things should have belonged to you originally."Me What does Senior Sister Zhen mean by that"Ripples asked in surprise."You are my niece, the daughter of my sister Wang Yinyin, and the rightful heir t..."You sneaky little thing, as soon as the communication was restored you sent me the mech's data!"

Du Zi Feng praised Lian Yi.

"Of course, I'm the most loyal test user of my uncle! I'll definitely deliver the data as soon as possible."

As the two walked and talked, they boarded a hovering vehicle on the side and returned to the Du Mansion.

Apart from Du Hongying who had returned to the team, all the members of the Du family were present. The old madam was unaware that her grandson had encountered such danger during the practical activity. She had prepared a table full of delicious food and kept saying that Lian Yi had become thinner and urged him to eat more.

After finishing the dinner party, little Du Hongshen (shen) kept pestering Lianyi to play for a while before being taken away. Afterwards, Lianyi went to the study with her great-grandfather and gave a detailed account of the entire process of the mecha practice.

"This matter is rather serious, the school is investigating, and our military is also investigating. You've done well so far, leave the rest to us. Don't speak of this matter to anyone else, not even if Wu Yishan asks."

R ripples nodded in understanding, and then specially mentioned Wu Yishan's other intelligent number:

On his way back, he once contacted me through this Mind-link. My uncle should know that I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, so I wasn't on guard against him using another Mind-link to reach me, and I answered.

"And he knew we were attacked by pirates, and his questions all revolved around that pirate gang called Skull Ghosts. I found it strange, so I pretended to be clueless and then made an excuse to end the video call."

As she spoke, Lian Yi passed the unfamiliar AI code to Du Zixian.

"I've taken note of what you said. We'll handle this. Just pretend nothing happened and continue your class."

The ripples nodded obediently.

After leaving the study, Du Zifeng took away the fourth-generation mecha, claiming to help her make further adjustments. Then he hurried back to the research institute like his butt was on fire.

Next, the ripples returned to her normal life, continuing her studies, cultivation, and spending time with her family. Unfortunately, soon after, a video of her manipulating Lei Xi in battle against space pirates was leaked, instantly pushing him into the spotlight.

The netizens are looking for the operator of the purple mecha, as well as someone familiar with that sword, believing him to be the successor of Lei Zu. They are searching everywhere, but luckily the Du family is very powerful and has blocked all these inquiries.

When the ripples looked something amiss, she contacted Du Zi Feng and asked him to hold off on bringing Lei Xi back. She still had a third-generation mecha as a backup, so it wouldn't affect her studies.

Students in Class A naturally knew who was piloting the purple mecha. The whole school was buzzing with discussion about it, wondering who leaked the information. After all, only they and the stationed mecha warriors were present at the scene. The warriors had a stronger sense of secrecy than them and wouldn't spread such things.

But the last to arrive, David, blushed and walked toward Ripple, bowing his head in apology:

"Long March, I'm so sorry! The video came from me. My mech recorded the battle at the time, especially the final blow, which I thought was amazing, so I kept it."

"As a result, my brother borrowed my smart brain to look up information. After seeing it, he sent it to himself, and then he also put the video in his own public space. After being seen by others, it spread."

Your brother doesn't know who the mech pilot is, does he

"I don't know! When he asked me, I felt something was wrong, so I beat him up and made him delete the video. It was too late though."

David said he was sorry.

"It's fine, I only used that mech during practice. I used my original mech at school and when I came back. Even if they want to investigate, they won't find anything immediately. Don't worry about it."

The ripples waved their hand to show they didn't care.

Although it is unclear who controls the online alias, several old generals like the Zhou family and Wang family are aware of Lian Yi's existence. This is mainly because the Lei Yao Sword exposed his identity. Everyone knows that this sword was in General Du's possession, and not long ago, he gifted it to his grandson.

But everyone understood implicitly. Since the real person involved hadn't come out to acknowledge it, they didn't want to get involved in the young people's affairs. Sure enough, after a period of online frenzy, the number of followers decreased. At this time, she was summoned by the military department.

At the entrance of the military headquarters office, Lian Ri met Du Zi Feng. The moment they saw each other, they chatted briefly and roughly guessed the reason for their meeting, which was nothing more than the issue of the fourth-generation mecha.

"It's okay, just go in and I'll handle their questions. You just need to nod or shake your head, don't talk much. Remember, you're a minor, they can't detain and interrogate you without reason. Stand tall, don't be afraid!"

Ripple smiled mischievously, showing that she wasn't afraid at all.

As expected, once they went inside, the officials from the Military Affairs Department began interrogating the two of them. Ripple adhered to the principle of "valuing words like gold," while Du Zifeng took on all the questions, leaving the Military Affairs Department officials frustrated and angry.

"Master Du, can this mecha be mass-produced"

There are some difficulties, not everyone has the mental fortitude of a Lian Yi, and it might backfire.

What if mecha were produced based on the degree of mental power adaptation For example, mechas controlled by S-rank mental power, and so on.

"I'm also researching in that direction, but it also requires physical strength. Not everyone is like Lian Yi, who reached the ninth level of ancient martial arts before reaching adulthood!"

Du Zifeng said with a hint of pride.

"

Minister of Defence: Can we talk properly I know your nephew is good, but you don't have to praise him in every sentence!

"Cough" Lian Yi lightly coughed, and only then did Du Zi Feng restrain himself a little.

After the meeting ended, Ripple politely bid farewell to the military official, which once again earned her a round of praise.

The next day, Du Zifeng personally delivered the second-adjusted fourth-generation mecha Lei Xi to Lianyi.

“Because the battle allowed for comprehensive data collection, I made some adjustments to Lei Xi. It should feel more comfortable to use now. This mech is completely yours!”

Thank you, uncle!

Ripple didn't hesitate and happily accepted Lei Xi's gift.

Half a month later, Lanxing broke news of an explosive nature. The commander of the Fifth Army, Wu Yishan, was removed from his post. Due to being implicated in murder and leaking imperial secrets among other charges, he would be tried by a military court. This was the first time in Lanxing's history that a general had been sent to a military tribunal.

Wu Lianbo panicked immediately. This was his biggest support, he first contacted his mother Xue Wenjing, the other party was also very flustered, but still instructed:

"Don't run around, I'll go to Wu's house to find you now."

Xue Wenjing arrived at General Wu's mansion an hour later, along with personnel from the Military Law Department. They presented a document demanding that both individuals vacate the premises within three days, as the mansion would be temporarily closed pending the conclusion of the investigation into Wu Yishan's case. After the investigation, a decision would be made on whether to reclaim or return the property.

Suddenly, both Xue Wenjing and Wu Lianbo's faces turned dark, but they couldn't resist the might of the powerful. Under the soldiers' watchful eyes, they could only hastily pack a few belongings and leave the General's Mansion.

"Mom, what do we do now"

"What else can we do Just wait!"

Xue Wenjing was so angry she could have died, but she still dragged her son back to her own home.

After returning home, Lian Ri went straight to the study to find her grandfather. She wanted to know what Wu Yishan had done.n a provincial city, there was really nothing else they could boast about.The ripples were very satisfied with this effect, and after having a deep talk with her daughter, she safely married her daugh...
