Chapter 189 Li Jiajun stood up for himself, Uncle Liu! You have to take the blame for this!

In the conference room in the Imperial Capital, Liu Jianguo's wild laughter was still echoing, but his drive hadn't diminished at all.

Since he knew who the real culprit was, and knew that his project had actually been over-completed, what was he waiting for?

He had to leave for Baishui City immediately, right now, at top speed!

It wasn't just to requisition the technology, but to see with his own eyes how that kid, whom he viewed as a troublemaker, had actually turned those parameters that made him go bald into steel monsters that dominated on the battlefield.

Thus, a few hours later.

At the main gate of Li Family Toy Factory.

A convoy of off-road vehicles with military license plates, kicking up dust, screeched to a halt there.

The doors opened, and Liu Jianguo jumped out, taking the lead.

Although he had been traveling all the way, his energy was shockingly good now; his face was glowing, he walked with a spring in his step, and there was no trace of that half-dead look from before.

Following behind him was a large group of top Experts from the Ordnance Industry Group and the Automation Research Institute.

Those Old Experts had watched the video and parameter analysis on the plane, and now their eyes were shining, a look that made one's skin crawl.

"Let's go! Into the factory!"

Liu Jianguo waved his hand and led the crowd as they stormed into the factory area aggressively.

Meanwhile, inside the factory manager's office.

Li Jiajun was sitting in the boss's chair, looking at the overwhelming news of Israel's protests on his phone, cold sweat covering his forehead.

It's over.

This time, it's really blown up.

"How did those robot dogs... end up on the battlefield?" he thought to himself.

"And they even beat up their regular army?"

Just as he was in a state of panic, the roar of car engines and noisy footsteps came from downstairs.

Through the window, he saw Liu Jianguo's face; although he was smiling, to him, it looked like he was here to make an arrest, along with the group of aggressive Experts behind him.

Li Jiajun's heart contracted sharply.

"They're here!"

"Uncle Liu has brought people to hold me accountable!"

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"No, I can't panic."

But then, he blinked. Wait, that's not right. He really didn't need to panic, after all, those were the parameters that Uncle Liu Jianguo had sent him, right?

Thinking of this, Li Jiajun puffed out his chest, crossed his arms, and looked extremely aloof.

Bang!

The office door was pushed open violently.

Liu Jianguo rushed in with a gust of wind, followed by a huge crowd of people, instantly filling the spacious office to the brim.

Then, Liu Jianguo paused.

He saw Li Jiajun maintaining that arms-crossed posture, staring at him coldly.

Huh? What's up with this kid today?

Usually at this time, shouldn't he have already pounced over to hug his leg, crying and shouting, "Uncle Liu, I'm innocent!" or "I'm a law-abiding citizen!"?

Why does he have such an accusatory expression today? Has this kid gone rogue?

"Damn it, you old man, you finally arrived. You've ruined me too." Li Jiajun wanted to strike first, so he scolded the other party coldly.

However, before he could actually say those words, he saw the massive formation of people, the stars and bars on their shoulders dizzying to look at.

Thinking about how high-ranking his Uncle Liu was—a real big shot—he didn't dare to put on airs anymore.

That "I'm the boss" attitude didn't even last a second before it instantly collapsed.

He sprang up from his chair, the aloof expression on his face instantly melting away, replaced by a miserable face as if he had been terribly wronged.

However, he still chose to strike first.

Before Liu Jianguo could speak, he reached out, pointed at Liu Jianguo, and shouted his grievances in a particularly wronged and sad tone, with a sobbing voice:

"Uncle Liu! This isn't my fault! This was completely the direction you pointed out! Everything you asked me to produce, I followed the parameters you gave me!"

This shout was full of vigor and had great penetrating power, stunning Liu Jianguo who had just entered.

The office instantly fell silent.

The air even seemed to freeze.

The group of Experts following behind Liu Jianguo, who had been looking around for the miraculous vehicle, stopped in their tracks upon hearing this.

Dozens of eyes were suddenly fixed on Liu Jianguo.

Their gazes were complicated, filled with shock, confusion, and a sense of 'so you were the mastermind all along.'

An Old Expert pushed up his glasses, looked at Liu Jianguo, and asked in a strange tone: "Director Liu... is... is this true?"

"So, after all this time, this unauthorized export of military robot technology to armed groups was... directed by you personally?"

These words drew the attention of all the Experts to Liu Jianguo.

Everyone looked at Liu Jianguo, thinking that this old guy was really asking for trouble.

Liu Jianguo was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at Li Jiajun, the corners of his mouth twitching crazily.

'This kid is passing the buck to me?'

'Me?'

'The direction I pointed out?'

'When did I ever tell you to sell this thing to armed groups? When did I ever tell you to build something so perverted?'

He felt a mouthful of blood welling up in his chest, almost spitting it out.

"Bullshit!" Liu Jianguo roared in exasperation, "When did I ever give you parameters? I was letting you..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly choked.

Because he saw Li Jiajun nimbly pull out his phone, pull up the chat history, and shove the screen into his face.

"Uncle Liu, see for yourself! The evidence is conclusive!" Li Jiajun pointed righteously at the file transfer record on the screen.

"Last month, did you send this to me or not? The file name is 'Technical Parameters and Tactical Indicators for Quadruped Intelligent Combat Platforms.' This name sounds so high-end, I thought you were asking me to build a high-tech toy!"

In ancient times there was the Sino-US reconciliation; now there is the uncle-nephew reconciliation.

Liu Jianguo looked at the familiar file name, then at the sending time.

His pupils contracted sharply.

He suddenly remembered.

That day... he was overwhelmed by tasks from his superiors and was extremely annoyed by this kid's harassment calls.

He had originally intended to send the file to the Chief Engineer, Old Zhang.

But because of a slip of the hand... or perhaps because he was distracted...

Liu Jianguo looked at the sending record and finally understood what had happened.

It must have been that, feeling somewhat irritable, he had inexplicably sent the file to the wrong person.

And after sending it, he had even blocked the kid!

Liu Jianguo felt a boom in his head.

The truth was revealed: it was a blunder assist by Liu Jianguo himself.

He had personally handed the technical parameters to this evil genius, and then this kid had actually turned the blueprints into reality!

The so-called 'Uncle Liu pointing the way' was actually true!

Liu Jianguo's old face instantly turned the color of liver.

He looked at the increasingly strange, even admiring gazes of the surrounding Experts, which seemed to say, 'Director Liu, you are playing a really big game,' and he was speechless to the extreme.

'How do I explain this?'

'Say I'm old and senile and sent it to the wrong person? That would be even more embarrassing!'

"Ahem..." Liu Jianguo coughed awkwardly, trying to cover up his social death scene.

He glared fiercely at Li Jiajun and whispered through gritted teeth: "Fine... you win, kid. But that's still no reason for you to sell it to armed militants!"

Seeing Liu Jianguo's reaction, Li Jiajun knew he had bet correctly.

The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

'So Uncle Liu really did send it to the wrong person?'

'Since you sent it by mistake, you have responsibility too!'

Li Jiajun felt he had the moral high ground and stood even straighter.

He spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "Uncle Liu, you can't wrong me here. I had no idea about this. You know, I sell a lot of these robot dogs; who knows how they bought them? Ignorance is no crime, right?"

Ignorance is no crime; they can't blame me for this now.

Besides. Heaven is my witness, he actually didn't know what was going on either.
