Sometime later…

Leader Tang asked Zi Yi, “Little Zi, do you know what it means to take over the business the country outsources to other companies?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and said with an innocent expression, “Isn’t it just about adding the label of the country’s personnel to the businessman? Don’t tell me Ah Jing can do anything he wants under the name of the country just because he takes over those businesses?”

“…”

Leader Tang realized that he was made speechless by a young lady.

Zi Yi continued to talk. “I was just asking you to consider handing over these two businesses to Ah Jing. Don’t tell me that you won’t do any evaluation of his abilities when you consider him? If he does not have the ability, we won’t accept the business either.”

Leader Tang was somehow stuck in a situation where he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He looked at Lu Jingye and said, “You are blessed to have married a wife that thinks for your benefit in all aspects.”

The corners of Lu Jingye’s mouth curved up and as he looked at Zi Yi, who acted as if she was particularly harmless and innocent, the hand which he used to hold onto her hand tightened.

His wife worked so hard to attract business for him and he could not possibly disappoint her.

“It is as Yiyi says. If I do not have the ability to handle the business, I would not have accepted it in the first place.”

Lu Jingye was a genius in the business world and that was widely known by everyone.

However, he had the Lu Family and the Lu Group as his powerful backing. With the financial resources and background, he could do anything he wished.

Without the Lu Family as his backing, was he still able to dominate the business industry?”

Leader Tang did not care much about that aspect.

What he was concerned about was that without a strong financial backing, did he still have the ability to take over those businesses?

However, Leader Tang thought of Song Jewelry, Zi Yi’s bars, and her racing club. These three assets, when added up together, were something to be reckoned with.

He said, “I can give you the chance, but you have to come up with a plan and proof of your finances to convince us.”

If they wanted to take over the businesses the country outsourced to other companies, as the other party they had to have the skills and financial resources.

Lu Jingye nodded his head. “Sure.”

Thus, the matter was settled like that.

Leader Tang suddenly realized that he had been plotted against by these two young people.

The smile on his face disappeared and his expression instantly turned serious.

“We can slowly discuss this after we return. I wish to see how Little Zi defeats the pirates.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “No problem.”

She pulled her hand out from Lu Jingye’s hand and quickly brought up the virtual screen.

She tapped on the screen and the numbers started changing in front of their eyes.

Soon, the numbers stopped changing and the entire satellite image of the South China Sea to Malacca was shown on the screen.

The virtual screen started accepting signals that were invisible to the eye.

Before Leader Tang had the chance to express his surprise, a radar-like image that extended across the entire sea area had surfaced on the screen.

After the light stopped flashing, a blue dot and several red dots appeared.

Zi Yi said, “The blue dot is Third Uncle’s position and the red dots are the positions of all the pirates.”

Leader Tang stared at the dots and expressed his surprise. “Little Zi, your virtual computer is able to scan and reveal all the pirate’s positions so accurately!”

No country has managed to achieve this type of technology yet.

What if the Country obtains this technology?

Moreover… why was she so knowledgeable about advanced technologies that did not exist in the world?

Who exactly is this young lady?

Lu Jingye tilted his head and glanced at Leader Tang.

The latter seem to have sensed his gaze and turned towards Lu Jingye. He suddenly laughed.

“I feel that the other two businesses can be put aside for discussion at a later time. How about we start talking about this technology of Zi Yi’s first when we return?”

Lu Jingye lowered his eyes and looked at Zi Yi who was currently operating the virtual screen.

He thought about it for a moment.

Since this was revealed, it would be better for them to clarify their future interests.

He did not answer and instead, he spoke as if nothing had happened. “We can discuss what Little Zi is capable of, but as for whoever wants to hurt her, even if the other side is a Country, I am able to bring her away somewhere where no one can find her.”

Leader Tang’s expression turned stern. “Little Lu, are you threatening me? Do you know the consequences of doing so?”

“It’s not considered a threat…” Lu Jingye’s gaze was on the sea view in front of him. He said with a calm expression, “Yiyi is just smarter than others, but if this becomes the reason why others harm her, I would rather hide her away.”

Leader Tang’s frown deepened and he looked at Lu Jingye.

He had many opportunities to get to know Lu Jingye and he always felt that the young man in front of him was mature and steady.

However, he had done things to such an extent for a woman.

Although, if the higher-ups were to stand out for this matter, Lu Jingye would not be able to win against them, no matter how capable he was.

However, rather than having the Country lose two talents, it would be better to win their hearts.

Leader Tang looked at Zi Yi who did not pay the slightest attention to them with a complicated gaze.

If his guess was right, for Zi Yi to be so frank with him, it must be that she’s relying on the fact that Lu Jingye was by her side, right?

Leader Tang shifted his attention to Lu Jingye.

He sighed deep down. ‘He’s sure worthy of being born into a military family. This boldness and vision is not something others can compare to.’

Leader Tang did not say anything else. He intended to see the extent to which Zi Yi was able to make use of her advanced technology.

Lu Jingye knew that he had made the right gamble and the corner of his lips slightly raised.

Just then, Leader Tang spoke with mixed feelings. “It’s a pity that Little Lu did not take on an official career.”

Lu Jingye had boldness and wit. Even he himself had to be careful not to fall into his trap.

Lu Jingye did not respond to him.

He was from the Lu Family and they both clearly knew that it was impossible for him to become an official.

The time in which they had conversed was actually very short.

Sometime later, Zi Yi suddenly said, “It’s about to start.”

Leader Tang did not even have the chance to ask her how it was going to go when he heard Zi Yi sending out orders.

“No.1, No.3, No.4, No.5. Get ready.”

At the same time, the captain of the guards ran over to Leader Tang and said, “Commander Lu has met with the pirates.”

Zi Yi said, “Our ship can stop sailing now.”

Leader Tang and the captain looked at Zi Yi with a puzzled gaze.

Lu Jingye explained on her behalf. “Other than the pirates that are confronting Third Uncle, there are also some other pirates that are lurking in the dark. Little Zi plans to take care of them all.”

Zi Yi turned around and smiled at him.

Sure enough, her Ah Jing understood her the best.

Leader Tang frowned in response. “What if there are hostages on those ships?”

Lu Jingye thought for a moment and asked, “Leader Tang can ask if there are any hostages on the pirate’s ship that Third Uncle is confronting.”

Leader Tang guessed Lu Jingye’s intentions and hastily motioned to the captain. “Go and ask.”

The captain immediately headed to the control room and returned very soon. “They’re there.”

Zi Yi’s lips curved up. “Then I won’t hold back.”

She took out the virtual keyboard and under Leader Tang’s and the captain’s surprised gazes, she swiftly pressed a few keys. Shortly afterwards, the missiles on the ship launched in several directions.

The missile routes then appeared on the virtual screen.

At the same time…

Third Master Lu who was confronting two pirate ships was standing at the bow of the ship. He looked at his comrades that were tied on the ship opposite him and his frown tightened.

“Third Master, what should we do?”
