The Bureau Chief looked at Tang Zheng sternly and asked, "As a cultivator, you have a special identity. Do you have any suggestions?"
Tang Zheng's heart moved, and he asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"How does the country view cultivators?"
Hiss!
Xu Yingtian sucked in a breath of cold air. This question was too direct.
The Bureau Chief was calm and said, "Cultivators and martial artists are the same. They are also part of society. A few hundred years ago, cultivators were expelled. That was because people were limited by their knowledge and experience. Now that technology is advanced, many things are different. Cultivators can also exist in this world like martial artists."
Tang Zheng was happy. It seemed that the government's attitude towards cultivators was much more open-minded. They didn't just suppress them.
"However, cultivators are too special. Or rather, they are too powerful. If too many of them exist in this world, there will be many problems." The Bureau Chief added.
Tang Zheng's head thumped. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. His excitement was extinguished.
He smiled bitterly. He was too naive. He really thought that the government would accept all cultivators. At least with the current situation, it was impossible.
≥，
Cultivators were too powerful. Especially Tang Zheng's action this time, the government had directly witnessed the power of cultivators.
Cultivators were like nuclear bombs. They were very powerful. If they were within a controlled range, they would be beneficial to the country. If they were completely out of control, they would definitely be a very unstable factor.
That was to say, if a small number of cultivators existed, the country wouldn't interfere too much. If they allowed a large number of cultivators to return, the government wouldn't sit by and do nothing.
Of course, there was another layer of meaning in the Bureau Chief's words. Tang Zheng also figured it out.
The Bureau Chief emphasized on technology. That was to say, it wasn't a few hundred years ago. The government had no way to deal with cultivators.
The power of technology couldn't be underestimated. Not to mention nuclear bombs, the mecha developed by the Dragon Group couldn't be underestimated. There were also super soldiers. No one could be sure that super soldiers wouldn't be weaker than cultivators in the future. Also, super soldiers could be mass-produced. That would be a very terrifying force.
The Bureau Chief's words were a combination of kindness and authority, which gave Tang Zheng a lot of insights.
However, he was not as enthusiastic as Tian Chanzi about the return of the large group of cultivators. He had already determined that if the large group of cultivators returned, it would not be of much benefit to the ordinary people.
What he considered was not the stability of the regime, but the benefits to the general public.
Both sides had different starting points, but they could be considered to have reached the same conclusion. Thus, Tang Zheng solemnly nodded and said, "Cultivators will not harm the country, but I hope that the country will not judge people with colored glasses, or sooner or later there will be problems."
As soon as he said this, Xu Yingtian's back was drenched in sweat.
These words were too bold. It was equivalent to threatening the other party, telling the government not to go too far. Otherwise, the cultivators would also resist.
No one had ever dared to say such things in front of the chief. Xu Yingtian was secretly anxious for Tang Zheng. Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers.
The Bureau Chief looked at Tang Zheng with burning eyes. Their eyes met, and after a long time, the Bureau Chief took the initiative to reach out his hand and simply said, "Okay!"
The two hands tightly held together, and it could be considered that they had reached a preliminary consensus.
Xu Yingtian brought Tang Zheng out of the study and said in a low voice, "You are so bold. You scared me to death just now. I almost had a heart attack."
Tang Zheng smiled indifferently. "Is it so exaggerated?"
"Of course. You don't know, but if there is really a disagreement, there are countless experts in the dark who are not to be trifled with." Xu Yingtian said with a bitter smile.
"I am not to be trifled with either." Tang Zheng said quietly.
If the other party really wanted to kill him, he would not sit still and wait for death. In the end, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious.
If Xu Yingtian knew his true thoughts, he would probably be so scared that he would hide far away.
Seeing Tang Zheng's disapproving expression, Xu Yingtian only hoped to bring them away from this place as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a person walked in front of them. The two of them were startled, and their expressions became somewhat unsightly.
Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. They actually met Xing Feng here.
Xing Feng strode towards the two of them and stopped in front of them. He coldly looked at Tang Zheng and said: "This time, consider yourself lucky. You managed to get away with it."
Tang Zheng looked at the other party in ridicule and said, "Xing Feng, to be honest, when I first saw you, I really did not expect that you would have today. Otherwise, when we were in Diannan, you would have died long ago."
Xing Feng's pupils shrank and said, "I still have to thank you. If not for you, I would not have today's achievements."
This was the truth. Back then, Xing Feng was just a general in the army in Diannan. He still had to look up to Long Xuanyuan. But now, he was the leader of the Dragon Group, and the power of the Long family was no longer a threat to him.
"Then we will meet again. Let's see who will have the last laugh." Tang Zheng did not waste time with the other party and directly said it out loud.
"Then let's wait and see." Xing Feng coldly snorted, walked past the two of them, and strode away.
Turning his head to look at his back, Tang Zheng frowned and said, "The chief summoned him?"
Xu Yingtian sighed and said, "The situation of the Dragon Group and the National Security Bureau as equals has already formed. Especially this time, the Dragon Group was one step ahead of the National Security Bureau in reporting the Island nation's information, causing the National Security Bureau to be very passive. The Dragon Group is in the limelight."
"I've implicated you." Tang Zheng patted Xu Yingtian's shoulder.
"What's there to be polite about? My point of view is the same as yours. The Dragon Group won't be able to jump around for long, especially since Xing Feng is too high-profile. Furthermore, he has the final say in the Dragon Group.
The two of them returned to the hut, picked up Wu and Xiao Bai, and left this heavily guarded place together. When they were about to part ways, Xu Yingtian pulled Tang Zheng and asked in a low voice, "I still have a question in my heart. Where did you place Wu Junshan and the others?"
Wu Junshan and the others were a force that could not be underestimated, but it was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Tang Zheng smiled mysteriously and did not answer. He held Wu's hand and quickly disappeared in front of Xu Yingtian's eyes.
Xu Yingtian shook his head. There was nothing he could do.
In the same study room, the head sat on a chair behind the desk. Xing Feng carefully sat on the sofa and looked at the head in awe. "The Li Palace has already sent back news. The Li Palace Master has already explained the matter of the Island nation. This is only a personal grudge between the Li Palace and Wu Junshan and the others. It does not involve the country, so they used the power of the Island nation. Before this, they did not know about the matter of the Yamata no Orochi."
It turned out that before Tang Zheng could say the truth, the Li Palace had already contacted the Dragon Group and explained the matter of the Island nation. They wanted to remove the Li Palace from this matter and reduce the country's hostility towards the Li Palace.
Hearing this, the head's face turned cold. "Personal grudge, hmph!"
Xing Feng's heart thumped. The head was really angry. The actions of the Li Palace were contrary to the country's wishes. It was truly infuriating.
"Head, I believe that the Li Palace Master is not someone who does not know how to adapt to the situation. He would not do such a disgraceful thing as colluding with the enemy." Although he knew that the other party was angry, Xing Feng still had to bite the bullet and explain for the Li Palace.
The head coldly looked at Xing Feng. Xing Feng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The Dragon Group has conducted a detailed investigation of the Li Palace. What they said should be true. Furthermore, the Dragon Group has already begun to infiltrate the Li Palace. In time, this mysterious force will also be used by the country."
The Dragon Group infiltrated the Li Palace!
Xing Feng really dared to do something that had never happened before.
The Bureau Chief glanced at Xing Feng with gratification. Xing Feng had many shortcomings, but there was one thing that Xu Yingtian couldn't compare to. Xu Yingtian's thinking was much more rigid, while Xing Feng was very daring and would often do many unexpected things. The infiltration this time was one of them, and it had enlightened the higher-ups.
The few large organizations were impenetrable, and they were not controlled by the government. This made the government very passive. If this continued, it was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen in the future.
Xing Feng's suggestion was exactly what the higher-ups wanted. That was why they valued him more and more. They even turned a blind eye to the fact that he had the final say in the Dragon Group.
The head's expression finally looked better. He nodded approvingly and said, "Follow up on this matter closely."
"Yes!"
Xing Feng hesitated for a while, then said hesitantly, "Tang Zheng's matter …"
"Put aside your feud with Tang Zheng for now. Tang Zheng is a force that can be won over." The head had made his judgment. Even if Xing Feng had thousands of words to say, there was nothing he could do.
"Understood!" Xing Feng accepted the order dejectedly.
"How's the progress on the Tree of Life?" the head asked.
Xing Feng said dejectedly, "There's no progress. This is all Tang Zheng's fault. I don't know what method he used, but we can't even get close to the Tree of Life. He has ulterior motives …"
Xing Feng seemed to have found another entry point to attack Tang Zheng. But before he could finish, he was interrupted by the head.
"This matter needs to be considered at length. The research on the Tree of Life cannot be stopped, but we can't become enemies with Tang Zheng because of this."
Xing Feng's words were blocked again. It was as if someone was strangling his throat. There was nothing he could do.
Tang Zheng didn't know how many times he had been on the verge of danger. He was almost killed by Xing Feng's scheming.
He returned home with Martial. But when he opened the door, he wondered if he had walked into the wrong house. Was this still his home?
He didn't dare to admit it!
His home in the past wasn't bad, but it was completely different from what he saw now. His home now was like a palace. Although it was a two-bedroom room, the smell was completely different.
It was completely renovated and decorated. There were all kinds of decorations. Even Tang Zheng, a layman, could tell that it wasn't ordinary.
Of course, he didn't know that these materials, furniture, and decorations were all flown over from Sweden. The renovation cost was more than the price of buying this house.
Martial also looked at everything in front of her in disbelief and said, "Did we go the wrong way?"
