Chapter 70: The Laughing Stock of Jingcheng

At this moment, Li Lixue’s face was as pale as a sheet, hugging her knees rather pitifully, sitting on the carpet, her eyes filled with tears as she stared at Nie Zhenbang.

A beautiful woman, an extraordinarily beautiful woman, presented herself only to be rejected. For a moment, Li Lixue seemed to have spiraled into self-recrimination.

Nie Zhenbang also had his own bitter understanding of the situation. Born as an illegitimate child, the thing he detested most in life related precisely to this. He himself was an illegitimate child. Moreover, in the previous life, Nie Zhenbang had lived through a tragic period.

In his heart, he was utterly repulsed by this aspect. This was the fundamental reason why Nie Zhenbang had always been quite indifferent to romantic affairs.

At this time, knowing very well that he couldn’t provide a satisfactory explanation to Li Lixue, Nie Zhenbang was loathed to think that in the future, her child would have to follow the same path he had.

But this was something he was unable to say to Li Lixue. A wry smile appeared on Nie Zhenbang’s face. Then he said, “Lixue, I’m sorry. It’s not your fault. Moreover, I, Nie Zhenbang, have never belittled you, not in the past, not now, not in the future. This is my own issue, and I hope you won’t ask what it is—can you do that?”

At this moment, with Nie Zhenbang’s consolation, Li Lixue’s emotions considerably stabilized. Then, with a boldness previously unseen, she suddenly stood up, rushed over and held Nie Zhenbang tightly, “Zhenbang, don’t say anymore. Whatever the reason… I trust you. Just as my brother said, my life is yours. Whenever, whatever era, I will always wait for you. Even if you end up in hell, I’ll accompany you.”

All night, Nie Zhenbang remained by Li Lixue’s side. The two of them, a lonely man and a solitary woman, slept in the same bed. That night, what Nie Zhenbang felt was merely warmth and emotion. It was disconnected from physical needs. Even if by the standards of the next world, Nie Zhenbang was once less moral than a beast. But sometimes, it is this simple—everything is unrelated to sex.

Pure love or gay literature, whatever it may be, at this moment, Nie Zhenbang was truly pure, enacting a utopian kind of love. But Nie Zhenbang was very clear, at least, until he could find a reasonable and appropriate solution, he would absolutely not touch a woman. This had nothing to do with others and with the body, but it was a deep-seated shadow in Nie Zhenbang’s heart.

The next morning,

Li Lixue got in Zhou Ye’s car. She would rush to Manzhouli, and when Li Chunshan arrived, the siblings would leave the country together through the border, heading to the Soviet Union. After the events of the previous night, Nie Zhenbang had left the matter of the Soviet Union to Li Lixue. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was also boarding a plane to Jingcheng.

The plane landed at Jingcheng City Airport in the afternoon. This time, Yang Anbang and Xiao Yali were there to meet him. However, they had changed cars. It was a newly produced Bentley. The car was black with a square and austere design, showcasing luxury in its simplicity.

Seeing Nie Zhenbang look at the car, Yang Anbang laughed, “This just arrived a few days ago. According to you, we should keep a low profile. The BMW 7 stands out too much. This car is better. With these plates, it doesn’t attract too much attention on the streets.”

Off to the side, Xiao Yali huffed, “Keeping a low profile is good, but it’s more trouble. The day we got the plates, we got pulled over by the traffic police in West City.”

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang laughed. In his past life, his second sister Xiao always had a fiery temper. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have quarreled with Yang Anbang in Jingcheng to the point where she had to join the military. This life, although under Nie Zhenbang’s intervention, the two antagonists had come together. Yet in front of others, Xiao Yali’s temperament hadn’t changed much. What others call ostentation, extravagance—these were ordinary things for Xiao Yali.

Nie Zhenbang chuckled, and he and Liu Kun placed their luggage in the car. Long and Tiger, at this moment, also got into the nearby Red Flag.

At this time, Yang Anbang walked over and spoke lowly, “Third Brother, why did you bring all these things? Since the big disarmament, military depots across the country have been filled with weapons. Although these are original factory productions and are of better quality than our imitations, it’s useless for us to take them. The news has already spread in Jingcheng’s circles, and everyone’s saying Nie the Third has gone mad.”

As soon as he was seated in the car, Nie Zhenbang took the front seat and from behind, Xiao Yali also started to talk: “Zhenbang, why did you bring back so many weapons? The stuff from the Soviets is good, indeed, but does our country lack weapons? This batch of goods piled up now, you’ve smashed your own reputation.”

Nie Zhenbang smirked. At present, the limitations of the country’s top level and the military are too great. At this moment, the arms export of Huaxia is only aimed at some countries with good diplomatic relations at home and abroad. But, wait until later. Once I dispose of these weapons, these people will be definitely surprised. There are still many wars abroad.

The AK-47, this is the best assault rifle in the world. Even in the 21st century, they’re still being produced. Once these things turn into green cash, those who laughed at me will have to shut up.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang’s mood is very indifferent; just as the poet Tang Bohu wrote, others laugh at me thinking I’m crazy. I laugh at them for not seeing through.

This era. It is an era in which opportunities exist all over the world. This era. The land of Huaxia is full of gold. The same is true in the world. Like the Soviet Union at the moment, and Japan.

Nie Zhenbang laughed: “Second sister, are you still caring about these things? Your character isn’t like someone who lives by looking at others’ faces. This time you’re taking care of so many.”

Ever since Nie Zhenbang entered the Nie family, Xiao Yali has been mingling with him, which is different from the children of Nie Guoping. Her uncle Deng Xianping and her older sister Nie Guoping are scholars with high spirits, and Deng Yuanchao is the same. Now, Deng Yuanchao, who is 25, is studying for a master’s degree at Jingcheng Military Medical University and is planning to go abroad. He has little contact with Nie Zhenbang and others.

Among the younger generation of the Nie family, Nie Jialeiang holds a transcendent position and is a mysterious figure. So, it has formed a small circle. Xiao Yali and Nie Zhenbang, together with Nie Jiamin who is now far in Xibei, get along quite well.

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s joke, Xiao Yali glared at him: “You heartless! Isn’t your sister angry for you? These guys, who has as much courage as you? If they have the guts, they should go to the Soviet Union to bring back a fleet of arms. It would be good even just to smelt them at home.”

Blunt Xiao Yali, her last sentence revealed her true thoughts.

Nie Zhenbang didn’t get angry at all, and immediately laughed: “Smelt them?

Second sister, I can’t believe you’d say that. Such a good thing, there’s no way I’m going to smelt it into steel. This stuff is worth more than gold. This time, you all just watch. I’ll surprise you. Next time, I guess, there will be T72 tanks and even T80 tanks on the books.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yali didn’t react much. But Yang Anbang beside them, his face turned serious, he looked at Nie Zhenbang and said: “Zhenbang, tell me the truth, are you working for the military now?”

These two tanks are currently the main battle tanks of the Soviet Union, especially the T80 type main battle tank, which just started to equip the army a few years ago. So far, there are probably no more than 2,200 of these throughout the whole Soviet Union. This is definitely the core military secret of the Soviets.

If Huaxia can obtain a sample of this tank, its tank technology will soon catch up with the Soviet level in terms of reactive armour, main gun, power assembly and other firepower control aspects. The significance of this is self-evident.

Nie Zhenbang just shook his head, the fewer people that know about this plan, the better. Smiling and playing coy, he said, “Second brother, you know our party’s confidentiality regulations. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Just have a good idea in your heart.”

The car quickly stopped in front of the Capital Restaurant. At this moment, what Nie Zhenbang and others did not expect was that basically all the well-known figures in Jingcheng, including Zhou Chen, had gathered.

The Li family, Wang family, Zhou family, Chen family and the military’s Zhang family, plus the figures of Nie Zhenbang’s group. At this moment, here could even gather a small politburo standing committee.

As soon as he saw Nie Zhenbang, Zhou Chen began to smirk triumphantly. The last time, he managed to undermine Nie Zhenbang in the matter of Audi, although he lost a deputy ministerial level cadre, but that was just a camp follower, not a direct descendant of the Zhou family. Zhou Chen didn’t feel any heartache at all. The Zhou family didn’t feel much either. On the contrary, it made Nie Zhenbang’s several hundred millions of RMB stuck in a wasteland in the south of the city, this is what made Zhou Chen most excited. This time, hearing that Nie Zhenbang brought back a load of arms, Zhou Chen immediately rushed back from Chunan Province. The purpose is simple, to watch Nie Zhenbang become a laughing-stock in Jingcheng..
