Chapter 684 - 209: Pregnant?
Admiral Lu indeed possesses capabilities. After marrying this wife, he rose swiftly and finally secured his position as Admiral.Being secure in his position doesn’t mean he doesn’t need his wife’s support; this wife has tactics and schemes and can suppress the Lu Family members.
But everyone has a weakness. She dislikes Admiral Lu’s third wife and, in extension, her stepson.
A year ago, Admiral Lu insisted on keeping his stepson by his side and helped him quickly achieve merits and promotions, which angered his current wife.
Don’t mistake a lion for a kitten when it doesn’t roar, because she will take revenge silently.
Secretly, Mrs. Lu stopped managing the Lu Family members, resulting in them becoming reckless with what little achievements they had.
Dared to ask Su Xiaocai for a painting for charity.
The intelligence stops at what glory Admiral Lu’s son earned and what position he was promoted to.
Su Xiaocai searched through some activities and actions of Admiral Lu’s current wife.
Speculating on the subsequent developments, Admiral Lu’s wife of over thirty years may be about to divorce him.
Admiral Bai expressing disinterest in involvement in the party might imply this too.
Without Mrs. Lu suppressing the Lu Family members, the section of the Yi Family organizing the party won’t likely make it as grand as usual.
Admiral Lu is quite amusing; if he leaves this wife, he’ll fall into the whirlpool of troubles constantly created by his family. Can someone who cannot manage his own family be trusted as Admiral?
He had no concerns, thus the military dared to give him the Admiral position.
Divorce is akin to pulling oneself down; does he realize this?
And Admiral Bai, not only giving Admiral Lu face, maybe also taking a stroll to strengthen his presence.
Admiral Bai is the best candidate for Admiral; the others are merely fallback options.
Of course, delaying their divorce progress is good too.
If the Bai Family doesn’t wish to become too prominent, for Admiral Bai to advance, Admiral Bai will surely retreat.
Su Xiaocai chuckled; sitting at the Admiral position, seeing others’ situations clearly while being blind to his own is a kind of sorrow.
History has witnessed Admirals being demoted to Vice Admiral, then further to Major General, repeatedly, and this is not the first case.
Why Zhang Jial stepped down is worth investigating, Su Xiaocai thought, as Xiao Wanzi reminded her that the film invested in by Extraordinary Island would premiere before Harvest Festival, asking if she wanted to reserve tickets.
In the New World, movie tickets are not expensive, at ten dollars a show.
"Reserve one," Su Xiaocai didn’t intend to support the movie; she just wanted to see the acting skills of the two actresses, to decide if continued investment was worthwhile.
"Not watching with Doctor Ji?" Xiao Wanzi was perplexed.
"Since when did you become an expert in relationships, little manager? Don’t mind us." Romantic matters can wait.
Su Xiaocai patted Xiao Wanzi, "I want sauerkraut fish and beef rice noodles for dinner tonight."
Xiao Wanzi obeyed and hopped off to prepare meals.
In the basement, Su Xiaocai created weapon model parts, ensuring strict control of the weapon’s quality, where every module could be reassembled after destruction.
This kind of project is undoubtedly massive; drawing a diagram doesn’t equate to producing it. Often, it requires repeated deliberation. New weapons are a significant challenge for her.
Su Xiaocai focused on her work, meticulously measuring the precision of the newly created parts.
When she came back to her senses, Xiao Wanzi had finished cooking, and Ji Li had sent her a message saying he had some new discoveries.
"Come over, Xiao Wanzi just finished cooking."
Within two minutes of sending the message, Ji Li arrived; he was on his way before sending the message.
Knowing Su Xiaocai wouldn’t refuse his arrival.
He handed Su Xiaocai a finished product.
This finished product was initially made by Su Xiaocai and Ji Li, referencing many people’s papers and literature, scrutinized, and crafted through months of experimentation.
Insect Men easily evolve and mutate, completely transforming from one form to another, indicating their "genes" are unstable.
Data shows that between Insect Men, they can be considered as two of the same species, except the basic underlying "gene" causes them to have similar habits.
Somewhat like the intelligence series artificial intelligences, where there is an underlying logic, but the specific functions differentiate, forming different personalities and abilities.
Therefore, based on Su Xiaocai’s experimental plan, Ji Li hypothesized if the Insect Men’s "genes" collapse and rebuild continuously, stabilizing the "genes," could easily kill them.
There was no effective medication to repair human genes previously, but now there is.
