Hao Ning looked at Zhang Dalong, and said gravely, “Do not hurt Zhou Yuan.”

“Hurt him?” Zhang Dalong laughed involuntarily. “Of course not. What do you think we are?”

Half an hour later, in a tea room.

Hao Ning looked at this teahouse. It was ancient and fragrant. From the moment he entered, he felt that this place was different from outside. Hao Ning would never have thought that in such a noisy city center, there would be a quiet place like that. There were a lot of vehicles outside, but they could not hear any noises in the room. The room was equipped with different sound-proof products. Other than the hall, there were only two private rooms in the teahouse, and Hao Ning and the rest were in one of them.

“This is a small teahouse set up by a friend of mine. It has a hint of meditation,” Zhang Dalong gestured to them to take a seat. The waiters here all recognized Zhang Dalong. Seeing that the few were about to sit down, they wanted to serve tea, but Zhang Dalong said, “No need, we’ll do it ourselves.”

The waiter immediately understood, nodded with a smile, and closed the door of the teahouse after they left the room.

Zhang Dalong smiled as he fiddled with the tea set. Hao Ning looked at the tea set and pot on the table. They were much more exquisite than the ones in Guo Yue’s office and must be very expensive.

Zhang Dalong poured a cup of tea for everyone and smiled at Hao Ning. Although he was looking for Zhou Yuan, from the things that happened just now, he had a feeling that Hao Ning in front of him might be a significant person, so he asked, “Shall we start?”

Hao Ning muttered to himself for a bit, then he looked at Jienan and said, “What about him?”

Jienan was startled. He immediately got the point that they would discuss something and did not want him to know, so he quickly nodded and stood up.

“Wait,” Liu Shuai suddenly said as he looked at Hao Ning, “Aren’t we too nervous? No one will believe us if we tell these things to others. Besides, this — “As he spoke, Liu Shuai looked at Jienan. He momentarily forgot his name.

“Jienan,” Jienan smiled slightly.

“Brother Jienan just saved me,” Liu Shuai laughed. “With him willing to stand out in such an occasion, he must be a good man. It’s always good to make more friends.”

Hao Ning looked at Liu Shuai and thought for a while before saying, “Fine, take a seat, Jienan. However, as for the things that we will talk about, we wish Mr. Zhang Dalong and Brother Jienan guarantee that you won’t spread it around regardless of whether you two believe it or not, don’t spread it around. We are just ordinary people after all.”

Zhang Dalong and Jienan looked at each other, then glanced at Hao Ning and nodded.

“Mr. Zhang,” Hao Ning slightly muttered to himself, deciding that he should first clear up the doubts in his heart before taking other actions, “How exactly did you find us, and what do you want to know from us?”

Liu Shuai also nodded his head. Since the things that happened tonight were extraordinary, it would be good for them to plan after Hao Ning figured out the cause and effect first.

“Mr. Zhang?” At this time, Jienan looked at Zhang Dalong suspiciously, “So you guys didn’t even know each other before?”

“Huh?” Hao Ning became even more confused upon hearing Jienan’s words. Concerning Zhang Dalong and Jienan’s conversation before, Jienan should be his secretary or something, and normally, the matters of leaders should be scheduled by the secretary, thus Hao Ning had always thought that it was Jienan who used various methods to find them, but since Jienan had said this, he too, was unclear on what was going on. Hao Ning felt that something was amiss, so he asked tentatively, “Jienan, it was you who arranged this for Zhang Dalong, wasn’t it?”

“It was me who asked Jienan to arrange the trip. He doesn’t know anything about it.” Hearing Hao Ning and Jienan’s question, Zhang Dalong knew that they must misunderstand. He smiled and waved his hands, and then asked Jienan, “Why do you think we knew each other before?”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it?” Jienan curled his lips, “You let us come to this city for some inexplicable reason today, and then you still didn’t tell us where we were going. Only until around 7 PM did you allow us to drive around to that restaurant, so wasn’t that these few people—” Jienan swept his gaze across Hao Ning and the other two, “These friends told you the location, and you brought us there?”

“Whoops…”Hao Ning was surprised. The three of them figured out the place of dining randomly after work. It was impossible for other people in the company to know. Based on what Jienan had said, it was very likely that either Zhou Yuan or Liu Shuai had told Zhang Dalong about the location. Thinking of that, Hao Ning hurriedly looked at Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan with an inquiring look, and the two of them quickly waved their hands, indicating that they had not told anyone before.

“If I tell you, “Zhang Dalong frowned. He would not know about other things if he did not explain it clearly. He came here today only to resolve his confusion, but the few people in front of him were all strangers, and it seemed like they still had some precautions against him. After thinking about it, he realized that he must be honest to earn their trust. After pondering for a bit, Zhang Dalong decided to tell the truth.” If I tell you that it is my first time to meet these three friends, and I have not contacted them before, nor did they tell me where to eat, will you believe me?”

When they heard this, Hao Ning and the other two immediately nodded, feeling relieved in their hearts, since that was reasonable.

“How could it be possible?” Jienan shouted. “Then how did you find them? What do you want with them? ”

Well, the three people hadn’t even said anything while the other side started to make a ruckus. Hao Ning felt that this was interesting, while he also found it weird, so he kept silence and listening.

“What a temperament you have!” Zhang Dalong laughed helplessly, “You are good at work, and it will be better if you are just a bit less anxious.”

“Hehe,” Jienan chuckled and scratched his head, “You always teach us that we should not hide doubts in our minds, don’t you?”

“That’s right. It would be best if you didn’t hide it. It’s better for people to be magnanimous,” Zhang Dalong said after thinking for a bit, “If I were to say that I brought you here based on my intuition, asked you to help these three friends, and even came here to clarify this matter, would you believe me? I did not want to look for the three of them, “Zhang Dalong looked at Jienan, and then looked at Zhou Yuan,” I only came for Zhou Yuan.”

“What…” After Jienan heard this, he gave an incredulous bitter smile. “Hey, stop messing around. It’s fine if you said that you used your intuition to make products, but now you even said that you could find people through your intuition. No one would believe that.” As he was speaking, he looked at Hao Ning.” I will believe if you said that you were coming for this martial arts expert.” Then he raised his fists in front of Hao Ning as a kind of etiquette, and Hao Ning imitated him as a return.

Jienan nodded at Hao Ning and continued speaking, “You said you came for this person. Is there something strange about him?”

“Tell me,” When Hao Ning saw Zhang Dalong and Jienan discussing among themselves, he lowered his head and asked Liu Shuai softly, “Could it be that this Zhang Dalong is also a god, like Master Guang Cheng? ”

“No way!” Liu Shuai retorted, “Do you think that gods are everywhere? How can it be possible that any person we meet is a god? He does not have Zhang Chi Hang’s aura, so it’s unlikely that he is one, but it’s just that … ”

Zhang Dalong was about to answer to Jienan, but seeing Liu Shuai and Hao Ning lowering their heads in a talk, he thought that it was impolite of him to leave them alone. Thus, he immediately apologized to Hao Ning, but Hao Ning repeatedly said that it was fine and asked Zhang Dalong to continue.

Zhang Dalong paused for a while and asked, “Do you three believe that everything has a spirit?”

Note: Pantheism is the faith of some nations of the past who believe that all existences have souls, but with the development of the human world, people think gradually that only humans have souls.
