76: Lou Xiao'e questioned and deliberately revealed her false identity to lead the police
Long Feiyang knew in his heart that Lou Xiaoe was referring to the two comprehensive books.
But he still feigned a look of innocent bewilderment, wide-eyed, and retorted, "When did I ever lie to you?"
"Still saying you didn't lie? Where did those books really come from?"
Lou Xiaoe stared intently at Long Feiyang, her gaze full of questioning, sharp and firm, as if she wanted to see through him, to penetrate the secrets of his heart.
Long Feiyang knew that this matter could not be overheard by others, so he turned and walked into the house, his steps slightly hurried.
He lowered his head slightly, a hint of nervousness appearing on his face, seemingly trying to cover something up, deliberately putting on a guilty act, trying to make Lou Xiaoe even more convinced that he was hiding something.
"Those are family heirlooms. If I didn't think you were beautiful and kind-hearted, why would I trade with you? I even gave you three books."
As Long Feiyang spoke, he secretly observed Lou Xiaoe's reaction from the corner of his eye.
"You hateful Long Feiyang, your secret is out, I know everything now, and you still want to keep lying to me? You bought those books, didn't you? I'm going to tell Sha Zhu that you bullied me."
Lou Xiaoe stood with her hands on her hips, her face full of anger, chasing Long Feiyang into the Lou Family.
She tried to make Long Feiyang afraid, with a hint of triumph on her face, as if she felt she had gained the upper hand and victory was within her grasp.
In reality, ever since learning about the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary, the air of mystery Long Feiyang had cultivated before had been shattered. Everyone now believed he was merely leveraging the mysterious power of the Sanctuary, and their attitude towards him had subtly changed.
Long Feiyang's expression instantly changed, becoming extremely serious, his eyes fixed on Lou Xiaoe, as if he had become a different person.
He demanded, "How did you know?"
To enhance his deterrent power and make his performance more convincing, he unhesitatingly released some Superpower energy.
Instantly, a terrifying energy pressure enveloped Lou Xiaoe, and the air seemed to become heavy.
Lou Xiaoe was hit by this powerful energy pressure, her face instantly turning pale, devoid of color.
Her gaze towards Long Feiyang was filled with fear, and her body involuntarily trembled slightly, her feet seemingly nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.
Only at this moment did she truly realize that Long Feiyang was far from as simple as he appeared on the surface. Behind him, there were likely unfathomable secrets, similar to those of the mysterious members of the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary, and she seemed to have touched a dangerous domain.
Lou Xiaoe suppressed the inexplicable fear in her heart and quickly began to explain, her voice trembling slightly, fearing that a moment's delay would lead to Long Feiyang's retaliation.
"My... my dad has become the temporary spokesperson for the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary."
"Oh? Temporary? Interesting. Just a spokesperson, and a temporary one at that, this carries great risks."
Long Feiyang feigned surprise, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a subtle smile, then smiled mysteriously, and quickly reverted to his harmless demeanor.
"Since you're considered a temporary insider, you should have made it clear earlier. See, now there's a misunderstanding. My apologies."
Long Feiyang withdrew his Superpower energy, and the pressure dissipated. He then apologized without sincerity, a hint of undetectable cunning in his eyes.
Without the pressure, Lou Xiaoe slowly recovered, looking at Long Feiyang with lingering fear, yet feeling that his words held a hidden meaning, subtly tinged with mockery, and couldn't help but speculate.
Great risks? What kind of risks? Could the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary be hiding some unspeakable secret?
"Long... Long Feiyang, what do you mean by that?"
Lou Xiaoe asked, her eyes full of doubt and unease, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Lou Xiaoe, it's fine to tell you. However, since that person made your dad a temporary spokesperson, he must have mentioned me, right?"
Long Feiyang retorted unhurriedly, his arms crossed over his chest, appearing confident, as if he knew everything.
Lou Xiaoe recovered, staring at Long Feiyang with a nervous expression.
"That person said you're a bit lazy and unwilling to take responsibility. Irresponsible."
In fact, the latter phrase, "irresponsible," was something she added on her own, her words carrying a hint of dissatisfaction towards Long Feiyang.
Hearing this, Long Feiyang deliberately scowled and quickly retorted.
"Nonsense, how am I irresponsible? Haven't you seen how responsible I am to my family? How happy are my wife and daughter?"
His tone carried a hint of eagerness and anger, as if he felt greatly wronged by Lou Xiaoe's words, and his voice rose a few octaves.
Lou Xiaoe suddenly found it somewhat amusing, and felt that Long Feiyang was still as harmless as before. The scene of being hit by the pressure just now seemed like a brief illusion, and the fear in her heart also dissipated somewhat.
Lou Xiaoe repeated, "But that person did say you're a bit lazy and unwilling to take responsibility."
Long Feiyang rolled his eyes helplessly, and with a slightly weary expression, began to explain.
"Sure enough, I've never heard a good word about me from that person. Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. Becoming a temporary spokesperson for the Sanctuary is both a test and comes with no small risks; you will inevitably be investigated by the higher-ups. Even if it's just a simple act of allegiance, you still have to bear the corresponding risks. Think about it, money, power, these things too easily make people lose their minds. If someone at the top has ill intentions and betrays their vows for personal gain, then the Lou Family will be the first to bear the brunt, and will inevitably become the target. This is why I was unwilling to be a spokesperson in the first place; the risks are simply too great. If you encounter the wrong person, the consequences are simply unimaginable."
Long Feiyang had always wanted to find a trustworthy spokesperson and trader, which was actually to transfer the potential risks he might face, but he wasn't completely hands-off, letting things develop on their own.
Since he chose the Lou Family and let Lou Zhenhua take on the role of spokesperson, he certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch the Lou Family get into trouble. On this point, he still had his own sense of responsibility and considerations.
However, on the other hand, if something really happened and the Lou Family was targeted by bad people, they might be forced to leave this country due to some organizational reasons and seek other places of refuge.
But Long Feiyang had already made up his mind that no matter how great the future risks, he would ensure the safety of the Lou Family. This was his promise to the Lou Family, and it was also his principle as a person.
Lou Xiaoe was instantly stunned. As she delved deeper into Long Feiyang's words, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, her face filled with worry, even her eyes revealing a hint of panic and unease, and she quickly pressed for answers.
"Then what about my family? Can my dad revoke his temporary spokesperson status?"
Long Feiyang gently shook his head, looking at Lou Xiaoe's flustered appearance, and offered comfort.
"Since that person has already signed a contract with your dad, it's impossible to just withdraw casually. You might not be clear about the intricacies and rules involved, but that's the reality. However, rest assured, the Sanctuary will not sit idly by if something happens to the Lou Family. If anyone dares to harm the Lou Family for personal gain, the organization will not let it go easily and will definitely take appropriate measures to protect the Lou Family's safety and interests. You can be completely at ease on this point."
After hearing these words, Lou Xiaoe felt a little more at ease, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something important, her eyes widened, and she asked with a surprised expression, "How do you know so much?"
She was very puzzled. In her understanding, Long Feiyang's identity was merely an ordinary client of the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary, so how could he know so much inside information?
And why was he so certain that the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary would go to great lengths to protect the Lou Family?
This series of questions constantly swirled in her mind, making her feel even more that Long Feiyang was a person full of mystery.
Long Feiyang chuckled mysteriously, his smile seemingly hiding many unknown secrets.
"Your dad is a temporary spokesperson, which means a temporary client. And I am the Sanctuary's only official client, a higher level than your dad. So it's very reasonable that I know more, right?"
Lou Xiaoe couldn't help but show surprise. She never expected that Long Feiyang would have such a high client status in the Sanctuary, which truly surprised and shocked her.
Lou Xiaoe's curiosity was completely piqued, and she couldn't resist continuing to ask.
"Then how can one become an official client? Also, can you buy more advanced goods?"
She was full of curiosity about the higher-level goods mentioned by that person before leaving. Her curious heart was like a cat's paw scratching, especially wanting to know what kind of treasures would be called higher-level goods. This curiosity and desire almost occupied her entire mind.
