◎Comeback◎
"Who the hell are you?!"
Facing Long Lie's fierce questioning, the male secretary slowly raised the corner of his mouth, a hint of a smile: "Mr. Long, didn't the orphanage give you my information?"
Data…? Wait, Long Lie's pupils shrank suddenly. Could it be that there was something wrong with the data he obtained eleven years ago?!
No, impossible! He remembered it clearly. The information clearly stated that the child's mother had died young due to illness, and his father had died in a surprise attack by a star beast a year ago. Because he was only six years old at the time and had no ability to survive, he was sent to a nearby orphanage by kind people he met on the road.
That's not right! Suddenly, realizing a flaw in the information, Long Lie staggered backward uncontrollably. He took a few deep breaths, then stared in disbelief at the child he'd raised for eleven years. "You were six when I adopted you, but your information says your father was eaten by a star beast when you were five. You're lying!"
For decades, he had observed and monitored nearly every movement of the star beasts over Tost. He knew exactly when and where a star beast had devoured a human, and he knew better than anyone else. And the time period listed in the child's profile—the year before he entered the orphanage—hadn't seen a single case of cannibalism! Not to mention that year, even the year before that, no star beast had appeared on Tost!
"You're lying!" Long Lie gritted his teeth as he quietly backed away, his hand reaching for the gun pouch at his waist. "Tell me, who are you?!"
Witnessing the entire change in Long Lie's expression from suspicion to surprise, and then to disbelief, as if he had watched a big drama, the male secretary finally retracted his smile, his brows instantly becoming extremely cold: "Me? I'm the son of the former admiral - Nangong Zheyan." As he spoke, he stepped out of the elevator with one leg in front and the other behind.
What?! Long Lie’s eyes widened, and his whole body trembled violently. Nangong Zheyan! Nangong Zheyan, the son of former General Nangong Runhong!
"It's you...you're still alive!"
If knowing that there was something wrong with his personal secretary a few minutes ago was enough to make him angry, then at this moment, the male secretary's words were like a bolt of lightning from the blue, which created a gap in the tower he had carefully built over the years!
Nangong Runhong, a military man who was once famous throughout the entire Tost Star, although he was much younger than the current Admiral Baili Huaixi when he took office, he possessed more resolute and decisive killing power on the battlefield than the latter. He possessed extremely strong mecha control skills. Every time he fought with a star, the whole person seemed to be integrated with the mecha. Every move he made was sharp and smooth. At one time, he surpassed their Long family and any other large family in Area A with overwhelming public opinion.
As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and a great reputation attracts the wind. Seeing that the independent military was gaining momentum and becoming stronger, almost overshadowing their Long family, as the controller of the Long family, he certainly could not swallow this humiliation, so he had been planning a conspiracy to kill someone with a borrowed knife a long time ago.
Knowing that the smell emitted by the star beast cubs would attract groups of star beasts, why not find an opportunity to quietly lead the tide of star beasts to the planet, and then push the military out in the name of defense? In this way, no matter how powerful Nangong Runhong is, he can't fight a hundred alone. At that time, he only needs to sit behind the scenes and easily destroy this annoying man and the increasingly powerful military behind the man.
But he underestimated Nangong Runhong. Even though he was surrounded by hordes of star beasts, this tough guy in the military fought his way out!
At that time, Long Lie almost thought that his plan was going to fail, but he didn't expect that God helped him secretly again - Nangong Runhong's 3-year-old son actually accidentally entered the battlefield.
It was said that in order to save his son, half of Nangong Runhong's body fell into the mouth of the star beast, his flesh and bones were bitten to pieces, and blood splattered all over the ground. Although he did not die and was rescued, he was confined to a wheelchair and lingered at home for two years before finally dying from the poison he had secretly put in his body.
Nangong Runhong's death made Long Lie very proud and happy. Without this thorn in his side, his Long family could take another step forward on the road to power. Of course, to ensure that the matter was done flawlessly, he would not even spare the Nangong family's only youngest son. As a man, he must kill them all, otherwise he would not be able to sleep peacefully.
After using various means, both formal and informal, he finally confirmed a piece of good news - Nangong Runhong's son, Nangong Zheyan, had died in the Star Beast War that year!
"Haha, I didn't expect you're not dead." Long Lie raised the muscles at the corners of his mouth and smiled sinisterly. His pair of cloudy eyes wandered over Nangong Zheyan's body like dead fish eyes. The expression on his face changed from smile to annoyance, and then from annoyance to a coldness more vicious than a snake. "I've planned everything, but I didn't expect that you, a little thing, would predict it. You want to avenge your old man, right? You're too naive!"
He then pulled out the gun from his waist, and bang! A deafening gunshot rang out in the cold passage.
Above the planet Tost, following a strange signal that suddenly came from the mecha, Yu Zhengqing and Yu Ziteng broke through layers of star beasts and were the first to reach the source of the signal.
"There's someone down there!" Yu Zhengqing pointed at the basement door nervously.
"Nonsense, I'm not blind!" Yu Ziteng rolled her eyes at him, then held the gun in front of her and walked carefully towards the door.
At Yu Ziteng's signal, Yu Zhengqing turned on the laser gun and with a swish, he cut off the metal buckle that was locked behind the door.
"Don't move! Put your hands up!"
Only the military's own people knew the communication signal. Yu Zhengqing and Yu Ziteng were not sure whether the people inside were enemies or friends, so they rushed in and suppressed them with roars as soon as they rushed in, and then pointed the two black muzzles of their guns at the three people in the basement.
Yu Xianguang's eyes were filled with tears of excitement: "Wow, Captain Zi Teng, Adjutant Zheng Qing, you are finally here!"
Yu Ziteng was stunned for a moment, then showed surprise: "You are all okay?! This is great! I thought... as Baili Huaiguo's vanguard, you all..."
She didn't say anything else.
Yu Xianguang bit his lower lip and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his head, his eyes filled with pain and self-blame. "I'm sorry, Captain Zi Teng! I'm sorry, Adjutant Zheng Qing! I didn't expect there would be so many star beasts below. We overestimated ourselves! It's all my fault. If I hadn't reacted so slowly, my brothers wouldn't have been so seriously injured!"
After saying that, he lowered his head, covered his face in pain, and his shoulders twitched with sobs.
Click, the sound of a bullet being loaded suddenly rang out in the air.
Time seemed to stand still.
"Captain Ziteng..." Yu Xianguang raised his head, looking at the gun pointed at his head in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Changing from the surprise just now, Yu Ziteng's brows instantly fell coldly, his finger on the trigger, and his tone was stern: "Have you had enough of playing Infernal Affairs? Long Lie's lackey - Yu Xianguang."
"You...! So you already knew it!" The truth was revealed on the spot. Yu Xianguang was surprised and horrified. He hurriedly reached for his waist, trying to take out the pistol he was carrying, but unexpectedly, his hand touched nothing the next second!
"Are you looking for this?"
The moment Xia Li saw Yu Ziteng pointing the gun at Yu Xianguang, she finally confirmed that something was wrong with him. It turned out that there was really something wrong with this man, so she immediately took out the gun from his waist.
"I told you, you're asking me all kinds of questions even after I saved you. Turns out you're a spy!" Tang Poxiao came to his senses and started cursing.
Yu Xianguang was completely unaware of the rapidly changing situation. He kept thinking to himself, "I've put on such a good show, how come I was still discovered in the end?" His heart sank. He stared at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him and slowly closed his eyes.
Bang! The bullet rushed out with sparks!
Long Lie gritted his teeth and glared at Nangong Zheyan complacently, saying, "Go to hell!"
However, the sound of metal clashing could be heard in the empty passage. Long Lie looked at the missed bullet in disbelief, and his finger on the trigger froze involuntarily: "How dare you tamper with my gun!"
"Didn't you tamper with my father's potion back then?"
If he hadn't been careless that day and hadn't noticed the doctor assigned by Long Lie who came to change the medicine at home, how could his father, the man who had fought in the interstellar world for so many years, have died in agony in a wheelchair?!
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in everything. In order to avenge his father, he, Nangong Zheyan, secretly replaced the short-haired little girl who was actually rescued that year with himself at a young age. In the eyes of the world, he had already died, and a dead person was not qualified to attend his father's funeral.
After his father's death, he packed up his family's remaining belongings, carried his luggage, and pretended to be an orphan who had lost both parents. He changed his name and sent himself to an orphanage. He had originally planned to use the orphanage as a cover to secretly gather information about Long Lie, but he didn't expect Long Lie to come to him. How could he let such a golden opportunity pass? After eleven years of lying low, he finally gained Long Lie's trust and gained access to his experimental plan and the laboratory.
As long as this shocking secret is released, the Long family will completely disappear from the planet Tost.
After Nangong Zheyan finished speaking, he rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. He held Long Lie's gun with one hand to prevent him from shooting again, and with the other hand, he made a palm and chopped directly at the opponent's throat!
After all, Long Lie was an elderly man. Whether in strength or reaction speed, he was no match for Nangong Zheyan, an upright young man. After being hit hard in the throat, he felt as if his chest was blocked and he couldn't breathe. He immediately fell diagonally backwards.
Nangong Zheyan took the opportunity to snatch his gun and kicked him hard. Long Lie's old bones could not withstand such a kick. Two of his ribs were broken on the spot, and his body slid limply to the ground.
