Seeing Manager Tan, who usually relied on the Champs-Élysées name to play jackal to a tiger, finally get dealt with.
The sales clerks and shopping assistants all around clapped and cheered.
They openly declared that Wang Yixue had done a wonderful thing.
They praised the girl as though she were a hero who had rid the people of a scourge.
Wang Yixue tipped her chin at Xu Fan, like a child showing off a perfect test score.
It was rather cute.
Just then, another burst of screeching brakes came from outside.
This time, however, the security guards made no sound at all, as though they had gone mute.
A flurry of hurried footsteps followed.
Eight soldiers in camouflage, fully armed with loaded weapons, swiftly entered the lobby and took up advantageous positions.
Countless people sucked in a breath at the sight of those dark gun barrels.
Their faces filled with fear.
Their bodies involuntarily shrank back.
Even Xu Fan was startled.
These were clearly military personnel. What were they doing here?
Surely they hadn't come to buy designer handbags too?
Didn't the military advocate thrift?
As though she had guessed what Xu Fan was thinking.
Wang Yixue explained to him,
"I know these guards. They're here for you!"
"For me?"
Hearing this, Xu Fan was a little bewildered.
The sales clerks, shopping assistants, and others beside him widened their eyes even further.
Question marks covered their foreheads.
Did Xu Fan have some other astonishing identity?
A bad feeling also rose in Manager Tan's heart.
As everyone watched in shock and uncertainty.
Two elderly men in their seventies strode in from outside.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Hua, over here!"
Wang Yixue waved to the two elders.
Xu Fan recognized Elder Wang and Elder Hua the instant he saw them.
He abruptly stood up and straightened his back.
A solemn expression appeared on his face.
He was a student at Zhonghai National University of Defense Technology.
He was no stranger to Elder Wang and Elder Hua.
Both men had rendered outstanding service and were pillars of their motherland.
They deserved everyone's heartfelt respect.
Even his father, back when he was still alive, had hoped for a chance to conduct research under Elder Wang and Elder Hua.
Sadly, misfortune had struck.
His father's unfulfilled wish had also become the driving force that had always kept him moving forward.
"Xu Fan!"
Elder Wang hurried up to Xu Fan.
"May I ask, that... thing of Yixue's, did you develop and build it?"
His voice was filled with urgency and anticipation.
"Yes," Xu Fan answered honestly.
"Well done!"
Elder Wang's rough hands gripped Xu Fan's arms tightly and shook them twice in excitement.
He was as happy as a child.
Beside him, Elder Hua also kept praising Xu Fan.
"Unyielding perseverance, service to the nation and its people-a pillar of the country!"
"Huh?"
Xu Fan froze for a moment. The mecha he had developed was indeed awesome.
But wasn't this praise a little excessive?
Unyielding perseverance? Service to the nation and its people?
Who told them all that?
It was making Xu Fan a little embarrassed.
He hurriedly replied modestly,
"You're both too kind. Really, far too kind!"
"As open-minded as a valley-a man destined for great things! Excellent, excellent!" The more Elder Wang looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
The corner of Xu Fan's mouth twitched despite himself.
What was up with this old gentleman?
He had never seen anyone praise someone so relentlessly at their first meeting. This was praise to the death.
Was there some misunderstanding here?
Someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly looked startled.
Recognizing the elderly man's identity, they widened their eyes, their face filled with disbelief.
"He... he's actually Elder Wang! Then the other gentleman must be Elder Hua!"
"Who are Elder Wang and Elder Hua?" a nearby sales clerk asked in confusion.
"Damn, you don't even know them? They're among Xia Nation's most highly decorated scientists!"
"My God!"
Cries of astonishment rose one after another.
Hearing this, Liu Li, who sat slumped on the floor, looked even worse.
Even decorated scientists were praising Xu Fan like this!
How laughable that he had once had the chance to use Xu Fan as a high branch, flying up to become a phoenix, only to lose that opportunity through greed.
Eyes, yet no sight!
Manager Tan's expression was so gloomy it could have dripped water. The higher Xu Fan's status, the more serious the situation became.
The smaller his chances of being bailed out became.
He could barely breathe.
The situation was very bad.
Just then.
Another commotion sounded outside.
Braking and closing doors happened in one smooth sequence.
"Hahaha..."
Accompanied by hearty laughter, a dark-skinned, rugged-looking middle-aged man in military uniform strode over.
A gleaming general's star stood out on his shoulder insignia.
"Which one is Young Brother Xu? Let me have a look!"
"Hiss-"
Sharp intakes of breath sounded all around.
Countless people's eyes widened like bronze bells.
They could not help exclaiming.
"Holy shit, even a major general calls Xu Fan his brother!"
"I'm fucking shattered!"
"Mommy, how did I accidentally end up on my knees?"
"..."
Manager Tan was so shocked that his face turned deathly pale.
His upper and lower teeth crashed together frantically with a clacking sound.
His gums were already battered raw.
He was dead for sure now.
With connections like Xu Fan's, what blind fool would dare bail him out?
The god of longevity hanging himself-were they tired of living?
Liu Li huddled in a corner with lifeless eyes, as though she had become an idiot.
She wished she could gouge out her eyes and feed them to the dogs.
Only now did she understand.
Xu Fan was not merely a true dragon, but a five-clawed golden dragon!
"Uncle Guozhong, what brings you here?"
Wang Yixue called out immediately when she saw the newcomer.
"Young Yixue, since you all came, of course I came too!"
Li Guozhong laughed heartily.
He walked up to Xu Fan, looked him up and down, and gave him a light punch.
"Good lad!" he praised.
Xu Fan felt a little overwhelmed by the favor.
Major general, my good sir, have you mistaken me for someone else?
I really don't know you!
Before anyone could speak.
A great crowd poured in right behind him.
"Elder Wang, Elder Hua, Division Commander Li, hello!"
"Oh, Old Xue, Old Hong... since when did you enjoy joining the excitement too?"
Elder Wang clearly knew these people.
"With you two elders here, and Division Commander Li as well, it would hardly be proper if us juniors didn't show our faces!"
Both sides clearly knew each other and stepped forward to exchange greetings.
They were all from the relevant authorities!??
Manager Tan's pupils suddenly trembled.
These faces matched the officials he had seen on Zhonghai Television Station!
These people were all high-ranking officials stationed in Zhonghai who wielded real power!
A cold breath surged up sharply.
Manager Tan's hands and feet began trembling uncontrollably.
With this lineup, even being friends with Eagle Sauce's president would be useless!
He was destined to sit in prison until the floor wore through.
What would originally have been ten years could now fucking become life!
He could no longer withstand this kind of shock.
At last, his eyes rolled back.
His legs kicked twice.
His hands curled into chicken claws.
He stopped moving completely.
Liu Li was already utterly stupefied. He did not know who those last arrivals were.
In any case, they were existences far beyond the reach of a small fry like her.
Like a clay or wooden statue, she huddled there blankly and closed her eyes.
She bitterly regretted what she had done back then.
She accepted her fate!
And waited for the law's punishment.
After a lively round of greetings.
Wang Yixue exposed the bad things Manager Tan and Liu Li had done.
One phone call from the relevant authorities, and the two scourges were taken away in handcuffs.
Everyone dispersed.
Wang Yixue stepped on the gas and took Xu Fan back to Zhonghai Military Research Base.
Inside a ten-meter-high indoor facility.
The Crimson Sky No. 1 mecha stood quietly at the center like a fierce tiger.
Xu Fan gently pressed his palm against the mecha's lower leg.
Feeling that familiar texture, he was filled with emotion.
Seeing Xu Fan's expression, Elder Wang and Elder Hua were finally certain that he really had built this thing.
They, too, would form a similar emotional attachment to the things they developed.
Tong Yao and more than a dozen researchers gathered around the mecha with them.
Just then, Elder Wang suddenly said,
"Young Xu, since you really did develop and build this mecha, where is your research and development team? This old man would very much like to meet them."
