Chapter 21 - 【021】 Li Guozhong's speculation

Old Wang originally had three sons.The eldest and second sons were both businessmen, while the youngest son joined the army as he wished.Excellent performance and brave in battle.He was unfortunately shot and killed during a mission to eliminate Somali pirates.Now, Li Guozhong says he wants his favorite granddaughter to join the army.What if I end up like the mistress?As soon as Li Guozhong finished speaking, he regretted it a little; he had long forgotten about this matter.I just blurted it out.Old Wang already has a son who sacrificed his life. If his granddaughter were to sacrifice hers as well, how would this 70-year-old man who dedicated his life to the country survive?"Haha, Mr. Wang, I was just joking...""Let her enlist!"Li Guozhong was about to find an excuse to skip the topic when Old Wang interrupted him."call--"Old Wang let out a long sigh and glanced out the window.Wang Yixue was skipping and hopping towards the reception hall, an ice pop dangling from her lips."With the military exercise just around the corner, it's too late for you to retrain the drivers now."" We have all witnessed Yixue's driving talent. Moreover, Yixue knows the creator of the mecha, so it will be easier to communicate in the future.""After much thought, she's the most suitable. But Li Guozhong, let me make this clear: if you let my precious granddaughter suffer even the slightest grievance, I'll beat you with a broom!"As he spoke, Old Wang's eyes widened."No, no!"Li Guozhong couldn't stop smiling; he looked just like a chrysanthemum."Haha, Old Wang, we've got a deal, no backing out!""What do you take me for? I'm a man of my word! But she'll be coming in soon, so you'll have to ask her opinion. As for her father, I'll talk to him.""good!"Wang Yixue pushed open the door and entered.Holding an ice pop in her hand, she exuded a refreshing and lively aura.Her moist eyes seemed to hold a handful of crushed stars, shimmering with tiny sparkles."hey-hey..."Li Guozhong rubbed his hands together and greeted him with a smile." Yixue, how does it feel to pilot a mecha?""Great, that's awesome!"Wang Yixue blurted it out.He then frowned slightly and looked at Li Guozhong."However, Uncle Li, your smile seems a bit lewd.""Cough cough cough..."Li Guozhong coughed twice quickly, straightened his back, and said seriously," Yixue, do you want to be able to pilot this mecha forever? And the government will take care of all the maintenance and repairs for you! When conditions are right, you might even be able to commute to work in the mecha every day!""Yes!" Wang Yixue's big, bright eyes widened."That's easy, just fill out a form and put your fingerprint on it!" Li Guozhong said casually.Old Wang, Old Man Hua, and a group of officers were all stunned.A voice echoed in everyone's minds: " Li Guozhong has no shame at all, just to trick young girls into joining the army!"Looking at Li Guozhong's expectant eyes.Wang Yixue smiled sweetly."Uncle Li, you want me to enlist as a mecha pilot, right? I'm willing to join the army!"Li Guozhong was stunned for a moment.He thought to himself that it was his overzealous act that had been somewhat despicable.No wonder they are descendants of Master Wang!We will dedicate ourselves to the country without hesitation.After a conversation, Wang Yixue's enlistment was finalized, and the special recruitment enlistment was scheduled for tonight.There's no other way. In Li Guozhong's words, the sooner the better. If it can be done now, then it can be done now!He would never let go of such a talented person!After discussing enlisting, Wang Yixue found a corner to sit down.At this moment, Li Guozhong suddenly said,"Old Wang, when I came back just now, you mentioned that the designer and manufacturer of this mecha was a college student welder that Yixue found online. I think there's something fishy about this!"Everyone, including Old Wang and Old Man Hua, looked over.Wang Yixue also looked at Li Guozhong with a puzzled expression.I wondered what could be so strange about this."Is it possible that when Yixue is browsing information online, his phone is actually being controlled, and no matter what he clicks, he will end up contacting Xu Fan?""In other words, Yixue's contact with Xu Fan was both accidental and inevitable!"At this point, Old Wang immediately asked Tong Yao, who was standing next to him."Is this even possible with hacking techniques?""It's possible, and… it would be very easy for Xu Fan to do."Tong Yao answered with a serious expression.Recalling what happened when I investigated Xu Fan's personal information, I couldn't help but laugh at myself.A master of that level would probably have already noticed it the moment she started investigating.She thought she had easily found out the other person's information.Trying to show off one's skills in front of Guan Yu? How laughable!Tong Yao agreed.Li Guozhong became even more determined in his decision.He continued, "The reason he did this was to donate the mecha he had painstakingly developed to the country in the most low-key way possible!""That can't be right. I'm the one who had him make the mecha, and it only took two days!" Wang Yixue suddenly interjected.Before Li Guozhong could speak, Tong Yao quickly explained,"There is indeed an element of coincidence in this, but even if what you commissioned to be made was an airplane tank, he would still have brought this mech to you. Anyway, all he has to do is control your phone and change the chat history to say that you made a typo."Tong Yao said that.Not only Wang Yixue, but also Old Man Hua felt that many parts matched up.Li Guozhong was deeply moved.My eyes inexplicably welled up with tears."What a fine young comrade! In this materialistic age, there are really not many people like him who do good deeds without seeking recognition!"Everyone nodded in agreement.The development of the Jiangtian No. 1 mecha is a monumental achievement.The honors and status one could gain by proactively revealing one's identity are simply unimaginable.But Xu Fan didn't care about these empty titles and material enjoyments at all.Who else could quietly hand over their mechs to the nation?Many officers felt ashamed and quietly lowered their heads."call--"Li Guozhong took a heavy breath and asked again." Yixue, how much did it cost in total to commission the construction of this mech?""It's 3 million in total. I've prepaid 1.5 million, and there's still 1.5 million left to pay," Wang Yixue replied earnestly, blinking his eyes."What an amazing, unassuming genius! I really don't know how to describe him!!"Li Guozhong sighed again.Everyone was puzzled.Wang Yixue also missed Li Guozhong's point and asked directly,"Uncle Li, does this prove anything?"Li Guozhong tilted his head back slightly, trying to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.He sighed."Even a genius would need to spend tens of millions to create such a powerful mecha."" Xu Fan must have scrimped and saved, sold everything he owned, and scraped together every penny to build that mecha, even incurring a debt of 3 million! That's why he quoted you 3 million; perhaps he just wanted to pay off his debts!""boom--"These words shocked everyone.My body couldn't help but sway.Xu Fan's unwavering spirit and noble image of serving the country and its people seemed to stand before everyone in a trance.Upright, proud, and fearless
