After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 399

"Otherwise what?" The old man remained noncommittal: "That kid, could he possibly attract the attention and support of someone from the provincial bureau?"

"Why do you always look down on him?" Yang Mengyu said angrily. "Can't he rely on himself?"

"Maybe someone else sees the future potential in his drone and battery industries?"

"His excellence should have been noticed long ago."

“Nonsense.” The old man waved his hand dismissively. “The stuff he makes is no different from peeing and mud in the eyes of us old folks.”

“Then his piss is better than yours.” Yang Mengyu retorted, unconvinced. “You guys are too weak to piss now, you all end up wetting your pants.”

“He clearly did it on his own merits, but you insist on saying that I helped him.”

"Think about it carefully. This place is isolated from the world. Don't you know exactly what I do every day?"

"How could I possibly contact someone to help him?"

"Can't you just acknowledge his excellence?"

"Bullshit!" the old man cursed. "Just a blond guy riding a ghost fire, and he calls himself outstanding."

"Maybe he resents me for separating you and him, and keeps calling me an old man."

After cursing a few times, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry. I believe you. I don't think you have the ability to contact that person who helps that kid."

"However, if this kid manages to hook up with that guy in the provincial bureau, then he's worth my attention."

"What do you mean by 'flirting'?" Yang Mengyu said irritably, "Can't you just admit that he's outstanding?"

"If you didn't have this official position, you'd just be an ordinary old man, and you'd have a hard time even seeing a neighborhood director."

"Cough cough cough!" The old man's face turned red with anger: "Other people's daughters are like warm cotton-padded jackets, but why does my daughter always like to go against me?"

"Who told you to lock me up here? I want to get out!" Yang Mengyu said angrily.

"Go out and see that blond guy?" The old man shook his head: "Not now."

"Xiaoyu, your father has seen all kinds of storms. So-called vows of eternal love are just a joke."

"Trust your father, time can change everything."

"Perhaps as he gets older and accumulates wealth, he'll be surrounded by even more beautiful women and forget about you?"

Seeing that Yang Mengyu was getting angrier, he shook his head and smiled, "Alright, stop being angry. If he passes the test and I approve of him, I don't mind if you two are together."

"Why do you make such a fuss?" Yang Mengyu retorted, "Is it you who's getting married, or me who's getting married?"

"Test, test, how long will this test last?"

As the two argued, steady footsteps approached.

It was Yang Panlei, dressed in a solemn military uniform.

He spoke in a calm voice, "Xiaoyu, stop being stubborn with Dad."

"If he really objected, he would have easily killed that blond guy long ago, instead of letting him live so comfortably."

"You're the one who's to blame," Yang Mengyu rolled her eyes at her brother. "You all look down on him and think he's not good enough for our family."

"Dad, don't forget, you were just a country bumpkin back then."

"Has he become detached from the people after only a few years as Grand Commander?"

“It’s not that we look down on him, but we feel he can’t take good care of you,” Yang Panlei said in a deep voice. “After all, with his abilities, how much suffering would you have to endure if you stayed with him?”

"I'm afraid that by then even a nobody like the mayor will dare to boss you around."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." The playful look in the old man's eyes faded, replaced by deep seriousness: "Have you found out? Where did that batch of smuggled weapons come from?"

Knowing that her father and brother were about to discuss serious matters, Yang Mengyu turned and left.

Yang Panlei said in a deep voice, "We've found out, it's Nanzhou."

"However, the information we have so far is all fragmented. All we know is that a batch of products from the Southern Continent was used on the Middle Eastern battlefield and had a significant impact on the battlefield."

"But we don't know what kind of product it is, or how it was shipped abroad through some clandestine channels."

"In my opinion, there must be a high-level illegal arms production site hidden in Nanzhou, and there must be some big shots behind it."

"Even if it's the Heavenly King himself standing there, we'll still have to do it for him." The old man snorted angrily, "What audacity! He actually dares to illegally smuggle weapons abroad, and they're high-tech weapons at that."

"Did you find anything in Nanzhou?"

"No." Yang Panlei shook his head: "We found nothing, not even a single clue."

"I want to go to Nanzhou myself and see which audacious brat dares to produce weapons."

“Go.” The old man nodded. “Investigate thoroughly, but don’t alert them yet. Investigate discreetly.”

"You're thinking of going to visit your brother-in-law while you're at it, aren't you?"

Yang Panlei replied solemnly, "Reporting to the commander, no!"

"You're nothing!" the old man cursed irritably.
