Chapter 173 Are you stalking me?
Tan Zhengmo seemed to have seen through Zhu Ziqing's thoughts.
A faint smile appeared on her lips as she broke the silence: "Su Yingxue, it's rare to run into you here. This dark market is a mixed bag, it's not safe for you to wander around alone. Why don't we walk around together and take a look?"
Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes full of vigilance: "We're not related, why are you being so kind? Besides, I know everything about your affair with Zhengchu."
Tan Zhengmo shrugged, looking nonchalant: "Hey, what's past is past. It's fate that we met in this dark market. Let's stroll around together; maybe we can even help each other out."
Although Su Yingxue was curious, she kept quiet, thinking of the deep-seated hatred between Tan Zhengchu and Tan Zhengmo.
After a moment, she casually asked, "Tan Zhengmo, you're doing quite well in this dark market. Have you ever heard of a new type of weapon that uses viruses to kill people?"
She stared intently into Tan Zhengmo's eyes, not missing a single change in his expression.
Tan Zhengmo frowned, thought seriously for a while, and shook his head: "I've never heard of it before. This thing is too bizarre. If it really existed, wouldn't the black market be turned upside down?"
Su Yingxue's heart sank; it seemed that finding clues from him wouldn't be easy.
The two walked side by side and unknowingly entered a weapons shop.
As soon as I entered the store, I saw that it was crowded with people.
Everyone crowded around the display window, their eyes fixed on the weapons inside, occasionally letting out exclamations of admiration.
Su Yingxue took a closer look, and the exquisite yet imposing designs caught her eye.
Someone nearby whispered, "These were all designed by Emperor Moonlit Night. Now that he's retired, it'll be hard to see such a great work again!"
Su Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to ask Tan Zhengmo, "Moonlight Emperor? Who is that?"
Tan Zhengmo snorted coldly: "Hmph, who else could it be but my half-brother Tan Zhengchu?"
I must say, he's really talented in this area; I'm even a little tempted by these designs.
His words revealed both resentment and an undisguised admiration.
Su Yingxue smiled gently: "So Zhengchu is the Moonlit Emperor. No wonder he has such abilities. I really didn't know before. These designs are truly amazing."
Her gaze lingered on the weapons, and she imagined Tan Zhengchu's focused expression as he designed them.
Tan Zhengmo's eyes darkened, and he said with a wry smile, "It's a pity that because of our lack of relationship, I can't have these things he designed, no matter how much I want them."
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around and looked away, as if trying to hide his complicated emotions.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue felt even more moved by the entanglement between the Tan brothers.
But right now, finding Wei Hao is the most important thing.
She secretly gathered her thoughts, preparing to continue searching for clues in this dark market.
Su Yingxue stood in the weapon shop, gazing at the exquisite weapons with eyes full of amazement and admiration.
Unable to resist, she took out her phone and said excitedly, "These designs are so unique, I have to take a picture to remember them."
Seeing this, an employee nearby hurriedly came over, looking slightly flustered, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Madam, I'm really sorry, but we don't allow photos here. The designs of these weapons are all unique. If the photos get out and are imitated by criminals, a bunch of counterfeit products will appear on the market, and the reputation of this industry will be ruined."
Hearing this, Su Yingxue was a little disappointed, but she nodded understandingly and replied with a smile: "I understand, I understand. You are trying to protect these hard-earned works. My husband works in this industry. If his designs are ruined like this, I would also feel heartbroken."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with pride. She never imagined that her husband, Tan Zhengchu, could design such amazing works.
Thinking of this, Su Yingxue felt genuinely proud of him.
Seeing that Su Yingxue had put away her phone, the employee nodded slightly and then left.
Su Yingxue stood there, thinking to herself: My Zhengchu is truly a genius! The popularity of this design far exceeds my expectations. I must have him bring me to test the gun when I get back. I can't miss such a rare opportunity.
Meanwhile, Tan Zhengmo stood quietly to the side, watching Su Yingxue.
Her focused expression as she admired the weapon pierced Tan Zhengmo's heart like a beam of light.
A surge of intense jealousy welled up in his heart, mixed with a deep sense of loss.
He never expected that his elder brother Tan Zhengchu's wife would be so beautiful and charming.
Moreover, that passion for things is simply too attractive.
Looking at myself, I've seen quite a few women come and go in the past.
But none of them could move him or make him want to spend his life with them.
Compared to his older brother, he was far inferior in weapon design skills, and his life was a complete mess.
Having neither money nor companionship, Tan Zhengmo felt increasingly depressed.
An image uncontrollably surfaced in his mind: Su Yingxue, smiling and with eyes full of love, nestled beside him, the two of them walking hand in hand through life.
But fantasy is just fantasy. In reality, Su Yingxue always treated him as just an ordinary friend.
Tan Zhengmo knew in his heart that Su Yingxue was like a star in the sky, a luxury he could never have.
The moment this thought crossed his mind, his heart was filled with pain and struggle, making it hard for him to breathe.
After viewing the exhibition, Su Yingxue reluctantly withdrew from the crowd.
Turning my head, I saw Tan Zhengmo standing there blankly, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost his soul.
She couldn't help but step forward, wave her hand in front of Tan Zhengmo's eyes, and jokingly asked, "Hey, Tan Zhengmo, what are you standing here thinking about? You're completely out of your mind."
Tan Zhengmo snapped out of his daze, blinked hurriedly, and quickly covered up, saying, "Ah, it's nothing. I was just so engrossed in Brother's design. It's amazing, and I was just a little impressed."
He tried his best to make his voice sound calm and natural, but there was still a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
Su Yingxue didn't think much of it and patted his shoulder with a smile: "You're really amazing, I was stunned. Let's go, let's go explore other places, maybe we can find some useful clues."
With that, he strode forward.
Tan Zhengmo took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and quickly followed Su Yingxue's pace.
He knew that some feelings could only be buried deep in his heart.
Right now, the most important thing is to help Su Yingxue find the clues she wants.
Su Yingxue walked out of the store with light steps.
As soon as I stepped outside, it was as if I sensed something.
Suddenly raising an eyebrow, she deftly turned her head away.
His gaze was fixed on Tan Zhengmo, and he asked immediately, "Little Mo, were you following me?"
