This unlucky guy's consciousness was a little blurry now. Even when Zhang Heng walked up to him, he did not react. It was as if he did not recognize Zhang Heng at all.
"Are you trying to find out the mastermind behind the attack last night by interrogating him?" Zhang Heng asked.
"No." Mr. G's voice came from the second floor. "I know who the mastermind behind him is. I just want to send a warning through him."
"Warning?"
"Yes, don't get me wrong. I am not a sadist or a so-called tyrant. I just don't want what happened last night to happen again. Attacking my guests on my turf means that they have to be prepared to pay the price. I need to make sure that everyone remembers this. "
Mr. G gestured to the two bodyguards beside him, asking them to drag the two dying men outside to deal with them. After that, he walked down the second floor, came to Zhang Heng, and raised his head.
"When we first met last night, I had a hunch that we would see each other again. But I didn't expect this day to come so soon."
"I'm here to ask you for help." Zhang Heng bowed slightly.
"I heard from my fiancée," Mr. G laughed, "She speaks highly of you."
"Miss F, you flatter me."
"I don't think so. Let's not talk about anything else. Last night, you single-handedly blocked the siege of dozens of people before our people arrived. You protected the middleman and ensured that our transaction could continue. This kind of thing is not something that anyone can do. No, I should say that as far as I know, there is no second person in the entire New Shanghai 0297 who can do it. After that, I have been thinking about how to thank you. "
Zhang Heng knew that Mr. G had not finished speaking, so he did not rush to speak. Instead, he waited quietly for the other party to continue.
Sure enough, Mr. G continued, "But Miss F should have told you that it is not easy to remove the tracking device from your head. And given New Shanghai 0297's strict control over human cloning, this matter is very risky. If it were any other time, I wouldn't mind performing surgery on you immediately. However, I am also in the middle of a very important transaction. At this juncture, I must ensure the success of the transaction."
"May I ask how long your transaction will take?"
"The original plan was two weeks later. The main problem we are facing now is that we can't find a suitable courier. As you can see, I am the de facto ruler of this level. I have a lot of subordinates. I have people who can fight, and I also have people who are cool-headed or have strong adaptability. But when these points are added together … my range of choices is very small."
Mr. G said, "The middleman has been targeted before the transaction has even begun. This is not a good sign. When the transaction is officially completed, there will definitely be people who will mess things up. In order to keep it a secret, this transaction must be low-key. Hence, I can't send too many people. The best way is to find someone who is good enough in all aspects. Originally, F was the most suitable candidate, but she has other tasks. Hence, the courier problem has been giving me a headache until I saw your battle video last night."
Mr. G paused, then continued, "I won't beat around the bush. I don't know how much time you have left, but if you are willing to be the courier for this transaction, then I can arrange for the transaction to be completed within five days. As long as you bring the goods back to me, I will immediately help you solve your problem."
…
Just like when he came, Miss F drove Zhang Heng to the station.
On the way, the two did not speak again. Zhang Heng turned his head to the direction of the car window, looking at the streets, buildings, and passers-by that kept passing by. The scenery on the first floor was a little monotonous. The green belt was planted with Chinese parasol trees, and the outer walls of the buildings were dark. However, the number of billboards on the first floor was no less than the third floor. In fact, there were even more billboards than the third floor. All kinds of advertisements scrolled on the billboards 24 hours a day, reminding Zhang Heng of the endless small pop-up windows of a certain rogue antivirus software.
Sure enough, no matter which era it was, the only way to reduce the number of advertisements was to spend more money.
Miss F parked the car next to a convenience store, and the waiting area of the central shuttle was opposite.
Zhang Heng unfastened his seat belt and thanked Miss F again, "Thank you so much for today."
The latter shook her head when she heard this. "I just brought you to see Mr. G. You are the one who negotiated the conditions with him. There is no need to thank me again." After that, she deliberately reminded, "You should pay more attention to yourself during this period. It's best not to cause any new trouble. When we are ready, we will contact you again soon."
"Understood."
Although Zhang Heng agreed verbally, he drove to E-Goat's neighborhood an hour later.
Zhang Heng sent an email to E-Goat, but the latter did not reply. So, Zhang Heng used his bracelet to call up the electronic navigation and marked several bars near the neighborhood.
A quarter of an hour later, he found E-Goat drinking alone in the corner of one of the bars. Zhang Heng sat on the sofa opposite E-Goat. The latter raised his head and glanced at him before looking away again.
The way he looked at Zhang Heng was like a stone on the roadside, and he had no interest in talking to him at all.
"Aren't you curious why I came to see you again?"
"It doesn't matter." Perhaps it was because he drank too much, but E-Goat's voice sounded a little muffled. "If you are here for the stalking matter, I advise you not to waste your energy. I don't want to talk to you anymore. You can call the police and let them arrest me."
"Relax. Didn't we agree on that day? We won't call the police," Zhang Heng said.
"Then please get out of my sight!" E-Goat picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised his head, and gulped it down. His tone was unfriendly.
"The woman you like is going to marry another man. I know you are very upset right now." Zhang Heng was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he remained patient.
"Then why are you here to cause trouble for yourself?" E-Goat squinted at Zhang Heng with hostile eyes.
"In fact, you know very well that the chances of the two of you being together are very slim. You know that this day will come sooner or later, but even so, you are still willing to give unconditionally and silently. So tell me, which one of us is more like the one who is looking for trouble?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.
"Are you sick? Did you come all the way here just to taunt me?!" E-Goat was amused by Zhang Heng's words.
"Of course not. I just want to confirm how far you are willing to go for this doomed relationship," Zhang Heng said. "Anyway, you have been silently giving for so many years. Why don't you give a little more?"
