Chapter 1257 Confession
Chapter 1257 Confession
Ling Feng was also taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "It seems the Americans aren’t stupid. They know there’s a risk of technology leakage, so they even got insurance!"
"Hmm, it seems we won’t be able to get any crucial information!" Zhang He said solemnly, his expression not looking good.
But as things stood, there was no choice. The items still needed to be taken back for research. Let’s disassemble them and see!
Half an hour later, a tow truck arrived near the house.
But because the road was narrow, such a big vehicle couldn’t get close. So Ling Feng and the others had to work together to lift the mecha and walk a few hundred meters before placing it onto the truck.
Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to lift these things at all!
The mecha weighed about five hundred pounds, while the cylindrical lander weighed at least two tons!
For ordinary people, they’d die of exhaustion trying to lift it!
Once everything was loaded onto the truck, they covered the two items with tarpaulins.
Even though it was late at night, they couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t encounter passing vehicles on the road. These two items were too sci-fi, so it’s better to keep them covered.
Ling Feng looked at Li Fei’er; after what had happened, going back to sleep was out of the question. So he said, "Let’s go, we’ll head to Longyuan first, and then go to Nine Heavens!"
"Alright!"
Li Fei’er felt downhearted but couldn’t show it in front of everyone, so she just nodded.
Then the group got into their cars and soon returned to Longyuan.
Once the items were unloaded, staff immediately dragged them to the basement.
The dismantling work began immediately, and only with a hydraulic machine did they manage to take the mecha apart into two pieces!
There was indeed a person inside—a Caucasian man about five feet tall. Ling Feng’s strike, by sheer coincidence, hit his heart, which caused the mecha to lose all combat power instantly.
After the body was taken away, people saw the condition inside the mecha; the densely packed circuit boards were indeed all shot through!
Zhang He looked speechless, then said, "Electronic components can be pierced, but the power system is still intact; it’s still worth studying!"
Ling Feng wasn’t sure if he was saying this to comfort himself, smiled and said, "If that’s the case, you have someone study it properly, I’m going back!"
"Alright, you go then!"
Zhang He nodded, saying nothing more.
Ling Feng was about to leave with Li Fei’er when Chen Yan came up and asked, "Uncle, are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes, what’s up?" Ling Feng turned back and asked.
"I want to go back to school tomorrow, could you take me?" Chen Yan asked.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng paused, wondering why she would ask him for such a thing.
While he was puzzled, Li Fei’er quickly said, "No problem, Uncle will pick you up tomorrow morning!"
"Mm, okay!"
Chen Yan nodded and walked off happily.
"What’s the situation?"
Ling Feng looked at Li Fei’er and asked, confused.
"Oh, come on, can’t you see? She just wants to spend some time alone with you!" Li Fei’er replied.
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless, finally understanding.
He then chuckled wryly and said, "You’re sharp, agreeing on my behalf!"
"If you don’t want to, you can go refuse her now!" Li Fei’er shrugged.
"Forget it, you’ve agreed already, what would it mean if I refuse now?"
Ling Feng laughed and then said, "Besides, I also want to see her grandfather."
Ding Guoqing entrusted Dragon Soul to him, a huge sign of trust. Since leaving the capital, it had been some time, and it was time to visit him.
...
...
The next morning, Ling Feng drove to Longyuan. Chen Yan, who had changed her clothes, was already waiting.
Seeing her outfit, Ling Feng was reminded of their first meeting.
Back then, she was wearing an outfit just like this!
Once Chen Yan got in the car and they left Longyuan, Ling Feng asked, "By the way, why are you going back to school?"
"Just to have a look. I’ve been working at the Safety Bureau for a while now and haven’t gone back!" Chen Yan replied.
"Oh, is your family doing well?" Ling Feng asked.
"Everything’s good!"
Chen Yan nodded, then turned to look at him, "This time my dad wants to treat you to a meal, how about it?"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and then asked in surprise, "Why is he treating me to a meal?"
Chen Yan looked at him, "Do you really not get it, or are you pretending to be dumb?"
"Uh.... "
Ling Feng was momentarily speechless and then smiled wryly, "I feel like, or, no, I mean...."
Chen Yan interrupted him, "Enough, just say if you agree or not!"
"I agree!" Ling Feng quickly said.
"That’s more like it!"
Chen Yan rolled her eyes, then said, "Now hurry up and drive. Don’t be late for lunch!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng was helpless, so he stepped on the gas pedal and sped up.
After more than two hours of travel, the car reached the capital city.
It was only nine in the morning, three hours until lunch, so they first drove to the university.
Once on campus, Chen Yan looked nostalgic, taking a deep breath and said, "I really miss this place, it’s a shame I can’t come back often in the future!"
"You’ve graduated, why come back often?" Ling Feng laughed.
"It’s sentiment, you wouldn’t understand!"
Chen Yan said as she walked ahead.
Ling Feng followed her, then asked, "Where are you going?"
"Just follow me!"
Chen Yan said, not looking back.
They walked into the depths of the campus, soon reaching the edge of that grove.
Seeing this, Ling Feng understood.
Sure enough, Chen Yan walked into the grove and returned to where they first met.
She then turned around and asked Ling Feng, "Remember this place?"
"Of course I remember, this is where we first met!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Mm!"
Chen Yan nodded, then came up and hugged him directly!
"..."
Ling Feng was taken off guard by her straightforwardness and was momentarily stunned.
"Thinking back now, meeting you here was the luckiest thing in my life!" Chen Yan said softly.
Facing the girl’s direct confession, Ling Feng felt warmth in his heart and then reached out to hug her, "For me, it’s the same!"
The two didn’t speak anymore, just quietly embraced, breathing in the fresh forest air, without words for a long time.
After a while, as Ling Feng was about to suggest they go see Ding Guoqing, they heard a man’s voice from afar, "What are you two doing there!"
Ling Feng and Chen Yan released each other to see a middle-aged man with glasses quickly approaching!
