Zuo Teng's Excellence Was Plain for All to See
Many things are interconnected and have far-reaching consequences.
Zhu Haishan, who usually has a good temper, was finding it difficult to control his temper at the moment while in the villa.
Even if the Zhu family was not the best, they were still a prominent family in Western Capital. They had never been so humble and waited for so long.
If Chang Kong hadn't been standing to the side, Zhu Haishan would have already entered the study and grabbed the boy who was writing incessantly, pulling him up by the ear.
If he is like this, then it goes without saying what others are like.
Chang Kongluo's invitation made Zhu Haishan eager to accept, but he narrowed his eyes and politely declined with a smile.
Zhu Haishan could barely hold it in, and Chang Kongluo also looked solemn and tried his best to hold it in, but some people really couldn't hold it in anymore.
"I heard that person is inside. Could it be that he's gone mad in his old age?"
"It's been a whole day! A whole day!"
"If I said that Zhang Xuezhou had taken the Chairman of the Chang Kong Committee hostage, probably no one would believe me, right?"
"Nobody will believe that!"
"So the matter is quite simple: it must be that Chairman Changkong has kidnapped Zhang Xuezhou!"
"But I don't understand why that person from the Changkong family would come here during their exercise break and then try to kidnap Zhang Xuezhou!"
Never try to guess the motives behind their actions in their twilight years; for them, there is no need for motive at all!
"That student Zhang is incredibly unlucky; this seems to be the third time something like this has happened to him!"
"Don't talk nonsense. What if they're having a friendly exchange and discussion?"
"I can't see any need for Chairman Changkong to communicate with Zhang Xuezhou, let alone understand what he could possibly have to talk about with Wen Yishan!"
"My grandfather is a quiet and reserved person who isn't good at communicating; he would never be able to have a conversation with Chairman Changkong!"
Filming for the TV series "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is actually nearing completion.
After breaking this film and television series down into multiple parts, nearly 80% of the script scenes have already been filmed, leaving only some character actors to supplement the plot.
After finishing their tasks, it was time for everyone to rush into the ruins of Qin Meng and wreak havoc.
Zuo Teng and the others were stuck on this remaining 20% of the plot addition.
At this moment, not only was Wen Yishan in a hurry, but Zuo Teng and the others were also very anxious, wanting only to complete the filming at high speed and efficiency.
They even spontaneously participated in action choreography, script and dialogue revision, and some even studied film and television production. Others contributed money and effort, and some even participated in recommending roles for character actors.
At such a critical juncture, let alone Wen Yishan disappearing for a whole day, even half a day, or even just three to five hours, would be an unbearable thing.
What Wen Yishan was doing wasn't a secret, nor was Zhang Xuezhou's previous negotiation, but the fact that neither of them had shown up was a problem.
When Zuo Teng finally found Zhang Manqian and the others returning to the villa area, he discovered that Zhang Manqian couldn't even get into her own home.
The task force surrounded the Zhang Household tightly, making it impossible to enter without special authorization.
This special proof must at least be linked to the sequence committee.
Zuo Teng and the others had no choice but to wait patiently.
But they waited a long time, and things started to look bad on everyone.
"This is definitely a hostage situation," Zhu Kuang guessed. "My grandfather couldn't possibly have beaten Chairman Chang Kong, so they've all been taken hostage!"
"But the task force didn't..."
"What's so special about the task force? We can easily beat them in another year or two of training. If it weren't for that title, they wouldn't even be qualified..."
Zhang Manqian and Zuo Teng lowered their voices, then scattered and paced back and forth nearby.
Clearly, even the most talented young generation must strictly abide by the rules of Western Capital.
Without proof, they are not allowed to approach within 20 meters of the task force's duty area; this 20-meter distance is the distance they are not allowed to get close to.
The black suits only revealed the eyes of the task force members, so even if there were familiar faces among them, they couldn't call them out for questioning.
But even if they couldn't get into the task force's circle, Zuo Teng and his team weren't without options.
For example, they might observe from a distance using a telescope, have someone skilled at listening eavesdrop, or even appeal to their Lineage for help.
Ordinary matters wouldn't warrant seeking help, but Chang Kongluo's descent into madness and kidnapping is a major incident, enough to warrant extensive reporting.
At least Zuo Teng had a friendly exchange with his father, Zuo Jin, which made Zuo Teng somewhat regretful, as his father truly disappointed him.
The second generation of the Zuo Household has always been incompetent at everything, excelling in internal strife and proving utterly useless to outsiders.
"Grandpa? Your grandpa doesn't have time for Chang Kongluo, and he can't control Chang Kongluo. How dare you talk like that? What do you know? Oh, Dad, you want to talk to Xiao Teng?"
Zuo Jin gave Zuo Teng a scathing critique, believing that Zuo Teng's best course of action was to stay away from such trouble.
When Zuo Lianguang spoke, Zuo Jin timidly lowered his voice and handed the communicator to Zuo Lianguang.
"Has Chang Kongluo really gone mad? He's still wearing electronic shackles? How come no one in the task force noticed this? Where are Chang Kongyinghao and Chang Kongyinglian? Where are the people responsible for monitoring Chang Kongluo? Do you think Chang Kongluo is still in a latent phase, but hasn't gone completely out of control? He might even be thinking about removing the restraints from his body?"
Zuo Lianguang kept raising questions, and Zuo Teng responded with guesses.
He was communicating with Zuo Lianguang in a low voice.
Members of the Sequence Committee have an obligation to kill elderly Chaos Sequencers, but they also receive corresponding benefits.
For example, while participants hold an absolute advantage in dividing the relevant benefits, there are many intricate connections in the distribution, even involving corresponding subsidies from Alliance States and the sharing of advanced genetic technology data.
If Changkong is not in a good state during the air raid, this is obviously a good time to pick off enemies.
The ranking of the Sequence Committee is everything. Zuo Lianguang had never paid any attention to Chang Kongluo before, but this did not include the time when Chang Kongluo was put in electronic shackles and other items during his exercise period.
As long as Chang Kongluo does not remove the corresponding device, the electronic shackles will inevitably unleash their power after a powerful collision and fight.
After Zuo Teng's speculation and persuasion, Zuo Lianguang felt that he was tempted.
"Xiao Teng, you're right. This must be because Chang Kongluo is mentally unstable and has kidnapped Zhu Haishan, Wen Yishan, Zhang Xuezhou, and others. There's no way the situation could be reversed. This much time is enough for an accurate judgment!"
The second generation of the Zuo Household was incompetent, but Zuo Lianguang genuinely admired the third generation.
Zuo Denggao was eliminated, but Zuo Teng's excellence is undeniable.
The ability to identify situations that align with one's Lineage's interests is a quality required of a competent Lineage leader.
Zuo Teng undoubtedly did an excellent job in this regard.
Zuo Lianguang tried several times to make a call to inquire about Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian, but he stopped himself from using his right hand.
Once the situation is clarified and Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian take action, there will be no need for him to get involved.
He communicated in hushed tones very quickly, and made decisions just as quickly.
Just twenty minutes later, with a slight rumbling sound in the sky, Zuo Lianguang quickly stepped out of the aircraft.
