Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Sending the Plane
Shu Fei Research Institute, family quarters.
Director Shen Lingfei, after all, is getting older. Yesterday, he held a meeting in the institute and stayed up late checking materials, so he felt a bit of a headache upon waking up early this morning.
Accompanying some pickles, he ate a bowl of millet porridge made by the nanny. As he was pondering over the materials he checked yesterday, the phone placed not far away started ringing.
"Hmm?"
Shen Lingfei sharply raised his head, suddenly realizing something was off with the ringtone. It was the sound of the secure phone.
As the director of the Shu Fei Research Institute, he naturally owns two phones. One is for daily communication with relatives and friends, and the other is for work communication.
The one ringing now was the secure phone used for work communication.
Taking the phone delivered by the nanny, Shen Lingfei didn’t even look at the number and directly answered it casually.
"Hello! This is Shen Lingfei!"
On the other side, the nanny, who had already undergone a background check, consciously retreated and casually closed the door.
"Director! Something has happened! Someone delivered a big thing to our research institute!"
"What? A big thing?" Shen Lingfei furrowed his brow, "Old Liu, since when did you become so vague in your speech? What are you talking about?"
"Hehe!"
On the other end of the phone was Liu Zhenhua, the deputy director of the Shu Fei Research Institute. Normally, he was a person so calm that he seldom smiled, but now, across the phone, Shen Lingfei could imagine Liu Zhenhua’s smile.
"You should come quickly. Someone delivered an F35 to us."
"What did you say?" Shen Lingfei was even more puzzled.
"Hurry up, you’ll understand when you get here. I’m just notifying you, urging you to be quick."
Before Shen Lingfei could respond, the call was directly hung up, leaving behind Liu Zhenhua’s hearty laughter echoing in his ear.
Shen Lingfei: ???
"What’s that old Liu up to?"
Shen Lingfei was completely confused and had no idea what Liu Zhenhua’s words meant.
A big thing!
Someone delivered!
An F35!
Did someone deliver an F35 fighter jet from the Lighthouse Country to the Shu Fei Research Institute?
Haha! That’s a really funny joke!
Shen Lingfei shook his head and laughed, thinking that perhaps some department obtained some materials about the F35?
That would be the only explanation.
Without any urgency, knowing that Hua Country had long since achieved self-researched military technology, and that the F35’s technology from the Lighthouse Country would be a mere reference if obtained, Shen Lingfei leisurely drank another bowl of millet porridge, ate a red bean bun, and then took up the materials and calculation results he found last night, called for a driver, and headed to the Shu Fei Research Institute.
"Hmm?"
Just entering the gate, sitting in the back seat of the car, Shen Lingfei adjusted his glasses and asked curiously, "Why are there suddenly so many military personnel?"
The driver shook his head, "I don’t know, is there a leader coming to inspect today?"
"Wasn’t notified?" Shen Lingfei said with displeasure while frowning, "What’s happening? Why am I unaware?"
After all, he is the director of the Shu Fei Research Institute, and now suddenly there are so many people in the institute early in the morning, yet he knows nothing about it. Does this make sense?
The car stopped under the main building, and just as Shen Lingfei got out, Liu Zhenhua greeted him.
"Old Liu! What’s going on?" Shen Lingfei immediately asked.
"Why did you take so long? Come with me quickly!" Liu Zhenhua pulled Shen Lingfei and headed toward the backyard.
"What are you doing?" Shen Lingfei said while walking, "After finishing yesterday’s meeting, I had some new ideas. I checked the materials for half the night, did some calculations, and was ready to continue this morning. Where are you taking me?"
"Backyard basketball court!"
"Early in the morning, why are you playing basketball? Besides, when did you ever play baske... my goodness, what is that?"
Liu Zhenhua replied irritably, "F35! Didn’t I tell you on the phone?"
Shen Lingfei angrily said, "You said nonsense! How was I supposed to understand your vague words? And where did this thing come from?"
"How would I know! It was first discovered by the employees who came to work early to clean up!"
Before Liu Zhenhua could say more, Shen Lingfei excitedly jogged over to the fighter jet.
"It’s not complete? How was it cut by a laser cutter? Who on earth has such skills to get one back? And even thoughtfully provided a few missiles!"
Shen Lingfei mumbled as he wandered around, suddenly freezing and letting out an angry roar, "Which damned hand from an outside operation cut the avionics equipment right down the middle! This is outright destruction!"
...
"Ah-choo!"
Lu Zheng sneezed, "What’s going on? Is someone cursing me behind my back?"
Speaking of Lu Zheng, ever since mastering Qi Refining, he had been immune to all diseases and evil was warded off, the only case that could make him sneeze was someone casting a... curse!
Lu Zheng rubbed his nose.
"Sigh, such a pity. I wanted to try the hot pot in Shu Capital and see the Giant Panda. But it’s boring alone; I’ll come with Lin Wan during National Day next month."
Then he thought about that plane.
Lu Zheng smiled contentedly, "They will surely thank me... Ah-choo!"
...
Hai City.
Lu Zheng returned from his travels, his body still carrying the scent of Liu Qingyan.
He comfortably stretched his arms, changed out of ancient attire, then took a shower and dressed in modern clothing.
"Hey!"
The phone call brought Lin Wan’s slightly excited voice, "Lu Zheng! You’re back?"
"I’m back, where are you now?" Lu Zheng asked.
"On my way to work."
Lu Zheng blinked, finally remembering that today was not the weekend, "Alright, I just got home too. Have you been busy lately? How about lunch together?"
"Probably not possible. A foreign colleague is arriving this morning, and we might have lunch together."
"Oh? Another case?"
"Yes," Lin Wan said, "but this time, the suspect is in Hai City, so no need for a business trip."
"Tsk tsk, yet another financial case?"
"How do you know?"
"What other case could occur in Hai City besides financial cases? Surely it’s not about counterfeit goods, right?"
"Haha, almost similarly," Lin Wan laughed, "I won’t talk further, I’ve reached the office."
"Okay."
Lu Zheng replied, hung up the phone, and just as he stepped out, his phone pinged with a WeChat message.
"President Lu, is it convenient for a phone call?"
The message was from the owner of the Ten Thousand Ridges Ancient Sword Hall, Du Lin.
Lu Zheng casually dialed back.
"Hello, President Du?"
"Good morning, President Lu!" Du Lin greeted over the phone, "Does President Lu have free time today? How about having lunch together?"
"Does President Du have something in mind?"
"Nothing major, just organizing an event in the circle, planning to have some Full Armor Combat with the Japanese," Du Lin said.
"Full Armor Combat?"
"Yes, President Lu, you are also an enthusiast of ancient weaponry, and I heard from President Zhao that when you wield weapons, you exhibit great vigor. He entrusted me to ask you if you’re interested in participating." Du Lin said, "And of course, even if not participating, you could come and watch."
Lu Zheng blinked, suddenly becoming slightly interested.
