How could Xiao Qiang just stand there like a fool, saying nothing? He had plenty of ways to leave. Let’s not forget what Han Ming was capable of; although his resources were limited and he couldn't design the Bionic Core brain robot for Kabo Corporation, he could easily sabotage the voice verification equipment.
When they parted ways at the police station, Han Ming handed Xiao Qiang a disruption card. This card could mimic the voice source code settings, allowing him to disrupt the original setup and interfere with the voice verification process.
As Xiao Qiang stepped outside, he hadn’t walked far before someone set their sights on him. This person wasn’t from Choke; it was a Supervisor he had met only once but who had left a deep impression on him.
The people from Choke would not easily provoke Xiao Qiang now. Previously, they had been scolded by Choke and had seen him and the Supervisor seemingly reconcile.
Xiao Qiang was determined to rescue Fang Shanshan. He had misjudged the situation before; the attack by Plum Blossom Rain on Fang Shanshan was orchestrated by Choke to lure him into a trap at Kabo Corporation. It now seemed that Choke was unaware of this matter, suggesting that Plum Blossom Rain acted independently, intending to use Fang Shanshan to draw him out.
Given that Plum Blossom Rain hadn’t contacted Han Ming, it could be inferred that she suspected Xiao Qiang knew about her wrongdoing in abducting Fang Shanshan.
After leaving Choke's office, Xiao Qiang felt as if he was being followed. He took a few steps, then suddenly turned around, catching a glimpse of a figure darting behind a pillar.
What the hell? A pathetic attempt at following. If they weren’t skilled enough, why bother? Xiao Qiang scoffed and ignored his pursuer, striding confidently away.
However, when he stepped outside, he was stunned to find his motorcycle missing. Spotting a burly guy approaching, he rushed over and asked, “Hey, buddy, have you seen a motorcycle?”
“That thing is yours?” The guy seemed incredulous that someone like Xiao Qiang could own an Antique Motorcycle. His eyes filled with doubt as he smirked slightly and replied, “I just saw a robot toss a motorcycle into a scrap truck.”
“Where’s that scrap truck headed?”
“To three different yards.”
“Three different yards? What a ridiculous name. Damn it, who do I ask?” Xiao Qiang grimaced.
“I don’t know. Just figure it out.”
The guy made a funny face and left with a smile.
Standing at the entrance of Kabo Corporation, he cast his gaze towards the cars whizzing by on the closed road. For the first time, he felt envy and jealousy, cursing that bastard Matt under his breath. After venting, he had to figure something out, didn’t he? Running around in broad daylight? Wouldn’t that attract the police, with their patrol cars following closely behind?
He wandered aimlessly, hands stuffed in his pockets, resembling a drifter with nothing to do as he left the entrance of Kabo Corporation. Following a vague direction, he walked casually, his mind filled with thoughts of Fang Shanshan's charming figure.
Groups of people passed by him, all unfamiliar faces. Suddenly, Xiao Qiang remembered something and muttered under his breath, “Damn…” He abruptly stopped, furrowing his brow. Turning sharply, he spotted someone just a few meters behind him who hadn’t managed to dodge out of sight. The person froze for a moment before taking a stiff step forward, trying to appear casual but unable to hide the panic within.
“Stop right there.”
Xiao Qiang shouted.
The person who had been walking briskly lowered their head in fright and shivered at the command. Unable to help themselves, they stopped and slowly raised their head. “What do you want?”
Xiao Qiang focused his gaze and realized this person was none other than the Supervisor from Kabo Corporation. “It’s you? Why are you following me?”
The Supervisor looked stunned and tried to argue weakly, “Hey buddy, I’m just passing by.”
“You’re not following me? Then why did I shout stop and everyone ignored me except for you?”
“…” The Supervisor lowered his head even further. “Alright, I admit it; I was following you.”
“What’s the reason for following me?”
“Do you really know Choke?”
Xiao Qiang couldn't help but chuckle to himself, realizing that this was the reason for the visit. "What do you think?"
"My car is in the garage, let me get it..." the Supervisor replied, nodding at Xiao Qiang before turning to fetch the vehicle.
Xiao Qiang cautiously glanced around, ensuring there were no spies from Kabo Corporation before he turned and walked into a roadside shop to wait for the Supervisor.
The shop was filled with a variety of goods, everything one could imagine. Unfortunately, he had no money in his pockets and could only pretend to browse. After a long while of selecting items, nothing seemed to belong to him.
"Hi, sir, do you need any help?" A sales clerk approached him after noticing his unusual behavior on the surveillance camera.
"No, no, it's nothing. I just realized I forgot my card. What a pity..." Xiao Qiang replied apologetically with a smile and casually walked out.
The Supervisor's car pulled up just then—a Volkswagen XL2, an ordinary vehicle. It couldn't compare to Fang Shanshan's Barka Amphibious Concept Car, but it was better than nothing!
"Go ahead, what do you need me for?"
"You didn't mention that day at the company to Choke, did you?"
Xiao Qiang chuckled inwardly, sidestepping the odd question from the Supervisor and countered, "You seem quite afraid of Choke?"
"Well, not really," the Supervisor said as he handed Xiao Qiang a business card. "I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of Choke. If you ever need anything from me in the future, feel free to ask."
Xiao Qiang looked at the card: Fei Ren: Supervisor of the Sales Department at Kabo Robotics. What a name to have—Fei Ren (useless person)? He chuckled again and slipped it into his pocket.
"Of course." He casually agreed, raising an eyebrow before changing the subject. "Where is the junkyard located? Or where can I find those three furnaces?"
"What are you going over there for?"
"(⊙o⊙)… Just a small matter. Why? Is it inconvenient for you to go?"
"It's fine, I don't have much to do today. I can give you a ride, but that place will soon be the territory of Kabo Corporation."
"Kabo Corporation is using the scrapyard for a development project?"
"It seems to be for building and storing a warehouse for old robots."
"???" Xiao Qiang wondered to himself, "What category do old robots belong to?"
"NS?2."
Xiao Qiang recalled that he was saved by an NS?2, and it seemed like it was also an NS?2. How did it become an old robot? "What do you mean by this?"
"This is confidential, but since you're a big shot in front of Choke, I won't hide it from you." Fei Ren reorganized his emotions and said, "The NS?2 is about to be phased out. The vice president's NS?3 is officially going into mass production soon, and the replacement for the old robots is just around the corner."
"NS?3 is the vice president's new robot? Since he designed the new robot, why did he commit suicide?" Xiao Qiang asked this question and suddenly felt a bit impulsive. He wondered if Fei Ren would question his words.
