I lowered my head and whispered to him, \"Brother Hu, let me tell you, the reason the Li family suddenly produced so many experts is that they used a potion to cultivate them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? A potion? How is that possible? What kind of potion can make a person become that powerful instantly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know if you are aware, Brother Hu, that during the war in the last century, the people from Country R conducted biochemical experiments in our country. They developed a very evil strengthening potion that could drastically increase a person's combat power in a short time. However, it couldn't be maintained for more than a few years before the person would die from physical exhaustion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? A strengthening potion? Is this for real? If it is, the Li family is truly devoid of conscience. And those people from Country R really don't want to live anymore, daring to conduct such experiments in our great nation. Damn it, I must kill them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Hu, Brother Hu, please calm down. This is all just speculation; there is no solid proof yet. But it’s almost certainly a strengthening potion. Two of my classmates used this drug; one is already dead, and the other was captured by Li Hong because he found out the secret of the potion. There has been no news of him since.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply outrageous. The Li family are nothing but traitors. Damn it, I'll kill them sooner or later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Huang Laohu’s expression wasn't faked. He might truly be a person with some patriotic sentiment—simply put, a bad guy with principles and a bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But with the involvement of people from Country R, I suspect this matter won't be easy to handle. We still need to think carefully about how to respond!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chatted with Huang Laohu briefly, and then San Ge and I left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, San Ge said to me with great annoyance, \"That group of people are really cowards. Only that Huang Laohu is a bit better, but let me tell you, one day I will definitely be much more badass than him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing San Ge’s performance today, combined with his words just now, I felt that he might be a natural at the underworld life, and perhaps he could really make something of himself in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li family’s appetite was growing larger and larger. Making too many enemies might be my opportunity; this would increase the chances of winning against the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At school, Li Hong still rarely attended class and went out all day. Then, one day, Zhang Yinuo suddenly walked from the front to my seat and said, \"Come out with me for a moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Yinuo’s words, I was quite confused. Ever since Zhang Yinuo and Chen Ling started bickering, Zhang Yinuo had rarely contacted me. I didn't know what the situation was with her suddenly looking for me, and judging by her expression, it seemed to be something very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Ge, sitting to the side, looked at me with a wicked smile, giving me a meaningful look, and kept nudging me to go out. But Chen Ling, who was in front, was not happy. Just as I was about to stand up, Chen Ling blocked my path and said to Zhang Yinuo, \"Is there anything that can't be said in the classroom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yinuo looked at Chen Ling and then shook her head helplessly, saying, \"You don't understand this matter. I must speak to him in person; it’s not convenient in the classroom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What matter could I not understand? And not convenient in the classroom? I don't believe it. No, it has to be said in the classroom!\" Chen Ling grabbed my hand and refused to let go, as if she were afraid I would be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gently patted Chen Ling’s hand and comforted her, \"Don't worry, it's fine. Don't overthink it! Let me go out and talk to her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yang Yun, you’re actually siding with her. Do you like her? Tell me!\" Seeing that I had actually agreed to go out, Chen Ling’s expression was very unwilling, and even carried a hint of grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say, Class Monitor, is this necessary? A man isn't kept by threats and binding. Acting like this only makes people think you’re a child who hasn't grown up; no one will like that!\" Zhang Yinuo said from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am like this, so what? Does it concern you?\" Chen Ling snapped at Zhang Yinuo angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, both of you, shut up. It’s just a conversation, why make it so difficult? Class Monitor, don't spend all day thinking about these useless things, okay? Zhang Yinuo, let’s go, we’re going out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, I followed Zhang Yinuo out of the classroom. However, Chen Ling’s face was very ugly at that moment, her expression full of grievance. She lowered her head and slumped onto the desk. I saw her reaction, but I didn't stay to comfort her because some things have to be made clear eventually. Besides, I didn't want to ruin her life; rather than this, it was better to let her recognize reality sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yinuo and I walked to the corridor behind the classroom. I leaned against the wall and looked at her, asking, \"What’s wrong? What’s so urgent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been investigating the Li family’s affairs?\" Zhang Yinuo raised her head and looked directly at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Zhang Yinuo in surprise. I didn't expect her to ask about the Li family. It seemed that Zhang Longtao was also uneasy in his heart; after all, the Li family was now an uncontrollable factor in Zhang Longtao’s hands, so he was quite nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know about this? That’s right, I have indeed been investigating the Li family recently!\" I didn't deny it, but directly admitted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect it to really be you. Yang Yun, this matter is quite dangerous, and it involves a terrifying level. It’s not something you can investigate. I advise you to give it up; otherwise, even having nine lives wouldn't be enough to die!\" Zhang Yinuo warned me immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know it’s dangerous, but I won't give up. It’s already reached this point, and Li Hong won't let me off so easily. I am already an enemy of Li Hong now. If the Li family really rises, I won't be able to hide. So, don't try to persuade me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand. This time, the matter is truly very serious. I heard from my father that even the authorities have been alarmed, and there are foreigners involved. If it really comes to a fight, your level of strength is simply not enough to look at!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. In any case, don't try to persuade me. I’m already too deep into this; I’m already in it and can't get out. So I can only bite the bullet and investigate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing me so persistent, Zhang Yinuo was helpless. She then said to me, \"Fine, since that’s the case, then investigate with me these days. At least if you’re by my side, I can look after you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, you want to investigate too? There’s no need to look after me; I can handle it myself. Besides, it’s not very convenient for two people to act together!\" Hearing that Zhang Yinuo wanted to join me, I was still a bit resistant. After all, I had a mission, which couldn't be leaked, and I already had Feng Chen following me. I felt there was no need for anyone to guard me.\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-11T10:32:36.211Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2e3ac1b57a1b4f73d7d1863de536de89f87cbe8d4369999c959c675f8e514b7e","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-114","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-112",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-overlord-cover.jpg"]
