Chapter 862: News From Lu Yunxiao’s Side

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Zi Yi returned home, Lu Jingye was not working. Instead, he was standing there and giving the housekeeper some orders.

At the sight of Zi Yi coming in, the housekeeper quickly took his leave.

Lu Jingye walked over to her, moved the strands of hair that were resting on her cheeks behind her ears, and asked, “Are you tired?”

“Nope.” Zi Yi held his hand and told him about how she encountered Qin Ze today. In the end, she said, “I’ve never seen someone so thick-skinned. If not for the fact that he’s Mr. Qin’s son, I would have gotten Shadow to beat him up to the extent that he can’t follow me anymore.”

Lu Jingye could not hold back his laughter. “It’s precisely because he’s Mr. Qin’s son that he knows you will not really make things too difficult for him.”

!!

“I’ve heard of Qin Ze previously. He’s similar to Mr. Qin, in the sense that he’s also patriotic. Before he turned eighteen, he nearly went down the wrong path and Mr. Qin ended up leaving him stranded in the Northwest Satellite Base for a year. There are two bases there and he has been in both bases before. Therefore, he has a strong interest in weapons and space technology.

“Following that, he went to schools which specialized in these areas and spent seven years to complete his double-major PhD degree.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “I discussed the topics of weapons with him today and his foundation is really good. However, he’s restricted by the technology in this era.”

“Mhmm.”

Speaking only up to here, both of them then changed the topic.

Lu Jingye said, “There’s news from Yunxiao’s side.”

“What happened?”

“It’s about the place where the secret research base in Country A was transferred to, Yunxiao suspects that it should have been moved to the space station or a nearby planet.”

When she heard that, Zi Yi was silent for a second before she said, “If my guess is right, the male worm must have been behind this. Many of the higher-ups in Country A have their bodies controlled by the male worm’s children.”

“Yes.” Lu Jingye had the same train of thought. “However, where will they hide Yunxiao’s men? You mentioned before that for the worm race to enter a host body, it can only be in a situation where the host’s mental energy is weaker than the worm race. Those in the secret guards have all undergone harsh training and their mental energy would not be lacking.”

Zi Yi thought about it and made a guess. “If their research base was really moved to space or other planets, the male worm most likely has the intention of going back to the interstellar era as well as to conquer the Earth… He might be using those people as pioneers.”

“The universe is far wider than what humans are aware of. Moreover, there are numerous parallel planes. The technology at present is too backward and when creating spaceships, pioneers are definitely needed.

When Lu Jingye heard Zi Yi’s analysis, his expression turned serious.

Both of them walked to the living room together and Zi Yi brought out the virtual screen.

“I’ll hack into their place to see where they have moved their research base to.”

When she was saying that, rows of text were quickly rolling across the screen.

After the code finished executing, the screen turned white and a few minutes later, an image was shown.

Zi Yi said, “They have bases at the space stations and also on Uranus.”

Lu Jingye’s expression turned even more serious and he asked, “Can you hack into these two bases?”

Zi Yi brought out the virtual keyboard and quickly tapped around.

Sometime later, she said, “These two bases are built according to the 18 storeys of hell. I can only enter up to the 16th floor. There’s a special material on the 17th floor which can block out all the materials and technology I have created at present… However, I have found the people. They are all locked up on the 5th floor.”

“How many people are there?”

“Many.”

When Zi Yi said that, she exited and put away the virtual screen. “It seems like we have to speed up the progress of your space company. The male worm may have already obtained the management rights of the space departments of Country A and Country D.”

These two countries’ aerospace technology was in the lead globally and the materials they have collected from space are sure to surpass that of Zi Yi or the capital.

Lu Jingye nodded his head. “We can have a discussion with Mr. Qin about this.”

Zi Yi did not find that to be a problem. After sitting for some time, she stood up and went to her lab.

When they were having dinner at night, Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, “I sent the robot Ranran over in the afternoon.”

“Hmm? Is that Sister Luo’s idea?”

“Yes. She said that she plans to hide this from Auntie Luo for the time being.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. She could also understand Luo Qian’s feelings. She only said, “I hope that she can think things through.”

“Mhmm.”

After dinner, Zi Yi returned to her lab.

Lu Jingye sat in the living room and received the report from his subordinate.

At around nine in the evening, there was a huge explosion not far away from the villa they were living at. Following that, there was a huge burst of flames.

Lu Jingye stood at the front yard and looked in the direction of the explosion as he furrowed his eyebrows.

It was strange for an explosion to happen in this area and it was obviously man-made.

If his guess is correct, the explosion was to lure them out.

The housekeeper was standing next to him and he asked, “Second Young Master, do you want me to check it out?”

“No need. The higher-ups will send people over very soon.”

Lu Jingye was right. The men sent by the higher-ups arrived very soon.

Sometime later, the entrance of the courtyard was knocked on.

The housekeeper walked over and asked, “Who is it?”

Someone said, “I’m from Bureau X. A huge explosion happened nearby and there must be terrorists hiding nearby. Please open the door and let us in for inspection. ”

The housekeeper turned around and looked at Lu Jingye standing in the courtyard.

Lu Jingye looked at the door and took out his phone to make a call. After the other party answered, he asked, “The people from Bureau X are knocking from door to door?”

The other party said, “They aren’t from the same faction. Try to stall them first and I’ll send someone over right away.”

Lu Jingye responded affirmatively. After hanging up, he motioned for the housekeeper to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a man in a uniform that had strong facial features. Looking at the epaulets on his shoulders, he was at the very least above the rank of a general.

“Hello. I’m Xiang Shaoqing from Bureau X. Please cooperate with our inspection.”

Xiang Shaoqing was actually surprised when he saw Lu Jingye standing by the door. They were aware that Second Young Master Lu and Zi Yi would occasionally stay here, but he did not expect to encounter the real person today.

Lu Jingye said with a gentle expression, “Come on in.”

Having said that, he turned around and headed inside.

Xiang Shaoqing ordered his subordinates. “Go in and search. Pay attention not to break anything.”

“Yes.”

“Hold on.” Lu Jingye stopped the group of people who were about to head inside and he looked at Xiang Shaoqing. “Please show me the search warrant first.”

As Xiang Shaoqing came in a hurry, he did not have time to get a search warrant at all. Traces of awkwardness flashed past his face but more of it was displeasure. He felt that Lu Jingye was deliberately making things difficult for him. In such a situation, shouldn’t the citizens cooperate unconditionally?

“Second Young Master Lu, it is a special situation right now. If we were to return back to get a search warrant, the terrorist might have escaped. As someone from the Lu Family, you should know this better than I do.”

“Mhmm.” Lu Jingye nodded his head as if he agreed with him. However, he said, “This is my house. Do you think terrorists can get inside?”

Lu Jingye’s bodyguards were as famous as the Lu Family’s secret guards. Normally, people would assume that those people would not dare to infiltrate inside.

However, Xiang Shaoqing did not like Lu Jingye’s attitude and said with a serious expression, “No matter if they can get in or not, I have to conduct this check.”
