"What do you think?" Zhang Heng asked Qiu Ming.
"It depends on what you're asking about." Qiu Ming continued his good performance. He was telling Zhang Heng everything he knew.
"In terms of victory or defeat, no matter how long Mr. G has prepared, how strong his mobilization and brainwashing abilities are, and how powerful the armed forces are, his opponent is Shengtang Morgan Group. The latter has almost unlimited resources. Even if the police are defeated, they still have the emergency response team and other armed forces to deploy. Even if Mr. G's small universe explodes and kills these armed forces, Shengtang Morgan Group can still recruit candidates and directly write their memories to make them soldiers. Not to mention, they have the support of the headquarters."
Qiu Ming paused. "Of course, if it really comes to that, the management of New Shanghai 0297 can forget about continuing their jobs. Today is their tomorrow. In order to keep their positions, they will definitely try their best to minimize the impact. I don't know what Mr. G is planning, but I guess the most direct purpose of his riot is to put pressure on the management. And the management obviously knows this, so it's not easy for him to achieve his goal … "
Just as Qiu Ming was analyzing the current situation, Zhang Heng received an unknown communication request.
Zhang Heng gestured to Qiu Ming to wait for a moment and clicked to accept the call. Then, he heard Mr. G's voice from the other end. "How's your business going?"
"It's almost done," Zhang Heng replied.
"Where's the thing? Is it with you now?"
"Yes."
"You saw the news, right? We've already started a war with Shengtang Morgan Group, so according to our agreement, you need to bring that thing back to the first level," Mr. G said.
"What do you want to do with it? Mass produce soldiers for you?"
"It's not part of our agreement to answer your questions," Mr. G said. However, compared to the previous few meetings, his tone was much better this time. He then added, "You've also learned about our business before. You should know that we're different from Shengtang Morgan Group. We won't change the memories of the clones at will, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything to your compatriots. Besides, F is here. She will also supervise what I do. Even if you don't trust me, you should trust her."
If someone had not followed Qiu Ming into Shengtang Morgan Group's secret base and understood Mr. G's past, it would have been easy to believe his words. However, Zhang Heng already knew Mr. G's true identity. He also knew that the latter did not tell the real truth about New Shanghai 0297 to the people around him. In a sense, he even continued to help Shengtang Morgan Group maintain their lie about clones and ordinary people to deceive everyone, including Miss F.
This was also why Zhang Heng had always been wary of Mr. G. But he didn't say anything else. Instead, he asked, "When do you need that thing?"
"The sooner the better. The situation is changing every day, and we have to prepare early," Mr. G said. "But Shengtang Morgan Group has sealed off the entire first level. Will you have any trouble coming back?"
"I can solve this small matter."
"That couldn't be better," Mr. G said. "I made the mistake of underestimating you before. I can assure you that this kind of thing will not happen in the future. I look forward to you returning to the first level as soon as possible. We'll talk about the details when we meet."
"Okay, see you then."
Zhang Heng hung up the call. He did not deliberately avoid Qiu Ming this time, so the latter heard the conversation and asked, "Are you going back to the first level?"
"Not me, but us," Zhang Heng said. "E-Goat and Xu Qian can stay here, but you have to come with me."
"I'm fine with it, but are you sure you want to take me with you?" Qiu Ming said. "Although I don't know what trick Mr. G is playing this time, I'm one of the few people who know his background the best. He also knows that I know his background, so if you take me with you, it's very likely that you'll be in danger."
Zhang Heng didn't answer Qiu Ming's question immediately. Instead, he asked, "Have you seen each other a lot over the years?"
"Well, to be honest, very little. Ever since he was sent to the first level by the company, our contact has been through encrypted emails. After reading them, he deleted them without leaving any traces. After all, he doesn't want anyone to know that he's in contact with Shengtang Morgan, and I don't want the management to know that I'm still in contact with him."
"Then there's no problem. As long as he doesn't recognize you, your worries will not exist. Before we leave, I will put on makeup for you. In addition, you need to change some of your habitual little movements as much as possible and lower your voice a little. That way, he will basically not recognize you."
"I'll listen to you." Qiu Ming shrugged. "But how do you plan to bring me back to the first level?"
"Although the central shuttle station no longer sells tickets to the public, Shengtang Morgan has been sending people to the first level. I don't think they mind lending us two spots."
…
Zhang Heng told E-Goat what to pay attention to after he left and told him and Xu Qian to keep a low profile.
Normally, Xu Qian's escape would be a big deal for Shengtang Morgan. However, at this moment, the management's attention was attracted by the riot on the first level. For the time being, they didn't have much energy to care about Xu Qian. They could only monitor the internet to prevent Xu Qian from spreading what she saw on a large scale.
In contrast, the threat posed by Mr. G was greater and had a wider range of influence. Just as Qiu Ming had said, the management itself was under a lot of pressure. If this matter couldn't be resolved in a short period of time, they would also face the awkward situation of not being able to explain themselves to the board of directors. Therefore, E-Goat and Xu Qian were relatively safe.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng and Qiu Ming, who had put on makeup, went to the police station on the second level.
Shengtang Morgan had already transferred a lot of police officers from each level to the first level. The remaining police officers even found it a little difficult to maintain daily order. Fortunately, it wasn't long now, and the other levels weren't as chaotic as the first level, so there wasn't any major trouble for the time being.
On the other hand, Shengtang Morgan had no intention of stopping. Soon, the third transfer list was sent to the police station on the next level.
Zhang Heng hacked into the second level police system, found the list, and locked onto the two targets on it.
