Chapter 156 Qin Changfeng!
"Did you do the 'Stardust Steel' thing?"
The cold voice echoed in the empty living room, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from Qin Xiao's back.
He knew that this matter could not be kept secret.
He forced himself to nod.
"Yes."
Qin Changfeng's gaze was like a sharp knife, as if he wanted to dissect him completely.
"Who gave you the guts?"
"Do you know what that is?"
"Do you know how much trouble your phone call can cause the military?"
The three questions, each more somber than the last, were all posed in succession.
Qin Xiao lowered his head even further.
"Dad, I..."
"I'm asking you, who are you going to give that piece of 'Stardust Steel' to?" Qin Changfeng interrupted him, his voice already carrying a hint of barely perceptible anger.
Qin Xiao remained silent for a moment.
He knew that Zhang Yan's identity could not be revealed for the time being.
But he also knew that in front of his father, who was as shrewd as a fox, any lie would seem pale and powerless.
He gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.
"For one person."
"A young man named Zhang Yan."
"Zhang Yan?" Qin Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.
He vaguely remembered the name.
It seems to be the soon-to-be grandson-in-law of the Nie family, who has recently gained fame in Beijing's social circles.
One, an ordinary student who came from an orphanage.
"You dare to use military strategic resources for the sake of an outsider?"
A flicker of disappointment flashed in Qin Changfeng's eyes. "Qin Xiao, you're really becoming more and more out of line!"
"Dad, he's not an outsider!"
Qin Xiao suddenly raised his head and hurriedly defended himself.
"he……"
He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to describe to his father that man who was like a god or a demon.
They say he can conjure a land-based flying machine with his bare hands?
He could make the old master of the Nie family treat him as an honored guest with just a few words.
He said that with just a glance, he could make this "mad dog" willingly bow down and submit.
Who would believe these words if I said them out loud?
I'm afraid it will only be seen as a pipe dream.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and recounted his conversation with Zhang Yan at the club in detail.
This includes Zhang Yan's promise to help him build a "Cheng Ying" car.
Qin Changfeng listened quietly, his expression unchanged.
Until Qin Xiao finished speaking.
He spoke slowly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
"A hovercraft, without wheels?"
Do you think I'd believe that?
"Dad, I'm telling the truth!"
Qin Xiao panicked, "That car is currently parked in the warehouse of the Nie family's old residence!"
"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate!"
Qin Changfeng looked at him and remained silent for a long time.
He knows his son.
Although he acts eccentrically and lawlessly, he is by no means the kind of person who would use such a thing to deceive himself.
If what he said is true...
The young man named Zhang Yan represents far more than just being the grandson-in-law of the Nie family.
A mysterious figure who can effortlessly create technology that surpasses the technology of his time.
Its value is even greater than that of an army group!
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Qin Changfeng's eyes.
He picked up the teacup and gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface of the water.
"We can't give him that piece of 'Stardust Steel'."
"What?!"
Qin Xiao was struck dumb, his eyes widening in shock.
"Dad! I've already agreed to him!"
"If you ask me to back out now, how am I supposed to hold my head up in front of Brother Yan after this?!"
He stepped forward excitedly.
Qin Changfeng merely glanced at him indifferently.
"Are you here to teach me how to do things?"
That gaze was calm, yet dignified.
Qin Xiao felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe.
All the excitement and anger were extinguished at that moment.
He slumped back a step, his face filled with resentment and humiliation.
He knew that no one could change his father's decision.
"Dad, you can't do this..." His voice carried a hint of pleading.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to give it to you." Qin Changfeng put down his teacup and slowly stood up.
He walked to the window and looked outside at the cold, bright moon.
"Stardust Steel is a national treasure; it's impossible for it to be handed over to someone of unknown origin so casually."
He turned around, looked at his son, and said, word by word.
"Bring him to see me tomorrow."
"I want to see for myself who this young man is who you admire so highly."
"Wait for me, I've seen it."
"Let's decide again whether to give them that stone or not."
Qin Xiao's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
He was to bring Zhang Yan to see his father?
What is this?
Is this an interview?
Is it subject to censorship?
With Zhang Yan's personality—a man of his word, arrogant to the core—it was a perfect match.
How could anyone accept such humiliating conditions?
Doesn't this mean you've directly and utterly offended someone?
"Dad, this...this isn't appropriate, is it?" he said with difficulty.
"What's inappropriate?" Qin Chang-
The wind asked in return.
"Since you describe him as so amazing."
"Then he doesn't need to worry about this situation."
"A truly capable person will not fear any test."
After Qin Changfeng finished speaking, he ignored him, turned around, and walked upstairs.
Only Qin Xiao was left standing there, dejected and lost.
He felt like he was Pigsy looking in the mirror, neither human nor innocent.
On one side was himself, whom he worshipped to the point of complete devotion, "Brother Yan".
On the other side was himself, and his own father, whom he feared like a tiger.
He couldn't afford to offend either side.
Frustrated, Qin Xiao scratched his hair and paced back and forth in the living room.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and took out his phone.
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
He dialed the number he had just saved, the one labeled "Brother Yan".
The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.
"Feed?"
A calm yet detached voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Xiao's heart instantly jumped into his throat.
He licked his dry lips and spoke cautiously, in an almost fawning tone.
"Brother Yan...it's me, Qin Xiao."
"It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"
