Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 36: A caring person, a meeting gift

Wei Jiang cooked very quickly. After more than half an hour, a large plate of fried beef with coriander was served.

The taste of Wei Jiang's family is different from that of most people in Nanshi. The father and son prefer spicy food, and you can see a lot of red and green peppers on the plate.

"Eat, Dad, and stop worrying."

"It's just a thief who's tempted by money. Don't worry."

Wei Jiang prepared the meal and handed the bowl to Wei Yonghe, then made an inference in a serious manner.

Seeing Wei Jiang's confident look, Wei Yonghe's worries did not ease.

There was a lot of activity outside the room, but the room was completely silent.

The man was shirtless, smoking a cigarette, and lost in thought.

Sitting on another chair in front of the table, the man who appeared at Wei Jiang's house in the evening was looking at the boss fearfully.

"Brother Qiang, if that kid calls the police, won't I be in danger?"

The man with pigtails had a nervous expression and kept rubbing his hands together, placing all his hopes on his boss Zhang Huaqiang.

"What are you afraid of? It's not like you haven't been in there before."

"Besides, there's no surveillance in that crappy place, and you haven't been caught by the other party. Even if that guy calls the police, it won't be easy to find you."

"Look at you, you coward! Sit up straight!"

Zhang Huaqiang put out his cigarette and poured the other person a cup of tea.

"Listen to me, the other party only glanced at you, and it was already evening and he couldn't see clearly at all."

Glancing at the small tuft of hair on the back of the man's head, Zhang Huaqiang instructed:
"Go get a haircut later and burn these clothes. I don't believe the police can find you."

"Da Lei, it's right to listen to your brother Qiang. Just stay in the shop and fix your car. If anything happens, I will definitely protect you."

The man called Dalei nodded quickly.

He was just released from prison a month ago and came to hang out with Zhang Huaqiang based on his previous connections.

He is experienced in petty theft, and today he was temporarily assigned to go back to his old ways.

"Let's talk about what you saw today. There was something that looked like a sea fish, and there was also an assembly device that didn't seem to have any function."

"Based on your judgment, what do you think those things are?"

Zhang Huaqiang was obviously more concerned about his purpose. Ever since he learned from a client that someone in Nanshi was providing a lot of second-hand power battery replacements, he became interested in the news.

After some investigation, we finally found out that it was Wei Yonghe and his son who did it.

Thinking back to the attenuated battery pack that Wei Jiang bought from him, Zhang Huaqiang judged that this guy must have a special way or channel to mass-produce second-hand battery packs.

Zhang Huaqiang's sensitivity to battery pack prices made him conclude immediately that this was definitely a good business that could make a lot of money.

Thinking of the cowardice and poverty of the father and son, Zhang Huaqiang believed that if he took the initiative to negotiate, Wei Yonghe and his son would never tell the truth.

Judging from one’s own experience, if Zhang Huaqiang himself had such means or ability, he would also keep it secret tightly!
"Brother Qiang, I don't understand that thing that looks like a sea fish. I checked it from top to bottom and couldn't find the switch to open the top cover."

Dalei recalled what he saw in the evening.

The task he received from Zhang Huaqiang was to go to Yonghe Auto Repair Shop in Xiafang Village to find out the secret of how Wei Yonghe and his son produced second-hand battery packs.

He had no idea what the secret was until he climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

"Brother Qiang, I have basically searched the entire yard."

"In addition to some broken car repair equipment and some power battery packs, the most suspicious things left are those two things."

Rolling his eyes, trying to recall everything he saw that evening, Dalei looked into Zhang Huaqiang's eyes and said:

“That thing that’s all hand-assembled, I don’t understand.”

"I've never seen this before in other auto repair shops. After connecting it to the power supply, I tried to operate it, but before I could figure it out, the family came back."

This was the second time Zhang Huaqiang had heard what Dalei said.

After handing a cigarette to Dalei, Zhang Huaqiang lit one for himself, took a deep puff, and looked at Dalei through the smoke.

"I've never heard of any technology that can restore a battery pack to its original storage capacity."

"Could it be that the guy has mastered some technology? Or has he got other acquisition channels?"

Zhang Huaqiang couldn't figure it out, and the more confused he was, the more upset he became.

The profit that can be earned from the battery replacement service for each car is there, and Zhang Huaqiang feels uncomfortable when he thinks that he cannot earn this money.

The most important thing is that he can't earn the money, but he has to watch Wei Yonghe and his son earn the money, which makes him feel even worse.

"That guy was so happy to pay back the money before, the profit here must be very high." Zhang Huaqiang sighed as he saw the cigarette in his hand was about to burn the mouthpiece.

"Okay, go get your hair cut first."

"Relax and work with peace of mind. I'll contact you if I need anything later."

Seeing Dalei nod, stand up, open the door and be about to go out, Zhang Huaqiang called out to him again.

"Da Lei, remember, keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone else about what happened today."

Dalei nodded quickly. He had just come out of the trading floor and didn't want to go back so soon.

"Don't worry, Brother Qiang, I understand."

Zhang Huaqiang then nodded and let the other person go out.

Opening his phone and looking at the photos Wei Jiang had posted on Shangdu during the day in his circle of friends, Zhang Huaqiang couldn't help but swear.

"It's fun to go to Xanadu. It's a shame to come back so early!"

"You country bumpkin! You belong in the countryside."

Inside the Wuling mini car, Wei Jiang glanced at the several cardboard boxes on the passenger seat.

After dinner, Wei Jiang drove to the city to buy a few rainproof cameras.

Since someone was eyeing his yard, Wei Jiang couldn't help but respond.

Installing surveillance cameras in the yard is just the first step. Later, Wei Jiang plans to demolish and rebuild the yard.

The house we built is more than 20 years old. It is old and inconvenient to live in, so it is time to renovate it.

Of course, these responses are only passive precautions. If there are really multiple people breaking into the house, it would be difficult for Wei Jiang and Wei Yonghe, who is sitting in a wheelchair, to cope with it.

After thinking it over, Wei Jiang decided that the thing he was most likely to rely on was the enhanced panel in front of him.

[Enhanced mission: 9689km/10000km]

Wuling mini will definitely be greatly improved if it continues to be strengthened, but Wei Jiang is not sure whether the strengthening of this micro passenger car can gain defensive capabilities.

His eyes were shining with a faint light as he looked at the panel, and the numbers in the description of the enhanced task were jumping.

9690km
To be honest, what Wei Jiang wants in his heart is not only defense, he wants an attack module more.

Wei Jiang thought it would not be difficult to use the attack power gained from the panel enhancement to deal with a few scoundrels.

The Wuling was driving very fast. When Wei Jiang returned home, his father Wei Yonghe was still sitting under the light in the yard.

Seeing Wei Jiang coming back, Wei Yonghe's expression relaxed a little.

"What's that in your hand?"

Wei Jiang walked up to his father and handed a box to him.

"With surveillance cameras installed, the home will be safe."

Wei Jiang took the box, turned it to one side, pointed at it and said:
"This camera can perform intelligent recognition. When it detects someone approaching, it will send a signal to the mobile phone. This way, we don't have to worry about someone sneaking over the wall."

Wei Yonghe picked up the camera box in his arms and looked at it carefully under the light.

"This is good stuff, nice."

"With this, even if someone comes, we will have time to react."

Wei Jiang opened a box and answered confidently:
"Dad, help me unpack the other boxes and I'll put them back together."

Wei Jian bought four cameras and installed them at the four corners of the yard. The field of view covers the courtyard wall, basically ensuring that there are no blind spots in the yard.

The camera-linked APP was installed on the mobile phone of father Wei Yonghe, and the two of them conducted a special test.

When Wei Yonghe saw the notification pop up on his phone, he finally smiled with satisfaction.

"Dad, relax and stop worrying. It's time to go to bed."

Pushing his father's wheelchair, Wei Jiang took him back to the house.

"That's great. I'll put my phone next to my bed when I go to sleep, so I can hear any movement."

After coming out of his father's room, Wei Jiang did not go back to his own room. Instead, he closed the door and got into the Wuling mini.

He absolutely could not tolerate any disturbance in the peaceful life between him and his father.

Tonight he is going to strengthen Wuling mini for the third time!
Mere surveillance is not enough to satisfy him, he wants to prepare some gifts for those who dare to show up!
