Chapter 659: 659

There were three people in Shi Boren’s office . Other than Shi Boren and Tang Tianlong, there was another old man — A very weird old man . He was skinny, and gave people the impression that he was weak, but his eyes were like those of a hawk, keen, and powerful . It made people fear offending him .

Upon his first glance at this old man, Xia Lei felt as if he had seen him somewhere . It was a weird feeling, but he had forgotten where and when he had seen him . Before he could search his memories, Tang Tianlong came up to him . He had a smile on his face as he said, “Hehe, Xia Lei, I came as soon as I received your call . I have not even eaten breakfast . You do not know how anxious I am . ”

Xia Lei laughed as he said, “Uncle Tang has not even eaten breakfast? It’s my bad . I should have called later . ”

“Stop talking about breakfast . Have a seat, have a seat . ” Shi Boren was impatient too .

Xia Lei sat down . His eyes moved to the old man and he asked inquiringly, “This person is . . . ?”

Tang Tianlong and Shi Boren looked at each other but no one made introductions .

The old man answered calmly, “My last name is Zhongzhen . My first name is Wukui . ”

Xia Lei was not interested in his weird name . What caught his interest was Shi Boren and Tang Tianlong’s reaction . It was obvious that the two knew who this old man was, yet neither stepped forward to introduce him . Why was that?

“Mr Xia, heroes rise from the youth indeed . I feel fortunate that our country can have a genius like you . ” Zhongzhen Wukui complimented Xia Lei . However, there was not a hint of a smile on his face though he was complimenting him .

Just then, a short sequence of images appeared in Xia Lei’s brain . It was the Thunder Horse Military Factory’s core workshop, which was also the core workshop that the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe second generation was located . Everyone who had been in the workshop surfaced in his brain . One by one, the faces appeared, some familiar, some unfamiliar . There were people conversing, some looking around, and some peeking at women…

A few seconds later, a face suddenly appeared in Xia Lei’s brain . It was the face of the old man in front of him, Zhongzhen Wukui .

‘He had actually come to see my second generation Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe! Just who is he?’ Xia Lei’s brain started running once again . All of the scenes began to play backwards .

This was a very strange process . It was like rewinding a HD video on a computer . Everyone's actions, voices, and the movement of their feet were rewound, no exceptions, no omissions .

The rewinding soon slowed and the scene played normally .

In Xia Lei’s brain, Fan Fan and Ling Han were talking about something . Zhongzhen Wukui appeared in front of them . He only looked at them and they immediately shut their mouths . Xia Lei realised that Fan Fan and Ling Han both had an expression of reverence, and their eyes dared not look upon Zhongzhen Wukui’s face either .


‘Could this Zhongzhen Wukui be… Fan Fan and Ling Han’s boss? The director of the ZN Bureau?’ This thought passed through his head and he started to feel anxious .

He had not expected that this Zhongzhen Wukui would join in on this negotiation too . In his plan, he only needed to talk with Shi Boren and Tang Tianlong, then set everything straight to propose his conditions . As for the higher-ups, he did not need to do anything because naturally Shi Boren and Tang Tianlong would take care of it . But now, if this Zhongzhen Wukui really was the boss of the ZN Bureau, his participation in this negotiation would add some uncertainty to the outcome .

Whether it was the replay of his memories or his analysis of the man’s identity, it had all been done in an extremely short amount of time . Xia Lei felt nervous, but he still smiled and said courteously, “Mr Zhongzhen, you flatter me . It is an honour for me to be able to serve my country . I was taught by my father since my youth that passion for our motherland must exceed passion for life . He trained my patriotic sentiments from an early age . All that I am doing now is following my father’s teachings . ”

“Xia Lei, didn’t your father go missing?” said Shi Boren suddenly .

Xia Lei replied, “He is missing but not dead . He could still come back even if he is missing . I have always held the hope that one day I could see my father . If someone is willing to grant me this wish, I am willing to do anything for him . ”

Tang Tianlong coughed . “Why don’t we get to business . Let us have these conversations at the wine table, all right?”

Shi Boren chuckled . “Right, right . Let us get to business . ”



Zhongzhen Wukui kept his gaze on Xia Lei, his gaze never leaving him for even a second . When Xia Lei had previously mentioned his father, the corner of his mouth had twitched as if he had wanted to say something, but he did not in the end .

“Then I will stop with the small talk . Xia Lei, if you have any requests, say it now . ” Tang Tianlong did not waste any words and immediately dived into the main topic .

Xia Lei was silent for a moment and then smiled . “I want to first hear about the details of this negotiation . Uncle Tang, you were not clear enough on the phone the last time . I want to fully understand something as important as this . ”

Tang Tianlong smiled wryly . “Xia Lei, was I not clear enough last time?”

Xia Lei put on a show of patience . “Let me understand the details first . ”

“All right, then let me tell you about it in detail . ” Tang Tianlong explained, “After you left, the German government was quiet for a while . As for the specific cause, you should know without my saying, it was the bitter wine they brewed themselves . ”

Xia Lei nodded .

“But they will not give up . We have also expected that they would contact us on their own and sure enough, they sent a special envoy to come to talk with us a week ago . The negotiation result was that they will exchange their submarine technology for your technology, including a Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe . ”

Xia Lei said, “I remember that you said that technical staff would come to tour and inspect my factory and the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe . How did it become them wanting my technology?”

“You must have remembered incorrectly . What I said was a technology exchange . What this exchange includes is some transfer of technology . ” Tang Tianlong’s expression took on an awkward tinge .

They sure were doing as they pleased . If they said something was one way, then that became truth .



“What specific technology do they want?” asked Xia Lei .

“Well, mainly the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe’s technology . What they care most about is your intelligent lathe technology . This time, they clearly asked for the whole blueprint, electrical engineering behind it, and the control program . Of course, the XL2500 sniper rifle and the Gust assault rifle is also a part of it . They want all the technologies — you cannot leave any out . ”

The corners of Xia Lei’s mouth curved into a cold smile . “They sure want a lot . They probably even asked for the technology for my second generation Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe, right?”

Tang Tianlong paused, then said, “That’s right, they mentioned it but we rejected it . We told them clearly that we will not sell the technology for the second generation Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe . It is now a flagpole of our manufacturing industry . How would anyone sell their flagpole?”

It did not matter if it was a flagpole or some other pole — all had been created by Xia Lei . Now, these things were being taken out and sold, yet he could not even make the decision .

“Then did they ask for the Hellbound One-soldier Cannon’s technology?” asked Xia Lei .

Tang Tianlong smiled wryly . “You really are like the roundworm in the Germans’ stomachs . All right, their appetites are huge and they did mention that they want the technology for the Hellbound, but we did not agree . It was they who came to request things of us, not us requesting something of them . ”

Zhongzhen Wukui then spoke up . “Mr Xia, I know that these technologies are important to you and those military factories . But you need to know that their submarine technology is even more important and valuable to us . To us, this deal is very cost-effective . I hope that you can put the interests of the general public first and agree to this good deal . ”

The overseer had finally spoken . He could have lost his patience, or become dissatisfied with Xia Lei’s attitude .

Xia Lei smiled . “Mr Zhongzhen, of course I approve of this deal . Remember the last time? Did I not help our country get a Eurofighter Typhoon’s engine technology?”

“If that is the case, then everything is easier . ” Zhongzhen Wukui stared straight at Xia Lei . “I heard that you have a request, or rather a condition . Go ahead . I want to hear it . ”



Things still came back to the starting line after going in a big circle . Xia Lei could have said it all in one go before Tang Tianlong asked about his request, but he did not . He deliberately went in this circle because he needed to wear away these people’s patience . He wanted to let them know that he was not the “good boy” they thought he was . He also had his own opinions!

“Say it . You are usually pretty quick with what you want to say . Why are you being hesitant now?” Shi Boren’s voice was very loud . “It is some girl that caught your eye isn’t it? No problem, don’t be embarrassed and just say it . How about I be your matchmaker? Is it my goddaughter?”

Tang Tianlong stared at Shi Boren awkwardly . He, the biological father, was still in the room . How did it come to Shi Boren the stepfather deciding on Tang Yuyan’s marriage?

But Xia Lei only smiled . Would he even need Shi Boren to be the matchmaker if he wanted to marry Tang Yuyan? He only needed a phone call to call Tang Yuyan out . Eat some food, watch a movie, then order a room at a hotel . He could even save money on condoms .

Zhongzhen Wukui had urged him, and Tang Tianlong, and Shi Boren too . However, Xia Lei still looked like he was in no hurry . He slowly opened his briefcase and took out a few files from the inside, and a large envelope . After he took these things out, he did not give them to anyone but held them tightly in his hand .

“What is this?” asked Shi Boren .

Xia Lei did not respond to that question but replied, “I do not ask for fame or profit . I only ask for one person . ”

“Did some girl… Really catch your eye?” Shi Boren’s expression was quite comical .

Tang Tianlong suddenly laughed .

Xia Lei finally said, “I want my father . ”

“Huh?” Shi Boren and Tang Tianlong immediately stood still, stunned .

Only Zhongzhen Wukui stayed calm, but a coldness flashed in his eyes .
