Chapter 227: Chapter 150: For the Federation, I Don’t Mind Being the First to Rise Up

She raised her hand. In her palm rested a small Crystal Stone, glowing with a faint blue light.

"This is Crystal Marrow," Shu Yao said. "It’s made using Mystical Power."

Qin Shiwei humbly asked, "What is Mystical Power?"

Shu Yao explained, "It’s spiritual power. Actually, I prefer to call spiritual power Mystical Power."

Qin Shiwei mused, "Something like this appeared inside Ouchuang Technology’s new Mecha..."

’In other words, the Austin family is trying to apply mysterious science to their technology!’

He gazed at the Crystal Marrow lying quietly in Shu Yao’s palm, the dark green of his eyes growing deeper.

Ouchuang Technology belongs to the Austin family. Whenever they achieve a major breakthrough, they are always the first to publicize it, loudly trumpeting their own grand accomplishments.

Since they’ve also made progress in the field of mysterious science, why haven’t they let even a whisper of it out?

As he was pondering, Shu Yao’s voice rang out, "Don’t be fooled by its size. It’s incredibly powerful, and unstable. It’s safer with me."

At present, she hadn’t found any safe way to store the Crystal Marrow aside from her personal "space."

Hearing this, Qin Shiwei gave up the idea of taking the Crystal Marrow with him.

"Then I’ll leave it with you for now."

"Antoine is the lead architect of the main brain. He showed up in person that day, so he was most likely after this," Shu Yao advised, her voice taut with purpose. "I’ve only told you and First Generation about the Crystal Marrow. You should keep this under wraps for now and see how the Austin family reacts."

The Austin family created the Crystal Marrow without the knowledge of the Imperial Family. If the Imperial Family were to learn about it, the Austins would definitely have a reaction.

"They recovered the Mecha, but missed the Crystal Marrow. If I keep it secret, they will definitely deduce that you have it." Qin Shiwei was a little worried. "If this thing is really that important, they will definitely come after you again."

Shu Yao’s expression was clear and solemn. "The Austin family has held a monopoly on technology for years. If no one exposes their corruption and decay, new blood will never emerge in the Federation. For the Federation’s sake, I don’t mind being the first to rise up."

Qin Shiwei smiled indulgently. "You really sound like a noble and righteous revolutionary."

Shu Yao winked playfully. "I’m the wife of the Federation’s Commander-in-Chief now. My moral compass has to be pointing true."

"Such high ideals. You’ll get a reward tonight." The smile in his dark green eyes was both dangerous and alluring.

She had wanted to sneak in a little something extra, but she reined herself in when she caught his suggestive gaze.

The romantic atmosphere between the man and woman made it hard not to let one’s imagination run wild. You’d have to be blind not to believe something was going on between them.

The Commander-in-Chief’s and the investigation team’s Flying Machines took to the sky. Shu Chao Yu didn’t even spare them a glance, his gaze fixed gloomily on Shu Yao.

Shu Yao felt extremely uncomfortable. "What is it?" ’Don’t tell me Uncle has figured something out?!’

"Heh, as if the Commander-in-Chief would actually be interested in you!" Shu Chao Yu laughed with a hint of contempt, then his expression turned to one of relief, his eyes relaxing. "Starting tomorrow, you can look after the kid yourself. I’m a very busy man!"

"Oh, right," said Shu Yao. "I hired a tutor for Xiao Juzi. She’s my assistant’s aunt—the wife of the Vice District Chief of Zone 2."

Shu Chao Yu’s eyes went wide. "You hired Vice District Chief Luo’s wife to come to our house and tutor Xiao Juzi!?"

He seemed both flattered and shocked.

"So, you’ll need to be more mindful of your appearance at home from now on. The weather’s getting hot, so don’t just wander around in a pair of baggy shorts." As she spoke, Shu Yao glanced at his abdomen.

Shu Chao Yu was deeply wounded by the disdain in her gaze.

"What’s wrong with me! I’m in great shape! Eight-pack abs!" He lifted his shirt to show off his fine physique. "Your husband, Ah Bao, that desk jockey—he doesn’t have these, does he!"

"He has everything you have. And he has things you don’t." Shu Yao waved goodbye to First Generation and headed for the Shu Family home, where she saw Song Xiaoxing and Ke Dancheng in a debate.

Song Xiaoxing looked animated, while Ke Dancheng wore a wooden expression.

"So you’re Assistant Dan! My apologies! Thank you so much for last night! And Mrs. Bao, too!"

Song Xiaoxing tried to add Ke Dancheng as a contact, only to be told they were already connected from the day before. He had to be shown twice before he would finally accept that Ke Dancheng was, in fact, Assistant Dan.

Ke Dancheng said, "Thank you for bringing us here today, too."

Song Xiaoxing didn’t seem to realize that Shu Yao, who was with Ke Dancheng, was the very same Mrs. Bao.

"Oh, you’re still here?" Shu Yao said, handing the task of seeing their guest out to Shu Chao Yu. "Uncle, Brother Chu got us a special channel. We didn’t finalize the entry procedures then, so his Flying Machine might have some trouble on the way back. Can you help me by seeing him off?"

Shu Chao Yu: "No problem."

Song Xiaoxing was reluctant to leave, but he understood the dismissal in her words.

Before leaving, he reminded Shu Yao several times to remember their promise.

He also really wanted to get his hands on a Flying Machine as awesome as "Little Bee"!
