Chapter 2020 Waiting
"What am I afraid of? At most, it will just be a tumor in my body!"

"Zuo Quan has a tumor but he's still alive and well!"

"Pei Jing just rebelled against the Allied Powers!"

"Zuo Quan and Zuo Luo are in decline right now. There is no way they would use a sick person like me to plot rebellion. I am incapable of committing treason!"

"Besides, this body is not just for me, so who knows who will be unlucky!"

The closer it got to the time of world travel, the more confused he became.

Zhang Xuezhou was not afraid of anyone harming him when he was conscious, but he was afraid that someone would take over his position and cause trouble when he was unconscious.

This is something Zhang Xuezhou has been guarding against for many years, but no matter how low-key he is, Zhang Xuezhou cannot prevent such a thing from happening.

No one can climb up without offending others, and will inevitably face conflicts of interest, making it difficult to remain unscathed.

"Hey, Commissioner Zuo, yes, yes, yes..."

When Zuo Quanxun called him, Zhang Xuezhou calmed down instead.

He responded very calmly, with one word after another coming out of his mouth.

Among the many preparations Zhang Xuezhou had made, the worst case was that he was discovered and then visited by Zuo Quan and others at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office for investigation. He would inevitably be required to prove himself and put on a show on the spot, and Zuo Quan would most likely inspect the Luo Yan Imperial Mausoleum and even use some means to conduct a strong inspection on him.

Secondly, Zuo Quan and others were secretly monitoring and investigating, while Zhang Xuezhou was cautiously on guard. They attacked and defended each other back and forth. It would be good if they were not discovered, but if they were discovered, they would inevitably confront each other, and there was no lack of psychological anxiety.

The worst thing was that in the current situation, Zuo Quan's reaction was too slow, and he didn't even notice something unusual until Zhang Xuezhou returned to Beirehe.

Listening to Zuo Quan's inquiries on the phone, Zhang Xuezhou was very sure that Zuo Quan had not noticed that he had been drawing luck from the Luo Yan Emperor's Mausoleum in the past two days, and had not even noticed that the original luster of the lucky gold necklace had faded and disappeared once.

“They should come to Beirehe next!”

Zhang Xuezhou picked up the gold necklace from his pocket.

The purple light of the lucky gold necklace that he had used to explore the tomb of Emperor Luo Yan had been completely consumed, but it was partially replenished by the Tongtian Jade Ruler, and it still looked somewhat purple.

"He can get close to Pei Jing without being noticed. Even Pei Jing's son Pei Ying doesn't know about it. Zuo Luo is very capable. An Ran may not be able to detect him. Only Professor Ren can find out clearly. I can't avoid suffering this time!"

What Zhang Xuezhou needs is not to be on guard once.

This time he asked someone to guard against Zuo Luo, it was impossible for him to guard against the opponent all the time.

Eliminating Zuo Luo and others might alleviate the problem temporarily, but if he fails to capture Huang Daoxian and exposes himself, he will undoubtedly be the loser in this game.

Zhang Xuezhou was mentally prepared, knowing that Zuo Luo and the others were not going to kill him but to use him, so he was not in a very bad mood.

"I have already met their requirements, so why do they insist on controlling me?"

Zhang Xuezhou also had some questions that were difficult to understand, but he didn't think too much about them. After all, when the next period of clarity came, he would most likely understand the intentions of Zuo Quan and others.

Driving a car, Zhang Xuezhou returned to Beirehe from Dongshan.

The several hours' drive made him return to the institute late.

All the lights in the research institute were on, and there were traces of fireworks and celebrations, but the only person missing was Zhang Xuezhou, the person being congratulated.

He stayed in the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum for two days. Except for Zhang Manqian, Ren Anran and others, it was a bit difficult for others to get the news.

There are too many people in Zhang Xuezhou's current address book, and each of them is very active. He has to click 500 times for each message from nearly 500 people. Except for replying to highlighted friends, Zhang Xuezhou did not take the initiative to reply to other people's messages, but just set an automatic reply.

When Zhang Xuezhou returned to the institute two days later, Zuo Denggao was the only one sitting in the living room with nothing to do.

"Brother Zhang, ha, Brother Zhang!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou pushing the door open, Zuo Denggao stood up quickly.

Zuo Denggao had a smile on his face, but his heart was aching.

He never thought that it would be so difficult to see Zhang Xuezhou even though they lived so close. Zhang Xuezhou was either not in the institute or stayed in the institute all day long. Zuo Denggao never saw Zhang Xuezhou idle.

In this situation, it became a luxury for him to chat, eat, play around, enhance friendship, or discuss catalysts with each other.

But Zuo Denggao just couldn't do without Zhang Xuezhou's help.

"Zhou Yueyan gave me some R32 catalysts. I still have some specimens left. You can take them for reference. She shared the data from her laboratory with me. You can copy them and see what needs to be corrected in your own laboratory and whether it is possible to do better. We need to trade R33 catalysts with others. The trading items are still under development and production. We will share them with you after success!"

Zuo Denggao was a key figure in Zhang Xuezhou's logistical resources. The other party took nearly a quarter of the Zuo family's wealth and was eliminated.

This huge amount of funds and assets is enough to support their catalyst research project. The only condition is that Zhang Xuezhou and others need to take Zuo Denggao with them when they climb up, so as to prevent the other party from only needing low-stage catalyst.

Zhang Xuezhou knew very well why Zuo Denggao came. He probably had a high defect rate during research and it was difficult to stabilize the research project.

"Here, this thing has a lucky effect. Wear it around your neck and maybe the success rate of your research institute will be higher!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the gold necklace which was of no use to himself after guiding his luck, and put it on Zuo Denggao instead.

"Brother Zhang, have you always been so generous?"

Thirty seconds after Zuo Denggao saw Zhang Xuezhou, there was a gold necklace around his neck.

A minute later, he had two qualified R32 catalyst samples in his hands, as well as relevant experimental information and data texts.

Before he could even speak in a roundabout way, Zuo Denggao had already got everything he needed, and even had a lucky necklace around his neck.

Zuo Denggao stretched out his hand and pinched it, only to find that the pure gold chain was slightly flattened by him, which made him quickly retract his hand in order to verify that it was genuine.

"Don't worry, we will win together through cooperation." Zhang Xuezhou patted Zuo Denggao on the shoulder and said, "There is no need to hide our current level. Let's all work hard to reach the sixth level first!"

"If you say so, then I'll follow suit and do something big!"

Zhang Xuezhou had no past personal grudges in his eyes. He was straightforward during the conversation and also stated the minimum goal directly.

Zuo Denggao thought about his own little thoughts, and then thought about the R33, R34 and other series of catalysts that were originally going to be involved in the conversation, and he quickly felt relieved.

"We only need to replicate other people's scientific research results. Research is secondary. You should let the researchers do these things and focus more on the sequence, so as not to fall behind us." Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "Zuo Teng and I will either die or rush upwards a little too fast. You must keep up!"

"Uh!"

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou mention the situation of either death or charge, Zuo Denggao couldn't help but shudder, thinking that Zhang Xuezhou and Zuo Teng were both crazy people who were competing for the sequence.

As a partner of the weak gene combination, Zuo Denggao felt that things would be really difficult if he performed too poorly.

"I will definitely work hard!"

Zuo Denggao made a solemn promise.

Not to mention that as a child of a wealthy family, Zuo Denggao has hardly ever had the desire to struggle in the past twenty years. He only showed some ruthlessness when his father Zuo Jin was beaten by Zuo Teng.

Now being urged by Zhang Xuezhou, Zuo Denggao felt ashamed. He had to run as fast as possible to catch up with Zhang Xuezhou and others.

Zuo Denggao waited idly for two days to kill time, but after seeing Zhang Xuezhou, he quickly returned to his research institute.

"Only you can handle this scoundrel!"

It was not until Zuo Denggao left the institute that Zhang Manqian complained to Zuo Denggao and walked out of the study, then locked the door of the institute.

"Is there any situation over at Dongshan?"

Ren Anran was concerned about Zhang Xuezhou's situation in Dongshan. If there was no absolute necessity, Zhang Xuezhou would obviously not stay in Dongshan for two days.

"It's just a small matter, it shouldn't be a problem," Zhang Xuezhou said, "If you have the ability to stay awake, help me see what's going on!"

Zhang Xuezhou touched the mark planted in his body.

In his perception, Zuo Quan had left Xijing City and was heading towards Beirehe.
