Chapter 499: Modified Lamborghini
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_
With the training of the Ghost Agents completed, the Xin national security department finally became a functional force. While training, Ayesha carefully documented each agent’s talent and personality before providing a detailed summary. People with strong organizational abilities were promoted to a management role, people with strong intelligence were sent to counterintelligence or personal security roles and people with strong executive abilities went abroad for intelligence collection…
The 110 agents formed a massive net that covered every corner of Xin and expanded its tentacle-like reach to the outside world. They were just like 110 pairs of eyes that monitored the comings and goings of every corner of Xin.
…
When they returned to Coro Island from the training island, it was almost 11. Ayesha dropped off her luggage in the living room before she ran to the kitchen. Water began to run. By the sound of it, Jiang Chen knew she was cleaning the dusty kitchenware.
Since Ayesha left, Jiang Chen hadn’t cooked at home. He either went out to eat or traveled to the apocalypse. Hence the kitchen was completely deserted.
Moments later, the fan was turned on before he heard the sound of vegetables being chopped. Jiang Chen watched the figure moving back and forth behind the frosted glass before a genuine smile appeared on his face.
[How should I describe the feeling?]
[Absence makes the heart grow fonder?]
Although Ayesha always seemed like a newlywed wife.
After not having Ayesha’s cooking for so long, when he ate her delicious food again, Jiang Chen almost ate his tongue.
Ayesha’s cooking style was completely different from Yao Yao’s. Due to the cold of the apocalypse, Yao Yao favored stews and hotpots more. But Ayesha’s style was a fusion between the east and west. For example, she chopped pepped steak into strips to fry them with peppers. But regardless of her style, there was no doubt her food was delicious!
If it wasn’t for the fact that he injected the genetic vaccine with a digestive and had higher metabolism than typical people, he would be afraid he’d get a food-baby from eating so much food.
With her arms on the table while gazing at her love feasting on her cooked food, a joyful smile appeared on Ayesha’s face.
“Aren’t you hungry?” Jiang Chen noticed Ayesha hadn’t even touched her chopsticks yet as he asked curiously.
Ayesha blinked her blue eyes.
“Mhmm… I feel like I haven’t seen you for a while. I want to look at you more.”
After lunch, Jiang Chen helped Ayesha clean up the dishes and stuffed them into the dishwasher. He also put the clothes from yesterday into the washer and they picked up cleaning equipment to completely clean the mansion covered in dust.
…
Although Ayesha insisted she would do it herself, Jiang Chen still picked up a broom to help. It would be too embarrassing if she cleaned the whole mansion herself while he didn’t do any chores.
Especially since there was much inexplicable fun to be had with chores when doing them with the person you loved.
When the housework was done, it would be time to clean the person.
Thus, Jiang Chen picked up Ayesha and carried the blushing woman into the washroom.
The shower ran for two hours straight before it finally stopped.
Jiang Chen relaxed the whole day.
…
The next morning, Jiang Chen planned to visit Zhang Yapin in the presidential palace. Yesterday afternoon, he already made an appointment and President Zhang Yapin specifically rescheduled a few meetings so he could meet him for the entire morning.
Jiang Chen took Ayesha to the garage and handed her the brand new car keys.
“Let’s get familiarized with our new car.”
Ayesha looked at the Lamborghini quite puzzled.
“Is it different from the previous one?”
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously.
“There are too many differences; you’ll see once you get in.”
Ayesha, with a skeptical look, put her hand on the front engine cover and gently tapped it. Instantly, her expression became surprised.
“The exterior of the car was completely replaced with super-plastic steel and repainted. The car windows were replaced with organic bulletproof glass that’s capable of blocking anti-armor sniper rifle.s Aside from the car being slightly heavier by a few kilograms, the defense of this Lamborghini is comparable to an armored vehicle.” Jiang Chen walked beside Ayesha as he explained the car to her.
“Is… is this the technology from that side?” Ayesha ran her hand along the surface and murmured.
“Yes. Aside from all that, there’s a button below the steering wheel that can launch heat sensor grenades from the spare exhaust. Targets can be locked onto from the screen.”
Although it was the technology from the apocalypse, it didn’t require too much expertise. They only built an exterior based on the specifications and added a grenade launcher. A lot of wealthy people before the war were keen to collect heavily-taxed diesel vehicles. So when Jiang Chen took out the odd-looking Lamborghini from the Sixth Street repair shop, they didn’t look surprised at all.
The entire modification process took only 500 credits, which was well worth the money. If it wasn’t for the fact that the trunk was in the front, thus creating a lack of space, Jang Chen would’ve installed two Python rocket launchers on it.
Just as Natasha reminded him, since he was in a position of power, it was better for him to be cautious about his own safety. Jiang Chen wouldn’t permit anything that happened on Coro Island to happen again.
Ayesha sat in the highly modified Lamborghini and tested the handling with a spin outside the garage then she stopped the car right in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen leaned on the passenger seat, put on his seat belt, and Ayesha started the car again.
From Jiang Chen’s experience as a passenger, aside from the vehicle being more stable compared to before, there was nothing else too different.
They arrived at the garage of the presidential palace. With the guidance of the employees, Jiang Chen stepped into Zhang Yapin’s office.
Zhang Yapin stood up when he saw Jiang Chen to greet him.
“What do you want to drink?
“Thank you, coffee is fine.” Jiang Chen smiled and sat across from Zhang Yapin.
The honor of the president personally making coffee for him was something only he could enjoy. But it wasn’t without reason since Jiang Chen’s Future Group and Celestial Trade directly provided 10000 job to Xin and indirectly facilitated at least 40000 employment positions. While the large number of foreigners raised the cost of living in the short term, it also made the locals wealthy.
Just thinking about the prosperous industries at Ange Island and the tourism growing by the day on the other eight islands, the president just couldn’t stop smiling.
“How have you been?” Jiang Chen took a sip of his coffee.
“Busy but it feels pretty good. Because of Moro’s independence movement, Country F can no longer be self-sustaining. Australia plans to increase trade with us, but we still have a small disagreement regarding the tariffs. Their people and our people have been in nonstop debate for the past few days, but it’s under friendly terms.” With his fingers crossed on his knee, Zhang Yapin said pleasantly, “So, the question we are discussing today is…?”
Jiang Chen put down his coffee and said two words.
“Visiting Hua.”
“Visiting Hua?” Zhang Yapin raised his eyebrows. “But with the F civil war continuing to escalate, being too close to Hua could make UA suspicious.”
“Then we’ll visit them together.”
With December approaching, whether it was for the smooth launch of virtual reality helmets or the full expansion of Xin’s tourism industry, an official diplomatic visit was necessary. And as a representative of Xin’s corporations, Jiang Chen would be present.
