‘I’ll digest this information tomorrow’ Xie Lei stretched lazily and closed the notebook co see was slow and even

Xia Lei climbed carefully into bed and lay ht and Long Bing woke so, Xia Lei went to theplant three minutes earlier than the first time There were no workers in the workshop when he went past it and everything was still and quiet

Xia Lei’s gaze landed on a large CNC h-precision CNC tool and could do the job of several lathes He was instantly attracted to the machine and his steps turned towards it but he quickly discovered that there was a surveillance caave up on his course of action

He had co plant half an hour early to observe the advanced lathes in the workshop It was a good opportunity to get hold of some secrets while no one else was around in the workshop but if he was caught on caood opportunity would turn into a disadvantage

Xia Lei did not halt his steps but slowed theaze focused on that lathe and used his X-ray and zoom-in abilities to inspect the internal structure of the machine It was not very convenient to do this and it used up a lot of energy but it was the safest

He looked ahen he was about parallel to the machine It would attract attention if he looked back at it after co during this period of time and he paid attention to details like these

Past the workshop and in the work shed, he found that Annina had not arrived yet There was no security camera in the work shed so Xia Lei went directly to the lathe and used his X-ray vision to see its integrated circuits andhe saw

Half an hour passed quickly and Annina turned up for work five ht black T-shi+rt, jeans shorts, tall and leggy with a substantial chest - her body screareeted Xia Lei war, “Good , Miss Annina”

“You don’t have to be so polite Just callyou ‘Mr’ anymore I want us to be friends and friends aren’t so formal with each other”

She was a vivacious woman and spoke her mind

Xia Let put a smile on his face, “Sure It’s my honour to be able to have a friend like you”

“Let’s start working after i’ed” Annina opened her locker and did not cover herself at all; she took off her tight black T-shi+rt and jeans shorts right in front of Xia Lei She was dressed in only a black bikini

She earing clothing but Xia Lei still looked away, ehout and continued with the repair of the tank engine with Xia Lei’s assistance after changing into work clothes As Xia Lei assisted, he recalled the inforht and coes with the circuit board of the machine he had used his X-ray vision on earlier Heas reference to help hie of what he hadwas undeniably a short-cut and only someone like hi you about the person who helped me?” Annina broke the silence between them

Xia Lei took himself out of study mode and said casually, “Yeah You said he esoaze was strange, “He was someone who knew martial arts I think he is most likely Chinese What do you think?”

“Martial arts is not just from China japan has judo, kendo Korea has taekwondo It’s sometimes difficult to tell which is which The person who helped you could be japanese or Korean, not just Chinese”

“Then…” Annina said probingly, “Was it you, Lukas?”

Xia Lei cussed internally and put on a surprised expression, “Me? Haha If I were as auy I’d rescue you for sure But I was in the washroom and didn’t even knohat had happened I actually still feel a little guilty for not helping you when you were in trouble”

The corners of Annina’s lips turned up, just a tiny bit, and she seemed dissatisfied with his answer

Xia Lei avoided her gaze and thought to hi questions Did I let it slip so?’

At thatman walked into the work shed “Annina, it’s rill party at seven at ?”

Annina raised her head and gave the young man a look “Happy birthday, Josef I’ll be there”

The young man named Josef looked Xia Lei up and down but did not extend an invitation and left the work shed

After Josef left, Annina said, “He’s an electrical engineer in our plant He’s pretty good but he doesn’t quite have manners He should have invited you just now”

“It’s all right We don’t know each other after all so it’s normal for hi ‘If he’s an electrical engineer then he ood if I can see those drawings’

‘Josef’ - Xia Lei took note of his name
