951 Runge Said: Let’s Have a Talk

Runge came even faster than Lu Jingye expected. When Justin learned the news of his arrival and informed Lu Jingye about this, Runge’s call had already arrived.

Runge said to Lu Jingye over the phone, “Let’s have a talk.”

Lu Jingye only considered for two seconds before he personally went out to fetch Runge.

When both the men walked back into the winery, Zi Yi was standing at the door waiting for them.

Runge gave Zi Yi a brief nod. His expression was still as cold as usual.

Similarly, Zi Yi returned his brief nod with one of her own, but she suddenly then asked, “Have you eaten?”

Runge was stunned and subconsciously responded. “Not yet.”

Zi Yi turned around and said, “It just so happens that we are going to have a meal. Come on in.”

Runge walked in together with Lu Jingye with a taut expression.

Lunch was filled with Chinese dishes. Runge had some difficulty with the chopsticks, so he ended up eating with a spoon.

With the aura he had developed after staying in the military for a long time and coupled with the spoon in his hand, Dou Xiangling and Dou Zerui who were on alert against him could not help but take several peeks in his direction.

In fact, Runge knew that they were sneaking glances at him. However, there was no change in his expression, and neither did he speak. He merely held the spoon in a serious manner and ate.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye did not have the intention to speak either. Lu Jingye would occasionally grab some food for Zi Yi or perhaps scoop a bowl of soup for her.

That type of intimacy was simply a silent display of affection.

The atmosphere at the dining table was a little weird.

After lunch, Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling left.

After walking out of the house, Dou Zerui patted his chest and asked Dou Xiangling, “Sis, do you feel that Major General Runge is a little weird?”

“What’s weird about him?” Dou Xiangling said, “I feel that the aura Major General Runge gives off is so strong that I felt a little restrained when I was eating.”

“I don’t mean that… don’t you girls have strong sixth senses? Why didn’t you feel anything?”

“What should I have felt?”

“It’s… urgh! Forget it… Say, what do you think Major General Runge meant by coming in alone? Could it be that he’s intending to persuade Little Lu and get him to leave with him willingly?”

“Do you think that’s possible?” Did he just base it on Runge’s cold, expressionless face that made him unable to even manage to squeeze out a single word?

“It’s precisely because I think that it’s impossible, that’s why I’m curious. Could it be that Major General Runge is on Little Lu’s side and he’s here to help him?”

…

When there were only three people remaining in the living room, Runge cut to the chase. “My previous proposal still stands. As long as you cooperate with me, I will help you resolve your current difficulties.”

Zi Yi could not help but sneer. “Runge, aren’t you being too confident? Right now, Ah Jing is facing the combined anger from the whole of Europe. How do you think you can help? Can you convince everyone else?”

Runge furrowed his eyebrows and he stared sharply at Zi Yi. “I believe that Lu Jingye was not behind this virus. Instead, someone is trying to set him up. If my guess is right, it should be those disgusting bugs that are behind this.”

Runge had encountered the worm race twice. Now that he was bringing them up, it was as though he was talking about normal terrorists. “The ultimate goal of those worms is to deal with you, am I right?”

“That’s right.” Zi Yi did not deny it either. “Even if you know the truth; so what? The current situation is that the virus is rapidly spreading around the whole of Europe. It may not be long before the situation in Europe ends up similar to those movies where zombies occupy the whole area.”

Runge’s expression turned colder at her words. However, his gaze was even more determined. “I trust that you have a way to control this virus.”

Having said that, he asked, “What do you need me to do?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingye.

He was currently looking at her.

Both of them made eye contact and Lu Jingye gave her a nod.

Only then did Zi Yi speak out. “I need some things from the polar ice meteorite belt. Can you help me get them?”

“Yes.” Runge did not even think about it and responded. “If I manage to get what you want, we will cooperate.”

Lu Jingye said, “Deal.”

Runge looked at him for a second and took out his phone to make a call. After the other party answered, he directly said what he needed, “Launch the rocket immediately… this is an order.”

With that, he hung up the call and said to them, “This will require some time.”

Both of them nodded their heads.

Lu Jingye said, “Yiyi still requires some materials on Earth. It just so happens that I will personally lead my men to search for them.”

Runge was surprised to learn of this. “You’re going in person?”

“Yes.”

Runge did not say anything else but instead, he asked, “Are you able to find evidence that you weren’t the ones who planted the virus?”

“I’m currently looking for it.”

Since they were now allies, Lu Jingye did not hide anything from him. “Country A had built a top-secret underground laboratory when the worm race invaded. What the laboratory researched is precisely this virus that is harmful to the whole human race. My younger brother is currently there searching for the evidence. Other than this, the worm race also built a laboratory in the space station. They are mainly developing spaceships that can cross the cosmic polar ice meteorite belt…”

Lu Jingye told Runge whatever he should know.

The more Runge listened, the colder his expression got. He thought about it for a few seconds and said, “Since that’s the case, it means that Lu Yunxiao has already found the secret laboratory, is that right?”

“Yes.”

“Where is it located?”

Zi Yi turned on the virtual screen. The screen reflected a map and there was a red dot flashing.

“It’s where the red dot is flashing at. The laboratory is located in the sea. Yunxiao has already been there for a few days, but there has been no news from his end.”

Runge stared at the map and sometime later, he said, “If I go there too and cause some trouble, then release some news and help you buy some time, will you be able to create the antidote ahead of time?”

“As long as your aerospace department is capable enough.”

“Can you modify the spaceship from a distance?”

“Yes.”

Runge nodded his head and took out his phone again to make a call.

Only then did Zi Yi and Lu Jingye learn that Runge had thoroughly grabbed the reins of the National Space Agency in his country after they left. Right now, everyone has to listen to him.

…

At the borders of Country M.

Ever since Runge went after Lu Jingye, the other countries’ representatives were no longer that anxious. They planned to wait until Runge came back with Lu Jingye.

Country A’s representative arrived at the borders at around one in the afternoon. When he learned that Runge had gone to Lu Jingye’s place, he immediately urged everyone. “Zi Yi’s robots are extremely powerful. Do you think Major General Runge is really able to arrest them? What we should be doing right now is heading over there and providing help. Otherwise, Major General Runge will be completely unable to deal with Lu Jingye.”

Everyone thought that what he said made sense.

When the group of representatives was planning to enter Country M by force, Prince Justin came to the border in person to meet them.

Prince Justin said to them in a sincere tone, “Distinguished guests, we have all thought things through. Lu Jingye is a sinner of the whole of Europe and he should receive the most severe sanction. Therefore, I will personally lead you to the place where Lu Jingye and the rest are. Everyone, please.”
