Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 50: Escape from Underwater
The submerged car target was clearly marked on the Manta submersible's display screen.

The manta ray submersible chased the car that was being carried downstream by the river flow.

The Qian controlled submersible fell under the car. Wei Jiang heard a clanging sound from the top of the submersible, and the submersible visibly sank.

Move the joystick to control the submarine to continue sinking.

"The battery is dropping quite fast."

Seeing that the battery power was only 54% left, Wei Jiang didn't dare to stay any longer.

The submersible was turned and it lifted up the car and sailed upstream.

That’s right, Wei Jiang planned to stage a traffic accident and throw the car into the river.

The car was then brought upstream by a submersible, which was exactly the opposite of the search and rescue habits of subsequent search and rescue teams.

In this way, the final sinking location of the car can avoid the search area of ​​the search and rescue team, and it is unknown when the car will be found.

Wei Jiang noticed that the submarine's speed had dropped drastically due to the weight of the car.

After sailing at 12 knots for a long time, Wei Jiang noticed that the battery power of the submersible was only 15% remaining, and the submersible's computing terminal showed that it had traveled 13 km underwater.

"This distance should be enough."

"The difference is 13km. No one would have thought that a vehicle that had an accident downstream would travel so far upstream."

Wei Jiang looked at the submarine's diving depth of 20 meters and pushed the joystick to control the submarine to continue sinking.

Half a minute later, when a red warning light appeared on the display screen, the submersible tilted under Wei Jiang's control, and the car supported on top slid down.

The submersible was sailing at a depth of 39 meters at this time. Seeing the sonar scanning analysis results showing that the car had fallen to the bottom of the river, Wei Jiang finally felt relieved.

After reviewing everything that happened that night from beginning to end and making sure there was nothing missing, Wei Jiang sat quietly in the cockpit.

The river was 39 meters below the surface and no sound of waves could be heard. It was terrifyingly quiet and dark.

The LED lights in the cockpit reflected on Wei Jiang's face, and his fatigue after long-term mental tension was clearly visible.

From birth to the early 20 years today, he has never experienced what happened tonight.

Kidnapping, shooting, murder, and destruction of corpses, all of these thrilling things that Wei Jiang thought would only happen in movies and TV shows actually happened in his life.

There are emotions and more growth.

The moment he obtained the enhanced panel, Wei Jiang knew that his life was destined to be different.

But when this strange life showed its dark side, he, who had been an honest man in a society ruled by law for more than 20 years, became a little panicked.

Fortunately, there was a reinforced panel, and fortunately he strengthened the armed module in time, so he had the ability to fight back.

Wei Jiang lowered his head and took out a black pistol and a lighter from his pocket.

The gun, the one that was pointed at his head through the car window at night.

Holding the gun in his hand, Wei Jiang realized that the pistol was poorly made and must have been privately made.

Wei Jiang didn't find any bullets, which means that the gun is now just a toy.

Putting the pistol aside, when Wei Jiang raised the lighter in front of his eyes, his expression instantly became fierce.

There was a merchant advertisement printed on the black lighter, and Wei Jiang was very familiar with the merchant's name.

"Huaqiang Auto Repair."

"Zhang Huaqiang, why is it you?"

“Is it for battery replacement technology?”

Wei Jiang found the lighter on the man who was holding the steel pipe.

When the two bodies were being moved, Wei Jiang was very disappointed that he did not find any mobile phones on them.

He had previously suspected that the Red Star vest had been exposed, and whether tonight's attack came from BYD?

After all, they had just reached a 200 billion deal with BYD. With such a huge amount of money, as long as Hong Xing is gone, BYD can make pure profit from a technology with an annual output value of potentially hundreds of billions.

But when he saw the lighter fall out of the steel pipe man's pocket, he finally understood where the attack came from.

At that moment he also remembered where he had seen the face of the man with the steel pipe.

Although the other person had shaved his hair, Wei Jiang still recalled the intruder in his house some time ago.

It all made sense.

There were not two groups of people spying on Yonghe Auto Repair's battery replacement business, but only one group or one person, Zhang Huaqiang. He threw the lighter aside and looked at the time on the display. It was already midnight.

"It's time to go home, or the old man will be worried."

After getting rid of the weight of the car, the manta ray's sailing speed returned to normal. When the remaining battery power was 7%, Wei Jiang controlled the submersible to surface.

After closing the hatch, Wei Jiang jumped onto the river bank in one step, stood in place and used his mobile phone to control the submersible to sink to the bottom of the river.

Wearing wet clothes, Wei Jiang saw the Wuling mini waiting for him quietly by the roadside.

When choosing this section of road as the submersible's surfacing point, Wei Jiang conducted reconnaissance and confirmed that there were no surveillance probes installed nearby.

The previous caution is now effective and can avoid being caught by surveillance cameras coming out of the river.

With wet hair, he got into the car and slumped in the seat. Wei Jiang glanced at the intact car window and whispered:

"go home."

"Okay, owner."

When Wei Jiang returned home, he did not disturb his father Wei Yonghe and plugged the charging gun into the Wuling mini.

"It seems that the old man has rested a long time ago."

"That's good. It saves me the trouble of explaining."
-
While Wei Jiang was taking a shower in the bathroom at home, someone was smoking one cigarette after another.

His legs were shaking under the tea table and the room was filled with smoke.

The ashtray on the tea table was almost full of cigarette butts, and the lighter next to it had the words "Huaqiang Auto Repair" printed on it.

Zhang Huaqiang had been sitting in the room for nearly six hours. Since Dalei informed him at 6 o'clock last night that he and his elder brother were leaving, he had not received any new news from Dalei in the past five hours.

I picked up the phone and tried to contact Dalei again, but there was still the familiar waiting tone. No one answered until I hung up.

"Damn it! Why didn't you bring your phone!?"

Zhang Huaqiang slammed his phone on the table, feeling extremely anxious.

Ever since he failed to communicate with Wei Yonghe and his son a few days ago, his inner desire to know the secret of Yonghe Auto Repair's battery replacement has not been extinguished.

This desire was stimulated and burned like wildfire.

Since Wei Yonghe and his son didn't care about the civilized way of communicating, it's not like Zhang Huaqiang had never used uncivilized methods in the past.

After two days of preparation, he decided to take formal action today and use force to force Wei Jiang to hand over the secrets of the battery swap business.

As a young boy, Zhang Huaqiang didn't think Wei Jiang could remain tough when a fist hit his face!

Two hours ago, he had even begun to imagine that Huaqiang Auto Repair would grow bigger and even go public after obtaining the secret of battery replacement!
As time went by, this confident mentality began to undergo subtle changes.

"Will Dalei run away with the secret?"

Zhang Huaqiang had to think so. This technology, which can mass-produce reusable second-hand power battery packs, will bring huge benefits to anyone who is familiar with the electric vehicle industry.

After reading Dalei's message from beginning to end, Zhang Huaqiang's gloomy expression changed and he smiled complacently.

"How dare he! I know where his whole family is, unless he doesn't want to live a good life in this life!"

After laughing a few times, Zhang Huaqiang's face suddenly turned ugly again.

"So what is the situation now?"

"What went wrong?"

Feeling irritated, Zhang Huaqiang reached out and grabbed the cigarette box to smoke another one.

Seeing that the cigarette box was empty, he frowned, crumpled the box into a ball and threw it out.

"Damn it! It's not a big deal, is it okay?!"

Feeling suffocated sitting in the room, Zhang Huaqiang grabbed his car keys and cell phone and stood up to go home and continue waiting.

"Trash!"

Zhang Huaqiang closed the shop door and got into the black Mercedes-Benz, throwing his cell phone aside.

Due to his irritable mood, the Mercedes started and drove very fast. Zhang Huaqiang, who was feeling annoyed, did not notice the flash on his mobile phone screen.

The news app pushed a local news.

"Around 1 a.m., a black car crashed into the river on the Yanjiang Highway. The rescue team has arrived at the waters where the incident occurred."
