She could only watch Zhao Qiang leave, but his last words surprised her.
Is that the human stick the Cold-Faced Green Fox, one of the six great masters of the South? How did he turn into an armed policeman? Could he be the real cause of this conflict? Yang Shiqi showed no pity for the human stick-shaped corpse and kicked him hard again before she felt relieved.
Liu Yiyi found a coat in the office. The room was a bit cold because of the rain. She learned from her superiors that Xu Xiaoya and the others had arrived in the provincial capital and were temporarily staying at her branch office. However, she still had no news of Zhao Qiang. Xu Xiaoya and the others did not dare to make any rash moves, and everyone waited anxiously.
"I hope your brother will be alright."
Liu Yiyi asked Wei.
Wei was firm in her belief: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Brother still has one last lifeline. Don't underestimate his fat body; it will definitely come in handy at crucial moments. Even if brother himself doesn't think of it, there are reminders in his brain. There haven't been any sounds of fighting outside for so long."
I think it's over.
Bang.
Bang, bang, a soft knocking sound came from outside. Liu Yiyi was startled, but then her face lit up with joy. She jumped up excitedly to open the door, "Zhao Qiang, is that you?" It was Zhao Qiang standing outside the door.
But Liu Yiyi almost didn't recognize him; he had lost so much weight.
The clothes were tattered and torn.
Zhao Qiang had a smile on his face, but his words were full of reproach.
"It's not a good habit to open the door without asking who it is, especially in the middle of the night, when it's a girl alone."
You need to be more careful next time.
Liu Yiyi blushed. How could a thirty-year-old woman like herself need him to remind her? Wasn't she just being overly concerned for his safety? Otherwise, who would open the door for a man? Liu Yiyi glared at Zhao Qiang reproachfully.
Then I pulled him in, saying, "It's good that you're safe."
Xu Xiaoya and the others have arrived in the provincial capital. Quickly let them know you're safe.
Zhao Qiang was a little angry. "Why are you meddling in this? You're just looking for trouble."
When Wei saw Zhao Qiang, she smiled and said, "Brother."
Ultimately, we still need to use energy to fight.
Judging from this, the battle must have been fierce. Look how thin you are; it's time for you to eat.
Zhao Qiang patted his stomach. "I've managed to win. I've connected to Xu Xiaoya's video."
When Xu Xiaoya saw Zhao Qiang on camera, she cried, "Qiang, are you alright?" Zhao Qiang replied, "I'm fine. You guys stay there, I'll be right there."
Then Zhao Qiang abruptly ended the connection, his notebook tucked under one arm.
With his other arm he picked up Liu Yiyi, and the two of them crashed through the office window and leaped down. The anti-gravity device had a certain load capacity.
There was no limit to Liu Yiyi's weight of forty or fifty kilograms, so she experienced the feeling of flying in the air. She was both scared and excited, and she fell in love with it.
At nine o'clock in the morning, at Liu Yiyi's branch office, the workers had not gone home all night and were still working day and night to finish the embroidery work for Zhu Haicheng. The middle-level managers had also worked overtime for half the night and were busy in the workshop. They were catching up on sleep at this time, so the office building seemed relatively quiet, except for Liu Yiyi's office, which was noisy.
Zhang Lingfeng gestured wildly: "I went to the scene myself, but they wouldn't let me take pictures, otherwise I would have really shown you what kind of person my master is."
It's definitely a human! With such thick armored vehicle protection, I don't know how he managed to poke a few holes in it, and I observed the ground.
Even a half-meter-thick concrete floor couldn't stop a bullet that had penetrated several layers of protective armor. There were also two armed helicopters, which were huge, but my master managed to take them down. Not to mention the armed police and regular police, they were completely useless.
They were completely used as cannon fodder.
Xu Xiaoya said worriedly, "I wonder if it will have a bad impact. Zhao Qiang won't be able to explain it to his superiors then?" (It seems that if some kind-hearted older brother, uncle, older sister, or aunt can cast a vote, he can move up one place.) Although he still can't make it into the top ten, he can reach eleven.
It's better than twelve, haha.
Volume 2 [269] I'm sorry
Ke Qing and the whistling sound echoed. "Explanation? Explain what? Just because a masked assassin from the south was spotted by the armed police? This matter should be addressed by the armed police and the local public security bureau! He initially expressed a desire for reconciliation, even offering to show his credentials to the other side's negotiating representative, but who told the armed police sniper to open fire without any explanation? They were the ones who disrupted the peace first, no wonder Zhao Qiang is ruthless! Besides, are there any reports of armed police or regular police officers dying?"
Zhang Lingfeng, who went out to gather information, shook his head: "No? But many were injured."
Hu Qian said, "The reason they were injured is because Zhao Qiang took pity on them; otherwise, he would have blasted them to smithereens long ago."
Xu Xiaoya asked, "So, Sister Qian, you mean Zhao Qiang is alright?"
Hu Qian said, "If something had happened, would you have waited until now?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "I wonder where Yang Shiqi has gone. Otherwise, I would have asked him to sound out the higher-ups."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Yang Shiqi knocked on the door and entered, her face pale and her hair disheveled. She didn't say a word after entering the room, and plopped down on the sofa, lost in thought.
Zhang Lingfeng joked, "Young Master Yang, if I had known you were going to make such a huge joke, you would have let us know. You didn't have to force me to turn off the phone. If you had just asked, I would have cooperated. Anyway, all the weapons I have are just for my master to practice with."
"Shut up!" Yang Shiqi glared at Zhang Lingfeng, then deflated, looking weak and powerless. "I'm sorry, I've come to apologize. I shouldn't have turned off my phone, I shouldn't have blocked Hu Qian's cell phone signal, and I shouldn't have instructed the police from the provincial capital to deliberately cause trouble for Zhao Qiang. This caused the first conflict for Zhao Qiang, and then Leng Qinghu took advantage of this conflict to quickly intervene and use the armed police to attack Zhao Qiang."
Hu Qian interrupted Yang Shiqi: "Young Master Yang, it's impossible for the Armed Police to mobilize armored vehicles and armed helicopters in a short time. Although Leng Qinghu is highly skilled, he has no foundation in the north. So these heavy weapons couldn't have been obtained by him. At most, he just used them on the battlefield!"
Yang Shiqi collapsed onto the sand like a boneless lump of flesh. "You're right, it was my grandfather who ordered the weapons to be brought in as reinforcements from the army, but I couldn't stop it at all! I was under house arrest at the time. No matter what I said, my grandfather wouldn't listen! I hate him, Yang Zhaoxi, you bastard! You don't deserve to be my grandfather! You've made it impossible for me to face Zhao Qiang again!"
Yang Shiqi burst into tears, burying her face in her hands and sobbing. Hu Qian couldn't bear it and went over to hug her. "It's alright. I misunderstood you. I know you could command the troops entirely because of your grandfather, but after he took away your privileges, you're just an ordinary person. But I don't understand why your grandfather did this. Didn't he know that this would completely offend Zhao Qiang? He's not that confused, is he? Doesn't he know who's more important?"
Luo Wei remained silent. She didn't have much of a business connection with Zhao Qiang; she was merely working for him. If she weren't so worried about Zhao Qiang's safety, she wouldn't have bothered coming to the provincial capital. In her eyes, Yang Shiqi, Hu Qian, and Xu Xiaoya were the people closest to Zhao Qiang. Even the scoundrel Zhang Lingfeng was closer to him than she was. Luo Wei felt a deep sense of loss, and seeing Hu Qian crying, she felt a pang of sympathy. She stepped forward and handed her some tissues, which Yang Shiqi took and wiped away her tears and snot, completely disregarding her usual image.
"My grandfather said he wanted to test the effectiveness of the individual soldier equipment manufactured by Zhao Qiang."
Hu Qian asked, "Did you tell your grandfather about the twenty sets of equipment you gave me?"
Yang Shiqi was a little embarrassed: "My grandfather found out from the army that I had transferred twenty special forces soldiers. He kept asking me where they were, so I had no choice but to tell him."
Hu Qian didn't say anything more, and Yang Shiqi continued, "My grandfather said that if the equipment I mentioned works, Zhao Qiang should be able to survive the battle."
Xu Xiaoya said angrily, "If it doesn't work, Zhao Qiang should die, right?"
Yang Shiqi whispered, "Xiaoya, I didn't want it to happen like this either. I even scolded my grandfather, but he wouldn't listen. He even had Major Wang confine me for an hour. You have no idea how I endured that hour. By the time I arrived, the battle was already over. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
Yang Shiqi looked as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. Her face was ashen, and her clothes were disheveled. Hu Qian knew how much pain she was in and could understand how anxious Yang Shiqi was at that time; just look at the row of blisters on the corner of her mouth.
Hu Qian pulled Xu Xiaoya aside and said, "Xiaoya, I know I shouldn't have intervened, but Yang Shiqi initially just wanted to play a joke on Zhao Qiang, make him nervous, and then show off her power to get him out of the police's clutches. It was only because Leng Qinghu got involved that things became complicated. Look at her now, she looks ten years older, with so many blisters on her lips. Actually, she didn't want Zhao Qiang to get into trouble even more than you did. People in powerful families have to obey their elders' orders, and this happened against her will. Even if she wanted to rebel, she would have needed the power. I think Zhao Qiang must have threatened the future of the Yang family, so Old Master Yang harbored resentment and made such a foolish decision. We can hate Yang Zhaoxi, but Yang Shiqi has nothing to do with what happened later. Please stop hating her, okay?"
Xu Xiaoya wasn't an unreasonable person. Leng Qinghu's later involvement was indeed no longer Yang Shiqi's concern. Although Leng Qinglu's heavy weapons were deliberately gathered by Yang Shiqi's grandfather, she had tried her best to stop the conflict between Shark and Qi Hu'er, but her abilities were limited and she couldn't make a difference.
Xu Xiaoya said, "Fortunately, Zhao Qiang is alright, so we won't hold it against him this time." The reason Xu Xiaoya used the male "he" in her words was because Xu Xiaoya and Luo Wei didn't know Yang Shiqi's true gender.
Yang Shiqi gratefully held Xu Xiaoya's hand: "Thank you, Xiaoya. I've broken ties with my grandfather this time. Please take me in!"
Xu Xiaoya, still somewhat angry, shook off Yang Shiqi's hand and said, "Alright, someone like you won't starve anywhere. Hurry up and wipe your tears and wash your face. Look at the state you've become. You call yourself a man? You're just a block of tofu."
"What about Zhao Qiang?" Yang Shiqi was actually most nervous about Zhao Qiang. If Zhao Qiang didn't want to rob her, it would be useless.
Xu Xiaoya said, "After eating for ten nights, he went into the conference room and wouldn't let us disturb him."
What was Zhao Qiang doing? With Wei's help, of course, he was rebuilding the destroyed equipment. This was crucial for survival. Zhao Qiang dared not give the enemy even the slightest opportunity. If the defenses weakened and another Leng Qinghu appeared, he would be in grave danger. Therefore, he would rather forgo food and sleep than let his guard down regarding the equipment.
The brother and sister were quite pleased with themselves. Last night's pitiful act was for the occasion, but now, with only the two of them, they could indulge in their joy. They were single-handedly taking on two armed helicopters, armored vehicles, and an unknown number of several hundred armed police officers, even though the helicopters weren't operating at full power. Zhao Qiang figured they were nothing special; they were just firing air-to-air missiles from their suspension racks, similar in nature to the armored vehicle's weapon system. At worst, Zhao Qiang would fight them head-on, though that would consume energy, which he could easily cover with a few more meals each day.
"Brother, I've remade your shirt. You should put it on quickly, it's not good for people to see you shirtless." Wei is now quite shy, and Zhao Qiang walking around in front of her wearing only his underwear makes her feel very embarrassed.
Zhao Qiang was examining a ring in his palm. It wasn't gold or silver, but had a dark, lustery sheen. It was a ring made of a certain substance. Its purpose was to protect Zhao Qiang's fist. It would allow him to distribute the force of his punch across his entire arm without worrying about injury. It was essentially a protective shield, only protecting his right fist. This way, he wouldn't have to suffer for days after punching someone to look cool.
As Zhao Qiang put on the ring and dressed, he said, "I modified the waist support from the shorts to my belt, and also attached the anti-gravity device you modified for me. This way it's more convenient to use; otherwise, it would be too tiring to be covered in equipment."
Wei said, "But then I can't wear my underwear inside out. Won't you think that makes you look less handsome, brother?"
Zhao Qiang was sweating profusely: "If I really wore my underwear backwards on the street, I'd be called an idiot. You think that's cool?"
Wei chuckled sweetly. Did she think she didn't know the aesthetic standards of people with money? She was just teasing Zhao Qiang.
The knee pads were also redesigned. Zhao Qiang rolled up his trousers and attached them to his knees. The modified screwdriver, with its enhanced functionality, was now too bulky, making it inconvenient to hang on his keychain. So, Zhao Qiang added a tool sheath to his belt, storing the screwdriver inside, similar to an electrician's belt. This one was more sleek because Zhao Qiang only needed it to hang the screwdriver. The compression gun and the retracted electromagnetic gun were concealed in the leg sheaths, using the baggy trousers for cover. Otherwise, carrying two guns on the street would be very inappropriate if discovered.
Although he only had a screwdriver and ten spare alloy bullets on his waist, Zhao Qiang still looked overweight, and it was inconvenient for him to tuck his shirt into his pants. Overall, Zhao Qiang wasn't handsome, which frustrated him.
Some people carry cell phones and pagers on their waists in public, but I've never seen anyone carrying a screwdriver around all day. Even electricians don't do that, so it's not cool, it's not cool. As for the spare bullets, Zhao Qiang was worried that the five bullets in the regenerative combat electromagnetic gun wouldn't be enough, so he didn't want to waste time manufacturing them and missing the opportunity to fight.
Zhao Qiang shook his head at his less-than-ideal appearance, then casually touched his chin. Last night's feast had almost ruined his teeth. Although he hadn't fully recovered his energy, he had enough left. It wouldn't be enough for a fight or two, and it was more than enough for escaping. With the anti-gravity device, the energy consumption of his running shoes had been greatly reduced.
Qiang came home to find that everyone had pushed "The Genius Repairman" back to ninth place! Qiang was so excited he didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only keep working hard! New monthly tickets have been issued, resulting in five extra chapters. The remaining ticket will be counted in the next extra chapter. Qiang keeps his word!

Volume 2 [270] Nobody greeted them
The original nose guard was long gone. Zhao Qiang had only managed to recreate it with his twisted, almost supernatural, design. Now, Zhao Qiang has further improved the X-ray glasses, increasing the amount of material within the frame. While this makes the frame thicker, it conceals a helmet-like armor within, allowing for immediate head protection and shielding against ordinary bullets when necessary. As for heavy machine gun fire... one or two might be manageable, but beyond that, the helmet probably wouldn't be able to stop it. However, there probably aren't many people who could repeatedly fire at Zhao Qiang's head.
“Although I wasn’t human, I’m almost like one now,” Zhao Qiang said smugly to Wei.
Wei smiled and said, "Didn't you initially hope that I would transform you into a human? I didn't help you fulfill your wish, but you achieved it yourself. I admire you so much, brother." Wei's voice was sweet, and Zhao Qiang loved to hear it.
Zhao Qiang said, "If it weren't for your help, I would be nothing now, so everything I have now is thanks to you."
Wei said, "No, this is the result of my brother's own efforts. This time, my brother has shown his strength to the government and the military. Let's see who dares to mess with you again. We can still kill those rats without relying on others!"
Wei was full of vigor, and Zhao Qiang was also full of ambition. That's right, this time he didn't rely on the support of the big shots behind him. He had completely fought his way out on his own. Now that he had made it through, what was there to be afraid of in the future? With the experience of this large-scale battle, and having improved his equipment based on the shortcomings in the battle, he was confident that he could end the battle quickly if he fought another one like this.
"Shouldn't we go find Zhu Haicheng?" Zhao Qiang asked with a smile, putting on his glasses.
After leaving the conference room and arriving at the office, Zhao Qiang saw Yang Shiqi there but didn't say anything. He simply asked Xu Xiaoya, "Where's Liu Yiyi?"
Xu Xiaoya pointed to the lounge, "Sister Yiyi is resting inside."
Zhao Qiang said, "Let's call her. We haven't finished dealing with yesterday's business at Haicheng Trading."
Xu Xiaoya hesitated for a moment: "Are you alright?" Hu Qian was also concerned, but she didn't say it aloud, though Zhao Qiang could feel the concern in her eyes.
"I'm fine now," Zhao Qiang waved his fist. "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"
Zhang Lingfeng pinched the muscles on Zhao Qiang's arm. "No, not at all like someone who's been hurt. Master, I'm utterly speechless with admiration for you."
Zhao Qiang laughed and said, "Since you have nothing to say, then don't say anything. How many times have you wrecked someone's place?"
Zhang Lingfeng thought for a moment: "It'll be countless times."
Zhao Qiang asked, "What about that department with an annual output value exceeding 100 million?"
Zhang Lingfeng said, "I've never smashed anything. I have the desire but not the guts. These companies are all reputable, and I can't easily provoke them."
Zhao Qiang led the way, saying, "I'll take you to try it out."
Haicheng Trading can't compare to Tianyi Group. It's located in an area far from the city center, but it's still considered a commercial area. However, Haicheng Trading's office building is a bit outdated and doesn't have the spacious parking lot in front of Tianyi Group. But once you step inside, you realize that the interior decoration is just as high-class as Tianyi Group's. It seems that Zhu Haicheng is a person who cares about his image. Since the external hardware can't be changed, he simply focuses on the interior decoration.
Zhao Qiang stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking up and looking around, and said, "Great, the decoration is nice. It would be very valuable if it were torn down."
