CIATB Chapter 184 The Return Journey!
Chapter 184 The Return Journey!
Qin Xiao's lips twitched.
Should we let the old man dig it up?
That's the military's top-secret base.
but……
Since Brother Yan has said so, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and dialed his father's number.
"Hello, Dad."
"I am Qin Xiao."
"There's something I'd like to discuss with you..."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Then came Qin Changfeng's deep voice.
"explain."
That's right.
Qin Xiao organized his thoughts.
"Brother Yan needs a batch of materials."
"There is one of these things called the Earth Vein Energy Crystal Core."
"He said it's in the Kunlun ruins."
There was another silence on the other end of the phone.
This time the silence lasted even longer.
Qin Xiao could even hear his father's heavy breathing.
Are you sure?
Qin Changfeng's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"Sure."
Qin Xiao nodded.
"Brother Yan said it himself."
"OK."
Qin Changfeng didn't ask any further questions.
"I will arrange for someone to dig it up."
"But this matter must be kept secret."
"clear."
Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Dad."
"You're welcome."
Qin Changfeng said calmly.
"I'm just investing in the future."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qin Xiao put down his phone and let out a long breath.
nailed it.
He turned around and looked at the ten Wolf-Looking robots.
"Let's start the test."
"Let me see just how good these guys really are."
……
at the same time.
Jinghai urban area.
Nie Qingcheng was sitting in her office, flipping through a series of documents.
She was wearing a black business suit, her hair was piled up high, revealing her slender neck.
The coffee on the table has gone cold.
But she didn't drink it.
Her attention was entirely on her phone.
She had read the message Zhang Yan sent her at least ten times.
"Everything's taken care of."
Just five words.
But Nie Qingcheng knew that there was definitely more to this than met the eye.
She understands Zhang Yan.
He never reveals anything dangerous.
Each time, it was glossed over lightly.
But the more this happened, the more worried she became.
"President."
Linda knocked on the door and came in.
"The engineering department is ready."
"We can leave anytime."
Nie Qingcheng nodded.
"Tell them to watch out."
"The terrain there is very complicated."
"If you encounter any problems, contact me immediately."
Linda paused for a moment.
The CEO rarely gives such instructions.
It seems this project is indeed extraordinary.
"clear."
Linda left.
Nie Qingcheng stood up and walked to the French windows.
Outside lies the bustling Jinghai urban area.
Skyscrapers stand tall, and traffic flows like a river.
But her thoughts had already flown to Changbai Mountain, thousands of miles away.
Come back soon.
She said softly.
"I'm waiting for you."
Changbaishan Airport.
Zhang Yan parked Cheng Ying next to the tarmac.
The private jet's gangway has been lowered.
The crew is conducting final checks.
"Son-in-law, have a safe journey."
Manager Qian stood not far away and spoke respectfully.
Zhang Yan nodded.
"I'll leave this to you."
"Just wait for Qingcheng's people to arrive, and cooperate with them."
"clear."
Manager Qian replied.
He watched Zhang Yan board the plane, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
This young man always causes quite a commotion whenever he comes.
Last time, it was Zhao Dashao who got caught.
I wonder what they did this time.
But there was one thing he was very clear about.
This son-in-law is definitely not an ordinary person.
The plane takes off.
Zhang Yan sat in a comfortable leather chair, closing his eyes to rest.
In my mind, the system's notification sound rang out.
[Mission Completed: Subdued the Teng Snake]
[Reward: 5000 experience points in Mo Family Mechanical Arts]
Current Level: Grandmaster (8500/10000)
[1500 experience points needed to reach Master level]
Zhang Yan opened his eyes.
I'm just a little short of breaking through to the master level.
At that time, he will be able to carry out structural modifications to the Tengshe.
Shrink it to the appropriate size.
But there's no rush now.
Anyway, Tengshe has already been stored in the storage space.
It's not too late to upgrade once all the materials arrive.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Nie Qingcheng.
"We're on the plane."
"We'll be there in two hours."
He replied almost instantly.
"it is good."
I'll pick you up from the airport.
Zhang Yan smiled.
"Need not."
"I can go back by myself."
"Wait for me at the company."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent for a few seconds.
"Then be careful."
"Um."
Zhang Yan put away his phone.
He leaned back in his chair, looking at the clouds outside the window.
A vast expanse of white, like cotton candy.
The plane pierced through the clouds, and sunlight streamed into the cabin.
Warm and bright.
Zhang Yan closed his eyes.
Nie Qingcheng's face appeared in my mind.
That face, so alluring it could cause a catastrophe, must be frowning right now.
She's always like that.
He said he wasn't worried, but he was more nervous than anyone else.
A smile appeared on Zhang Yan's lips.
When I get back, I'll have to coax her properly.
……
Two hours later.
Jinghai International Airport.
Zhang Yan walked out of the terminal building.
The weather outside is nice.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.
He took out his phone, ready to call a car.
But at that moment...
A black Bentley Mulsanne slowly pulled up in front of him.
The car window rolled down.
Nie Qingcheng's stunningly beautiful face was revealed.
"Get in the car."
She said it casually.
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you say I didn't need to pick you up?"
"I'd like to."
Nie Qingcheng glanced at him.
"Enough talk, get on here."
Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head.
He opened the car door and got into the back seat.
The car was warm inside.
The air conditioning was on full blast.
It also has a faint perfume scent.
It's the one that Nie Qingcheng often uses.
"Are you tired?"
Nie Qingcheng turned her head and looked at him.
There was a hint of heartache in her eyes.
"fine."
Zhang Yan reached out and took her hand.
I just miss you a little.
Nie Qingcheng's face flushed slightly.
She tried to break free, but couldn't.
"Glib-tongued."
She said that, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
The car started.
The plane smoothly departed the airport.
Zhang Yan leaned on Nie Qingcheng's shoulder and closed his eyes.
"Everything's taken care of."
He said softly.
"The Tengshe has been put away."
"Once all the materials arrive, we can proceed with the upgrade."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent.
She simply stroked Zhang Yan's hair gently.
The movements were very gentle.
It's like comforting a wounded little animal.
"Thanks for your hard work."
She said in a low voice.
"From now on, let Qin Xiao handle these kinds of things."
"You stay home with me."
Zhang Yan smiled.
"That won't do."
"There are some things that only I can do."
Nie Qingcheng sighed.
She knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise.
This man is a workaholic at heart.
But it was precisely this that fascinated her.
The car entered the city.
The scenery outside the window flashed by.
Zhang Yan suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right."
He raised his head.
"Be careful when you send someone over to Changbai Mountain."
"Although I took Tengshe with me, there are still some traps there."
"Don't let the construction team accidentally touch it."
Nie Qingcheng nodded.
"I will take charge."
"Don't worry."
Zhang Yan hummed in agreement.
He leaned back on Nie Qingcheng's shoulder.
This time, he was truly exhausted.
Although there is nothing wrong with my health.
But the mental strain still left him somewhat exhausted.
Nie Qingcheng felt his breathing gradually become steady.
She glanced down.
Zhang Yan was already asleep.
Her heart softened.
I gently adjusted his position to make him more comfortable.
The car continued on its way.
Sunlight streamed through the car window and fell on the two of them.
Warm and peaceful.
