The large screen in the space, which had been completely dark, suddenly lit up with a faint light.
A weak voice came from the space, "Miss Qiu! I can sense Miss Qiu's energy! It's in that box!"
Li Xiyue was pleasantly surprised to hear Tongzi's voice, "Hey, you're charged again!"
The system said, "It's only a tiny bit of power left! Go find your crush and put Miss Qiu into your space, then I can recharge!"
Miss Qiu is the key nuclear material for making nuclear bombs: uranium!
Uranium exists in nature, but it is very difficult to extract pure uranium.
The uranium that Mu Cangnan brought back was extracted by these scientists through great effort!
With this uranium sphere, we can build new types of nuclear bombs and conduct nuclear tests on them.
Li Xiyue pursed her lips. She wanted to use her beauty to her advantage, but she needed at least a reason to meet him!
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she said, "How could Mu Cangnan bring something so important home? That doesn't make sense!"
The system said, "They split into two groups and returned to the capital. The main force, along with Miss Qiu, made a grand return to the capital."
The real Miss Qiu was secretly brought back to the capital by Mu Cangnan.
Li Xiyue's pupils suddenly contracted. "Could someone be trying to sabotage Miss Qiu?!"
The system said, "This is uranium that many countries are envious of! Our country is the fifth country to possess nuclear weapons, and many countries do not have this technology."
Furthermore, other countries possessing nuclear weapons are very unwilling to allow our country to successfully test more advanced nuclear weapons. They will stop at nothing to sabotage us.
I don't know how many scientists have been assassinated by them, and some countries have given us incorrect data, causing experiments to fail and scientists to die...
Therefore, we must be extremely cautious with every nuclear test, for fear of sabotage by spies!
This time, Mu Cangnan successfully brought Miss Qiu back to the capital in secret, but the main force was attacked and many comrades were killed...
Before the system could finish speaking, the large screen went black.
Li Xiyue looked at her system with heartache. It seemed that her system had used up the last bit of its power to tell her these important things.
But how would her family know such a confidential matter?
Charge it! She needs to fully charge the system; she needs to get to the bottom of everything!
Inside the main room, Mu Jiuhong's brows were furrowed in worry. She said, "Mom, please stop crying. You've been crying all day. Aren't you tired of it? I'm tired of hearing it!"
Li Xiulan cried and said, "What will you do if you get a divorce?"
"A woman with a child, who can she possibly marry in this lifetime?!"
Mu Jiuhong said, "Who said I wanted a divorce? It's Li Wenbo who wants a divorce, not me!"
Li Xiulan said, "Didn't you say that Li Wenbo had already submitted the divorce papers? What are we going to do now?!"
Mu Jiuhong said, "So what if you've submitted a divorce application? If I don't agree, we can't get a divorce!"
Stop crying, it's getting on my nerves. The second child isn't in the capital, so we can't rely on him at all!
When the third brother gets back, I'll have him bring a few more of his men to the Li family to stand up for me! I don't believe Li Wenbo isn't afraid!
Li Xiulan asked, "Is...is this okay?!"
Mu Jiuhong said, "What's wrong with that! Li Wenbo is just a bookworm. A little scare and he'll shut up! Why hasn't the third brother come back yet?!"
She couldn't help but stand up and look towards the door, when she unexpectedly heard a knock.
She was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she hadn't been hallucinating; she really had heard a knock on the door!
She hurriedly ran out to open the door.
As she ran, she asked, "Who is it?"
Mu Cangnan's voice came from outside the door, "It's me, Third Brother!"
Mu Jiuhong excitedly opened the door and immediately saw her third brother.
She said happily, "Third brother, you're finally back! Mom and I have been talking about you! Come in!"
Mu Cangnan and Mu Jiuhong said, "These are my two colleagues. They came back with me."
We'll rest at home for a bit, and head back to our research base in Beijing first thing tomorrow morning.
Mu Jiuhong said, "Why are you leaving so early tomorrow morning? Why not stay home a couple more days!"
Most importantly, if she leaves first thing tomorrow morning, how will her brother help her seek justice from the Li family?!
Mu Cangnan said, "We need to go back to the base to report for duty. If I have time after that, I'll go home to see you and Mom. Sis, why are you home today?"
Mu Jiuhong's face stiffened. How could she talk about her family's situation in front of her brother's colleagues?
Before she could figure out how to start the conversation, Li Yan heard her uncle's voice. She ran out of her room and shouted, "Uncle! You're back!"
She threw herself into Mu Cangnan's arms!
Mu Cangnan patted Li Yan's head and said, "Little Yan has grown so much! It's only been a short time since we last met!"
Li Yan said, "It's been so long since you've seen me! I've grown up so much! Uncle, what about the things you promised to bring me?"
She reached out to Mu Cangnan for it.
Mu Jiuhong said unhappily, "Your uncle just got home and hasn't even gone inside yet. Kid, go play somewhere else!"
She pulled her younger brother toward the main house, calling out as they walked, "Mom! Third brother's back!"
When Li Xiulan heard that Mu Cangnan had returned, she finally felt reassured. With such a big thing happening in the family, it was always good for a man to take charge!
She hurriedly came out to greet them, saying, "Third brother is back! Come in and sit down! I'll make you some tea. These must be your colleagues, please sit down! Jiu Hong, go and cook for the comrades."
Mu Jiuhong had a lot to say to her younger brother, but her mother called her to cook.
She had no choice but to go to the kitchen and cook for everyone.
Li Yan stood in front of Mu Cangnan, stretching out her little hand, asking Mu Cangnan for a gift, "Uncle, you promised to bring it for me, give it to me quickly!"
My classmates and I raved about it! If I didn't bring it to school, they'd all think I was lying!
Mu Cangnan took out a handful of spent bullet casings from his pocket, placed them in Li Yan's hand, and said, "How about that? That's enough, isn't it? There are all kinds of sizes."
Looking at the large pile of spent bullet casings, Li Yan jumped up with joy, "Hahaha! Let's see who dares to say I'm bragging!"
She was overjoyed. Taking this bunch of spent bullet casings to school would definitely make her a sensation!
Outside the door, Li Xiyue pressed her throbbing temples with her fingers. It seemed that Mu Cangnan and his niece had a good relationship, but this niece was as ruthless as a poisonous snake!
The key question is how to get close to Mu Cangnan and obtain that box?
Her X-ray vision looked at the box, but it couldn't see through it...
She didn't know what material the box was made of, but she figured it was probably for radiation protection.
Mu Jiuhong made noodles for everyone, as it's a tradition to eat noodles when relatives return from the capital.
After dinner, she arranged for Mu Cangnan's two colleagues to rest in the side room.
The family was finally able to talk to each other alone.
Mu Jiuhong grabbed her younger brother's arm and said, "Third brother, you have to stand up for your eldest sister! Li Wenbo is a scoundrel. He bullied me, and he wants a divorce!"
