Chapter 30 The Moon of Yesteryear
However, she did know the answer to Cai Huai's question. The effective range of the 98K with iron sights is actually only about 500 meters. If a scope is attached, the effective range can be increased to about 900 meters. With her abilities, she could indeed modify it into a sniper rifle similar to the 98K, and even improve its stability and extend the range to 1000 meters with a scope.
But now is not the right time to make modifications. She needs to first put the two rifle blueprints she originally designed into production and then equip them on the soldiers, so as to gradually narrow the gap in weaponry between China and Japan.
The war was about to spread to Shanghai. Even though Xie Ning knew he couldn't change the overall situation, he still wanted the 19th Army to have better weapons so he could take down a few more bastards.
Xie Ning never expected that he would be the one to get into trouble first.
Zhang Congzhi went to another place to purchase goods, so Xie Ning made several more trips to the factory, not only to check the machines in the factory on a daily basis, but also to inspect some of the workers.
She needs workers for her factory in Huai Shu Ling, and after discussing it with the Zhang brothers, the best way is to find existing skilled workers. Therefore, Xie Ning has been coming to observe from time to time recently.
Then it was common for him to meet some bosses who came to sign contracts. Then he would be invited. Since they were clients, Xie Ning couldn't refuse, so he thought he would go and sit for a while and then find an excuse to slip away.
After tasting the wine and noticing its unusual flavor, Cheney realized something was wrong.
Out of caution, she would smell the liquid before drinking it and then take a small sip, so the drug in it didn't have much of an effect on her.
She never expected that someone would use a tranquilizer dart to prick her!
Cai Huai was nearby, and Xie Ning felt relieved, thinking that nothing serious should happen. But then gunshots rang out, and the crowd instantly descended into chaos.
Feeling groggy, Xie Ning cursed under his breath, then used the act of resistance to inject himself with a small vial of reagent.
The feeling of a needle piercing the skin is really painful.
After gradually regaining consciousness, Xie Ning stopped resisting and pretended to be unconscious, then shook her head at Cai Huai, who was walking towards her through the crowd.
Cai Huai paused for a moment, but still followed, only doing so more discreetly.
The waiter helped Xie Ning to a room, then threw her onto the bed. He picked up the phone on the bedside table, dialed a number, and nodded slightly to the woman in the shadows. "I'll bring someone over in fifteen minutes. Hurry up."
"I understand. Remember to make a big fuss. Mr. Xie has a lot of pride, and he won't be able to shirk responsibility then."
Xie Ning's face, buried under the covers, darkened. She didn't recognize the waiter's voice, but she recognized this woman's voice. Wasn't this Hu Youya?
She thought that since she gradually withdrew from teaching and repeatedly declined the Hu family's dinner invitations, they had given up on her. Little did she expect that they would be waiting for her here.
As the door opened and closed again, Xie Ning, who had slightly opened her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief; this one was much easier to deal with.
"Sir, you are the kind of person who refuses a toast and then has to drink a forfeit. If you had accepted my advances, we would have been married by now, and you would still be a virtuous and respected gentleman admired by all. However, after tonight, you will be a bastard who forces female students on you. But it doesn't matter, I am willing to be with you. When the time comes, you will come back to Japan with me and serve the Emperor."
Hu Youya touched Xie Ning's fair and smooth face, her eyes filled with infatuation.
Xie Ning couldn't stand it. He grabbed Hu Youya's wrist and twisted it, dislocating it. While Hu Youya was in pain, he pushed her knee upwards, then flipped over, grabbed Hu Youya's other hand, and pulled it behind her back, pressing her back hard with his knee.
Xie Ning, with an indifferent expression, dislocated Hu Youya's other wrist as well.
"You're faking it!" Hu Youya's face contorted in pain, but she was ruthless. She forcefully rolled over and then moved her feet slightly to kick Xie Ning.
puff--
The sound of a short blade piercing into a thigh was heard. Xie Ning showed no mercy, then slid the blade down to his ankle and severed his Achilles tendon.
The intense pain caused Hu Youya to cry out, but Xie Ning quickly covered her mouth with the hem of her skirt.
Hu Youya was now lying on the bed like a lump of mud, unable to resist any longer. Her eyes, when she looked at Xie Ning, were filled with hatred and fear, as if she had never expected Xie Ning to be so ruthless.
Xie Ning shook his hand, realizing that restraining Hu Youya wasn't as easy as he had imagined. Just as Xie Ning was thinking about how to interrogate Hu Youya next, the door opened.
Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Cai Huai carrying a person dressed as a waiter.
Cai Huai was somewhat stunned. He thought that Xie Ning might not be as weak as he appeared, but he never expected Xie Ning to be so ruthless.
Xie Ning remained silent, and just as she was wondering whether to explain something, Cai Huai spoke up, "Mr. Xie, next time you can leave this kind of thing to me."
After hesitating for a moment, Cai Huai continued, "When we get back, I'll teach you how to kill more decisively. You sprained your Achilles tendon, and this person's wrist wasn't dislocated, it was probably broken. You still have the strength."
Xie Ning: ...Thank you for the compliment?
Looking at Cai Huai's sincere face, she was speechless for a moment.
The banquet was held at a hotel, which the other party thought would make it easier to attack Xie Ning and escape. However, this also made it easier for Xie Ning and Cai Huai to transport the two people out.
Of course, far more than just these two people were involved in the incident; Xiao Yang dealt with the others—two died and one was captured alive.
Inside the car, Cai Huai looked at Xie Ning with a puzzled expression. "Mr. Xie, it's chilly at night. You'd better not open the window, or you'll catch a cold."
Xie Ning felt a tightness in her chest, but she eventually closed the window, though the heat deep within her body was hard to dispel.
Seeing Xie Ning's face getting redder and redder and that he was sweating a lot, Cai Huai became even more worried. "Mr. Xie, do you have a fever?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Xie Ning's forehead. The burning temperature startled Cai Huai, who exclaimed, "Why is it so hot?"
Xie Ning felt a little dizzy and subconsciously rubbed her forehead against the cool substance. She was really hot. She thought it was an anesthetic, but she didn't expect it to be an aphrodisiac.
They've fallen for it.
"Xiao Yang, let's go to the hospital."
The word "hospital" jolted Xie Ning awake for a moment, and she quickly straightened her face and said, "No need, Xiao Yang, drive home."
"Go to the hospital."
"go home."
......
Xiao Yang: ...Who should I listen to? Mr. Xie is the most important, but Brother Huai is too fierce, and he's afraid of getting beaten up when he gets back.
"Mr. Xie, you were probably injected with some kind of stimulant. You should go to the hospital now. Soaking in cold water at home won't help."
Cai Huai said calmly.
Xie Ning closed her eyes. She could guess the consequences, but there was no way to undo it now. She never expected that her identity would be exposed at this time because of this situation.
"Go to the hospital."
She was careless! This lesson must be learned!
