Chapter 52: The Interesting Part Was About to Come (1/2)

It was from hunger that He Zheng woke up. He had only had a few bites of sweet potatoes in the morning, and now it was almost lunchtime, but Li Zong still hadn't come back. Getting up on the wrong side of the bed and hunger put He Zheng in a rather bad mood.
Without giving a single glance at the phone number of Tun Shanhai that Li Zong had sent him via WeChat, He Zheng pocketed his cellphone, directly opened the door and left the room.
He Zheng walked around near the path along which Li Zong had led him to the living quarters earlier this day. Next to the living quarters was the United Front Work Department, the entry into which required a key card. He Zheng stood at the gateway in fidgets for a while. He was aimlessly looking around when the closed automatic gate opened. He Zheng casually flicked a backward glance and made eye contact with He Changchun who had just arrived in haste, and with that both of them did a double take.
”How did you come to be here?” He Changchun eyed He Zheng with a frown of suspicion on his face. ”Did you sneak in here? This is not a place you are allowed to come to!”
He Zheng gave a snort and ignored his father. He was just about to enter the building when it suddenly occurred to him that Li Zong had once told him He Jin was up to something illegal. Added to this hasty arrival of He Changchun and He Zheng came to realize what was going on. He paused and twisted his head around, a bland look on his face. ”What makes you think I'm not allowed to come to this place when you are?”
Burning with anxiety, He Changchun didn't have the time to argue with him. ”Never mind. Just follow me. Don't walk around.”
Then he hurriedly led He Zheng into the building. He Changchun was not affiliated with the Supernaturalism Management Bureau (SMB), so he took the visitor passageway. The views around them were totally different from those when he had just entered the United Front Work Department.
Zhen Daoyuan had just walked out of the office, followed by Li Zong and some others. He Changchun opened his mouth and was just about to greet Zhen Daoyuan when Zhen Daoyuan raised his hand and stopped him. ”Changchun, you may talk with Li Zong. He has a free hand in dealing with this matter.”
Looking at Zhen Daoyuan, He Changchun shut his mouth.
Li Zong flicked a glance at He Zheng who was standing behind He Changchun and with that He Zheng walked to Li Zong's side in a very natural way.
”Didn't I tell you to contact Tun Shanhai?”
He Zheng curled his lip, making no response.
