Early in the morning on the seventh day, Li Tianming left the hotel with the excuse that he had something to do.
Just as Li Tianming had left, Qin Siyang knocked on Zhang Kuang's room door.
Zhang Kuang still looked like he hadn't woken up, "Xiao Qin, what's the matter?"
"Director Zhang, can we talk inside?"
"Ah... oh, sure."
Qin Siyang entered Zhang Kuang's room and immediately told him about Li Tianming's plan to kill his wife.
Li Tianming had once told him that Zhang Kuang was someone who could be absolutely trusted.
So, the first thing he thought of was to discuss this matter with Zhang Kuang.
Li Tianming had saved his life, so there was no way he would let him take the risk alone.
Zhang Kuang's frown deepened as he listened, full of worry.
"Old Li told us he was going to the 3rd district to visit President Han at Central Glory University. Turns out he's going to kill Ye Hongqing."
Qin Siyang nodded, "Director Zhang, I think Old Li might run into danger if he goes."
"I think this is a trap set by Guo Jiuxiao, just waiting for Old Li to fall into it."
"Guo Jiuxiao didn't want to risk offending President Zhao by dealing with Old Li directly, so he used Ye Hongqing as a scapegoat."
"If Old Li doesn't kill Ye Hongqing, the research results will be sold out. If he does kill Ye Hongqing, Guo Jiuxiao can lie in wait and catch Old Li red-handed."
Zhang Kuang agreed, "You're right. Places like the 3rd district. Old Li should avoid them as much as possible."
"Why?"
"Do you still remember why Old Li was demoted to your crappy school as principal?"
"Mm. Said he caused the death of dozens in Area 14121. Wasn't that accusation cleared?"
"The charges were cleared, but people did die. The real culprit wasn't caught. The families will still blame Li Tianming."
"Director Zhang, I'm not saying human lives are meaningless. I'm just curious. That broken zone where I was born didn't even have a few Sequences. Even if the families of the dead blamed Old Li, what could they do?"
"Who told you the dead were people from Area 14121?"
"Huh? They weren't?"
"Things have status, and people have classes. If the dead were from Area 14121, then it really wouldn't matter. Even if Old Li went mad and killed hundreds or thousands, someone could still cover it up for him."
"The dead were a poverty relief team sent to Area 14121. All of them were Central Glory University students doing social practice in the safe zone. Old Li and I were in charge of leading the team."
"The dead were all children from good families."
"No wonder... I was thinking, I've killed people and nothing happened. How come Old Li got erased all the way from being a university professor?"
"Speaking of which, this matter is also unlucky. While Old Li and I stepped out to smoke a cigarette, the entire poverty relief team was wiped out. There were even witnesses who claimed to have seen someone resembling Old Li."
Qin Siyang asked, "That person pretending to be Old Li…"
"Old Li already read the memory from Zhou Xing's head. Zhou Xing, the local tyrant of Area 14121, was involved. It was Ye Hongqing who impersonated Old Li. At the time, Ye Hongqing went with us. I thought it was just because we were all close and traveling together."
"Didn't expect it was to harm the both of us."
"In the end, Old Li was named the main culprit, and I was the accomplice. We both got stripped of everything," After saying that, Zhang Kuang smoothed out his messy hair.
"This Guo Jiuxiao just won't stop, time after time."
Qin Siyang said, "Old Li probably can't beat Guo Jiuxiao now, right?"
"Beat my ass. No chance. If his research had worked out, he could suppress Guo Jiuxiao. But now the materials aren't even gathered."
Zhang Kuang's judgment was the same as what Li Tianming had told him earlier.
"Then Old Li is in even more danger. Guo Jiuxiao must be waiting for him. Director Zhang, what do you think?"
"If he had told me the truth, I definitely wouldn't have let him go alone."
"There's still time now."
"Wait a bit, let me think."
"Think about what?"
"Think about who to take to help Old Li."
"Hmm?"
"Guo Jiuxiao must have planted spies here. Any movement, he'll know immediately."
"If we all move together, it'll draw attention."
"We have to leave some people behind to act casual. Then send a group secretly to help Old Li."
"To avoid exposure, it's best Old Li doesn't even know someone is helping him."
Qin Siyang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
'As expected of Director Zhang.'
'Usually he looks like he is always yawning, laid-back, and unkempt.'
'But when something happens, he comes up with a plan so quickly.'
Zhang Kuang counted on his fingers: "Chang Da is in charge of central coordination, he definitely can't go. Chang Ning and Wu Yu's abilities are more suited outside the safe zone. They make too much noise inside."
"Hao Liang, the pharmaceutical guy, should go. And Lu Daoxing, who has God-Hunting Weapons, can help too."
"Will Professor Hao and Professor Lu agree?"
Zhang Kuang replied calmly, "They were both brought up by Old Li back in the day. If they don't agree, they can get lost."
It was the first time Qin Siyang heard Zhang Kuang speak so decisively.
And in his sleepy eyes, there was a faint gleam of sharp light.
Qin Siyang nodded, "Then it's the four of us?"
Zhang Kuang was surprised, "Four? You're going too? Why are you going?"
"Of course I'm going! Don't worry, I'll follow orders and won't act on my own."
Zhang Kuang shook his head, "I don't doubt your ability. You can even kill Thunder Snow Wolves, so you won't drag us down."
"But right now, you're the Vice President of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce. Too many people are watching you. If you disappear for a while, it'll definitely draw attention."
"I've got a way around that!"
———
"What? You're going out of the safe zone to hunt gods again?"
Zhao Longfei's scar twitched nonstop after hearing Qin Siyang's words.
Qin Siyang nodded, ["Mm, I'm leaving now! Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"]
After saying that, Qin Siyang dove into the vehicle and drove straight toward Exit 213 of the safe zone.
"Damn it, what's wrong with this brat? Can't stay put for a second."
Zhao Longfei immediately made a phone call, "Hey, Big Bro, gotta tell you something. That brat Qin Siyang ran off again…"
After leaving Exit 213, Qin Siyang immediately took the invisibility potion made by Hao Liang.
He sped along the route outside the safe zone.
A few hours later, he arrived at Exit 456 of the safe zone.
This was another safe zone exit in the 9th district.
He put on a first-tier helmet and armor designed to conceal identity, sprayed himself with a scent-masking potion, and re-entered the safe zone.
In the parking lot of Safe Zone 456, he found an inconspicuous gray sedan, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.
"Phew, Director Zhang, Professor Hao, Professor Lu, thanks for waiting! Let's go!"
Zhang Kuang exclaimed, "You little brat, so full of tricks."
Hao Liang nodded too, "This tactic, openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the old warehouse, is really well used!"
Lu Daoxing said, "Everyone's here, let's move!"
Then, the car transformed into a capsule pod and slowly sank underground.
The parking lot was quiet. The sudden appearance of an empty parking space didn't attract any attention.
