Chapter 583: Don’t Look At a Rare Talent of Our Country With Prejudice
After Lu Jingye brought Zi Yi to a room, he put down the luggage and got her to take a seat first. “I’ll go and get something for us to eat.”
Zi Yi nodded her head.
After Lu Jingye left the room, Zi Yi pressed her watch and a virtual screen appeared. She then quickly started doing something.
By the time Lu Jingye brought the food back to the room, Zi Yi was currently simulating the missile’s range.
Lu Jingye put the food on the table and walked behind her back to take a look. He knew what she was doing after he saw her screen.
While she typed on the virtual keyboard, Zi Yi said, “I’ve discussed it with Leader Tang. We’ll send a guided missile at the start. In a while, I’ll modify the missile they have.”
Lu Jingye did not respond.
Zi Yi then said, “I’ll install a remote control system on the missile. I can just control it from here to submerge the pirate’s ship.”
“This place is far away from the other side of the strait. Are you able to control it from such a far distance? Also, the sea breeze during this season is stronger than usual, wouldn’t there be a huge deviation?”
Zi Yi turned around and smiled at him as she said with a confident expression, “These are just minor problems.”
Lu Jingye raised his hand to touch her head. He thought for a while and said, “I’ll accompany you out to sea.”
“Why?”
“If I go, then it means you will be able to conceal your abilities to some extent because they will think that the idea and technology are mine. It won’t do you any harm this way.”
Zi Yi thought about it and nodded her head. She then continued typing on the keyboard.
“Have your meal first,” Lu Jingye said, “Since Leader Tang gave you two hours to rest, it proves that they will not take any action during these next two hours.”
Zi Yi responded with a nod and pressed a few buttons. The virtual screen and keyboard disappeared. She then headed to the table together with Lu Jingye to sit down and eat.
Lu Jingye had only arrived a few hours earlier than Zi Yi and so he was still wearing the clothing that Zi Yi had prepared for him.
Zi Yi thought of something and said, “Ah Jing, I brought some thin clothes for you. If you are feeling too warm, you can change into them.”
The lowest temperature here was around seventeen to eighteen degrees Celsius and during the day, it goes as high as twenty plus degrees Celsius. It was a vast contrast compared to the capital that was snowing all over.
The clothes Lu Jingye brought with consisted of thick layers and a down jacket. Even if he wore one of the thermal underlayers, it would still be too warm.
After hearing what Zi Yi said, he went to change into another set of clothes before he came over to have dinner with her.
They were near the sea and the food served mainly consisted of seafood.
Zi Yi’s seafood allergy had been cured ages ago and so she ate rather happily.
“This type of fish is delicious.”
As long as Zi Yi said whatever dish was delicious, Lu Jingye’s chopsticks would not reach out for that particular dish. It was only after Zi Yi had finished her meal did he finish what was leftover from those dishes.
After they finished the meal, they headed for the control center.
Lu Jianlin’s and Lu Jianjun’s faces had different expressions when they saw Zi Yi.
Lu Jianlin had his usual stern expression and he said disapprovingly when he saw her, “This is a dangerous place. Why did you come here?”
He even gave Lu Jingye a glare.
Zi Yi hastily spoke on Lu Jingye’s behalf. “Dad, I was the one who wanted to come. Ah Jing was out of town and he was unable to stop me.”
She then looked at Lu Jianjun and merely gave him a nod.
Lu Jianjun was unable to comprehend why Leader Tang brought Zi Yi along. He felt that she was here to make trouble. Even though he had not had any contact with her before, since Patriarch Lu disliked her, it must be for a reason.
He revealed a dark expression and asked, “I heard from Leader Tang that you have a method to help us defeat the pirates. I’d like to know what are you even capable of?”
He then looked at Lu Jingye and questioned him sternly, “She’s you g and ignorant, but don’t tell me you are still ignorant at your age?”
Zi Yi was unhappy and was about to rebuke him.
However, Lu Jingye pressed on her shoulders and at the same time, he said, “Yiyi was invited by Leader Tang. If Third Uncle has doubts about Yiyi’s abilities, you can directly give feedback to Leader Tang.”
“You-”
“Little Lu is right. I invited Little Zi.”
Leader Tang’s voice could be heard from the door.
He had also gone to have a meal and did not expect to hear this from Third Master Lu as soon as he returned. He faced him with a stern expression. “Comrade Lu Jianjun, no matter what kind of prejudice your Lu Family has against Little Zi, she is an important technician whom I have specially invited to help us. Please show her some respect.”
Lu Jianjun widened his eyes in surprise.
“She’s a technician? What can she do?”
“I can do what you can’t, I can also do what you can.”
As soon as Zi Yi said that, she walked over to the control station and pointed at the map under the watchful gaze of everyone. “Isn’t it just to defeat the pirates and rescue the hostages they have captured? You people can’t do it, but I can.”
“How arrogant.” Lu Jianjun had never seen someone so arrogant as her.
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at him while she asked calmly, “Do you want to make a bet?”
Second Master Lu furrowed his eyebrows. Even though he did not know what Zi Yi planned to do, but even he felt that she was too overconfident.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Jingye called out to him. “Father.”
Lu Jianlin’s gaze shift to where Lu Jingye directed him to look.
He noticed that Leader Tang was smiling!
He felt shocked. To think that Leader Tang would have such faith in Little Zi!
Just then, Leader Tang said with a smile, “Since Little Zi is so confident, Comrade Lu Jianjun, why don’t you have a bet with her?”
Lu Jianjun furrowed his brow and said grumpily, “What could I compete with her on?”
“Let’s compete to see who defeats the pirates and rescues the hostages first.”
“You- …fine!”
Lu Jianjun did not believe that as someone who had been in this line for decades, he would not be able to compete and win against an amateur.
Leader Tang looked at Lu Jianjun who looked down on Zi Yi and shook his head deep down. He then said to them, “After the previous two clashes with them, our men who are in their hands are definitely in an even more dangerous situation now. Therefore, we have to rescue them as soon as possible.”
“I intend to lead a group of people and take action tonight,” Lu Jianjun said first. “I was careless in the morning but I am well prepared now.”
Leader Tang looked at Lu Jianjun and did not stop him. He turned to Zi Yi and asked, “Little Zi, when do you intend to set off?”
“Tonight.”
Zi Yi turned to look at Lu Jingye after she answered.
Lu Jingye said, “I’ll go with Yiyi.”
Lu Jianlin looked at the two and his frown deepened. However, he did not stop them.
Since the decision was made, the three of them would definitely act right away.
Everyone headed to the harbor together.
The moment Lu Jianlun arrived at the harbor, he quickly gathered the men to make preparations.
Zi Yi said to Leader Tang, “I wish to look at the weapons you have prepared.”
Leader Tang nodded his head and got Lu Jianlin to lead her there.
The three of them headed somewhere together.
Lu Jianjun who was gathering the men looked at the three of them for a moment and furrowed his brow. He thought for a moment and walked over to Leader Tang in large strides. “Leader Tang, do you really intend to let Jingye go out to sea with her?”
Leader Tang looked at Lu Jianjun’s expression and nodded. “Yes. I believe in Little Zi’s abilities.”
Lu Jianjun’s frown deepened.
Leader Tang patted him on the shoulder and said, “Age does not matter for a genius. Comrade Lu Jianjun, don’t look at a rare talent of our country with a prejudiced gaze.”
Traces of disbelief flashed past Lu Jianjun’s eyes, but he did not say anything else and instead turned around and left.
