The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1367 You gaze into the abyss, I gaze into you!
The old city of Beijing, Dongcheng District
In a secluded courtyard,

After settling Zhang Cheng in, Zheng Chaoyang immediately said, "This is my friend's house. He's away on a business trip for now, so please stay here for the time being!"

"Wow, that's impressive, Lao Zheng. You've got quite a network of connections!"

Looking at Zheng Chaoyang with a big smile, Zhang Cheng joked.
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zheng Chaoyang said speechlessly, "I'm only a few years older than you, and you call me Old Zheng!"

"Don't call me Old Zheng, call me Little Zheng!"

Smiling, Zhang Cheng teased Zheng Chaoyang.

"Alright, shut up. I've realized that arguing with you is pointless!"

While complaining about Zhang Cheng, Zheng Chaoyang then said, "By the way, where do you want to take your brother for medical treatment? If it's Tzu Chi Hospital, my brother is a doctor there. If you want to go, I can arrange it for you!"

Hearing Zheng Chaoyang's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Okay! Have Bai Ling and Hao Pingchuan come over tonight, I'll cook for you! I'm a pretty good cook!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with surprise, Zheng Chaoyang asked in confusion, "You can cook?"

"Uncle Zheng, my brother Zhang's cooking is amazing!"

Upon hearing Zheng Chaoyang's doubts, Guangming quickly spoke up.
Upon hearing Guangming's words, Zheng Chaoyang smiled and said, "See, Xiao Zhang, how sensible your younger brother is! He should call me Uncle!"

Looking at Zheng Chaoyang with annoyance, Zhang Cheng said helplessly, "Whatever, I'm young anyway! And I have a girlfriend, unlike someone else, so pitiful!"

He gasped, looking at Zhang Cheng speechlessly, because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back and would want to beat the kid to death!
However, considering the disparity in military strength between the two sides, Zheng Chaoyang fell silent.

This Russian guy, who can take on an entire company with his bare hands, is even promoting his boxing style in the army. No one can beat him in close combat, right?
In the afternoon, let Guangming stay at home to play.
Zhang Cheng went to the market and bought a lot of things.

Although he doesn't have local tickets, he'll "make do" with them!

While visiting Shichahai, Zhang Cheng also managed to get a two-pound fish from a fisherman.

As for other seasonings, he had quite a few in his storage space.

After all, as the controller of the black market, Zhang Cheng never lacked anything.

Back in the courtyard house, Zhang Cheng began to cook.

Sitting to the side playing, Guangming smelled the fragrance and smiled.

Because his favorite thing is Zhang Ge cooking!
As evening approached, there was a knock on the door.

The moment Hao Pingchuan saw Zhang Cheng, he immediately opened his arms and said, "Haha, little Zhang, you've come to see your brother, haven't you! Look, I brought you some soy milk especially because I heard you were coming. You should try it!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a wide smile, Hao Pingchuan's expression was incredibly lewd.
Looking at Hao Pingchuan, Bai Ling couldn't believe that the handsome Hao Pingchuan with his thick eyebrows and big eyes could be so treacherous and cunning.

Looking at Hao Pingchuan, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I may have never been to Beijing, but that doesn't mean my father hasn't. You should keep this for yourself! I'm not worthy of enjoying it!"

When Zhang Cheng spoke to Hao Pingchuan, he rolled his eyes, thinking, "What kind of people are these? They throw douzhi (a type of Chinese drink) at me as soon as we meet, as if they're afraid I'll die."
Staring at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Hao Pingchuan's eyes widened.
Because he's so clever, what am I supposed to do?
"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go inside!"

Carrying some fruit, Bai Ling looked at Guangming and asked, "Is this your younger brother?"

"Guangming, say hello, call her Aunt Bai!"

Speaking into the light, Zhang Cheng laughed.

"Aunt Bai."

Just as Guangming was about to speak, Bai Ling said angrily, "What nonsense are you teaching me? Just call me 'sister'!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with annoyance, Bai Ling punched him and Hao Pingchuan. Staring blankly at Bai Ling, Hao Pingchuan was dumbfounded and asked, "Why did you hit me?"

"You're laughing even harder than him? If I don't hit you, who will I hit!"

Bai Ling became angry as she spoke to Hao Pingchuan.

A few minutes later, Zheng Chaoyang arrived, carrying two bottles of wine.
After he sat down, everyone started eating.

Taking care of Guangming, Bai Ling appeared exceptionally gentle.
While eating, Hao Pingchuan exclaimed in astonishment, "Good heavens, Xiao Zhang, your cooking skills are almost on par with the head chef of Fengzeyuan Restaurant!"

"These Shandong dishes are indeed at the level of a master chef!"

Bai Ling stared at Zhang Cheng in surprise, her face also filled with shock.
"Just a little something I've learned!"

With his hands casually outstretched, Zhang Cheng's face was full of pride.
Because his master was the junior apprentice of a grandmaster of Shandong cuisine, he himself was certainly no less capable, but he was just more outstanding in terms of interpersonal skills!

After the hospitality ended, everyone left one after another.
As he drank, Zhang Cheng squinted and said, "Zheng Chaoyang's older brother? Interesting!"

Thinking that Zheng Chaoshan had always been playing a game of cat and mouse with his younger brother Zheng Chaoyang, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
Because Bai Yutang was truly clever. Back when he was a prisoner in Kaifeng Prefecture, he managed to steal from the entire city without being discovered.
I also learned this trick from the other person.
After all, who would discover that the real master thief is in prison!

The following day, Tzu Chi Hospital,
Under Zheng Chaoyang's arrangement, Zheng Guangming began the examination.
Inside the office, Zheng Chaoshan looked at the documents in his hand and said, "Comrade Zhang, you were recommended by Chaoyang, so I won't waste any more words. Your brother's condition is quite serious and requires surgery to resolve, and even then, success is not guaranteed!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zheng Zhaoshan became serious.
After hearing Zheng Chaoshan's words, Zhang Cheng paused for a moment and then asked, "How confident are you?"

"I'm not even 60% sure, that's the best I can say for sure!"

Upon speaking to Zhang Cheng, Zheng Chaoshan immediately said, "However, we can treat him slowly first to prevent the condition from worsening!"

"I'll go ask Guangming! Thank you, Dr. Zheng!"

Looking at Zheng Chaoshan, Zhang Cheng got up and left.
However, after clarifying Guangming's wishes, Zhang Cheng approached Zheng Chaoshan and said, "We agree to the surgery. Thank you, Dr. Zheng!"

"I am a doctor, and saving lives is my duty!"

When he spoke to Zhang Cheng, Zheng Chaoshan didn't know why, but he always felt a great sense of danger when facing him.

After resting in the hospital for a few days, the surgery began.

Sitting outside, Zhang Cheng silently smoked, his thoughts drifting.
Although Zheng Chaoshan was a spy, his medical skills were quite good.

If he could save Guangming, Zhang Cheng might consider letting Zheng Chaoyang handle the situation instead of doing it himself.
But if he can't do it, then sorry, the two sides are already adversaries, so Zhang will have to change his identity!
As for Zheng Chaoyang, it's better to let Zheng Chaoshan die in an empty alley and be judged as a robber than to let him know that his older brother is a spy.

This is good for everyone!

Letting Zheng Chaoshan go was not an option for him at all, after all, one thing is one thing!
The idea that "lay down the butcher's knife and instantly become a Buddha" doesn't apply to him!

Four hours later, Zheng Chaoshan, dressed in surgical scrubs, came out with a smile in his eyes and said, "Comrade Zhang, your brother's surgery was a success. Although he can't regain all his vision, he will be able to see clearly in the future!"

Zheng Chaoshan then began to explain to Zhang Cheng.

Upon hearing Zheng Zhaoshan's words, Zhang Cheng immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Dr. Zheng?"

"That's right. After his eyesight improved, he was only severely nearsighted because it had been delayed for so long!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zheng Chaoshan began to explain.

Upon hearing Zheng Chaoshan's words, Zhang Cheng laughed and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Because he finally doesn't have to bear the guilt of facing Zheng Chaoyang anymore, that's great!
