Chapter 288: Gifts are exchanged

The hard wooden chair handle cracked, and the five fingers were deeply embedded in the handle, and the bulging green tendons showed how angry the owner of the palm was at this time.
"A peak Morning Star knight, and a heavily armed tank company, are actually wiped out?" Zhou Heqin's face was extremely pale, and his eyes were staring at the subordinates reporting in front of him.
The latter's body trembled, cold sweat trickled down his face, and he lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
There was a deathly silence in the study.
Several people sitting around the desk looked at each other speechlessly, and after a long time, a mature man who was about thirty years old and had a calm temperament said: "Dad, according to the surviving guards of those research centers, there seems to be a Bright Moon Knight among the invaders, He Wanfeng should have doubts about this, so he personally went out, and now it seems that this information is very likely to be true!"
"Even if the attacker is not a Knight of the Radiant Moon, he should be a peak Morning Star Knight who has mastered the secret technique of exploding seeds or temporarily increased his strength with some kind of transcendent item. ”
There were no objections.
There were only these two explanations they could think of, otherwise, they would not be able to explain why the enemy was able to kill He Wanfeng, who was the peak Morning Star Knight, and an entire tank company.
After all, he was the head of the patriarchal family, Zhou Heqin quickly calmed down, and his face returned to normal, but the chill in his eyes was excessive.
"Have you found out who that person is?"
The calm man, Zhou Guang, Zhou Heqin's eldest son, shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet, but the identities of the group of transcendents who invaded the research center last night have been clarified, and they are mercenaries found by the Gu family." ”
When the words fell, Zhou Heqin's eyes became more and more cold, and he gritted his teeth and spit out two words:
"Gu family!"
Another young man next to him who looked a little similar to him, but was younger, hurriedly said, "In that case, could the person who killed He Wanfeng be the old ghost of the Gu family?"
"It's not him. Zhou Guang directly denied his younger brother Zhou Chun's speculation, "I asked the survivors at the scene in detail, that person only used swordsmanship from beginning to end, and he also mastered a black sword qi, He Wanfeng died under this kind of sword qi, and everyone knows that Gu Lao Ghost is an elemental envoy, even if he knows a little swordsmanship, it will never reach the point where he can kill He Wanfeng with swordsmanship alone!"
"What's more, I asked Miss Lu Qiu, and she said that the person was at the scene from the beginning, watching the battle coldly, and he didn't make a move until He Wanfeng repelled the invaders, from this point of view, that person and the Gu family should not be in the same group. ”
Zhou Heqin's expression suddenly moved: "Lu Qiu is also at the scene?"
"Yes, Miss Lu Qiu proposed to visit our Meteorite Laboratory last night, because I was not in Silver Tree City at the time, so I asked the person in charge of the research center to take her on a tour. ”
"What else did Lu Qiu say?"
Zhou Guang hesitated, seemed to hesitate, but finally said truthfully: "Yes, she said that the person is very young, no more than twenty-five years old at most." ”
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent, followed by a low inhalation.
Not more than twenty-five years old?
Even if that person wasn't the Radiant Moon Knight, but the Peak Morning Star Knight, who had taken advantage of a brief increase in strength, it would be terrifying enough.
You must know that a Morning Star Knight who is about thirty years old is enough to be called a peerless genius in any country, let alone a peak Morning Star Knight who is no more than twenty-five years old.
As for the Knight of the Radiant Moon...... Everyone present at this time selectively ignored the first possibility that Zhou Guang had just mentioned, the Radiant Moon Knight in his twenties...... The odds are almost negligible, and this is not the land of the legendary knights.
Zhou Chun's eyes widened in astonishment, and he muttered, "Just kidding, the peak Morning Star Knight in her twenties, that woman won't be talking nonsense......"
In the middle of speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Heqin, whose face changed sharply: "Shut up!"
Zhou Chun was startled, his head couldn't help but shrink, and he looked at his father in confusion.
Zhou Heqin looked at him coldly: "Miss Lu Qiu's words are also something you can question, use your head to think about it before speaking, if such words reach Miss Lu Qiu's ears, do you know how much trouble it will bring to our family?"
Zhou Chun's reprimanded face turned red, and he wanted to argue that he only said this in a private study, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his brother Zhou Guang shaking his head at him slightly, hesitated, forced down the disbelief in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I know it's wrong, Dad." ”
Zhou Heqin looked at his demeanor and sighed secretly.
His three sons, Zhou Hongzhang died in the ruins of the Star Calamity, and the younger son was still reckless in his twenties, without any maturity and stability, and he could only be a rich child who relied on the family's cute shade in the future, and he couldn't afford to take on a big responsibility.
Fortunately, there is still a boss, although he has less courage, but he is better than acting steadily, and after inheriting the position of head of the family in the future, it is more than enough to keep it.
With a hundred turns of thought, Zhou Heqin restrained his distracting thoughts, no longer paid attention to his younger son who was still angry, turned his head to look at Zhou Guang, and ordered in a deep voice: "Continue to send more people to investigate the identity of that person, and don't relax the surveillance on the Gu family's side, at this time, the extraordinary powerhouse who attacked our family industry, even if it is not a member of the Gu family, it will not be able to get rid of them!"
"Yes!" Zhou Guang nodded heavily.
"In addition, draw some dead soldiers from the family, and recruit a few mercenaries to destroy some important industries of the Gu family, and you can choose the specific target. A cold smile flashed on Zhou Heqin's face, "Gifts are still exchanged, the Gu family is so 'enthusiastic', we also have to give them a few big gifts!"
.......
Lin Lichuan took a sip of black tea and breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it is the Tania Empire or Heiyan Island, they can't drink tea with such a fragrant taste, and I have to say that the Qianyuan Business Alliance has left the first two far behind in terms of life enjoyment.
Putting down the teacup, he returned his attention to the document in his hand, and asked as he flipped through it, "Isn't there a goal like the Special Energy Research Center?"
Yao Sheng thought for a while, and replied with a sad face: "Yes, yes, but it is far away from Yinshu City, and it is not in line with our purpose to attack those industries." ”
Lin Lichuan thought for a few seconds and nodded.
Indeed, their goal is to lure out Zhou Ze, if the scope of destruction is expanded, it will only increase the difficulty of 'finding' him to the Zhou family, but the gains outweigh the losses.
"Forget it, when Zhou Ze is solved, let's start with those research centers and laboratories. ”
Lin Lichuan quickly had a plan, and his eyes slid on the document at will.
If there were no meteorite stones, the rest of these industries would be almost the same, and he would have picked a few targets in a short time.
