Chapter 190: The Man Behind the Scenes
In the corridor, the leader of the men in black walked in front and led Lu Li all the way. More than twenty minutes later, the two came to the end of the hallway.
In front of the two of them, there was still a fully enclosed metal door. The leader of the men in black stepped forward and pressed the button on the side, and a red beam of light shot straight out of a probe above the door.
The red beam moved slowly across the two of them. It took nearly five minutes for the scan to be completed. When the beam disappeared, the metal door opened with a thud.
At this time, the leader of the men in black turned sideways and indifferently ordered, "Go in." ”
Lu Li glanced at him and walked into the door without fear. As soon as the person walked inside, a slightly tired voice quietly floated over.
"Wu Jun, I want to talk to him alone."
The leader of the men in black changed his gaze slightly, and then turned away in silence. Lu Li watched him disappear around the corner of the corridor, and the corners of his mouth tugged slightly upward. Then he walked inside. Soon, he saw a woman with her eyes closed, leaning back in an office chair and rubbing her temples.
The woman was well-maintained and looked no different from thirty-four or fifteen years old. But the deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes betrayed her true age.
"Sit down."
The woman, who was at least forty years old, raised her hand and pointed to an office chair in front of her desk, and watched Lu Li walk over. After Lu Li sat down, she sat up straight, supported her chin with both hands, and threw out a sentence straight to the point.
"I need your joining."
Lu Li was not surprised. He was silent, his eyes blazing at the woman. Inadvertently, he quietly activated the mind-reading technique.
This woman is obviously not an evolutionary, let alone those men in black. In a few moments, he had already got the information he wanted. He tidied it up a little, a little surprised. In this woman's memory, he saw Liu Zheng, the former mayor of City A. But what surprised him even more was another thing.
"She wants to secretly build an army of evolutionarians?"
Lu Li was a little puzzled. He had only been in contact with Professor Hu for a short time, and he had already deeply realized that this strange old man was much more powerful than himself, and even more powerful than Chrissy.
He could understand the strong ambition in the heart of this woman named Liu Jie. But he didn't understand why he wanted to avoid Professor Hu and secretly establish another evolutionary army since he had Professor Hu, a master.
Hesitating, he quickly sorted out the information he had obtained from Liu Jie's memory in his mind. It didn't take long for him to somewhat understand Liu Jie's approach.
At this time, Liu Jie didn't get Lu Li's response for a long time, and her face was a little ugly. She frowned slightly, and repeated it again in displeasure. Finally, she said slowly in an unkind tone.
"I want you to think it through. It is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen to contribute to the country. I don't want you to die prematurely with such a promising young man. ”
Lu Li was stunned. He couldn't help but admire the thick-skinned nature of this woman named Liu Jie in his heart. It's obviously for his own selfish desires, but he said it so righteously.
After thinking about it, he took out the photos of his parents and Qiu Chengyu and pushed them in front of Liu Jie: "Find the whereabouts of these three people for me." I can promise to help you. ”
"It's a deal."
Liu Jie didn't look at the photo in front of her, raised her hand to the side of a phone, and pressed a button. After a while, the phone was answered, and she gave a brief command.
"Xiao Zheng, come here."
Two minutes later, the door opened again, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes entered. This young man, who is only about twenty-three or fourteen at most, is very handsome. He walked straight to his desk and asked with a warm smile.
"Sister Liu."
Liu Jie showed a smile on her face and pushed the photo in front of her over. She withdrew her hand, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and gently ordered: "Send someone to find the whereabouts of these three people......
Before he finished speaking, Lu Li immediately spoke, and added: "I only want their whereabouts, if I know that they are injured a little, the agreement between us will be invalidated immediately." ”
A trace of anger flashed in Liu Jie's eyes, and then he returned to normal, and calmly ordered: "Do as he says." If necessary, you arrange for people to secretly protect them. ”
"Okay."
The young man named Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile and left the place. Waiting for the door to close again, Liu Jie leaned back, clasped her hands and stared at Lu Li's eyes, and said expressionlessly.
"I have granted your request. If nothing else is required, I will arrange your accommodation and future work. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't say yes just yet."
Lu Li leaned back for a while, also clasped his hands and smiled: "I have other things, I need to follow Professor Hu for the time being." ”
When Liu Jie heard the previous sentence, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but she didn't attack on the spot. But when she heard the latter sentence, she couldn't bear it anymore, and her face suddenly became gloomy.
"You ......"
As soon as she said a word, Lu Li's face was fearless, still smiling, and he raised his hand to interrupt her words: "I won't tell Professor Hu the secret of your plan to bypass him to establish an evolutionary army. I just wanted to learn something from him. When I have the knowledge I want, I will take the initiative to stay away from him. ”
Hearing this explanation, Liu Jie's face improved a little. She leaned back into her place, clasped her hands and snorted coldly, "Hope you're not lying to me." The power in my hands is far beyond your imagination. Because behind me is the whole of China. ”
Lu Li laughed dumbly, and did not expose Liu Jie's lies. He nodded casually and got up and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said a sentence coldly.
"Don't try to use them to blackmail me."
After that, he didn't care about Liu Jie's reaction, and walked out of the door. It wasn't until the door closed that Liu Jie came back to her senses. Her face was cloudy, and she pressed her hand on the phone several times, but in the end she still did not move. She slowly withdrew her hand, her brow clouding with sorrow. After a while, she got up and walked out of the door, straight down the hallway.
……
Lu Li returned to the vast underground space from before and sat down in the corner again. However, he did not immediately start his previous training. He propped his chin with his right hand, frowned slightly, and thought to himself.
"This woman is too ambitious. No wonder a cult will be created to confuse the survivors. But that Professor Hu obviously knows how to read minds. People also seem to be kind. But why didn't he stop it, but did his best to help this woman? ”
He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out that Professor Hu was obviously an evolutionary as well. But that Liu Jie is clearly an ordinary woman, and she has not even been injected with human enhancers to strengthen it.
For such an ordinary old woman, what capital does Professor Hu have to do her best?
This question has always been on his mind. In the midst of his struggle, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him. When he looked up, a man in black who was more than two meters tall stood in front of him. He was shocked. He knew the giant. It was the one with the strongest brain waves among the thousands of people in black here.
The giant man was silent, took out a note from his jacket pocket, and threw it in front of Lu Li. Then he turned around and left, not caring at all how Lu Li reacted.
"He ......"
Lu Li watched the giant man return to his original position and sit down, and then looked suspiciously at the note on the ground in front of him. He picked up the note, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but change his complexion.
He immediately crumpled the note and stuffed it into his pocket. He stood up and walked briskly to the door. It was only after about half an hour that he found Professor Hu's room. As soon as he entered the door, he walked straight up to Professor Hu with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly.
"What the hell are you up to?"
Professor Hu's smile did not change, he put down the teacup with a smile, and raised his hand to signal Lu Li to sit down. Lu Li sat on the opposite side according to his words. Only then did he smile and pour a cup of hot tea for Lu Li.
"I just wanted to help you."
"Help us?"
Lu Li's eyes sharpened, and he threatened in a cold voice: "I don't know what you're having." But I have to warn you. I can count them, but I can't count them. Otherwise I won't let you go. ”
"I'm still young."
Professor Hu didn't care, shook his head and sighed: "If you can't hold your breath so much, how will you be a leader in the future?" ”
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "What does this mean?" ”
Professor Hu smiled, avoided answering, and pretended to smile profoundly: "You will understand ...... in the future."
As soon as he said this, he saw a trace of anger flashing across Lu Li's face, shook his head helplessly, and continued in a different way: "Okay, when you evolve to the third stage, I will tell you all of them." ”
Lu Li's face softened, and then he took out the note from his pocket that was crumpled into a small ball and threw it in front of Professor Hu, refusing without the slightest hesitation.
"I'm never going to bring the three of them here."
Professor Hu shrugged indifferently. He picked up the teacup again, took a leisurely sip, and then smiled slowly: "If they don't come here, they will never be able to go further." ”
Lu Li was stunned and speechless. He knew that the old man in front of him had excellent intelligence, and his understanding of the Evolver was even greater than Chrissy's. He has believed this sentence for seven or eight points. After a long time, he closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath, then suddenly lowered his head, stared at Professor Hu's eyes with blazing eyes, and said slowly.
"I can promise you."
Professor Hu smiled and raised his hand to stop Lu Li's words: "I know you attach great importance to them. I can assure you. There are only benefits to coming here, no harm. ”
Where is Lu Li's trust. However, considering the future of Di Yu and the others, he can only self-hypnotize, believing that Professor Hu, a master, will not harm the three of them.
Professor Hu shook his head and said with a smile: "If you still don't believe what I say. I can arrange for you to meet with someone. He will tell you what kind of person I am. ”
Lu Li scoffed at this. He was about to sneer a few words and vent his resentment. Unexpectedly, he saw Professor Hu smile mysteriously, and the scene became blurry as soon as he saw a flower in front of him.
When he saw the scene in front of him again, his face suddenly changed drastically.
