My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 334 - 219: Divide into Three Steps

Chapter 334: Chapter 219: Divide into Three Steps

Watching Gao Yuan’s Audi A6 slowly drive away, Meng Lang let out a long sigh.

If it were me, would I feel imbalanced?

The answer... definitely yes...

Meng Lang had not realized that the evil "Chain of Sorrow" had actually spread to the real world.

At this moment, he finally understood how his boss must have felt when he, earning a salary, would criticize the boss...

It’s not the scarcity, but the inequality that torments, capitalists... are indeed unwelcome everywhere!

Having been reminded by Gao Yuan in this way, he now had a better understanding of his own brothers.

"What people want to express, is never the content of their words, but the longing to be understood..."

Meng Lang shook his head with a sigh.

However, remembering Gao Yuan’s meaningful and profound smile just before she left, Meng Lang always felt like she seemed to know something.

Meng Lang thought, there must be some key piece of information that these guys were hiding.

And that information... might it be the reason why the emotional arc always follows such a roller coaster?

His head aching a bit, he rubbed his temples.

Do you all think that I have been living peacefully behind the scenes?

Sure, your enemies are the only ones you have to deal with, but as for me, I have to put up with not just the enemies, but occasional teasings from my allies too...

My heart is tired too!

Walking to the side of the road, just as he was about to hail a taxi to go back.

"Tsk!" A Mercedes car suddenly braked to a stop in front of him.

Meng Lang didn’t care, thinking someone wanted to get out, and stepped back several paces, ready to hail another ride.

However, unexpectedly, the Mercedes backed up a few meters and stopped in front of Meng Lang again.

"Hmm?"

He looked with confusion at the slowly rolling down window.

In the driver’s seat, a young woman with wavy, long hair took off her sunglasses and looked at him with a smiling face.

"Handsome guy, can you tell me how to get to Tianhong Mall?"

The woman was quite beautiful with her delicate light makeup, wearing a low-cut bodycon dress that revealed her long legs and devilish curves.

A faint scent of perfume slowly wafted from the car, reaching Meng Lang’s nose and stirring the heart.

If this had happened a month ago and he had encountered this luxury car and beautiful woman striking up a conversation, Meng Lang might have thought he’d run into love again with a pig-like grin on his face.

But at this moment, he just frowned as he looked at the woman with the bright smile.

His wariness instantly maxed out!

Meng’s experiential formula: If a strange woman strikes up a conversation with you, don’t ask! If you ask, it means you’ve already got trouble!

The prettier the stranger, the bigger the trouble you are in!

Indeed, the more he observed, the more familiar he found the woman in front of him, as if he had seen her somewhere before...

That’s right!

Last time also in this coffee shop, after meeting with Gao Yuan and just thinking of leaving, Meng Lang and another person happened to meet Lin Haitang and her group.

This woman... seemed to be standing beside Lin Haitang at that time?

Back then, Lin Haitang pretended not to recognize him, and later she specifically explained that it seemed to be because Han Li was also in the crowd...

Connecting a series of clues, Meng Lang couldn’t help but suspect that he was facing another set up.

"Sorry, I need to take a call!"

Meng Lang picked up his phone and walked to the side, acting as if he was answering a call.

Han Li’s smile faltered.

I, a beautiful woman, ask for directions, and you answer a call and ask me to wait?

This was slightly upsetting for Han Li, who was used to men flocking to her like eager flies at the mere curl of her finger.

But for the sake of her goal today... she would endure it!

On the other side, Meng Lang had already begun calling for remote backup.

"Zero! Check the identity of this woman."

Meng Lang spoke, casually aiming the camera on the back of his phone towards Han Li.

"Facial recognition complete, cross-referencing and searching nearby surveillance devices..." Zero’s voice came through the phone’s speaker.

Last night was Zero’s debut, treating the firewalls of public electronic devices like they were nonexistent, capable of precisely identifying and tracking specific targets, ultimately gathering the criminal evidence against Rat.

If not for Zero, even if Meng Lang had managed to deal with Hu Dazhi and his gang, it wouldn’t have been so easy.

There might have been additional troubles afterward.

So, after verifying the effectiveness of using Zero last night, and getting a taste of "electronic suppression," Meng Lang had already begun the "intelligent upgrade" of all electronic components around him.

Although Zero was extremely dangerous... isn’t nuclear energy also dangerous? Did humanity abandon that technology?

It’s the law of true fragrance!

Besides, his brothers had spent 20 years verifying that Zero, not yet sentient, could be safely used.

As long as he firmly upheld the Zero Non-Proliferation Treaty, he could just play solo!

Moreover, facing the immense crisis of the Night Demon Clan, he simply couldn’t afford to be choosy.

Now, to fight "Destructive Level" enemies like the Night Demon Clan, you have to bring out a weapon of the same "Destructive Level."

Besides "Half-step Destruction Level" Zero, does he have any other choice?

You Night Demon Clan have your ’Listeners’ monitoring the whole world, don’t you?

As long as the human world undergoes a comprehensive intelligence upgrade, when the time comes, I, Zero, will certainly not be lacking either.

Super Space-Time Intelligence Bureau + Electronic Intelligence Ghost, with such a heaven-defying combination, I refuse to believe that I can’t catch the faintest trace of the Night Demon Clan!

When it comes to surveillance, I, AI Zero, am not inferior to humans in my life!

Meng Lang, having made a strategic decision, was preparing to gradually open up internet reading permissions to feed Zero with the vast knowledge repository of humanity, turning him into a weapon to use against his enemies.

The first to undergo an intelligence upgrade was of course his dumb smartphone.

Cough! Please forgive my referring to today’s smartphones in this way.

In fact, having seen the level of Zero’s intelligence, he found it very hard to associate current smartphones with the term "smart".

After opening up the audio and video permissions on the phone, through the internet, Meng Lang’s phone became the bridge between himself and Zero’s main body.

Meng Lang only needed to carry his phone to issue various commands to Zero, no longer needing to carry things like headphones and laptop bags that easily arouse suspicion.

And Zero’s main body just needs to quietly stay on the computer desk at home, enjoying the blessing of working 24 hours a day...

[Information collection complete!]About ten seconds later, Zero’s reply arrived tardily.

Meng Lang furrowed his brow.

Background checking a person is this slow; it seems that relying on a notebook processor to analyze and process large volumes of data in a short time is still somewhat forced.

He didn’t need to be there to guess that probably Zero’s electronic fan had already started whirring rapidly...

It’s still okay under normal circumstances, but if there’s an urgent situation with a higher demand for command timeliness, there might inevitably be hiccups.

It looks like making preparations for a high-performance server for Zero, plus a high-speed fiber-optic cable, has to be scheduled sooner rather than later...

[Target name: Han Li, age 30, graduated from the Law Department at South Central Political and Legal College with a Bachelor of Laws degree, started working in 2011, currently a senior lawyer at Zhongtian Law Firm...]

Han Li! It’s indeed her!

"Check her recent movements!"

[The subject entered the cafe you were in at 11:15 AM this morning, ordered a latte.

During the wait, she looked in your direction 6 times, and after getting her coffee, she returned to her car. It wasn’t until you appeared outside the cafe that she drove over to you...]

Meng Lang furrowed his brow again.

This confirms it, she’s come for me!

After giving it some thought, Meng Lang guessed where the problem lay.

You have to know that the other party is a mole for the Xu Group at the Zhongtian Law Firm involved in a "divorce case," and she definitely knows Gao Yuan.

Even if her mission failed before it even began, once she met with Gao Yuan, she might start doubting my identity...

In Meng Lang’s mind, lawyers come in two types.

One type is those who want to make money but have principles.

The other type is those who have no principles and only want to make money...

"Hmph!" Meng Lang scoffed.

I thought since Lawyer Lin had already pleaded, and there were no deep grudges between us, we could each go our separate ways and never see each other again.

Who would have thought that two chance encounters that should have ended there would be seen by you as an opportunity to explore the most terrifying truths of this world?

Woman, you’ve narrowed your own path...

After hanging up the phone, Meng Lang turned around and saw Han Li still wearing a patient smile as if waiting for him.

Come on! A normal person asking for directions wouldn’t wait several minutes for someone else to finish a phone call and still be so patient without looking for someone else...

Internally complaining, Meng Lang walked up to the car.

"Sorry, what was it that you wanted to ask just now?"

"Handsome guy, I wanted to ask, how do you get to Tianhong Mall?"

"Oh! Although I’m not familiar with the area, I do know that there are three steps to getting there.

Step one, open your phone. Step two, open the map. Step three, enter your destination. Got it?"

Han Li: "..."

Damn your three steps!

Did I ask for your directions on how to use navigation?

"Uh, haha! Actually, I’m directionally challenged and can’t understand maps.

My best friend was supposed to come with me for dinner and a movie, but she stood me up, and now I’m all alone, not even able to distinguish north from south or east from west...

Handsome guy, could you help me out?"

Han Li batted her innocent eyes, performing her best ’clueless and cute’ act.

"Dinner and a movie," "all alone"...

With these keywords, any man with a normal cognitive process would simply say, "It just so happens I’m heading that way," then smoothly take the passenger seat, and an enchanting evening might ensue...

But is Meng Lang a normal man?

A man who possesses eyes that transcend time and space, who has seen through everything, finds it all utterly bland.

Why is it that a simple, pure pick-up is so hard to come by...

"That’s really unfortunate, but I’m not alone. My friend is waiting for me, I’m really sorry."

Without regard for the expression on her face, he flaggendon the taxi behind him.

"Bang!" The car door shut, and the taxi drove off into the distance.

What’s going on!

He didn’t bite the bait?!

She can woo a rich woman, but not me?

Inside the car, Han Li was initially dumbfounded. After snapping back to reality and watching the taxi merge into the heavy traffic, her desire to investigate only grew stronger...
