After returning to his room, the mysterious man quickly sent a message to Xu Lingchong, asking him to take Zhong Pingliang to a secret room. Of course, it wasn't the core of the North Island base, but another secret room to hide from the public.
"Let Zhong Pingliang go with us?" Xu Lingchong looked at the contents of the note and couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that the mysterious man was ready to deal with Lin Yi. Why did he suddenly send such a strange order? Was it written wrongly? It was more likely that he and Meng Tong were together!
Although he guessed so in his heart, Xu Lingchong didn't dare to change the order of the mysterious man even if he had the guts. Who knew if there was a deeper meaning in it?
"Pingliang, you come with me. The higher-ups want to see you." Xu Lingchong suppressed his confusion and announced in public. At this time, the others hadn't left yet. Meng Tong and Kang Ming Ming heard it and suddenly felt strange. Everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Zhong Pingliang.
Zhong Pingliang looked blank on the surface, but at the moment, he was horrified. In an instant, he was covered in a cold sweat. His first reaction when he heard this was, "Fuck, did the fact that I was a spy get exposed?"
In terms of status, he was only slightly higher than people like Ma Daqiang. Not to mention Xu Lingchong, even Meng Tong was far from him. At most, he was about the same as Kang Zhaoming or even worse. After all, Kang Zhaoming had Elder Xuanchen as his backer in Middle Island, and Zhong Pingliang had nothing.
Since joining the organization until now, not only Zhong Pingliang, but other people including Meng Tong and Kang Ming Ming had never been officially met by the mysterious man. This had always been a special honor for Xu Lingchong. If it wasn't exposed, how could this opportunity fall into his hands inexplicably?
Facing the envious eyes of everyone, Zhong Pingliang couldn't help but feel like his heart was beating wildly. It really felt like something big was going to happen! There couldn't be a second explanation other than the exposure. Asking him to follow Xu Lingchong to meet the mysterious man. Wasn't it obvious that he was walking into a trap?!
Pinliang's expression froze, and a chill ran down his spine. His legs grew heavy, and he couldn't move for a long time.
"Let's go. What are you waiting for? You look like you've never seen the world before! "Xu Lingchong looked at him strangely, thinking that he was just too happy to contain his joy.
"Uh, yes." Pinliang suppressed the fear in his heart when he saw everyone looking at him with a complicated expression. He couldn't show it on his face, he could only take it one step at a time.
Under the cover of the night. Xu Lingchong and Pinliang avoided the guards' line of sight as they made their way to a barren slope. There was a dense pine forest at the top of the slope, and the secret room the mysterious man had pointed at was right below it.
Pinliang was trembling as he followed behind Xu Lingchong. His heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out of his throat. There were a few times when he couldn't help but turn around and run away as he looked at the dark, windy night. But he stopped himself in the end. After all, Xu Lingchong was much stronger than him, and he couldn't run even if he wanted to. He would only die faster if he was exposed.
The two of them waited in the secret room. Pinliang held his breath as he carefully studied the layout of the secret room, planning his escape route in his mind. If it didn't work, he would have to fight to the death.
After a tense moment of waiting. A breeze swept past them, and the mysterious man's figure appeared in front of them, still covered in a black robe. No one could see his face and body clearly. Of course, Pinliang didn't dare look at him for too long under these circumstances. He could only lower his head, trying his best not to let the mysterious man see his frozen expression.
"Greetings, senior!" Xu Lingchong knelt down on one knee. Although he was valued by the mysterious man, he still didn't know who the mysterious man was, nor did he know his position. He only knew that the mysterious man had a very high position in the center, and so he could only greet him with a vague title like senior.
Pinliang didn't dare to be slow. He imitated Xu Lingchong and bowed, at the same time taking the opportunity to bury his head even deeper, afraid that the mysterious man would see through his face.
The mysterious man was silent for a moment. He could feel his gaze falling on Pinliang, looking him up and down with suspicion. Suddenly, he opened his mouth, "Zhong Pinliang, listen to my order!"
Pinliang jumped in fright, and his breathing stopped. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop his hands and feet from shaking. What the hell, what he was afraid of happened. Did he really get exposed?
Xu Lingchong, who was beside him, was also stunned. So the order he got wasn't a mistake. He really was looking for Pinliang. Since when did this kid enter the eyes of the higher-ups? That's really strange!
The mysterious man, on the other hand, looked at Pinliang, surprised. The guy couldn't hide his nervousness at all. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. The kid didn't look special at all, why would Junior Pao think so highly of him …
"The higher-ups have ordered that Pinliang will be promoted to the center's special envoy in the north island from today onwards. He will be on the same level as Xu Lingchong. His main task is to assist me and another master to manage the north island branch together," the mysterious man announced faintly.
"Ah?!" Pinliang was completely stunned. He was even prepared to die, but he didn't expect it to be something like this. The center's special envoy in the north island? Did he just get a promotion for no reason?
Pinliang rubbed his head, confused. He didn't do anything recently, and he didn't make any contributions to the center. Why did such a big pie suddenly fall on his head?
It wasn't just Zhong Pingliang, even Xu Lingchong was shocked speechless. He looked at the mysterious man in confusion. What was going on? How did Pinliang get promoted all of a sudden? He didn't make any contributions at all, and suddenly he was on the same level as him?
"This … Senior, there's a saying that two tigers can't share the same mountain. This Pinliang is my follower, and your words made him on the same level as me. It's not easy for me to manage and convince the others …" Xu Lingchong couldn't help but complain.
He didn't have anything against Zhong Pingliang at first, but his follower was suddenly on equal footing with him. Anyone would be pissed off, especially someone as prideful as Xu Lingchong. How could he tolerate something like this?
Besides, he was the only candidate for the north island's special envoy. Now that Pinliang suddenly appeared, there were two special envoys. Wasn't this clearly stealing power from his hands? Floating Astronomy.
