Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, constantly pondering Jiang Nian's thoughts, his mind itching with anticipation. Finally, sporting huge dark circles under his eyes, Yang Hongkang simply stood guard outside Jiang Nian's door, determined to see the results as soon as possible.

Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Nian's lips twitched involuntarily; he was utterly speechless.

These seniors, no wonder they have such a good relationship. Just their habit of waiting outside other people's doors is exactly the same.

Just then, he finished writing all that stuff, so he decided not to sleep. He opened the door and stuffed all the organized documents into Yang Hongkang's arms.

"Brother Yang, you're up really early. Let's go have breakfast first, and then you can go back to your office and look at these things at your leisure, okay?"

Seeing that Yang Hongkang wanted to open the documents as soon as he got them, Jiang Nian quickly stopped him. He knew Yang Hongkang's personality well; if he let him see them now, Yang Hongkang would definitely stand at his door and refuse to leave.

Just imagining that scene made Jiang Nian shudder, so she insisted on pushing Yang Hongkang toward the restaurant.

However, Jiang Nian underestimated Yang Hongkang.

He had only gone to get his food when Yang Hongkang opened the documents he had written and began to read them carefully.

After watching only the beginning, Yang Hongkang wanted nothing more than to drag Jiang Nian over and give him a good beating.

This is what Jiang Nian himself called "a little thought"?
Can a single idea be turned into a complete technical document? Are you kidding me?

Besides, this is not just "a little idea". The technology is not only complete, but it also lists all the key points clearly in an analytical way, and finally includes a complete design drawing.

Damn it, Yang Hongkang really didn't know what to say.

When Jiang Nian returned with the food, she immediately saw Yang Hongkang with a stern face, staring intently at her.

"Brother Yang, what happened?" Jiang Nian's heart tightened at Yang Hongkang's expression, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his chin—could it be that he didn't shave properly this morning?

"Jiang Nian, you've really kept a low profile. You only glanced at the prototype of the fourth-generation main battle tank, and you haven't even touched our detailed design drawings, yet you've managed to come up with so many technical ideas that we desperately need. If you really are an undercover agent, we probably won't even know how we ended up!"

Yang Hongkang's tone was full of sighs.

This wasn't just a casual remark. If Jiang Nian hadn't been recommended by Zeng Maozhe, held the title of Level 1 Researcher, and if Zeng Maozhe hadn't specifically checked Jiang Nian's personnel file—which was classified as top secret and even he had no right to access it—he would have seriously suspected that this person was an enemy spy. Otherwise, how could the drawings Jiang Nian produced be so close to their most ideal plan?

"Uh, Brother Yang, if I really had a problem, why would I hand these things over to you?"

Jiang Nian's forehead was covered in black lines. He really couldn't understand how Yang Hongkang's thought process worked, and could only reply helplessly.

"By the way, the information you provided has shown us the way forward. You go ahead and eat, I'll go meet with the others. If you need anything, just come to my office."

Yang Hongkang had no appetite at all; he couldn't wait to take the materials in his hand to his colleagues for analysis and then move forward in this direction. In just a short while, a bunch of ideas about improving the fourth-generation main battle tank had already popped into his head. If he didn't write them down quickly, he would definitely forget them later.

After saying that, he didn't care about Jiang Nian's reaction. He stood up, grabbed the documents, and hurriedly left.

Seeing his energetic and energetic demeanor, Jiang Nian was truly impressed.

Forget it, I'll just eat my food properly.

However, Jiang Nian also felt much more relaxed. At least, Yang Hongkang had made new progress in the development of the fourth-generation main battle tank, so he could finally steal some time to relax for the next while.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Nian decided to treat the time he spent in the research lab as a vacation.

I was busy repairing the tank company's equipment, which really took a lot of effort. I thought I'd have to keep working here, but it seems I don't need to now. It's a good opportunity to take a break.

For the next three days, Yang Hongkang was completely absorbed in the laboratory, working tirelessly day and night, and had long forgotten about Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian was living a very leisurely life, so leisurely that he himself felt a little uneasy.

With his chin resting on his hand, Jiang Nian pondered seriously: If Yang Hongkang has nothing going on, should he simply return to the Southeast Military Region?

Although Jiang Nian's identity is very different now than before, the place where he feels most comfortable is still the Southeast Military Region Repair Company.

Just then, my phone rang suddenly.

He took it out and saw that it was the number of the Southeast Military Region.

Jiang Nian answered the call immediately.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, this is Gao Shiwei!"

As soon as a deep voice came from the other end of the phone and gave his name, Jiang Nian was stunned.

Why is this leader calling personally? Is it something important?

"Boss, this is Jiang Nian. Is there an important task for you calling me personally?"

Jiang Nian asked almost cautiously.

"Jiang Nian, have you finished your work with Chief Engineer Yang Hongkang?"

Gao Shiwei cleared his throat and asked in a serious tone.

Jiang Nian's status is not what it used to be. No matter how urgent things are on his end, if the other party's work is not finished, he has no right to call them back directly.

"It's over. I don't have any tasks here right now."

Hearing Gao Shiwei ask this, Jiang Nian understood that the other party really had something to ask him, but he couldn't directly order him to come back, so he simply gave an explanation.

"Ahem, it's like this, didn't you go on a mission with He Chenguang and the others before? There's been a bit of a new situation with that mission. If you're not too busy there, could you come back for a bit? We can't go into the details over the phone, we'll have to talk in person."

Gao Shiwei finally revealed the true purpose of the phone call.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements here, let Chief Engineer Yang know, and then I'll head back."

Upon hearing Gao Shiwei mention the previous mission, the first thing that flashed through Jiang Nian's mind was Wang Ba, who had run away.

But he just couldn't understand it. Wang Ba Ren had escaped, but his stronghold had been destroyed. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause now?

Besides, the criminal investigation team and the anti-drug team are keeping an eye on things on the other side of the border, so there shouldn't be any major trouble, right?

But now that Gao Shiwei has personally called to discuss this matter, it means that the situation has become very serious—at the very least, the border is out of control, which is why it was reported to the military region.

He Chenguang and his team just finished this mission. Even if there are changes, with their elite group of elites, they should be able to handle it without any problems.

Jiang Nian's mind raced as he pondered the reason why this mission required him to return.

Could it be that Japan has gotten involved? After all, Wang Ba is not only a drug lord, but also an arms dealer in secret.

He racked his brains for ages, but still couldn't figure it out. The system, on the other hand, remained completely silent, not making a sound. Jiang Nian simply gave up trying to think of anything more.

In Yang Hongkang's office, he had just returned from discussing matters with several people. He had poured himself a cup of tea but hadn't even had a chance to drink it when Jiang Nian pushed the door open and walked in. "Jiang Nian, you've really helped us a lot this time! We've already done simulation experiments on the technical points you wrote down, and we're now starting to manufacture them..."

Yang Hongkang couldn't help but praise them—if it weren't for Jiang Nian, they would still have a long way to go.

"Brother Yang, there's nothing for me to do here for now. I need to go back to the Southeast Military Region. There's something waiting for me there."

Jiang Nian stated his purpose directly.

"Going back? Is it really that important that you have to go yourself?"

Jiang Nian had to use a lot of persuasion before he finally convinced Yang Hongkang to release the man. He was truly impressed by these senior figures.

Gao Shiwei's tone on the phone was clearly anxious, which Jiang Nian could tell, so she didn't delay and went straight back to the Southeast Military Region.

The car drove all the way to the building where the leader's office was located.

As soon as Jiang Nian got out of the car, she saw Fan Tianlei standing outside waiting, his face full of anxiety.

"Jiang Nian, you're finally back!"

Upon seeing Jiang Nian, Fan Tianlei's tense expression visibly relaxed, and he quickly stepped forward to greet her.

Looking at Fan Tianlei, Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "What exactly happened during that last mission?"

Gao Shiwei didn't elaborate on the phone call, and Jiang Nian couldn't guess what the big deal was that could alarm the military region's top brass.

Jiang Nian wasn't arrogant; he was well aware of his current importance in the military region. Such a mission would never have been assigned to him unless he was absolutely indispensable.

The fact that Gao Shiwei made the call personally indicates that the situation had become so serious that even he couldn't handle it, which is why he came to Jiang Nian.

Could it be that the Red Cell Team can't handle this?

Even if the red blood cells aren't up to par, there are still the elite special forces like the Thunder Commando and Fire Phoenix. If so many people can't handle it, you can imagine how difficult this mission will be.

Jiang Nian and Fan Tianlei were fairly familiar with each other, and while walking towards Gao Shiwei's office, Jiang Nian wanted to find out some information first.

The mere mention of this matter caused Fan Tianlei's face, which had just relaxed, to tighten again.

"This matter is a bit complicated. He'll explain it to you when we get to the senior leader's office. I don't know exactly what the arrangements are from above."

Fan Tianlei considered his words for a long time before finally saying this.

He wasn't involved in the later stages of the mission; it was entirely led by Jiang Nian. After the mission was completed and submitted, the follow-up was handed over to the border anti-drug squad and criminal investigation squad. Now that things have changed, Fan Tianlei only knows the basics; he truly can't fathom the thoughts of his superiors.

Even Fan Tianlei doesn't know?

Jiang Nian's doubts deepened.

Without saying anything more, the two arrived at the door of Gao Shiwei's office.

"Knock knock knock—" Fan Tianlei knocked on the door. "Boss, Comrade Jiang Nian has arrived."

Hearing a response from inside, Fan Tianlei pushed open the door and gestured for Jiang Nian to go in.

As soon as Jiang Nian entered the office, Fan Tianlei stood guard at the door like a sentry, in a wary posture.

"Good leadership!"

As soon as Jiang Nian entered, she saw Gao Shiwei sitting behind his desk, his solemn expression exactly the same as Fan Tianlei's earlier.

"Don't be shy, please sit down."

Gao Shiwei rubbed his aching temples, pointed to the chair opposite him, and gestured for Jiang Nian to sit down.

Jiang Nian did not refuse and sat down.

Gao Shiwei rubbed it for a while before he felt a little better.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, the reason I've called you here today is about that mission from last time. Do you remember the USB drive you brought back?"

Gao Shiwei had no time for beating around the bush and got straight to the point about the previous task.

Upon hearing the word "USB drive," Jiang Nian nodded.

Upon receiving the USB drive, he immediately deciphered its contents, discovering that Wang Ba was also an arms dealer. If it weren't for this USB drive, they would still be completely in the dark.

The USB drive contained the details and timing of Wang Ba's next transaction with the Sakura Kingdom. However, upon returning, Jiang Nian handed the USB drive to Fan Tianlei, as the subsequent events were no longer his concern.

Now that Gao Shiwei is specifically mentioning USB drives, could it be that something went wrong with that transaction?
Wang Ba fled in a panic, taking only a few men with him. His arms deal with Japan should have fallen through by now, right?

“You raided Wang Ba’s hideout, but this drug lord still managed to escape. People were sent to chase him from the border, but it was all in vain. Wang Ba has completely disappeared and is no longer in the country.”

Gao Shiwei let out a long sigh.

If he could, he really wished that Jiang Nian and the others could have solved the problem once and for all, so that they wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

"Issue a global arrest warrant and expose his crimes. Surely no one in the international community will openly protect him?"

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and then said.

Even if Wang Ba has arms dealings with many countries, once his crimes are made public, those countries, to avoid suspicion, are unlikely to outwardly protect him. In that case, it would actually be easier to arrest him.

"No, you're mistaken. Wang Ba's stronghold is gone, but his deal with Japan hasn't been cancelled." Gao Shiwei wanted to rub his temples again.

“We intercepted communications between Wang Ba and the Sakura Kingdom and learned that the transaction is still ongoing, only the timing has changed. The reason we've brought you back is to ask you—is there any way to destroy those weapons from the inside? They look perfectly fine on the outside, but once you start using them, you'll find they're completely useless?”

Gao Shiwei pointed out the crux of the problem.

The reason for urgently summoning Jiang Nian back is precisely this.

What?
Jiang Nian's forehead was covered in question marks. Was Gao Shiwei's request a bit too much for a repairman?

"Boss, since we already know the trading time, why not just cancel it? Why go through all this trouble?"

Jiang Nian almost blurted out, "Are you sick?", but luckily she cleared her mind in time and swallowed the words back.

"We not only cannot sabotage this deal, we must find a way to make it happen. Figure out why yourself. But we must find a way to destroy these weapons from within, and without it being visible on the surface." (End of Chapter)
