Huo Jiujian suddenly panicked. He had always been extremely wary of people, and had never been trusted so directly before.
"Aren't you afraid I'll report you?" Huo Jiujian asked with difficulty. "If you're reported, you'll..."
Lai Haoren shrugged helplessly. Of course he was afraid. Even after living for hundreds of years, he was still afraid of dying, especially the kind of death where one is reduced to ashes. However, he said, "When you couldn't find me in the gene pool, I had already been completely exposed."
Therefore, whether Lai Haoren talks about those later developments or not makes no difference. In any case, if Huo Jiujian wants to kill him, it seems easy for him right now.
Of course, Huo Jiujian wasn't that bored. He knew too many people's secrets, and reporting them would be completely self-defeating.
It's just unexpected that, in the nearly thousand years since the formation of the new world order, the only permanent resident of the safe zone who wasn't banished to the quarantine zone because he fell off the Sunshine Rich List is actually this guy's father.
It seems that not only the things Lai Haoren invented, but also the things his father invented, and even Lai Haoren himself, have too many secrets to uncover.
"But we only have five minutes left. Is this all you wanted to talk to me about?"
Seeing Huo Jiujian deep in thought, Lai Haoren couldn't help but ask.
Of course not!
"You know there's a problem with the circulating water, right?"
Lai Haoren smirked: "There are only four minutes and thirty seconds left. Obviously, it's not just the circulating water; everything in this world has a problem. Or are you planning to discuss those problematic aspects with me in the next four minutes?"
Of course not.
"I've found a way to neutralize toxins in circulating water," Huo Jiujian said.
"Then congratulations, you can save a considerable amount of money on drinking natural water."
"......"
Intentional! This was absolutely intentional!
Huo Jiujian, who was always good at reading people's minds, suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Lai Haoren. These seemingly correct but meaningless replies were clearly revenge for the fright he had given him earlier.
Fortunately, both of them were smart. With only three minutes left, even though the portal could be used only once, they decided to save time and avoid making multiple trips.
So Huo Jiujian provided the formula, and Lai Haoren provided the technology; the two hit it off immediately.
To hell with that Patent Law clause that prohibits collaborative invention!
Huo Jiujian had his own reasons. The circulating water had been a knot in his heart for hundreds of years, and he was terrified if it wasn't untied. Besides, he had indeed lived long enough and no longer wanted to watch the world continue to be so hypocritical.
Lai Haoren, on the other hand, had been preparing all along.
It's worth noting that Lai Yongding's expulsion was largely due to his father Kang Shuaifu's influence. However, Lai Haoren still has to thank his father; if his father hadn't been in the quarantine zone, how could he have met his mother and miraculously given birth to him?
It's important to understand that, theoretically, it's impossible for two separate individuals to naturally conceive a child. However, it's clear that his mother is a genetically modified individual.
If they were working alone, Huo Jiujian could only sell intelligence, and Lai Haoren could only produce small-scale projects. But now, the two are not only cooperating, but also have the support of wealthy patrons in their exclusive zones, which immediately gives them a stronger backing.
......
......
Liu Yu, walking along the path from the dormitory area to the teaching area, wasn't feeling well. Although he was used to being the center of attention, the attention he felt now seemed completely different from usual.
A group of girls walked by.
"So this is Liu Yu."
"Tsk tsk, you really can't tell from normal circumstances."
"So you're a hypocrite, a real scumbag."
"Keep your voice down, he's a magician."
"Since we've already done it, why should we be afraid of what others say?"
...
Although the girls were whispering, they weren't deliberately lowering their voices, and Liu Yu was listening intently, so he naturally overheard them all.
It really was that matter!
It really was that woman!
Liu Yu guessed it was Wu Qunfang right away, thinking that she must have given up and was shameless enough to make him lose face as well.
However, Liu Yu always believed that as long as the man didn't admit it, the woman had no recourse unless she gave birth to the child.
So I became more at ease.
As he walked down to the teaching building, a woman suddenly ran towards him. Before he could even see who it was, Liu Yu felt a ringing in his ears and a crisp slap landed on his face.
Before I could even react, a sharp, abusive voice rang out: "Liu Yu! You scum!"
When the ringing in his ears finally stopped, Liu Yu finally saw who had slapped him, so he retaliated without hesitation by slapping them back.
"Are you crazy?! You just beat people up whenever you see them?"
That's right, the person who came was Wu Qunfang.
An unplanned pregnancy is a blow enough for a high school student. Wu Qunfang had hoped that Liu Yu might have some reliable solution, but after being rejected, she could only desperately try to cover it up herself. Little did she expect that upon returning to school, her affair with Liu Yu would become the common knowledge of the entire school.
Since I was involved, I naturally couldn't talk about such a thing, so the only one who could have made it known throughout the school was Liu Yu.
Since that's the case, all we can do is try to gain sympathy.
But Wu Qunfang didn't expect that Liu Yu would retaliate so ruthlessly in the face of her slap. Did he still think about maintaining his image?
Because of the noise, the classmates who had been secretly watching Liu Yu and Wu Qunfang gathered around without any hesitation, openly watching the excitement.
