Although it was unclear why Li Ang's watch fell into Liu Zhengchen's hands, after some communication, Liu Zhengchen made an appointment with Lin Tao to meet in a large hotel in Anzheng City.
Lin Tao immediately raised his hand and asked Zheng Cheng to prepare a hovercraft.
"Lin Tao, did something happen?" Seeing Lin Tao's slightly ugly face, Zheng Cheng asked in a low voice.
Lin Tao waved his hand, signaling him to stay. After all, today was the pre-sale day for orders from the Sixiang Mecha Company, and there would probably be a lot of aftermath to deal with.
Among the group, only Zheng Cheng has the best ability and is closest to him.
Fortunately, the Sixiang Mecha Company is not far from Anzheng City.
Drive here.
The hotel that Liu Zhengchen had arranged to meet at was quite famous in the city. There were even rumors that it was funded and built by the Davis family, one of the eight wealthy families, and was a place specifically used for socializing.
After entering, Lin Tao was stunned.
The hotel was empty, even the tables and chairs around it had been cleared away, leaving only a huge table in the middle.
Liu Zhengchen was sitting opposite the gate, holding up a glass of red wine and gesturing to Lin Tao. Near him were two faces that Lin Tao was quite familiar with.
It was Davis Duson whom he met when he first set foot in the Anzheng City medicinal materials market, and the woman named Xinya who Lin Tao suspected was the initiator of the later genetic medicine.
Seeing Lin Tao's appearance, Davis Duson's face turned cold. Xinya opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but she closed her mouth after a while, her eyes kept looking at Lin Tao.
Lin Tao frowned slightly, but still walked to the other side of the table, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Where's Li Ang?"
"Hehe~ Classmate Lin Tao..." Liu Zhengchen raised a goblet filled with red wine and pointed the wine at Lin Tao. After seeing the red wine, he reflected Lin Tao's figure against the red background, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No, no, no, I should call you 'L', right?"
"The mysterious Skynet Mecha Master 'L'." Liu Zhengchen moved the red wine glass away, looked at Lin Tao and smiled softly.
However, there was a chill in his laughter that penetrated into people's hearts.
"'L', the mysterious Skynet mecha master, Lin Tao from Hyacinth Academy." Davis Duson narrowed his eyes slightly, operated his watch with his fingers, and a virtual 3D figure appeared in the air.
It was the thin figure of Lin Tao before he strengthened himself.
Xinya closed her lips and said nothing, her eyes moving back and forth between the 3D figure in the air and Lin Tao's muscular body.
Lin Tao frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Oh? When did you notice it?"
Lin Tao's tone sounded as if this was just a trivial matter and it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not. This made Liu Zhengchen and the other two stunned.
In fact, Lin Tao had already prepared for this day. After all, when he transferred to the First Mecha Academy, he still used the original Lin Tao's information. Although the two looked different in the photos, they could still be found out as long as one was careful.
However, he did not expect that this day would come so soon.
"Lin Tao, are you really this Lin Tao?" Xin Ya finally couldn't help but covered her mouth with her hands and screamed.
Lin Tao folded his hands over his chest, smiled and said nothing.
"I didn't expect you to admit it so quickly." Liu Zhengchen reacted quickly. He raised his red wine glass, shook it twice in the air, and took a sip. "To be honest, I thought you would find all kinds of reasons to deny it, and then wait for me to bring clues to the table so that you can't deny it, and then your identity will be completely exposed."
"It seems that everything I do next will be in vain." Liu Zhengchen seemed very bored.
"Hehe~" Lin Tao smiled slightly.
If he was still the Lin Tao who had just been reborn in Hyacinth College, and his body had not yet been changed by enhanced genes, perhaps he would really do as Liu Zhengchen said and find ways to deny his identity as 'L'.
But, things are different now.
Lin Tao is now tied to the Blood Wolf Gang and is also the CEO of a mecha company. Not only has he already formed a force, but he has also completed a batch of genetic medicines. He only needs Zheng Tuo to find a group of mecha technicians, and then he can rely on these mecha technicians to completely seize Mingyuan Star.
This is the reason why he dared to admit it.
"Hmm? It seems like you feel very confident?" Liu Zhengchen sneered, and then he snapped his fingers. Suddenly, at the other end of the hotel, more than a dozen men in black came out quickly.
Two of them appeared, holding Li Ang on the left and right.
Lin Tao took a look and saw that Li Ang had his eyes closed. He didn't know whether he was in a coma or something, and he was completely motionless.
Seeing Lin Tao frowning, Liu Zhengchen shrugged his shoulders immediately: "Don't worry, he was just injected with a little drug that makes him faint. He will probably wake up tomorrow."
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Lin Tao asked after retracting his gaze.
"You should also know that when 'L' first appeared, he began to impersonate my name and defraud Skynet..." Liu Zhengchen paused here, then looked at Lin Tao with a smile that contained a hint of displeasure.
"However, no matter if 'L' is an imposter or not, since he was able to defeat Wu Ma Ji, it shows that he is quite capable." Liu Zhengchen took another sip of red wine: "First of all, 'L' appeared in Anzheng City. Later, when I met him for the second time, I asked someone to check the IP address and finally found Li Ang's residence."
"When I returned to the First Mecha Academy, I immediately found Li Ang and found out about you after just a little asking. To be honest, I didn't believe that you were 'L' at that time, classmate Lin Tao." Liu Zhengchen narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lin Tao.
"Later, I started to investigate your situation. It happened that the person I entrusted was Brother Du Sen. I didn't expect that you and Brother Du Sen had met before. Look, this malnourished guy, is that you from the past?" Liu Zhengchen raised his eyes and pointed to the thin figure in the air.
Lin Tao just kept listening but said nothing.
"Lin Tao, have you taken any gene enhancement drugs?" Davis Dusen on the side suddenly asked in a stern voice.
Hearing this, Xinya's eyes widened and her ears perked up.
"Oh?" Lin Tao smiled indifferently.
"As early as when you appeared in the medicinal materials market, I already had some suspicions. The medicinal materials you bought at that time, Tianxingcao, Linhehua, and Piaowucao, are the main medicines we use for research. Moreover, the changes in your body shape are the result of taking the gene-enhancing drug." Davis Dusen said sternly.
"Haha~" Lin Tao smiled and looked at Davis Duson: "Since you are researching gene enhancement drugs, then I would like to ask you, have you figured it out?"
"You..." Davis Duson's face darkened.
Of course they haven’t figured it out. If they had, why would they be sitting here?
"Lin Tao, have you... have you researched... figured it out?" Xin Ya asked in surprise.
Lin Tao smiled but said nothing. He turned around and looked at Liu Zhengchen: "Liu Zhengchen, what is your intention in asking me to come here and say this?"
Lin Tao was too lazy to even use the word "classmate".
"Lin Tao, we are good classmates. We don't need to make things awkward." Liu Zhengchen took another sip of red wine and put down the glass. "You know, when I returned to the First Academy and learned that you had become the 'No. 1 in the Academy', I was so shocked. Not to mention the gene enhancement potion, your talent in mecha design and everything you have done in the Four Elephants Mecha Company have made us believe that you are definitely a genius in mecha, even as good as Master Gu Lei."
"Now, you are still a powerful mecha master. You know that such talents are a very rare help to us. Classmate Lin Tao, I really want our relationship to continue like this." Liu Zhengchen said with a smile.
"Really?" Lin Tao said indifferently.
Seeing Lin Tao's expression, Davis Dusen snorted coldly: "Lin Tao, don't think we don't know your background. You are nothing more than joining the Blood Wolf Gang, but do you know who the Blood Wolf Gang belongs to?"
"The Liu family?" Lin Tao asked with a chuckle.
"That's right. The Liu family controls three of the five major underground forces on Mingyuan Star. The other two are Zemen and Qingzhumen. Although Zemen is a force in its own right, they still have to follow the Liu family's lead. Qingzhumen belongs to our Davis family." Davis Dusen said coldly, "As long as we give the order, the Blood Wolf Gang will completely disappear from Mingyuan Star tomorrow."
"Do you still think that you can compete with us after you get close to the Blood Wolf Gang?" Davis Duson looked at Lin Tao with contempt. Although he was sitting on the same level as Lin Tao, he seemed to be looking down on him, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Brother Du Sen, don't scare our classmate Lin Tao." Liu Zhengchen waved his hands and played the good guy: "Lin Tao, I respect your talent in mecha, and you are also good at business. I will give you a chance."
"Oh?" Lin Tao shrugged.
"Join my team." Liu Zhengchen said.
Davis Duson looked at them coldly without saying a word. Xinya opened her mouth but remained silent in the end.
"Haha~" Lin Tao laughed: "Liu Zhengchen, haven't I joined the Liu family now? The Blood Wolf Gang belongs to your Liu family, and even the Four Elephants Mecha Company belongs to your Liu family. Could it be that you have betrayed the Liu family and made friends with outsiders?"
When Lin Tao said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and his eyes glanced at Davis Duson.
"You..." Davis Duson was so angry that he stood up suddenly.
"Lin Tao, watch your words." Liu Zhengchen narrowed his eyes: "Who said I want to betray the Liu family? Brother Du Sen is my ally..."
After a pause, he sneered again: "Lin Tao, it seems that you still don't understand the situation of our Liu family. Yes, the Liu family is still the Liu family in the eyes of outsiders, but in order to compete for the various interests in the Liu family, every member of the Liu family will have his own allies, and my ally is the Davis family."
"This is a rule that almost everyone in the Liu family knows."
