Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 607 - 563: Something Fishy

However, a hint of panic flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, which did not escape Elder Master Mu's notice.

Under the elder's piercing gaze, such a small movement was naturally impossible to conceal.

The elder's lips curled slightly with amusement, thinking to himself that this kid was indeed tinkering with some big project.

And judging by the kid's nervous demeanor, it must be something important.

Hehe, young people are young people, no matter how seasoned they are, they still lack depth.

While thinking this, the elder's expression turned slightly serious as he gazed at Lin Yi, giving a somewhat displeased chuckle.

Aside from that chuckle, there was no further comment.

His gaze merely remained fixed on Lin Yi, smiling without saying a word.

On the contrary, Lin Yi, under the elder's gaze, grew increasingly uneasy, not knowing what the elder wanted to convey.

All things considered, the elder's current status and position, coupled with the expression he wore, clearly indicated that he was dissatisfied with Lin Yi's answer.

And seeing Lin Yi's expression, the elder felt even more pleased.

This brat, if possible, he would love to take him under his wing and properly train him; surely he would have a limitless future.

But this brat had no interest in this path, nor any intention to follow in his footsteps; instead, he's focused solely on establishing his nuclear corporation.

Nonetheless, the elder wasn't discontent with this, as everyone has their own aspirations and ideals.

Moreover, the nuclear corporation wasn't an ordinary enterprise.

Thinking it over, if Lin Yi could indeed continue developing the nuclear corporation, it would be more advantageous for Huaxia and its descendants than following his footsteps.

What he needed to do was protect this brat, steering him away from the wrong path and ensuring he didn't take detours.

Indeed, the elder thought of himself as Lin Yi's greatest supporter, shielding him from storms so that he could focus on research and creation.

"Uh, sir, you've really made me confused here, I..."

Despite feeling panic, Lin Yi decided to remain still and not react.

As long as the other party didn't mention the spaceship directly, he wouldn't acknowledge it.

But before he could finish speaking, a graceful figure walked in from the doorway, carrying a tray with a teapot and several cups, placing them on the mahogany table in front of him.

Then interrupted him:

"Hehe, what are you two talking about? Seems like you're having an enjoyable chat."

Seeing this graceful figure, Lin Yi couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, feeling Mu Yunrou was incredibly lovable at this moment.

She was like Bodhisattva Guanyin, the merciful savior.

Knowing his awkward predicament, she came in to defuse the tension, finally giving him some relief.

Moreover, as Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Yunrou picked up the purple clay pot, glancing at the elder momentarily with a pair of beautiful eyes that cast him a warning look.

It was clear there was a hint of a warning.

However, her body blocked Lin Yi's view, so he didn't notice, but the elder saw and could only shake his head helplessly with a bitter smile.

Clearly, his granddaughter had overheard something, this stubborn girl who always took others' sides over her grandfather's.

Ah, well, he couldn't help but love this precious granddaughter.

Although Mu Yunrou was just a young woman and not within the system, no one in the Mu Family could match Elder Mu's affection for her.

One could say, if anyone in the Mu Family dared to tug at the elder's beard without angering him, it would be Mu Yunrou without a doubt.

Of course, this was merely a metaphor, and in reality, Mu Yunrou wouldn't do such a thing, seeing as she was a true lady, whose behavior and temperament were beyond reproach.

Now, seeing his granddaughter's warning glance, the elder decided to abandon his little schemes.

His gaze toward Lin Yi returned to its previous amicable state, and he chuckled:

"Hehe, young Lin, you're in luck. It's quite rare for me to enjoy tea brewed by this girl. I must say, today I'm benefiting from being with you."

Mu Yunrou poured Lin Yi a cup of tea while listening to her grandfather's words, her pretty face slightly flushed.

But she didn't say anything, pouring herself a cup and quietly sitting to the side, picking up the teacup and listening to their conversation.

"You haven't answered my question from earlier yet. What exactly are you tinkering with in the warehouse?

I heard you've been filling it recently with a lot of forbidden items. Is there nothing you'd like to share about that?"

The elder touched the tea cup with one hand, gently rotated it, and sniffed it carefully before looking at Lin Yi, smiling as he spoke.

Clearly, with Mu Yunrou present, the elder didn't continue trying to trick Lin Yi, but directly revealed what he knew and told Lin Yi he was unaware of what he was actually doing.

It's simply that Lin Yi's recent procurement activities were too frequent and complex, catching the attention of relevant departments, and he got wind of it.

The reason he directly asked about it today was purely out of curiosity.

It wasn't intended to do anything against Lin Yi, and mostly because without his intervention, Lin Yi might not have been able to procure those items as smoothly.

At this point, some might wonder.

Weren't those items procured through standard channels? Why are there forbidden items?

Hehe, don't be naive. Many high-performance instruments and equipment aren't accessible to just anyone.

Furthermore, Lin Yi doesn't know, but many of the instruments he procured, like that super advanced atmospheric production device, are explicitly prohibited items.

Of course, he was just unaware of it.

Now, hearing the elder's questioning, Lin Yi takes a long deep breath of relief.

He then looks gratefully at Mu Yunrou beside him.
