51: Chapter 51 Jiang Yingxue's Pledge of Allegiance: I'll Cook Yuanxiao with Nuclear Fusion!

Su Che looked at the woman at the door.

She wore a black cashmere coat that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous, fiery figure.

This woman certainly had something special about her.

"Mr. Su?"

Seeing him stare at her without speaking, Jiang Yingxue's smile remained unchanged, though it carried a hint of playfulness.

Su Che snapped out of it and looked away.

"Come in."

He turned and walked into the house.

Jiang Yingxue clicked into the courtyard in her high-heeled ankle boots.

"Mr. Su is truly a dragon among men; even your home decor is so... unique."

Her gaze swept over the menacing laser cannon in the courtyard and the even more monstrous transforming mecha beside it.

She had seen these things countless times in videos and files.

But seeing them in person, the overwhelming violent aesthetic of steel and technology truly shocked her.

"It's nothing special, just something for the villagers to make do with."

Su Che replied casually.

"Su Che, who is this?"

Lin Waner walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of freshly cooked, steaming tangyuan. She froze when she saw Jiang Yingxue.

A woman's intuition made her instantly alert.

The woman before her was too beautiful and too aggressive.

That charm of a mature woman and the confidence of someone in a high position were things she lacked.

"Someone... who came to ask for some tangyuan." Su Che said offhandedly.

Lin Waner: "..."

Jiang Yingxue: "..."

"My name is Jiang Yingxue, Teacher Lin. We've spoken on the phone."

Jiang Yingxue took the initiative to extend her hand, her smile flawless.

"Hello."

Lin Waner put down the bowl, shook her hand lightly, and quickly let go.

She subconsciously leaned closer to Su Che, like a cat guarding its food.

Su Che ignored the undercurrents between the two women.

"You timed your visit well; you arrived just as the road opened!"

He picked up the bowl, blew on it, and ate a tangyuan.

Black sesame filling, very sweet.

"Meeting with you is always a priority, Mr. Su. I'm here to discuss a business deal."

Jiang Yingxue sat down at the table naturally, her gaze landing on the silver-gray briefcase Su Che had just finished.

"And, by the way, to offer a pledge of allegiance."

"A pledge of allegiance?"

Su Che raised an eyebrow.

"That's right."

Jiang Yingxue leaned forward slightly, the deep cleavage on her chest partially visible.

"John's investigation team is just a front."

"Their true purpose is to use their official status as cover, cooperating with another covert agent team to find the original 'Kunlun' data left by your grandfather."

"That sniper was sent by them."

Jiang Yingxue paused and continued.

"Their attitude toward you is: if they can't have you, they will destroy you!"

"However, they failed."

"And I can help you wipe out these flies in one fell swoop."

Su Che didn't speak, just quietly ate his tangyuan.

Jiang Yingxue had already mentioned some of this information on the phone a few days ago; it held no value for him.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Jiang Yingxue wasn't anxious.

She took a small USB drive from her Hermes bag and gently pushed it toward Su Che.

"Inside this are the profiles of all the members of that agent team, their hiding locations, and their next plan of action."

"In exchange, I hope Pan-Pacific Group can become the sole global agent for your future civilian technology."

The sole global agent?

This woman's appetite was not small.

Su Che finally put down his bowl and looked up at her.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because of this."

Jiang Yingxue pointed to the USB drive.

"And because of your technology, Mr. Su."

"I believe you definitely have a way to verify the authenticity of this intelligence."

"And..."

Jiang Yingxue smiled, with a hint of a businesswoman's cunning.

"The hardliners in our group, the faction supported by the Eagle military, have already listed you as a top-tier threat."

"Cooperating with me means standing with the pragmatists in our group."

"With us providing cover, you will have much less trouble in the future."

Su Che tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

It had to be said, this woman was very smart.

The conditions she offered were indeed very tempting.

But he didn't agree immediately; he just said something to Lin Waner beside him.

"Waner, since our guest has come to ask for tangyuan, go and get her a bowl too!"

Waner obediently left the studio and went to the kitchen to bring back a bowl of hot tangyuan.

"No rush, eat the tangyuan first, while it's hot!"

Su Che finished speaking and pushed the bowl of tangyuan a little further forward.

...

After the two of them finished the hot tangyuan.

Outside the window, the entire Su Family Village had plunged into darkness.

It was dark.

"It seems Su Family Village won't have power tonight. I'll have to leave soon!"

Jiang Yingxue said, her tone carrying a hint of regret.

"Su Che, I'll go get some candles."

Lin Waner said softly from the side.

"No need."

Su Che stood up.

He walked to the corner, picked up the plain-looking silver-gray briefcase he had just finished.

Under the puzzled gazes of Jiang Yingxue and Lin Waner.

He pulled a thick cable out of the case and plugged the other end directly into the main power socket on the wall.

He pressed a blue button on the side of the briefcase.

"Hum—"

An extremely faint, almost imperceptible humming sound rang out.

The next second.

The lights in the room suddenly lit up!

The light was even brighter than when they used the village power grid before!

"This..."

Jiang Yingxue stared at the glowing briefcase, calculating rapidly in her mind.

With such a small size, being able to provide such stable voltage and brightness—is it some kind of new supercapacitor? Or a military-grade chemical battery?

Su Che ignored her reaction.

He walked to the window, looked at the pitch-black village outside, and said to the briefcase calmly.

"Power output, fifty percent."

"Hum—!"

The humming of the briefcase grew slightly louder.

Outside the window.

With Su Che's house as the center, circles of light suddenly expanded outward!

The incandescent light in Auntie Wang's window next door lit up.

The lights in the Widow Li's house at the west end of the village lit up!

The lights at the village entrance grocery store also lit up!

Immediately after, the village committee, the threshing floor, every path, every household...

Within a few seconds.

The entire Su Family Village, all the lights, all the appliances, all resumed operation at the same time!

In the dark valley, a village was suddenly illuminated by thousands of lights!

Like a miracle!

The village erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

"Power's back! Power's back!"

"Su Che is awesome!"

Jiang Yingxue walked to the window, watching this magical scene, feeling like she couldn't understand this world anymore.

She turned back to look at the calm man and the silver-gray briefcase that was quietly outputting terrifying energy.

She finally understood.

The intelligence she brought, the conditions for business cooperation, were so laughable in front of this man.

He didn't need any agents at all.

He alone was the future.

Su Che turned to the side, looked at her pretty face filled with shock, and grinned.

"Now, we can continue our talk."

"Would you like another bowl of tangyuan cooked with a nuclear fusion power bank to try?"

Jiang Yingxue's body trembled.

Nu... Nuclear fusion power bank?

She looked at Su Che as if looking at a god who had traveled back from the future.

After a long while, she spoke with difficulty.

"Mr. Su, my previous proposal is void."

Her tone became unprecedentedly solemn.

"From today on, I, and the pragmatists behind me, are willing to do anything for you."

"At any cost."

"There is only one request."

"What is it?"

Jiang Yingxue looked into Su Che's eyes, word by word.

"We have caught glimpses of the 'Kunlun' project from some declassified files and know its ultimate goal... is beyond Earth."

"Please allow Pan-Pacific Group to become the first strategic partner to pave the way for you as you open that new era."
