Qu Jianlei trusted Wu Laoliu fairly well, not only because of Jiao Daoren's slave mark, but also because he had cleared the man's name.
So even the Energy Block-powered detection device could be entrusted to him.
But he truly had not expected the man to take the initiative and begin surveying the surrounding area.
Wu Laoliu was now free of debt, and everyone nearby knew him, so he did not need to worry about his own safety.
On the fourth day of his survey, he ran into Yan Xuemin, who had come from Yan Family Market.
Yan Xuemin had heard that the man had been wandering around everywhere day after day, and he very much wanted to know what he was doing.
Once he understood the situation, he grew extremely excited. "Red Leaf Ridge actually... actually..."
"This is a good thing. Want to test how well it can detect Heavenly Devil Qi? I'll arrange it!"
Yan Xuemin himself was the Yan Family elder in charge of external affairs. His connections with the major powers were more than numerous.
However, Wu Laoliu said that this was still a prototype, and Red Leaf Ridge had not authorized him to go elsewhere. He needed to ask for instructions first.
After receiving the news, Jiao Daoren considered it for a moment and decided not to disturb Qu Jianlei.
"If it's a place under suspicion, you can make a trip. New equipment always needs testing... Just keep a firm hand on the self-destruct switch!"
Even though it was only a prototype, Qu Jianlei had still added a self-destruct switch. It had not taken much effort anyway.
Wu Laoliu also knew how important this thing was—an exclusive treasure could not possibly be allowed to fall into others' hands for study.
He was gone for six days.
