50: Kyushu people come, the city opens the cloth, showdown, I want a military license
About half an hour later...
Lu Xingye and Zhao Dawei arrived at the Emperor KTV as agreed.
One was the top leader of Suihuo Technology, and the other was the second-in-command. Logically, after the company had achieved so many results, they should have been very happy.
But... Lu Xingye and Zhao Dawei couldn't be happy now.
Suihuo Technology had booked the entire Emperor KTV building. The employees were having a blast, with occasional wolf-like howls echoing through the vibrant, neon-lit surroundings.
Lu Xingye sat in a corner, his gaze unfocused.
Although he had cleaned up the crime scene, he didn't dare to hope that he could hide it from Kyushu.
Such a small trick might fool Dawei, but trying to deceive a state apparatus was simply too difficult.
It was basically impossible.
Perhaps... Kyushu was already sending people to look for him.
Lu Xingye pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with any useful thoughts.
Forget it.
What's meant to be will be. If it's a blessing, it can't be avoided. If it's a curse, it can't be escaped.
Suihuo Technology would have to cooperate with Kyushu sooner or later. If he was discovered, then he would just publicly announce it.
If he wasn't discovered, then he would continue to lie low for a while... From this attack, Lu Xingye realized another problem: the security of his living environment was too poor.
He should move into a high-end residential area.
Suihuo Technology had already become a star enterprise of Kyushu, and with the two killer applications, the Kunlun System and Nano Battery, becoming a first-class enterprise was only a matter of time.
Have you ever seen a company CEO go out without bodyguards?
So... Lu Xingye felt that he should recruit some bodyguards. And the bodyguards he hired should not be incompetent; they should have real talent and skill, preferably retired special forces.
Only then could they help him deal with some unexpected incidents.
And not be like this time, where he had to handle everything himself.
Wearing the Iron Man Suit was too high-profile.
It wasn't suitable for every appearance... Lu Xingye stayed in the private room of the Emperor KTV for over an hour before directly returning.
He had to go home first and move his home computer to a safe place. His home not only contained Tony's computer but also his personal laptop.
Both of these computers stored a large number of his secrets.
Now that a mysterious force had targeted him, Lu Xingye couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't visit his home.
Therefore, transferring important items first was the best course of action.
Nothing else happened on the way.
Lu Xingye successfully returned to his rented room.
To his surprise...
The door to his rented room was open, and two middle-aged men were sitting inside. One was wearing a suit and tie and looked somewhat familiar.
The other was wearing a rather old-fashioned blue jacket, which was solid colored, with no other colors besides blue.
It looked a bit like an old-style Zhongshan suit.
The old man in the Zhongshan suit had a kind and approachable face, very easygoing. His eyebrows were straight and sharp, and subtly, there was a hint of murderous aura.
Who is this?
Lu Xingye was startled. Could it be that enemies had found their way into his home? Just as he was considering whether to turn and leave, or activate his Iron Man Suit, he heard a familiar voice from inside.
"Student Lu."
"Come in quickly..."
"We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Hmm?
Is this He Chendong???
Lu Xingye paused. He had just felt that one of the people inside was very familiar, but because the light inside was dim, he couldn't be sure.
Only when he heard the other party's voice did he confirm that it was He Chendong.
The entrepreneurship director of Yan University.
During the growth of Suihuo Technology, He Chendong had provided him with tremendous help; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a benefactor.
"Teacher He?" Lu Xingye asked cautiously.
"It's me."
"Come in quickly."
He Chendong's impatient voice came from inside. Lu Xingye then slowly walked in, but his right hand always held his briefcase.
He never relaxed his guard.
The person inside was indeed He Chendong, but what if He Chendong was being threatened?
What normal person would trespass?
"Sit," He Chendong gestured for Lu Xingye to sit down.
Lu Xingye sat on his bed.
No choice... He Chendong and the stranger had taken his computer chair. Besides the bed, he had no other place to sit.
He glanced around.
He noticed that although they had broken in, they hadn't touched any of his belongings, including his computer, bed, and other furnishings.
"You are Lu Xingye?" asked the middle-aged man in the Zhongshan suit. His voice was very clear and resonant, somewhat like a drill sergeant's command.
"Yes," Lu Xingye nodded. By this point, he already had some guesses about the stranger's identity.
With such attire and temperament, the other party was very likely from the military.
"First, take a look at these photos!"
"Aren't you going to explain the content of the photos?" The middle-aged man in the Zhongshan suit took out a stack of photos from his pocket. The photos showed the battle scene between Lu Xingye and the special operatives.
In one of the photos, the car roof was forced open by immense power, fanning out like a trumpet.
It was very illogical.
Lu Xingye took the photos, looked at them for a couple of seconds, and then put them down.
"Who are you?"
"Before asking someone a question, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
Oh... haha... The man in the Zhongshan suit and He Chendong exchanged dry laughs. They blamed themselves for being too eager, how could they have forgotten this part?
"Chendong, introduce this child."
"Alright," He Chendong nodded.
Then he turned to Lu Xingye and slowly introduced him.
"Student Lu."
"This is someone from Kyushu, surnamed Long, given name Yingtian. He comes from a special department and holds immense power."
"Actually, because of your company's strong rise and the revolutionary nature of the products it produces... Kyushu has long been paying attention to you, but they haven't found an opportunity to contact you until this attack..."
"Kyushu decided to have a chat with you."
"However..."
"You don't need to worry too much."
"We are here to understand the situation, not to assign blame. You just need to tell us the truth."
"As for those foreigners... they are all criminals, and their deaths are not to be regretted. We will not pursue the matter."
At this moment, Long Yingtian also nodded in agreement, adding: "That's right."
"Originally, I wanted to come and talk to you myself, but I was afraid of misunderstanding, so I asked your school's teacher to come along."
"If you don't believe me, I can show you my identification."
"No need," Lu Xingye waved his hand. In a place like the Imperial Capital, no one would be audacious enough to impersonate someone from a special department.
Moreover... ever since Long Yingtian arrived at his rented room, he hadn't touched any of his belongings, which was enough to show sincerity.
If Suihuo Technology wanted to transform into a military-industrial enterprise, it would inevitably need the support of Kyushu and cooperation with Kyushu.
Perhaps now was the best time for a public announcement.
