Chapter 467: The Intimate Arrival

Because Wei Wendong was close to the door, he noticed that behind the employee was security in “plastic armor.”

He had been skeptical of the futuristic-looking “plastic” armor that could defend against bullets. The fluid-looking rifles in their hands were more like props from a sci-fi movie.

But if Wei Wendong knew the plastic armor could defend against the firing of a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun or the toy could easily flip over a 3-ton military Hummer or that the prop gun could penetrate through the bulletproof exterior of a Hummer, what kind of expression would he have on his face?

The kinetic skeleton had remained a concept only in labs. In this aspect, Celestial Trade was leading the world.

A faint explosion transmitted from outside.

But due to the excellent insulation of the hall, only Wei Wendong, close to the door, felt a minor shake. The explosion made him uneasy, but just as he was planning to ask the employee, the lights in the hall came back again.

“What just happened? Fu*k, I was killing a boss but suddenly disconnected.”

“Q.Q, I just got a legendary weapon but hadn’t picked it up.”

“Did the power just go out?”

Wei Wendong listened to the chit-chat of the surrounding players. He hesitated for a moment before he swallowed his question down. The explosion outside and the barely audible gunshots made him feel the situation wasn’t as simple as a power outage.

“We apologize as the hotel’s power system experienced a temporary outage. Our technical experts have resolved the situation, please return to the game. The game data has been reset to before the outage and will be unpaused in two minutes.”

[Pausing the server is only something that can be done during internal testing.] With a mind full of questions, Wei Wendong put on the helmet and logged into the game.

…

Jiang Chen had spent an entire day working on the contract for the production of helmets. When he returned home, he fell asleep right away.

But two hours into his sleep, a call from the internal testing center woke him up.

“An attack?” Jiang Chen listened to the description over the phone as his eyebrows furrowed together.

“That’s right. There were five attackers in total. One cut off the power supply in the hotel remotely while the other four with light weapons attempted to enter the hotel, but the drones detected them. Our people immediately suppressed them with bullets. When they were retreating, they used grenades and struck the wall of the hotel, but fortunately, there were no casualties,” the security manager responsible for the internal testing center reported.

“Where are they?” Jiang Chen asked in a serious undertone.

As long as there was one person alive, the truth-telling liquid could uncover the truth.

“Three people were shot dead during their escape. One person died due to a vehicle collision and the other person committed suicide.”

[Suicide?]

Jiang Chen’s eyebrows tightened.

“Did you confirm their identities?”

“Other than the fact that three of them were white and two were black, we weren’t able to obtain any more information,” Ma Li answered.

The organization that sent out that force was a formidable opponent as they sent out agents who would rather commit suicide than reveal their identity.

“Were there any witnesses?”

“All information leaks have been controlled.”

“Great, continue to monitor the information leaks and don’t let the media know. Take care of the situation.”

If the media exposed a shooting at the door of Future Technology’s Internal Testing Center, Xin’s tourism rating and Future Technology’s public image would be impacted. If possible, it was better to keep the media ignorant of the incident.

“Understood,” Ma Li answered affirmatively.

Jiang Chen thought for a while after he hung up the phone to think about who could’ve launched the attack. But when he carefully went through a list of potential organizations, he realized there were too many suspicious people. Future Technology’s virtual reality touched too many people’s slice of the pie. It was fortunate that the testing was being done on his territory and Celestial could punish any rats with iron fists.

He had to wait for Ayesha to finish training the agents.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

There was no signal on that island, so there was no way of contacting Ayesha even if he wanted to. If he made a trip… he feared it would interrupt her teaching.

Jiang Chen flung his phone to the side, yawned, and laid down again.

Regardless, he was tired today. He still had to head to the airport tomorrow, so it would be an early morning start for him.

…

Inside the airport, a splendid figure in a summer outfit strolled around. Her black circular shades were matched with a straw hat; her graceful hand pulled a lemon-yellow suitcase along. Her appearance looked exactly like a celebrity traveling in secret, catching the attention of all the tourists.

But the beauty was clearly used to their envious looks, so she didn’t react at all as she headed straight to the door.

“Hello~”

Liu Yao’s eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Chen leaning against the door. She waved energetically.

With Liu Yao’s lively appearance, Jiang Chen smiled and greeted her as well. But just as he was about to speak, an unstoppable yawn came out.

Liu Yao rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and dragged her suitcase in front of him.

“What? Did you not miss me?”

“How could I not? It’s just that something happened last night,” Jiang Chen said with his mouth wide open while taking Liu Yao’s luggage. He walked in front of the car to stuff the luggage in.

Something did happen last night, but Liu Yao clearly mistook it for something else. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen again but it didn’t take long before her attention shifted to Jiang Chen’s car.

“Wow, is this a Lamborghini? The trunk is in the front.” Liu Yao touched the car out of excitement.

“Do you like it? I’ll gift you one then?” Jiang Chen opened the door.

Even Natasha had scoffed at the lack of defense on his ride. Out of safety considerations, it was time to switch to a safer vehicle.

For example, he should build the cast with C-type steel, use tempered glass for the car windows, use nuclear fusion batteries as the engine for the car, and install two rockets.

When Liu Yao entered the car, she immediately took off her shades and tossed her hat to the back.

“Why do I feel like you’re really excited?”

“I just really missed you.” Liu Yao stared at Jiang Chen with her watery eyes.

“Really?”

“Of course!” Liu Yao lifted her graceful legs. Her movements showed her charm.

“I think you got prettier.” Jiang Chen examined Liu Yao while rubbing his chin.

“Where?” Liu Yao asked with enthusiasm.

Jiang Chen pretended to be deep in thought. Faced with Liu Yao’s hopeful glance, he finally gave a response:

“Your boobs got bigger.”

Liu Yao’s face was decorated with a blush as she pouted.

“Screw you.”

“Then where should I compliment you?” Jiang Chen started the car while he spoke with a smirk.

“Obviously other parts. Like my face, my eyes.”

“Then your face got bigger.”

“What? Did it get bigger?” Liu Yao scrambled through her purse to find a mirror and examined her face. “It didn’t get bigger…”

But soon after, she saw the smirk on Jiang Chen’s face and she replied to him with a hard stare:

“Hmph, you dared to trick me.”

With a grin on his face, Liu Yao felt she shouldn’t let this go so easily, but she couldn’t think of a way to punish him.

Her eyes rolled around and suddenly a bright smile formed on her face.

“Pay attention when you’re driving.”

“Of course, you don’t have to worry about my driving.”

“Oh, is that so? Then you better drive slowly…” Liu Yao smiled mysteriously then reached out her left hand nonchalantly.

“Xin’s road conditions aren’t bad; there aren’t many cars on the road”

The cold sensation made Jiang Chen’s scalp tingle.

“What’re you doing…” Jiang Chen frantically tried to stabilize the steering wheel then glanced at the mischevious Liu Yao.

“I’m testing your driving skills.”

Liu Yao turned the bottle of water and grinned.

Liu Yao studied Jiang Chen’s expression and she felt confident. Regardless of what happened last night, he still had feelings for her. As his mistress, only this feeling gave her a sense of security.

If Jiang Chen knew what she was thinking, he would have a peculiar expression on his face. Something did happen last night, but it was completely contrary to what Liu Yao thought.

Something similar happened before. When they came out of Wanghai University, a similar scene happened in the car. But the only difference was that the Maybach had tinted glass. The inside of this Lamborgini could still be seen from the outside.

If Jiang Chen parked on the road, everyone would see what was happening in the car. But the car was moving.

“Can’t you wait until we watch the movie?” Jiang Chen was consumed by the gentle coldness while he squeezed a few words from this teeth. He tried his best to maneuver the vehicle.

It was very distracting to have people drinking water on the side.

“No, I’m thirty.” Liu Yao pouted.

The “displeased” Jiang Chen made Liu Yao even more naughty.

Her mischevious eyes rolled around and she opened the bottle cap. Her bright red lips moved closer and began to slurp on the water.
