Chapter 129 The one who is not loved is the mistress

"You want to give it, does he want it?" Fu Tang lay in the rocking chair, like the kindest elder having a heart-to-heart talk with a younger person, provided that one ignores the undercurrent in his words.

Fu Ren narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Fu Tang slowly stopped talking when he saw Fu Ren's expression. When people get old, they can't help but recall the past.

Fu Tang thought of his deceased son and daughter-in-law. The two outgoing and enthusiastic people were attracted to each other at first sight and fell in love immediately.

Unfortunately, due to the consequences, the two of them finally became enemies who wanted to eat each other's flesh and blood.

The son of Mr. Fu and Ms. Meng, who were famous in Beijing at that time, not only inherited their outstanding looks, but was even more outstanding than them. His personality was also a complete imitation of his parents.

Domineering, paranoid, and controlling.

No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do.

"Bring Yang Sen back," Fu Tang tapped the ground lightly with his crutch. A heavy muffled sound came from the floor and went straight into Fu Ren's calf along the rubber-soled military boots.

Fu Ren's fingers that were stroking the handle of the mahogany chair suddenly stopped, and he raised his eyes to reveal his cold, foxy eyes. "What do you mean?"

In his hand, Yang Sen held the information given to him by Shen Zhi, as well as the token given to Shen Zhi by the Meng family.

The one who wants to find Yang Sen the most right now is not Shen Zhi but the Meng family.

Only by proving that Shen Zhi is Meng Yinyan's fiancée can the Meng family use Shen Zhi to gain control of the Tonglan Laboratory. And only with Shen Zhi's data will the Tonglan leaders recognize it.

And Fu Tang now wants Fu Ren to personally push Shen Zhi onto Meng Yinyan.

"Jiuzhong secretly used normal people for experiments," Fu Tang said calmly, but his sharp eyes revealed his disgust for the matter. "Jiuzhong's alliance with Tonglan is nothing more than using Jiuzhong as a support. If the control is really taken away by Jiuzhong, it would be a real waste of effort."

Fu Ren closed his eyes and listened, his long legs dangling in the air. Hearing this, he sneered, "So you want me to find evidence that my boyfriend is someone else's fiancée?"

Undisguised sarcasm echoed in the air, but no one answered Fu Ren's question.

Fu Ren raised his head, his long neck was soft and white, with blue veins clinging under the skin, like vines shackled around a swan's neck.

Fu Ren stood up, and his violent movement knocked over a chair. Fu Ren lowered his eyes to look at Hongmu who had fallen on the ground, then slowly withdrew his eyes and walked out without saying a word.

He said that he would give Shen Zhi what he wanted, and Shen Zhi didn't need the Meng family or Tong Lan.

"Don't you want to ask him?" Fu Tang said to Fu Ren's back, "Maybe he has different ideas, or you can know why Shen Zhi chose the boy from the Meng family instead of you."

Fu Ren's steps paused slightly, and he left without looking back.

The sky in Tonglan was very cloudy, and it was gloomy without any sunlight all day long. In fact, after the end of the world, it was rare to see a normal sun, and they saw the moon more often.

The full moon hung on the dark curtain, bright and moist, as if it was the only light in the world.

But the surviving humans know that it is not a beautiful view, but a death warrant. The zombies will become more agitated under the moonlight and may even attack humans in groups.

Fu Ren swiped his card and walked into the laboratory, where he was told that Meng Jingyan and the others had gone to the top floor, where Yu Zheng was imprisoned.

Fu Ren knew that Shen Zhi was very interested in Yu Zheng. To be honest, there is no researcher who would not be interested in Yu Zheng.

The hard texture of the military boots fell on the laboratory floor without causing any noise.

The people in the room were roughly divided into two groups. One group was Meng Yiyan, Shen Zhi and Zhao Mu who stayed behind to take care of Shen Zhi by Fu Ren, and the other group was Xie Weiran and Xiang Wu.

"Captain Meng cannot take him away before the Meng family gets jurisdiction," Xie Weiran stood in front of Meng Yiyan, looking at Yu Zheng who was eating quietly under the glass cover.

Yu Zheng, who has human consciousness, is not only what Tong Lan wants to be the first person to study, but all nine of them also want to be.

They give them money, supplies, and people, but don't let them participate in anything. They don't really think that the nine of them are being taken advantage of.

Xie Weiran raised his hand and introduced: "Professor Xiang Wuxiang, a student of Professor Gu Anyang, is also the person in charge of this serum research hired by our Jiuzhong."

Xie Weiran immediately defined Xiang Wu's identity. It was almost common knowledge that Shen Zhi was the general manager of the serum research appointed by Tong Lan. Now Xie Weiran's straightforward words made the two of them competitors.

"Professor Gu's student is engaged to the Meng family," Xie Weiran pretended to be puzzled and questioned, "I remember Shen Zhi was Professor Qi Tongye's student, how could he be related to Professor Gu Anyang?"

Xie Weiran looked at Meng Yinyan and said earnestly, "Commander Meng, please don't be fooled."

Meng Yiyan remained silent, quietly waiting for Xie Weiran's next words.

Xie Weiran glanced at Xiang Wu, who was standing next to him with a cool and heroic look, and continued, "We nine people fully support Professor Xiang Wu. If Chief Meng is willing to set things right, we nine people will help the Meng family regain control of the laboratory."

Meng Yiyan's eyes trembled slightly, and he glanced at Xie Weiran who was talking loudly in front of him, and his gaze stayed on Xiang Wu, who seemed to be indifferent, cold and capable.

Xiang Wu noticed Meng Jingyan's gaze and looked at him coldly, her face as white as snow showing coldness and arrogance. "If you want to believe it, then believe it. If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it. I, Xiang Wu, will not joke about such things."

"But I don't like being impersonated." Xiang Wu glanced at Shen Zhi with a meaningful look and said loudly, "I, Xiang Wu, can give it up, but I can't let someone take it away so unclearly."

Shen Zhi, who was being targeted, tilted his head and tugged at Meng Jinyan's sleeve.

Meng Yiyan slightly turned his body to block Xiang Wu's unfriendly gaze towards Shen Zhi, and lowered his head to ask, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhi pointed at Yu Zheng inside the glass cover and asked, "Give him some water. He seems to be choking."

Meng Jinyan looked in the direction of Shen Zhi's finger and saw that Yu Zheng had stopped eating and was staring blankly at the paste in the basin in front of him.

Meng Jinyan rang the bell next to the glass cover, and soon two people in white coats put on protective clothing and walked in.

Xiang Wu, who was completely ignored by the two of them, looked at Meng Yiyan, who was as clear and majestic as a mangosteen, carefully holding Shen Zhi in his arms, and her eyes darkened.

Would anyone like a waste that needs someone to take care of it for food and shelter?

What’s the point of having a high IQ if someone can’t even interact normally with others?

Xiang Wu lowered her eyes and glanced calmly at Xie Weiran who was charging ahead for her.

She will definitely be the person in charge of the laboratory.

"Let's go," Xiang Wu and Xie Weiran left, and their eyes happened to meet Fu Ren who was standing at the door. That beautiful face like a peach blossom was so gorgeous that even Xiang Wu couldn't help but be dazed when she looked at it.

Then he thought of how Fu Ren had abused his power for personal gain to take care of Shen Zhiduo on the way to Tonglan. He couldn't help but frown, disgust flashed in his eyes, and he left quickly.

Fu Ren inadvertently sensed Xiang Wu's aggressive gaze, and walked to Shen Zhi's side without caring, holding his hand, "It's time for dinner, let's go back and eat?"

Shen Zhi saw through the glass that Yu Zheng was forced to drink a glass of water and then resumed eating, then he slowly shifted his attention to Fu Ren.

Shen Zhi subconsciously looked at Meng Yiyan.

Meng Yiyan smiled at Shen Zhi soothingly, then turned to Fu Ren and said, "Xiao Zhi, he will live in the house prepared for him by the laboratory, or live at my place."

Fu Ren seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke and retorted, "On what basis?"

Meng Jinyan's eyes were always gentle when he looked at Shen Zhi, just like the breeze blowing across the lake and causing faint ripples. Such understated tenderness seemed to penetrate deeper into people's hearts.

"She is my fiancée," Meng Yan said without fear of confronting Fu Ren. He smiled as he passed by Fu Ren and held Shen Zhi's hand tightly, reminding her, "So please keep your distance from your little aunt."

Meng Yiyan looked calm, "Although the ethics and morals in the last days are very weak, I believe that a family with a civilized heritage will not violate human ethics, don't you agree, Fu Ren?"

Fu Ren's eyes were as deep as the sea, deep and unfathomable. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately swung his fist towards Meng Yiyan's face.

Meng Yinyan's pupils shrank and he immediately turned his head to avoid it, reacting quickly and stepping back to the side.

The hair trembled slightly due to the wind from the fist. Fu Ren's fist hit the glass cover directly, making a loud noise, which shocked Yu Zheng who was eating inside and even looked over.

Fu Ren slowly retracted his fist, pointed his icy eyes at Meng Yiyan, and said in a chilling voice, "Uncle, this joke is not funny at all."

Fu Ren's red knuckles were brushed by someone's fingertips. Fu Ren grabbed Shen Zhi's wrist with his backhand and tried his best to control himself.

"You Meng family are all mentally ill lunatics." Fu Ren closed his eyes and put the tip of his nose against the inside of Shen Zhi's wrist. He took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Me too."

"Xiao Zhi, where do you want to go?" Meng Yinyan relaxed his tense brows and asked Shen Zhi for his opinion.

The soft flesh on the inside of Shen Zhi's wrist felt numb and itchy from Fu Ren's breath. He unconsciously retracted his hand, then met Fu Ren's slightly bloodshot eyes and was startled.

"What to choose?" Fu Ren controlled his fierce expression and kissed Shen Zhi's wrist as tenderly as he could. "I gave you a choice, but I don't like the answer you chose."

The warm lips separated as soon as they touched Shen Zhi's skin. Shen Zhi saw that Fu Ren's face was slightly crazy, and he frowned subconsciously. Fu Ren bit his flesh without mercy, leaving a tooth mark that was bleeding.

When Fu Tang reminded him again, Fu Ren remembered that Shen Zhi broke up with him and left without looking back, which was extremely cold-hearted.

It was only now that Fu Ren realized that the next person chosen by Shen Zhi was Meng Yinyan, the hypocritical gentleman from the Meng family whom he hated the most and who appeared to be all good and noble on the surface.

"Fu Ren?!" Meng Yiyan's voice rang out in anger, and he stepped forward to rescue Shen Zhi's slender wrist from Fu Ren's mouth.

Meng Yiyan took out a handkerchief and simply bandaged Shen Zhi's wrist with teeth marks. His gentle eyes showed a hint of heartache, "Xiao Zhi, are you okay?"

Shen Zhi put his fingertips on the handkerchief that Meng Jinyan had wrapped for him, carefully feeling the patterns on it, and shook his head gently.

"I'm with Fu Ren," Shen Zhi said without raising his eyes, and ended their fight easily.

Meng Yiyan didn't understand Shen Zhi's choice, "Xiao Zhi?"

Shen Zhi was directly picked up by Fu Ren and taken away. There was no joy in his eyes. On the way back, Fu Ren casually mentioned as if he was confirming something, "They asked me to find Yang Sen. Do you think I should go?"

Shen Zhi stopped walking, looked up at the bright moonlight, and said indifferently, "You ask me?"

"Should I?" Fu Ren asked again.

Shen Zhi looked directly into Fu Ren's eyes, which contained too many complicated emotions, without any hesitation. His long eyelashes trembled, and his hands hanging by his legs clenched into fists unconsciously.

He should be responsible for retrieving the data and developing the serum.

But……

"Is my opinion important?" Shen Zhi lowered his eyes and asked softly.

Fu Ren did not allow him to evade the question. He pinched Shen Zhi's thin chin and forced him to answer: "It is very important to me."

"So, tell me."

This time, I asked Meng Qinyan, who do you choose?
