Chapter 204 Searching for the Storm 1
Chapter 204 Searching for the Storm 1
After the meeting ended, Leng Ran finally took off his priest's robes. The spot on his back where he had been hit by the roof beam was bruised and swollen, and he felt a sharp pain.
She grabbed a bottle of healing spray and sprayed it haphazardly, then wrapped herself in several layers of gauze, changed into casual clothes, and opened the bedroom door.
Zhao Yuheng had been waiting in the living room for a long time. When he saw Leng Ran come out, he handed her a glass of water: "Has the thorny issue been resolved?"
"For now." Leng Ran took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Zhao Yuheng, have you ever heard of a spatial storage device?"
Zhao Yuheng nodded: "It's a technology that the Federation is still developing. It may become another major breakthrough after the space portal, and it should be available soon."
"I'll show you something." Leng Ran took out the white ball and tossed it to Zhao Yuheng. "It's a spatial storage device, but it has an identification lock, so it can't be opened yet."
"Where did you get this?" Zhao Yuheng caught the white ball, his face full of confusion. "And what's inside it?"
Leng Ran: "Everything from tonight's auction is in there."
"You, under the guise of a judge, robbed the Illuminati?" Zhao Yuheng's hand, which was holding the ball, froze, then he laughed again. "You stole from your own turf and are still standing here unscathed. I wonder who took the blame for you."
Leng Ran briefly recounted what happened at the auction and recounted the strange catalog of traded items he had seen.
“What the Illuminati wants must be something unusual, so the question now is how to open it.” Zhao Yuheng held the white ball in his palm, turning it over and over to examine it, but he couldn’t find any secrets.
Yangon, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly interjected: "Young Master, perhaps we can go and ask Storm. As an eighth-level AI, perhaps he has a way to crack it."
Zhao Yuheng was extremely cautious: "My second uncle is still investigating the mole, and we can't contact him right now. Can we really trust Storm Star's AI storm?"
Leng Ran nodded: "He's an ally, I suppose. Boss Zhao once asked him to assist me. But how do I contact him now?"
Yangon: "Young Master, when Storm was helping me upgrade my chip, he left an encrypted channel. I can send messages to him."
“Alright, Yangon, then I’ll leave it to you.” He turned to Zhao Yuheng with a cold expression. “It’s getting late, Zhao Yuheng. Why don’t you stay here with me tonight? I’ll have Yangon forge a record of your visit, and we can set off together tomorrow morning.”
--------------
Early the next morning.
Zhao Yuheng, who had been transferred to Yangon as a visitor last night, was finally able to leave Leng Ran's room openly. As soon as he stepped out, he ran into He Yuanyang, who had just returned from guarding the military area all night.
Zhao Yuheng took the initiative to greet him: "Uncle, good morning."
Leng Ran also greeted him warmly, "Father, you're back."
He Yuanyang was somewhat bewildered by the scene before him.
No way, why did Ranran bring Zhao Yuheng back?! And she even brought him to her room! Is our daughter growing up and starting to want to date?
He Yuanyang's aura was somewhat oppressive: "Yuheng, when did you arrive?"
Zhao Yuheng continued, "Last night."
The air seemed to have gotten a few degrees colder.
Leng Ran approached He Yuanyang and whispered, "I forged the record. Actually, I brought him back the night before last."
The night before last... He Yuanyang suddenly remembered that when Leng Ran was being chased on his motorcycle, there was a half-dead person on the back seat.
So that's how it is! Zhao Yuheng was also a member of the Lingyun Army; he was brought back because he was injured!
The old father, He Yuanyang, realized he had misunderstood and breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly became kind and said, "Yuheng, since you've come to play with Ali, why don't you have breakfast together?"
Although Zhao Yuheng didn't understand why He Yuanyang's attitude had suddenly changed, he still smiled and agreed: "Okay, Uncle."
Before the three of them had even taken a few bites, they saw He Xiting rush downstairs like a small whirlwind.
"Ahhh, cousin! You came to visit Ali last night, why didn't you call me!"
Leng Ran consciously moved aside, while He Xiting pounced and grabbed Zhao Yuheng. Zhao Yuheng, the fragile commander, was suddenly restrained by He Xiting and was a little breathless: "Xixi, let me go first."
Zhao Yuheng gave Leng Ran a pleading look, but Leng Ran ignored it. Leng Ran seemed not to notice, continuing to drink her shrimp porridge, occasionally showing a satisfied expression.
He Xiting said aggrievedly, "I won't let you go unless... you two take me out to play today!"
Zhao Yuheng was still thinking of a reason to refuse when Leng Ran's mental transmission sounded in his mind: "Perfect timing, agree to his request."
At this sensitive time, she might still be being secretly monitored by someone. Having He Xiting by her side to cover for her would make her less conspicuous.
Zhao Yuheng quickly understood Leng Ran's intention, and smiled as he patted He Xiting's head: "Alright, Xixi, let's go together today."
He Xiting then released Zhao Yuheng: "Okay, where shall we go?"
Leng Ran replied, "The Morning Star Building in the School of Science and Technology is hosting a science and technology exhibition these days. Also, there's a Sunset Restaurant inside that's quite delicious."
He Xiting's eyes lit up, and he rushed upstairs without even eating: "I'm going to get ready, you guys aren't allowed to sneak away!"
