Chapter 17 Wei Yonghe's Concerns
Wei Yonghe used both hands to turn the wheelchair handles and slowly slid down the ramp.

A worker nearby saw this and stood up to help.

"Brother, I'll push you wherever you go."

"No, thank you. Just rest. You've gotten used to this thing after using it for a few months."

Wei Yonghe rejected the other party's kindness and controlled the wheelchair to come to the Wuling mini.

He touched the hood of the Wuling car with his palm and tapped it with his fingers.

The sound is dull, and I don't feel the vibration I felt before when I knocked, and the sound sounds more textured.

When you touch the car body with your palm, the silky touch is different from the paint and sealing wax, and the cold metal touch is more obvious.

Wei Yonghe's eyes became increasingly suspicious, and he controlled the wheelchair to go around the front of the car and stop next to the driver's door.

What about the door handles?
Why is it missing?
Wei Yonghe touched the original handlebar position again and again.

Unlike the newly introduced hidden door handles in the car industry, he is very sure that Wei Jiang's car really does not have a door handle design.

When Wei Yonghe was studying the door handle, due to the light transmittance problem of the car window, he was not aware that the display inside the car would light up, prompting strangers to touch it, and fingerprint and facial recognition would fail.

"What on earth is this kid thinking?"

"Forget about the modification. The lines of the car body look good after removing the door handles, but how do you open the door?"

Wei Yonghe scanned the car body, hoping to find a possible door opening interface.

While he was studying, the workers who were resting in the yard finished their break and prepared to continue working.

"Brother, your car looks great, like a small steel cannon."

Hearing the workers' praise, Wei Yonghe smiled back.

The moment he turned his head, his expression gradually became serious.

I think of the power lithium battery repair equipment assembled by my son, and the changes made to this Wuling mini car.

Only then did he realize that his son Wei Jiang seemed to be hiding many secrets from him.

I recalled that my son must have insisted on moving the auto repair shop back home to avoid the attention of outsiders.

Wei Yonghe couldn't help but feel panicked for a moment.

Something must have happened to my son, otherwise he would never have hidden it from me.

He looked towards the window of Wei Jiang's room in the inner room. Wei Jiang's tiredness just now was very abnormal.

"You little brat, act like a man and take care of things."

"But don't go astray."

Wei Yonghe sighed softly and pretended nothing had happened as he pushed his wheelchair closer to the construction area where the workers were working.

"Everyone, please have some snacks."

"My son is going to use this area as an auto repair workshop. He has to support the family and me while the child is still young."

"I can't help him at all now. Thank you for your hard work."
-
Wei Jiang fell asleep quickly within a few seconds after lying on the bed. When he opened his eyes and checked the time, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.

"Depend on!"

Wei Jiang got up from the bed with his bare chest, put on a short-sleeved shirt and walked out of the house.

The LED lights under the eaves were still on at this time. Wei Yonghe looked back at Wei Jiang while sitting in a wheelchair.

"Dad, why didn't you call me? I'll go cook now."

Seeing Wei Jiang picking his eye boogers and preparing to walk into the kitchen, Wei Yonghe waved his hand to signal Wei Jiang to stop.

"Don't worry, it won't take a moment."

"I sit in a wheelchair every day without exercising, so my appetite is not good to begin with, but I'm not hungry right now."

"Come and sit down."

Wei Jiang sat on the small stool next to Wei Yonghe's wheelchair.

"You have to eat even if you are not hungry. Lack of nutrition will affect your body's recovery. I hope you can get out of bed soon."

Wei Yonghe smiled and looked at Wei Jiang with gentle eyes.

"You must be very tired recently. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Wei Jiang yawned and looked at his father with some confusion. "What's the problem? I'm fine."

"I've earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past ten days. What else can be difficult?"

Wei Yonghe nodded slightly and looked at the Wuling mini in the yard.

This kid is quite good at pretending!
Being able to obtain the world-leading battery repair technology in a short period of time and modify the Wuling mini into that state without anyone noticing is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

"Tell me the truth, you haven't done anything illegal, right?"

Wei Yonghe stared at Wei Jiang with his eyes fixed, and Wei Jiang could clearly see the worry between his brows.

Unlike his father's worries, Wei Jiang laughed and said:
"Dad, you worry too much. You have to believe in your son."

"Then tell me who taught you the relevant technology of battery repair equipment?"

"And your Wuling mini, that thing has been modified beyond recognition, the material and craftsmanship are almost comparable to luxury cars worth millions."

Hearing his father's anxious questioning, the smile on Wei Jiang's face faded.

So that's how it is. It seems that my father has noticed something unusual.

That's right, he had never hidden these things from his only relative, his father. Having been repairing cars for half his life, it was impossible for him to be so slow.

Wei Jiang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at his father.

"Dad, do you believe in the character of your son?"

"Of course! You are my child, how can I not understand you kid?"

"Although I used to be playful, gluttonous and lazy, I could only be considered naughty."

Noticing the slightly awkward smile on Wei Jiang's face, Wei Yonghe changed his tone and continued.

".Of course, I have changed a lot now. I look like an adult."

Wei Jiang chuckled, enjoying it very much.

"In that case, please believe that I, your son, will never do anything that goes against my conscience. We don't steal or rob, and we live upright lives!"

"Whether it's the money earned from battery repair or the car, it was never obtained by stealing or cheating others."

Hearing this from Wei Jiang, Wei Yonghe's worries were alleviated a lot.

But there are still some doubts that are hard to dispel. We are not stealing or robbing anyone.

But what if someone else gets jealous and comes to snatch the good things that Wei Jiang has now?
"Will you be in danger because of these things?"

Wei Jiang shook his head, stood up and stretched.

"Don't worry, Dad. I know what's going on."

"Okay, I'm hungry too. I'll get you something to eat."

As Wei Jiang walked into the kitchen, the sound of a kitchen knife hitting the chopping board was heard.

Wei Yonghe suddenly felt powerless, as if he could not help his son with anything.

Fremont Plant, North America.

Since morning, a large number of people have gathered here.

Nearly a thousand people, including media reporters, practitioners, investors, Tesla fans, and car owners, gathered in the 7th factory.

The seats in the factory are separated by a cross-shaped road. A large area in the center of the cross is left vacant, with only a circular platform of about 2 square meters in the middle.

The Tesla company logo and a large, stick figure robot head are spray-painted on the circular platform floor.

There are giant screens hanging on the walls around the factory, playing introductions to the company's products over and over again.

Many participants who arrived at the scene noticed that several screens were broadcasting live images of the local city’s iconic buildings.

After more than an hour of waiting, Tesla CEO and Space X founder Musk strode in from the east gate of the factory.

As he walked forward, there were warm cheers, applause and whistles in the venue. The new products that were about to be unveiled had already aroused their anticipation, and they couldn't wait to witness the future becoming a reality!

Tesla's commercially operated self-driving taxi Robotaxi will be officially released today!

This is a technology industry press conference that has attracted global attention!
It may even directly change the way humans on the entire Blue Planet travel!
