A smile suddenly appeared on Hao Liang's face.
"Old Li, Old Zhang, and everyone."
"Long time no see."
Li Tianming's gaze suddenly turned cold.
"Guo Jiuxiao. You're here."
'Guo Jiuxiao?'
'What's going on?'
'Isn't this Professor Hao?'
'Did Guo Jiuxiao seize control of Hao Liang?'
As soon as Qin Siyang heard this name, he was a little confused.
Now he was even more puzzled.
'Didn't Li Tianming say that people in their circle only fought to a certain extent?'
'This is called stopping at a certain point?'
'We were almost sent straight to the coffin!'
Qin Siyang secretly felt that something important must have changed.
It must have caused an imbalance in Old Li's circle, making Guo Jiuxiao dare to kill them.
Hao Liang nodded.
"Yes. Since you are making a reappearance, as an old friend, of course, I have to give you a gift."
"When did you take control of Hao Liang?"
Li Tianming's brows were filled with worry.
"I spoke to Hao Liang alone at the kindergarten, and I could confirm he was himself at that time."
Hao Liang raised an eyebrow.
"Who knows?"
"Why did you choose Hao Liang?"
"Among all of you, I'm most familiar with Hao Liang. Pretending to be him is also easier."
"Old Li, how was my acting?"
Li Tianming nodded slightly, "Indeed, you acted very convincingly."
"Especially the part where you yelled at Wu Yu just now. It was exactly the same as when we first met Hao Liang."
"Of course."
Hao Liang smiled, "I put in a lot of effort for today."
"It's just a pity that I was still exposed."
Hao Liang shook his head and sighed, "Old Li, this time I didn't lose to you."
"If Zhao Longfei hadn't been monitoring the whole time and narrowing down the suspects, you probably wouldn't have caught me."
"In other words."
"If you and I fight again, I'll still win."
At this, Hao Liang looked at Zhao Longfei, "Principal Zhao, are you interested in working with my team? I'm much stronger than Old Li and his people."
Zhao Longfei touched the scars on his head and chuckled, "Your ability is indeed remarkable. This skill of controlling Professor Hao is also quite unique. Hmm. That's all."
Then, Zhao Longfei stopped talking.
Hao Liang understood, "Principal Zhao means that I don't pass as a person?"
"Professor Guo, I didn't say that."
"Principal Zhao, are you going to intervene in our matters?"
Zhao Longfei sighed, "I haven't decided yet."
"After all, I don't know the secrets between you all. I'm worried that interfering might break some unspoken rules."
"However, the fact that you passed the lie detector test does interest me."
"If you're willing to share this skill, I could consider working with you."
Hao Liang said, "Principal Zhao, you must be joking. How could I share such a trump card skill with others?"
"Then there's no deal."
"Alright. Seems like Principal Zhao just doesn't want to work with me."
Zhao Longfei shrugged, "Forcing things doesn't end well."
"I understand."
Hao Liang no longer spoke to Zhao Longfei and turned to look at Li Tianming.
"Old Li, you should also see by now that what I wanted to study, I've already figured out."
"The outdated information in your hands poses no threat to me."
Li Tianming took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "I understand."
"If what I had was still valuable, you wouldn't have dared to kill all of us."
Hao Liang immediately waved his hand, "Don't slander me!"
"I never planned to kill all of you. Stop trying to make me more enemies."
"At the very least, Chang Da, Chang Er, Hao Liang, Principal Zhao, and that outstanding young man Qin Siyang. I didn't target any of them."
Li Tianming exhaled a smoke ring.
"Chang Da and Chang Er only focus on studying gods. They don't interfere with your affairs, and you might even need their help, so of course, you wouldn't touch them."
"As for Principal Zhao, hehe, I'd love to see if you'd even dare to make a move against him."
"And Qin Siyang…"
Li Tianming rubbed his eyes, "Just a small fry. I don't understand. Does killing him make any difference?"
Qin Siyang immediately protested, "Who are you calling a small fry?"
"Exactly."
Hao Liang agreed.
"A small fry? Yet all of you left the safe zone just to save him?"
"If you ask me, without Qin Siyang, your team's research power would be reduced by at least half."
Qin Siyang gave Hao Liang a thumbs-up, "Professor Guo has sharp eyes!"
Li Tianming glanced at Qin Siyang with disdain.
He and Guo Jiuxiao were singing the same tune. Who knew which side he was on?
Old Li looked at Hao Liang, "Since you think he's important to me, why didn't you kill him?"
Hao Liang chuckled, "Of course, because I think he might be important to me too."
"Qin Siyang, that teleportation skill of yours is really interesting. It can be used without restriction for a certain period."
"Are you interested in sharing it with me?"
Hearing this, Qin Siyang's eyes immediately turned cold.
So the one who controlled Laudenor and fought him at that time was Guo Jiuxiao.
He already knew about his [Banquet Domain] skill.
And judging by his expression, he seemed quite interested.
That look sent a chill down Qin Siyang's spine.
It reminded him of an old acquaintance who had been transferred to Sigma District as the police chief.
'Being targeted by freaks is never a good thing.'
Seeing Qin Siyang's expression change, Hao Liang chuckled, "No rush, no rush. We can talk about it later. We'll meet again anyway."
"Today, I mainly need to talk to Old Li and the others. Little Qin, don't be anxious. Next time we meet, we'll discuss in detail."
"Oh, and don't trust Old Li too much. He's not a good person."
Qin Siyang had heard this before.
Everyone kept saying Li Tianming wasn't a good person.
Isn't that obvious?
Did he not already know what kind of person Old Li was?
A good person wouldn't hang out with him.
Except for that foolish Zhao Sifang, none of the people around him were decent.
Hao Liang looked at Li Tianming again, "What you and Zhang Kuang are planning hasn't succeeded yet, has it?"
"These two years, you've been busy working out in your office, while Zhang Kuang has been running early childhood education in a kindergarten."
"After gathering, you two meet every day."
"Vine Core, Crimson Crystal, these are all great treasures."
"But your research, has it made any progress?"
Li Tianming snorted coldly, "None of your business."
"I have to care."
"If your research hasn't progressed, that means the data I have on your research is still valid."
"In other words."
"You can't threaten me, but I can threaten you."
"So."
"I dare to kill you, but do you dare to kill me?"
Li Tianming's fingers, holding the cigarette, trembled slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and took a puff.
"How do you know my research won't make rapid progress?"
