72: To make amends, visit the Lou family as a mysterious organization
"Red Queen, based on the current layout of the Trading Hall, generate a three-month span of transaction video footage. In these videos, I want to appear as I did when I first transmigrated and was reborn, including video clips of me frequently purchasing various books during that period. At the same time, there should also be transaction scenes showing my appearance after my second injection of Super Gene Potion, such as the transaction video from last week where I bought cosmetics in the Trading Hall with that appearance. Pay close attention to the accuracy and continuity of time details to ensure the entire video footage is flawless and can withstand any scrutiny."
Long Feiyang spoke in an orderly manner, skillfully changing his appearance accordingly, and meticulously explained each time node and key information to Red Queen, his eyes revealing focus and meticulousness.
Red Queen quickly responded: "Understood, Master. The relevant transaction videos have been produced according to your requirements."
Once everything was arranged, Long Feiyang took a deep breath, changed back to his previous life's appearance, and then put on a black outfit.
He concealed his figure, like a ghost, and sped towards the Lou Family's direction.
--- Inside the Lou Family, Lou Zhenhua's mood was exceptionally pleasant at this moment, as if the gloom that had long shrouded his heart had finally dissipated.
The identity issue that had troubled the Lou Family for a long time now had a chance to be completely resolved due to the appearance of the "Encyclopedia of Medicine," which allowed his long-tense nerves to finally relax considerably, and a relaxed smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Xiao'e, in the future, if Long Feiyang has any needs, as long as they are not too excessive, we should try our best to satisfy him. After all, he has been kind to our Lou Family."
Lou Zhenhua turned his head, looked at his daughter standing by his side, and said earnestly, his eyes full of gratification.
"Dad, don't worry. Zhuzi and Long Feiyang have a very good relationship, just like brothers. And you don't know, Long Feiyang's cooking skills are truly exceptional. The dishes he made at the last dinner party, I'm still savoring them now. The taste was simply amazing!"
Lou Xiaoe recalled the delicious food she had tasted at that dinner party, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, her eyes full of lingering taste, as if the aroma of those delicacies still lingered at the tip of her nose.
Listening to his daughter's words and thinking about her impending marriage to He Yuzhu, a complex emotion arose in Lou Zhenhua's heart.
There was both worry for his daughter's future life, concerned that she would encounter various difficulties and setbacks after marriage.
There was also the reluctance of giving his daughter away in marriage. This bond of father-daughter affection made his heart ache slightly, and his eyes became a little moist.
Tan Yali sat quietly to the side, observing the expressions of the father and daughter, understanding their respective thoughts.
It was undoubtedly a good thing that her daughter and He Yuzhu were in love and would eventually become husband and wife, and she naturally felt relieved.
"Bang bang bang"
A sudden knock on the door abruptly broke the calm and peaceful atmosphere that had filled the room.
The three members of the Lou Family exchanged glances, all a little confused. At this time, who would be visiting?
Tan Yali slowly rose, tidied her clothes, and then slowly walked towards the door.
She gently opened the door and saw a strange young man in black standing quietly outside.
"Comrade, may I ask who you are looking for?"
Tan Yali scrutinized the stranger before her, her eyes full of confusion.
She was certain she had never seen this person before and, guessing, thought he might be there to discuss something with Lou Zhenhua or Lou Xiaoe.
"I am a member of the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary. I have come to your residence today because a guest has, without authorization, transferred books purchased from our Sanctuary to your Lou Family. We need to investigate this situation to ensure that the use of these books complies with our Sanctuary's regulations and original intent."
Long Feiyang's expression was serious, and he stated his purpose formally, his eyes revealing an unquestionable authority.
"Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary?"
Tan Yali softly repeated the unfamiliar name, her vigilance instantly rising.
She had lived in Sijiucheng / Beijing for so many years and was well-informed, but she had never heard of such an organization, which made her feel faintly uneasy, and a sense of inexplicable crisis welled up in her heart.
"What books?"
At this moment, Lou Zhenhua and Lou Xiaoe, who had heard the conversation from inside, also cautiously came to the door. Lou Zhenhua frowned, asking with a face full of confusion.
"It's the "Encyclopedia of Medicine," a complete set of one hundred and twenty volumes, and also "Cuisine," "Makeup," "Clothing," "Animals," "Plants," "Insects," and other encyclopedias, a total of six volumes. Mr. Long Feiyang is our Sanctuary's first guest, and his unauthorized transfer of these books has violated our Sanctuary's regulations. We are merely here to investigate the use of these books in your hands and bear no ill will. May I come in for a detailed discussion?"
Long Feiyang looked at them with resolute eyes, his words sincere, trying to make them lower their guard.
The three members of the Lou Family heard this and all showed expressions of surprise and doubt.
They never expected that these precious books provided by Long Feiyang were actually purchased from this so-called Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary.
This sudden situation forced them to raise their guard, and they secretly pondered countermeasures.
Lou Zhenhua secretly weighed the pros and cons, thinking that those books were indeed very significant, and if his concealment led to unnecessary trouble, it would be a huge loss.
So, he slightly turned his body, made a "please" gesture, and politely invited Long Feiyang into the Lou Family's home.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the Lou Family's living room became heavy, as if the air had become thin and oppressive, and everyone's heart harbored their own thoughts and doubts.
"Mr. Lou, how do you plan to use those books?"
Long Feiyang sat on the sofa, leaning slightly forward, getting straight to the point, his eyes fixed on Lou Zhenhua, not missing any expression on his face, trying to glean more information from his subtle reactions.
"I handed over the "Encyclopedia of Medicine."
Lou Zhenhua paused briefly. Although he wasn't sure if what the person in front of him was saying was true or false.
But in this situation, he felt it was better to tell the truth, so he did not hide anything and answered directly.
Long Feiyang first feigned an expression of surprise, which instantly caught the attention of the Lou Family.
A moment later, the muscles on his face gradually relaxed, and his expression softened, as if he had just recovered some calm from the shock.
"In principle, our Sanctuary supports your act of handing over the books. After all, this can also be considered a form of respect for knowledge and its proper use."
Long Feiyang paused slightly, his gaze lingering on Lou Zhenhua's face for a moment, then he seemingly casually threw out a question.
"However, have you never worried about entrusting it to the wrong person?"
"What do you mean?"
As soon as Lou Zhenhua heard this, he immediately became alert. His gaze was like two sharp swords, tightly fixed on Long Feiyang, his tone full of wariness, like a protective beast raising its fur the moment it sensed danger.
Tan Yali and Lou Xiaoe, standing nearby, also looked tense. They subconsciously moved closer to Lou Zhenhua, their eyes revealing uneasiness, like two startled fawns cautiously observing the surrounding movements.
"If the person responsible for the handover had malicious intentions, for example, privately withholding these precious books, or using the knowledge within to seek personal gain, or even leaking this knowledge to ill-intentioned people, could your Lou Family bear the consequences?"
Long Feiyang unhurriedly posed a hypothetical question, his gaze like a searchlight sweeping across the faces of the Lou Family one by one, trying to capture the slightest trace of their true thoughts from their expressions.
"No, Elder Wang is the senior I respect most. He is highly virtuous and will never do such a thing."
Lou Zhenhua shook his head without hesitation, his tone very firm, his eyes revealing deep trust in Elder Wang, as if in his heart, Elder Wang was an unshakeable moral monument, beyond doubt.
"Then did you tell him the source of the books? For example, did you reveal information about Mr. Long Feiyang to him?"
Long Feiyang deliberately put on a stern face, his expression as serious as winter frost, and his voice became low and powerful, making people feel an invisible pressure.
"No. I know this matter is very important, so I did not mention it to Elder Wang at all. If any trouble arises because of this, our Lou Family will bear all consequences and will never shirk responsibility."
Lou Zhenhua answered decisively, his eyes showing a firm resolve, as if declaring the Lou Family's responsibility and determination to Long Feiyang.
Hearing this, Long Feiyang again feigned surprise, his eyes slightly widened, his mouth slightly open, and then he let his expression soften, returning to his previous calm.
"Mr. Lou, you have temporarily passed our Sanctuary's test. Our Sanctuary will trust you for now. However, to ensure the safety of these books and the confidentiality of related information, please sign this confidentiality agreement now."
As Long Feiyang spoke, he quickly custom-ordered a confidentiality agreement from the Super Factory and also purchased a fountain pen from the virtual mall.
To the astonished gazes of the Lou Family, the agreement and fountain pen appeared out of thin air in his hand as if by magic.
He gently placed them on the table and then slowly pushed them towards Lou Zhenhua. The entire process was as natural as flowing clouds and water, yet it left the Lou Family incredibly shocked and incredulous.
Lou Zhenhua, Tan Yali, and Lou Xiaoe, seeing the agreement and fountain pen appear out of thin air like that, were instantly shocked, their eyes wide and mouths unconsciously agape, faces full of disbelief.
Their eyes were filled with fear and curiosity about unknown powers, as if they had witnessed a magical sight from another world.
After the shock, Lou Zhenhua became even more wary of this mysterious person, secretly wondering what methods and background the other party possessed.
Various conjectures and questions kept surfacing in his mind, but he could never find a reasonable answer.
However, after much deliberation, Lou Zhenhua slowly reached out and picked up the agreement.
He carefully read it and found that the confidentiality clauses listed were very detailed, covering all aspects from the content of the books to information about Long Feiyang, without missing any detail.
Only then did he pick up the fountain pen and sign his name stroke by stroke, each stroke seemingly carrying his promise and responsibility for the Lou Family's future.
