After Wang Qiqi and the Golden Leopard exchanged a glance for a moment.
Wang Qiqi subtly turned her head, as if nothing had happened, ignoring the Golden Leopard's resentful expression.
The old Leopard could still be hugged. But now, not to mention hugging, without the Spirit Particle Potion, just a brush against it would leave one out of breath.
"By the way, Master Fox, regarding your Spirit Particle Potion, it has been approved, and within three working days, it will be delivered to the Earth Mineral Group. When the time comes, I'll bring it to you."
After ignoring the demands of the Golden Leopard, Wang Qiqi closed her tablet and said to Master Fox.
"As for the Spirit Particle Potion, as long as you remember it, that's fine."
The three working days did not come as a surprise to Ansheng. Or rather, getting it so quickly was impressive, at least it didn't require him to wait fourteen working days.
"Now, let's talk about the porcelain factory! When are we going in? It's getting kind of late now." Ansheng asked Wang Qiqi.
He looked at the time as he got off the car, and it was almost 1 AM. He had spent quite a bit of time at the processing plant and hoped to get back to Ah Qing's dormitory to sleep by 6 AM.
Attacking the porcelain factory shouldn't be difficult, but Ansheng, who had never seen archaeological work, wanted to see how archaeologists dig up ancestral graves.
"......."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiqi remained silent for a moment, a subtle expression on her cheeks as she said:
"Perhaps... it'll take another half an hour? Due to overseas investor involvement with Xiaotao Royal Porcelain Factory, an honorary principal has been assigned to oversee our operations."
Upon mentioning the 'honorary principal', Wang Qiqi's expression became even more peculiar.
The principal, in name only, could be considered a "legendary figure".
In his earlier years, when the country was weak and impoverished, this returning scholar, before coming back home, was verbally persuaded by enemy agents and accepted a fifty thousand dollar bribe.
He then turned around and established a non-governmental public welfare organization in Peng City and demanded two million more from the enemy.
He ultimately extracted five million dollars in total. The enemy thought they'd ensnared him, but the scholarly honorary principal used the public welfare organization to disseminate the notion that foreigners had not abandoned their desire to destroy us and the idea of erecting a watchtower of dead foreign devils.
The honorary principal recruited numerous like-minded individuals.
They deceived the enemies, and when they gained momentum: "A vengeance of ten generations is still repayable, blood debts must be repaid tenfold, build the watchtower to honor the ancestors."
The developments were completely unexpected; intelligence reported back opened their eyes wide and left them speechless.
Although the Security Bureau later shut down the honorary principal's organization,
Despite the "blemish" in the principal's background, after many ups and downs, he eventually entered the Spirit Particle Research Institute.
After over thirty years of a turbulent journey, he arrived at his current position.
What might be 'hawkish' in others' perspectives might merely be 'quail' in his; even a warmonger would have to light a cigarette for his radical ideas.
"What can I say? The principal sent over by the higher-ups adheres to the notion that diplomacy should not be taken lightly."
"Make sure to arrest everyone involved, even if they only passed by and glanced over, treat them as spies, resistors..."
Wang Qiqi paused here, pondered for a moment, then said: "In short, any stray dog that happens to pass by, as long as they are not purebred of Xia Country origin, should be kicked twice."
"Therefore... before raiding the porcelain factory, we need to prepare thoroughly; otherwise, if even one involved person escapes, the honorary principal will explode."
"They won't even let a stray dog pass?" Ansheng looked at Wang Qiqi with astonishment: "That's quite radical! It reminds me of an old acquaintance in Jiule City."
When Wang Qiqi described the honorary principal's style, Ansheng's mind inexplicably thought of Feng Wenyu.
"If the old acquaintance you mention works in logging, then there's no need to guess; it's definitely his student. They usually do things thoroughly by uprooting every threat." The Golden Leopard remarked to Ansheng.
"Perhaps?" Ansheng shrugged, not knowing who Feng Wenyu's teacher was.
...
Half an hour flew by.
During this period, two sixteen-meter container trailers arrived at the country road near the porcelain factory. Two woodcutters and several forest rangers also moved to the site, with related logistic support personnel lying in ambush at sniper positions.
"Well then... let the capture operation begin!"
Wang Qiqi looked at the black commercial vehicle, instructed the logistic support team to activate the electromagnetic shield, and simultaneously began the capture with staff stationed elsewhere.
The raid on the porcelain factory was just mission one.
At the same time, capturing all suspects was also the task of the "Expert Group for Pest Control" tonight.
The half-hour wait was not only to cover every angle around the porcelain factory, but also to allow other team members to position themselves within the city where the suspects were located.
"Buzzing..."
The electromagnetic shield was activated. Shuttles equipped with infrared devices took off, heading straight for the porcelain factory, scanning the interiors of the building with infrared, and relaying the optical signals back to the black commercial vehicle for 3D modeling.
Mechanical Dogs, bearing weapons, began investigating the building's interior based on the 3D model's view.
And as the Mechanical Dogs entered, the computer displayed an increasingly clearer structure of the porcelain factory interior, even rendering and transmitting the arrangement of internal objects back to the base station vehicle's workstation computer.
"Hello, I am C4-16, please cease your current work. We are from the Security Bureau; you are now suspected of collaborating with overseas organizations. Please cooperate with the investigation."
The Mechanical Dog, having entered the factory storehouse, encountered a warehouse clerk targeted by a drone, and issued this electronic vocal notification.
"Ah?"
The warehouse clerk, who had been sound asleep, was utterly bewildered staring at the Mechanical Dog with a mounted rifle aimed at him, rendered speechless.
"Please cooperate and do not resist. I am equipped with non-conventional C4, specially designed for self-detonation."
As it spoke, the Mechanical Dog mounted the warehouse clerk's back, mechanically clinging its four limbs around his torso and abdomen.
"Please proceed to the designated assembly point under AI guidance. My power is beyond imagination. Your lifespan is long, but my production cost is six thousand."
"Don't risk your life challenging the speed of assembly line production." After securing control over the suspect, the Mechanical Dog reiterated this system-embedded message.
Grasped tightly by the Mechanical Dog, the warehouse clerk scanned the mechanical head perched on his shoulder with rigid expressions, following its instructions step by step out of the door.
During the clerk's movement, the Mechanical Dog's built-in HD camera continued its intelligence collection.
Upon exiting the doorway, the clerk could clearly see two large trailers unloading goods.
Mechanical Dogs were lining up to enter the porcelain factory, unattended, amidst occasional gusts of strong winds and a few enormous drones cruising overhead, illuminating every dark corner.
The warehouse clerk's visage blankly observed the physique-likely yet subtly distinct Mechanical Dogs and the occasional roaring shadows in the sky, ensnared in a surreal dreamlike daze.
Following the Mechanical Dog's directives, the warehouse clerk arrived in front of a macaque, which raised its syringe and injected into the clerk's arm, after three seconds, the syringe lit up green: "Genetic test passed, no traces of genetic editing, classify to cell number two."
