"Okay, Liu Yun, you go first. I'll arrange things here. I'll go to Shanghai too!" Linghu Zaichong suddenly blurted out, silencing Zhou Shengwei who was about to speak.
"You cunning old devil, you want to take on students too! Fine, fine, don't glare at me, I'll let you have them this time!"
...
"Miss, you've really put me in a bad situation today. My girlfriend is definitely going to misunderstand me now!" Zhang Lei complained to Tian Xiao with a bitter face. Kong Liang had been automatically upgraded to his girlfriend by him, but it seemed that this was hard to verify.
"What? What misunderstanding?" Zhang Lei didn't know if Tian Xiao was genuinely ignorant or just pretending. Zhang Lei thought he was actually quite innocent.
However, this is quite possible. Tianxiao grew up in a relatively closed environment, and he might not have been used to paying attention to such matters, especially other people's opinions. It's just that Tianxiao is a bit bold when it comes to relationships, which can be described as being passionate and decisive, or, to put it bluntly, a bit naive.
"Sigh, are you really unaware or pretending not to know? If I were to reach out to you in front of your brother Liu Yun!" Zhang Lei said, making a gesture to make his words more vivid.
'Hehe, it's not exactly a loss, I got to touch the pubic hair!' Zhang Lei secretly enjoyed it, his fingers gently twitching as he said, 'I'm probing your inner energy, won't your brother Liu Yun misunderstand?' Zhang Lei wanted to move his hand down a little further. The girl's private parts were still a secret to him. The pictures in the magazines weren't very clear, although the cross-sectional diagrams were quite clear, but what good were they?
However, Zhang Lei still had the desire but not the courage. This place is barely normal now. If it goes any further, he's afraid that this silly Tianxiao will discover that Zhang Lei is using her as a subject for his experiences.
Zhang Lei had no interest in Tian Xiao, nor did he intend to steal Liu Yun's woman. He simply wanted to get his revenge for what he had lost, and this opportunity was too good to pass up for a young boy. It was purely a matter of physiological and hygiene exploration. Men, when given the chance to take advantage, rarely can they resist.
"What misunderstanding? This is how it's always done. But do you know how? You've learned how to do it before, haven't you?" Tianxiao's face showed confusion. "Your hand is in the wrong position. Move it a little to the left, and put your other hand on your chest. That way you can get a more accurate reading!" As she spoke, she moved Zhang Lei's hand to the correct position and placed his other hand on her chest. However, with such a large obstacle there, Zhang Lei only felt a soft, elastic sensation in his hand. He couldn't feel any heartbeat or internal energy.
"It feels so good!" Zhang Lei felt a slight itch in his nose, as if a nosebleed was about to spurt out. He quickly activated his self-monitoring function to control the nosebleed.
Although this kind of superpower has no sound or light effects, when the superpower is activated at a close distance, there will be an abnormal fluctuation, which is as obvious to the superpower user as a light bulb that has been turned on.
"You used your superpower?" Tianxiao's eyes widened in disbelief. What was going on? Using superpowers was such a waste. He was just testing his internal energy.
"Hmm, your internal strength is much deeper than mine. Even without my special abilities, I can't tell how deep it is. You've got real resources!" Zhang Lei reluctantly withdrew his hand, muttering something deliberately so she couldn't hear him.
Tianxiao suddenly felt a little moved. Zhang Lei had actually used his precious special ability just to test his internal energy. Even he himself had at least five or six days' worth of reserves. He wondered how long Zhang Lei would have to store up his internal energy to use it once.
"You silly boy, if you can't figure it out right away, just take a little longer. Why waste your special ability and all that internal energy!" Although Tianxiao was scolding Zhang Lei, even a fool could tell from his tone that he didn't mean it that way.
Zhang Lei almost fainted from regret. "You should have said that sooner! I would have rather sealed my nose with my internal energy to stay a little longer."
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!" Tianxiao patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder, feigning generosity.
"Oh, oh!" Zhang Lei was looking at his two hands, wanting to bring them to his nose and smell them to see what they smelled like. One hand should smell like milk, right? And the other hand...?
Zhang Lei had no qualms about Tian Xiao treating him to a meal, and he didn't even consider the idea of him being a kept man. After all, she was rich. However, thinking about this, he felt a little resentful towards Liu Yun. "It's been dragging on for so long. If I had served the country for a while, I would have been rich too, and then I could have treated everyone."
"I've heard that the poached chicken in Shanghai is really good, let's go eat some!" Although Tianxiao said it as a question, his tone didn't sound like one at all. "You're from Shanghai, you know where to find good poached chicken!"
"I'll eat the chicken, but you can keep the penis for yourself," Zhang Lei muttered.
"What did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing. White-cut chicken is still best made with Sanhuang chicken. I'm sure I can make a chicken that you'll be satisfied with." Zhang Lei didn't dare to say it outright, so he could only sneakily take advantage of the situation. Even though Tian Xiao was already his classmate, Zhang Lei still couldn't treat her as a peer. Her breasts were just too oppressive.
When eating chicken, Zhang Lei deliberately didn't use his hands to pick it up directly. Tian Xiao thought he was the kind of person who was particular about things. "What are you pretending for? If you get it dirty, you can just wash it later." Although the poached chicken was tender, some people said it was so tender that it was like water, but you still had to gnaw off the meat on the bones. Tian Xiao liked the meat on the bones the most, so he ate it with his hands and face covered in oil.
In contrast, Zhang Lei ate much more gracefully, seemingly restrained. Compared to Tian Xiao, he looked like a young girl. If he still had his old appearance, some people might really misunderstand.
Tianxiao, of course, had no idea that Zhang Lei was reluctant to use his hands to grab it, because he was afraid of getting his hands dirty and having to wash them. Before he even had a chance to smell it, Zhang Lei had already made up his mind not to wash his hands for at least three days.
...
"Zhang Lei, you've got quite the attitude! Yesterday, when Brother Sanjiang called you, you didn't even acknowledge him!" After leaving the restaurant, Tian Xiao answered a phone call and walked ahead, whispering something. Just as Zhang Lei was taking advantage of Tian Xiao's distraction and lingered behind her, trying to secretly check the scent on her hands, he was stopped.
"Huh? What? Is he your friend? Someone you know?" Tianxiao turned his head and stood still, waiting for Zhang Lei.
"Oh my, you've hooked up with such a beauty, no wonder you ignored me. Little brother, you know, you wouldn't answer me no matter how much I called you yesterday, making me lose face in front of Sister Minmin!" Gao Sanjiang had somehow acquired a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, putting on an air of sophistication. Not far from him stood a woman in a low-cut black dress, looking quite arrogant; this must be the Sister Minmin he was talking about.
"Hehe, something urgent happened yesterday, I really didn't hear you clearly, I didn't hear you clearly!" Zhang Lei didn't want to hang out with these people. They were not on the same wavelength at all, and there was no benefit in hanging out with them.
"Stop right there! Who was joking around with you? You made me lose face. Tell me, what are you going to do about it?" Gao Sanjiang was known for his fickle nature, and he could turn on anyone in a heartbeat. Besides, he hadn't intended to give Zhang Lei a friendly look in the first place.
Even a fool could tell at this point that these people were there to cause trouble. Tianxiao's brows furrowed slightly, and her small face gained a touch of mature charm. It seemed that frowning was truly a beauty product for a young girl, requiring no makeup. "Want me to help you get rid of them?"
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Lei didn't have that kind of shameless idea of asking for trouble and never letting a woman help him. Besides, although Tian Xiao's body was soft and her breasts smelled good, Zhang Lei carefully savored the feel and smell of her breasts. But Zhang Lei still regarded her as a senior, or at least a senior expert. "Please help me get rid of them!"
"Never mind, you've made great progress lately, you should be able to handle it yourself. Let me see how you perform after your breakthrough, so I can talk to Brother Liu Yun about it!" Tian Xiao said, picking up the phone again. "Right, Brother Liu Yun!"
Their phone bills were clearly reimbursed. Although long-distance calls were expensive, it didn't seem like a big deal, since the mobile company was a state-owned enterprise. The money was just going from one hand to the other. Maybe that wasn't the whole story, but that's what these people really thought.
"It's not that I'm worried about not being able to handle it, I'm just a little worried about not being able to control myself and going too far, which would be difficult to handle later. You know, I don't have your kind of ability!" Because there were other people around, Zhang Lei and the others tried to be as subtle as possible in their words, but the general meaning was clear to everyone.
This is also because Zhang Lei hadn't learned the code words. If she had, they could have communicated using code words, which would have seemed even more eerie.
"It's alright. Brother Liu Yun just called. Your matter is basically settled. He'll be flying to Shanghai soon. You can handle any minor trouble yourself. It's just a matter of saying a few words." Tian Xiao waved the phone in his hand at Zhang Lei.
"Is that so? Then I won't hold back!" A cruel glint flashed in Zhang Lei's eyes. A huge weight had been lifted from his chest. He activated his self-examination. Consider it a favor to them. However, if Zhang Lei hadn't activated his self-examination, he probably wouldn't have been confident in dealing with these people.
During this period, although Zhang Lei thought he hadn't left any loopholes, he was still on tenterhooks, afraid that the matter would be investigated and he would be implicated. In fact, he was indeed questioned by the authorities.
Yes, Zhang Lei is much smarter than his peers, but they are his peers, and how can he compare to those veteran police officers in terms of experience, whether in life or in criminal investigation? He might reveal a flaw without even realizing it.
But with the protection of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange—which can’t be called a license to kill—at least these “minor matters” could no longer disturb his normal life.
Therefore, after a long period of suppression, under the sudden indulgence, Zhang Lei also felt this rampant desire, a desire to look down on all living beings and look down with a different perspective.
This is a very dangerous mindset, so the country must provide some guidance to those with superpowers. The establishment of the National Bureau of Superpowers is also for this reason; otherwise, these individuals with superpowers are very likely to develop this kind of mindset.
"Oh? You don't take me seriously, huh? Brothers, today..." Gao Sanjiang rolled up his sleeves and called his underlings to teach Zhang Lei a lesson, completely unaware of the fate that awaited him.
"Wait, Sanjiang, today is my birthday, let's just skip it!" Minmin said from the side.
"But?" "What? You're not listening to what I'm saying anymore?"
