Chapter 593: Completely Beyond Reason

At the entrance of the residential area, the young security guard chose to let the car pass even though it wasn’t owned by a resident.

It’s a joke; you can’t fake that license plate.

Who dares to stop a car with a "military" license plate?

Besides, even if it’s an unfamiliar vehicle not recorded in the database, they’d just register it and let it through.

Given that, it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Captain, there’s a military jeep heading our way."

Hawkeye, who was on the rooftop keeping watch, was the first to notice the vehicle entering the villa area.

"Everyone, stay alert."

Wild Wolf hadn’t received any message from the boss and didn’t know it was Qin Yuzhu.

For the unknown, as a bodyguard, it’s essential to remain vigilant at all times to prevent accidents.

After all, no one can guarantee that someone isn’t impersonating.

"It’s Director Qin, I see Director Qin in the passenger seat."

In less than a minute, the military jeep stopped at Mo Jingchun’s house.

After speaking to the people in the car, Qin Yuzhu got out alone.

Inside, Mo Jingchun, alerted by Wild Wolf’s voice message, came out with a bowl of noodles.

"Slurp~"

"Qin, you’re early."

Glancing at the noodles in Mo Jingchun’s hands, Qin Yuzhu said helplessly, "There’s no choice, the higher-ups are very concerned about the whale."

"Slurp~"

"I assure you those researchers will be satisfied."

Having known each other for years, the two were already familiar with each other.

Mo Jingchun, heedless of appearances, ate noodles while leading Qin Yuzhu to the study on the second floor.

It was Qin Yuzhu’s first time in Mo Jingchun’s study, and she was very curious.

As she expected, books were the most abundant items in the study.

What surprised Qin Yuzhu was that the books on the shelves were distinctly divided into two categories.

The bottom two rows were all children’s books.

Above them were books about various professional fields.

Of course, what drew Qin Yuzhu’s gaze was the aircraft carrier model in the center of the study.

It was a gift that couldn’t be bought even with money!

"Have a seat."

"Would you like water or tea?"

"A glass of plain water, please."

Sitting down and holding the teacup, Qin Yuzhu suddenly noticed a major difference in Mo Jingchun’s study compared to a typical person’s.

There were no paintings or writings on the walls.

The walls were very clean.

Yet in the corners were several large boxes filled with Candy’s various toys.

"Are you disappointed?"

Mo Jingchun grinned, "I might as well tell you, except for attending a charity auction when I first moved the company back to the county, I’ve never participated in any charity events."

"The paintings and calligraphies I foolishly bought at the auction I gave to Xu Pengfei."

"I just think that hanging those in my study insults my intelligence."

Hearing this, Qin Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and said earnestly:

"No! You’ve actually done many charitable activities!"

"The leukemia miracle drug, and the Yi ethnic group’s mountain village you developed into a vegetable base, these are all tangible."

Mo Jingchun was momentarily stunned, then shrugged indifferently.

"Those were just thoughts from the heart."

"Speaking of which, I’ve never been back to see what that small mountain village is like now or what changes there have been."

"Now that you mention it, I’ll take Candy back to visit when I have time, just like a trip."

As they chatted, before realizing it, Mo Jingchun finished a whole bowl of noodles.

After finishing the noodles, Mo Jingchun wiped his mouth and took a solid-state drive from the desk drawer.

"The whale is in there, along with a manual."

In a sudden serious tone, Mo Jingchun warned:

"The reactivated whale must have two super administrators; this is especially important."

"I’ve explained the details in the manual."

"Oh, and under no circumstances should you tell those researchers that the whale was caught by me."

"Whether internally or externally, it’s best not to use the name ’whale’ anymore."

A deep look at Mo Jingchun, Qin Yuzhu knew what he was worried about.

But these are the basics.

Mo Jingchun, though a businessman, is also a scientist.

Researchers don’t want any external interference.

If the Beautiful Country found out the whale was captured by Mo Jingchun, they wouldn’t say anything publicly, as it would be too embarrassing.

But they would surely find a way to save face secretly.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yuzhu placed the solid-state drive in a specially designed small box.

"Aren’t you worried about how to trade, yet you hand over the whale to me so easily and aren’t afraid I’ll back out?"

Mo Jingchun smiled confidently; doing business with the country is the best; no need to worry about the country not affording the price.

However, in the next moment, Mo Jingchun was stunned.

Qin Yuzhu put away her smile, solemnly took an archival envelope out of her briefcase.

Qin Yuzhu placed the archival envelope seriously on Mo Jingchun’s desk, with a very serious expression, but Mo Jingchun could still see a hint of confusion in Qin Yuzhu’s eyes.

Yes, confusion.

This is strange.

It also piqued Mo Jingchun’s curiosity.

What exactly is in this archival envelope?

Or rather, what can be of equal value to the whale?

Just a few sheets of paper?

"You look at the document first, and then I’ll explain it to you."

"If you don’t accept what’s in it, we can negotiate a transaction amount."

After hesitating, Qin Yuzhu slowly said, "Though I don’t understand it either, my intuition tells me that what’s in this archival envelope might be more valuable."

Glancing at Qin Yuzhu, Mo Jingchun said nothing and directly opened the archival envelope.

Whatever it is, I’ll look at it first.

After all, there’s no harm in looking.

The archival envelope was opened by Mo Jingchun, and there was very little inside, in fact, almost nothing.

A single A4 document with writing on both sides, and a black card without any information.

The black card was about the size of an ID card, with an indistinguishable texture on the surface, but it seemed to absorb light.

Unable to figure out the texture of the card, Mo Jingchun set it aside and focused on reading the document.

As time ticked by and Mo Jingchun’s furrowed brow formed a "川," Qin Yuzhu realized that Mo Jingchun, like her, was becoming confused.

After reading the document, Mo Jingchun finally realized that the black card he had set aside wasn’t a card but a ticket.

A possible disaster?

Noah’s Ark from a movie?

It’s utterly absurd.

But the higher-ups wouldn’t do anything meaningless.

Most importantly, Mo Jingchun trusts data.

In the past two years, the prices of all metals on the market have multiplied several times.

Many materials are in short supply.

What does this indicate?

It indicates that somewhere, there’s a massive operation consuming a vast amount of materials.
