Chapter 68 No one is seen, only gold is seen (16) I can’t just do it for the sake of face…
Upon learning that Researcher 4399 was the daughter of a black gang, Gao Mengtang relaxed.
Since she has revealed her identity, Gao Mengtang must reciprocate.
——Make up a fake identity to deceive her.
I definitely can't say that I'm an employee sent by the Zhongzhou government. Wouldn't that make me incompatible with Heishe?
Gao Mengtang leaned against the wall, holding back the pain, and forced a smile: "You misunderstood me. If I knew your identity and wanted to deal with you, how could I have brought only two girls here?"
Researcher 4399 glanced at the two people lying on the ground nearby, then realized what was happening.
That makes sense. If Gao Mengtang had investigated her family, he would have known that she was extremely powerful and it was impossible for her to bring two mediocre people here to be killed.
Just now, when 4399 saw his father's photo, he was so nervous that he didn't stop to think. Besides, Gao Mengtang looked mysterious and powerful, making people nervous and alert.
"Then who are you?" 4399's eyes became even colder.
Gao Mengtang: "You guessed it right. I am a cult... I call it the Moon Banner Cult. I am the leader of the Moon Banner Cult."
Researcher 4399 frowned: "Moon Banner Sect?" Never heard of it.
"You haven't heard of it, right?" Gao Mengtang continued, "The Moon Banner Cult was established not long ago, and its power is weak. It's just a spark, and it doesn't pose a threat to you. But you and I both live on the... cracks of this society. We are allies."
Surviving on the cracks of society... These words touched her heart, and she couldn't help but soften her attitude.
If one is not buried in the abyss with no hope in sight, who would be willing to take risks and live in fear every day?
"Then why are you a researcher for the Central State government? How can a blind person do scientific research?" she asked aggressively.
Gao Mengtang looked into the distance with misty eyes. His large, lifeless eyes looked quite melancholy. In the depths of the shadows, there seemed to be an invisible pain.
In fact, he was thinking about how to edit it.
"I was bullied by my boss and couldn't make it..."
4399 Researcher: "Sexual harassment?"
Gao Mengtang: "Uh, you guessed it right."
The researcher nodded confidently. “You look like someone who would be sexually harassed.”
Gao Mengtang pretended to be calm and continued, "They blinded me."
"They?" The researcher was shocked. "They're playing so wildly?"
"...They felt guilty because I had lost my competitiveness in the workplace, so they didn't fire me. Instead, they assigned me to a sinecure."
Researcher: "You are reluctant to let you go?"
Gao Mengtang quickly changed the subject: "Half a year ago, I dreamed of an immortal in broad daylight. I was inspired by God to found the Moon Banner Church. In the early days of the church, there was a lack of funds. So I worked part-time while preaching."
After listening, the researcher thought about it carefully.
The followers called him "Chief". Researcher 4399 was sure that the leader of a large church who could not be an enemy of her family was this frail and beautiful man in front of her.
In reality, even if you just see one photo of him, you will never forget it.
Therefore, Gao Mengtang's words are most likely true. He is the leader of a small sect.
"Now that I have established your relationship, please take care of me in the future," said Gao Mengtang.
The researcher chuckled and wanted to say, "There are a lot of people who want to curry our favor, just line up at the back." But he swallowed the words back.
She thought of Gao Mengtang's followers.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, sometimes the system will blur the player's skills. In the eyes of NPCs, you can't see fancy skills, you can only see a person fighting with flesh and blood.
Wei Wei is mysterious, Duan Song is extraordinarily strong, He Lun is outstanding, and Bai Jie comes and goes without a trace.
Being able to recruit so many tough guys in just half a year, the strength of the Yuefan Sect leader should not be underestimated.
If you look at the long-term, if you can establish a relationship with Gao Mengtang, you never know who will be the one to marry above your station in the future.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry for the offense." The researcher reconnected Gao Mengtang's joints with two clicks and helped him stand up.
The long, thick black eyelashes trembled in front of his eyes, and the researcher's heart trembled with them.
What a pity! He entered Zhongzhou Academy of Sciences at such a young age and had a bright future, but he became blind and had to end his life.
Immediately, the researcher and Gao Mengtang developed a sense of mutual appreciation.
"Are we teammates now?" Gao Mengtang asked softly.
Researcher 4399 nodded heavily: "Of course."
Gao Mengtang returned to the topic: "Have any conflicts ever occurred between your □□ members and Xu Wei and Qian Hao?"
"Venerable Sir, please go back to my bedroom and talk."
Researcher 4399 grabbed Gao Mengtang's wrist and walked back. Along the way, they met many men in black, who obviously knew this young lady.
Seeing the young lady dragging the staff of the Central State Government, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. Several men in black took off their sunglasses and watched them leave in shock.
What is this, a thief calling the police?
Before closing the door, the researcher peeked out through the crack. She leaned against the door and said, "My name is You Beibei."
"Mu Huan," Gao Mengtang added, "Just call me by my full name."
"Okay, Huanhuan."
Gao Mengtang: ...
"Why are you investigating Xu Wei and Qian Hao?"
Gao Mengtang sighed: "This is my mission, to find the culprit behind the zombie case. I need this bonus. The truth is priceless, but to spread the truth, there must be funds."
You Beibei seemed to be hesitant after hearing this, and said nothing. She moved a chair and sat down, wiped the soy milk off Gao Mengtang's body, applied medicine to her red and swollen wrist, and started to chat about some unimportant things: "Why is Your Excellency a vegetarian?"
The correct answer is that I was born a vegetarian and I'm used to it. Gao Mengtang's mind moved slightly: "I am carrying a life on my shoulders..."
Gao Mengtang paused in rubbing his wrist. He had made the right bet, and this sentence touched You Beibei's heart again.
To go to Liangshan, one must surrender. Those of them who fought in pools of blood only dared to associate with criminals and had no criminal record at all. How could she dare to believe them?
"Oh? Who did your Excellency kill?" You Beibei asked calmly.
Gao Mengtang said "I'm sorry" in his heart, and before he spoke, he looked lonely: "Gao Huan, Gao Yaxin."
These are his parents' names.
It seems a bit inappropriate, but Gao Mengtang has never had the idea of "the dead are the greatest". When a person dies, he is dead. Singing a thousand odes is just to comfort the soul of the living; cursing a hundred times is also trampling on the dignity of the living.
The commemoration of death is the reflection of life. The living are the greatest. The spirits of the parents in heaven, if they can help their own son, they should not care about this offense...right?
Go back and provide more fruits and vegetables, and let the enemy rabbit stand for an hour as punishment.
Gao Mengtang's parents were in a car accident, less than half a year after the zombie case broke out. You Beibei was walking on a knife's edge and was particularly concerned about social news. She immediately thought of: "The two victims of the high-speed serial rear-end collision?"
"Yes. I did it." Gao Mengtang lowered his head.
"So it's you. My father thought this was strange and investigated for a month but couldn't find the murderer. Your Excellency is very clever."
You Beibei relaxed her guard: "Our family does have some small conflicts with Qian Hao's family..."
Qian Hao's son owed a huge gambling debt of 50 million yuan overseas, and Qian Hao could not repay the debt. After a year, You Beibei's men chopped off Qian Hao's son's limbs and dug out his eyes in front of Qian Hao. He was still breathing when they dragged him to the operating table, cut open his stomach, and took out his internal organs.
"After the massacre, Qian Hao was frightened," You Beibei sneered, "He was afraid that he would be killed as well, so he stepped up the research and development of the crystal pump. In order to pay back the 50 million and the loan shark, he mixed drugs into the crystal pump."
You Beibei spoke these words lightly, and Gao Mengtang was surprised after hearing them.
If it is to collect debts, shouldn't one hand be chopped off today and one foot be broken off tomorrow? Chopping meat with a blunt knife is to intimidate Qian Hao to the greatest extent and force him to exchange money.
Killing Qian Hao's son in front of him, with blood on display. It sounds more like... revenge.
Gao Mengtang suppressed his doubts and recalled another detail.
When the name "Xiao Ting" was mentioned, You Beibei acted very unnatural.
Bu Xiaoting's son is called Xu Xiaoting. Both of them are named "Xiaoting".
You Beibei is hiding something from him.
Gao Mengtang said nothing. He quietly ate a blueberry to protect his eyes, then lowered his head, slumped his shoulders, and slightly closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.
After a long while, no one spoke. Turning her head, You Beibei realized that Gao Mengtang was already drowsy. She gently pushed his shoulder and said, "Your Excellency? Your Excellency?"
No response.
"Your Excellency! What's wrong with you?" You Beibei shook him vigorously, but Gao Mengtang was like a doll that had lost its soul and refused to wake up.
A man who licks blood from the tip of a knife has a strange way of thinking. You Beibei subconsciously pulled out the knife and pressed it against Gao Mengtang's throat.
...I can't pretend anymore.
Gao Mengtang suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp: "Xu Xiaoting. What does this have to do with you?"
Five minutes ago, his pupils were still dilated, but now they were bright and sharp. You Beibei screamed in fear, took several steps back, and stared at Gao Mengtang in fear.
Those pupils moved with her.
A blind man took a short nap and suddenly regained his sight? !
You Beibei leaned against the wall with her back pressed against the wall, breathing rapidly. The cult leader said that he had a dream and received divine inspiration to found the Moon Banner Cult. She thought it was a scam and didn't believe a word of it.
Difficult, could it be true?
Gao Mengtang tried his best to keep his expression unchanged. At this critical moment, he couldn't let anyone know.
His gaze could produce a slight mental pollution, which affected You Beibei. He was terrified and shouted tremblingly:
"I killed him! I injected him with the zombie virus! My dad made me do it, and I don't know why."
"In order to make things easier, my dad got me a high-level authority card."
“The virus in Xu Xiaoting’s body is the mother strain. Only he can be infected with the zombie virus through wounds. If he is attacked by Xu Xiaoting, he will also become a zombie.
"My men isolated him, fearing that things would get worse. That's all I know!"
After getting the answer, Gao Mengtang's whole body went limp, his head drooped, his limbs drooped like noodles, and he collapsed on the bed.
Very good, it seems his acting is pretty good.
Shortly after entering You Beibei's bedroom, Wei Wei and others arrived. Gao Mengtang was afraid that they would come in and alert the enemy, so he used a mental link to ask them to wait outside the door.
He opened the mind link again: "I've finished trying to get the truth from you. Come in. Act serious."
Knock knock knock, there is a knock on the door.
You Beibei was startled again. She leaned on the door mirror to take a look and opened the door: "You, your venerable suddenly fell asleep and then regained his sight. I, I don't know what happened!"
Duan Song walked straight towards Gao Mengtang without looking around, and picked him up sideways. He seemed to be accustomed to all this.
Because they eavesdropped on the whole process from outside the door.
"What's going on!" You Beibei asked in despair.
"It's just a revelation from God." Duan Song said calmly. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at You Beibei, "You hurt our Venerable."
You Beibei's eyes widened: "Uh, how did you know?"
In a flash, a knife was placed across You Beibei's throat. Just 5 millimeters away, You Beibei's artery would have been cut, and blood would have splattered on the spot.
The speed was too fast and You Beibei couldn't see how he made the move. When he reacted, his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
"Next time, the knife will not stop here." After saying that, Duan Song calmly retracted the knife, hugged Gao Mengtang, and left without looking back.
Five minutes later, You Beibei finally recovered from the inexplicable fear. She collapsed on the floor and said, "It's terrible, so terrible..."
After returning to dormitory 401, Gao Mengtang immediately opened his eyes and rolled over on the bed as if nothing had happened.
"Is there any progress? Who is the mastermind behind this?" Wei Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang stretched halfway, sat up on the bed, and said carefully: "It's confusing."
Qian Hao's suspicion can be ruled out. He was frightened by the methods of the mafia and only wanted to make money but not kill people. He also didn't want to see the zombie outbreak, so he had no motive to poison.
Xu Wei is a bit suspicious. He pried Shi Zhengyi away and planned to poison the crystal pump. But on May 17, when he was on vacation with Shi Zhengyi, Shi Zhengyi dreamed of Q. After waking up, Xu Wei's attitude immediately changed and he no longer mentioned the poisoning.
"It's very common for entrepreneurs to be involved in organized crime," Wei Wei said. "You Beibei followed his father's orders and poisoned Xu Xiaoting. So whose orders did You's father follow? He was waiting for Qian Hao to pay back the money, so there was no reason for him to kill him."
Gao Mengtang hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you think Xu Wei is the protector of the You family? Did he instruct You Beibei to poison his son?"
He Lun refused to believe it: "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He is my own son!"
"Not necessarily." Duan Song smiled coldly, "My mother wishes I would die sooner."
"He poisoned his own son in order to confuse people like you," Wei Wei pointed at He Lun with his pipe, "His own son died in the zombie case, so it's easy for him to clear his suspicion."
He Lun's worldview was shocked and he couldn't say a word.
Wei Wei leaned against the table and said slowly, "Don't forget what Xu Wei's reaction was when he found out that his son had transformed into a zombie."
Qian Hao wanted to transfer Xu Xiaoting to a safe place, but Xu Wei said, what if the virus spreads during the transfer? So they should just lock him up in the Ritian Industrial Park.
"He is so afraid of the virus spreading, but he came to the industrial park to shoot a documentary. His fear is moderate." Wei Wei smiled, "Or maybe Xu Wei knows that only the zombie virus in Xu Xiaoting can be transmitted through wounds."
He Lun insisted on believing in a warm family: "Xu Xiaoting is Xu Wei's only child."
Wei Wei frowned impatiently: "The old man has a strong sexual desire and money. He can have as many children as he wants."
There were no new clues from Shi Zhengyi. It was time to change direction. The next step should be to investigate Xu Wei.
"Let's investigate Xu Wei," Gao Mengtang clapped his hands, "First search his body, then search his bedroom."
Everyone stared at Gao Mengtang and Wei Wei with strange eyes.
Body search, bedroom. Sounds like a good job for my adopted son.
Gao Mengtang realized this, his smile froze, and he quickly turned his gaze to Wei Wei.
Wei Wei was also looking at Gao Mengtang. When their eyes met, he sat up straight and asked, "Why are you looking at me again?"
Gao Mengtang: "We are the only two who can sneak into Xu Wei's bedroom."
Wei Wei pleaded, "Mr. Blind, I haven't recovered from the trauma I suffered... Please don't look at me."
"That's right." But it's not good to bring harm to one person.
Gao Mengtang said sullenly, "Then I'll go. I'll find an opportunity to get closer to Xu Wei."
Wei Wei took a trembling puff of cigarette, and in an instant, his eyes were stern: "No!"
Gao Mengtang: “Eh?”
Wei Wei put his pipe on the table and said solemnly: "This is not a glorious thing. You are the leader of Yuefan and the face of Yuefan. If you are disgraced, the camp will not have a positive image. How can it develop and make a profit?"
"……Wei Wei, what do you want?"
"I'll go down." Wei Wei made up his mind, "I can't just give up the money for the sake of face, right?"
