Chapter 368: Chapter 237, Welcome to the New World!

After hearing the old man’s story, it wouldn’t just be saving Bai Wuxin’s life that was right and proper, but giving his own life to him as well.

His life was exchanged for countless others, and he owed far too much to others.

"Bai Shizhen, unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, Li Zexian, a heroic woman." The old man spoke up, "I admire them deeply. In such circumstances, for them to accomplish what they did... it truly wasn’t easy."

"Yes." Tang Fei nodded, turning to the old man and asking, "So, was it you who had him catch Ling Yunxiao?"

"He was the most suitable candidate," the old man said aloud. "An unfamiliar face, and his kung fu wasn’t bad, either."

"I ran into him just after leaving the basement, which proves he was waiting for me on purpose... He wanted to know what kind of person I am?" Tang Fei looked at the old man, speaking out.

How many coincidences can there be in the world? More often, it’s the result of deliberate planning.

"Naturally, he was curious," the old man nodded and said, "He also wanted to know if the person before him was the one he was waiting for, if this person was worth his assistance."

"Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint him," Tang Fei said.

Ling Yunxiao had no money to pay for the candied chestnuts, so he had carelessly paid the 200 star coins for him...

Surely his heart must have felt warm, considering himself to be a decent man, right?

The old man wasn’t surprised by Tang Fei’s self-evaluation; he had always held a high opinion of himself.

"He’s a person who can be absolutely trusted," the old man said aloud. "In a sense, he’s somewhat more dependable than Little Fatty. At least, there are many things he can do that Little Fatty cannot."

"I understand," Tang Fei nodded and asked, "Who is behind Bai Wuxin? He took refuge in that orphanage... Do the people in that orphanage know his true identity?"

"You’ll meet them if you have the chance," the old man said as he looked at Tang Fei.

"Because of this incident, I’ve been put under the surveillance of the Monitoring Bureau... They suspect me of harboring a murderer," Tang Fei said with a worried face. "If they keep on like this, it’ll be inconvenient for us to do anything in the future. Including my visit to the Lu Family this time, they must already know..."

"Since you sent Si Yu to pick me up, you must have foreseen this. There won’t be any problems, right?"

"Yan Wenli..." The old man’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he spoke harshly, "He’s a real mad dog. You must be extremely cautious when dealing with him."

After pausing, he added comfortingly, "But you don’t have to worry too much. With your current status and position, the Monitoring Bureau wouldn’t dare to act rashly against you. Just be careful in the future, don’t let them catch any real evidence against you."

"I understand," Tang Fei nodded.

"The higher your status, the less they dare to act rashly," the old man said, looking at Tang Fei.

"I’ve held on to every leg I could; now the rest is up to my own efforts."

"Mm," the old man looked at Tang Fei and said, "The resources of the Lu Family can also be utilized. There are plenty of good things in their technology and armory..."

"Like the bionic glove you gave me?" Tang Fei asked.

It was precisely by using that kind of bionic glove that he had erased his traces of murder, otherwise, the Monitoring Bureau would have been able to confirm his identity from those corpses.

Science and technology are forever the primary productive forces.

"That’s the most trivial technology," the old man said out loud. "Go, Si Yu is outside. Let her take you for a look."

Tang Fei didn’t move.

"What’s wrong?" the old man asked in confusion, looking at Tang Fei. "Something the matter?"

"I want to confirm something," Tang Fei said. "I am the General’s son, Bai Wuxin is the son of my father’s aide-de-camp... What about Little Fatty? Who is he?"

The old man gave Tang Fei a glance and said, "You will naturally come to know in time."

"Can’t you tell me now?"

"I can."

"Then why don’t you tell me?"

"I don’t want to."

"..."

Tang Fei emerged from the secret room, and Lu Siyu looked at him with a strange expression, her tone laced with mockery, "Finished talking?"

The two of them would often lock themselves in the sealed small room, not coming out for hours on end, which really irked her.

What could they possibly be talking about that she couldn’t hear?

I’ve covered for you so many times, yet when it comes to crucial topics, you exclude me? Do you even consider me a family member anymore?

"We were just in there having a pot of tea, reminiscing about the Old Land..." Tang Fei, looking at Lu Siyu, said with a smile, "I thought you might not be interested, so I didn’t invite you in."

Lu Siyu rolled her eyes and let out a cold laugh, "You think I’m an idiot, huh? To be able to lie so naturally... only you could do that," she said.

"He could do that too," Tang Fei humbly said.

Lu Siyu knew who Tang Fei meant by ’he’, as it was her own father; she found it hard to say anything more unpleasant, so she said, "I’ve informed the technology and armory sections, applied for access privileges... Let’s go, I’ll take you there now."

"Great," Tang Fei said with renewed vigor.

The greatest gains from this trip were not only gaining a Grandpa but also obtaining free entry to the Lu Family’s technology and armory.

That was the Lu Family’s armory, after all.

Ingenious works, unparalleled in the world.

That is what’s said of the Lu Family.

"Our own family,"

Tang Fei secretly added to himself.

Under Lu Siyu’s guidance, they boarded a shuttle resembling a pangolin made of Light Iron, and entered the depths of Lu Ban Mountain.

Arriving at the "Heavenly Secret Station," the pangolin shuttle slowly halted.

"Why is it called Heavenly Secret Station?" Tang Fei asked.

"I’ve heard the old folks at home say, every creation’s unveiling is like revealing secrets to the world..." Lu Siyu explained. "Some things shouldn’t exist in this world; they belong to the realm of the gods."

"I see," Tang Fei finally understood the origin of the name for Heavenly Secret Station.

After layers of verifications and password entries, they finally entered an elevator.

Once Lu Siyu entered the access password on the elevator, it descended rapidly downward.

There was no speedometer inside the elevator, but Tang Fei could feel the fast whooshing sound.

He had no idea how long it had been, but Tang Fei felt like they had reached the depths of the great mountain, no, the bottom of the planet...

When the elevator door "clang" opened to both sides, a huge silver technological hall appeared in front of Tang Fei.

Innumerable intelligent robots and researchers dressed in white lab coats scurried about; the place was like an underground world, a city of steel.

At the center of the hall stood a gigantic steel sculpture of Master Lu Ban, the Mechanical Ancestor.

Lu Siyu bowed deeply to the statue and gestured to Tang Fei invitingly, "Welcome to the New World."
