Late at night, the car arrived at the Fog City Special Defense Military Base. Ordinary vehicles would never be allowed entry, and even approaching would result in a warning.
However, as Lu Ming's car drove up, it passed through unimpeded. If the Fan family had seen this, they would never have dared to provoke Lu Ming.
Escorted by soldiers, the car reached the Military Science Research Institute.
Lu Ming entered carrying the bronze fish, where numerous research scholars were already lined up and waiting.
Everyone had received the information early, knowing that the Dragon Warlord was coming. He was the guardian deity of the Chinese nation, a super idol to whom people paid homage!
In order to meet the Warlord, the research scholars voluntarily requested to work overtime to do things for Lu Ming.
When Lu Ming appeared inside the institute, everyone was so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.
This was the Warlord, this was truly the Warlord!
Everyone stood at attention and saluted, "Greetings, Warlord!"
Lu Ming nodded with a smile, "You're welcome, relax yourselves. Look how nervous you all are. I rushed over tonight because I need your help, a very important favor."
The research scholars said in unison, "We will do our best to complete the task for the Warlord!"
"Good!" Lu Ming pointed to the bronze fish on the table and said, "I've called you here today to ask for your help in processing this fish."
Huh?
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, not understanding what he meant.
Process a fish?
This was a research institute in a key military area, not a five-star hotel kitchen, nor a market. How could they possibly help him process a fish?
However...
One scholar stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Warlord, please leave this to me. To be honest, I studied cooking for two years, and my culinary skills are the best here! Warlord, do you want it braised or steamed? I can do either!"
Lu Ming awkwardly scratched his head, realizing he might have gone off-topic.
He waved his hand, chuckling helplessly, "No, no, you've misunderstood. I don't need you to cook the fish. If I needed someone to cook it, why would I come all the way here? That would be overkill! I've come to ask you to help me install something on the fish."
Install what?
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Lu Ming said three words: "A bug!"
Oh?
The mood of the crowd immediately lifted, "So it's a bug, that's simple. We have all sorts of bugs here."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "It's not that simple. I need you to create a bug that perfectly imitates the scales of this fish, preferably with a tracking function. Then, install the bug on the fish so that it's undetectable and doesn't fall off!"
Only then did everyone understand what needed to be done, though the difficulty was indeed immense.
Someone asked, "When does the Warlord need it by?"
Lu Ming sighed, "You only have one night. Can you manage it?"
One night, the difficulty was extremely high!
However, if it weren't difficult, Lu Ming wouldn't have come here for help.
Let's get started!
Everyone rolled up their sleeves and cooperated. It had to be said that everyone working here was a top-tier scientist. Their speed and capability when working together were terrifying.
What was initially almost impossible was actually accomplished within a single night!
When the scientists returned the bronze fish to Lu Ming, he couldn't find any trace of tampering. Every single scale was perfect.
This was even when Lu Ming knew there was a problem and was looking for it carefully. A normal person would have even less chance of discovering anything.
Lu Ming joked, "Did you really install a bug? I can't see any flaws at all."
The scientists all laughed.
Following that, they placed the bronze fish in a basin and filled it with water.
The fish swam happily in the water.
"Warlord, please listen to the effect."
Lu Ming went to the listening equipment, and the scientists turned it on. They could hear the sound of the flowing water and the voices of people speaking very clearly.
It felt as if they were present, as if everything was happening before their eyes.
"Amazing. To achieve this level, you truly are first-class scholars of a key military area." Lu Ming praised.
Receiving the Warlord's praise, all the scientists beamed with joy and were extremely happy.
Lu Ming looked at the listening equipment and said, "Next, we can catch that big fish, Fan Xiaoyun!"
...
The next morning, at the Orange Red Building, in the research laboratory.
Fan Xiaoyun, who had been working hard for several days, came to 'drink blood' again.
Ren Jiang, who was conducting research, said, "Your frequency is getting higher and higher lately. If you keep drinking like this, you'll drain those children. If you don't find the remaining children soon, I won't be able to continue this work."
Fan Xiaoyun chuckled, raising her hand. In her hand, she held a very large bronze fish.
"Ten pounds." Fan Xiaoyun said proudly.
Ren Jiang's eyes lit up, and he said in disbelief, "Not bad, Fan Xiaoyun. I truly didn't expect you to be so capable, that you actually managed to find such a large bronze fish. This one alone can properly replenish the children's blood. The children won't die."
Fan Xiaoyun said proudly, "Of course. Who do you think I am, Fan Xiaoyun? How could I let something within my grasp die for nothing? Alright, help me feed."
"No problem."
Then, Ren Jiang helped Fan Xiaoyun feed, making her full.
Only the poor child was once again subjected to blood extraction.
The children in the inner room, all pale-faced, showed signs of having been victims of foul play.
At the same time.
On the other side.
Lu Ming sat by the listening equipment, his eyes burning with rage. Now Lu Ming finally knew the truth behind Fan Xiaoyun's kidnapping of children.
It turned out that it was all for Fan Xiaoyun to regain her fertility.
Lu Ming said with a cold face, "Fan Xiaoyun, she will not be allowed to live!"
However, the immediate priority now was to rescue the children. This was a delicate matter, requiring neither haste nor slowness.
Haste would easily alert them. If Fan Xiaoyun discovered something was wrong prematurely, she might move the children!
Once they were moved, the possibility of finding them again would be extremely slim.
Of course, slowness was also problematic.
If it was too slow, by the time the children were found, they might only be corpses.
How to strike the right balance was a very difficult task.
Lu Ming said to Dragon King, "Keep a close eye on the Orange Red Building. Remember, absolutely do not let Fan Xiaoyun discover this! Also, thoroughly investigate Dr. Ren who was talking to Fan Xiaoyun. Perhaps this person can be a breakthrough in the rescue plan!"
Dragon King nodded repeatedly, "As you command!"
Then.
Lu Ming sat in his chair, gently tapping the table with his fingers, and muttered to himself, "Fan Xiaoyun, you beast who has angered both gods and men, I, Lu Ming, will not let you live!"
