Xie Xie, Do You Want to Ride a Mech?

"You?" I asked, surprised.

"That's right."

Lin Yue nodded. "Besides her aunt, Xiao Ying has no other blood relatives. My name is on our Lin family's household registration, and I am the eldest son in the true sense. Although we are not related by blood, if anything really happens to Xiao Ying, I will still be able to get a considerable share of the shares she holds in Yuening."

"..."

I frowned. "Brother Lin Yue, there's no need to include you. If I really suspected it was you, I wouldn't have come to you."

"Um."

He looked ashamed, glancing down at the table. "Ding Han, Xie Xie..."

"By the way, has the GA in Nancheng made any progress in their investigation of the poisoning incident?"

"No."

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and said, "The other party is too shrewd, leaving no trace. The clues only stop at the tea leaves. When we try to trace the trail further, the people responsible for purchasing, delivering, and storing the tea are completely unaware. It's very difficult to find anything out."

Just as I expected.

After chatting for a few more minutes, I said goodbye to Lin Yue.

In the morning, I drove to Aji's place, which was similar to mine, also an old-style neighborhood, quite unassuming.

"Boss!"

After getting into the car, Aji said with a smug look, "Did you see that... all the aunties and uncles at the entrance of the neighborhood are pointing and whispering about your car. Turns out they recognize nice cars too."

"So..."

I started the car. "If you got a decent car, do you think you'd still have trouble finding a girlfriend?"

He scratched his head. "I was just thinking of using the best resources where they're most needed. I don't dare touch the money in my account recklessly; I'm saving it all to buy top-tier equipment. Didn't you say the same thing before?"

"Times have changed..."

I coughed and said, "It's version 4.0 now, players can earn money much faster. There's no need to be so stingy about a few hundred thousand. I suggest you buy a Cayenne or a Land Rover; they'd be more in line with your status."

"Then let's go with a Land Rover."

"You brat, so you knew all along."

"Hahaha~~~ Boss, what are we doing so early in the morning? What mission are we on?"

"It's my personal mission. Let's go to the Player Black Market first and retrieve the Fearless One."

"Okay!"

Around 10 o'clock, the Player Black Market.

In the crowd, Old Ma spotted me immediately and came straight up to me. "Ding Han, didn't you say you didn't have any missions lately? What are you doing at the black market?"

"I need to talk to you about something."

I put my arm around Old Ma's shoulder and asked, "Old Ma, do you sell Expansion Crystal on the black market?"

"Yes, I have..."

Old Ma laughed heartily, "There's nothing you can't buy, only things you haven't thought of. The current price of Expansion Crystal is around 50,000 per cubic meter. How much do you want to buy?"

"Damn, it's so expensive..."

I frowned, somewhat speechless. "Can I buy on credit?"

"Most people can't do it, but you can!"

Old Ma asked, "How much do you want?"

"Give me 200 cubic meters, I owe you 10 million, I'll pay you back as soon as possible."

"Okay, wait for me."

Not long after, Old Ma returned, pulling out piles of Expansion Crystal from his storage space. I immediately used them one by one, leaving Aji dumbfounded and exclaiming in amazement.

In just a few minutes, my Dimensional Storage Space reached 625 cubic meters, which is more than enough to fit the Fearless One sitting down!

They brought Aji to the underground warehouse, where the inactive Dauntless stood like a giant.

"Aji, make it sit down and shrink its body."

"Good!"

Aji stepped forward and patted the Dauntless's steel shell. "Buddy, sit down and shrink a bit, let me take you out for some fresh air!"

Instantly, the roar of the mechs rang out, and the Fearless was successfully activated, sitting down on the ground with a thud, buzzing like a punching bag.

After shutting down the machine, I stepped forward and placed one hand over the Fearless One. Instantly, dimensional ripples surged, enveloping the Fearless One's entire body and gently sending it into my Dimensional Storage Space.

We went out and drove to a bustling area in the South City District of the city to have lunch with Aji.

"Boss, our specific mission is..."

During the meal, Aji asked cautiously.

"Don't ask, just follow along."

"Okay!"

In the afternoon, I took out my phone, dialed a virtual number, and spoke directly with Xiao Ai.

According to information I found online, Xie Zheng's permanent residence is a villa in Jingxiu Garden. He has no sons, only a daughter who lives with him and her family. He also has a granddaughter who shares his surname and is named Xie Xie.

Xie Zheng cherished this granddaughter as the apple of his eye.

Xie Xie for attending a kindergarten near Jingxiu Garden. The kindergarten's pick-up and drop-off records show that Xie Zheng personally picks up his granddaughter more than 80% of the time. This granddaughter is the apple of his eye.

Therefore, I have weaknesses, and Xie Zheng has weaknesses too.

To make someone feel fear and pain, you should definitely target their weaknesses.

"Xiao Ai."

Sitting under a tree in the park, I calmly said, "Collect Xie Zheng's voice data to simulate his voice. Also, hack into the kindergarten teacher's phone and display a virtual account as Xie Zheng's number; it will be useful later."

"Understood."

"By the way, in Yue Ning Group's work schedule today, does Xie Zheng need to work overtime or attend a meeting?"

"Data shows that Xie Zheng's meeting will end at 4 PM. Based on the recent fluctuations in his work hours, there's an 86% chance Xie Zheng will leave on time today!"

"Very good."

I nodded and smiled, my plan gradually coming to fruition.

"Boss..."

Aji, standing nearby, asked, "We're not doing something bad, are we?"

"Do you think I'm a bad person?"

"No!"

"Then stop being so suspicious."

OK!

It's 4 PM.

Aji and I arrived at the kindergarten where Xie Xie lived.

The children are currently lining up, waiting for their parents to pick them up.

I changed into a suit and joined the queue.

"Middle class, Xie Xie."

When it was my turn, I smiled at the pretty kindergarten teacher and said, "Hello, I'm Xie Zheng 'Manager Xie subordinate. He has a meeting today and can't come, so he asked me to pick you up first, Xie Xie, and then take you to the company."

"Oh?"

The teacher was alert; she brought over a rather cute little boy, pointed at me, and said, "Xie Xie, do you know this older brother?"

"I don't know him!"

"Or..."

I was a little embarrassed. "Could you call our Manager Xie to confirm?"

"OK."

The teacher did indeed dial Xie Zheng's number.

Of course, this number is a virtual number, which Xiao Ai has already changed. When you call it, you will only hear Xie Zheng's voice simulated by Xiao Ai. In addition, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, even Xie Xie's mother's number has been remotely changed and tampered with.

After finishing the call, the teacher turned to me and smiled, "What's your name?"

"Chen Dongqing."

Sorry, Lao Chen, I borrowed your name this time!

"OK!"

The teacher smiled and said, "Please sign our pick-up and drop-off record, then you can take Xie Xie to see Grandpa."

"Xie Xie you so much, teacher!"

I nodded and smiled, signed the papers, and said, "Xie Xie, let's go."

"Brother, you're not a bad person, are you?" the little girl asked, half believing and half doubting.

I immediately squatted down and put on a righteous face. "Hmph, have you ever seen a bad guy look like this?"

"No!"

She laughed and said, "My brother looks like Ultraman Tiga..."

I laughed and said, "Then let's follow the light and keep going!"

The kindergarten teacher was laughing hysterically, while I Xie Xie her and got on S680.

"Brother, aren't we going to Grandpa's company? This road doesn't seem right, does it?" Xie Xie quickly noticed Qi Dian.

"Grandpa's in a meeting, he can't have lunch with us today. Xie Xie, what would you like to eat? I'll take you!"

"I want to eat KFC Crazy Thursday!"

I was shocked.

Are these the kids from rich families? They can't even afford Crazy Thursday?

On second thought, it's probably because Xie Zheng thinks KFC isn't very nutritious, so she never lets Xie eat it. But many of the kids at Xie Xie's school eat it often, so Xie Xie is very envious. This crazy Thursday has become a nightmare for the little girl.

"Cough cough..."

Aji, who was driving, said, "Boss, is this really Crazy Thursday?"

"Of course, it's a work lunch!"

"Hahaha, okay!"

So, we took Xie Xie to a Crazy Thursday meal, and the little girl had a wonderful time.

After dinner, I took her to the nearby amusement park to play. We rode the rocking horses, and looking at the little girl's innocent smile, I really felt like a bad uncle.

But there was no other way; the other party had already threatened Lin Qingying's life, and I had to do something, even if it meant going against my conscience.

While Xie Xie was having fun, I used my virtual account to film a video of her on the carousel and sent it to Xie Zheng.

"Who are you?! You...!"

Xie Zheng replied, seemingly very agitated.

"Don't call the police, or you'll face the consequences. Go home and wait quietly. I'll take Xie Xie home around 8 PM."

"Who... who are you?!"

I ignored it and shut down the computer.

Around eight o'clock, Xie Xie, her face covered in sweat, grabbed my hand and said, "Brother Ding Han, let's go home. It's so late, Grandpa will scold us..."

"Okay, Grandpa is already waiting for you at home. Let's go back."

"Uh-huh!"

So, they drove to Jingxiu Garden and stopped a few dozen meters away from Xie Zheng's house.

Afterwards, I took Xie Xie's hand and led Aji through a small path to the back garden of Xie Zheng's detached villa. The garden was dimly lit and pitch black.

"Xie Xie."

I crouched down, ruffled the little girl's hair, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to ride in a mecha?"

"Mech... mech?"

The little girl was stunned, her eyes widening. "Like those mechs in cartoons?"

"Yes!"

"Does Brother Ding Han really have a mecha?"

"Yes, you'll see it soon!"

With that, he summoned the Dauntless directly in the garden. Aji quickly started the engine, got into the cockpit, and the Dauntless's lights instantly turned on!

I bent down, hugged Xie Xie, jumped up, and pulled her onto the shoulders of the fearless one.

The sound of the mechs was quickly detected, the backyard lights came on, and then Xie Zheng rushed out looking anxious. He stared at the Fearless in disbelief, then recognized me and Xie Xie.

"Ding Han, you..." Xie Zheng's expression changed drastically.

"Xie Zheng, Xiao Ying isn't dead. Aren't you disappointed?"

I picked up Xie Xie and leaped off the mech. With the Daredevil Mech as a backdrop, I led the little girl step by step toward Xie Zheng. At the same time, the Power Sword in my right hand, which had been gray, activated and glowed with a fiery red light!
