Lu Qingtang looked at Lu Wensheng's confused and uneasy face and smiled slightly. "How could a man who had the courage to risk his life in the middle of the night to rescue a strange girl from among a pile of corpses be willing to dirty his hands for a sinister and vicious villain?"

Lu Wensheng shuddered, and a hint of something flickered in his eyes, as calm as a dry well. "But they all said...I did a lot of things wrong...all wrong..."

Lu Qingtang's eyes were dark as he spoke word by word, "Because they are the bad guys."

"What bad people love most is to unite and suppress and bully those who are braver and kinder than them, watching them suffer, feel sad, struggle, deny themselves, doubt themselves... and ultimately fall into destruction."

"After completely destroying a person, they will party together to celebrate that they have added another layer of fun to their own filthy and rotten lives."

Lu Wensheng blinked very slowly, "They are bad guys, it's not my fault..."

Lu Qingtang walked over, gently touched Lu Wensheng's face, and said firmly, "Yes, Miss Lu Wensheng, you are fine."

"You are kind, strong, beautiful, and brave... You are the treasure that our motherland loves most and that she wants to protect the most."

"Isn't it, Star?"

Xingxing, who was squatting nearby, wagged his tail and woofed, then rubbed Lu Wensheng's legs affectionately to show his support for Lu Qingtang's words.

A hint of shock flashed across Lu Wensheng's lonely eyes.

She looked at the girl opposite her.

They look so much alike.

Standing together in the same clothes is like looking in a mirror.

The difference is that her eyes are dull and withered, while hers are bright and lively, and she looks like a girl who was brought up in pampering.

If she had a normal family, with loved ones to protect her, she would have been like this...

Lu Qingtang was also looking at her and said with a smile, "Well...if we are really related by blood, then I must be your elder."

"Because I'm so beautiful, you can be born so beautiful. You're lucky..."

Lu Wensheng was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you..."

Lu Qingtang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening. He clutched his stomach and screamed, "Hungry, hungry, hungry! I haven't eaten in two days. No wonder I'm so weak today and I couldn't beat those bastards to death..."

Lu Wensheng looked at her lively appearance and laughed, "You take a rest, I'll go cook."

She turned and walked out.

The moment he reached the door, Lu Wensheng looked up at the sunlight outside, and suddenly... his eyes turned red.

-

An hour later, Lu Qingtang was full and sat cross-legged on the bed. "Miss Lu Wensheng, I have something to tell you."

Lu Wensheng was worried that she would eat too much and fill herself up, so he made her a cup of hawthorn tea, then took a small stool and sat in front of Lu Qingtang.

Lu Qingtang held the teacup, took a sip, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and waved at the little dog sleeping in its nest, "Xingxing, regarding the great affairs of our motherland, all Chinese species have a responsibility. Come and listen too."

Xingxing ran to Lu Wensheng with his tail wagging, squatted beside him, and looked at Lu Qingtang with wide eyes.

Lu Qingtang looked at the man and the dog across from him, put down the water cup in his hand, and his expression became serious. "Miss Lu Wensheng, what I am about to say is of great importance. Only you, me, and Xingxing know about it."

Lu Wensheng was probably mentally prepared for this. His expression was calm as he shook his head. "If possible, I hope you don't tell me."

"I'm just an ordinary person. Knowing too much will not benefit you or me."

Many people have secrets, but only the truly powerful can keep them.

Lu Qingtang sighed. If possible, she didn't want to involve Lu Wensheng.

But the current situation is no longer up to her.

Lu Wensheng had already seen it.

And she was the only witness.

Lu Qingtang looked at Lu Wensheng and said slowly and seriously, "My name is Lu Qingtang, I'm 23 years old, from H country, and I've lived abroad most of the time."

"Three days ago, I intercepted a message on a dark web abroad."

"Country M spent tens of billions of dollars to hire a terrorist organization that spans the globe..." Lu Qingtang's eyes flickered with something, and after a pause, he continued, "They stole something from the H Country Research Institute."

"I stole that thing and was chased on the way to Country H. In the critical moment, I injected that thing into my body..."

"What happened next is what you see."

Lu Wensheng widened his eyes slightly.

Lu Qingtang looked at her soft, pale, and peaceful face, and his tone softened. "Ms. Lu Wensheng, do you know what the consequences will be if this news gets out?"

Lu Wensheng is obviously an extremely intelligent person.

The moment Lu Qingtang finished saying this, a certain ripple appeared in her somewhat empty eyes.

Lu Qingtang looked into her eyes and said slowly, "Once word gets out that Country H's research institute has something that can make people 'rejuvenate,' the attention of all countries in the world will immediately turn to Country H."

"The world's powerful and capitalists will fight for it at all costs."

"Throughout human history, the root cause of conflict has always been the struggle for economic interests and resources."

"If you add the huge temptation of 'rejuvenation' to the mix, then the outbreak of war is 100% certain."

"Country H, which has enjoyed peace for less than a hundred years, will become the world's primary target in this accident."

"Humanity may also fall into a new round of turmoil because of this..."

Lu Qingtang extended his hand towards Lu Wensheng and asked sincerely, "To prevent this from happening, Miss Lu Wensheng, are you willing to help me keep this secret?"

"Until I find the genius researcher who developed this potion and have her restore me to normal, would you be willing to lend me your identity so that I can share the name 'Lu Wensheng' with you?"

"In exchange, during this period, I will ensure your safety and help you resolve any crises and troubles that may arise."

Lu Wensheng raised his hand and shook hers, "I do."

Lu Qingtang, “???!”

She agreed so easily?

Don't you need to be shocked, curious, question, or consider the consequences?!

Lu Wensheng looked at her bewildered expression and expressed even more doubts than she did, "You are my elder. I can't watch my elder get into trouble..."

Lu Qingtang, “…”

Lu Wensheng looked at her somewhat autistic expression, laughed, and said softly, "Qingtang, you don't need to say so much, and I won't think so much."

"All I know is that I don't want to see anything happen to you."

"It's not just me. As long as you don't meet someone like Lu Erya, there will be many, many people in this country who are willing to help you."
