Zuo Teng's Good News

Luo Tianming was once the chief steward of the Luofu Empire.

Luo Hui was a palace eunuch. His original surname was not Luo. He had served Luo Tianming, and only adopted Luo Tianming's surname after establishing his Lineage.

To prevent promiscuity, women in the imperial harem were required to be castrated, like mules, to prevent sexual misconduct.

This shared experience made it extremely easy for the eunuchs to band together, and their internal trust was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Professor Luo Hui, whose original name was Zhu Hui, was once a confidant of Luo Tianming. After the Qinmeng Empire collapsed, he followed Luo Tianming and was extremely loyal.

The similarity between Professor Luo Hui's gene sequence and his own further pleased Luo Tianming, and he continued to use Professor Luo Hui as a test subject for the gene sequence while training him.

As a result, Professor Luo Hui's strength continued to grow, and he came into contact with many forbidden things, even formally integrating into the Lineage that Luo Tianming created later.

Luo Zhong's matter is of paramount importance.

A head, a warm jade box, a bottle of hemostatic ointment—these also preserved a unique life.

"You should know that a person in a state of confusion couldn't possibly fabricate a logical lie so quickly. I can even recite Luo Zhong's vital signs data for the past ten years," Luo Tianming said. "Since what I said is true, then Luo Hui is the liar. It's not difficult for you to make that judgment!"

"Making up a story is no big deal," Professor Luo Hui said. "Zhang Xuezhou's father is a novelist; he's much better at making up stories than you are. Falsifying experimental data isn't difficult either. After all, who can verify your claims right now?"

"Luo Hui, you..."

"The only way to prove the truth is to produce Luo Zhong's head, and even make him talk!"

Professor Luo Hui gave Luo Tianming a cold look.

If he could produce Luo Zhong's head, he wouldn't have completely betrayed him.

He couldn't produce Luo Zhong's head, and Luo Tianming couldn't either.

The head had completely decomposed and shattered; the stench of the corpse kept the living away. Luo Zhong was no more.

"You hid Luo Zhong's head," Luo Tianming said.

"Your words are becoming increasingly illogical," Professor Luo Hui said. "You're asking me to prove what you're saying? I can't do that kind of proof!"

"Although I can't find Luo Zhong's head, the warm jade box he used back then is still at home, and the bottle of the Absolute Jade Ointment is also there," Luo Tianming said. "Moreover, I also have video footage of Luo Zhong from back then, which is something you can't deny, Luo Hui!"

"Anyone can lie, so show me the real evidence," Professor Luo Hui sneered.

"Zhang Xuezhou, you can contact Luo Gaogao. He can enter my residence. As long as he finds the safe in my room and enters the code 74516, Luo Gaogao can bring the information over," Luo Tianming said. "He doesn't even need to be present; even transmitting the information via telecommunications can serve as proof."

"You two, please talk this out. Don't start fighting right now. I'll contact Gao Gao immediately!"

Zhang Xuezhou, who was hiding behind the tea counter, responded and then actually sent a message to Luo Gaogao.

He didn't need to seek answers; he knew that what Luo Tianming said was true, and that Professor Luo Hui had ulterior motives.

Perhaps it was the consequences of Luo Zhong's head injury that Professor Luo Hui found unbearable, leading to today's outcome.

The consequences were so severe that even Zhang Xuezhou hadn't anticipated them.

Now, it's time for him to make a choice.

The key point isn't Luo Gaogao's reply, but how he crafted his words and convinced both of them that he was helping the other.

More importantly, once the shooting begins, everyone will be fully exposed, and a fight to the death is inevitable.

"We're waiting for Gao Gao's reply now. Song Sijia, you also need to tell the two of them about this Song 237 version I have!"

"The Song 237 rifle possesses extremely powerful penetrating firepower, with an effective range of up to 650 meters. The bullets used in this rifle are highly specialized; the tip of the cartridge case is made of an alloy..."

After being nudged by Zhang Xuezhou, Song Sijia began to enthusiastically introduce the Song 237 version of the firearm.

"I remember this gun had a rather ingenious design," Zhang Xuezhou said, "It could make the bullets curve!"

"Right!"

"It may seem like I'm aiming at Song Sijia, but I can shoot at others!"

"Don't take such risks with your shooting! If it accidentally discharges and hits another firing device, it could kill me!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood up, holding a Song 237 rifle to Song Sijia's head, which made Luo Tianming and Professor Luo Hui gasp in shock.

If the guns weren't aimed at them, how would they know who Zhang Xuezhou was shooting at?

"Bang!"

The gun aimed at Song Sijia's head roared, and Luo Tianming and Professor Luo Hui saw the bullet fly out from the side of the rear seat, almost at a 75-degree angle.

"Mommy!"

Song Sijia screamed, almost jumping out to pull open the door and run away.

She wiped the sweat that had instantly beaded on her forehead, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou's demonstration of firearms was a little too risky.

However, Song Sijia couldn't help but be amazed by Zhang Xuezhou's speed in mastering firearms. In a short period of time, Zhang Xuezhou had already mastered the Song 237 version gun, and his control was even more stable than hers.

"This shot is a bit like gambling with your life," Luo Tianming said.

"This gun can fire from the front or the side. If I aim at you, please don't think I'm about to shoot you," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Let's wait for Gao Gao's message to arrive and see who's lying. The bullets from this gun will also be fired at the other side!"

"This is feasible!"

Luo Tianming nodded, and Professor Luo Hui echoed his agreement.

"Tell Gao Gao about our current situation. He's a member of the Luo family and has the right to know what's going on," Professor Luo Hui added.

"No problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied, which reassured Professor Luo Hui.

What Luo Tianming said is true, but Professor Luo Hui is not the only member of the Luo family who opposes Luo Tianming.

If Professor Luo Hui had known about the opportunity, he was certain that Luo Gaogao would take a gamble, thus misleading Zhang Xuezhou into making a wrong judgment.

He briefly reminded Zhang Xuezhou to provide more information, which made Zhang Xuezhou retract his head and then resume typing away on his phone.

His communicator had its speaker on, and there were notification sounds when messages were sent and received.

This forced Luo Tianming and Professor Luo Hui to pay attention as their gazes swept across each other.

Luo Gaogao's inspection of the safe won't take too long; perhaps five minutes, perhaps ten minutes, but at the latest, it won't exceed twenty minutes.

This was a period of agonizing torment, not only for Professors Luo Tianming and Luo Hui, but also for Zhang Xuezhou and Song Sijia.

"Zhang Xuezhou, I've reached the Third Sequence. The R32 catalyst is truly effective, even exceeding the data cited in the paper!"

Instead of receiving news from Luo Gaogao, Zhang Xuezhou unexpectedly received a message from Zuo Teng bringing good news.

The beeping of communication messages immediately jolted the four people in the training field into a state of heightened alertness.
