Zhao Qiang said, "Zhao Mingming, wait for me at the door."
Zhao Mingming said, "Should I wait for you at the door? What if someone shoots at me?"
Zhao Qiang said, "No, you can go out now."
Helpless, Zhao Mingming could only peek out cautiously. At that moment, Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan were also peeking out from the corridor, and the three almost bumped into each other. With Zhao Qiang backing her up, Zhao Mingming wasn't too afraid of Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan. She snorted and stood in the corridor. Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan didn't dare to do anything to Zhao Mingming because Luo Wei was inside. If they angered Zhao Qiang, who knew if they would hurt Luo Wei? Although Luo Wei had asked to go in, if things got out of hand, the government officials wouldn't care whether Luo Wei went in voluntarily or not; they would definitely hold Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan accountable.
Only Zhao Qiang and Luo Wei remained in the room. Zhao Qiang asked, "We must have known each other before."
Luo Wei smiled but didn't answer. It would be better if Zhao Qiang could think of this himself. Zhao Qiang continued, "However, I can't remember because I've lost many memories. If I try to think too deeply, I'll fall into a strange state of suspended animation."
Luo Wei said, "If you remember us one day, you will definitely come looking for us, so we will wait."
Zhao Qiang nodded: "You came to see me because you need something?"
Luo Wei said, "No."
Zhao Qiang fell silent. If he hadn't come to see him for something, then why?
Luo Wei said, "Zhao Qiang, don't you want to know what happened between us in the past?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "It would be best if I could remember. If I can't, I'll keep thinking. It's better than what other people say."
Luo Wei said, "This is my business card. I hope we can keep in touch in the future." Luo Wei handed Zhao Qiang a business card.
Zhao Qiang took it and put it in his pocket, saying, "Okay, I'll visit you when I have time. It might remind me of something, but the current situation hasn't been resolved yet, so I'm sorry."
Luo Wei said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you. Hehe, I see you're quite busy, so I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
Luo Wei stepped out of the confinement cell, and Zhao Mingming immediately came in and asked, "Brother-in-law, what did she say to you?"
Zhao Qiang said, "They gave me a business card; they probably admire me."
Zhao Mingming said, "My God, she's the chairman of Haifeng Group, and you actually say she admires you? You're too arrogant."
Zhao Qiang didn't feel embarrassed at all. He sensed that Luo Wei and his former self must have had an ambiguous relationship, otherwise, given her status and personality, she would never have gone so far as to meet with him.
In the corridor, Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan watched as Luo Wei emerged from the confinement cell. They chased after her, asking, "Chairwoman Luo, what's your relationship with the person inside? He didn't harm you, did he?"
Luo Wei shrugged and said, "What do you think? I'm perfectly fine. I just admire him. Goodbye."
After saying that, Luo Wei left without looking back, as if she was a little angry. Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan were puzzled and hurriedly followed behind Luo Wei to see her off. However, no matter how much the two of them pleaded, Luo Wei did not stay to accept the banquet.
Luo Wei made this angry expression not because Zhao Qiang didn't recognize her, but to show the Chen family. She pretended to be angry so that the Chen family would know that Zhao Qiang didn't remember her. Otherwise, how could Chen Kezong allow Zhao Qiang to get closer to his family?
The scene returned to calm, and the armed police received orders from above to hold their positions temporarily. This greatly worried Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan. The two discussed with the armed police company commander, saying, "The situation cannot remain deadlocked like this. It will escalate the impact. Several main roads passing through the Public Security Bureau have been blocked, and there is a lot of skepticism from the public outside. We must resolve this crisis immediately."
The company commander asked, "Don't you have any suspicion that the people inside are related to the chairman of Haifeng Group who just came in?"
Wang Yifan said, "Ah, didn't she say it was okay?"
The company commander said with a hint of mockery, "Do you believe that?"
Zhang Feng pondered, "This is indeed unusual. Could we have been deceived by that Zhao fellow?"
Wang Yifan said, "If he had such a background and connections, wouldn't he have said so earlier? Why wait until now?"
Zhang Feng said, "Some people are like that; they always like to act mysterious. Maybe they've set a trap and are just waiting for us to fall into it."
Wang Yifan said, "Then what do you suggest we do? Should we go in and beg Zhao Qiang for forgiveness?"
Zhang Feng retorted, "Is that even possible? You need to understand, right now he's a bandit and we're government soldiers. At most, we won't pursue this matter."
The sound of helicopters flapping through the air could be heard from above. When the officers and soldiers of the Armed Police Force looked up, they were startled. They didn't know when three military helicopters had appeared overhead. Helicopters are usually very noisy, and their roar could be heard from a distance before they appeared. But now, when did they get so close to their heads? No one knew. These three military helicopters only made the sound of airflow, without the noise of their engines.
"This, this type of helicopter is powered by batteries," the company commander recognized at a glance.
Zhang Feng asked, "Is there anything different? What does the appearance of this helicopter mean?" As Zhang Feng asked, he felt a sense of anticipation, thinking that reinforcements had arrived.
The company commander said, "This means that special forces have arrived. They don't have official numbers, but they are responsible for counter-terrorism and emergency response. Their status has now far surpassed that of regular troops. They are the most powerful military branch in our country."
Wang Yifan said, "So mysterious? We haven't heard a single thing about it."
The company commander said, "I know nothing about it either. This is just a rumor circulating in the army. Otherwise, how could I not know their official numbers?"
Zhang Feng exclaimed with delight, "The most powerful special forces are saved! That damned Zhao Qiang, he has too much contempt for the power of the nation. This time, we'll teach him a lesson. A battle between special abilities and special forces—this will definitely be the most exciting scene of this century!"
Military helicopters landed in the yard and on the road, and more than twenty soldiers wearing helmets jumped out. They had no insignia to prove their identity, but their imposing presence and murderous aura chilled all the armed police soldiers. No one dared to think they were imposters. In China, not just anyone can own a helicopter, especially one that was clearly a military model.
Finally, a young officer with a distinctly feminine air came down. He coldly surveyed the scene, and the company commander immediately ran over, saluted, and introduced himself. The young officer waved his hand and walked straight into the office building. The company commander hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Sir, it's dangerous inside!"
A soldier following behind the young officer waved to the company commander, who then swallowed back what he was about to say.

Volume 2 [483] Does it really have a background?
[483] Does he have any background?
The sound of military boots clapping on the floor was particularly harsh. Zhao Mingming, already somewhat numb, said, "Who's coming this time, brother-in-law? You have a lot of admirers."
Zhao Qiang said, "There's nothing I can do, I'm just too handsome."
Zhao Mingming made a vomiting gesture. At this moment, the door that hadn't been closed was pushed open, and the young officer walked in. Without waiting for Zhao Qiang to ask any questions, he said directly, "I am Yang Shiqi. Please introduce yourself."
Zhao Qiang looked Yang Shiqi up and down. His head started to ache again. He had no choice but to force himself to restart his biochip, otherwise someone could easily take his life in this dangerous situation.
"Zhao Qiang." Zhao Qiang stood up and responded.
Yang Shiqi said with a hint of jealousy, "You really know how to pick names. You didn't come up with them yourself, did you?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "It's probably just a coincidence. Maybe my name used to be Zhao Qiang."
Yang Shiqi shook her head: "It seems you really haven't remembered anything from before. That's fine, it saves you from getting annoyed by a bunch of chattering women. Are you hungry?"
Zhao Qiang nodded, "It's alright, they don't provide meals here, so we have to endure the hunger."
Yang Shiqi said, "Given your temperament, you're the most gluttonous. Luckily, I brought some food with me. Let's eat together." As she spoke, the soldiers who had followed her brought in a large box and then laid out the contents one by one. It turned out to be steaming hot meat, as well as several bottles of Moutai. Judging from the age, they were not cheap products; ordinary people would find it difficult to buy even if they had money.
Zhao Qiang felt his stomach was empty. He wasn't wary of Yang Shiqi because he found a sense of familiarity with her, similar to that of Hu Qian and Luo Wei. However, Zhao Qiang didn't dare to delve too deeply into Yang Shiqi's true identity in his memory, as that would cause his brain to crash again. Although Yang Shiqi probably didn't mean any harm, Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan were still watching him from the outside.
Then, soldiers wearing helmets came in and set out two chairs for Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiqi. The two sat in front of a plastic table, while Zhao Mingming stood behind Zhao Qiang, staring longingly at the cooked food and licking his lips.
Seeing Zhao Qiang staring at her, Yang Shiqi suddenly blushed and covered Zhao Qiang's glasses with her hand, saying, "Don't you dare scan me in public? Aren't you ashamed?"
Zhao Qiang was really wondering whether the officer was a man or a woman. He had already activated his X-ray glasses and was about to see through Yang Shiqi's uniform, but she blocked him, so he had to give up. However, this made Zhao Qiang even more convinced that these people must have a very deep connection with his past self. Otherwise, how would she know the special features of his glasses? But they were not in a hurry to recognize each other. Could there be some profound meaning behind this?
Zhao Qiang called out to Zhao Mingming, "Let's eat together." Zhao Mingming couldn't wait any longer, grabbed a pig's trotter and started gnawing on it without a care for appearances, exclaiming how delicious it was. Yang Shiqi said, "Luo Wei made this; it's your favorite."
Zhao Qiang nodded, it seemed they knew each other, so he casually asked, "Where's Hu Qian?"
Yang Shiqi said, "She said she's not coming."
Zhao Qiang said, "Tell her to stop trying to give me money by cracking her own company's software. I don't need it, and I won't touch Rednet Technology's software again." Zhao Qiang guessed these questions after a little thought, since Hu Qian's identity wasn't exactly a secret, but he hadn't thought much about it before.
Yang Shiqi giggled and leaned closer to Zhao Qiang, saying, "You really are a super brain. You understand things so quickly. You know, some people say that the super biochip in your brain has evolved and is now the most powerful chip in terms of computing power on Earth."
Zhao Qiang was not surprised. Yang Shiqi exuded a woman's aura, and he could tell her gender without using his X-ray vision. Otherwise, she wouldn't be talking to him so intimately. Zhao Qiang didn't think that he would like men now or in the past; his sexual orientation was normal.
"Why don't you just tell me about what happened before?" Zhao Qiang asked.
Yang Shiqi lowered her voice even further, "Some people disagree, but we all have to listen to her because she said your brain can't handle the stimulation and will crash, which would put you in great danger. You see how many people I have with me? I'm also afraid that I might say something wrong that could put you into a state of unresponsiveness, so I have to protect your safety."
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "No, it won't happen as long as I don't actively think about it."
Yang Shiqi said, "That's good. I've already said a lot of things I shouldn't have said, but I just couldn't help it."
Zhao Qiang said, "Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything more. I'll remember it myself."
Yang Shiqi said, "That's good. You're in the south, so be careful. After all, that's not our sphere of influence. If it weren't for Baiyuan City, we probably wouldn't have dared to show up. You should keep these things to yourself and not tell anyone, not even the two girls surnamed Zhao and Chen."
Zhao Qiang seemed to be deep in thought. He had found a clue, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he picked up a greasy pig's trotter and started gnawing on it.
Yang Shiqi refilled Zhao Qiang's glass, then stood up and said, "I'm leaving. Staying here too long might not be a good thing. Here's my contact information. I hope you can chat with me sometime, because you're the only person in this world who interests me."
After the man left, Zhao Mingming, his mouth greasy from eating, asked Zhao Qiang, "Brother-in-law, what was that effeminate soldier whispering to you about?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Just eat yours. She only likes me because I'm handsome."
Zhao Mingming exclaimed in surprise, "No way, you even sleep with men? I'm going to tell my sister."
Zhang Feng and Wang Yifan were dumbfounded as they watched the three military helicopters drive away. They had followed them into the corridor to observe them secretly. They had discovered that the soldiers had only come to deliver wine and food to Zhao Qiang. Why was that?
Wang Yifan said, "Oh no, there's something fishy going on here. We've messed things up."
Zhang Feng asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Yifan said, "Haven't you realized yet that Zhao Qiang isn't just lacking connections, but rather that his connections are incredibly powerful?"
Zhang Feng could easily see it. Even if he hadn't noticed it before, he understood as soon as Wang Yifan reminded him. "What... what do we do?"
Wang Yifan said, "You're the mayor, how would I know what to do?"
Zhang Feng said, "I think we should quickly notify Secretary Qiao to come back; the two of us can't solve this."
Upon learning of Zhao Mingming's appearance at the hospital, Yang Peng, despite his injuries, had a wheelchair pushed him to Zhao Shan's ward. Yang Peng was smug because his father told him that Zhao Mingming and Zhao Qiang, who had injured his friends in the ward, had been brought to justice and were currently suffering inhuman torture in the police station's detention room. Hearing this good news, Yang Peng felt much better.
Yang Peng entered the ward and his first words were a loud curse: "You old bastard, your son is finished this time. If I don't kill him, I'll change my surname to yours!"
Zhao Ling was furious and tried to push Yang Peng, but was instead pushed down onto the hospital bed by the men protecting him. Chen Xinxin tried to help, but she was just a weak woman and no match for the men. She was quickly tied to the bed with a sheet. Later, Chen Shuxian resisted and the two women were freed, but they dared not confront Yang Peng directly again.
Yang Peng became even more smug, his smile almost twitching. "Zhao Mingming, you're no match for me. You're far too inexperienced."
Lying on the hospital bed, Zhao Shan was nearly fainting from anger. All of this was caused by his son, so how could he not be angry? He wished he could kill himself. Guo Huiqin could only cry. She was a weak woman and had no power. Every day, she only hoped that her children would be well and not cause trouble for the family, that her husband would be healthy, and that the family would live in harmony. She could not bear such a change.
Chen Xinxin shouted, "Yang Peng, I will definitely kill you!"
Yang Peng said, "I'll let you off the hook for saying that because you're a beautiful woman. Otherwise, I'd sue you for threatening and intimidating a beautiful woman. Remember, only say that if you have the power, otherwise you'll make a fool of yourself. I might even kill you, but you're not qualified."
With tears streaming down her face, Zhao Ling said, "You won't be smug for long."
Yang Peng said, "Is that so? Your brother and Zhao Qiang have already been arrested and taken to the police station. What else can you do? Let me tell you, this is Baiyuan City, a society that values fairness and the law. It's not a place where you can do whatever you want just because you think you can beat me with your fists. I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I'm going to go after He Shan. I want Zhao Mingming to see me and He Shan being intimate. I want him to taste the pain of losing his love." Yang Peng was really vicious.
A sharp female voice came from the doorway: "Yang Peng, you're dreaming!"
Yang Peng looked up and saw that it was He Shan. It turned out that she had learned about the incident at the Municipal Public Security Bureau not long after she left. Considering that Zhao Mingming and Zhao Qiang were currently fugitives, He Shan was worried and came back to check on them.
Yang Peng smiled and said, "He Shan? You've come at the right time. Zhao Mingming has been arrested. Now you should give up. I'm not afraid to tell you, my dad has already pulled some strings. He'll get at least a decade or so in prison. You don't need to wait for him anymore, so just come with me."
He Shan pointed at the door and yelled, "Yang Peng, why don't you just die? Get out! Leave this ward! You're not welcome here!"
Yang Peng was not surprised by He Shan's attitude; otherwise, would he have needed to drug her? If He Shan had hesitated even slightly, he would have won her over with sweet talk. However, He Shan was not greedy for money, so Yang Peng was forced into this situation.
Yang Peng sneered, "Get out of here? I beg you to see the situation clearly. It's probably you who should be leaving. Don't stay here and get in my way. If you don't leave the hospital today, I'm telling you, you can expect to end up in the morgue tomorrow, hahaha..."
