135: Chapter 135 The Military Leader's Crisis: Foresight

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Ting returned as well.

Hearing that Chen Feng wanted to buy a larger manor, she couldn't help but become interested. "I heard there's an auction in Beihu City tomorrow, and there just happens to be a manor up for auction."

"Really?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

He had seen auctions on television and in novels before, but he had never actually experienced such a scene himself.

Yun Ting smiled and said, "This manor was built by a wealthy businessman a while back. He invested fifty or sixty million into it at the time and spent two years completing it."

"It caused quite a stir in Beihu back then; after all, manor-villas of this scale and built with such heavy investment are rare."

"Later, that businessman ran into trouble with his business, and his capital chain broke. With no funds for turnover, he had no choice but to sell the manor!"

"Sold? Then why is it being auctioned now?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

Yun Ting sighed and said, "The manor spans over five thousand square meters, just a little smaller than a football field, and its location is excellent. The backyard of the manor is near a body of water, earning it the title of a seaside villa!"

"However, the area is just too large, and it's not very convenient to maintain. Just think about it—an average family has at most four or five people; living in such a large manor is just too wasteful. The later buyer regretted it too, so they wanted to put it up for auction!"

"I see!" Chen Feng understood the logic.

If it weren't for wanting the Little One to have more space to move around, he wouldn't be willing to buy such a large manor. After all, the current villa was already quite big.

In truth, what Chen Feng valued most was the body of water behind the manor. It would be perfect for the Pterosaur to fly over!

He would go to the auction tomorrow to take a look!

"I'll send you the address later. If you want to go, you'll have to go yourself; I'm quite busy tomorrow." Yun Ting puffed out her impressive chest.

She seemed to be in a very good mood today. She went upstairs to change clothes. "Yanyan, didn't you want to learn how to swim? I have time today, so I'll teach you."

"Huh?" Shang Yanyan was stunned for a moment. There was a swimming pool inside the villa. Judging by what she meant, she would be teaching in the pool behind the villa, which meant she would have to wear a swimsuit. Oh my god!

Just the thought of wearing a revealing swimsuit in front of Chen Feng made her cheeks flush red.

"What's wrong? Don't want to learn?" "Learn, I'll learn..."

Shang Yanyan gritted her teeth. Sister Yun was there anyway, so what was there to fear?

Soon, both of them had changed into swimsuits. They were wearing skirted swimsuits, tied with a ribbon at the waist. Although they didn't look very revealing, their fair, smooth legs and the snow-white skin beneath their necks were partially visible, making them even more alluring.

Especially Yun Ting's 32D size...

Shang Yanyan was naturally quite sexy. After entering the water, the transparency of the skirted swimsuit became even more apparent, making Chen Feng involuntarily swallow hard.

At this moment, the system suddenly popped up a prediction video.

"Border conflict intensifies, War Department members fight bravely in preparation, the Head of the War Department is in mortal danger..."

The whole scene was chaotic, as if two forces were engaged in battle. From the subtitles on the side, Chen Feng realized that war had broken out at the border. A major battle had erupted, many people were fighting, and quite a few had already died on the scene; smoke and fire were everywhere.

Although modern technology was highly advanced, in many cases, the conflicts did not use high-lethality weapons, relying only on guns and ammunition.

Chen Feng's gaze followed the images in the video, and finally, he saw a figure. The Head of the War Department!

Shangguan Yue was wearing a black combat suit, somewhat resembling an alloy battle armor, but the material appeared to be made from the first generation of Dark Metal products. Her beautiful hair draped over her shoulders, and she held a black dagger in her hand! She looked like a queen!

Her strength was immense; with every movement, she could kill an enemy in front of her. Her existence seemed to be the hope of the War Department.

Just as she had killed someone, her body suddenly trembled. A sharp pain surged through her, nearly causing her to collapse to the ground.

"Hm?" Chen Feng possessed miraculous Medical Skills. He was highly proficient in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine, so even through the screen, he could still detect that the other person's body seemed to have some chronic illness. It would flare up from time to time!

Just now, her chronic illness had flared up! There could be no mistakes on the battlefield, especially when one was in the midst of killing enemies.

Sure enough! Several enemies in front seized this opportunity and swarmed toward Shangguan Yue.

"Bang!" A bullet struck Shangguan Yue. Then, a dagger stabbed her...

The video ended there, and Chen Feng felt extremely heavy-hearted. Even if she didn't die, being severely injured in this situation meant she was doomed.

Chen Feng checked the time. Thankfully! The predicted time was ten days away! The future could be changed!

He hurriedly called Zhang Tianxiang of the War Department. When he received the call from Chen Feng, Zhang Tianxiang was very surprised.

He laughed and said, "Little Chen, thanks to your help, we have now produced the first batch of first-generation products. We integrated Dark Metal into the combat suit. Although it doesn't count as an alloy battle armor, the strength of the combat suit has improved significantly! The first batch of combat suits has already been sent to the border, and it should be in the hands of the Head of the War Department by now!"

"Minister Zhang!" Chen Feng interrupted him directly, took a deep breath, and asked, "Is war about to break out at the border?"

"Hm?" Zhang Tianxiang frowned sharply. The border had indeed been turbulent recently, with small-scale conflicts appearing a few times, but they were quickly resolved, and the impact wasn't very significant.

However, some changes seemed to have occurred yesterday, and regional combat was very likely to happen. This was also why he was so anxious to develop the first generation of Dark Metal products!

What surprised Zhang Tianxiang was that the War Department had never leaked this news, mainly to stabilize the hearts of people within China. Even Professor Qin and the others who were conducting research at the War Department didn't know. Yet Chen Feng actually knew! Could he have guessed it?

"Little Chen, I hope you can keep the border situation confidential. There have indeed been some changes, and there is a high possibility of small-scale combat..."

"Minister Zhang, let me ask you one more thing: is there something wrong with the health of the Head of the War Department?"

"Hm?" Zhang Tianxiang's expression changed drastically. "Little Chen, who did you hear that from?"

This matter was an absolute secret! In the War Department, only a few of Shangguan Yue's most trusted confidants knew, and the rest were completely unaware. After all, the Head of the War Department was the faith of the War Department! She was also the main force guarding the border; with her stationed at the border, the enemy dared not invade. Once people knew that the Head of the War Department had health problems, it would lead to a major disaster!

"Minister Zhang, don't worry about who told me for now. If a battle breaks out at the border in ten days, you must not let the Head of the War Department go to the battlefield. Her chronic illness will flare up on that day, and it will cost her her life!"
