The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Zhang Yuze was stunned upon hearing this, his gaze fixed deeply on Ling Wei's face as he asked her, "What do you mean by that?"

Before Ling Wei could speak, dozens of people suddenly emerged around Zhang Yuze.

This was an open space, and it must have been difficult for them to find such a place in the mountainous area of Hailong.

Lian Sheng, Wang Yaokun, Liang Ye, Lan Ruo, and dozens of National Security Internal Guard personnel in white, holding guns, stood motionless, staring at Zhang Yuze with blank expressions.

Zhang Yuze's face instantly darkened. He looked at Ling Wei beside him, then at Lian Sheng and Lan Ruo in front of him. Suddenly, he laughed and jokingly said, "Looks like I've stumbled into a Hongmen Banquet today?"

Lian Sheng, the Director of the Nanmin Branch of the National Security Department, said, "Zhang Yuze, we've come to find you today because we have something we want to ask you. We hope you can cooperate."

Zhang Yuze looked around at the dozens of rifles, their dark muzzles all pointed at him. He suddenly laughed and said, "Excuse me, is this what you call 'asking'? Then I, Zhang Yuze, am truly flattered."

Upon hearing this, Lian Sheng waved his hand at the surrounding National Security Internal Guard personnel. Seeing this, they immediately put away their guns. Their movements were uniform, obviously the result of countless training sessions.

Zhang Yuze nodded and said to Lian Sheng in front of him, "Alright, ask away. If I know, I'll try my best to tell you."

Lian Sheng took a deep look at Zhang Yuze, his expression darkening as he said, "I want to ask you, what is your relationship with the Fallen God?"

Zhang Yuze was originally pondering Lian Sheng's purpose in bringing him here, but when he heard Lian Sheng's first question, he was surprised. He shook his head and said to Lian Sheng, "I don't know what you mean. The Fallen God is my idol. I'd love to have some kind of relationship with him, but unfortunately, I'm just an ordinary mortal, and I have nothing to do with him."

"Hmph! Hmph! I'm afraid that's not entirely true, is it?" Lian Sheng looked at Zhang Yuze with a smile that wasn't a smile, with a hint of disdain.

"Oh! How do you mean that, Director Lian? I'm a little confused," Zhang Yuze said, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at Lian Sheng.

Before Lian Sheng could speak, Lan Ruo, who had been calm and collected, suddenly asked Zhang Yuze, "Mr. Zhang, if you have nothing to do with the Fallen God, why did he suddenly appear to help you during the conflict between the Six Factions?"

Zhang Yuze was stunned upon hearing this, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. Although the Fallen God did appear that day, we only heard his voice and didn't see him. I can't guarantee it was really him. So I can't answer your question." After a pause, Zhang Yuze took a deep breath and said to the people around him, "Even if it was really him who appeared that day, it doesn't mean I necessarily know him. So please don't waste your time on me. It will only be futile."

Upon hearing this, Lian Sheng's face darkened. He "hmph"-ed at Zhang Yuze and said, "You still dare to quibble! There is no cause without a reason in this world, and no effect without a cause. If you really have nothing to do with him, why would he help you?"
