"certainly……"
Li Jianfeng raised his hand and waved it in front of Bai Lu's eyes, his movements quick yet frank.
"I accidentally blew it up while working on a torpedo yesterday."
Fearing Bai Lu wouldn't believe him, Wu You immediately chimed in: "Brother Feng developed an even more powerful torpedo. He couldn't dodge in time during the inspection of the finished product and it accidentally exploded."
Although the white gauze only flashed past Bai Lu's eyes for a moment, she clearly saw the area of the gauze as it was withdrawn, which was basically within the little finger of Li Jianfeng's left hand.
"How could you be so careless? Is it serious?"
Shang Chuyao stared at Li Jianfeng's hand in shock: "Could it have been blown up?"
"Are you kidding me!"
Li Jianfeng ignored Shang Chuyao and simply waved his hand to explain to Bai Lu, "It's just a minor cut. I've already applied medicine and bandaged it. It'll be fine in a few days."
Xiao Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at Li Jianfeng's flailing hands, his gaze darkening as if he were deep in thought.
Seeing that Li Jianfeng looked relaxed, Bai Lu didn't ask any more questions: "Then you should take good care of your injuries. If it's inconvenient, don't go to Xiao Family Village tomorrow..."
“Go! Of course we’re going!” Li Jianfeng interrupted Bai Lu and made the decision immediately.
He didn't want to go at first, but now he does: "I still need to take torpedoes to blast the mountain!"
Bai Lu: "..."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
Shang Chuyao: "..."
Wu You wanted to cry but had no tears.
Didn't we agree to behave ourselves these next few days?
Why are they going crazy again!
Bai Lu looked at Li Jianfeng's serious expression and her lips twitched slightly: "Are you sure you want to blow up the mountain?"
Li Jianfeng nodded vigorously: "Absolutely! The winter bamboo shoots are all on the mountain. How can I get first place if they don't explode?"
Bai Lu: "..."
"It seems your new torpedo development is very successful; it can even blow up mountains."
"Sister-in-law, you flatter me!" Li Jianfeng smiled smugly, his mouth almost stretching to the back of his head.
Bai Lu remembered that Xiao Cheng also had a mountain in Xiao Family Village: "A-Cheng, do we have bamboo shoots on our mountain?"
Xiao Cheng was very satisfied with this statement and, in a show of mercy, granted him special privileges: "Let him go and blow up the mountain gully."
Chinese fir and bamboo cannot coexist. With Chinese fir covering the entire mountain, bamboo is relegated to the ravines.
Bai Lu immediately understood.
Tomorrow's match will be tough, and there are other important events happening at the same time, which will have an impact on the mountain.
We can only temporarily make Li Jianfeng bomb the mountain gullies first, and then give him Dasun Mountain after things have settled down.
"Arrive at Xiaojia Village at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't bring anything. If you like winter bamboo shoots, just take a few sacks to pack them up," Bai Lu instructed with a light laugh.
"Okay~" Li Jianfeng put two fingers together and made a gesture of acceptance in front of his forehead.
"See you tomorrow, sister-in-law!"
"See you tomorrow."
The car sped away.
When he completely disappeared, Li Jianfeng had already pulled back to the front of the car, his gloomy gaze sweeping over the bandaged area on his left hand.
He put his other hand in his pocket, took out a cigarette case, opened the lid, and found it empty.
Li Jianfeng wanted Wu You to buy it, but when he looked up, he saw a group of underlings sneaking out from the shadows across the street, like rats that couldn't be seen in the light.
He frowned in annoyance, threw away the cigarette pack, and turned to leave: "That's enough for today."
"Bang!" The car door slammed shut.
The car sped away.
Wu You shook his head and sighed softly, then went to instruct his underlings to suspend the work that was only half completed.
Go somewhere cool and stay there. Don't show your face in front of the boss these next few days unless you have to.
The big boss might think that Li Jianfeng stayed at the manor out of loyalty, but little did he know... it was out of hatred.

When Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng arrived home, Xiao Dazhuang had already brought the fish into the yard and was scaling them in the kitchen.
As soon as Shang Chuyao got out of the car, she ran to look.
"What a big fish! How many pounds does it weigh?"
"Ten catties." Xiao Dazhuang was about to kill the fish, so he turned around to avoid splashing fish blood on Shang Chuyao's clothes.
During the last barbecue, Shang Chuyao said she didn't like getting oil, blood, soup, or other things splashed on her clothes.
It has a strong, unpleasant odor and is difficult to wash.
Shang Chuyao thought Xiao Dazhuang was avoiding her. Knowing his outspoken nature, she asked directly, "Why are you turning away and not letting me see?"
Xiao Dazhuang didn't turn around, and answered honestly, "You said last time that you didn't like your clothes being splattered with blood."
He then slammed the stick down on the ground.
The big fish twitched twice and then died.
Shang Chuyao felt very pleased after hearing Xiao Dazhuang's answer, and since she was happy, she didn't turn around with him.
"This fish is so big, what are we going to cook it as?"
On the way back, Bai Lu said that Xiao Dazhuang would be staying for dinner tonight.
Xiao Dazhuang said matter-of-factly, "Since you like grilled fish, I'll make grilled fish."
Shang Chuyao's comfort vanished instantly.
Bai Lu stood silently before the sink, and Xiao Wei remained silent.
Why can't we just remove "sister-in-law said"?
The honest man said no, adding, "Did you receive the New Year's greetings? My sister-in-law asked me to send them."
Bai Lu: "..." Who asked you?
Xiao Wei: "..." Who asked you?
Shang Chuyao: "..." Why are you explaining?
I sent you New Year's greetings, but you didn't reply.
As Xiao Dazhuang gutted the big fish, he explained, "I sent it again later, but you still haven't replied. So, did you receive the New Year's greetings?"
"I received it and replied to you." Shang Chuyao explained expressionlessly, "I replied using a new number. When you sent me the message, my phone accidentally fell into the bathtub, so I got a new phone and a new number to send you New Year's greetings."
She confirmed: "Two replies were received."
And confirmed: "The last three digits of the phone number are 999."
"So that number was yours!"
