Three days later, Eugene, the world's most advanced intelligent robot, officially met with Mr. Liu in a studio.
Eugene has a pair of slender mechanical arms, and his three flexible fingers can pick up small chess pieces. His face is made up of an LCD screen, and his eyes are round and blink from time to time, making him look very cute. His voice is also a specially recorded baby voice, which makes people feel sweet when they hear it.
The audience was packed with people, who kept pointing at Eugene on the big screen and praising him with words like "so cute, so lovely". It seems he has gained a lot of fans these days.
Reporters from major media outlets also flocked to the stage and took a lot of photos.
Someone raised a microphone to Zhuang Han, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, and asked loudly, "Mr. Zhuang, who do you think will win the competition? Mr. Liu, who is ranked number one in the world, or your robot Eugene?"
"I am very confident in the robot I invented." Zhuang Han responded tactfully.
The reporter handed the microphone to Zhuang Jincheng again.
"I have more confidence in my son." Zhuang Jincheng also used the same sentence structure.
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, their every move revealing a perfect understanding. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.
The reporter soon spotted Zhuang Li sitting alone and rushed over. "Mr. Zhuang, what do you think the outcome of this match will be?"
Zhuang Li's personality was much more direct than Zhuang Han's. He said with certainty, "Mr. Liu will lose."
Mr. Liu, who was sitting on the stage, looked down immediately with a hidden angry expression on his face.
The reporter got excited and asked, "Why do you think Mr. Liu will lose?"
Zhuang Li stared at the intelligent robot on the stage and slowly spoke, "Go has a total of 19 lines—361 intersections where stones can be placed. The complexity of the state space is as high as 10 to the 171th power. It may not sound impressive, but if I tell you that the total number of atoms that make up the universe is 10 to the 80th power, you will understand the true magnitude of this tiny Go board. It is a battlefield even more vast than the universe itself."
The reporter holding the microphone was stunned. He had never expected that this famous playboy could say such profound words.
Zhuang Han looked over with a smile, seeming to appreciate his elder brother's words, but his eyes darkened. The man before him suddenly felt strange. This wasn't the useless Zhuang Li he knew.
Zhuang Li continued, "Humans play chess by relying on calculation and inspiration, while Eugene relies on 'brute force', calculating 200 million moves per second. The probability of error is very rare, but human calculation and inspiration often make mistakes.
"Eugene is a machine, able to maintain peak performance at all times, but the human brain becomes fatigued after prolonged operation. In summary, Eugene's chances of winning are as high as 99.9%. The remaining 0.01% is my consolation to Mr. Liu."
Although these words were harsh, they sounded very reasonable! The reporters who gathered around couldn't help but nod their heads, already mesmerized by Zhuang Li's eloquent speech.
This playboy is surprisingly charming when he gets serious.
Zhuang Han clapped his hands gently and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, big brother, for your affirmation of Eugene."
Zhuang Li glanced at him coldly and suddenly changed the subject. "But Eugene's intelligence is still far from being able to replace humans. It's not as safe and reliable as you advertise. On the contrary, it still has fatal flaws. If it is rashly used in the field of autonomous driving, it will have unpredictable consequences."
Being denied like this by a loser in front of the media, Zhuang Han's lips, which had always been smiling, finally straightened, and a layer of haze covered his dark pupils.
Zhuang Jincheng scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Seeing your brother get good grades, are you jealous?"
Zhuang Li didn't even look at Zhuang Jincheng. He slowly said to the camera, "After Mr. Liu's defeat, I will fight Eugene again, and the ultimate victor will be me. I will prove to you with facts that Cambrian's intelligent AI technology is not yet commercially viable."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene exploded.
The organizers projected the footage of the reporters' interview onto the LED screen in the studio and also transmitted it to the live broadcast room, so that everyone could see Zhuang Li and hear his extremely arrogant words.
[Has Master Zhuang lost his mind? Eugene is so smart, and he still says his skills are immature. Is he really suffering from pink eye?]
[Mr. Zhuang usually likes to show off his wealth and brag, but this time it seems he accidentally let his boast slip!]
[Oh my god, I don't care if he's just bragging! I just love seeing him get slapped in the face in the end!]
[Hahaha, me too! I can’t wait!]
This game is getting more and more interesting! I really want to know where Master Zhuang gets the courage to challenge an AI robot!
[Maybe it was given by Fish Leong, hahahaha…]
There was a lot of mocking voices on the Internet, and the competition scene also set off a climax.
Someone raised his hand and shouted, "Master Zhuang, whoever doesn't go up and play chess with Eugene later is a pig!"
Zhuang Li glanced at the man and nodded, "Okay, it's a deal."
Thunderous applause broke out at the scene, and the audience, who were already very interested in the competition, became even more excited.
Of course, they all knew that the probability of Zhuang Li, the playboy, defeating Eugene was worse than a negative number. Did he know how to play chess? Did he know how to calculate? Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, he knew nothing!
But what the audience wants to see is Zhuang Li's embarrassing defeat, and they want to feel the pleasure of this rich second generation being crushed by the robot, so they try their best to instigate and encourage him.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, Zhuang Han quickly asked the host and security to maintain order. He then gently reminded him, "Brother, you just said that Eugene's computing speed is 200 million steps per second, and it's very rare for him to make mistakes. If your computing power can't reach 200 million steps per second, how can you compare with it? Forget it."
"What if my computing ability can reach this level?" Zhuang Li asked with a smile.
Zhuang Han thought he was just arguing and said helplessly, "Even if your calculation ability is comparable to Eugene's, theoretically, as long as both sides make no mistakes when placing their pieces, the result of the Go game will only be a draw.
"So you will never be able to beat Eugene. The best outcome for you is just a draw with him. Forget it, brother, stop messing around. Let's sit down and watch the game." Zhuang Han reached out to pull Zhuang Li's arm.
Zhuang Li took a step back lightly, smiling in amusement: "I like this kind of impossible game. Let's wait and see."
He looked at the many reporters surrounding him, snapping photos frantically, and said slowly, "I still say the same thing: the ultimate winner will be me. Cambrian's AI currently has major flaws. Trying to commercialize it and use it in autonomous driving technology is murdering consumers."
"Enough! Shut up!" Zhuang Jincheng couldn't bear it any longer and shouted angrily in front of the camera.
He finally realized that his eldest son was slandering his younger son's technology and trying to create panic among consumers. If consumers believed him, who would dare to buy Huarui's smart cars? This kid was born with a rebellious nature!
Seeing Zhuang Jincheng raise a hand, ready to use violence, Zhuang Han quickly pulled him back and said gently, "Dad, don't be angry. Big brother is emotionally unstable right now and can't control himself. Please don't bother with him."
This statement was almost like saying that Zhuang Li was mentally ill.
The reporter quickly raised his camera and took a lot of photos of the father and his two sons.
Zhuang Li pursed his lips and smiled, not angry at all.
Zhuang Han also smiled and said, "Brother, I still say the same thing. Whether Eugene is reliable or not, we'll see after we watch the game. He's defeated so many Go masters before, this can't be faked. The level of his intelligence is obvious to everyone, and you can't deny it with just a few words."
Eugene, who was standing on the stage and looking over here with his head tilted, suddenly said: "Eugene is the smartest robot in the world. Eugene will not lose to you!"
Its tone was a little annoyed, but it actually fully understood what was happening at the scene.
The audience erupted in amazement, and the livestream audience went wild with joy, showering Eugene with praise. Eugene's intelligence was beyond their imagination!
Mr. Liu also looked at Eugene in surprise and doubt, feeling the pressure for the first time.
Zhuang Han was amused by his "son" and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, you are the best, let's start the game!"
"Dad, I will try my best! Hello Mr. Liu, I am Eugene, the smartest robot in the world. Please give me your guidance in the next competition." The chubby robot stretched out an arm to shake hands with Mr. Liu, and his etiquette was impeccable.
There was laughter from the audience, and someone screamed, "Eugene, Eugene, why are you so cute?"
"Dad said I grew up eating Coupons." Eugene turned his head and said in a baby voice.
The audience laughed even more happily, and their love and trust for Eugene reached its peak. Apart from its appearance, it was just an innocent and lovely child, very spiritual.
Zhuang Han waved at Eugene and sat back down, the gloom on his face completely gone. No matter what nonsense Zhuang Li said, as long as Eugene's performance remained perfect, the other party's conspiracy would not succeed.
Zhuang Li also sat back in the corner, clasped his hands on his knees, and looked at the stage lazily.
The game started quickly. Eugene made each move very quickly, almost without thinking. However, Mr. Liu's moves became slower and slower, and it became more and more difficult. He held the chess piece between his fingertips for a long time, not knowing where to put it.
Half an hour later, Mr. Liu threw away his chess piece in great pain, declaring defeat. Sweat soaked his forehead and collar, making him look particularly disheveled.
After a short break, the second game began.
Mr. Liu's mentality was clearly unbalanced. After just 20 points, he looked at the referee beside him and said dejectedly, "It won."
"What?" The referee didn't react.
"It won. There is no need to play this game anymore. I made a big mistake." Mr. Liu pointed at a chess move, his eyes red and almost crying.
The referee looked carefully for a while before declaring Eugene the winner.
The third game began. This time, Mr. Liu struggled for over forty minutes before finally giving up. He knelt before the chessboard, head bowed, hands covering his face, unwilling to face the cameras and the audience.
The referee kept patting his back and whispering something in his ear. His eyes were red and he seemed to feel sorry for Mr. Liu.
This loss was too easy and too tragic, and it also announced the official arrival of intelligent robots. Compared with emotional humans, they have extraordinary abilities and advantages in many aspects.
After more than two minutes, Mr. Liu finally calmed down, stood up, and said with a sob, "I lost. I believe the next era is artificial intelligence, which will definitely bring tremendous changes to our lives. I feel honored to participate in such a historic competition."
Although he lost, he won grace and the hearts of the people.
There was warm applause from the audience. Everyone was cheering for Mr. Liu and Eugene.
At the same time, Cambrian's stock price began to soar, with a momentum of skyrocketing.
Zhuang Han watched all this silently, with a gentle and polite smile on his face, but tears of excitement were flowing in his eyes.
Zhuang Jincheng patted his youngest son's shoulder with a very proud expression.
At this moment, Zhuang Li walked onto the stage and said with a smile, "Little Eugene, how about I play a game with you?"
Eugene opened his big eyes and looked at the little brother in confusion.
Just at this moment, Zhuang Li's cell phone rang. He took it out without hesitation, looked at it, and then pressed the reject button.
This is a call from Zong Zhengming. He is probably watching the live broadcast right now.
His phone vibrated slightly, and a text message arrived. Zhuang Li opened it again and saw an angry message: "I warned you long ago to mind your mouth! Come down immediately and stop messing around! You're only helping Zhuang Han get better publicity."
Zhuang Li pursed his lips and smiled, then put his phone in his trouser pocket. He walked over to Mr. Liu's seat, sat down lazily, pointed at the chessboard and said, "Come on, let's play a game."
The referee on the stage looked at Zhuang Han with embarrassment.
The audience cheered and cheered: "Eugene, little cutie, give him a fight! Beat him to death!"
"Yes, yes, hurry up and compete, we can't wait!"
There was a burst of laughter, and no one thought Zhuang Li would win. The live broadcast room was even filled with various mocking voices.
If Zhuang Li loses, he will become a laughing stock of the whole country, and the probability of his losing is as high as 100%.
Zhuang Han stood up and waved at his eldest brother with a helpless expression on his face. However, Zhuang Jincheng pulled him aside and sneered, "Let him compete! If he doesn't mind being embarrassed, why are you so anxious for him?"
Chapter 120 Playboy and Hypocrite 06┃Zhuang Li: Wisdom and intelligence are worlds apart.
The competition officially begins.
Zhuang Li's phone kept vibrating. He knew who was calling and what the person wanted to say, but he ignored it.
Compared to Mr. Liu, Zhuang Li played much faster, almost as fast as Eugene. One man and one machine took turns placing pieces on the board, one after another; you clicked, I clicked, it felt more like filling in squares than playing chess.
At first, the audience thought Zhuang Li had no idea what the moves were and was just making random moves. But as they watched, their composure grew. Twenty minutes had passed, and Zhuang Li was still playing at the same pace against Eugene, holding his own. The referee stood quietly by, not pointing out anything amiss.
"No way? It looks like Master Zhuang really knows how to play Go!" Surprised whispers were heard from the audience.
Zhuang Jincheng couldn't sit still any longer and asked in a low voice, "Does Zhuang Li really know how to play chess?"
"Yes, and at a very high level." Zhuang Han said with a frown.
He stared at the black and white chessboard on the big screen, feeling a wave of unease. He had thought Zhuang Li wouldn't last more than a few minutes under Eugene's hands before resigning in defeat, but now twenty minutes had passed and the situation was still tense.
Eugene didn't win, and Zhuang Li didn't lose. The computing power of the man and the machine were surprisingly comparable!
Zhuang Han rubbed his brow, trying to stop himself from thinking too much. Eugene would never lose to Zhuang Li. Even if he took a step back, the two sides would only end up in a draw.
But a draw would only occur if Zhuang Li and Eugene did not make any calculation errors from the start to the end, and that situation does not exist at all.
Even the most advanced computers in the world can make a 0.0…01% error when calculating. While the many zeros following the decimal point might make the error rate seem negligible, probability is still probability, and even the smallest probability indicates it will happen someday.
Even computers cannot avoid making mistakes, so it is even more impossible for the human brain to be 100% correct.
Zhuang Li knew nothing except eating, drinking, and having fun. He couldn't possibly possess such incredible calculation abilities. He couldn't defeat Eugene, let alone draw with him.
After the game, he would become a laughingstock across the country. His disgrace and tragic loss would elevate Eugene to a pedestal and maximise Cambrian's publicity. He was a stepping stone that had come to him.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Han curled the corners of his lips, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
However, at this moment, Eugene, who was holding a black chess piece and preparing to make a move, suddenly froze, his big eyes staring at the chessboard, and the small light bulb above his head began to flash rapidly.
Zhuang Li casually threw the white chess piece in his hand into the chess tube, leaned back and leaned back on the sofa, his long legs crossed leisurely, his slender ten fingers formed a spire and gently rested on his chin, and he was completely relaxed.
Judging from his expression, he is not going to play chess anymore.
The referee whispered, "Master Zhuang, do you admit defeat?"
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "You should ask little Eugene across the street."
The referee looked at the opposite side and realized something was wrong.
Eugene's big eyes didn't blink at all. The mechanical arm hung above the chessboard for a long time without making a move. The light bulb above his head flickered and then went out. Then there was a slight clicking sound and sparks appeared.
The referee was so frightened that he took two steps back and blurted out, "Boss Zhuang, Eugene has a problem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a puff of smoke emerged from Eugene's head, and then his cute round face completely turned into a pitch-black LCD screen. A staff member rushed out from the backstage, holding a fire extinguisher and spraying it at Eugene's head.
The incident happened so suddenly that the audience in the audience burst into a horrified noise.
The people watching the live broadcast online were also shocked and asked anxiously: "What's going on? What happened to Eugene?"
Everyone was asking the same question. They never expected such an accident to happen in a normal game.
Zhuang Han immediately rushed onto the stage, kneeling beside Eugene. He used a screwdriver to remove the cover and inspect the internal wiring, trying to identify the problem and quickly fix it. Before he knew it, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead.
In his panic, he had no time to think about how this incident happened.
Zhuang Li touched his forehead lightly with his ten fingers, stacked like a tower, and said with a smile, "I said, this game of chess can only have one outcome: I win. I think the people of the country can now see the reliability of your AI technology, and they will have an accurate judgment in their minds."
Zhuang Han's back stiffened, and he turned around suddenly, saying in disbelief, "You did something to Eugene!"
"Yes." Zhuang Li admitted frankly.
His squinting smile was magnified by the LED screen, showing his arrogance.
Another clamor of shock erupted from the audience. No one wanted to believe Zhuang Li's words, because everyone could see that he hadn't touched Eugene's finger at all during the game. This accident must have been a coincidence, and Zhuang Li had just gotten lucky.
"You can't be considered the winner of this match. Eugene broke down. It was an unexpected situation. We can fight again after it's repaired." Someone shouted from the audience.
"Yes, yes, yes, Eugene just had a problem. The game is not over yet, so Master Zhuang cannot be considered the winner!" A chorus of echoes immediately rang out around him.
The audience had their own judgment on the outcome of the chess game and did not accept Zhuang Li's statement at all.
Zhuang Li curled his lips and said, "There are no accidents, no failures. Everything was inevitable since Eugene accepted my challenge." He looked at the black and white chess game on the big screen and smiled meaningfully.
Zhuang Han followed his gaze, his pupils filled with confusion, and then a flash of horror passed through his eyes.
He finally realized what had just happened!
He suddenly turned to look at Zhuang Li, his face flashing with disbelief, panic, fear, and anxiety. Only then did he realize how deep and scheming Zhuang Li's unruly appearance concealed.
Even the most advanced intelligent AI in the world can be fooled by him!
Zhuang Jincheng walked onto the stage and angrily demanded, "Did you bribe Xiaohan's technicians to do something to Eugene? I'm calling the police!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of excited shouting from the audience: "I see! I see! Oh my god, what a genius design! Holy crap! Master Zhuang is so cunning! It's a QR code! The black and white chess pieces on the big screen have formed a QR code! You scan codes to pay every day, can't you see that?"
Everyone looked closely and then gasped.
The audience member, who appeared to be an IT professional, quickly explained, "If I'm guessing correctly, this QR code must be hiding a virus. Eugene scanned the QR code into his internal program while scanning the chess board, and it infected him! Didn't you know that QR codes were inspired by the game of Go?"
When the audience heard these words, the horror on their faces became even more intense.
If this is the truth, then Master Zhuang did win. He didn't rely on luck, but on real strength!
Audience in the live broadcast room: [……]
What kind of magical twist is this?
I was stunned! Is there a tech expert out there who can tell us if what this person said is true?
Then, a technician working in the IT field stepped forward and posted a comment: "It's true. Master Zhuang has indeed turned this chess game into a virus-ridden QR code. I just loaded the QR code into my computer and it froze, but it returned to normal after a restart. It's not as serious as Eugene's. This virus is probably designed to attack intelligent AI. Eugene's malfunction is definitely not an accident; it was arranged by Master Zhuang."
Netizens went crazy, scratching their heads and saying, "Oh my god! Is Master Zhuang really that awesome? I can't believe my eyes!"
I previously said that Master Zhuang would be slapped in the face by Eugene, but now Master Zhuang has slapped us and Eugene in the face instead!
The technician further explained: "You laymen are merely watching the spectacle, unable to grasp the true formidability of Master Zhuang. Have you ever wondered why he can play chess so effectively? Because before the game even begins, his brain has already calculated every move, including every one of Eugene's. He must use his own moves to force Eugene to place his pieces at the positions he has already calculated, requiring an enormous amount of calculation."
[Do you know how difficult this is? ]
There was silence in the live broadcast room, and no one knew how huge a project this was.
The technician waited until the comments completely cleared before continuing his commentary: [To use Master Zhuang's own words—the chessboard is a battlefield vaster than the universe. To manipulate it with a flick of the wrist is as difficult as a deity placing 10 to the power of 80 atoms in the correct positions, allowing them to form everything.]
"I bet Master Zhuang's computing ability is no less than Eugene's, and his IT skills far surpass Zhuang Han's! That's why he was so sure of his victory before the match began, and why he said Eugene had major technical flaws!"
Looking back at all those words you used to mock Master Zhuang, I'm almost blushing for you. A bunch of laymen mocking a tech expert for not understanding technology right in front of him—that scene is enough to make me laugh for a whole year! Hahahahaha…
After sending out a series of blood-red "ha" sounds, the technician disappeared.
The remaining netizens blushed, feeling extremely ashamed, and then opened the web pages and frantically deleted their idiotic remarks.
Zhuang Li, who was sitting idly on the sofa, also spoke slowly at the same time, "Do you understand? This is the technical flaw I was talking about. Your external publicity always claims that Eugene has the ability to learn independently, but in fact, its recognition ability relies entirely on you constantly inputting pictures to enrich its database. You are feeding it with data, guiding it, rather than allowing it to achieve self-growth and evolution.
"It lacks the ability to perceive and distinguish what it sees and respond appropriately. This is its most fatal weakness."
Zhuang Li tapped his brow with his slender index finger and said with a smile, "This is called wisdom."
He pointed at Eugene's smoking head again. "That's called intelligence. There's only one word difference between the two, but there's a world of difference."
Zhuang Li stood up, slowly smoothed his coat, and walked off the stage. His voice was unfocused. "It can't even recognize a single image, and it's so easily infected by a virus, causing serious malfunctions. How dare you use it in autonomous driving technology? It's a killer on the road."
Zhuang Li waved his hand without looking back and left in a leisurely manner.
A group of reporters with green eyes rushed towards him with microphones in hand, but were blocked by a group of bodyguards who suddenly appeared.
The audience in the audience also stood up and applauded enthusiastically, and some even shouted loudly: "Master Zhuang, you are so damn handsome! I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
There was a burst of laughter all around, simply because the person who shouted this was a man.
The Master Zhuang who had just stood on the stage, talking freely and smiling disdainfully, was truly unique, dazzling, and alluring. The highest level of sex appeal wasn't the allure of physical curves, but rather the fierce competition of brainpower and the absolute crushing of intelligence!
That is the real power that makes people surrender!
Zhuang Han knelt beside Eugene with a pale face. The screwdriver in his hand suddenly fell, making a slight sound, but it sounded like thunder from the sky when it reached his eardrums.
Amid the violent roar, he slowly realized that Eugene had really lost, and that he had also lost completely!
Zhuang Jincheng looked at his eldest son who was walking away surrounded by bodyguards, and then at his youngest son who was kneeling on the stage in a state of embarrassment, with a look of deep confusion on his face.
Chapter 121 Playboy and Hypocrisy 07┃7480: My brain is not enough to deal with a host like this.
Zhuang Li walked slowly in the dimly lit corridor, surrounded by a group of black-clad bodyguards, making a grand scene.
7480 woke up from his drowsy state and said flatteringly, "Master, that chessboard is poisonous. Why didn't you warn me earlier?"
"I didn't expect you to be as stupid as Eugene." Zhuang Li laughed softly in his mind, holding a mobile phone in his hand, checking the more than 20 missed calls.
"Oh, the god called you many times. It seems that he still cares about you very much. Master, please call him back quickly." 7480 continued to flatter, and his flesh was shaking all over.
The more it understands its host, the more afraid it becomes of it.
"No need to reply, he will come to me by himself." Zhuang Li put the phone in his trouser pocket and said lazily.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed out from the darkness and approached Zhuang Li quickly.
A group of bodyguards in black immediately rushed forward and captured the other party.
"Master Zhuang, it's me!" the figure uttered these words with difficulty.
"Mr. Liu?" Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Master Zhuang, can human intelligence really defeat AI?" Mr. Liu asked, his eyes reddening as he turned back. It seemed the match had dealt a devastating blow to his confidence, to the point where he began to doubt the world at large.
“Of course, human wisdom is infinite, and AI can never replace humans.
"You're right. The future is indeed the era of AI. AI has absolute advantages in many areas, but its operating mechanism is based on digital computing, and the growth of its capabilities is within the limits of the program. It can be measured and controlled.
"But human potential has no upper limit and no boundaries. Our creativity, imagination, and ability to interact emotionally are things AI will never be able to surpass. You have to believe this."
Zhuang Li stepped forward, pointed at Mr. Liu's furrowed brow, and said slowly, "Your greatest treasure remains here, and no one can take it away. The game of Go you love is an art, a beautiful thing. Artificial intelligence will never be able to experience this beauty, and that is its greatest flaw. This world belongs to living beings, not machines."
Mr. Liu stared blankly at the young man's sparkling eyes, as if he was mesmerized.
"Let him go, let's go." Zhuang Li patted Mr. Liu on the shoulder and left without looking back.
After a long time, Mr. Liu suddenly relaxed his frown, covered his face with his hands, and smiled with relief. He was very fortunate to have met Master Zhuang at this devastating moment, otherwise he would have been devastated and would have completely given up on Go.
Eugene's brute force of 200 million moves per second almost destroyed his love for Go. He began to doubt whether what he was pursuing was an art or a numbers game.
But now, he no longer doubted himself, his life, or his ideals. Master Zhuang had given him complete assurance—humans could never be defeated by machines, and art could not be replaced by intelligence.
"Thank you." He took a few quick steps and shouted towards the graceful figure. At the end, he shook his head and laughed, "No wonder there are so many gossips about Master Zhuang. It's just that he's so charming!"
---
Zhuang Li walked through the underground parking lot with complicated routes.
Several bodyguards were leading the way when they suddenly received a call. They ran over and whispered, "Boss, Mr. Zong Zheng is here. Let us take you over."
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows without surprise.
A few minutes later, the group walked to the back of the parking lot and saw a low-key business car parked in the corner. The lights were off, but the windows were slightly open. A tall man was sitting behind the window looking at his phone. The faint light outlined the sharp lines on his handsome face.
Zhuang Li also took out his cell phone and looked at it. The harsh text message was still on the chat interface.
"Uncle Zong Zheng, are you here to teach me a lesson?" Zhuang Li walked over and bent down to look into the car window.
Zong Zhengming opened all the car windows and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to apologize. I have many misunderstandings about you." He took out a cigar, lit it, and when he put it in his mouth, he froze for some reason.
Zhuang Li chuckled softly. He knew his lover must have been thinking back to the saying that smoking was a way to suppress sexual urges.
However, Zong Zhengming was only frozen for half a second before he naturally took the cigar in his mouth and took a deep puff.
"You're not as useless as your grandfather says. He's older, and there's a generation gap between you, so he might not understand you very well. Based on what he said, I misunderstood you. I apologize." Zong Zhengming praised, "Your counterattack today was brilliant. If your grandfather were watching from heaven, he'd be very proud of you."
"What about you? Are you proud of me, Uncle Zong Zheng?" Zhuang Li put his hands on the edge of the car window, lowered his waistline to look directly at his lover, with a playful smile on his lips.
Zong Zhengming nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I am proud of you too. You have done a good job and I should trust you." After he finished speaking, his stern thin lips finally curled up into a gentle arc.
Zhuang Li waved his phone in front of him and asked with a smile, "Do you still want to control my mouth now?"
Zong Zhengming looked at the text message and smiled helplessly: "No, you have a powerful mouth, I can't control you."
"No, you can control it, you just don't know how." Zhuang Li lowered his voice a little, narrowed his narrow eyes, and an ambiguous light flashed in his pupils.
For some reason, Zong Zhengming suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart and subconsciously asked, "Then teach me how to control your mouth."
"Of course it is." Zhuang Li suddenly stuck his head in the car window, took the cigar from between his lover's teeth, gently bit his thin lips that smelled of tobacco, and then laughed very proudly and hoarsely.
The empty underground parking lot spread out his laughter and then resonated back, creating a bewitching magic.
Zong Zhengming froze in a daze. His thin lips still felt numb from being bitten by sharp teeth, but it also felt as if they had been burned by fire, burning hot and painful. His eardrums were tickled by the little curly-haired boy's laughter, and his mind was blank and confused.
He never expected that the other party would be so bold.
While his lover was still dazed, Zhuang Li whispered, "Did you dream of smoking a cigar?"
Zong Zhengming nodded subconsciously.
Zhuang Li smiled slyly again. "It's said that men who dream of smoking cigars are worried about the size. Uncle Zong Zheng, what's your size? Is it necessary to worry about it in a dream? Is it too big or too small?"
He lowered his head and looked at the part of his lover that could not be concealed at all, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems to be too big." Then he put the cigar back into his lover's mouth, touched the other's burning ear, smiled and waved: "Goodbye, I wish you a good dream tonight."
Without giving Zong Zhengming any time to react, Zhuang Li turned around and left. A group of bodyguards immediately surrounded him in a grand manner.
Zong Zhengming debugged it well.
