Li Zongmeng didn't stay long; after signing the document, he left with Wen Chaohui and Qi Xili.
The three returned to the office, and General Li pushed three of the storage rings towards them.
"What is this...?" Wen Chaohui was shocked and somewhat incredulous.
Li Zongmengguan smiled and said, "It's only right. We should have given one to each member of that team, but you all heard what Jiang Ji said. Giving them storage devices now would be a waste of materials."
Don't worry, I've kept a record of it. Once the technology is more advanced, all twenty-nine storage containers will be provided.
Li Zongmengguan understood perfectly that these people, having entered the mine, must have hidden space stones and mysterious crystals on their person.
Even if he doesn't give away the storage device for free, those people can exchange it for space stones.
There's no need to discourage people; let's just consider it a favor. It will also showcase the grandeur and strength of the capital.
Upon seeing this, Wen Chao put the three storage rings into his pocket and playfully asked, "Is one of them for Yanming?"
General Li chuckled, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "Shouldn't it be so?"
"Ha, if I had known that one crystal could be exchanged for a storage device, I would have brought a few more with me!" Wen Chaohui joked.
Li Zongmengguan smiled but didn't say anything.
When Qiu Man arrived for work, he was asked to take the two of them to eat and rest. He needed to arrange for people to take over the mines in Su City.
This was a significant matter, so a special meeting was held. The senior executives discussed it for over five hours before finalizing a preliminary plan.
The fatigue in General Li's eyes was impossible to hide. Although the bigwigs still had many questions, they urged him to rest.
General Li waved his hand: "Alright, I'll head back now. Make the arrangements, and we'll set off in three days."
After saying that, he left.
However, instead of going back to sleep, he went to Li Sikai's place.
Upon entering, one could see that Li Sikai was radiant and smiling.
"What, is this thing useful?"
“Yes, it’s very useful!” Li Sikai pulled Li Zongmengguan to his side and said, “As soon as I held that crystal in my hand, I felt an energy flow into my body. It felt very comfortable, and all the fatigue and pain disappeared. The key thing is that the space seems to like it very much.”
Li Sikai felt that the vitality in the space had recovered a little bit.
General Li nodded: "Since it's useful, I'll get you more so we can recover properly."
Li Sikai asked, "Uncle, where did you get this crystal?"
"Didn't Qiu Man say that Shen Yanming gave it to him?"
"Huh? Haha, Old Shen is quite capable, he can even find something like this!" Li Sikai was very pleased, because he had made the right friend.
General Li explained the origin of the stones: "They can be considered as having survived a great calamity, and of course, their good fortune is not light either."
"He's a good person, that's to be expected. But how did they end up in that passage?"
“I’d like to know too.” General Li’s lips curled into a sly smile. “I suspect it has something to do with Yanming.”
"You still suspect he's a spatial ability user?"
General Li shook his head: "Whether it is or not is not important, as long as he is on our side. Jiang Ji has already developed a spatial storage device, so you will be under less scrutiny from now on. Once the planet recovers, you will be free."
Li Sikai disagreed, but did not refute it.
Plantable and unplantable are two different concepts, and he didn't believe that no one would covet his space.
However, the existence of the spatial storage device would indeed mitigate a lot of risk for him. Waiting until his space...
That's right, Li Sikai had already sensed it; his spatial ability had reached its limit, and he was just one trigger away from...
But he didn't say anything, because it wouldn't make a difference. However, now that they have the crystal, it seems that the situation can be improved.
Li Sikai didn't know whether the appearance of this crystal was a good thing or a bad thing for him.
"We're going to explore that mine in a couple of days. What about you? Do you have any ideas?"
"Is Yanming there? I want to see him!"
"When Wen Chao left, he was still in Haishi. He probably won't be back in the next couple of days. If you want to see him, this is your chance."
Li Sikai chuckled: "I don't know what's wrong with that guy, he just won't come to the capital no matter what."
"Probably because he's afraid I'll arrest him!" After saying that, Chief Li burst into laughter.
I might have thought that way before, but not anymore.
It's better to have more allies than more enemies. Isn't it good to have this back-and-forth dynamic like we are now?
"Uncle, from what you're saying, you're going too?"
"Hmm, I'm somewhat interested." General Li stroked his chin. "Just listening to them talk about it, you can't even imagine it. If I could see it for myself, it would be a worthwhile journey through life!"
"But it's dangerous there!"
"Danger and opportunity always coexist."
Li Zongmeng Guan didn't take it seriously: "Besides, if there's any emergency, you can just put us in your spatial storage, right?"
“My space…” Li Sikai thought that General Li was unaware that there was a problem with his space, so he wanted to tell him everything.
But General Li waved his hand to interrupt: "It's alright, with Xiao Shen here, we will definitely turn misfortune into good fortune and disaster into blessing!"
Seeing this, Li Sikai stopped trying to persuade General Li and said with a smile, "You seem to have a lot of faith in him."
General Li nodded: "That's a must!"
----------
In Suzhou, Bi Qiaoan and Nuannuan spent the night in the helicopter. As soon as it was light, they got up to cook for everyone.
The same procedure was followed: some spiritual spring water was secretly added, and the aroma of the rice porridge wafted far and wide.
The guards, like wolves, howled that the food was delicious.
Everyone envied Lao Shen for marrying such an excellent wife, and even teased him, "If you don't treat Qiao An well, we'll snatch her away."
Shen Yanming kicked them and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you won't have a chance."
They're brothers who've been through thick and thin together; he wouldn't take a joke seriously.
And with such a great opportunity, of course we should give them a boost.
Therefore, he was especially grateful to Bi Qiaoan, and the love in his eyes deepened when he looked at her.
This made Bi Qiaoan's ears turn red, and she glared at him several times, but Shen Yanming looked even more brazenly.
The guards passing by looked away sheepishly and whispered, "Old Shen has been a vegetarian for so long, he must be craving meat."
"Ha, my wife is so beautiful, even I couldn't resist. Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to hold her in my arms!"
"How about I ask your sister-in-law to introduce you to someone?"
"I think it's a good idea. I'll go ask about it in a bit."
"Hey, count me in! I've been single for so long, this is the first time I've ever wanted to find a girlfriend!"
Neither Shen Yanming nor Bi Qiaoan knew that their flirtatious exchanges had sparked the idea of marriage among the guards.
They came to ask Bi Qiaoan to be their matchmaker, and Bi Qiaoan was completely stunned.
"Well, I really don't know many girls..." she told the truth, but the young men didn't believe her.
