Chapter 40 (1/2)

Zhang Heng was not some idiot who let his emotions do the talking. In fact, he had an IQ and EQ that scored higher than the average person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to survive in the missions issued by the Dimensional Star twice.

Regardless of why Li Yiru decided to get near him—be it due to some kind of conspiracy or she was simply doing something out of her own volition—Zhang Heng hardly cared. He was not afraid of the Li Group trying to scheme against him and the possibility of them trying to undermine him wasn’t high enough to begin with.

Zhang Heng saw that a fiery red supercar appeared at his door from the CCTV less than 20 minutes after that call. While he wasn’t familiar with the brand of that car, he was definitely able to tell that the car at his door was something far more expensive than his Audi A8. The supercar parked quickly, and Li Yiru and a skinny young man walked out of the car and headed straight for the door of the warehouse.

Zhang Heng covered the massive Black Marker with a massive piece of white cloth casually after seeing the two of them show up at his door before heading out to open the door for them.

Li Yiru was dressed in black professional attire and wore sunglasses, with the scent of branded, expensive perfume about her. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest and said nothing after seeing Zhang Heng open the door.

Zhang Heng took note of her displeasure and felt his head start to ache. He simply grinned and said, “So, I guess someone has ticked off our class rep here?”

“Yeah, I just happened to run into some ingrate, that’s all.” Li Yiru snorted and walked through the door. That young man behind her followed sheepishly after her without saying a word before grabbing Zhang Heng’s hands and shook them furiously. “Oh, my lord savior, I’ve been looking all over the place for you! It took me a lot of trouble to get into contact with Ms. Li and getting to know that you live here.”

“You’re… Fang Hao?” Zhang Heng was stunned for a bit before realizing that the pale-looking young man who appeared to have recovered from a serious disease not so long ago was that patient named Fang Hao who had been cured by T-1 a little more than a month ago.

When Zhang Heng first met Fang Hao, the latter looked so skinny and frail that he practically looked like he was all bones and had lost all of his hair due to the chemotherapy treatments. Things have gotten a lot better for him since, and despite still looking a little sickly at the moment, he appeared far better than he was back then.

“Thank goodness my lord savior still remembers me! Hehe, sorry for suddenly dropping by today.” Fang Hao clapped Zhang Heng’s shoulder like they had been buddies for a very long time, before going through the door as he chuckled, taking an uninvited tour around the place.

The warehouse given by Li Jianguo had an area size of seven to eight hundred square meters, which made it look like a miniature plaza. The roofing was constructed of steel and plastic. The building looked empty with only a bed and a computer table around, as well as the mysterious pillar covered with a white cloth before the computer table.

“Where’s your team?” Li Yiru took a glance at the building before turning around to look at him. “Didn’t you say that you have an R&D team? Why are you the only one around here?”

“Well, can’t my team just be on vacation?” Zhang Heng rolled his eyes. While he did owe Li Yiru a favor, he also remembered that she wasn’t the type to put up airs back then. Both of them had gotten considerably closer due to their respective relationship with Li Jianguo, but he nonetheless wondered why she seemed to put up more airs after getting to know her better.

While Zhang Heng was still feeling exasperated about her behavior, Li Yiru added, “I don’t think your team is on vacation. The way I see it, you’re the only member in your so-called team.”

Li Yiru stood at his side and took an interrogative stance at him. “Three months ago, you rented the fifth lab in our school’s lab building and went on to do experiments for over two months, but no one knew what kind of experiments you were doing. When the experiments were done, you announced at the party that your team developed that T-1 Biopharmaceutical all of sudden. If I’m not mistaken, you were the one who single-handedly developed the T-1, right?”

Zhang Heng spread his arms, shrugged, and didn’t say anything. He knew that he couldn’t keep that a secret for long. There was simply no way a regular person like him would be able to hide secrets from those who were out to look for it after all. Then again, it was not like knowing that he was working all alone mattered. The fact would only boost his value without affecting him in any other ways.
