From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Your uncle booked a guesthouse for you in the outskirts of Beijing! Why did you end up bringing your fiancee back home? What are you even thinking about? Why does the Zhai family have such a stupid idiot???”

Zhai Yunsheng: “If you don’t have anything else that you want to say, I’m going to hang up the call.”

“No. Don’t you dare hang up the call. I haven’t scolded you enough! How can you hang up just like that?”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng placed his phone onto the side. He let his grandpa scold him.

His uncle booked a room for them. There was a bed in that room. A single king-sized bed.

And hence, his uncle’s intentions were very clear. He wanted them to stay in that room together for the night.

Naturally, Zhai Yunsheng did not comply with such arrangements. Therefore, he brought Jian Yiling back home.

And that was why Master Zhai called him to give him a tongue lashing.

The next afternoon, Jian Yiheng went to take a shower after exercising. As he was drying his hair with a towel, he received a call from his younger brother.

“Brother, please help us. Yiling and I were stopped by the ambassadors from Country M.”

Originally, Jian Yichen’s plan was to pick up Jian Yiling. Today, Jian Yiling went to a laboratory on the outskirts of Beijing. On the way home, he took Jian Yiling to a dessert store in the business district.

“What did they stop you guys for?” Jian Yiheng asked as a frown appeared on his face.

“The ambassador’s daughter took an interest in Yiling’s watch. She wanted to buy it from her. However, Yiling said no. Then, for some reason, the equipment on Yiling emitted an electric current. It shocked the ambassador’s daughter.”

Jian Yiling carried new types of equipment on her body. These types of equipment were not yet available on the market.

However, the ambassador’s daughter merely received a small shock that caused her body to become numb for a bit. She did not suffer any other injuries.

However, the ambassador from Country M did not let them leave on the grounds that they were carrying dangerous weapons.

As the other person was an ambassador from Country M, the matter could be big or small. If the matter became big, it could escalate to an international incident.

“Wait for me. I’ll come over right away. Try to manage the situation. Don’t let them touch Yiling again.”

After Jian Yiheng finished speaking to Jian Yichen, he immediately left his house to head over to the location of the incident.

On Jian Yichen’s side, several people from Country M were surrounding Jian Yichen and Jian Yiling. They did not allow them to leave.

Jian Yichen attempted to communicate with these people: “As I’ve explained previously, this is just a misunderstanding. We don’t have dangerous weapons on us. That thing was just defensive equipment with an electric current attached to it. It’s nothing dangerous.”

At this moment, the ambassador appeared. He appeared to be a middle-aged gentleman.

He had blue eyes, fair skin, and brown hair. His build was slightly chubby.

The ambassador said in a gentle tone to Jian Yichen and Jian Yiling: “Then please allow us to search your bodies. We want to be sure that you’re not carrying any dangerous weapons. Rest assured that we will let you go as long as we are sure that you’re not carrying anything dangerous on you.”

The ambassador spoke in fluent Chinese.

The battery used in the defensive equipment was a new type of battery that was not yet released on the market.

Therefore, Jian Yiling was not sure whether this battery could pass the tests used by existing types of equipment.

Furthermore, this technology could not be disclosed to the public for the time being. It could not be left in the hands of others. This was especially the case because the other person was an ambassador from Country M.

Therefore, Jian Yiling refused their request: “You guys have no evidence that we possess dangerous weapons. Therefore, you have no right to search us.”

Upon hearing this, the ambassador replied: “You’re making the situation very difficult for me if you refuse to cooperate like this.”
