Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 129 I have other uses for your brain!

"Oh, Brother Lu, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Zhang Chulan walked slowly towards Lu Liang with a smile on his face, his hands slightly raised, and the smile on his face looked very innocent.

His expression was extremely natural, so natural that it seemed as if the fact that he had just instructed Feng Baobao to snatch the sac and run away was just an illusion.

Zhang Chulan glanced at Liu Mingyuan, who had been knocked unconscious, and continued to explain to Lu Liang:

"Hehe, Sister Baoer and I were just joking. We just wanted to test their reactions and see if this magical weapon was important..."

"Who knew it would turn into such a misunderstanding!"

"...Hey, Brother Lu, were those puppets you just summoned? They're so powerful, they even have their own cannons..."

Listening to Zhang Chulan's forced excuses, Lu Liang played with the devouring sac in his hand, with a meaningful smile on his lips. He said nothing, but just watched Zhang Chulan's performance quietly.

Mei Jinfeng, who was standing by, could no longer suppress her anger and spoke first.

Her face, covered with traces of age, was now filled with anger, and her wrinkles were even deeper due to her emotional excitement.
"Zhang Chulan, why did you do that?"

"Are you planning to steal the Master's collection and hand it over to the company?"

Mei Jinfeng glared at him, her voice filled with deep disappointment.

Because of Zhang Huaiyi, she had a pretty good impression of Zhang Chulan, but she never expected that Zhang Chulan would betray her at this critical moment and directly rob the collection.

"Granny Jinfeng, you misunderstood. I really didn't want to steal it. I was just curious..."

Zhang Chulan shamelessly defended himself, glancing at Lu Liang and the swallowing bag in Lu Liang's hand out of the corner of his eyes while he spoke.

Lu Liang glanced at Zhang Chulan, casually tossed the sac in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Zhang Chulan, you seem to be particularly concerned about what's inside."

"Hahaha, I am a little curious." Zhang Chulan tried hard to keep a natural expression.

"After all, Senior Wu Gensheng is my grandfather's sworn brother, so he's also my uncle. Of course I'm curious about his past."

After hearing these words, Mei Jinfeng's expression eased slightly, and the anger in her eyes subsided a little.

"So that's how it is..." Lu Liang also nodded.

But the next moment, a playful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Zhang Chulan and said:
"Since you're so curious, how about we take out everything inside now so everyone can take a look together?"

As soon as these words came out, the calmness that Zhang Chulan pretended to have on his face instantly collapsed.

His muscles tensed up involuntarily, and every nerve felt like a taut bowstring. The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Liang clearly said, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Of course Lu Liang would not answer, but continued to ask with a smile:

"Zhang Chulan, what do you think of my proposal just now?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhang Chulan laughed awkwardly twice, his mind working rapidly, and he immediately changed his words:
"I think since these things are so important, it would be safer to wait until we get outside to take a look."

"That's it."

Lu Liang nodded, seeming to agree with Zhang Chulan's statement.

But before Zhang Chulan's tense nerves could relax, Lu Liang had already taken out a small telescope, aimed it at the round hole of the sac, and slowly looked inside.

At the moment he lowered his head, he shrugged at Zhang Chulan and said in a relaxed tone:

"But I want to see it now."

……

Seeing Lu Liang's series of actions, Zhang Chulan's heart suddenly tightened.

Especially when Lu Liang lowered his head to look at the devouring sac, Zhang Chulan felt that his heartbeat almost stopped.

He stared at Lu Liang without blinking, paying close attention to every subtle change in Lu Liang's expression, trying to catch any clues from it.

Fortunately, Lu Liang's expression did not fluctuate too much, at least, there was no obvious surprise or joy.

This made Zhang Chulan feel a little relieved, and the heart that was hanging in his throat finally settled down temporarily.

However, after a brief moment of peace of mind, new questions quietly arose in his mind:

Could it be that there is nothing related to Sister Baoer in those collections?
This speculation made Zhang Chulan happy and worried.

What worries me is that this trip to the Qinling Mountains may be in vain.

The good news is that at least Sister Baoer’s secret will not be exposed in public.

After much thought, at this moment, Zhang Chulan would rather there was really nothing in the sac.

However, he began to wonder again: If there was really nothing inside, why did the yellow-haired guy look so surprised when he saw Sister Baoer?

Could it be that Yaoxing Society has known about Sister Baoer for a long time?
……

Before Zhang Chulan could come up with an answer, Lu Liang had already raised his head.

He first calmly took out his devouring sac and collected Ruhua, whom he had released earlier.

Then, he handed the small telescope and the devouring sac he had obtained from Liu Mingyuan to Mei Jinfeng beside him.

"Grandma, please check the collection inside first."

Then, Lu Liang turned his gaze to Zhuge Qing and Baron and ordered in an orderly manner:

"Those people from Yaoxing Society need to be tied up, just in case."

"We also need to search the belongings on them."

Zhuge Qing nodded in agreement. Although Barron didn't say anything, he also took action.

Finally, Lu Liang's gaze fixed on Zhang Chulan.

"Zhang Chulan, can we talk alone?"

Zhang Chulan's eyes were fixed on the swallowing sac in Mei Jinfeng's hand, and he was very reluctant to leave.

But he also knew that now, Lu Liang had the final say here.

Therefore, he quickly moved his feet, and at the same time, he gently shook his head at Feng Baobao who wanted to catch up, and said soothingly:
"Sister Baoer, just wait for me here. We're just chatting. Nothing will happen."

……

The two crossed the cliff and walked towards the valley.

Lu Liang stopped in front of a mountain wall.

When chatting here, even if Zhuge Qing turned on "Listen to the Wind Singing", he couldn't hear the voice clearly.

Lu Liang crossed his arms, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and looked straight at Zhang Chulan, saying in a slightly teasing tone:

"Zhang Chulan, I kindly called you over, but you snatched the treasure and ran away. Isn't that a bit of a vengeance?"

"Repaying kindness with enmity? Come on!"

Zhang Chulan put his hands in his pockets, holding a piece of grass root he picked up casually in his mouth, with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Lü Liang, neither of us is a good person."

"Although I still don't understand why you asked me to come to Qinling, I'm sure it's definitely not for my own good."

"Just like if I said I wanted to repay you now, you definitely wouldn't believe me."

"In that case, let's not waste time on those nonsense and get straight to the point."

He glanced at Lu Liang and asked, "Am I right?"

"Hmm... good analysis."

Lu Liang reached out and patted him twice, praising him casually.

He looked at Zhang Chulan with a smile: "I am indeed not a good person, but cooperating with me is definitely a good thing."

"Good thing?"

Zhang Chulan frowned slightly, obviously not quite believing it.

"Lü Liang, you were waiting for me to make a move on purpose, weren't you?"

"When we entered the mountain, you deliberately revealed that magical storage device, and then seemingly accidentally called out 'Liu Mingyuan's' name... This series of actions was all designed to lure me into attacking him, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Liang did not hide it and nodded frankly in acknowledgement with a smile on his face.

A scrutinizing gleam flashed in Zhang Chulan's eyes as he looked straight into Lu Liang's eyes.

"Are you doing this so that you can stand on the side that is more reasonable in the discussion right now?"

"No." Lu Liang raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.

"I just want to confirm how important Feng Baobao is to you."

As he spoke, Lu Liang raised his hand and snapped his fingers. In the blink of an eye, a devouring sac appeared in his palm.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "Zhang Chulan, perhaps I understand you better than you think."

"Justice, rules, other people's opinions... none of these are that important to you."

"I believe that in order to protect Feng Baobao's secret, you would do it even if I asked you to harm the company." "But at the same time, you would also be thinking about how to completely eliminate me as a future trouble."

After that, Lu Liang repeated what Zhang Chulan had just said:

"Are you right?"

Zhang Chulan did not answer, but his solemn expression and increasingly vigilant eyes were already the best answer.

……

In Zhang Chulan's silence, Lu Liang continued to speak slowly:
"Zhang Chulan, when I was checking Liu Mingyuan's sac just now, you kept staring at me. Were you trying to confirm if there was anything related to Feng Baobao in the collection?"

Zhang Chulan still didn't say anything, but his eyes moved quickly, as if he was thinking about Lu Liang's purpose.

Lu Liang observed Zhang Chulan's expression with great interest, and said in a light tone:

"I have good news for you. It does exist."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chulan's face changed suddenly, and the grass roots that were originally swaying with the corners of his mouth suddenly stopped.

He subconsciously moved his feet, leaning forward slightly, almost wanting to turn around and run towards Mei Jinfeng immediately.

……

At this moment, Lu Liang spoke again.

"But," Lu Liang deliberately dragged out his voice, with a look of joy on his face, as if he had succeeded in a prank, "I just secretly took that thing out!"

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened, his expression changed from panic to shock, and then a hint of realization flashed across his face.

Recalling the scene just now, Lu Liang did take out two devouring sacs at the same time. It seems that the transfer of items was completed at that time.

"What is that thing...?"

Zhang Chulan looked at Lu Liang and asked in a tense voice.

Lu Liang did not answer directly, but slightly turned the swallowing bag in his hand.

next moment.

A painting suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Zhang Chulan.

It was a half-human-height oil painting of a portrait.

The moment his eyes fell on the oil painting, Zhang Chulan held his breath and was stunned.

In the painting, a young girl is sitting leisurely on the railing in front of an earthen house, her legs swinging gently. Her big round eyes and two black braids are very eye-catching.

The scenes and costumes in the painting are very old-fashioned, and even the canvas itself is covered with traces of erosion by time.

But Zhang Chulan knew the person in the painting.

It's more than just acquaintance, it's a familiarity that comes from being with each other day and night.

That was Feng Baobao when she was a teenager.

Although she is wearing clothes from the Republic of China period in the painting, her face looks more childish than it does now.

But that extraordinarily clean and pure look, that jet-black, shiny hair...

Every detail clearly shows that the person in the painting is Feng Baobao!
Zhang Chulan was in a trance, and thoughts surged rapidly in his mind.

This painting is from Wu Gensheng's collection. Does this mean that Wu Gensheng knows Bao Bao? And, moreover, they have a very close relationship...

Baoer's life experience is really related to Wu Gensheng!

……

Zhang Chulan wanted to reach out and touch the painting, but just as he was about to squat down, the painting disappeared out of thin air.

Zhang Chulan immediately raised his hand and just saw Lu Liang putting away the devouring sac.

Lu Liang smiled at him.

"Isn't it interesting? Among Wu Gensheng's decades-old collection is Feng Baobao..."

"It seems that she has not only lived for more than ten years without changing her appearance, but has maintained her youthfulness for decades."

After hearing these two sentences, the excitement on Zhang Chulan's face turned into vigilance again.

He stood up again, staring at Lu Liang.

"Lü Liang, what do you want?"

"Zhang Chulan, shouldn't I be the one asking you this? What do you want, this painting?"

Zhang Chulan nodded honestly, which was rare.

"Not only this painting, I also need you to keep this secret."

He asked bluntly, "Lü Liang, just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"readily!"

Lu Liang nodded slightly to show his approval, and then frankly stated the purpose of inviting Zhang Chulan here.

"Zhang Chulan, I do need your help with some work, but it's not just one thing, but long-term cooperation."

"Besides, this cooperation means more to you than to me."

"Now, I'm not the only one who's paying attention to Feng Baobao. At least Yaoxing Society is very interested in Feng Baobao."

Lu Liang's tone was sincere.

"I know Feng Baobao is very special, but I don't covet her secrets."

"At least for now, I am more reliable than other forces."

"How about it, Zhang Chulan, do you want to cooperate with me?"

Zhang Chulan pursed his lips and did not agree immediately.

Lu Liang's gaze fell on Zhang Chulan, waiting patiently.

Smart people like Zhang Chulan are difficult to control, but very useful and worth coaxing.

……

After a moment, Zhang Chulan finally spoke, but he talked about another topic.

"Lü Liang, you should have seen the post that revealed your identity."

"Before I left, the company's board of directors had already issued a call for a meeting of the ten leaders."

Zhang Chulan reminded:

"Although the people around you may not reveal your whereabouts, the people in the company have special ways to know where you are."

Hearing this, Lu Liang was not surprised and just nodded slightly.

"I know. A strange person who's good at tracking people online."

He chuckled and said, "I guess the Ten Lords and the company's people should already be heading to Qinling. They're probably waiting to catch me when I get out!"

Seeing Lu Liang's calm demeanor, Zhang Chulan's expression changed, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

No wonder Lu Liang’s phone was often turned off, and the text messages he sent to Lu Liang were never replied in time... It turned out that Lu Liang had been on guard against Er Zhuang for a long time.

But the key question is, how did Lu Liang know about Er Zhuang's existence?
Could it be that Lu Liang has an undercover agent in the company's senior management?

Or, which important person's memory was stolen by Lu Liang?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Chulan silently raised Lu Liang's danger level several levels in his mind.

Zhang Chulan looked at Lu Liang and asked:
"Now that you know all this, aren't you worried? Can you handle so many people by yourself?"

"Who said I was alone?"

A playful look appeared on Lu Liang's face, and he looked straight at Zhang Chulan.

"I still have you."

"Aren't we discussing cooperation now?"

He said with a firm tone: "Zhang Chulan, between the company and Feng Baobao, you will definitely choose Feng Baobao."

"Do you think that if Feng Baobao's secret is exposed, will those people be more interested in me or her?"

……

Zhang Chulan's expression froze and his eyes flickered.

After a moment, he finally made up his mind, and the confusion in his eyes became firm.

He looked up at Lu Liang and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

"There's no rush now. You'll know when the time comes."

Lu Liang answered with a smile, and at the same time raised his hand and patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't really let you fight against the Ten Lords. I have other uses for your brain."
