Everyone knows that in this camp, the most indifferent person is none other than Commander Runqi.
Aside from being dedicated to his official duties, he never did anything superfluous.
His life was unremarkable; he had no close relatives, did not interact with others privately, and was cold-hearted, never bending the law for personal gain.
Therefore, whether the lady intentionally or unintentionally entered the water dungeon area earlier, this matter is a suspicious event, and the conclusion should not be made by them.
Runqi Du verbally agreed to the lady's request because he knew that others would report it themselves, and he wouldn't need to come forward.
But now, he's come back to take on this task, which is quite strange.
"yes."
Before leaving after finishing his business, Runtu said, "Remember, the man in the water dungeon, don't let him die."
The guard replied, "He did indeed intend to starve himself to death a few days ago, but he has come to his senses in the last two days and hasn't done anything drastic."
"A few days ago?" Runtu wondered what special things had happened in the past few days.
"Yes, it's said that he overheard something the person delivering the food said and suddenly became agitated, but he's recovered in the last couple of days."
Runtu's usually serene eyes suddenly sharpened: "His life or death is decided by the general. Before the general orders him to die, he must be kept alive."
"Yes, we will keep a close eye on him."
——
A few more days passed.
"Quick, let's all go and take a look."
There were several craftsmen ahead who looked like they were heading somewhere.
"Hey, where are you guys going? What are you looking at so enthusiastically?"
Some people, not understanding the situation, also joined in the fun and ran around.
"I heard that Mu Gaoyi and his team have finished getting their car ready! Think about it, so many people working on one thing, it must be something special. We need to go and see how it goes."
"Is it really done?"
"Of course it's true. There were over thirty of them, all of them exhausted, and they finally managed to get the car out. As for the car's condition, whether it can even run, we don't know."
Fu Changfeng overheard their conversation and sneered with disdain, "What's so interesting about this? What good stuff could those people possibly make?"
Someone who knew him well asked, "Changfeng, aren't you really going to take a look? If you really look down on Mu Gaoyi and his group, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to ridicule and mock them when you see their ridiculous, mismatched vehicle?"
To be honest, very few of the craftsmen in Ye Kingdom knew how to build cars. Those cars, which were just a plank with two or four wheels, had no technological features whatsoever and were worlds apart from cars made in other countries.
Fu Changfeng paused for a moment before saying, "I'll go then."
He wasn't going to see those two; he wanted to see someone.
Before he left, Aqing had specifically reminded him of something. Although he didn't take it seriously at the time, once he realized the problem, he couldn't help but pay more attention to it.
When the crane was assembled yesterday, he planned to test its operation. At that moment, he instinctively paid special attention to the surrounding environment and made sure no one was standing underneath it.
He didn't believe Aqing's words, and he didn't think she could spot the problem with his crane with just a glance. How could she be so amazing?
However, his confidence and arrogance led to excessive swaying of the crane when it moved left and right, causing uneven stress on the suspension and ultimately causing it to break. The heavy objects inside the basket crashed to the ground and were completely shattered.
His first thought was that it was fortunate he hadn't called someone over to demonstrate; otherwise, losing face would have been a minor issue, but injuring someone would have been a serious problem.
Although he didn't want to admit it, if it weren't for Ah Qing's words, "Mind your own business," given his usual personality, he might have excitedly called over his close friends to share in his achievements.
Fortunately, he was cautious at the end, and nothing unexpected happened except for himself.
Did it fail?
He was truly unwilling to accept it. He had worked so hard on the research, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain. He knew that he would definitely not be able to show the general the machinery he had made in time for the artisan team tomorrow.
He lost this opportunity because of his arrogance and ignorance.
Looking dejected and disappointed, Fu Changfeng followed the familiar craftsman to Mu Gaoyi's place.
The area in front of the curtain had long been surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
However, they were kept outside. The craftsmen inside said that the space was too small to squeeze in, but they would bring the car out when it was ready so that everyone could watch it together.
Upon hearing this, some people, feeling uncomfortable, started spreading rumors again.
"See? The old Tong Laosan has changed."
"That's right, now he's practically got a nose on his head. Does he really think he can rise to power along with Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong?"
"It's not just him. You see, everyone involved in manufacturing these cars, even though their cheeks are sunken from working so hard, their eyes are shining, like they've found a treasure."
"You know what, I feel the same way."
"Ha, don't think that just because they have a lot of people, they can come up with something special. We know them all too well, and we know exactly what they're capable of."
"You've all seen the vehicle design drawings that Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong showed us, right? Is that something our skills and techniques are capable of making?"
“I’ve looked at it, I’ve looked at it. He’s searched our entire artisan group. Uh, or maybe Fu Changfeng isn’t there. Anyway, I think it’s just a pipe dream. It’s a waste of time and can’t be realized at all.”
"With such grand ambitions, they don't even consider whether they have the ability to back them up."
