Ren Baqian had just returned from attending Ren Wannian’s wedding.
From what his parents knew, Ren Baqian had been married for two years, but there was still no news about having a child. Fortunately, there was now one more person to share the burden with… Ren Wannian married a third-year university student after knowing her for a year…
Her family background was pretty good, and they owned a few assets in China.
It truly was a little bit, just tens of millions. They were considered rich in third world cities, but could only own about three apartments in first world cities…
Ren Baqian glanced at her. He felt that she wasn’t the most beautiful, but she had a good personality and was pretty gentle, similar to the gracefulness of a woman from Jiang Nan.
In fact, she was actually a long-legged girl from Northeast China.
All in all, he had a pretty good impression of her.
The wedding was held in Ren Baqian’s hometown. After the wedding, he immediately went to Wuji City.
He finally felt relieved now that the firepower had been moved.
At present, the empress was eight months pregnant, but there still was no visible bump in her belly. He began to wonder if her belly was the same as Doraemon’s pouch. No matter how much wine, meat, and calcium milk or how many babies there were inside…
However, her situation made Ren Baqian start to doubt whether she would be able to deliver the child according to a typical delivery period. As such, after much deliberation, he didn’t tell his parents that they were going to be grandparents soon.
…
“Your Highness, I’m going to star in a movie! A production team invited me!”
Ren Baqian gaped and turned to look at Ning Caichen, who was drinking coffee. She was wearing a plain skirt, a long shawl, light makeup, lipstick, and had her nails painted.
Compared to her previous seductive look, this outfit made others feel more aroused.
It actually wasn’t impossible for her to get invited to film a movie with this appearance.
“Will it affect the mission? After all, by being a public figure, your whereabouts will be easily exposed.” Ren Baqian frowned.
He didn’t care much about the movie industry.
However, Ning Caichen was extremely interested in showcasing herself and letting everyone see her beauty.
“Shall I put on some makeup to show you? Which celebrity do you want to see? My figure is much better than theirs! I can put on makeup to look like them!” She excitedly wanted to display her skills to Ren Baqian.
“Han Hong![1.Han Hong: Chinese singer and songwriter of mixed Tibetan and Han ethnicity]” he declared after some thought.
“You are making things difficult for me!” Ning Caichen was stunned and felt rather depressed.
Ren Baqian laughed. She had gotten more and more interesting as time passed.
“Rest assured, it will not interfere with the mission,” she replied.
He pondered a little, then decided not to meddle with her affairs and let her do what she liked.
“I heard that the entertainment circle is pretty messed up. You have to be cautious!”
“You probably forgot that I’m still a sword deity!” Ning Caichen smiled instantly.
“I haven’t seen any sword deity’s flying sword that acts secretive all the time and is also afraid of heights!” Ren Baqian revealed her weakness without holding back.
Sure enough, her mood crumbled again as she complained bitterly, “Who is to blame for this?”
He thought for a while and felt that he should stop this conversation.
The two sat down for some time before Ding Jie came in.
Ding Jie, who was currently 30 years old, looked quite mature. He gave Ren Baqian a big hug and said, “Boss, you still look so young!”
He then turned to Ning Caichen and said enthusiastically, “You are still so beautiful!”
Even though he knew that she was originally a man… However, Ren Baqian felt that he had the intention of hitting her up even though he knew that she was a man.
Ding Jie was a true warrior and more courageous than many people.
However, speaking of age…
Ren Baqian figured in his head that he wasn’t that much older than Ding Jie. That little kid from back then had now assumed personal responsibilities.
After some careful thought, he cursed to himself. He seemed to be even younger than Ren Wannian at present…
Ren Wannian was six years younger than Ren Baqian back then. 14 years had passed on Earth. From the year 2017 to 2031, Ren Baqian had aged by seven years, while Ren Wannian had aged by 14 years…
Ren Wannian was now a year older than Ren Baqian?
Would there be a possibility of Ren Wannian’s children being older than Ren Baqian in the future? Or the possibility of Ren Wannian’s grandchildren being older than Ren Baqian?
This was something that Ren Baqian shouldn’t think about since it grew more terrifying the more he thought about it…
“Boss, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so weird?! Do you want to try this? It’s good stuff!” Ding Jie opened a cigar box, took out an Edmundo cigar, lit it up with a lighter, and handed it to him.
“Let’s talk business.” He took a puff of it. Cigars were something that he would occasionally indulge in.
The main thing about smoking cigars was to savor the taste instead of inhaling the smoke into the lungs like smoking a cigarette. It was an indulgence for many, but a snack for Ren Baqian.
Ding Jie took out an electronic device and placed it on the table. Next, he sprayed a thick layer of mist, and a three-dimensional picture began to appear.
As he fiddled with the equipment, pictures started appearing in the mist. These pictures were of men and women with high eyebrows and deep eyes who were mostly in their forties and fifties.
Ren Baqian didn’t limit the target area to only China.
“It’s all here. They are researchers with relatively high standards, but haven’t received much recognition in recent years. There are a total of 237 of them, of which 87 specialize in physics, 42 in chemistry, and the others in mathematics, biology, medicine, botany, and zoology. Their addresses, hobbies, and details are all here.
I have already arranged the entry and exit routes. There have been many illegal immigrants in China lately, so checks have become very strict. We must pay attention to this,” Ding Jie warned.
“Oh? Many people sneaked into the nation?” Ren Baqian was slightly surprised.
“You probably don’t pay much attention to these things!” Ding Jie wasn’t surprised. He knew that the boss had a lot of secrets. He also knew that the boss always seemed to be isolated from society and knew little about the societal changes.
He made a brief summary for Ren Baqian and continued, “In the past two years, more and more people have immigrated into the nation. In addition to our old brothers, many more have come from the Western Union and the USA. Although we can also obtain some martial arts techniques from other countries, they are all common techniques. As for the techniques that require a certain status to obtain, like those available to personnel in the military, police, or the Armed Forces Command, they were gradually leaked less and less frequently.”
Ren Baqian nodded after hearing this and thought that these things happened for a reason.
Today, there were a total of eight supercomputers that analyzed martial arts techniques. It was said that there were more than 1,000 of them currently. (TLC. These two sentences contradict each other.)
Although many of them had some flaws, there were also quite a number of them that were stronger than ordinary ones. Some of them already exceeded the original ones.
The rate of progress when practicing these techniques varied across different people. Some might advance very slowly while practicing a certain technique, but improve rapidly when practicing another.
As such, the greater the number of techniques one possessed, the more attractive they were in acquiring talent.
The military and the Armed Forces Command were clearly among the best.
Ren Baqian understood it quickly and stopped paying it any attention. He turned to Ning Caichen and said, “Ding Jie’s men will cooperate with you. The names on the list are the targets, and all of their information is inside. You shall arrange the order of priority yourself.”
“This mission is guaranteed to succeed!” Ding Jie gave a military salute.
“Thank you for the hard work!” She looked at him and smiled.
“What do you mean? You should say that you are honored!” Din Jie was all smiles.
Ren Baqian shook his head and ignored them. He decided to let them be if they were both willing parties.
“Be careful! Since you have appeared by me a number of times, your identity might have already gotten blacklisted.”
Ning Caichen pursed her lips and smiled. When her fingers moved slightly, a long sword pierced through the window. It followed her gestures and danced in the air, reflecting chilling rays all over.
Ding Jie was amazed, and his smile grew even brighter.
