"Stop laughing!" Yu Tang felt awkwardly uncomfortable and pushed Cheng Luo away, saying, "Also, stop doing it. We need to get ready. Zhang Zhe will come later..."
I tried to run away, but was pulled back; the impact was incredibly intense.
Cheng Luo pinned her down, forcing her fingers to intertwine with the young man's and press them into the sheets.
The sudden acceleration of the offensive pulled Yu Tang back into the vortex.
Cheng Luo laughed behind him and said, "Since there's only half an hour left, we can't afford to waste a single minute."
Chapter 15
Died for the villain for the third time (15)
Half an hour later, Yu Tang's hands were shaking as he dressed.
My back aches and my legs feel weak; I have to hold onto a wall to maintain my posture.
They opened the door for Zhang Zhe and let him in.
"Here, throat lozenges." Zhang Zhe handed the lozenges to Yu Tang, completely unaware of the latter's expression, which looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
He sniffed, puzzled, "What's that smell?"
Yu Tang was so startled that she almost dropped the throat lozenge from her hand.
He coughed and forced a smile as he explained, "It's probably been too long since anyone lived here. I just got back and haven't had time to clean it yet, so it has a slightly musty smell."
"Oh, I see." Zhang Zhe got the explanation and didn't ask any more questions.
His gaze fell on the young man standing behind Yu Tang, playing with a 17th-order Rubik's Cube, and he asked in a low voice, "Is that Cheng Luo?"
“Hmm…” Yu Tang tugged at Cheng Luo’s sleeve: “Luo Luo, his name is Zhang Zhe, he’s my friend, you can call him Brother Zhang.”
Cheng Luo stopped her flying fingers, looked at Zhang Zhe, her clear, bright eyes revealing an innocent smile: "Hello, Brother Zhang!"
Although it was Yu Tang who made him call him that, hearing his adorable tone and recalling the wicked devil from earlier, Yu Tang still couldn't help but get goosebumps all over.
Zhang Zhe felt his heart race as he was being stared at like that.
He pulled Yu Tang aside and whispered, "You told me before that Cheng Luo wasn't a bad person, but I didn't believe you."
"Now that I've seen the real person, I believe it."
"He's so good-looking and well-behaved. Honestly, if I didn't like girls, I would want to pursue him."
Yu Tang stared at Zhang Zhe in shock.
Goodness, bro, you've got guts!
"If you like her, go for it!" Yu Tang said with a broad smile. "I support you!"
Zhang Zhe waved his hand: "Never mind, I was just joking. He's so powerful, I'm afraid I can't handle him."
After saying this, he caught a glimpse of the marks on Yu Tang's neck out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but reach out and touch them, muttering, "What is this? Could it be mud?"
Swoosh—
A dark shadow brushed past his ear, and Zhang Zhe cried out in pain, covering his ear with his hand. When he took it off, it was stained with blood.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Tang was also bewildered. He looked in the direction the dark figure had gone and found that the 17th-order Rubik's Cube that Cheng Luo had been playing with was now embedded in the wall of the room, with cracks spreading outwards, showing how much force the person who threw it had used.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Brother Zhang!" Cheng Luo walked over in a panic, the shackles on his body rattling. He apologized to Zhang Zhe, "I didn't... I didn't hold it properly just now, it slipped, I'm really sorry!"
Yu Tang couldn't help but twitch his lips: You call this a slip of the hand?
He was certain that if Zhang Zhe had stood a little more to the left, the Rubik's Cube wouldn't have only scratched Zhang Zhe's ear.
That force was clearly aimed at a headshot!
"N-nothing." Zhang Zheren was still in a daze. He looked up and saw Cheng Luo's expression as if he was about to cry. He couldn't bear to scold him, so he could only say that nothing was wrong.
"What are you still standing there for?" Yu Tang shoved Cheng Luo: "Go get the first-aid kit from the cabinet on the west side."
Cheng Luo brought over the first-aid kit. When he saw that Yu Tang was going to apply the medicine to Zhang Zhe himself, his eyes darkened. He snatched the bandage and medicine and said, "Let me apply the medicine for Brother Zhang. After all, it was my fault, and I want to make it up to him!"
"You..." Yu Tang was about to refuse when he met Cheng Luo's threatening gaze, and in the end he had no choice but to give in.
Fortunately, Cheng Luo did not intend to kill him again. He quickly applied medicine and bandages to Zhang Zhe.
After putting the remaining bandages back in the box, Cheng Luo looked disappointed. After hesitating several times, he finally said, "Brother Zhang, I heard from Tangtang that the boss wants you to arrange a separate place for me, is that right?"
"Hmm..." Zhang Zhe nodded: "I came here this time to take you to choose a room you like. After all, you can't always stay with Yu Tang."
“But I…” Cheng Luo clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice filled with sadness, “I just want to live with Tangtang.”
"I can't sleep well without him by my side..."
With a pleading look in her eyes, Cheng Luo looked at Zhang Zhe and said, "So, Brother Zhang, could you put in a good word for me with the boss?"
I really, really want to live with Tangtang, so please don't arrange any other accommodation for me!
He patted his chest and promised, "As long as I can live with Tangtang, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization with double the effort and will never let the boss down!"
His tone of voice, combined with his unparalleled good looks, makes him incredibly adorable.
Yu Tang, who was watching from the side, was stunned.
Not to mention Zhang Zhe, who is a serious sucker for good looks.
"Alright! I'll take care of this!" Zhang Zhe stood up. "I'll go report your situation to the boss right now and help you get the right to share a room with Yu Tang!"
Yu Tang: ?
Did you ask for my opinion?
Yu Tang was completely stunned.
He absolutely doesn't want to live with Cheng Luo!
Thinking about Cheng Luo's obviously unsatisfied look just now, he was really afraid that if the two of them lived together in the future, he would die in bed before he could complete the mission and fake his death!
"Zhang Zhe..." He was about to stop the man with a boastful look when he felt a warm, dry hand placed on the back of his neck and gently stroking it.
Cheng Luo, who was standing up, was a few centimeters taller than him. She leaned down slightly and pressed her lips to his ear.
"If you don't want him to end up like that wall, don't say anything unnecessary."
Yu Tang looked at the wall with the Rubik's Cube embedded in it and imagined what would happen if Zhang Zhe's entire body cracked open like the wall...
"Hmm? What's wrong, Yu Tang?"
Yu Tang snapped out of his daze and immediately shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
After seeing Zhang Zhe off, Cheng Luo locked the door, pulled the 17x17 Rubik's Cube out of the wall, and solved it in less than two minutes with swift, flying fingers.
It was slammed onto the table with a thud, startling Yu Tang.
He looked at the man in front of him, his smile no longer showing the innocence he had shown moments before.
"What exactly is your relationship with this Zhang Zhe?" He walked up to Yu Tang, his height imposing, and his handsome face, if expressionless, would look particularly sinister.
This made Yu Tang, who had clearly done nothing wrong, very uneasy.
"Oh my, he's clearly jealous!" The system, which had been silent for a long time, finally popped up.
He was blocked at crucial moments, which was truly tragic.
Yu Tang complained to the system: Others get jealous for money, but he gets jealous for his life!
Yu Tang: He almost killed Zhang Zhe just now!
"Not going to talk?" Cheng Luo narrowed his eyes, his expression growing even colder. He reached out and touched the spot on Yu Tang's neck that Zhang Zhe had just touched, frowning as he rubbed it until it turned red, as if it would bleed at any moment.
"Hiss..." Yu Tang gasped in pain before Cheng Luo stopped.
“He and I are just colleagues.” Yu Tang said with a helpless expression, “He’s someone who can be trusted to speak with people in the base.”
"You don't need to care about him so much."
He took the initiative to approach Cheng Luo, grasped his hand, and sighed: "Besides, didn't we agree to overthrow the organization together?"
Violence alone is not enough; we also need to gather compelling evidence and report it to the state before we can eliminate this massive force in one fell swoop.
He looked at Cheng Luo earnestly and gently advised him, "So, you must calm down and stop getting angry for no reason, okay?"
Cheng Luo gazed at the man before her silently for a long time.
She finally pursed her lips and apologized, a rare occurrence for her: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
The fierceness in his eyes dissipated considerably. He hugged Yu Tang, his tone slightly coquettish: "Then please don't let him touch you again, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang knew that he had returned to normal. Just as he was about to say yes, he heard the young man add a sinister remark.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I might not be able to resist chopping off his hand."
Chapter 16
Died for the villain for the third time (16)
Yu Tang felt a chill run down his spine. After a pause, he said, "I understand..."
In the time that followed, accompanied by Yu Tang, Cheng Luo underwent hundreds of ability tests at the request of higher-ups.
After the researchers had pushed his brain and body to their limits, they put him into a closed space.
Even if there were some mechanisms in that space that could be used for testing, they couldn't be as accurate as the data obtained by Cheng Luo standing in front of them and undergoing the tests.
This was the first time Yu Tang met those twelve top researchers who held important positions within the organization.
These researchers rarely show their faces. Yu Tang had only heard about them from Zhang Zhe. It was this group of twelve people who proposed conducting human experiments back then.
The "boss" they were referring to was a middle-aged man named Chen Zhi, who was both an investor and the executor.
There is actually a complex network of relationships above him.
Successfully developing Cheng Luo was only the first step in their plan.
Next, they will use Cheng Luo's genes to conduct follow-up experiments, continuing to carry out the same things they did to Cheng Luo on new experimental subjects.
As for the test subjects, they were the children, ranging from a few years old to teenagers, whom Yu Tang had seen before.
If no one comes to their rescue, the fate of these children is unimaginable.
