After realizing that she had no choice at all, Xu Qian was no longer as terrified as she was at first.
Humans were like this. When there was only one way to go, they would stop being overcautious. However, Xu Qian did not sleep well that night, especially the next morning. Her eyes looked a little red and swollen. Apparently, she had been crying alone in the room for a long time.
But after the makeup was done, her face didn't look any different.
As usual, Xu Qian ordered two takeout breakfasts, which were delivered by the drone. However, she only took two bites before putting down her chopsticks. After that, she looked at Zhang Heng, seemingly asking him what he was going to do next.
"Yesterday, I contacted E-Goat through my fans in the group and arranged to meet him at two o 'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, I will investigate his background first. After that, we will rush over together." Zhang Heng finished his breakfast as he spoke, wiped his mouth, and said, "If we want to hide it from the company, we have to act as usual. I said that I will continue to help you investigate the stalker. Only in this way, when you report my abnormality nine days later, no one will suspect me."
Xu Qian did not believe that Zhang Heng could escape, but she had to admire his calmness, especially after he realized that he was a clone. There was almost no emotional fluctuation. When ordinary people encountered such an incident, their entire outlook on life and the world would collapse. At the same time, because of the memory encoder, they would also doubt all their memories and even deny their own existence.
However, this problem obviously did not exist for a player like Zhang Heng. Being a clone was just his identity in the quest. He had no impression of his family and friends in his address book at all. What's more, with the legendary and wonderful experience he had, it was not something that could be written by someone.
This time, Zhang Heng did not need to take public transportation. Instead, he drove the new sports car that Xu Qian's boyfriend gave him. It was not until one o 'clock in the afternoon that he returned to the community to pick up Xu Qian.
After that, the two went to the community where E-Goat lived.
Like Xu Qian, as a network engineer, E-Goat also lived on the third level. However, his community was not as luxurious as the one where Xu Qian lived. It was a little further from the city center.
According to Zhang Heng's request, the fans in the group had already contacted E-Goat in advance, and the meeting place was a small restaurant downstairs. This was also the place where E-Goat often ate after work. The familiar environment would help him lower his guard.
E-Goat went downstairs ten minutes earlier and walked into the small restaurant.
According to the information Zhang Heng had, E-Goat was 29 years old this year. His original name was Li Chong, and he had been living on the third floor for five years. At first, he had a male roommate, who was said to be his classmate. However, as the latter fell in love, he moved out to live with his girlfriend. Since then, E-Goat had been living alone.
During this period of time, he did not make any friends of the opposite sex. Although his appearance and income were actually quite good, and some girls in the company had expressed their affection for him, E-Goat's response was very cold. Over time, the girls in the company also knew that E-Goat was a strange person. No one asked for a snub, and E-Goat continued to live a peaceful life alone.
There were even rumors in private that E-Goat was an emotionless person.
However, Zhang Heng knew that sometimes it was precisely this kind of person who rarely showed their emotions in daily life. Once they really fell in love with something or someone, they might develop a kind of morbid fanaticism.
E-Goat had been quietly paying attention to Xu Qian since the first day she started broadcasting. He had personally witnessed Xu Qian's rise from an unknown streamer to her current fame. In all of Xu Qian's live broadcasts, E-Goat had never missed a single one. It was obviously impossible to say that E-Goat had no special feelings for Xu Qian.
The more Zhang Heng investigated, the more suspicious he found E-Goat to be.
He and Xu Qian were now sitting in the car, monitoring E-Goat in the restaurant through the miniature camera hidden in the flower pot. The latter had just found a corner to sit down. The waiter obviously knew him, and he greeted him warmly. However, E-Goat's response was very cold. He just glanced at the waiter, then turned his attention to something else.
While Zhang Heng was looking at him, E-Goat was also looking at the other customers in the small restaurant. He seemed to be eliminating any potential dangers. E-Goat's gaze then turned to the window, and finally stopped at Xu Qian's sports car.
Although Xu Qian knew that the sports car's glass was specially treated, and the people outside could not see the people inside, she still couldn't help but feel nervous. "He won't know, will he?"
"Know what?"
"He knows that we are ambushing him here."
"Do you think he will still come downstairs if he knows about this?"
Having said that, Zhang Heng did not wait any longer. His preliminary investigation had proved that E-Goat had a motive to stalk Xu Qian. From his subsequent observation, E-Goat's figure also matched the stalker in the mall a few days ago. So, Zhang Heng seemed to have no reason not to attack. He sent another message to the fan who helped him, asking the latter to tell E-Goat to order first.
The fan who helped him did not suspect anything and immediately sent an email to E-Goat.
The reason why he was so cooperative all the way was that Zhang Heng told him that Xu Qian was very grateful to E-Goat, her number one fan, for accompanying her for so many years. She wanted to express her gratitude to him in person and give him a surprise. That was why she asked for his help.
And the fan was still jealous of E-Goat's good luck.
When E-Goat received the email and started to order from the menu, Zhang Heng and Xu Qian had already gotten out of the car and walked to the small restaurant.
Compared to Zhang Heng's calmness, Xu Qian's emotions were much more complicated. She even thought about who she should help if E-Goat defeated Zhang Heng in the fight between the two, or if the two were evenly matched.
But it turned out that she was thinking too much.
After all, E-Goat was just a network engineer, not a professionally trained combatant. Although he had a certain level of vigilance, he was obviously no match for Zhang Heng. Before he could even raise his head, Zhang Heng had already sat next to him and placed a knife on his waist.
When E-Goat realized what had happened, he raised his head again and saw Xu Qian opposite him. His expression finally changed drastically. The next moment, he reflexively wanted to stand up and run away, but when the man next to him put a hand on his shoulder, he found that he couldn't leave the chair at all. Then, he heard the man say, "What are you doing here?"
"Hi, E-Goat. I think we need to get to know each other again."
