My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

2 p.m.

The scientific research expedition team arrived at Mine No. 17.

Looking at the huge mine pit that was about tens of meters deep, Lei Wanqing and the members of the scientific research expedition team couldn't help but frown and sigh, and Yun Jiaojiao had a solemn expression on her face.

Mine No. 17 is the wound of Longguo and the evidence of the crimes committed by the invaders on the land of Longguo.

Decades ago, Longguo was invaded by foreign powers.

Mine No. 17, which contains treasures, fell into the hands of the great powers.

The great powers mined extensively and unearthed a lot of treasures from Mine No. 17.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten."

Lei Wanqing clenched his fists.

"Comrades, so that our future generations will no longer suffer from the bullying of invaders, let us work together to develop more advanced weapons. Let us use our strongest fists to defend the territory and people of our Dragon Country."

Under the encouragement of Lei Wanqing, Xu Fuyang, Yun Jiaojiao and other members of the research team entered the mine along the rugged path dug by the miners with high morale.

After more than ten minutes of arduous journey, a group of more than ten people finally reached the bottom of the mine.

Yun Jiaojiao squatted on the ground, holding a magnifying glass, searching bit by bit.

Xu Fuyang and other team members also squatted on the ground with a magnifying glass in hand, searching for rare minerals intently.

Two hours passed and nothing was found. Everyone's faces showed disappointment.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, one of the team members walked up to Lei Wanqing with a weary look on his face and suggested, "Dean, the sun is about to set. It's still some distance from here to fall into the valley. We need to pack up as soon as possible."

"Uncle Lei, Director Xu, come here for a moment."

Just as Lei Wanqing was about to order the troops to withdraw, Yun Jiaojiao suddenly spoke.

Yun Jiaojiao spoke in an excited tone.

Xu Fuyang was relatively close to her. Hearing her excited tone, he hurried over to her and asked, "What did you find?"

Yun Jiaojiao used tweezers to pick up a piece of stone the size of a melon seed with an olive green metallic luster and showed it to Xu Fuyang.

"This is uranium ore."

"I dug this melon seed-sized uranium ore out of the soil."

Yun Jiaojiao pointed to the hole on the ground.

"I can dig uranium ore out of the soil, proving that there is uranium ore beneath Mine No. 17."

"Uranium ore can be used to extract radium, which can be used not only to make weapons but also in the medical field."

"This, this is really uranium ore."

Although Xu Fuyang was not as knowledgeable as Yun Jiaojiao, he still recognized uranium ore.

"Yun Jiaojiao, you've done a great job this time."

After confirming that Yun Jiaojiao had discovered uranium ore, Xu Fuyang was even more excited than Yun Jiaojiao.

Today, Longguo has no status in the international arena because it lacks deterrent weapons. Once weapons are invented, Longguo's international status will leap forward.

Just when Xu Fuyang was extremely excited, a stone the size of a grapefruit fell towards where Yun Jiaojiao was.

When Lei Wanqing saw Luo Shi, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Jiaojiao, Fu Yang, be careful."

The other members of the scientific research expedition team were frightened to death by the falling rocks.

At the critical moment, Xu Fuyang jumped to the side.

Yun Jiaojiao was pressed under him.

Just as he pressed Yun Jiaojiao under him, a stone fell down and hit his left leg.

"what!"

The sound of broken bones and Xu Fuyang's screams spread at the bottom of the mine.

The frightened Yun Jiaojiao also fainted.

Lei Wanqing and the members of the scientific research expedition team came to their senses and rushed towards the two men in panic. No one noticed the figure that flashed past above the mine.

After confirming that Xu Fuyang was only injured and Yun Jiaojiao was just unconscious, Lei Wanqing and the members of the scientific research expedition team breathed a sigh of relief. They hurriedly sent the two back to the camp and asked the team doctor to treat their injuries.

"How are Fu Yang and Jiao Jiao?"

After the team doctor finished his work, Lei Wanqing couldn't wait to inquire about the conditions of Xu Fuyang and Yun Jiaojiao.

"Director Xu's injury is quite serious. His leg is broken. I've put a board in to fix it. If he wants to set the bone, he needs to return to Tagan County as soon as possible."

"Deputy Director Yun is fine."

"Jiaojiao is fine, why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"Deputy Director Yun is pregnant. I just took her pulse and found out she's been pregnant for over a month. She must have been exhausted during this time. She'll wake up after a good rest."

"Jiaojiao is pregnant!"

Xu Fuyang and Lei Wanqing spoke at the same time.

Xu Fuyang looked at Yun Jiaojiao, who was unconscious and pale beside him, with a very complicated look in his eyes.

Lei Wanqing pressed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

With a pregnant woman and a wounded person, it looks like we have to break camp tonight.

Just as Lei Wanqing was about to order the camp to be broken up, Xu Fuyang's faint voice sounded in the tent.

"Dean Lei, I think this rockfall was not an accident, but man-made."

Xu Fuyang glanced around the tent.

When his eyes fell on Zhang Wanru, she obviously shrank her neck.

Zhang Wanru lowered her head, feeling extremely angry.

Can't blame her.

The person she wants to deal with is Yun Jiaojiao.

Xu Fuyang, why did you take the blame for that bitch Yun Jiaojiao?

you deserve it!

Xu Fuyang took in Zhang Wanru's actions and continued, "For everyone's safety, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated."

"Ah."

Lei Wanqing also felt that the falling rocks just now were very strange.

Since the mining of Pit No. 17, there has never been any report of rockfall.

"I will report this matter to the Tagan Public Security Bureau and ask the comrades of the Tagan Public Security Bureau to conduct an investigation."

As soon as Lei Wanqing said this, the color on Zhang Wanru's face quickly faded.

She was almost shaking with fear.

That night, Lei Wanqing ordered the camp to be moved.

In order for Xu Fuyang to receive medical treatment as soon as possible and for the baby in Yun Jiaojiao's belly to be safe, the guide led the group to take a shortcut.

Three days later, Yun Jiaojiao woke up in the morning of Tagan County Hospital.

Yun Jiaojiao opened her eyes and smelled a strong smell of disinfectant.

She turned her eyes and found Xu Fuyang lying next to her with his left calf in a cast. Her thoughts gradually came back to her.

"Xu Fuyang, thank you for saving me."

Yun Jiaojiao sincerely apologized to Xu Fuyang.

Although she looked down on this man, he really saved her life this time, so she had to express her gratitude.

"How's your leg?"

"you're awake."

Seeing Yun Jiaojiao open her eyes, Xu Fuyang felt relieved and an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"You're pregnant, and you still dare to follow the team. I think you don't want to live anymore."

"I am pregnant!"

Yun Jiaojiao reached out and touched her flat belly, an expression of disbelief on her face.

Seeing her incredulous expression, Xu Fuyang said speechlessly: "Don't you always think you are smart? You didn't even know you were pregnant!"
