Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 309 Era: XCMG's Simple-minded Wife 13

Rongrong also knew about this. "So, A-Song, are you going to tell Xu Weidong and the others the truth?"

Ji Xiaosong thought for a moment, "There's no need. Even if I tell them it's just data fabrication, they won't believe me. Besides, China is only motivated to work harder on research because of this deception. What if these people change their minds after I say that?"

"Alright then, Ah Song, Officer Li is here."

Li Gong'an ignored him and walked straight up to Ji Xiaosong, giving him a standard military salute: "Red Arrow Special Envoy, the Security Department of the Seventh Research Institute has taken control of the scene. Engineer Xu asked me to tell you that the first phase of the 'Iron Curtain' project has been completed."

Ji Xiaosong wiped the blood from his face and suddenly laughed: "Director Li, you acted really well."

She pointed to the fake Xu Weidong's body on the ground, "Even I was almost fooled."

Police Officer Li, who should now be called Director Li, also laughed: "Engineer Xu said that the person who can fool you hasn't been born yet."

The roar of jeeps echoed outside the warehouse.

Ji Xiaosong handed the gun back to Director Li, dusted himself off, and said, "I'm leaving Officer Zhao to you. Tell him..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Just say I went back to my hometown."

"Where are you going?" Director Li pressed.

Ji Xiaosong looked at the G City train slowly departing into the distance, a smile playing on her lips: "Of course, I'm going to meet that 'Three-Fingers' master."

She pulled a train ticket from the three-finger corpse. "A soft sleeper compartment. We can't waste it."

The sun was shining brightly as I stepped out of the warehouse.

Ji Xiaosong retied her braids and transformed back into the kind and honest rural woman she once was.

*

The light bulbs in the soft sleeper compartment flickered on and off.

Ji Xiaosong huddled in a corner, clutching her blue cloth bundle, like a rural woman taking a train ride for the first time, curiously touching the velvet curtains: "Oh my, this fabric is even softer than my dowry when I got married!"

Across from me sat a middle-aged man dressed in a cadre's uniform, his gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses as sharp as a knife.

This is the "Old K" who worked for Sanzhitou, whom Ji Xiaosong had been searching for for a long time.

She recognized him from the photo.

"Where are you from, comrade?" Old K pushed up his glasses, his tone as amiable as if he were having a casual chat.

Ji Xiaosong counted on her fingers: "First, we took a donkey cart to the county town, then a car to the provincial capital, and now we're riding this iron lump..."

She suddenly lowered her voice, "Boss, this car won't suddenly fly away like that simpleton from my village said, will it?"

Old K's lips twitched: "Comrade, you're joking. Are you going to G City to visit relatives?"

"My husband works as a bricklayer in a steel mill!"

Ji Xiaosong proudly puffed out his chest, "Boss, you don't know, he can carry twenty red bricks at a time!"

As she spoke, she pulled an aluminum lunchbox from her bundle. "Would you like some dates? They grew on my husband's tree!"

There were no dates in the lunchbox, only her homemade "trinkets":

Date pits soaked in chili water, sugar cubes coated with iron filings, and a "red date" made from firecracker gunpowder.

Just as Old K was about to reach out, Ji Xiaosong "accidentally" knocked over the lunchbox, scattering dates all over the floor.

"Oh my mother!"

She rushed to Old K's feet to pick up the dates, and while doing so, flicked a date pit into his trouser leg.

As Old K frowned and dodged, Ji Xiaosong caught a glimpse of a document peeking out from the gap in his briefcase, clearly marked with the words "M-7 Special Steel"!

The train lurched and knocked over Old K's teacup.

Ji Xiaosong "enthusiastically" wiped it, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the table with water, writing Morse code: "The document is fake."

Old K suddenly grabbed her wrist: "You've got pretty good hands, comrade."

"That's not the case!"

Ji Xiaosong grinned and showed off the calluses on his palms, "I used to shred corn every day back in my hometown, and even the village chief praised me for my quick hands!"

She suddenly pointed out the window, "Boss, look! Isn't that a wild boar?"

While Old K turned his head, Ji Xiaosong flicked her finger, and the "gunpowder date" rolled to the bottom of the briefcase.

She counted silently in her mind: five, four, three...

"boom!"

The explosion wasn't loud, but thick smoke instantly filled the private room.

Ji Xiaosong pretended to scream in terror: "Help! The metal lump is going to explode!"

While shouting, she grabbed the briefcase, stuffed the fake bag she had prepared back in, inside which was a "Postpartum Care Manual for Sows" that she had made up on guesthouse stationery.

Footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Ji Xiaosong, clutching the briefcase she had "switched," scrambled out of the private room and bumped into a burly man in blue overalls.

"It's blown up! It's blown up!"

She pointed to the thick smoke behind her, and while the burly man was still in a daze, she smeared a handful of chili powder on his face.

As the burly man clutched his eyes and screamed in pain, Ji Xiaosong had already nimbly slipped through the crowd, shouting, "Make way! I can't hold it in anymore!"

As soon as the toilet door was locked, Ji Xiaosong immediately started looking through the documents.

Sure enough, the data on the so-called "special steel" was full of loopholes: the tensile strength was listed as "980MPa", but the density was only half that of ordinary steel.

This is even more outrageous than carbon fiber forty years from now!

"Knock knock knock!" Someone was banging on the door.

Ji Xiaosong deftly stuffed the documents into her underwear, but as soon as she opened the door, a gun was pressed against her lower back.

Old K's voice was sinister: "Comrade Red Arrow, your acting is pretty good, isn't it?"

"What did the boss say?" Ji Xiaosong blinked. "I just came to relieve myself..."

"Stop playing dumb!" Old K sneered. "Three Fingers sent a telegram before he died, saying you could disguise yourself as a rural woman..."

Ji Xiaosong suddenly pointed to the ceiling: "Oh dear! A spider!"

As Old K instinctively looked up, she struck him in the stomach with her elbow, shouting, "You pervert! Someone touched my butt!"

The sound attracted the attention of the flight attendants and passengers.

Just as Old K was about to draw his gun, Ji Xiaosong "panicked" and bumped into his arms, but actually used her knee to slam into his groin.

As Old K groaned and bent over, she ripped open her collar and shouted, "Help! You perverted old man, you're tearing my clothes!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Several men who looked like workers grabbed Old K and were about to beat him up when the flight attendant quickly intervened to break up the fight.

In the chaos, Ji Xiaosong grabbed his briefcase and made a quick getaway.

The train made a temporary stop at a small station.

As soon as Ji Xiaosong jumped off the train, she was dragged into the platform toilet.

The familiar scent of pine wafts over.

It's Xu Weidong!

"you……"

Before Xu Weidong could even open his mouth, Ji Xiaosong covered his mouth and said, "Listen to me! The data on special steel in that Old K document is fake!"

She quickly explained the contradictions in the documents using the most colloquial language: "It's like pickling vegetables at home. If you want the vegetable stalks to be crisp, you have to add ingredients and increase the weight. How can it be both light and crisp?"

Xu Weidong frowned.

Ji Xiaosong seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "The Americans are really wicked! They want us to work for nothing and delay their own research!"

He pulled out a roasted sweet potato and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Eat it while it's hot, it's much better than that piece of junk!"

The platform announcement suddenly came on: "Comrade Xu Weidong, who is on train K347, please proceed to the stationmaster's office immediately..."

Xu Weidong gave Ji Xiaosong a deep look, then turned and left.

Ji Xiaosong thought she had failed to persuade him and returned to the train dejectedly.

To her surprise, half an hour later, Xu Weidong appeared before her with Director Li.

"Go home," Xu Weidong said succinctly.

Director Li explained with a smile, "Our superiors have agreed with our assessment. The experts from the Seventh Research Institute reviewed the documents you brought out and confirmed that the data they initially obtained was a hoax. Therefore, they have decided to go back and discuss the matter further, and we must catch up with the special steel technology of Country M!"

He lowered his voice, "But how did you spot the data problem?"

Ji Xiaosong said innocently, "My dad said that bragging doesn't cost anything. That data is even more outrageous than the tall tales told by Granny Wang in our village!"

On the train back, Ji Xiaosong munched on a roasted sweet potato and asked indistinctly, "Are we really not going to see that old K anymore?"

Xu Weidong pulled out an arrest warrant from his pocket; Old K's photo was stamped with a red seal that read "Captured".

Ji Xiaosong slapped her thigh with delight: "Serves him right! Let him touch my butt!"

Sunlight streamed through the car window and fell on the two of them.

Xu Weidong suddenly reached out and wiped the sweet potato bits from the corner of Ji Xiaosong's mouth.

This action stunned both of them.

"Well..." Ji Xiaosong's ears burned, "I'll make you some pork ribs when we get back!"

Xu Weidong's lips curled up slightly: "Okay."

Just that one word made Ji Xiaosong feel as sweet as honey.

She hummed a little off-key tune. Although she hadn't gotten any special steel on this mission, she had managed to get rid of this taciturn guy, so it was worth it!
