This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 240 - 135 Firework Master Visits

Having entered the laboratory, Li Ming took him on a tour of the various areas, as there were no secrets anyway.

Arriving at the large office on the second floor, Li Ming invited him to sit down before Feder said, "Two days ago, I went to offer my condolences for Fu Zongchen."

"Oh."

"To tell you the truth, I didn’t like him as a person, always currying favor with the powerful," Feder said solemnly, "When I came here, I had heard that there seemed to be some misunderstandings between him, Professor Wu, and you."

"Neither my father nor I want to let these misunderstandings extend further. My visit today is also to explain in person," he said sincerely, "The actions of Fu Zongchen were by no means instigated by my father."

Tch... Has Prince Bai Jiang changed his mind? Wants to win me over? Is there any sincerity?

Li Ming looked at Feder’s sincere face and felt there was little sincerity.

"What instigation or not," Li Ming immediately waved his hand, "I naturally believe His Highness the Prince."

At these words, Feder’s face turned solemn, "Ah, I know you have reservations, what you’re saying isn’t the truth... Actually..."

Just as Feder had reached the halfway point, a notification sound rang out in the room, someone had arrived, and a virtual screen popped up with a window.

Standing at the entrance of the laboratory downstairs was a person, Chen Yan.

What’s she here for? Li Ming wondered, while Feder’s expression became reserved.

Li Ming ordered the AI system to open the door, waited for a little while, and then Chen Yan pushed open the door of the office, glanced at Feder, seemingly a bit surprised.

However, Li Ming’s gaze became much more solemn as she pushed open the door of the office, "What are you doing here?"

"I’m here for an important matter," Chen Yan said hastily.

"What important matter?" Li Ming frowned.

"This..." Chen Yan glanced at Feder, hesitating to speak.

Feder’s eyes shifted—was this staged, did she want me to leave?

Well then, winning him over couldn’t be done in one day. Thinking this, he was about to speak when he heard Li Ming’s stern voice, frёewebηovel.cѳm

"What can’t you say? He is the son of Prince Bai Jiang, Baron Feder, my best friend. There’s nothing he can’t listen to."

Hmm? Feder was slightly stunned, his eyes suddenly deepening. What kind of play was this?

Was it performed for me, to gain my favor? Does he also want to shift his allegiance?

"Feder?" Chen Yan’s eyes changed, not fear, but an indescribable shock and joy.

"That’s right." Li Ming frowned, already standing up and walking over to Feder, drawing the wary gaze of the bodyguard.

"If you have a secret, speak up."

Chen Yan hesitated to look at the bodyguard. Feder did not want to contradict Li Ming’s face and decided to continue with the act, saying warmly, "This is my personal bodyguard, who has been with me since I was a child and is trustworthy."

"You dare to doubt His Highness Feder’s bodyguard?" Li Ming said sternly, and then looked guilty, "I apologize for the laughter, His Highness Feder. It is a failure of my management."

"I have offended His Highness Feder, how should I deal with it? You tell me."

"It’s not much of an offense." Feder shook his head.

"Since His Highness Feder does not pursue it, you are lucky," Li Ming waved his hand, pointing towards the sofa in the distance, "You go sit down over there first. I’m going to fetch something. If there’s anything, we can talk about it when I come back."

Chen Yan stood in place, a slight change in her demeanor.

This can’t be, what’s going on?

Feder hesitated, feeling a bit confused now, sensing that something was amiss.

He turned his head to look, only to find that Li Ming had already retreated behind his bodyguard.

At the same time, he heard a cold voice, "You actually discovered it."

The woman who came for some inexplicable reason was now expressionless, her gaze swept past Feder and landed on Li Ming, "When did you notice? My disguise is seamless."

What? Feder was flabbergasted. What was this about?

The bodyguard by his side stepped forward solemnly.

"His Highness Feder told me before the door was opened. He told me then," Li Ming retreated further away.

Me? Feder was even more baffled. When did I say that?

The next moment, he finally realized that the person in front of him was someone else disguised, and Li Ming was trying to pin the blame on him.

Feder said gravely, "Duke Bai Ye said that Jingnan Star has now become a sieve, and I didn’t quite believe it until now, it seems to be true."

"Who are you to dare to attempt to assassinate me?"

His status was noble, and he subconsciously assumed that he was the target, not Li Ming.

Boom!

A roaring sound came from behind, and as Feder looked sideways, his face involuntarily twitched, seeing Li Ming had already backed up to the wall, punching the metal wall, apparently preparing to escape.

A punch mark had been left on the alloy wall.

"How can this be, this wall, it actually held against my punch." Li Ming appeared surprised, looking at his fist and then back at the wall before him.

There was faintly a barely visible film covering it.

Chen Yan was also frowning, uncertain, "You were actually able to leave a mark on my water screen."

Feder felt he was being ignored and couldn’t help but snort inwardly in disdain. Was this really surprising?

Li Ming was only a D-grade Life Form. If the alloy material were slightly harder, it would undoubtedly be difficult to tear through easily.

Seeing this, he relaxed a lot, the woman’s strength probably wasn’t that great.

"Your Highness, be careful." The bodyguard’s gaze remained on Chen Yan, pushing Feder slightly backwards, not moving to act immediately.

His mission was to ensure Feder’s safety. This place was too narrow, and the fallout from a fight could cause secondary harm. And he didn’t want to let Feder leave alone in case there were more people outside, which would only complicate matters further.

Looking for an opportunity to escape with Feder was the best plan.

"I don’t know who you are, but if you leave now, we can pretend you were never here," the bodyguard said solemnly.
