Chapter 77 The Gift from Yin Manshu

 

“What?” Jiang Shaoliu was stunned, he looked at Lin Yuetao and felt a little puzzled.

Why didn’t Lin Yuetao agree with him?

“Shaoliu.” Lin Yuetao said seriously: “Those three great powers have existed in Yungang city since the great changes. They may have done something bad, but they are also the reason so many citizens can live in such dangerous world. Generally speaking, it’s better to have them here since they have contributed to Yungang, the province, and even the country as a whole.”

Jiang Shaoliu shook his head: “Mr. Lin, I cannot forgive them for the matters related to Liangduan Mountain, since they will cause endless trouble in the future.”

“But, everything is in stable condition currently in Yungang city and there is no need to cause any more setbacks because of this.” Lin Yuetao said with sincerity: “Shaoliu, please take my advice and don’t do this, we should take the best interests of the whole city into account.”

“Mr. Lin.” Jiang Shaoliu shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said: “You mean that I should condone their bad behavior because they can make more contributions? This is not a good enough reason to persuade me.”

Shaking his head, Lin Yuetao replied: “We need to take action when they go too far, but we have to take the interest of the whole into account. What’s more, you are an influential person in Yungang and the entire country, and it’s not a good idea for you to fight with them at this time.”

Jiang Shaoliu had to smile but Lin Yuetao was a little worried, he had a bad feeling about all of this.

“But they are already going too far.” He smiled and waved to Lin Yuetao: “You’re right to think about taking the interests of the whole into account. I also appreciate that you are thinking about me, however, I don’t care about my reputation. They have to bear the consequences when they do something wrong, and so I must do this now.”

As he said this, he walked out of the living room and shouted at the monkey king who was playing in the pool: “Let’s go, king.”

“Wait.” Lin Yuetao ran out behind Jiang Shaoliu.

“What is it?” Said Jiang Shaoliu as he turned back and frowned.

“I cannot help you without an order from my superior.” Lin Yuetao looked at Jiang Shaoliu hopelessly: “I will not comment when you insist on fighting, but let me remind you of one thing, it’s about Gangxin and Hongfa…”

Ding ding ding…

His smartwatch rang before he could finish his words.

“Who is this?” The line connected and Lin Yuetao spoke very fast, he seemed a little surprised and looked at Jiang Shaoliu: “It’s from the soldier outside the villa, Yin Manshu has sent someone here with gifts and they are requesting to enter now.”

Jiang Shaoliu blinked as he heard this.

Was this true? Why would Yin Manshu send a gift to him since she was such a touchy person? Besides, she must be infinitely resourceful to have already prepared the gifts ahead when they had only just arrived at the villa.

“Do you want them to come?” Lin Yuetao asked him: “According to what the soldier told me, the products are loaded on two heavy trucks and apparently the products are so heavy they’ve already damaged the tires!”

Jiang Shaoliu muttered to himself and nodded: “All right, let’s check first.”

“Ok.” Lin Yuetao raised the smartwatch and gave the order: “Let them in.”

Soon after, two trucks arrived at the villa and stopped in front of the pool. One member from the Gangxing special service unit walked up to Jiang Shaoliu and Lin Yuetao. He saluted them and said: “Doctor Jiang and Mr. Lin, my name is Zhang Shunli, I’ve brought gifts for you from Miss. Yin.”

“This all sounds good.” Lin Yuetao smiled and said: “Yin Manshu sent you here to give her best wishes, right?”

Zhang Shunli smiled and shook his head: “Yes, I think so.”

After glancing at him, Jiang Shaoliu turned to look at the truck, one of the tires was broken and deformed quite seriously, just as Lin Yuetao had said. It was almost falling off due to the hard ground. 

The other truck seemed normal, everyone was wearing war helmets and was in full combat gear, they didn’t get off the truck.

“Doctor Jiang.” Zhang Shunli took out a pen with a recording device, a flash drive, and a manual book, then handed them to Jiang Shaoliu: “Miss. Yin said that you saved her twice on Liangduan Mountain, and the former resentment has been cleared, now she’s prepared such gifts in thanks for your help.”

Jiang Shaoliu almost wanted to grin.

What a smarty-pants she was, he had wanted to get even with her while she wanted to cancel their duel?

“Miss. Yin recorded what she wanted to say in the pen, I don’t know what is stored on the flash drive, you’ll need to check on the computer. Now let me hand over the gifts from the truck.” Zhang Shunli waved and the two transport personnel pressed some buttons and the side doors opened.

In the truck was a set of alloy equipment shinning with a cold metal glow on the surface, as well as four alloy claw sleeves and two huge alloy braces. They were flickering on the surface and all of them were very sharp. There were also a pair of saddles which were two meters high and three meters long covered with a transparent shield and various handle buttons, showing a great sense of science and technology 

“This is a combat suit for your white tiger.” Zhang Shunli told them: “The claw sleeves and braces were made with super sensing alloy that can adjust automatically according to the size of the white tiger’s claws and tusks, they can repair themselves. You don’t need to worry about scratches since they were made with the most advanced technology from the Gangxing Group.”

As he said this, Zhang Shunli pointed to the saddle and spoke to Jiang Shaoliu: “The cover is retractable and can resist three attacks from common rocket bombs, the inducement missiles equipped below can act as an initial defense for those tracking missiles. You can refer to that manual for details.”

Jiang Shaoliu nodded, he felt a little shocked and contemplative.

The Gangxing Group was definitely the leading steel enterprise in Yungang city and had advanced research and development on alloy technology. However, did Yin Manshu mean to say that her group was so strong that he should not provoke them through these gifts?

“I will take these.” Jiang Shaoliu thought for a while and pointed at the saddle: “Put them on Xiao Bai, it’s also a good idea for traveling when I’m sitting with Xiaoyun.”

Seeing this, Lin Yuetao smiled and said: “It really troubled Yin Manshu, but she always likes to show her appreciation.”

Then he pointed at the other armored car and said to Jiang Shaoliu: “Now look at this here.”

The crane reached out slowly, took some cuboid shock-reducing rubber and put it down in front of Jiang Shaoliu and Lin Yuetao.

“What’s this?” Jiang Shaoliu measured it and felt a little surprised.

A stick pressed and sank deeply in the rubber center, it was rough, short, and not shiny.

But, obviously, this stick was not a common alloy. He felt attracted to it as if there were some kind of magic.

“This stick is…” Jiang Shaoliu blinked, he reached out and held the stick in the middle. He lifted and measured it, then he handed it to Lin Yuetao with a bit of surprise: “Try this, Mr. Lin, it’s so heavy.”

Lin Yuetao was careful, he took a deep breath and held the stick in his hand.

As Jiang Shaoliu loosened his grip, Lin Yuetao’s arms dropped immediately. He felt a little surprised and then started shining with a silver light on his body, then he lifted his arm slowly and waved it hard, which made him sweat and his muscles tremble.

He exhaled and put the stick back on the shock-reducing rubber, the silver light disappeared and there was a surprised look on his face: “What kind of material is it made from? I cannot even use it when my life rings are running, and I don’t think even those with two silver life rings could pick it up.”

Jiang Shaoliu picked it up, he shook it and showed some simple postures, nodded and said: “It’s even hard for me to use without the breathing technique, the material must be really special.”

Staring at him, Zhang Shunlin felt surprised: “Doctor…Jiang, Miss. Yin tried it and she could only try to pick it up when she was completely silvered, she also told me that you can use it when you’re strong enough, but I never thought you were so powerful already.”

“It’s ok.” Jiang Shaoliu put the stick down and was puzzled: “Do you know what kind of material it is? It’s much heavier than the super-alloy, was it also developed by the Gangxing Group?” 

Zhang Shunli shook his head and replied: “The material is special indeed but I have no idea where it’s from. As far as I know it was not developed by the Gangxing Group, we cannot do this precise treatment with our current technology. We can only force it to melt and forge it to make it into the shape of this stick or various kinds of catalyzers currently.”

“But why did you make it into a stick?” Jiang Shaoliu blinked and looked at him: “Was this ordered by Yin Manshu?”

“Absolutely.” Zhang Shunli nodded and replied: “Miss. Yin decided to make this into a weapon just for you since it fits you so well.”

“Fits me?” Jiang Shaoliu scratched his hair, lowered his head, and measured himself, then he seemed to understand.

He had the monkey king with him and had used a technique like it, Yin Manshu gave him the stick just for fun as a joke that he was like a big monkey.

“When you get back tell her,” Said Jiang Shaoliu nonchalantly: “I will take the equipment for Xiao Bai and this stick but don’t provoke me, or I will take her over my knee.”

Zhang Shunli was dumbfounded but he had to accept it, then he took out a black card and a smartwatch and handed them to Jiang Shaoliu: “Doctor Jiang, this card can be used for shopping and you can connect this watch with your present smartwatch so you can receive messages from both the military and the Gangxing Group, you don’t even need to worry if it’s damaged or not.”

Jiang Shaoliu put on the watch, it felt cold but elastic and comfortable.

“Shaoliu.” Said Lin Yuetao next to him: “Let our military science and technology personnel deal the information integration first, you can use it after we remove any possible unsafe devices that may be installed.”

Jiang Shaoliu nodded, he took off the watch and gave it to him, then turned around and looked at Zhang Shunli: “Anything else?”

Zhang Shunli looked dazed for a moment, then he nodded and said: “Yes, there’s a contribution point stored in the chip of the smartwatch and you can exchange it for equipment materials. Now you’ll be able to find more materials on display since you have high authority, there are discounts too. What’s more, those materials will be sent directly to you so you don’t need to worry about delivery.”

“One internal contribution point?” Jiang Shaoliu felt a little disappointed, he twitched the mouth and said: “Is it possible that she gave me only one point after all the good things displayed here?”

Zhang Shunli stared at Lin Yuetao, then turned to look at Jiang Shaoliu and hesitated before he spoke: “It’s not one point, but 100 million.”
