Tranxending Vision - Chapter 963

Chapter 963: 963

“Jeez, you’re finally here . ” As soon as Xia Lei arrived at the laboratory, he was immediately brought deeper into the room by the long impatient Fan Yiming .

“Grandpa, what’s the matter?” asked Xia Lei .

Fan Yiming scanned his employees in the lab carefully . There was a slight twitch to his lips but the older man said nothing . He then pulled Xia Lei by the hand into another room .

Xia Lei found the entire thing suspicious . He attempted to probe . “Grandpa, what is going on?”

“You call me Grandpa now and Fan Fan told me I’m about to be a great grandfather soon . Is that true?” Fan Yiming stared intently into Xia Lei’s eyes .

Xia Lei felt a little awkward under his intense stare . “Yes, Grandpa . Fan Fan is pregnant . ”

“So that means we’re a family now, right?” Fan Yiming pressed on .

Xia Lei nodded . “Of course, we’re a family . ” Suddenly, he finally understood why Fan Yiming had requested his presence and even ensured that their conversation was private .

As expected, the older man was beating around the bush . Fan Yiming had finally brought the conversation to the real topic . “Tell me, how did you solve Alloy X’s stability issue?”

“Come on, tell me,” urged Fan Yiming, patience long gone .

Xia Lei answered, “Grandpa, it’s not that I don’t wish to tell you but it is not time . ”

“Not time?” Fan Yiming scowled . “When are you planning to tell me then? Noon? Or after office hours?”

Suddenly, Xia Lei caught light footsteps echoing about in the hallway .

His head quickly snapped to the direction of the door, left eye twitching slightly to activate his X-ray vision . Xia Lei quickly saw a woman who was carrying a large box that contained a lot of glassware . Her steps were careful, afraid that the heavy box might slip from her grip onto the ground .

She passed the door, never once pausing, and headed to the end of the corridor .

Xia Lei turned his head away . The spy issue had him extremely paranoid these days . Any minor sign of suspicion was enough to have him on edge .

“Hey, when can you tell me about it?” Fan Yiming was not the least bit interested in what Xia Lei was observing earlier .

Xia Lei looked at him . “Grandpa, how about this? I’ll tell you about it on Fan Fan and I’s wedding day . How about we treat it as my betrothal gift?”

“You’re just afraid there’ll be an information leak, right?” Fan Yiming was evidently upset .

Xia Lei sighed . “Grandpa, we’re family . Why would I not trust you? It’s just…” Fan Yiming had possessed not a faint bit of anti-spy capability, so Xia Lei had no plans on having the older man alerted about the presence of a spy lurking around in the Thunder Horse Organization .

“Stop calling me Grandpa . My granddaughter shall not marry you . I will not approve of this,” threatened Fan Yiming, studying Xia Lei’s response silently .

Xia Lei just merely smiled at him . “That’s enough, Grandpa . I’ll let you get back to work, I need to go check on the garage . ”

“Hey! You better think this through! I’m not letting Fan Fan marry you, for real!” The Fan Yiming at this moment was just like a spoilt child . This was the first time he had used his beloved granddaughter against Xia Lei .

Xia Lei paused and spared him a glance . “Grandpa, how about I tell Fan Fan about what you said earlier?”

“Huh?” Fan Yiming’s expression immediately slipped into a panic . He quickly waved his hands . “Ah, no, no . Uh . . . I was just joking around . ”

“I was just joking too . It’s decided then . Grandpa, on the day of the wedding, I’ll give the secret to you in exchange for your granddaughter’s hand,” said Xia Lei .

“This better not be a lie . ”

“When had I ever lied to you?”

“You tricked my granddaughter away, yet you have the audacity to feign innocence? You damned bastard, you’re not genuine at all . ” Fan Yiming grumbled angrily .

Xia Lei decided to not continue the banter and left the room .

“Director Xia . ” In the material science lab, Li Youdun greeted Xia Lei .

The man returned a nod . “What have you been doing these past two days?”

Li Youdun answered, “Now that the Alloy X is done with, all experiments have ceased . I’m currently doing some preparation work for the production line . Director Xia, you wish to obtain the most advanced garage in the country which requires me to submit a plan to you before the machinery comes . ”

A smile appeared on Xia Lei’s face . “True, planning is definitely needed . Oh right, try to refer to international examples and past studies . Our country’s material science sector is, unfortunately, a little behind others . You should really give it a read and try to extract the good parts of it . ”

“Got it . Director Xia, I won’t let you down . I’ll definitely give you a good plan . ” Pausing briefly, Li Youdun spoke, “But… I don’t know the exact details of the technical aspects, so the plan might not be able to include complete production . ”

Xia Lei’s gaze landed on Li Youdun’s chest, letting his left eye pierced through the cavity to peek into his heart .

The scientist’s pulse rate was normal, not showing any signs of picking up .

To observe one’s pulse rate as a lie detection method was something Xia Lei had learned a long time ago . Liang Siyao’s words of caution the other day had influenced Xia Lei greatly . The woman was once an excellent CIA spy and it was only natural for her to know how the world of spies operated . She had reminded him to suspect everyone, including her . With him suspecting his own lover, how could Li Youdun escape the radar?

“Director Xia?” Li Youdun piped .

Xia Lei snapped out of it . “Ah, it’s nothing . You can continue doing what you can at the moment . I’ll complete the rest for you . ”

“Alright . ” Li Youdun flashed him a warm smile . “I’ll look forward to the day the secret can be revealed . Director Xia, as a fellow Chinese, I’m honoured to be able to work for you and be involved in the Alloy X research . ”

Xia Lei gave him a pat on the shoulder . “Do your best . We’ll change this era for sure . ”

“Yeah!” Li Youdun’s nod was ecstatic .

Xia Lei left the material science laboratory but did not head into the garage . Instead, he left the Thunder Horse premise to venture towards the unfinished church beside the Peace Mansion .

Construction workers bustled around the site alongside unfamiliar faces . There were Caucasians, Blacks and some other races . Their coexistence made the place feel diversified and international .

They were all Catholic worshippers, fanatics even . These people were summoned here from all corners of the globe by the Russo and Grey sisters . Giovanna, Rosa, Stella, and Theresa’s goal was to build an armed force specifically for Xia Lei . These extremely loyal worshippers would be the base of this team .

Xia Lei studied each stranger with great attention . He thought darkly to himself, “Could the spy be one of them?”

He couldn’t deny that he was getting unbelievably paranoid all because of Liang Siyao’s words . He suspected everyone he came across as the spy .

The Grey and Russo sisters noticed Xia Lei’s presence and approached him .

Four female knights, two pairs of twins, blonde hair, and blue eyes along with nice tits and full behind . They were alluring and incredibly attractive . The way they strutted over was far from the impression of a religious nun or proud knights for a matter fact . All others could think of was unspeakable thoughts .

“Xia, it’s rare to see you here . What are you doing here?” The curve of Giovanna’s lips was beautiful, the woman was conversing in Italian .

The four female knights were still in the process of learning Chinese . However, Chinese was one of the hardest languages to master in the world . Their level of mastery was not sufficient to hold a normal conversation .

Xia Lei replied, “I’m here to check on the church’s progress . ”

“It’ll take another three months to complete,” said Theresa .

Xia Lei turned around and studied the huge church that covered at least fifty acres of land, a wry smile playing on the edges of his lip . “Are you building Spain’s Sagrada Familia?”

“Ah, no way . It’s impossible to build a church of that scale . The church here is our own Holy Thunder Church,” responded Stella .

“Holy Thunder Church?” This was the first time Xia Lei had ever heard of a name like that .

Stella gave him an affirmative nod . “That’s right, Holy Thunder Church is its name . We used your name* for the church . ”

[Note: Thunder = Lei]

Xia Lei gasped . “Is that appropriate? I’m not even Catholic, to begin with . How could you name this church after me?”

Giovanna assured him . “Religion should not be confined to believers and non-believers . We believe that you’re God’s chosen one and you have your mission . ”

“My mission . ” Xia Lei failed to suppress a laugh . “What mission has God given me?”

Giovanna said, “We don’t know for now, but one day it’ll occur to you and we’re preparing ourselves for the destined date . We are your knights . We will protect you and heed your orders . ”

“Are you the four horsemen of the apocalypse?” Xia Lei teased .

Theresa’s lips turned into a frown . “Xia, please don’t joke about that . The four horsemen of the apocalypse are deities of the world’s end . Their appearance would mean mankind had reached the end of their cycle and that the world is nearing its end . ”

Xia Lei shifted his posture . “Okay . Other than checking on the church, I’m also here to tell you something else…” There was a brief pause before he continued, “I’ve been using your identities to open up an account in an American financial securities company . So I have been dwelling into shares in the American stock market . If you’re uncomfortable with this, I’m more than happy to cancel the accounts . ”

The four female knights shook their heads in unison .

Xia Lei tried to clarify their thoughts . “Are you uncomfortable with it?”

Giovanna said, “You own every inch of our being . You’re free to use us whenever . ”

Those words were crazy suggestive .

It flustered Xia Lei a lot . “Alright then . That’s all from me . You can return to your work, I’ll be heading back now . ”

Giovanna insisted, “Xia, please know that our words are genuine . ”

Xia Lei nodded . He looked like he understood what Giovanna was trying to say but in all honesty, he did not understand her intentions at all . The minds of the opposite sex worked differently . When females spoke words like this, men would take it as a hint when it really was not . When men brushed off their words, those words would turn out to be an actual hint .

“Look at everyone here, they’re all faithful worshippers of God . If there’s anything you need help with, they’ll assist you without hesitation,” said Rosa .

Xia Lei nodded his head again . This time, he had completely understood Rosa’s message .

“I guess that’s all for today . ” Giovanna came closer and hugged Xia Lei, then she planted a kiss on each of his cheeks .

Following that, Rosa, Stella, and Theresa repeated the action . Xia Lei instinctively glanced at the direction of the office block, fearing that Liang Siyao would see this in action . Hormones were wild during pregnancy and Xia Lei had no intention of getting caught up in Liang Siyao’s fury of jealousy despite the seemingly intimate gesture being nothing but a Western norm .

Leaving the construction site, Xia Lei returned to the Peace Mansion . But before the man could take another few more steps, he froze . A silver Rolls-Royce Phantom was zooming over to his property from Bailu Town .

To complicate things further, Bo Mingmei wasn’t the one steering the wheel . It was Shentu Tianyin .

Xia Lei could feel his heart sink . “What is it this time?”
