The ensuing exchange was primarily conducted with Qiao Siyu speaking and Xie Yusheng listening.

She always spoke slowly and gently, with a tone that was slightly unpleasant to some.

Hearing Xie Yusheng...

Without thinking, I took out my phone and glanced at it.

This behavior made Qiao Siyu on the other end of the line frown. "Asheng, could you please turn off your phone in this kind of situation?"

"I've already muted it."

Xie Yusheng said, "However, my phone rang on and off for about half an hour just now. I guess it made more than a dozen calls. I'm afraid it was something important."

"What could be more important than this? The most important thing for you right now is to be with me and celebrate this sacred wedding of our lives."

"I..."

Xie Yusheng was about to say something when his phone rang again.

The number displayed above...

"It's my third grandfather."

Xie Yusheng said.

Qiao Siyu disliked having her enjoyable meal disturbed by outsiders.

He immediately said, "You can go back in a bit."

Xie Yusheng ignored him and answered the phone directly.

This scene filled Qiao Siyu's pretty face with displeasure.

"Third Grandfather?"

"Xiao Sheng, are you working at Dai'er's private kitchen now?"

The urgent voice of Third Grandfather Xie Hongxing came through the phone.

"Right."

"Don't leave. Someone will come to pick you up in five minutes at most. After you leave with them, answer all their questions honestly."

Xie Hongxing said.

"Oh? I'm with Siyu right now..."

"Don't worry about her, they'll be here in five minutes at most."

Xie Hongxing's tone became more forceful.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yusheng knew the seriousness of the situation and quickly replied, "I understand."

After he hung up the phone, Qiao Siyu on the other end stretched out her slender, fair hand. "Give me the phone."

"What?"

"Ah Sheng."

Qiao Siyu's voice was as gentle as ever, but her tone carried an air of unyielding authority. "We are discussing an important matter in our lives, and at a time like this, you're taking all sorts of phone calls..."

"This is my third grandfather's phone number."

Xie Yusheng said.

"Don't you know that interrupting someone is very impolite? I don't want you to be a rude person... However, I will help you change."

As Qiao Siyu spoke, she reiterated, "Give me your phone, I'll keep it safe for you."

"My third grandfather said someone is coming to see me soon, so I have to leave for a while."

Xie Yusheng said.

His tone seemed lighter as he spoke, as if he had long wanted to leave.

"Leave?"

Qiao Siyu said, "Doesn't Third Grandfather know that you are with me?"

"It sounds like something important."

What could be more important than me?

Qiao Siyu looked at Xie Yusheng: "Asheng, you're an adult now. You don't need to always follow your family's wishes. This kind of behavior... to put it simply, is called a 'mama's boy.' I hope you can be independent and not listen to your family's opinions in everything..."

Xie Yusheng looked at Qiao Siyu's picture...

She has a pretty face that's almost as good as any of the most popular celebrities.

For some reason, the thought of spending the rest of his life with her filled him with an inexplicable fear.

Qiao Siyu noticed that Xie Yusheng's gaze was off, and seemed to realize that she had been too hasty. She softened her tone and said, "Listening to elders is not a bad thing, but we should also have our own ideas, shouldn't we? So, let's start by not letting our family disturb our wonderful date."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand again and looked at Xie Yusheng.

The meaning conveyed in their eyes was quite clear.

Xie Yusheng looked at her, gripping his phone tightly, but didn't let go.

Qiao Siyu did not back down, her face bearing a serene smile.

This almost confrontational atmosphere lasted for quite a while, until finally...

"Tap tap tap!"

The arrival of three people in this elegant house disrupted the atmosphere.

One of the men, who exuded a military aura, immediately fixed his gaze on Xie Yusheng and strode over. "Mr. Xie Yusheng."

Xie Yusheng seemed to realize something, quickly put his phone back in his pocket, and replied, "Yes, that's me."

Defense Agency.

The man showed his identification. "Mr. Xie should have already told you that there is an important matter that requires your cooperation in the inquiry. Please come with us."

"National Defense Agency?"

Xie Yusheng was taken aback, but immediately said, "I know, let's go now."

After saying that, he immediately turned to Qiao Siyu and said apologetically, "Siyu, you see, I really have something to do."

Qiao Siyu frowned, glanced at the man, but ultimately did not stop him. "Then go and come back soon."

Xie Yusheng nodded, as if he had escaped from a cage, and quickly followed the man away.

Outside, three cars were already waiting.

In addition, it appears that two traffic police motorcycles were also responsible for clearing the way.

This scene surprised him slightly.

"Please get in the car."

The man said.

Xie Yusheng didn't dare to delay. He got into the car and, amidst the sound of sirens, quickly drove out of the city.

This scene made Xie Yusheng, who was sitting in the car, feel uneasy.

Although his family had some money and had joined the ranks of billionaires, that was family assets; his own assets...

The fact that he also has to work at his uncle's observatory suggests that he has slightly more disposable income than the average person.

Such treatment, with traffic police clearing the way, is something even his father and grandfather could hardly enjoy, let alone him.

"What happened?"

Xie Yusheng couldn't help but ask.

"Someone will explain it to you when you arrive at your destination."

The man said.

Seeing this, Xie Yusheng decided not to ask any further questions.

With traffic police leading the way, the vehicle maintained a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour for more than half an hour before entering a cluster of buildings.

This complex of buildings...

He knows him.

"Central South University?"

The vehicle drove for several minutes before stopping at a building that resembled a laboratory.

By this time, there were many more security personnel here, including several armed soldiers on guard duty.

This left Xie Yusheng quite taken aback.

Although Central South University has two national-level laboratories, is such a high level of secrecy really necessary?

He was soon taken to a house on the edge of the laboratory complex.

When he arrived, there were already people waiting there.

There was an acquaintance inside.

Du Dongyuan.

"Xiao Sheng is here, have a seat."

Du Dongyuan greeted Xie Yusheng.

"Grandpa Du."

Xie Yusheng greeted them, while looking at the other people in the house with a puzzled expression.

However, Du Dongyuan did not introduce himself, but exchanged pleasantries before getting straight to the point. "Xiao Sheng, don't be nervous. I called you here just to ask you for some information. Do you still remember the two documents you sent me two months ago?"

Two months ago?

Xie Yusheng was taken aback.

Then something came to mind.

The next second, he seemed somewhat surprised. "Yes, that's right. If I remember correctly, it was a material formula and a missile design? Could it be... useful?"

"It is indeed somewhat useful."

Du Dongyuan said, "However, this material and that design shouldn't be your work, right?"

"No."

Xie Yusheng readily agreed; there was no way to hide something like this.

He said, "I just thought this document seemed plausible, so I sent it to Grandpa Du to see if it could inspire him. Now it seems..."

He glanced at the people in the room.

Although Du Dongyuan didn't introduce them, the people sitting there exuded an aura of authority or dignity, so he smiled and said, "It seems to be of some help."

"It was helpful, and quite helpful."

As Du Dongyuan spoke, an elderly man beside him urged him on, asking, "So, where did you get this information from?"

"This..."

Xie Yusheng looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Is it inconvenient to disclose? Is the other party's identity special, or did they request confidentiality?"

"No, not really..."

Xie Yusheng said with a hint of strangeness, "I don't know where they came from. At first, I thought it was just a hoax... a prank, but then I wondered if it was a spy agency. Later... I myself didn't know who they were... or who they were..."

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up impatiently and asked, "Could you tell me more about the organizational structure of those people?"

Du Dongyuan glanced at the man and introduced him, "This is Wang Chixi, Director of the National Defense Administration."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yusheng's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but say, "That black gold material and missile design drawings... are quite extraordinary?"

Considering that this information was obtained from Xie Yusheng, Wang Chixi nodded to Du Dongyuan.

At that moment, Du Dongyuan said, "I don't know much about that missile design. According to them, it adopts a completely new design concept, and... its technology is ahead of its time, at least twenty years ahead of domestic short- and medium-range air-to-air weapons. The only regret is that it lacks the most crucial engine part. What I am more familiar with is that material called 'black gold'..."

At this point, he took a deep breath. "This material not only far exceeded our expectations in terms of various properties, but it also showed us a completely new direction for research. Its emergence is almost comparable to the discovery and birth of a new element on the periodic table..."

Du Dongyuan spoke for quite a while, until Xie Yusheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He had initially thought the description of this black gold material sounded so convincing, almost like the truth, but he never expected...

It's actually true!?

"In short, this material is completely different from our current material system. Putting aside its own data, the key is the change it brings to the materials industry. This change is like adding a zero to a huge number. It's a truly cutting-edge technology."

Du Dongyuan sighed as he said this, "The main structure of this material is fundamentally different from the materials we come into contact with. If someone told me that this was alien technology, I might believe it."

"Alien technology..."

Xie Yusheng suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Xiao Sheng, can you tell us... what kind of organization is this? Could we try to contact them again to see if we can purchase the complete Sky Sword missile from them? If I'm not mistaken, they might possess mature controlled nuclear fusion technology..."

An old man standing nearby asked.

"Mature controlled nuclear fusion technology..."

Xie Yusheng glanced at the bigwigs in the room and couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Grandpa Du, Director Wang, if I said... that person... really claims to be an alien, saying he comes from a place called 'Qianxing', would you believe me?"
