621: go home

“Old pal, I, Haoran, am truly not convinced!”

The voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, finally letting out a deep sigh.

“Sigh!”

“You’re lucky, at least you still have your freedom. Besides the slightly worse working environment, your position and benefits haven’t decreased much.”

“During this major internal reshuffle, many college-level leaders at Qingbei University suffered suppression a hundred times worse than yours.”

“Some even lost their jobs!”

“I’m one of the few who managed to stay in their original positions, and I’m even from the Development Faction!”

In the eyes of the Conservative Faction,

everything they did was for the nation’s rise, following a path of seeking development through every possible means.

So, they always called themselves the Development Faction.

The term 'Conservative Faction' was just an outsider's prejudice against them.

“Old Hao, as comrades for many years, if you have any wishes, I will definitely help you if I can.”

Hearing this on the phone, Haoran fiercely pulled out a freshly rooted sapling.

He said sharply,

“Ai Dapao!”

“This is Ai Dapao’s revenge against me!”

“Ren Yi, he’s just a mere undergraduate. If Ai Dapao hadn’t planned this behind the scenes, how could he have built such a groundbreaking mecha!”

“This must be a trap set by Ai Dapao!”

“If it weren’t for Ai Dapao and his hateful student, I wouldn’t be stuck in this godforsaken place waiting to die!”

The voice carried a question.

“Who is Ren Yi? What did he do to you?”

Listening to his old friend’s question, Haoran suddenly woke up, hastily replying:

“Nothing, nothing at all!”

“Old pal, if you get a chance, just find a way to take down Ai Dapao, you don’t need to worry about anyone else!”

After speaking, Haoran quickly hung up the phone.

He then shoved the sapling he was clutching back into the sand pit.

Ren Yi’s identity is still a top national secret!

If it were leaked from him, he feared that the authorities would quickly trace it back to him, and by then, he wouldn't even know how to write the word 'death'!

...

Qingbei University.

School of Mechanical Engineering.

Dean’s Office.

Professor Li Zongxuan listened to the “beep, beep, beep” from his phone, deep in thought.

He immediately searched for Ren Yi’s information online.

After a long search, he found that Ren Yi was the top scholar of Jinghai City a few years ago, and also the only undergraduate student Ai Dapao had taken on in recent years.

There was no other information.

Then he inquired with the leaders of the National University of Science and Technology, finding that they seemed to know something but didn't want to talk much about the topic.

So he switched to another phone and dialed an overseas number.

Soon, a deep voice came from the other end.

“My dear Li, how may I help you?”

“Good evening, sir.”

Professor Li Zongxuan immediately said, “The information your Central Intelligence Agency provided is incomplete!”

“I want information on a student named Ren Yi from the National University of Science and Technology. Send me all the information you have on this student.”

“Alright!”

Soon after, the fax machine started printing.

Professor Li Zongxuan looked at Ren Yi’s information, his pupils suddenly contracting.

“This Ren Yi, after graduation, actually went directly into the Southwest Military Region, without any formal examinations or public announcement procedures!”

“He’s also suspected of becoming the lead designer for a national-level project!”

“Inside story, there must be an inside story!”

As an old professor, Professor Li Zongxuan was like a shark smelling blood.

His entire face revealed surprise.

Professor Li Zongxuan was very cautious, and he carefully checked the faxed information again,

finding that this graduate named Ren Yi indeed had a very ordinary family background.

He wasn't some rich second-generation or official second-generation!

Professor Li Zongxuan’s eyes suddenly gleamed with a fierce light!

It seemed that Ai Dapao had used some connections from the radical faction to secretly arrange for his precious student to be directly admitted to the Military Region.

Thinking of this, Professor Li Zongxuan excitedly burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha!”

“Ai Dapao, oh Ai Dapao, you are truly digging your own grave!”

As a professor at Qingbei University,

he naturally knew how difficult it was for an undergraduate graduate to directly enter the highest Military Region.

It must have cost an unimaginable price!

It's just a pity that he found out!

Expose it!

Mobilize all propaganda forces to expose this dirty nepotism!

Professor Li Zongxuan smiled eerily.

“Ai Dapao, your precious student will surely die by my hand this time.”

“And you, too, will be disgraced!”

“Kyoto Sea City is so big!”

On the private jet, Lin Muxue excitedly pointed at the bustling river city and shouted to Ren Yi.

In this parallel world, Kyoto Sea City’s development was exceptionally good.

It was actually a provincial capital city.

And one of the best-developed quasi-first-tier cities.

Ren Yi’s home was naturally not within the river city itself.

After getting off the plane, Ren Yi and Lin Muxue got into the highest-specification sedan dispatched from the local Military Region, a privilege usually only afforded to vice-ministerial level leaders.

Ren Yi’s home was in a dilapidated faculty housing complex in the city’s suburbs.

It was almost noon,

Upon entering the complex,

under the shade of the trees, many elderly people were chatting idly with their grandchildren who were on long holiday.

The group arrived at an old three-story Western-style house.

“Captain Chen, just you come up with me, the others can stay outside.”

Ren Yi smiled at Chen Zhihui.

Chen Zhihui nodded.

He arranged for the other team members to be deployed at various key positions around the area, then carried the suitcase and followed Ren Yi.

“Dad, Mom?”

Ren Yi opened the door and heard clanging sounds from the kitchen.

“A-Yi, you’re back?!”

Ren Yi’s mother, Lin Ying, wearing an apron,

ignoring the grease on her hands, quickly walked out of the kitchen.

“You really are something. I told you to call ahead when you were coming back so your dad could pick you up at the station. You just don’t know what you’re doing all day…”

She stopped mid-sentence.

Lin Ying suddenly saw Lin Muxue standing next to Ren Yi.

“You, you…”

Lin Ying quickly rubbed her eyes.

She realized she hadn’t seen wrong!

It really was a delicate little beauty!

“Hello, Auntie! My name is Lin Muxue, you can just call me Xiaoxue. Ren Yi and I are classmates.”

Lin Muxue was very well-behaved.

“Ha, haha… Xiaoxue, hello, hello!”

Lin Ying replied with an awkward laugh, momentarily unsure what to say.

Oh my goodness?

Was she dreaming?

Ren Yi, this blockhead, actually brought such a beautiful girlfriend home for the first time!

“Old Lin, you old thing, hurry up and come out!!”

To ease the awkwardness, Lin Ying quickly turned around and shouted for help.

“Coming, coming, what are you yelling about?!”

Ren Yi’s father, Ren Qiang, walked out of the kitchen.

“Hello, Uncle!”

Lin Muxue sweetly called out again.

“Ah… hello, hello!”

Looking at the sweet-faced little beauty next to his son, Ren Qiang froze on the spot.

What the heck??

Ren Yi, this brat, what is he doing? Lin Ying looked at the helper she had called, who was even less useful than herself.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
