Chapter 90 Chang Lei's Methods!
Staring blankly at the message on her phone, even the usually easygoing Tang Zijun was stunned for a full minute before she came to her senses.
After glancing at the sender's nickname and profile picture, and confirming several times that it was Chang Lei, Tang Zijun slowly raised her hand and rubbed her temples.
"How come I never noticed before that this old swindler was so abstract?"
Tang Zijun muttered something to herself, knowing that Chang Lei wanted to talk to her about something.
Having dealt with him for quite some time, Tang Zijun wouldn't say she knew him inside and out, but she was at least fairly familiar with his basic personality and habits.
Back when Chang Lei was still known as Hax, he loved to use this method to create trouble for himself.
Although he does seem to have changed a lot now, his habit of using secret codes at the drop of a hat is probably still a sign that he has a hard time changing his nature.
"Little Grey".
"What is it, sir?"
Xiao Hui stood obediently to the side the whole time. He had also heard Tang Zijun's mutterings, but being timid, he didn't react unusually and pretended not to hear them.
Now, upon hearing Tang Zijun call him, Xiao Hui's selective deafness was instantly cured.
"I have something to take care of temporarily. Please keep an eye on things here. If Chang'an does anything unusual, call my name in front of the mirror."
"what?"
Xiao Hui opened his mouth, but his focus wasn't on Tang Zijun's unexpected situation; rather, it was on the second half of Tang Zijun's words.
"Sir, may I call you by your full name? Is that a bit much?"
Seeing Xiao Hui's forced docile appearance, Tang Zijun couldn't help but chuckle.
It's true that like owner, like pet. Although Qin Nan and Xiao Hui are partners, this saying is very fitting for them.
It's only because Little Grey is a parrot that his acting skills are so good; otherwise, he would have to be an award-winning actor.
It is said that dogs are loyal ministers and cats are treacherous ministers, but Xiao Hui gives Tang Zijun the feeling of being more like a eunuch, and a very clever one at that.
"It's okay, I agree."
Tang Zijun waved her hand and said with a smile.
If she weren't in a hurry to see what had happened to Chang Lei, Tang Zijun would have liked to chat with Xiao Hui more.
Stepping onto the television screen, Tang Zijun's figure vanished in the blink of an eye from the mirror's reflection.
After returning to the reversed world, Tang Zijun opened her phone again and glanced at the 'code' that Chang Lei had sent her.
This line of text is most likely some kind of decrypted information. It has been seven years since Tang Zijun has encountered this type of thing, and she feels that her dead memories are attacking her again.
But the past is the past, and the present is the present.
Having taken control of the reversed world, he no longer needed to play guessing games with Chang Lei.
After determining Chang Lei's coordinates, Tang Zijun quickly found the passage leading to that place, and the other party thoughtfully found a place full of mirrors to wait for Tang Zijun's arrival.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's all mirrors, because when Tang Zijun stepped out of the mirror, she found herself in a mirror maze at an amusement park.
Countless mirrors and tempered glass were arranged together. As soon as Tang Zijun appeared, she found that she was surrounded by her own reflection. Not far in front of her, Chang Lei had his back to her.
"You really know how to pick a place."
Tang Zijun rolled her eyes and then turned to look to her left.
Meanwhile, Chang Lei was watching him with a smile.
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it."
"Why can't you just say what's on your mind instead of this?" Tang Zijun strolled up to Chang Lei, raising an eyebrow. "What, you want me to play jump rope with you in the middle of the night?"
"It's not about jumping rope. The code I sent you alludes to the explosion of our country's first atomic bomb. It means I have something very important to tell you," Chang Lei said with utmost seriousness.
What a wonderful country "our" is.
This old swindler really thinks he's human.
"What exactly happened?" Tang Zijun asked.
"I'm being followed by those bastards from the heretical sects."
Chang Lei didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.
Upon hearing his words, Tang Zijun lost her sense of humor and her expression instantly turned serious.
Are you alright?
"It's alright." Seeing that Tang Zijun's first reaction was to care about his safety, Chang Lei smiled and then continued, "Although I've lost most of my power, I'm not so vulnerable as to be threatened by those trash."
"Don't try to be a hero; you're no longer a high-ranking official."
Tang Zijun frowned, and then he asked again.
"How did they target you? If I remember correctly, you don't have the slightest trace of a greedy person on you right now. As long as you don't make a move, no one can detect any difference between you and others."
"At first I was quite puzzled too, but after thinking about it, I understood. After seven years of silence, you came to me, and the scum of the underworld immediately set their sights on me. I'm afraid..."
"You're doubting it."
The latest novel is first published here!
Tang Zijun's eyes narrowed, and she immediately understood what Chang Lei wanted to express.
Chang Lei nodded and continued, "...It's probably closely related to that beast egg. I can't think of any other possibility besides that."
"The alien beast eggs are biological weapons created by the Outer Path Demons. Each alien beast egg contains a large number of dark crystal fragments. The energy emitted by these dark crystals is the substance that the Outer Path Demons are most sensitive to."
"I am confident that I have not done anything to reveal my identity, but it is impossible to study the eggs of alien beasts without being tainted by the aura of dark crystals."
"That's probably why that damn guy targeted me."
Hearing Chang Lei's words, Tang Zijun's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
He never expected that his actions would bring such great danger to Chang Lei. Fortunately, the other party was a greedy person with the ability to protect himself. What if it were someone else, or ordinary people?
"Let's leave it at that. Take your family and find another place as soon as possible."
"what?"
Chang Lei paused for a moment, then looked at Tang Zijun with some surprise.
After a long pause, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What do you mean? You just tied me to the boat and you're already planning to fire me? I quit my job to earn this money from you, and now you're pulling this stunt on me."
"I'm not joking with you, this is too dangerous," Tang Zijun said in a deep voice. "Right now they're just tracking you, what if they attack you?"
"Who said they didn't make a move?" Chang Lei retorted.
Without any hesitation, he told Tang Zijun everything about how he had been surrounded by heretical demons on his way home.
After listening to Chang Lei's explanation, Tang Zijun frowned.
"It was my mistake. I didn't expect these heretics to act so quickly."
"That's normal, you just haven't dealt with them before," Chang Lei shrugged and continued. "These mad dogs don't care about morality; they all believe in striking first."
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, Tang Zijun thought of something and couldn't help but look up at Chang Lei.
"Don't tell me those heretical demons are still trapped in that alley."
Chang Lei, on the other hand, revealed a mysterious smile.
"What alley?"
