32: Chapter 32 Grandpa's "Kunlun" Plan! The National Security Bureau comes knocking, and their target is me!

Su Che took the kraft paper bag.

It was heavy.

Not physically, but with the weight of historical accumulation.

Captain Li Jun said nothing more, turned around, and vanished into the night.

Su Che returned to his studio.

Under the light, he tore open the seal of the document bag.

Inside was a stack of yellowed documents wrapped in special oil paper.

The top document was an investigative report on Ma Wenju, documenting his years of abusing his position to embezzle research funds and suppress dissent.

Su Che flipped through it briefly and went straight for the separately wrapped item at the bottom.

It was a notebook with a dark blue hard cover, its corners worn down to the cardboard underneath.

He opened the first page.

A line of vigorous, powerful handwriting in fountain pen caught his eye: Su Changshan.

Su Che's hand trembled uncontrollably.

He kept flipping through.

Inside were pages filled with incredibly complex formulas, rough diagrams, and vast amounts of experimental data records.

Much of the writing was blurred by age, but Su Che recognized it instantly.

It was an advanced concept regarding field theory and materials science that he had never seen before.

On the last page of the notebook, he saw two large characters circled in red ink: "Kunlun Alloy."

Beside it was a small note: A super-dense alloy material capable of achieving mass cancellation under a strong electric field.

This f***ing... this is Anti-gravity material!

The grayish-white powder he had found earlier was the remains of "Kunlun Alloy"!

This notebook was the research result of his grandfather, Su Changshan, from back then!

Su Che's brain worked at high speed.

He immediately mobilized the quantum computing framework in his mind, which rivaled a supercomputer, to begin reverse-engineering the encryption algorithms in the notebook.

A few minutes later, he restored several passages hidden between the lines, written in a special code.

"Ma Wenju intends to steal my 'Kunlun Alloy' data, colluding with overseas parties to exchange it for..."

"Particle weapon... blueprints... have been leaked..."

The handwriting stopped abruptly, as if written under extremely rushed and dangerous circumstances.

Su Che's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

Ma Wenju wasn't just committing academic plagiarism or framing others.

The bastard was also committing treason!

He had leaked military-grade "high-energy particle weapon" technology overseas!

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock sounded at the door.

Captain Li Jun had returned. He stood at the doorway without entering.

"Word just came from the capital. I've already emailed the recording you provided last time to the Ministry of State Security."

"They suggest that this new evidence you have should also be handed over to them."

"These matters fall under their jurisdiction. As long as the evidence is solid, Ma Wenju won't be able to escape."

Su Che closed the notebook and put it and the other documents back into the file bag.

"I understand."

He needed time to process all of this.

Grandfather wasn't dead.

Grandfather's research was "Kunlun Alloy," something capable of changing the world order.

And the traitor who stole all of this was now in Xuefeng City, lurking in the shadows like a poisonous snake.

...

The next morning.

Su Che had just slept in and finally got up to finish breakfast.

From the east end of the village, a shrill cry suddenly broke the silence of the night.

"Fire! Help, fire!"

"Someone come quickly! Uncle Su San's house is on fire!"

Su Che's expression changed, and he rushed out of the courtyard.

He saw that the roof of a tiled house at the east end of the village was billowing black smoke, the flames glaringly bright against the night.

The whole village was alarmed.

Villagers were rushing over in chaos, carrying buckets and washbasins.

Su Che ran over with the crowd.

The house on fire belonged to Su Lao San in the village.

The source of the fire was the simple earthen stove shed in his yard used for smoking cured meat.

The fire wasn't large, but the thick smoke was choking, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

Su Lao San and his wife were collapsed on the ground, wailing.

"My meat! The meat I've been smoking all day!"

"Damn it all! I only went to the field to pull a cabbage, how did it catch fire?!"

Su Pingan also rushed over, looked at the chaotic scene, and sighed.

"Sigh, it's the smoked meat causing trouble again."

"This is the third time this winter, right? Leaving a fire burning during the day while no one is home—it would be a miracle if something didn't happen."

The villagers worked together and quickly put out the fire.

Fortunately, only the meat-smoking shed burned, and the main house was unharmed.

But the cured meat and sausages that Su Lao San's family had worked so hard to prepare for the winter had all been smoked into charcoal, and a burnt smell permeated the air.

Su Che looked at the mess, watching Su Lao San's family huddled together crying.

He felt an indescribable irritability.

The national hatred and family vendetta were still unresolved, and now these trivial village matters were piling up one after another.

Just then, that familiar mechanical voice rang out in his mind again.

[Ding! New livelihood demand detected, main mission triggered!]

[Mission Name: Have a Safe, Happy, and Delicious New Year!]

[Mission Content: Choking smoke is a hazard for the New Year! Out-of-control flames are the villagers' tears! Please develop a smart smokeless smoking device so that every household can safely enjoy the gifts of the New Year's flavor!]

[Mission Reward: 200 skill points, unlock [Quantum Thermal Radiation] primary exchange privilege, requires 100 exchange points.]

[Current accumulated skill points: 130. Do you wish to exchange?]

Su Che glanced at the mission panel.

It was another one of these missions to solve livelihood pain points.

His head was full of "Kunlun Alloy" and particle weapons; he was in no mood to mess around with some smoked meat contraption.

But looking at the villagers' miserable faces, his anger inexplicably dissipated.

Forget it.

No matter how big the issue, nothing is bigger than the New Year.

"Exchange." He thought silently.

[Ding! Consumed 100 skill points, unlocked [Quantum Thermal Radiation] primary exchange privilege.]

[System Prompt: You can use [Fruit and Vegetable Woodchip Molecular Atomization Technology] to simulate traditional smoking effects while retaining authentic flavor. Required skill points: 20. Do you wish to exchange?]

"Exchange!" Su Che didn't hesitate.

[Ding! Consumed 20 skill points, [Fruit and Vegetable Woodchip Molecular Atomization Technology] exchanged.]

[Current accumulated skill points: 10.]

With the technology in hand, Su Che turned to head back to the studio.

He had to get this damn thing made before the New Year.

He had just reached the gate of his courtyard.

A black Hongqi sedan with ordinary civilian license plates pulled up silently in front of him.

Two people got out of the car.

A man and a woman, both wearing black trench coats, with serious expressions and sharp eyes.

The leading man walked straight up to Su Che and pulled a red ID card from his pocket.

He opened the ID, and the gold-stamped national emblem glittered in the winter sun.

"Comrade Su Che?"

"We are from the Ministry of State Security."
