After returning home, Zhang Zheng locked himself in his room.
He couldn't help it; the three angel girls had once again presented him with an overwhelming temptation. Zhang Zheng simply couldn't resist it any longer.
In the living room, the three angel girls, seeing Zhang Zheng run back to his room, all put away their teasing expressions.
"Sister Yan, isn't it a bit too much for us to tease Zhi Xin's god like this?" Angel Zhui asked, a little worried.
She still didn't quite understand why Sister Yan was doing this, and she felt somewhat guilty towards Zhi Xin.
"Yeah, Sister Yan. Besides, if we keep tempting him like this, what if he really loses control? The three of us aren't his match," Angel Moi said, her voice filled with concern.
Moi was indeed worried. Yan had only told them to tease Zhang Zheng, but she hadn't explained the reason behind it. Moi felt she was at a big disadvantage these past few days, giving away benefits like this. Every day, she had to make sure she didn't accidentally expose herself, and it was all for Zhi Xin's god to see. Moi was having a hard time accepting it, but she reluctantly did it because it was Yan's request.
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare," Angel Yan said.
Thinking of Queen Kaisa's mission, Yan also felt it was a bit unreliable. But since her queen and teacher were unhappy, Yan had no choice but to go along with it, despite her reluctance. With that in mind, Angel Yan leaned back on the sofa, her cute face full of helplessness.
…
At the Giant Gorge.
"General, the situation has been investigated thoroughly. The conflict occurred because Zhang Zheng was out with three girls, and they were harassed by two hooligans," Lian Feng said with a smile.
Lian Feng found it amusing. A dignified god got into a confrontation with hooligans because his female companions were being harassed. In her over ten thousand years of life, this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.
Pfft! As he was drinking water, Du Kao couldn't help but spit it out upon hearing the absurd reason.
"What a melodramatic plot; this should belong in a trashy romance drama," Du Kao thought to himself.
"Sergeant Lian Feng, have you found out the identities of the three girls?" Du Kao asked.
In his records, Zhang Zheng didn't seem to have any female friends. Actually, he barely had any male friends either, except for Captain Liu, who had already moved to the Northern Star. So, Du Kao was very curious about the sudden appearance of these three female companions by Zhang Zheng's side, which is why he asked Lian Feng to investigate.
"It's confirmed that one of them is Angel Yan, who descended upon Angel International Tower last time. The other two are also presumed to be angels, but our Earth technology is currently unable to identify their exact identities," Lian Feng said seriously.
She also didn't understand why the angels were staying at Zhang Zheng's home, so she didn't say much more and just reported the information she had to Du Kao.
Seeing Lian Feng's serious expression, Du Kao couldn't help but think about the situation reported by Rena and dismissed it. He said, "Don't worry, Lian Feng. I can guess a few things. A few days ago, Rena reported that Zhang Zheng found a wife in Angel City. Given that Zhang Zheng mentioned that Morgana could come to Earth at any time, it's not hard to understand why the angels are at his place."
"After all, Zhang Zheng is currently an ally of the angels. It's only natural for them to seek refuge at his place to avoid Morgana, who could descend at any moment."
If Zhang Zheng were here to hear Du Kao's analysis, he would be thoroughly impressed. Based on the accidental bits of information he and Rena revealed, Du Kao had managed to piece together the situation with remarkable accuracy. Zhang Zheng could only marvel at his skill.
Lian Feng listened to Du Kao's analysis and couldn't help but look at him with admiration. At that moment, she resembled a young girl meeting her idol.
Lian Feng had followed Du Kao for over ten thousand years and had participated in the war of the Denon civilization. Whenever she recalled Du Kao's strategic brilliance, her face would always flush with a mysterious blush.
Seeing Lian Feng's blushing face, Du Kao felt a bit exasperated. After all these years, every time they had a meeting, Lian Feng would always show this expression. He had been misunderstood so many times because of it that he had lost count. Many times, his colleagues would give him suggestive looks, and his daughter, Rose, would roll her eyes at him.
If Lian Feng really liked him, Du Kao would accept it, but he knew very well that Lian Feng only admired him; as for any romantic feelings, sorry, there were none.
"Lian Feng, contact Zhang Zheng and ask him to arrange a meeting between me and Angel Yan. I want to confirm the angels' stance towards Earth," Du Kao suddenly said.
"Uh, yes, General." Lian Feng, interrupted from her thoughts, was momentarily stunned before responding.
"Alright, you can go now." Seeing that Lian Feng had understood, Du Kao dismissed her, not wanting to prolong the situation and face his comrades' suggestive glances again.
"Yes, General." Lian Feng saluted and then turned to leave. As she exited, she didn't forget to close the door behind her.
Watching Lian Feng's graceful figure as she left, Du Kao checked his watch. Three minutes should be enough to avoid any more misunderstandings, right?
Unaware of Du Kao's inner thoughts, Lian Feng left his office and headed straight to her desk, where she picked up the phone and called Zhang Zheng.
…
At Zhang Zheng's home.
Having successfully avoided the temptation of the three angel girls, Zhang Zheng intended to continue absorbing Thanos's memories. However, Lian Feng's phone call disrupted his plans.
"Sergeant Lian Feng, is there something you need?" Zhang Zheng asked as he picked up the phone, reluctantly answering when he saw it was Lian Feng calling.
Zhang Zheng had to show respect to this capable young woman; after all, he owed Lian Feng a small favor.
"Mr. Zhang, General Du Kao would like to meet with the angels staying at your home to understand their stance towards Earth. Could you help arrange that?" Lian Feng said.
Hearing Lian Feng's request, Zhang Zheng was momentarily taken aback. As far as he knew, no one besides him was aware that the angels were staying at his place.
Of course, what Zhang Zheng didn't know was that the angels' presence had been uncovered due to Du Kao's curiosity, a rather melodramatic twist, but that's the reality.
Unable to figure it out, Zhang Zheng decided not to dwell on it, as was his usual approach to life. He wasn't particularly curious about how Du Kao found out.
"That's not a problem. I can ask them for you, but considering the angels' pride, I doubt they'll want to meet General Du Kao."
"Although Du Kao is currently Earth's general, he's still just an ordinary person," Zhang Zheng said over the phone.
This wasn't just Zhang Zheng making wild guesses. It was evident from the original story that it was Rena, not Du Kao, who negotiated with the angels.
Lian Feng didn't know what to say. After all, being looked down upon would make anyone feel upset. But with their strength and power far inferior to the angels', there was nothing Du Kao could do but endure it.
"Then, Mr. Zhang, please help arrange it. If it's really not possible, I'll report back to General Du Kao," Lian Feng's somewhat displeased voice came through the phone.
"Alright, I'll do my best," Zhang Zheng said before hanging up the phone.
As for Du Kao wanting to negotiate with the angels without consulting him first, Zhang Zheng couldn't care less. Zhang Zheng knew that the only people on Earth qualified to negotiate with the angels were himself, Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and Rena, the captain of the Xiongbing Company.
As for Du Kao, sorry, the angels would only say, "Communication complete."
