Chapter 124
After that day, the two of them were able to open up more.
The relationship was naturally a lot closer, but in the end, there was no confession, and there was no clear label yet.
Thinking of this, it reminded Lu Bo Ting of Bai Zihan and Senator Yan.
If it werenât for them, he would have come to a conclusion with Shi Nian that day.
Those people are reallyâ¦really good at picking the right time to do things.
âHowâs the interrogation going?â Lu Bo Ting asked, âHave you found any new leads at the amusement park yet?â
âItâs true that there was a destroyed communication device there, and itâs been sent to be restored. But itâs badly damaged, so it may not be successful. â Xue Chi said immediately.
Those five people had only used one device, and after it was destroyed, it was even thrown into the pool of the amusement park.
Their people had a hard time finding it and fishing it out.
âTry to recover it. There might be evidence of their contact with Senator Yan inside. â
âDonât stop on the interrogation side either, we have to find out who ordered them.â
Deputy Xue nodded, thinking, âCall yourselves black fans? Without even ever scolding Mr. Shi on their accounts, these five people dare to pretend to be black fans. â
While he was thinking, his light brain rang, and he saw that it was from Marshal Kangâs side. The two sides had recently been in contact about the space steel, what shape it would be made into, and how the legion logo on it would be branded. If the other side had taken the initiative to communicate, it would only be because they wanted to increase the number.
âIâm sorry, Iâm just an adjutant. I donât know about that and I canât make any decisions. â Xue Chi took the call and walked out, saying.
âAnd whatâs the hurry? It will be the first supply when it is produced. Our own legion will get first, then you and the Yue family, and then the emperorâs side. We are starting with a few, but gradually, there will always be more. Donât worry, okayâ¦â
âIâve already given it to you before, and to be honest, the Emperorâs order is behind yours. Thereâs no way to go any faster. After all, this stuff is machine-made, but itâs impossible to produce enough in one night, not so. â
Apart from the Empire, even other countries had contacted them to ask about the export of space steel.
Fortunately, Adjutant Xue didnât need to worry about these. There was naturally someone specialized in this area to communicate this issue.
At this time, Shi Nianâs lottery on Starnet also came to fruition. He sent out a space steel pendant with a koi design on it, meaning that the person was lucky.
However, he didnât know yet that the personâs luck wasnât good only this time.
She had also drawn the long-haired potion earlier.
This time she was so happy to win the Space Steel that she opened a live stream to show everyone.
She also used the long hair potion and the seven-colored hair potion Shi Nian had made earlier. Her long hair was flowing, changing colour from time to time with her mood.
Of course, everyone was more concerned about the space steel dangling in her hand, as this person was engaging in some kind of magic. Of course, the tricks were all phony; whereas other magicians used their hands and props, she used space steel.
Look, the bag is empty, right? Take a short breath, and out comes a bag of chips.
The âmagicâ was nothing new, and everyone knew how it worked without having to break it down. But because of the spatial steel, the broadcast room was flooded with people.
âWhen will I be able to get my hands on some space steel?â
âI used to think it was okay to be blacklisted. Because, even if I wasnât, Iâd not get to win the lottery, and I wouldnât necessarily get drawn either. Now⦠I just want to say that if Dad gives me another chance, let me draw, just for a bit, in case the lucky winner is me.â
âSeeing Space Steel, I hate those who only think about plotting against Shi Nian all day long. I hate them even more. â
âYou canât trust yourself, but you can always trust my brother Shi. If he doesnât invent, itâs okay. But when he does, he challenges the ceiling of the industry. â
Of course, there were also people who rushed to Yan Nuoâs page, saying that she was really ugly and unworthy, and that she had committed attempted murder.
Of course, Yan Nuo herself could no longer see this. It was impossible to let her surf Starnet in prison..
She had never had such a life; no freedom, no fancy clothes, no cosmetics and jewellery, and only cold robots around her.
She had been asking to see Senator Yan, trying to get her father to get her out.
She finally met the man, but was instead severely scolded by Senator Yan.
However, Shi Nian and Lu Bo Ting, who had seen the video, knew that while it was true that Senator Yan was angry and scolding, he was also trying to use the scolding to dump the pot on his daughter.
âLook at this kind of hatred. How can you be so stupid? Who told you to do this? Did I raise you badly? Did I teach you to harm peopleâ¦..â
Yan Nuo was frozen, and it was only at this point that she realized the seriousness of the situation.
She yelled, âDidnât the person survive and we didnât succeed?  Why are you detaining me? Iâm from the Federation, not your Empire. Why are you holding me? Dad help me, you help me â¦â¦â
However, no one paid any attention to her. Only the robot warned her as she rushed to the door, âMs. Yan, please step back and do not attempt to escape from the prison.â
âThe prison doors and windows are specially made. With your hand strength, you wonât be able to whack them in a hundred years. â
Yan Nuo almost died of anger at this broken robot.
She didnât want to break out of prison, even the stupidest person knew it couldnât work!
âWhere are the living people? Are there no living people?â The robot became like a retard; it couldnât communicate.
âWhere are the humans?â
âMs. Yan, please donât discriminate against robots. In some technical sense, we can be considered living people too.â
ââ¦â¦â
Bai Zihan was certainly no better than she was. He had no one to visit him, even if he was on the outside.
The Bai family couldnât wait to have nothing to do with him. People like Wu Chao Yi and the councilor, who knew about it, only said, âStupid people really canât do anything.â
The person next to him could not help but say, âYou are not stupid, yet you have not achieved anything. Otherwise, you, yourselves, are actuallyâ¦.. Oh, I see. â
He was actually calling himself stupid. There are still people in the world who have such âself-knowledge!â
Wu Chao Yi was so angry. If it were in the past, who would dare throw shade towards them?
However, now that they were in this situation, even though they had not yet been sentenced, everyone knew that they would be better off dead, and that they would never get out of detention.
Naturally, there was no more room to threaten and intimidate these people.
The dust had settled for them, but Senator Yan was still in a hurry over there.
Xue Chi and the others were also anxious to find evidence to convict him.
It was at this point that Yan Hualinâs call came in.
Lu Bo Ting picked it up and asked, âWhatâs up?â
âDonât look at me. I didnât want to make this call either.â
The domineering Mr. Yan opened his mouth and said, âItâs the elders at home Your aunt, uncle, and grandfather are all very concerned about your relationship status and want to know if youâve confessed your love to Shi Nian. â
âThey said that the younger generation always dislikes the nagging of the elders, so the job was passed to me.â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
âTsk, they do not know that the younger generation does not mind the elders nagging and would be happy if the nagging was something like,â son, you lack money. The family has decided to give you a few million. â
Lu Bo Ting couldnât stand it anymore. âIâm not short of money.â
âItâs an example.â Yan Hua Lin said, âAnyway, whatâs the answer? I have to go back to report it. â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
He really knows how to stab where it hurts. This cousin is not to be wanted.
âDonât look at me like that. We are also doing it for your own good. There are two months before New Yearâs Eve, so when the time comes, will he stay at your house for New Yearâs Eve dinner without a label? Is that appropriate? â
âLater on, after the New Year, we will have to get together as a family, right? Iâm not sure how you will introduce him to people. Hello everyone, this is the boyfriend I havenât caught yet?â
âThe generals and lieutenants in the Lu familyâs army will also come to pay New Yearâs greetings. When that time comesâ¦â
Lu Bo Ting couldnât listen any more and directly hung up.
But although the overbearing president nagged a bit, what he said was actually still very reasonable.
He still had to think of a way⦠They canât go to the amusement park again as heâs been busy recently, but he still has to think of a good way to get the boy to let loose.
They had obviously kissed more than once, and the boyâs problem had been discussed, but there is a lack of a formal confession.
Lu Bo Ting was muttering about this problem the whole way home.
When he arrived home, Shi Nian had already returned and was eating something.
When he got closer, he realized that it was a dragonâs beard candy, which was made with distinctive roots and strands, and Shi Nian was eating it to his heartâs content.
Mrs. Lu followed suit and tasted a piece, saying, âDelicious.â
âDelicious, isnât it?â Shi Nian said, âSomeone in my classmateâs family has this skill, so they made it and gave it to everyone to try. I heard him say that itâs made into small pieces, and they are so thin and smooth that one can just split a few and eat them. â
He thought, âIâll see if I can try to make it myself.â He had a feeling that this dragonâs beard pastry would become his favorite snack from now on.
Lu Bo Ting sat down and glanced at it once, then twice, âA gift from a classmate?â Was it a male or female classmate? â
Mrs. Lu was wiping her hands and looked up at him when she heard the words.
Shi Nian also stopped his hands that were exploring the dragon beard pastry and said, âboss, are you â¦â¦ are you jealous of the male or female classmates ah?â
He could talk about female classmates, after all, this was a lesson from the past. The small purse incident was a blatant example.
But you want to say you are now also jealous of the male classmates? But then again, his sexual orientation was male, so werenât the female students less worrisome?
Mrs. Lu looked at this and that, and asked the old marshal next to her in a small voice, âArenât the students in Shi Nianâs class all guides?â
âYes, they are all guides.â Shi Nian was laughing over there.
Last time, Lu Bo Ting was saying in a serious manner that it was not good to receive things from girls. What a fart! He was just jealous and pretended to be righteous.
Facing these two big Buddhas in the family, what else could Lu Bo Ting do?
He could only say, dryly, âI was just asking.â
âOh, so it was just a casual question!â Mrs. Lu said, âI thought it was because you were eating vinegar.â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
Lu Bo Ting looked helplessly and finally turned to his dad, âDad, isnât it time to start dinner?â
After dinner, Shi Nian and Lu Bo Ting went upstairs. Shi Nian habitually released the little phoenix, and Lu Bo Ting also summoned his own quantum beast.
Shi Nian glanced at it, then couldnât help but glance at it again.
Lu Bo Ting was rejoicing in his hear, but on the surface, his face was calm and carefree. âWhatâs wrong?â
Want to pet the dragon?
âLook at the dragonâs beard.â He heard Shi Nian say, âItâs much thicker than the dragonâs beard candy just now. It seems that the name is not realistic enough! â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
This kid really knows how to raise the roof.
But just as he thought earlier, Shi Nian was not just anyone. You canât even get a hold of him if he doesnât want you to.
Like now, he slipped away so fast after leaving a statement that said,
âItâs been a long time since Iâve had a good fight. Get in the game. If I win, you have to promise to be my boyfriend. â
Marshal Lu was stunned on the spot.
For a moment, there was only one thought in his mind: there was still such a good thing in the world!
With Shi Nianâs current strength, Lu Bo Ting was not really sure who would win in a fair fight. At least, he was not sure that one game would determine the winner.
But if he wanted Shi Nian to win, then it would be so easy!
He went back to the game room, got in the game, and quickly started the first battle.
Then, unsurprisingly, he lost.
Shi Nian: âBoss, you should have acted a little bit better. How can you just collapse?
Lu Bo Ting said, âIâm afraid that you will suddenly change your mind and make yourself to fall even faster than me.â
âI canât, boss. Youâre too much of a vegetable nowadays.â Shi Nian got a chance to tease, and he cheerfully ran to Lu Bo Ting, âSee, I told you to stop staying up late into the night. Look at the fight just now; you could not even hold up for three movesâ¦..â
He teased for awhile and finally sighed, âBut who made me like this? Fine, you can continue pretending! â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
After that, Shi Nian was very satisfied with his performance.
He âwonâ the next battles over and over again, and was very happy, âOkay, I havenât finished my dragon beard pastry. Iâm going offline to eat it.â
Lu Bo Ting did not object and followed suit himself, getting offline.
Then, without saying a word, he got out from his game pod and went directly to Shi Nianâs game room. He dug the person out and carried him.
â What are you doing?â
âDid you not want to eat dragon beard candy? I am taking you to eat real âdragon beardâ candy.â
Shi Nian: ââ¦â¦â
Shi Nian:â⦠Fuck!â
This guy is obviously inexperienced too, so how come heâs so good at this?
He had learned so much theory that day, and he should have been able to flirt with Lu Bo Ting with ease, but why was he so flustered?
Is it not a matter of knowledge mastery, but a matter of talent?
Itâs like he has all the skill points focused on the art of flirtation, but they are zeroed out by talent.
