Chapter 136 It's him again! That scoundrel with thick eyebrows and big eyes!

Looking at the high-definition photo on the table and Liu Jianguo's man-eating gaze, Li Jiajun felt his brain cells dying at a rate of ten thousand per second.

The evidence in the photo was too conclusive.

That adorable little bear logo, the anti-counterfeiting steel stamp, and even the special anti-slip pattern designed on the bottom of the canister were exactly the same as those produced in his factory.

But how could this be?

He was clearly selling gas canisters!

How did this thing turn into a rocket? And it's flying with a tail flame?

The desire to survive occupied the high ground of Li Jiajun's brain at this moment.

"Uncle Liu! I'm wronged!"

Li Jiajun pointed at the photo, eyes wide, shouting with righteous indignation, "This... this must be a knock-off! You know, current knock-off manufacturers are too rampant! They saw my product became popular, so they maliciously imitated it! This workmanship... look at these welding points, how rough they are! One look and you can tell it's not our factory's craftsmanship! This is framing! It's a setup!"

Liu Jianguo watched his performance coldly, his mouth twitching, speechless in his heart.

'Rough?'

'Just now, the Experts from the Ordnance Group analyzed it on the way; although this welding technique looks crude, it's a standard aerospace-grade welding method! It's meant to form a de Laval nozzle structure! You call this rough?'

But he didn't expose him immediately, just tapped the background of the photo with his finger.

"A knock-off?"

Liu Jianguo's voice was hoarse, "Then tell me, which knock-off manufacturer would open a factory in the desert? And be able to build this kind of knock-off that hits more accurately than a missile?"

Li Jiajun was stunned for a moment.

He looked in the direction of Liu Jianguo's finger.

He was too nervous just now and didn't notice the background. Now, looking closely...

Yellow sand filled the sky. Mud houses full of exotic flair. And those iconic date palm trees in the distance. This scene... why does it look so familiar?

A strong sense of déjà vu pierced through Li Jiajun's skull like an electric current.

'Desert... war... wealthy tycoon...'

'Isn't this Middle East?!'

Immediately after, a name that triggered his PTSD instantly flooded his mind—A White Cloth on the Head.

The ruthless person who bought his Swarm Drone and then wiped out an armored brigade.

But... the customer this time is a new account. What was it called again? Buyer ID.

"Bu... Bai... Kuai... Yi... Ding... Tou..."

Suddenly, his pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints. Reading those characters backwards... Tou... Ding... Yi... Kuai... Bai... Bu?!

"Holy shit!!!" A national curse word instantly echoed throughout the entire office.

Li Jiajun, who was originally feeling guilty and thinking of excuses, exploded in this instant.

A huge sense of humiliation, of being fooled, deceived, and treated like a monkey, instantly overwhelmed his fear of Liu Jianguo.

Bang! He slammed the table with such force that the teacup on the table jumped up.

This slap startled Liu Jianguo, who was originally preparing to lose his temper opposite him.

Li Jiajun pointed at the photo, his face flushed red, veins bulging on his neck, roaring in a tone a hundred times more furious than Liu Jianguo's: "It's that bastard! It's him again! I just said 'Buyer ID'—how is that name so familiar! Damn it, he reversed the name to trick me!"

He was so angry he spun around in place twice, clutching his head, looking frantic.

"I was careless! I was so careless! I was just busy counting money at the time, thinking the name was just some non-mainstream trend; who would have thought these thick-browed, big-eyed guys would also learn to use aliases?!"

After venting the anger in his heart, Li Jiajun turned his head sharply to look at the bewildered Liu Jianguo. At this moment, the guilt on his face was gone, replaced by a sense of sorrow and indignation at having suffered a great wrong.

"Uncle Liu! You judge this!" Li Jiajun spread his hands, shouting grievances, "I am the victim! I've been deceived twice by the same person using the same trick! Is there any justice left in this world?!"

"I was clearly just trying to sell a gas canister! For safety, I even specifically set the price so high! Who knew he would put on another alias to buy it! This is fraud! This is commercial fraud!"

Liu Jianguo stared blankly at the furious young man in front of him. The belly full of anger he had prepared was forcibly choked back by Li Jiajun's "the villain sues first" maneuver.

This plot direction... is not right. According to the script, shouldn't this kid be crying and admitting his mistake? Why does it seem like he is the most wronged person now?

And... 'Buyer ID?' Liu Jianguo silently repeated the name in his heart, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. 'Good heavens, it really is A White Cloth on the Head read backwards. This kid's customers... are all talents.'

The group of Experts from the Ordnance Group standing behind Liu Jianguo were now all bowing their heads, their shoulders shaking violently. They had originally come with a serious political mission. But now, seeing Li Jiajun's "I was deceived, I am very angry" appearance, they really couldn't hold back their laughter. This was too outrageous. A genius capable of creating weapons that change the form of warfare, actually deceived twice by such a low-level word game?

"Ahem..." Liu Jianguo coughed hard twice, forcibly suppressing the urge to laugh in his heart, striving to maintain his dignity as a leader.

"Enough! Stop howling!" Liu Jianguo put on a straight face and glared at Li Jiajun, "Regardless of whether you were deceived or not, you built the thing, right? You provided the technology, right?"

"That was built by me, yes..." Li Jiajun's voice weakened a bit, but he was still very aggrieved, "But what I built were civilian products! Who knew he would take them back and use them as rockets!"

"Civilian products?" Liu Jianguo sneered. He didn't argue with Li Jiajun anymore. Instead, he slowly bent down and pulled a thick document out of his briefcase.

It was a document translated into Chinese, filled with pictures and text. On the cover, a line of large characters was prominently written—《"jia an no. 1" Dangerous Operation and Modification Prohibition White Paper》.

Liu Jianguo held this document and waved it in front of Li Jiajun, his eyes becoming extremely sharp. "Since you say you are the victim, then explain to me... what is going on with this thing?"
