!
My previous guess was correct; Lu Changkong was indeed in the research institute.
I asked in confusion, "But why did you save him? And why did you send him to the research institute..."
Halfway through my question, looking at Zhang Jianzhou's expression, I suddenly understood why he had sent Lu Changkong to the research institute—there was only one possibility!
Lu Changkong, Lu Yun, and the little girl are the same.
He's not afraid of zombies!
That's the only reason Zhang Jianzhou would save him and have the people from the research institute come and take him away.
That is why Zhang Jianzhou was unwilling to reveal that Lu Changkong was still alive!
