“Hello?”
“I’m Luo Zhan.”
“…Ah,” the other party seemed to be stunned for a few seconds before responding, and the voice immediately became excited, “Are you looking for me? Did you know that Grandpa Luo came to my house this morning? We-“
“Tonight at 8 o’clock.”
Luo Zhan interrupted her lazily.
He raised his hands from his trouser pockets until they were at eye level. Looking at his watch, Luo Zhan said in a cold and indifferent voice, “Let’s meet.”
The person on the other end breathed heavily for a few seconds, and after a long while he suppressed his excitement and asked, “Okay. Which restaurant shall we meet at?”
“Restaurant?” Luo Zhan sneered, “Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t invite you out for dinner or anything like that.”
“?”
“I just want to prove a point to you.”
“What, a point?”
“You’ll know when the time comes – tonight at 8 o’clock, at the Tang family’s side residence. Remember to be there on time.”
After saying the last sentence, Luo Zhan hung up the phone. He walked back to Lin Yi and handed him the phone. When Lin Yi took it, Luo Zhan patted his shoulder and said, “Thank you.”
“Master, you’ve already thanked me once. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Well, it’s different.” Luo Zhan lowered his hands and lazily put them back into his trouser pockets. “Aren’t you solving problems that have already happened and those that haven’t happened yet?”
Lin Yi: “Of course.”
“So the first thank you was for your phone, and the second was for…” Luo Zhan curled his lips, turned around and walked out of the dining room, and smiled lazily, “I suggest you put Tang Luoqian’s phone number on the blacklist after tonight.”
“…”
Lin Yi watched the figure disappear outside the closed double doors of the dining room. He then lowered his head helplessly and said, “Old sir, the young master will probably do something out of line tonight. Should I send someone to stop him?”
“Don’t worry about him.” Old Master Luo snorted coldly, “It’s better to let him cause some trouble, so that he won’t be so lawless and ignore everyone in the future.”
Lin Yi smiled bitterly: “Yes.”
7:57 PM.
In the open space in front of the Tang family’s side house, the loader truck of the INT laboratory was parked alone.
There was no light on in the car, it was pitch black, but it was not quiet – and faint snoring sounds were heard in the front compartment, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Lin Qianhua was sitting on the seat, leaning against the door, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror outside the car. At a certain moment, his sight caught something, and he suddenly sat up straight with a start, and pushed the person next to him hard: “Senior Tan, Senior Tan! Here she comes!”
The snoring stopped abruptly.
A few seconds later, Tan Yunchang wiped his face and turned over while mumbling, “Who’s coming?”
“Tang Luoqian, did you forget what Brother Zhan told you to do when you were going to sleep?”
“Tang Luoqian? Oh…oh, I remember now.” Tan Yunchang yawned and sighed, “It’s still dark in the middle of the night. How miserable am I to have to obey the orders of this ancestor? My life is miserable.”
Lin Qianhua smiled: “Senior Tan, you should be more open-minded. Although it was Brother Zhan who ordered this, it was still for Sister Tang Ran. Who is Sister Tang Ran? She is the daughter of your idol.”
“That makes sense.” Tan Yunchang gave Lin Qianhua a thumbs up, then opened the car door and jumped out.
Tang Luoqian, who was passing by, was obviously startled by the noise and turned her head to look over in panic.
Tan Yunchang walked forward towards the light and grinned, “Good evening, Miss Tang.”
When Tan Yunchang came closer, Tang Luoqian took a closer look, and her ugly expression regained some of her usual pride: “Why is it you? What are you doing here? Where are Luo Zhan and the others?”
Tan Yunchang smiled: “Ms. Tang, you asked me three questions in a row, but I only have one mouth. Which one do you want me to answer?”
Tang Luoqian thought about it for a moment, then looked at Tan Yunchang with disdain: “I’m not interested in you, let’s pick the third one.”
Tan Yunchang: “…”
Tan Yunchang sighed: “Okay, I’ll answer them one by one. First of all, I come here every night to give sister Tang Ran her bionic robot, which is in care of our laboratory – you should have heard of it, right?”
Tang Luoqian raised her chin with an unexpected expression: “Got it.”
“Then, I stayed here tonight to wait for you.”
“……?” Tang Luoqian turned back suspiciously, “What do you mean? It was Luo Zhan who asked me to come.”
“He made the appointment, but he asked me to come and wait for you.”
“What about Luo Zhan?”
“Don’t worry, isn’t this the last question?” Tan Yunchang waved at Tang Luoqian and smiled cunningly, “Come with me, you can see him outside the side house.”
After saying this, Tan Yunchang turned around and left, completely disregarding the gentlemanly principle of letting ladies go first.
Tang Luoqian was stunned for a few seconds before she hurriedly chased after him and asked in a bad tone, “Why are you taking me to the side house?”
“To let you see what Luo Zhan wanted you to see?”
“…” Tang Luoqian’s expression suddenly turned ugly, “You mean, Luo Zhan is with Tang Ran right now?”
“Yes and no.”
“Just tell me what you mean!”
“Tsk tsk, I’ve never seen a young lady with such a bad temper.” Tan Yunchang sighed and kept walking. “I’ll say it one last time. Don’t talk when you go over there later. When you see him, you’ll naturally know why Luo Zhan asked you to come out. Of course, if you don’t want to know now, you can turn around and go home as soon as possible.”
Tang Luoqian gritted her teeth in anger, but she had no choice but to follow.
When she arrived at the side house, Tang Luoqian wanted to say something until she suddenly saw the half-open door.
She paused: “Why is the door not closed?”
“It was specially reserved for us. This scene cannot be disturbed.” Tan Yunchang lowered his voice and put his index finger to his lips, “For the viewing experience of you and others, please do not make any noise.”
Tang Luoqian just felt confused and had a premonition of irritation, so she glared at Tan Yunchang fiercely.
Tan Yunchang lowered his head, swiped his fingertips on the phone, and sent out a message that he had prepared long ago.
Two seconds later, he silently opened the door, smiled at Tang Luoqian, and whispered, “Miss Tang, please watch carefully.”
Tang Luoqian frowned slightly and was about to speak when he heard the sound of a mechanical door opening in the room.
Opposite the entrance, the girl who also heard the noise raised her head in a certain direction:
“…Luo Luo?”
“I am here.”
The mechanical, magnetic sound traveled unimpeded from the room to the outside of the door.
A familiar silhouette walked into Tang Luoqian’s field of vision.
Under Tang Luoqian’s stunned gaze, the man stopped.
Two seconds later.
As the thin lips slightly opened, a low and gentle mechanical voice sounded——
“Good evening, Master.”
