Chapter 469 - 467: Visiting Tan Tian
"So... is Zheng Dong dead?"
Zhang Yufei still couldn’t quite believe the fact that Zheng Dong was already dead.
"Strictly speaking, he’s dead. Don’t worry, this murderer will definitely be brought to justice in the end, I guarantee it."
Chen Tianlong didn’t reveal too much, but Zhang Yufei could see his determination from his eyes.
"Yes, I believe it too."
The breakfast was over quickly; after all, Zhang Yufei had to report back. From Chen Tianlong’s words, she knew that he didn’t want her to continue investigating the cause of this matter, perhaps because it involved too many important figures.
Chen Tianlong did not return to school immediately but drove to Tan Tian’s place instead.
The three silver needles in his hand had come into contact with the virus in Zheng Dong’s brain. He wanted to consult his master Tan Tian to find out what the Mo Family was researching that could evade high-tech hospital scans, which really intrigued him.
To tackle the Xu Family, they must defeat them medically and not let them have their way.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Tianlong arrived at the Tan Family Mansion, where Tan Tian was practicing Tai Chi in the yard, exercising his body and mind.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly and slowly walked over, sitting quietly on a wooden bench watching without interrupting.
Apparently, Tan Tian had noticed Chen Tianlong, so after practicing for a while, he wiped his forehead with a towel and said with a smile, "Long, not going to school today? How come you have time to visit this old man?"
"Hehe, I’ve got school, but I also have to see my master!"
Chen Tianlong grinned and replied.
"Go, go, come on, what’s the matter, just say it." Tan Tian knew Chen Tianlong well enough to know he wouldn’t come without a reason.
"Alright, I can’t hide anything from you, Master."
After saying that, Chen Tianlong took out three silver needles wrapped in a small plastic bag from his pocket and became serious, "Master, these three needles have a very strange virus on them that can evade high-tech medical equipment. I came here to see if you recognize it."
"Oh? This is the cause of the current uproar outside, isn’t it?" Tan Tian said calmly.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong widened his eyes. His master was truly impressive, knowing everything without stepping out, having an air of strategizing in the tent.
"Haha, Master, you’re incredible, you know everything." Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but praise.
"Alas, I don’t know who’s been making this stuff to harm people every day. Chang Chang has already come to me and shown me the report. Although everything seems normal with the deceased, the blood vessels in the brain are functioning normally, which is the most abnormal thing."
Tan Tian hit the critical point: "Medical personnel rely too much on modern high-tech. Such an obvious anomaly is clear to us old doctors. If the vital parts are still normal in the dead, there’s a big problem. Doctors focus solely on abnormal reports, ignoring the precision of the detection, which is why they can’t find the cause. It’s quite obvious that there’s a mutation in the brain."
"Hiss... Brain mutation?" Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong was shocked. It was terrifying.
"Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, the creator of this virus is similar to the one behind the fake SARS before. These people create these viruses, not for formal production but in the experimental stage, and disgracefully, each test site was placed in a school. I think he definitely has a motive."
Tan Tian analyzed.
"What motive?" Chen Tianlong asked curiously.
"To draw out some people hiding in the schools."
"What?"
Chen Tianlong gasped. He initially thought it was a coincidence, but listening to his master, it seemed more complicated.
"Long, to be honest, when we were researching new drugs last time, the Zhao Zhuo you mentioned was rescued by a man in black, whose strength was no less than mine. So, you have to be careful in your actions. The current South Sea city is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, unlike before."
Tan Tian seemed to know some secrets but felt it wasn’t the right time to divulge them.
"Hmm, I understand. So, Master, what should we do next?"
"Act according to the situation and don’t stick your neck out, as they’re also waiting for an opportunity." Tan Tian didn’t know the enemy’s purpose, so it was best to adapt to the situation with the enemy in the open and them in the dark.
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Tianlong nodded. The old saying goes, not listening to an elder’s advice could bring trouble now.
Zheng Dong had been apprehended, providing some closure, although it didn’t cause much damage to the school. However, the students still had concerns, and fewer people were going to the library now, worrying the principal, Situ Feng.
In recent days, Liu Ting gradually adapted to campus life, and since Chen Tianlong had brought her in, he, of course, had to check in on her. So, Chen Tianlong sent Liu Ting a text, inviting her to the field in the evening to ask about her recent situation.
Liu Ting naturally agreed; she was lonely here, with only Chen Tianlong and Shen Yan as her friends. Due to her long-time assassin role, she wasn’t used to socializing and, after several days, still didn’t manage to get along well with her three roommates, feeling a bit isolated.
Now that Chen Tianlong thought of her, Liu Ting was inexplicably excited and wanted to find an opportunity to secretly probe if Chen Tianlong was her Xiaowu brother.
Around nine, when everyone was in evening self-study, Chen Tianlong and Liu Ting arrived as scheduled at the field, coincidentally seen by Tang Qiqi, who quietly informed Wu Mengting.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting was calm initially but then grew anxious.
Concerning Chen Tianlong, Wu Mengting was aware of many girls liking him, but to her knowledge, they only had feelings for him since they knew she was his official girlfriend, not daring to take any action.
This time was different, though. Chen Tianlong took the initiative for a meeting, definitely suspicious.
Curiosity pushed Wu Mengting to the brink, and she couldn’t resist walking out of the classroom towards the field. Tang Qiqi was taken aback, realizing she had caused trouble, not knowing the specifics to tell Mengting.
"Liu Ting, you’re here early?"
When Chen Tianlong arrived at the field, he saw a stunningly attractive woman in a white pleated dress standing in the center of the football field, making her look especially beautiful in the evening breeze.
Surrounding the field were some dim yellow lights, not too dark. Occasionally, a figure or two appeared on the track, evidently jogging.
"Haha, I just got here recently. It was boring in the dorm alone, so I came early." Liu Ting smiled slightly, showing more warmth and less sharpness, which made Chen Tianlong feel comfortable looking at her.
