The second meeting between Zhang Heng and E-Goat was not a pleasant one. In the end, it ended with E-Goat splashing beer on an innocent woman behind Zhang Heng. His action almost caused a conflict in the bar.
But early the next morning, when Zhang Heng arrived at the central shuttle station, he saw E-Goat with a black face outside the gate.
"Morning. You haven't had breakfast yet, right?" Zhang Heng greeted him while handing another bag of pineapple buns to E-Goat.
"You knew I would come, didn't you?" E-Goat did not take the pineapple bun. "You are too despicable. You know I won't sit back and do nothing when I hear that Xu Qian is in danger."
"You think too much. I just brought two pineapple buns for breakfast. Since you are here, I will give one to you," Zhang Heng said. Zhang Heng continued, "Besides, if I remember correctly, I mentioned the word 'might' last night."
E-Goat looked conflicted, but in the end, he reached out and took the pineapple bun. "Let me say this first. I only care about matters related to Xu Qian. If I find out that you are using Xu Qian's name to ask me to do something for you, I will turn around and leave."
"No problem." Zhang Heng nodded. "Fill out the application first."
According to the regulations of New Shanghai 0297, when residents of the lower level wanted to take the central shuttle to the upper level, they needed to submit an application online first. They could only buy a ticket after it was approved. Fortunately, the process was not complicated. Generally, people without a criminal record could be approved. And if they traveled together, as long as one person submitted the application and added their ID to the back of the application, it would be done.
When E-Goat heard this, he suddenly became vigilant again. "Why don't you apply yourself?" he asked rhetorically.
"Because you have to be of some use."
"…"
Zhang Heng then explained, "No matter who is targeting Xu Qian, he is obviously well-prepared. When I first started the investigation last time, he noticed it and threw you out. So, we have to be careful in the upcoming investigation. I'm Xu Qian's bodyguard, and I'll be more conspicuous. It's better for you to be less conspicuous."
"But, according to what you said, if Stroll the Moon is really monitoring Xu Qian, he also knows me," E-Goat wondered.
"It doesn't matter. He probably won't take you seriously." Zhang Heng patted E-Goat on the shoulder.
"…"
"Oh, I don't mean that you are insignificant, but everyone knows that you are just a crazy fan who has a crush on Xu Qian. Once such an impression is formed, they will not be too wary of you. By the way, do you have any relatives or friends on the fourth level? "
"No."
"What about classmates?"
"No." E-Goat shook his head.
"Someone you know?"
"There is a company on the fourth level that is our client. They have purchased a complete set of equipment. I will go and perform network maintenance for them from time to time." E-Goat frowned.
"Very well, let's write this reason."
Although E-Goat was a little unwilling to be so obedient, it was related to Xu Qian's safety. In the end, he obediently filled out the application form according to Zhang Heng's instructions. In less than five minutes, he received a reply of approval.
The two of them bought their own tickets and boarded the shuttle to the fourth level.
Last night at the bar, Zhang Heng only told E-Goat that Xu Qian might be in danger, but he did not specify what kind of danger it was. Besides, E-Goat was in a bad mood that night, so he was not in the mood to ask in detail.
In fact, he struggled for the whole night, and it was not until dawn that he made up his mind to come to the station. E-Goat originally thought that Zhang Heng would tell him the details after they got on the shuttle, but the latter seemed to have forgotten about it. He did not say a word along the way.
It was not until the shuttle arrived at the fourth level that E-Goat could not help it anymore. He stopped Zhang Heng at the station and reminded him, "Did you forget something?"
"What did I forget?"
"We are now on the fourth level. You only asked me to prepare the things, but you haven't told us what you want me to do," E-Goat said.
"Oh, I want to go to this company to have a look." Zhang Heng handed a note to E-Goat.
"New Shanghai Zhuorui Sensor Co., Ltd.?" E-Goat took the note and glanced at it. "What does this place have to do with Xu Qian?"
"You should ask the owner of this company what his relationship with Xu Qian is." Zhang Heng took back the note.
"Wait … could it be …" E-Goat seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"You guessed it right. The owner of this company is Xu Qian's boyfriend, or more accurately, her fiancé. He has proposed to Xu Qian."
"Did Xu Qian agree?" E-Goat was anxious when he heard this.
"No, he is on a business trip recently, but it is said that he will be back soon. By then, Xu Qian will agree to his proposal," Zhang Heng said. "The good news is that we should still have a few days, so you can treat this operation as your last chance."
E-Goat did not show any joy when he heard the last sentence. Instead, he became even more hesitant. "I … I have already stalked Xu Qian once, and now I am going to her boyfriend's company. If she finds out, she will definitely blacklist me completely."
"Believe me, your current situation is no better than being blacklisted," Zhang Heng said. "And you don't have to worry about this problem. We can't just go there like this."
Although according to Zhang Heng, Xu Qian's boyfriend was staying on Earth during this period, Zhang Heng still used his Level 2 makeup skills to change their appearances just in case.
By the time they arrived downstairs of Zorui Sensor Co., Ltd., they had transformed into two purchasers of an electronic screen company. E-Goat then sent the freshly baked electronic business cards to the receptionist at the front desk.
The receptionist looked at the names on the business cards, "Mr. Wang Hao and Mr. He Tian? Do you have an appointment?"
"No, our company needs to purchase a batch of sensors and sent us here to inspect the manufacturer. However, your company was not on the initial inspection list. We accidentally found your company's information on the Internet. It just so happens that we are not far from your company, so we came here to take a look," Zhang Heng said.
"Oh, I see. Then please go to reception room 2 to take a rest. I will contact the manager right away." The receptionist brought Zhang Heng and E-Goat to the lounge, made two cups of tea, and bowed before leaving.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Zhang Heng pretended to look around and blocked the monitor in the upper right corner. He then asked E-Goat to take out his microcomputer from his bag.
What E-Goat did not expect was that the table in the reception room was completely transparent. After he took out the microcomputer, he did not know where to put it. In the end, Zhang Heng threw his backpack on the table, blocking the microcomputer under the table.
