Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Zhong Chenmu was shocked when he heard Pierce's sudden question.

He did have something to hide from Pierce, but he couldn't admit it no matter what.

So, he used the opportunity of wiping his face to get over the tension he had just felt.

After all, his hair was dripping with water, and it was normal for him to wipe the water off his face every once in a while.

He pushed his hair back vigorously, then shook the water in his palms onto the floor. Then he replied, "President, the reason I came here so hastily today is to tell you the results of our advance team's discussion."

Pierce looked carefully at Zhong Chenmu's slightly childish face, and after a while he replied, "Okay, tell me about it."

Recently, including just now, Pierce continued to study the various information in the book in the reading room. He felt more and more shallow, and somehow, he felt that Zhong Chenmu seemed to know more than him, so he wanted to use this method to deceive the young man.

It seems that this trick did not work.

Or maybe Zhong Chenmu doesn't have any more secrets.

After listening to Zhong Chenmu's description of the advance team's plan, Pierce pulled himself out of his previous emotions and replied approvingly, "Well, that's a good idea. Besides the physical labor, it also involves mental labor and differentiation. It may not work, but it's worth a try. From now on, you can communicate directly with Hydrogen Thoughts. You don't have to go through me every time. Just let me know the progress each time."

Zhong Chenmu answered loudly: "No problem!"

Without further ado, he turned and left.

Pierce did not try to keep him, but looked at his back, as if thinking about something.

When Zhong Chenmu arrived at the library entrance again, he searched several times in the rain and found that the bicycle he had just ridden was missing.

"Is there anyone who wants such a broken bicycle..."

He felt a little frustrated and could only walk to the other side of the riverside road in the rain and wait for the bus obediently at the platform.

Fortunately, there is a canopy on the platform.

He had just stood still on the platform when he saw a black car driving towards him in the heavy rain.

As if afraid that the water on the roadside would splash onto him due to the wheels, the car drove very slowly until it stopped steadily in front of him.

The passenger door opened and a burly man in a black suit came out, holding a black umbrella that directly covered half of Zhong Chenmu's body.

Zhong Chenmu involuntarily took a half step back, looking warily at the man who was half a head taller than him: "Who are you?"

The big man was serious, his eyes narrowed, and he exuded a fierceness from head to toe, but his words were very gentle: "Hello, Captain Zhong, our Master Liang invites you to come sit down."

After saying that, he skillfully opened the back door without saying anything else and raised the big black umbrella above the door, ignoring the fact that most of his body was exposed to the heavy rain and was soaked in an instant, but he remained motionless.

Zhong Chenmu was shocked. He felt that he seemed to have heard the word "Master Liang" somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment, and his legs involuntarily moved towards the back seat.

When he saw the neat and clean interior of the car, he hesitated again.

After all, he was like a drowned chicken at the moment, wet all over. If he sat in the car, wouldn't he make water stains all over the luxury car?

The big man saw his dilemma and continued in a very gentle tone, "It's okay, we will take care of the car. Just get in and relax. When you get to our place, you can take a shower first. We have clean clothes for you to change into."

Zhong Chenmu was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so thoughtful. It seemed a little unreal.

So, he asked, "This service...is free, right?"

"..."

The big man didn't answer, but just shook his head with a rather strange expression.

So, Zhong Chenmu sat down in it.

Sure enough, the seat was very soft and fit well. It would have been more comfortable if my wet pants weren't sticking tightly to my butt and thighs.

There was also a refreshing fragrance in the car.

As the car drove smoothly on the road, Zhong Chenmu suddenly remembered: "Master Liang? Isn't he the mysterious figure that Old Man Liu mentioned at the entrance of the 'Refreshing' bar in Leyou Pavilion that night? The owner of Leyou Mansion?!"

Suddenly, he began to feel nervous, not knowing what was waiting for him.

Sure enough, after an indeterminate amount of time, the car finally arrived at Leyou Pavilion. However, instead of heading for the crowded underground parking lot entrance, it drove onto a side street. Somehow, the driver manipulated the car, and a roadside wall slowly moved from left to right along the ground.

It turns out this is a door!

The car drove in leisurely, and then the door slowly closed.

Zhong Chenmu felt that the whole world had changed. Outside the door, everything was in chaos, but inside the door, everything was in order, with green grass and beautiful buildings distributed in a very symmetrical manner. The roads were clean and the drainage system was obviously very developed. Even after raining for such a long time, there was no water on the road, as if he had entered a pure land of bliss.

The car drove into a special parking garage. After getting out of the car, the big man led Zhong Chenmu through a small door inside and entered a corridor.

Zhong Chenmu was just about to ask a question when he saw the big man put his right index finger to his mouth and made a "hush" gesture.

It looked so funny that Zhong Chenmu almost laughed out loud.

However, he was very calm and swallowed the question that was about to be asked.

"Who cares! Since I'm here, I'll just take things as they come. Is this Mr. Liang going to kill me?"

So, led by the big man, he walked through the corridor and entered a small hall, then entered another door from there, crossed a new corridor, and came to a suite. There, he took a shower, changed into a handsome shirt and trousers, and then was taken by the big man again to a magnificent room.

The room was decorated in a very retro style, with a heavy-looking coffee table on the top. A wooden bench sat on one of the long sides, and two single chairs were placed on each of the short sides, facing each other. They all looked to be made of solid wood, gleaming brown.

Two rows of beautifully packaged mineral water were neatly placed on the coffee table. It was a brand he had never seen before.

Apart from this, there were no other objects in the room.

The surrounding walls and ceilings are covered with murals, but the pictures are very simple, just a combination of some geometric patterns.

On one side of the wall was a spacious rectangular window, which was currently tightly closed, blocking out the sound of wind and rain outside.

The room was quiet.

"Captain Zhong, please take a seat." The large man politely invited Zhong Chenmu to a single chair. "Mr. Liang will be here shortly. Please have a drink of water first."

After saying that, he picked up a bottle of mineral water from the coffee table and handed it to Zhong Chenmu, then quietly left the room.

Not long after, a man walked into the house.

Zhong Chenmu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that he was wearing a neat grey suit and vest, a pair of thin-framed glasses, his hair was neatly parted, he had a well-proportioned figure and a gentle appearance, and he was estimated to be in his early thirties, looking younger than Guo Ling.

The man glanced at Zhong Chenmu, nodded slightly, and without saying anything, sat down on the single chair on the other side of the coffee table opposite him.

Then, he leaned back in the chair, placed his right hand naturally on the armrest, still without speaking, nor looking at Zhong Chenmu, but staring at the entrance of the room.

"Who is this person? Mr. Liang's secretary? Or assistant? He came here first? If Mr. Liang came here, he should sit on the bench..."

Zhong Chenmu did not respond rashly, but just thought in his heart.

After several minutes, there were finally footsteps at the door.

Zhong Chenmu held his breath, exerted a little force with his feet, and prepared to stand up to greet the person who was coming.

But unexpectedly, a waiter came in with tea.

"Master Liang, the tea is ready."

The waiter spoke respectfully to the young man.

Zhong Chenmu widened his eyes and looked across at himself again, just in time to meet the gaze from the pair of thin-framed glasses.

There was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Welcome to my place." The man finally said the first words after entering the house.
