After traveling through time, I, as a mechanical genius, am dedicated to improving myself.

Zeng Li did not stop Shuyi, but closed the door after she left.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

The center forward was thinking about how to start the conversation, so he briefly explained his purpose.

"Xie Gui's case."

Zeng Li took over the topic naturally: "Have you found a silver mine?"

The center forward stopped thinking, took back the words he had prepared, and frowned slightly as he asked, "Mr. Zeng Li, did you know it was a silver mine?"

"I know. I've been to his house. There are a lot of honeysuckle on the nearby hills, including near his old house, so this mine should be quite large."

"Since Zeng Li already knows, I'll be frank. Although it was you who proposed it, since you haven't yet joined the National Defense Department, it's difficult to grant you a military rank. So, the higher-ups have decided to reward you with 300,000 yuan."

"This is three hundred thousand in cash."

The center forward opened the military bag he brought with him, and it was full of hundred-dollar bills.

"No wonder you, an officer who killed so many people, sent it here. It turned out to be three hundred thousand."

Zeng Li took a quick glance and then looked away.

"But...I don't want it."

"There's something going on in our area lately that's been going on a lot. Ordinary people don't know about it, but you definitely know about it."

"It's mostly my credit."

"What should I do? Should I give him money?"

Zeng Li's unhappiness was all over her face.

"Since it's difficult to give me a military rank before I join the National Defense, I'll do these things to serve the country after I join the National Defense."

"The newly discovered spies will be handed over to the country after they enter the school."

"Don't tell me, it's a pretty big position, a little scary."

Li Si pursed his lips and didn't say anything. What a scary girl, just like the captain, she was holding other people's lives with a smile.

The center forward couldn't make up his mind and stared at Zeng Li with a serious face.

Zeng Li was not afraid of him. She flicked her nails and continued to speak lightly.

"Rules are dead, but your leaders are alive. Do you want to be so pedantic in following the rules? Go ask them again."

Zeng Li stood up and opened the door, her intention to see the guest off was obvious.

The center forward picked up the money bag and gave it back the way it came.

Zeng Li watched them go downstairs.

When he got downstairs, the center forward felt the gaze, paused for a moment, and looked up. It was indeed Zeng Li. The look in her eyes made the center forward feel... dangerous.

Li Si quickly turned his back and did not face Zeng Li directly.

"Let's go, Lao Gao, this girl is a little scary."

"Also... look at her mother's expression. It's obvious that this girl has the final say in the family."

The center forward's expression was tense. "That's what makes it so troublesome. Usually, people with intimidating auras are brave but not wise. But Zeng Li is both brave and wise, and she's quite smart."

"If she doesn't like this kind of people, she will join the army and go down the path of crime."

"It will be difficult to take her down, and it may even be impossible to take her down."

"Situ Zhi is an example."

Li Si retorted: "That's not true. Most of the people I know who have intimidating auras are brave and resourceful."

"That's because you know them. When facing strangers, those who are brave and resourceful generally don't give off an intimidating aura; instead, they're very low-key. You might think they're talkative and knowledgeable, but they can unknowingly scheme against you and kill you."

"Brave but foolish... they don't know how to control their momentum, they don't have much brains, they just scare people with their aggressiveness, or they deliberately bluff, like a street thug."

Li Si has always been very self-aware: "I've learned it, I've learned it, your brains are just different."

Zeng Li went back to her room to sort out her things.
