Xia Lei had left, the Germans also dispersed. There was only Ling Han and Song Baicheng left in the hall, their faces one darker than the other.
夏雷走了，德国人人也散了。走廊里就只剩下了凌浩和宋百成，两人的脸色一个比一个难看。
“I…,” Song Baicheng wanted to explain but the words came to his mouth and never came out. He honestly did not know what to say.
“我……”宋百成想解释，可话到嘴边又没声了。他实在不知道该说些什么。
“You do not need to explain, I understand what is going on.” Ling Han’s voice was cold “If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid! You cannot even see through such a simple trap, did you think you were a love saint? You cannot see through such a simple trap? How would that German woman like you?”
“不用解释,我很清楚发生什么事情。”凌浩的声音冷冷的，“要怪就怪你太蠢了吧！这么简单一个陷阱你都看不出来，你以为你是情圣吗？这么简单的陷阱你都看不出来？那个德国女人怎么会看上你？”
Song Baicheng was ashamed. He was afraid to talk.
宋百成满脸羞愧，不敢说话。
Ling Han sighed, “That German woman framed you, yet Xia Lei even pulled me into the conflict. Do you know why he did that?”
凌浩叹了一口气，“那个德国女人陷害你，夏雷却把我也扯了进来，你知道他为什么要这么做吗？”
Song Baicheng thought about it and answered carefully, “Did he want to take revenge on us for what we did last time?”
宋百成想了一下才小心翼翼地道:“难道他想报复我们上次做的事？”
Ling Han naturally understood what it was Song Baicheng was talking about, but he said, “If that is what you think, then you are thinking too lightly of Xia Lei.”
凌浩自然明白宋百成说的事是什么事，可他却说道:“你这样想，那你就把夏雷想的太简单了。”
“If he is not taking revenge for last time, then what is it?” Song Baicheng could not understand.
“如果不是为了上次的事而报复，那他这么做究竟是为了什么？”宋百成想不明白。
Ling Han said, “You forgot who came this morning?”
凌浩说道:“你忘了今天一早谁来过了吗？”
Song Baicheng paused and then suddenly understood, “Mr. Z, are you talking about Fan Fan? Could she be behind this?”
宋百成顿时愣了一下，忽然明白了什么，“Z先生，你说的是凡凡吗？这件事难道是她在搞鬼？”
“I guess you are not truely stupid.”
“你还不算真正的愚蠢。”
“Xia Lei wants to help Fan Fan get the position of the Director of the ZN Bureau, is he crazy?”
“夏雷竟然想帮凡凡得到ZN局的局长之位，他疯了吗？”
“He is not crazy. He is very sure of what he wants to do.”
“他可没疯，他清楚他想要什么。”
Song Baicheng said enraged, “He will regret it! Boss Zhongzhen fancied you, the one he supported was also you, Fan Fan cannot do anything about it. Now that Xia Lei has intervened and helped Fan Fan to work against you, is he not scared of us making trouble for him in the future?”
宋百成愤愤地道：“他会后悔的！宗正老总看中是你，他支持的也是你，凡凡做什么都没有用。夏雷搀和进来，帮助凡凡与你作对，他就不怕我们以后找他的麻烦吗？”
“Do you still not get it? It is because he is scared of us causing trouble for him in the future that he did this.”
“你还不明白吗？他就是怕我以后找他的麻烦，所以他才这么干的。”
Song Baicheng took some time to comprehend what he had heard.
宋百成顿时愣了一下。
Ling Han said, "Old Song, you have followed me for so many years, this is a critical time, are you willing to do a little sacrifice for me?"
凌浩淡淡地道:“老宋啊，你跟着我这么多年，现在是非常关键的时候，你愿意为我做出一点牺牲吗？”
“Mr. Z, do you suspect my loyalty to you? Just say it, what do you want me to do?” Song Baicheng’s eyes were filled with perseverance. He looked like a completely different person from before.
“Z先生，你难道还怀疑我对你的忠诚吗？你说吧，你想让我做什么？”宋百成的眼神之中充满了坚毅，此刻的他和之前的他判若两人。
“Very good! I will gave Boss Zhongzhen a call to explain the situation and then you will go turn yourself in. Remember, you are turning yourself in to the police, not to Boss Zhongzhen.”
“很好！我会给宗正老总打一个电话，说明情况，然后你就去自首。记住，是去警察局自首，不是向宗正老总自首。”
“I…” It was clear that Song Baicheng did not expect Ling Han suggest something like this.
“我……”宋百成显然没有想到凌浩让他做的事是这样的事。
“Do not worry. Once this exchange ends and the German leave, you will be able to come out at anytime. By then I should have inherited Boss Zhongzhen’s position. I will make you come back to take Fan Fan’s position,” said Ling Han.
“你放心吧，这次交易很快就会结束，德国人一走，你随时都能出来。那个时候我应该已经接替了宗正老总的位置，我会让你回来接替凡凡的位置。”凌浩说。
Song Baicheng did not hesitate. He nodded his head, “I understand. You can call Boss Zhongzhen and then I will turn myself in. I was the one who caused this mess, I cannot drag you with me, I will shoulder all of this!”
宋百成没有犹豫，他点了一下头，“我明白了，你给宗正老总打电话吧，然后我就去自首。这个篓子是我捅下的，我不能害了你，就让我来承担这一切吧！”
Ling Han patted Song Baicheng’s shoulder and then took out his phone.
凌浩拍了一下宋百成的肩膀，然后掏出了手机……
At the same time in Connell Bridge’s room.
同一时间，康纳桥的房间里。
"Miss Sylvia, there is only the two of us in here, can you tell me the truth now?" Asked Connell Bridge.
“西尔维娅小姐，这里就只有我们两个人，你可以告诉我真相了吧。”康纳桥说道。
"Mr. Connell Bridge, to be honest with you, Mark Armin gave me a very clear order and that is to get on Mr. Xia's good side and then receive information on the Hellbound One-soldier Cannon. I came here first and came to an agreement with Mr. Xia. He said that if I help him chase away that guy named Ling, then he will give me what I want."
“康纳桥先生，实话告诉你吧，马克阿明先生给了我很明确的指示，那就是讨好夏先生，然后获得地狱犬单兵火炮的情报。我先来到这里，我和夏先生达成了协议，他说如果我帮他撵走那个姓凌的，他就会给我想要的东西。”
Connell Bridge became excited, "That is great! I will immediately contact ambassador Phillip to go pressure the Chinese right now."
康纳桥顿时激动了起来，“那太好了，我马上联系菲利普大使，让他现在就去华方施压。”
The Hellbound One-soldier Cannon, but it was not a part of this exchange, and to be able to receive its information, then it would be a great accomplishment!
地狱犬单兵火炮可谓是单兵大杀器，可它并不在这次交易之中，而能得到它的情报，那将是大功一件！
Sylvia stood up and said in a polite manner, "Mr. Connell Bridge, I need to go back now. Good night."
西尔维娅起身，很有礼貌地道：“康纳桥先生，我得回去了，晚安。”
Connell Bridge asked curiously, "Do you not want to wait until I finish my call with Mr. Phillip, get the results and then go back?"
康纳桥好奇地道：“你不我和菲利普先生通完话，知道结果再回去吗？”
Sylvia pointed at the tank top on her waist and smiled, "I need to return it to Mr. Xia. You have your work to do, I also have things I need to do."
西尔维娅指了一下系在腰间的白色背心，笑着说道：“我得把它还给夏先生。你有你的工作要处理，我也有我要做的事情。”
Connell Bridge paused for a slight second but very soon he understood. He smiled as he said, "All right then, I wish for your success Miss Sylvia."
康纳桥微微愣了一下，不过很快就心领神会了，他笑着说道：“那好吧，祝你成功，西尔维娅小姐。”
夜色笼罩着雷马军工厂，清冷的月光下雷马军工厂别有一番工业的美感。它就像是一只匍匐在大地上的巨龙，目前还沉睡着，可一旦黎明破晓它就会一飞冲天，撼动整个世界！
“它是一个奇迹，我就要去和缔造这个奇迹的人约会。”西尔维娅的嘴角浮出了一丝笑容。在她的心里，同样是机械师出身的夏雷就像是足球世界里的C罗、梅西，是她的偶像。能与偶像约会，她能不开心吗？
却不等西尔维娅走近别墅就看见穿着短裤拖鞋的夏雷从别墅里走出来，精赤着上身，他的肌肉很结实，富有雄性的力量，却又白皙光滑，线条匀称。她好不怀疑夏雷的身材是她见过的最性感的男人的身材，他身上的肌肉也是她所见过的最漂亮的肌肉。
It was as if Xia Lei did not see Sylvia. He headed straight toward the new factory area after he came out of the villa. At the end of the road was the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe second generation's core workshop.
夏雷似乎没有发现西尔维娅，从别墅出来之后就往新厂区的方向走去，那个方向的尽头是雷龙智能机床二代的核心车间。
"Mr. Xia." Sylvia quickly caught up to him.
“夏先生。”西尔维娅快步追了上去。
Xia Lei turned his head and then stopped in his steps. He wore an attractive smile, "Miss Sylvia, is there something wrong?"
夏雷回头看了一眼，然后停下了脚步，脸上带着迷人的笑容，“西尔维娅小姐，有事吗？”
"I came to return your clothes." Sylvia walked next to Xia Lei. She gave a slight tug and the tank top around her waist slipped off her body. There was only a purple laced underwear left on her lower body. It tightly hugged her glutes and the mysterious area. It was like her second layer of skin making it easy to see the shape of that place and the curve.
“我是来给你还衣服的。”西尔维娅走到了夏雷的身边，一只柔荑轻轻一拉，系在腰间的背心就脱离了她的身体。她的下身就只剩下了那条紫色的蕾丝花边，它紧紧地包裹着她的热臀，以及神秘之地。它犹如她的第二层皮肤，以至于清晰可以看见那里的形状，以及凹痕。
Xia Lei hurriedly turned away his eyes and looked around. Luckily it was already very late so there was no one around or else there would be a gossip about him and the German machinist.
夏雷慌忙移开了视线，看了一下四周。还好，时间已经有点晚了，这周围没有别人。不然这厂里就又会多一些他和德国女机械师的八卦故事了。
“Quickly tie it on,” urged Xia Lei.
“快系上它。”夏雷催促道。
But Sylvia did not listen, "Mr. Xia, you promised me that if I help you chase away that Ling guy, you will fulfill my wish."
西尔维娅却不听话了，“夏先生，你答应过我的。只要我帮你撵走了那个姓凌的，你就会满足我的愿望。”
Xia Lei said a bit speechless, "I said that I will give you a #
夏雷有些无语地道：“我说的是给你一只地狱犬单兵火炮，这不就是你的愿望吗？”
"That is work, not my wish." The corner of Sylvia's turned into a sly smile, "Let us talk. Are we going to your room or my room?"
“那是工作的事，可不是我的愿望。”西尔维娅的嘴角浮出了一丝狡猾的笑意，“我们聊聊吧，去你的房间还是我的房间？”
Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "I'm planning on going to the workshop to do some work. You want to come?"
夏雷耸了一下肩，“我正要去车间办点事，你要一起去吗？”
"Of course." Sylvia tied the tank top Xia Lei gave her on her waist again.
“当然。”西尔维娅又将夏雷给她的背心系在了腰上。
Two security guards from the Thunder Horse Military Factory stood in front of the new factory's core workshop. When they saw Xia Lei coming over, they stood as straight as a pencil and gave Xia Lei a salute in sync.
新厂区核心车间门口站着两个雷马军工厂自己的保安，看见夏雷过来，两个保安站得笔直，还齐刷刷地给夏雷敬了一个礼。
Xia Lei nodded in acknowledgement. He entered the password and scanned his fingerprint to open the door. Then he took Sylvia inside.
夏雷点头致意，数量地输入密码，核对指纹打开了大门，然后带着西尔维娅走了进去。
The second generation core workshop was very quiet. With a weight close to a thousand tons, the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe second generation was like a transformer who had yet transformed. It sat on the ground as if it could turn into an invincible transformer at any time.
二代核心车间里静悄悄的。重达千吨的雷龙智能机床二代就像是一个没有变形的汽车人，它趴在地上，随时都会变成一个可以飞天遁地无所不能的汽车人。
Although it was not the first time she had seen it, Sylvia was still mesmerized by the sight of the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe second generation. In her eyes, it was not only a miracle, but it had a sexiness just like its owner.
虽然已经不是第一次看见了，可雷龙智能机床二代进入视线的时候西尔维娅还是被它所镇住了。在她的眼里，它不仅是一个奇迹，它和它的主人一样性感。
The first thing Xia Lei did when entered the control room was to turn off the surveillance cameras in the workshop.
夏雷进了中控室，干的第一件事就是关闭了车间里的监控摄像头。
Sylvia who followed Xia Lei into the workshop, smiled, "You actually brought me here on purpose, didn't you? You did not want to stay in the villa because the guy named Ling had not left yet and you did not want him to find out the secret between us."
跟着夏雷进入中控室的西尔维娅笑了，“你其实是故意带我到这里来的吧？你不想在别墅里，那个姓凌的还没有离开，你不想让他发现我和你之间的秘密。”
Xia Lei smiled, "You are very smart. Without my permission no one can enter this place. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
夏雷笑了一下，“你很聪明，这个地方没有我的授权，谁都不能进来。你想和我谈什么？说吧。”
Sylvia pulled down the tank top tied on her waist and threw it at Xia Lei's face.
西尔维娅伸手拉下系在腰间的背心，随手一抛就扔在了夏雷的脸上。
Xia Lei grabbed the tank top and gave a whiff. He laughed as he said, "It's caught your smell, how do I wear it now?"
夏雷抓着背心，轻轻地嗅了一下，笑着说道：“它沾上你的味道，你让我怎么穿？”
Sylvia also threw her tank top at him. This was Sylvia's answer.
西尔维娅的背心也砸在了他的脸上，这就是西尔维娅的回答。
"If you keep being like this I will get mad," said Xia Lei.
“你再这样我就生气了。”夏雷说。
"So what if I made you mad? What will you do?" Sylvia's tone was provoking, "What can you do to me?"
“我就惹你生气了，你想怎么样？”西尔维娅的语气里充满了挑衅的意味，“你敢把我怎么样？”
Xia Lei walked toward her...
夏雷向她走了过去……
Half an hour later.
半个小时后。
"Sylvia, do it with me."
“西尔维娅，跟我干吧。”
"Ah? You want more?" Sylvia somehow became nervous as she looked at Xia Lei.
“啊？你还要啊？”西尔维娅莫紧张兮兮地看着夏雷。
Xia Lei patted her soft body, "I am not talking about that, I am talking about work. I am inviting you to come to my company. You can give your condition as you please."
夏雷一巴掌拍在她的柔软上，“我说的不是那种事情，我说的是工作。我邀请你来我的公司工作，条件你随便开。”
“I…” Sylvia hesitated.
“我……”西尔维娅犹豫了。
Xia Lei said, “It is okay, you do not need to give me a reply right now.”
夏雷说道：“没关系，现在不用答复我。”
“If I come to your company, what position will you give me?”
“我来你公司，你给我什么职位？”
"Of course it will be the engineer and technical director. At the Rheinmetall AG, you were only the boss of a precision workshop but here, you will receive a bigger stage," said Xia Lei. "I am planning on creating an engine project to provide engine for the soon to come tank and war chariots. The engine for the tanks and war chariots that we currently buy from the China Industrial Group are subjected to the people and cannot reach my requirements. I want to make tanks, I want to make the world's best tank and the engine is very crucial. I want to make them myself."
“当然是首席工程师和技术总监。你在莱茵金属公司只是一个精密车间的头，但在这里你能获得更大的舞台。”夏雷说道：“我打算建造一个引擎项目，为即将生产的坦克和战车提供引擎。我们现在从神州工业集团购买坦克和战车的引擎，受制于人不说还达不到我的要求。我要造坦克，我就要造这个世界上最好的坦克，引擎是非常关键的。我想自己造。”
"I am not good with engines."
“我不擅长引擎。”
"Annina is. You are good with mechanical processing, she has done some research on engines. You would make a strong team you work together. On the other hand, isn't there still me? If the three of us combine, we will definitely be able to create the world's most advanced engine." Said Xia Lei.
“阿妮娜擅长，你擅长机械加工，她对发动机有一定的研究。你们联手将是一个强强的组合，另外，不是还有我吗？我们三个人在一起，我们一定能造出这个世界上最先进的引擎。”夏雷说。
"I…" Sylvia's heart was moved, but she felt incompetent as she thought of her current plight. She still shouldered the serious allegations of treason. She was still trying to break away from this charge. With this problem still not gone, how could she come to China to work for Xia Lei?
“我……”西尔维娅心动了，可是想到她目前的处境却又让她生出了一种无力感。她的身上还背负着叛国罪的严重指控，她现在都还在努力摆脱这个指控。这个麻烦都没有消除，她怎么能来华国为夏雷工作？
Xia Lei smiled, "I know that you have trouble but I can solve them for you."
夏雷笑了笑，“我知道你的身上有麻烦，不过我能帮你解决。”
"You can solve them for me?"
“你能帮我解决？”
"After I solve your trouble for you, will you come to my company?"
“我帮你解决了麻烦之后，你来我这里吗？”
"If you can solve my trouble then I will work for you. However, if Annina comes, you will be together with her, will you forget about me?"
“如果你能帮我解决我身上的麻烦，我就来你为你工作。不过，阿妮娜过来的话，你和她在一起，你会忘了我吗？”
"In my heart, you two are the same. How would I forget you?" Xia Lei's opened his arms wide and drew a shape, "I will buy a big big bed. Do you like it?"
“在我的心里，你和她是一样的。我怎么会忘了你？”夏雷的双手大大张开，比出一个形状，“我去买一张很大很大的床，喜欢吗？”
Sylvia was stunned for a second. Then, she said with her face flushed red, "Pervert!"
西尔维娅愣了一下，忽然脸红红地啐了一口，“下流！”
Xia Lei was speechless.
夏雷，“……”
