Chapter 1416 - 1416: The Expert Team Arrives

In the evening, Wei Jianhua's call came in.

Xiao Feng answered the phone and said, "Brother Wei, got news so soon?"

"I did my best and have already invited two expert teams as per Brother Xiao's instructions.

A total of sixteen people are taking the high-speed train tonight.

Approximately two hours later, they should arrive in Jiangcheng, and Brother Xiao, you'll need to send someone to pick them up."

Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised at Wei Jianhua's efficiency, to such an extent?

But thinking about it, he held the key to Wei Jianhua's happiness for the rest of his life; anything he entrusted to him would, without a doubt, be done wholeheartedly.

After expressing his gratitude and noting down the phone number Wei Jianhua provided, Xiao Feng hung up.

It must be said, this call alleviated the urgency of the situation.

Xiao Feng glanced at the calendar; there are still six days left until the Spring Festival, and five days until New Year's Eve.

Whether Rupert's Bulletproof Vest can be produced in five days is a big unknown.

However, right now the only option is to spare no effort, do everything that can be done, and avoid regrets afterwards.

Two hours later, Xiao Feng, along with Zhao Guo'an and Xue Nuofu, took a bus to Jiangcheng High-Speed Train Station.

At the moment, Zhao Guo'an was still somewhat upset due to Xiao Feng crashing his car.

"Old Xiao, I really don't understand, you had an accident driving, how did you manage to have an accident while in a bus too?" Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but complain.

Xiao Feng retorted somewhat sullenly, "I wasn't the one driving, besides you have a car now, when it's repaired, I'll bring it back to you alright?"

"You better not, I dare not lend my car to you anymore in the future!"

Arguing back and forth, they soon arrived at Jiangcheng High-Speed Train Station.

Xiao Feng called the contact number provided by Wei Jianhua.

The voice of the person answering sounded rather familiar.

After exchanging a few words, Xiao Feng realized it was Wei Jianhua's bodyguard and housekeeper, Cold-Faced Swift Blade King.

Not long after the call hung up, Fast Blade King led a dozen or so experts, pulling their suitcases, into view.

Xiao Feng shook hands with each of them, some were men, others women, the young ones were around thirty, while the older ones appeared to be in their fifties or sixties.

"If you need any equipment, please provide a list, I'll arrange for someone to prepare them," Xiao Feng said politely.

Fast Blade King replied, "No need to prepare, my young master hired two cars, the equipment will be delivered to Xiao Boss's doorstep by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Additionally, the expenses are also covered by my young master."

"That's not appropriate..."

"There's nothing inappropriate, truth be told, my young master has mentioned more than once about finding an opportunity to express his gratitude, hoping you will help him fulfill that wish!"

"Well..." Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Alright! Since it's come to this, it would be hypocritical to continue to decline.

In that case, when you go back, please bring something for your young master on my behalf."

Fast Blade King didn't ask what the item was, but invited the experts to follow Xiao Feng onto the bus together.

On the bus, the experts sat with their eyes closed, not speaking much, while Xiao Feng engaged in chitchat with Fast Blade King.

It was clear that Fast Blade King had received instructions.

However, he was indeed not suited to say these things, not that it wasn't right,

but when it came out of Fast Blade King's mouth, combined with his somewhat expressionless face and unnatural tone, it felt a bit off.

Nonetheless, Xiao Feng had no intention of dwelling on these details.

Regarding this matter, Wei Jianhua indeed did a fantastic job!

He initially thought it would take a day or two, but calling in the morning and finding people by evening, even covering the expert group's fees.

This made Xiao Feng feel that it was time for Wei Jianhua to visit Jiangcheng.

After all, having received such good favors, it's only fair to return them.

Once the bus reached Jinyue Garden, Xiao Feng obtained five Original Heart Pills from Sun Shijie, packed them in a small wooden box, and handed them over to Fast Blade King.

"When you give this to Brother Wei, tell him it's nearly all my stock, might be hard to get more in the short term, so he should use it sparingly."

"Got it!" Fast Blade King agreed, carefully storing the wooden box.

Before coming to Jiangcheng, Wei Jianhua had specifically instructed him.

If Xiao Feng asked him to bring anything back, he must protect it very carefully!

With two consecutive "musts," Fast Blade King immediately understood the seriousness of the issue, keeping it close at all times.

"I've already bought my return ticket, Xiao Boss doesn't need to arrange a car for me, I can take a taxi myself." Fast Blade King waved his hand, leaving with flair.

In fact, there were nearly three hours until the return train's departure.

The reason Fast Blade King was so anxious to leave was his nostalgia for the dumplings from the small shop near the train station.

Since trying them last time, he hadn't been able to forget the taste.

Visiting Jiangcheng now, he definitely wanted another bowl.

After sending Fast Blade King off, Xiao Feng led the expert group to Xue Nuofu's villa, a room was specifically cleared on the first floor, and another on the second.

Perfectly, one room per team, with bunk beds.

"First, put your luggage in the rooms and then gather downstairs, I'll brief everyone on the situation," Xiao Feng said casually.

The sixteen nodded, eight entered the ground floor room, while eight, led by Aspergillus oryzae, went upstairs.

Old Ha ran around fetching water, preparing fruit platters.

Soon, the sixteen gathered on the first floor.

Xiao Feng signaled everyone to sit and asked, "Everyone familiar with Rupert's Tear?"

"Rupert's Tear?"

The sixteen exchanged glances and then nodded uniformly.

A middle-aged man with glasses and cropped hair, his hair peppered black and white, spoke up, "When glass is melted and naturally falls into ice water, it forms a tadpole-shaped glass strip.

Its thicker head is extremely durable, while the thinner tail is very fragile."

Someone else asked, "Why's Mr. Xiao asking about this, are we supposed to research something related to Rupert's Tear?"

"Precisely!" Xiao Feng nodded in acknowledgment, saying, "Let me briefly explain my idea; I want to use Rupert's Tear to create a wearable protective suit, even a helmet that can be worn on the face."

Upon hearing this, the living room fell silent.

Many experts showed shocked expressions, seemingly startled by Xiao Feng's idea.

After a while, an elderly expert with sparse hair spoke up, "I've heard of similar ideas before.

But this concept has difficulties both in terms of cost and technical aspects.

Pardon my bluntness, researching it could take quite a bit of time."

"That's precisely why I gathered you all here," Xiao Feng said sternly, "Plus, I need the concept realized quickly, even if it costs a bit more, it doesn't matter!"
