My sisters drove me away, and now they are crying and begging for my forgiveness?

If Lin An complained about this, they would be scolded at best and directly punished at worst.

"Xiao Miao." Du Chen glared at Du Miao and was about to explain immediately, but before he could finish his words, Lin An spoke first.

"It's me." Lin An was not angry, and his tone was extremely firm. He often faced doubts like Du Miao's and was used to it. If he had to blame someone, it was only because his image was too inconsistent with his achievements, and he could not blame the people who raised the doubts for not knowing how to judge people.

"Ms. Du should know that if I cheated and replaced someone else, I would not be taken to the laboratory by you two now." Lin An's research deals with the higher-ups. A little investigation will reveal whether he is a dragon or a snake. How can he hide it from everyone?

Du Miao was a little embarrassed: "Lin An is right, I was overthinking it."

Du Chen frowned in dissatisfaction. What's going on with Du Miao?

"Mr. Lin, I apologize to you on behalf of Du Miao. We didn't doubt your intentions. Du Miao was just curious."

Lin An nodded, appearing to understand, but as to whether he was truly curious or not, the three of them knew it well.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant until Boss Chen brought over the large seafood platter. Because they had to drive, the three of them did not drink alcohol and instead drank beverages instead.

During this meal, the Du brothers and sisters went from being strangers to being familiar with Lin An. It turned out that delicious food was the best way to reduce the sense of strangeness between strangers. In the second half, Du Miao was able to let go and took the initiative to pick up food for Lin An.

Lin An didn't think Du Miao was trying to be nice. At most, it was just an apology, which he gladly accepted.

It takes seven hours to drive from Chu City to where the laboratory is located, which means that the two of them drove here at night.

"You can't drive while tired. How about we take turns driving? This will give you a chance to sleep for a while." Lin An said to Du Chen.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. When we came, my brother and I took turns driving. We have already rested in the car. You are our key protected person, so just take a good rest. We have undergone professional anti-fatigue training, so you won't fall down easily." Du Miao's tone was not warm, but it was no longer cold either.

Du Chen felt a little annoyed. Du Miao was also a professionally trained person, so how could he be so bad at speaking?

Fortunately, Lin An didn't care. If Lin An had cared, Du Miao's words would have had serious implications.

I should not have brought her along.

Lin An didn't care about these small details. Between men and women, being indifferent also has its advantages.

After a four-hour drive, the car drove off the highway and turned into a county road, and the road suddenly became much narrower.

Lin An looked out the car window. It was October, the busy farming season, and the farmlands on both sides of the county road were filled with machines for harvesting crops.

Lin An was a little confused as to why Du Chen chose this path.

After driving for more than an hour, a bridge appeared in front of them. Lin An was closing his eyes to rest when the car suddenly stopped. The next moment, he heard a "hissing" sound of air being deflated.

Lin An opened his eyes and saw Du Miao had already gotten out of the car and was running in one direction.

Du Chen was still in the car, his hands on his waist, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Lin An frowned. Was he ambushed? Was he targeted? But his identity and itinerary were unlikely to be exposed. Even if they were, Du Chen had already taken a small path. How could he still be targeted by someone?

Du Miao acted quickly and caught a man in no time.

The man looked to be in his early forties, with unkempt hair and a sloppy look, and he really didn't look like an ambush expert.

"What's going on?" Du Chen also noticed something was wrong and looked at Du Miao.

Du Miao gritted her teeth and threw the man in front of Du Chen: "This bastard deliberately threw the nails here, waiting for the tires of passing cars to be punctured, and then came out to repair the tires for people, and he can still make money like this."

In such a remote place, even if the man asks for a huge sum of money, those who are caught can only consider themselves unlucky and spend money to avoid disaster.

Du Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let him make up for it." They were caught and had no choice but to make up for it.

Du Chen didn't let Lin An get out of the car. He got out and took out the car repair tools from the trunk.

Problems with the car are already taken into consideration, and the powerful toolbox can cope with various emergencies.

However, Lin An looked at the tool with a strange look in his eyes.

Du Chen noticed his gaze and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, do you think this looks familiar?"

Lin An nodded. If he remembered correctly, he told those people about this car repair tool when he was trading the air combat system, but he just told them verbally at the time. He didn't expect that they would actually research it out.

The modern society with advanced technology is good. Although it lags behind his world, this world is also very good.

However, this tool can only be regarded as a small tool and cannot be considered military technology.

Du Chen raised the equipment in his hand: "The head of the laboratory said that you told him and he made it because he thought it was useful."

Lin An smiled without wanting to take credit: "I just said it casually. It's their credit that we were able to research it."

He should give credit to the production staff for not caring about such gadgets.

Du Miao listened to the conversation between the two with an unclear look in his eyes.

After repairing the car, we continued our journey and after another two hours, we finally arrived at the jurisdiction of the Military Industry Research Institute.

The car went through layers of approval before entering the military research institute.

The institute's headquarters was located in Beijing. In order to facilitate Lin An, it was moved to the southern branch, which happened to be not too far from him.

Du Chen parked the car, then opened the door and escorted Lin An into the building in front of them, which was not tall but still majestic.

If it weren't for the words "Military Research Institute" written on it, it would look like a newly renovated country school.

It is a six-story building with white walls, but if you go inside you will find that there is a different world inside.

Du Chen took a step forward and made a "please come" gesture: "Mr. Lin, Director Yu is waiting for you in the laboratory."

Lin An retracted his gaze and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"Du Miao, I'll take Mr. Lin in, you go back to the car and wait for me." Du Chen was really worried. Du Miao still lacked experience in dealing with protected persons. What if Du Miao said something unpleasant in front of the director... He didn't even dare to think about it.

Du Miao pursed her lips, turned and left.

"Director Yu, Mr. Lin is here." In the laboratory, Du Chen addressed a man who looked to be in his early forties respectfully.

The man turned around, saw Lin An and ran forward to give him a hug: "Lin An, long time no see."

It’s been a long time indeed.

The first time they met was when they traded the air combat system. After that, they occasionally contacted each other but never met again.

"Director Yu." Lin An hugged the man like a brother, and Director Yu patted his vest enthusiastically, "You really made me want to invite you. If I can't invite you again, I will go and arrest you myself."

Lin An was quite familiar with him, so he didn't say anything too polite: "You should know something about my whereabouts. I really didn't have time these days."

Director Yu patted Lin An's shoulder affectionately as if he were his own son. "Yes, you are a famous person in Beijing now. It is very difficult to meet you. The first step is to make an appointment, and you can't make it too obvious. So I took the initiative to come and see you. There are some things that require you. I don't know what's wrong with your brain. You are so capable. If I had a daughter, I would really like to recruit you as my son-in-law."

Lin An would also be shy, and at this moment he lowered his head shyly: "Brother Yu is too polite, if there is anything you need from me, just tell me, even if I can't be your son-in-law, it won't prevent us from becoming a family."

Director Yu’s eyes lit up.
