Chapter 21: The Flying Disc Builds a Steel Mill

  Suddenly, the Dongfeng car sounded its horn when overtaking on the fast lane. At that moment, a large truck in front of it on the normal lane didn't signal and forcibly changed lanes to enter the fast lane. Its speed was only 80 km/h, while the Dongfeng car's speed exceeded 130 km/h. The distance between the two cars was only about 10 meters, and they were about to collide inevitably!

  Li Yang and Liu Xia both noticed the danger approaching, this short distance of ten meters, the two cars collided in just a fraction of a second, this moment was too short for the vehicles to react, just as Li Yang and Liu Xia's eyes widened and their mouths opened in a loud cry of surprise, the Dongfeng car suddenly accelerated!

  The broken car suddenly made a quick turn to the right, quickly switching to the passing lane, dodging the rear of another large truck, then switching to the farthest right emergency parking lane, and speeding forward at nearly 200 miles per hour, leaving the six large trucks that occupied the passing lane and driving lane far behind, before re-switching back to the driving lane and continuing to speed forward!

  After escaping danger, Li Yang and Liu Xia exchanged a glance, both of their hearts racing wildly, feeling like they had narrowly escaped death!

  "No, the autopilot system wouldn't handle such a sudden situation! Just now, I felt like the speed exceeded 300 miles per hour, and making a 90-degree turn at such high speed without flipping over is impossible. This is simply unscientific, your car must be haunted!" Liu Xia shouted with a lingering fear.

  Li Yang glared at her and complained, "The situation just now was that even if Schumacher was driving the car, he would still be dead. My baby Dongfeng car's universe explosion saved our lives, and you still dare to say it's not scientific! Do we have to crash into a big truck together and die in order for it to be scientific? If so, tomorrow's newspaper headlines in Dongnan City will read: 'Apprentice female police officer kidnaps rich man, high-speed crazy driving, both dead', I reckon you little girl would become famous throughout the city overnight!"

  Liu Xia heard Li Yang's strong words and insults, and almost lost her temper: "Humph! Who wants to die with you? You're a swindler, a deceitful merchant, a big scoundrel!"

  "Damn it, I thought I should be visiting my parents in the hospital, but instead this female cop brought me here. Almost got killed just now, and now you're yelling at me? You're a mother tiger, a mother gorilla, a mother dragon!"

  "Alright, you dare scold me? I'll have you arrested right now!"

  "You think you can just arrest people and be a great cop? I don't accept that!"

  The scene suddenly lost control, Liu Xia and Li Yang had a fierce argument in the car!

  Li Xia had experience, and as soon as she saw Lei Yang's right hand, she handcuffed it first. However, when she tried to cuff his other hand, things got tricky. Enraged, Lei Yang struggled desperately, but the cramped space in the driver's cab made it impossible for them to exert their strength, and they ended up embracing each other after a brief tussle.

  If they were on the ground, Liu Xia could easily pin down Li Yang's hands behind his back, but now it was impossible. The two of them had been tussling for half a day and neither could gain the upper hand.

  Li Yang suddenly lowered his head and gave her a headbutt on the chest, causing the policewoman to almost lose her breath!

  Feeling a warm, soft sensation on the top of his head, Li Yang's heart skipped a beat as he hastily lifted his head. At this moment, Liu Xia's body was pulled by Li Yang's right hand and leaned forward, causing their lips to accidentally touch...

  At this moment, both of them trembled and stopped fighting without saying a word, their faces red as they sat back in their own seats.

  The first kiss is over just like that, and both of them are screaming in their hearts!

  At this time, a subtle and ambiguous feeling suddenly emerged in the car, making Li Yang and Liu Xia feel extremely embarrassed.

  "Stretch out your hand, I'll unlock the handcuffs for you." Liu Xia said in a low voice.

  Li Yang lowered his head and obediently stretched out his hand, and soon he was free again.

  "Officer Liu, we've met twice and I've been handcuffed twice. I'm just an ordinary student, why are you so fixated on me? If it wasn't for the fact that you kissed me earlier, would you have been satisfied only if you had cuffed me?" Lei Yang said with self-mockery.

  "What just happened was an accident, don't think too much about it!"

  As soon as Liu Xia's words fell, she remembered what Li Yang said earlier and was embarrassed by the content, her face turned bright red. Li Yang said that he himself was bitten and kissed, making her feel uncomfortable, but it wasn't good to refute him, and in a hurry, tears welled up in her eyes.

  "Don't cry, I'm the victim here. If anyone should be crying, it's me. You have no evidence and yet you've brought me here. At best, you're restricting my personal freedom, at worst, you're kidnapping me. How can you be the one crying?" Lei Yang said with a wronged expression on his face.

  "Hmph! Haha, is there anyone as arrogant as you? Not cooperating at all!" Liu Xia burst out laughing.

  "Is there a kidnapper as unprofessional as you? I've brought out such a large piece of gold to ransom myself, and you still won't let me go!" Li Yang flipped open the armrest box, revealing the large gold bricks inside.

  The two of you looked at me, I looked at you, and suddenly burst out laughing. Now that things have developed to this point, they really do seem like the relationship between a kidnapper and their hostage.

  "Li Yang, you're 18 and I'm 19, so technically I'm still your older sister. Can't you just treat me like a sister and tell me clearly about the source of those steel materials that you sold to Nanfeng Group? That way, I won't make things difficult for you."

  "Haha, if you put it that way, then fine. You're always so fierce and intimidating, it's really unbearable for me."

  "Do you know that for an entire day and night, I was searching for you, without even having time to eat or sleep? I'm exhausted and starving, almost unable to hold on."

  "To be honest with you, I've been busy for a whole day and night, not just mining... oh no, it's taking care of the factory business, and I haven't eaten or slept much either. Liu sister, are you saying you're still hungry? Luckily, I have some dry rations here, wait a minute, let me get them for you to eat."

  Li Yang took out a bun and beef from his backpack in the back seat, quickly made a meat sandwich, and handed it to Liu Xia.

  Liu Xia didn't pretend to be polite, took it and started eating big mouthfuls, Yang Ming handed her another bottle of Nongfu Spring mineral water, Liu Xia ate and drank at the same time, gobbling down food like a wolf, looking very uncomfortable, apparently she was really starving.

  "It's so delicious! I was in a hurry to handle the case just now and didn't feel anything, but as soon as I saw your roujiamo, my hungry heart panicked!" Liu Xia said while eating and muttering to herself.

  Yang Ming also felt hungry and made another meat sandwich, which he devoured eagerly.

  At this time, the Dongfeng car was still speeding on the highway. Xing Nao seemed to have found a place to help Li Yang cover up and secretly input instructions into the mining ship that had transformed into the Dongfeng car. The navigation showed a winding road leading directly to the depths of a distant mountain range.

  The sign indicates that there are still 300 kilometers to the destination, and this section of road is at least 160 kilometers of mountain roads, estimated to take around four hours.

  "Liu Jie, look, our factory is in this big mountain, now it's 8 o'clock in the morning, I estimate that when we arrive at the place, it will be 12 o'clock. Why don't you go to the back and rest for a while?"

  "I'm a bit tired, but you haven't told me those things yet. You can say it now. If you can prove that the origin of these goods is legitimate, we don't have to run so far."

  Li Yang was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while and said gloomily: "These things can't be explained in one or two sentences, Liu Jie I'm afraid of you, let's just get there and see for yourself."

  To be honest, he didn't know what kind of formation the Star Brain would set up for him to deal with this troublesome Liu Xia, but he could only pin his hopes on it.

  An hour later, the car got off the highway and onto a not-so-good provincial road. Liu Xia was curled up on the back seat and had already fallen asleep. Li Yang couldn't help but want to throw her out of the car while she was sleeping, letting her fall by the side of the road.

  But thinking carefully about it, he decided against it. If that were the case, this little girl would definitely give him an even more ruthless move when she returned to Dongnan City, and just thinking about it made him afraid.

  Dongfeng car drove automatically all the way, and Li Yang didn't need to worry at all. After reconfirming the destination with Xing Nao again, he put his mind at ease, lay down on the driver's seat and fell asleep.

  The driver's seat was uncomfortable, so Li Yang only slept for half an hour before waking up. He turned his head to see Liu Xia lying on the wide bed in the back row, sleeping soundly. Then he looked at the navigation display and saw that it would take more than two hours to reach their destination at this speed. Suddenly, he had an idea and ordered the mining ship to fly directly over, no need to drive slowly on the road anymore.

  With a 'whoosh', the East Wind Chariot suddenly appeared in the center of a gentle mountain valley, and before him stood a magnificent building, towering high and mighty, with an air of grandeur that left Li Yang utterly astonished!

  At the entrance of the factory, a large golden sign reads "Nanfeng Group Li's Nonferrous Metal Smelting Company". Inside, rows of newly built workshops with white and blue stripes stretch out, each one five meters high and twenty meters long. There are over ten such massive workshops, followed by a row of tall chimneys and several dozen-meter-high container-like objects. What shocked Li Yang the most was that there were actually two security guards at the entrance, and inside the factory, there were also a few people scattered about!

  As for the factory, Li Yang believed that UFO had the ability to build it up quickly. If it couldn't be built, it could crawl on the ground and turn into a workshop by itself. But what's going on with these people? Didn't this lawless guy just grab some villagers from nearby rural areas to fill in the numbers?

  If they were all shepherds or cowboys, once Liu Xia asked, they would still be exposed!

  "Spaceman, what's going on with these factories? What's going on with these workers?" Li Yang asked Xing Nao telepathically.

  "How's that? The formation I've set up for you isn't small, is it?"

  "Not bad, not bad, you scared the hell out of me! Quick, tell me what's going on here? Don't tell me these factories are yours and all these workers are sheep herders from nearby!"

  "Frankly, I built these factories using the stones from around here and a bit of steel that you helped me get. I modeled them after the most advanced small-scale steel smelting plants on your planet. The site covers an area of 200 mu, with 16 large steel furnaces, although they're just for show, they're identical to the real thing. It took me five minutes to build these houses, what a headache! How's that, impressive?"
