Though he found the situation inappropriate and uncomfortable to be in, Xia Lei still decided to enter Zhu Xuanyueâs room.
As soon as the door was opened, Zhu Xuanyue, who had her upper half dangled over the edge of the bed, abruptly pushed her palms against the floor. Her body immediately sprung up from the ground. At that moment, her form looked like a freshly shot arrow. It required her less than a second to present the base of her feet against Xia Leiâs head.
She had a pair of flawless legs. There was not a single callous on the underside of her foot. Her legs were certainly one to admire. However, Xia Lei was not in the headspace to admire the beauty of her feet. In fact, he was scared shitless. The power of Zhu Xuanyueâs kick was a threat to him! If she kicked his face, his nose bridge would undoubtedly shatter!
Caught off guard, he quickly lowered his knees. The moment he had squatted, Zhu Xuanyueâs deadly long leg flew by his head and scraped against his scalp. Without wasting a beat, both of her hands were lowered straight from the air to grapple his neck. All Xia Lei could remember next was the immense pressure pressed against his throat and then suffocation!
Xia Lei hurriedly threw himself against the ground, quickly kicking his right foot up towards Zhu Xuanyueâs crown.
Zhu Xuanyue loosened her grip on his neck to grab on Xia Leiâs incoming foot.
The assault came to an abrupt halt.
Out of exhaustion, Xia Lei slumped against the ground while Zhu Xuanyue let herself fall against his body. Her head was in between his thighs while his head was in between her thighs. The position they found themselves in was a very risque sixty-nine.
Zhu Xuanyue was presumably fine since Xia Lei had pants on.
But it was a different story for poor Xia Lei due to the proximity and lack of clothing on Zhu Xuanyue. Her privates were a little too close for comfort. Everything was too damned near! Her privates were within his reach! This was more intense from when he had found her completely naked, Xia Lei felt like he was about to explode.
âUncle Xia!â Zhu Xuanyue finally noticed that it was Xia Lei. Frantically, she scurried away from his body, face filled with regret. âIâm so sorry, I didnât know it was you.â
Xia Lei lifted himself from the floor and proceeded to stare at her. His eyes were wide with unhidden terror. He thought to himself, âWhy is she so ridiculously strong?! Sheâs even more powerful than Master!â
Liang Zhengchun had dedicated his entire life to the art of Wing Chun and had insanely fortified internal strength, Xia Lei was admittedly no match against him. But if a comparison were to be made between Zhu Xuanyue and Liang Zhengchun, the latter was evidently much weaker!
Another cruel reality was that if Zhu Xuanyue had chosen to unleash her full capabilities on him, he wouldnât have been able to survive that brawl!
âUncle Xia, why are you staring at me like that?â Zhu Xuanyue waved a palm in front of him.
Which finally snapped Xia Lei back to reality. âWhy did you attack me just now?â
âI donât know. I just noticed that someone had entered my room and before I knew anything, I was already doing it. Iâm so sorry, Uncle Xia.â Zhu Xuanyue lowered her head, behaving like a child who knew she was in trouble.
Seeing her in this state, Xia Lei no longer reprimanded her. He flashed her a faint smile instead. âItâs alright. Please remember to not recklessly attack anyone next time. Youâre very strong, you might hurt someone unintentionally.â
âAlright, I promise.â Zhu Xuanyue grinned.
âWhat were you doing just now? Were you looking for something?â asked Xia Lei.
âI found something small,â answered Zhu Xuanyue.
âWhat did you find?â Xia Lie lowered his body to look under the bed.
Suddenly, a rat came dashing out from underneath the bed towards the washroom.
From the corner of his eye, he could see Zhu Xuanyueâs figure sway and the next time she halted, the rat was already in her palms.
Xia Lei was shocked. He wasnât able to see her move but when she stopped, the rat was already in her hands!
The speed she displayed was inhuman. It wasnât something any regular human being was supposed to have, Xia Lei, included!
Zhu Xuanyue abruptly tightened her grip.
Squeak! The rat let out an agonizing squeak before dying within Zhu Xuanyueâs fist.
âXuanyue, youâŠâ Xia Lei wanted to say something but he didnât know what to say.
Zhu Xuanyue slowly approached Xia Lei with a sweet smile. âUncle Xia, here. Itâs a present.â
Before Xia Lei could reply, Zhu Xuanyue had already placed the dead rodent on his palm.
The sudden contact was cold. The unnatural temperature of the ratâs body was as if it had been stored in the refrigerator for a few minutes!
Inexplicably, Xia Leiâs mind wandered back to the incident back at the sanatorium that afternoon. When he touched one of the expertâs newly-passed bodies, it was cold too.
Xia Leiâs left eye twitched and penetrated through the ratâs brain.
Surprisingly, its brain hadnât shrunk. It looked rather normal. The finding allowed him to heave a sigh of relief. If the rat had experienced the same brain shrinkage as those experts, Xia Lei would really suspect that she had something to do with the deaths of the expert team!
âIâm so full, I feel very sleepy.â Zhu Xuanyue yawned. âUncle Xia, I wanna sleep with you. Can you hug me to sleep tonight?â
Xia Lei frantically declined. âNo! You should sleep alone.â
âBut I really wanna sleep with you,â whined Zhu Xuanyue.
âBehave yourself!â Xia Leiâs expression was tense.
âFine, thereâs no need to be so mean.â Zhu Xuanyue pouted, looking as if she was wronged.
âAlso, no matter if youâre in the room or outside, you must be clothed. You cannot run around the place naked, promise?â Xia Leiâs tone remained stern.
Zhu Xuanyue frowned silently but still gave a nod.
âGo to bed, Iâll get you a teacher tomorrow. You need to learn some etiquette.â With that, Xia Lei left her room.
As soon as he was out of her sight, Xia Lei tossed the dead rat into the trash. The man couldnât help but turn around to use his X-ray vision on Zhu Xuanyueâs room once again for good measure, only to find the girl pulling up a pair of panties. The entire process made him gulp.
âSheâs still a good child after all. Iâll call Qing Caiyue over to teach her some manners tomorrow.â Xia Leiâs heart wondered as he left.
Unbeknownst to him, the panty-clad Zhu Xuanyue started to walk around her room in circles. Then, she began to mumbleâŠ
âWho are you?â
âWho are you?â
âWhat are you trying to do?â
âWhat are you trying to do?â
âHey, shut up!â
âYouâre the one who should shut up!â
Next morning, Xia Lei brought Zhu Xuanyue to Thunder Horse Military Factory to pass her to Qing Caiyue. The girl wasnât keen on following the stranger but after Xia Lei had reprimanded her, she hurriedly scurried over to sit for Qing Caiyueâs lessons.
Soon, Huang Xuewen entered his office.
âDirector Xia, Iâd like to discuss an idea with you.â
âWhat do you have in mind?â Xia Lei glued his eyes on the younger male.
âThe AI technologies you provided us are very advanced. It has greatly inspired me and my friends over at the AI department. Weâve discussed and found that some of the techniques provided could be used on our current production process and perhaps some weapon parts. For example, it could be very useful for the production of the Sweeper infantry fighting vehicle and the upcoming tank.â
The technologies mentioned were extracted from Hattori Masao back then. The particular patents involved were not intended for the military sector but with some modification, it would be perfect. Xia Lei was merely the âsupplierâ in this part. He had readied plenty of resources while Huang Xuewen and his AI department had acted as his brains. The department had selected a few out of the thousands of resources supplied by Xia Lei and added their own spin to it to create the best suited Artificial Intelligence product for Thunder Horse Military Factory.
âExcellent, thatâs great news. Proceed to implement it and let me know if you need anything else.â Xia Lei was delighted. Huang Xuewen had already offered impressive achievements. It was a good indication that Xia Lei had made the right choice.
Huang Xuewen continued, âI need Miss Sylvia and Miss Aninaâs support on this. Theyâre the ones behind the tankâs research. Iâd like your permission for the AI department to join the research.â
Xia Lei simply returned a nod. âSure, not a problem. Iâll give them a call soon.â
âAlso, Director Xia,â The younger male hesitated, but decided to say it anyway. âWe only have one office for our department. Due to that, weâre limited to theory-based research and I really think weâd do much better with a laboratory and a garage. Iâve calculated the cost to be around eighty million.â
Xia Lei remained silent.
Huang Xuewen couldnât help but get nervous. âDirector Xia, I understand we have nothing much to offer yet and I know that itâs a little difficult for you to fork out that sum of money. But I guarantee thatâŠâ
Abruptly, Xia Lei smiled. âThereâs no need to guarantee anything. Iâll hand you a fund of one billion, spend it wisely.â
âHuh?â Huang Xuewen couldnât believe what he had just heard.
âIs it too much?â Xia Lei grinned.
âNo, no, no⊠One billion makes things much easier.â A smile finally appeared on Huang Xuewenâs face. âYouâre such a bold and generous boss, itâs my pleasure to work under you.â
âYou better prove yourself to me with that amount given. Try to work out a way to incorporate Artificial Intelligence into our products as soon as possible. Our country is way behind in this sector, we need to catch up with the others fast,â said Xia Lei.
âGot it, weâll do our very best. Thank you for your time, Director Xia. Iâll be off to work now.â Huang Xuewen turned around.
âWait.â Xia Lei halted him and retrieved a USB from his drawer. âTake a look at this for me.â
âWhat is it?â Huang Xuewen was curious.
Xia Lei answered, âItâs a medical intelligence machine made by the Japanese. Itâs probably the benchmark of the current technological advancement of Japan. Study it, Iâm sure itâll be of use to you and your friends.â
âHow do you have access to things like this?â Huang Xuewen was shocked to know what it was.
âIâve got my ways. Go, go back to work.â Xia Lei didnât bother to explain its origins.
Huang Xuewen tightened his grip around the USB, barely able to conceal the excitement in his voice. âDirector Xia, please believe in me. I will definitely produce our very own AI machines. Whether or not it falls under the medical field or military industry, weâll certainly have it all!â
Xia Lei nodded his head, praising the youngster with his eyes.
If Xia Lei was only left with three years to live, then he shall make Thunder Horse Organization a world-renowned military organization that was up to par with Rheinmetall and even Lockheed Martin!
