Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 8 Power Battery Arrival
Unable to bear staying with the smelly Hu Qingshi, Wei Jiang communicated with the staff and was led into an office.

After changing his clothes, Hu Qingshi was taken to another room.

As the time reached 4 a.m., Wei Jiang felt sleepy and fell asleep in an office chair.

Since it has happened, we might as well make the best of it. Regarding what happened last night, all Wei Jiang could do was wait.
-
I could vaguely hear footsteps and the sound of passing cars.

"Wake up, wake up."

A man's voice sounded, and Wei Jiang felt someone patting his shoulder.

Rubbing his eyes, Wei Jiang sat up straight and looked at the person who came.

Team leader Wu Siwei stood aside, taking photos with a cell phone in his hand.

Wei Jiang stood up and asked:

"What time is it, officer?"

Wu Siwei looked at the phone screen, yawned and said:
"It's past 7 o'clock, and you're sleeping soundly."

Wei Jiang had a sore back and waist from the sleep he had. He pinched his numb shoulders with a gloomy expression.

"Oh, I'm so sleepy that I can't stand it anymore."

"Uncle police, this matter has nothing to do with me. I just happened to..."

Seeing Wei Jiang becoming a little agitated, Wu Siwei interrupted him with a smile and said:

"Don't worry, we have already figured out that this was Hu Qingshi's personal behavior. It has nothing to do with you."

"On behalf of the police force, I would like to thank you for cooperating with our work. You can leave now."

Wei Jiang, who was picking the boogers from his eyes, was extremely surprised when he heard this.

Finally proved his innocence!

Not implicated by that bastard Hu Qingshi!

Hey, hearing what the police said, did Hu Qingshi really do it?
"Officer, did that guy really steal the company's technical information and sell it for money?"

Wei Jiang asked cautiously. He didn't expect that Hu Qingshi, who looked gentle and refined, would do such a sneaky thing behind the scenes.

When talking about the case, Wu Siwei's face turned serious.

"The crime has been basically established, but I am not in a position to disclose the details."

"Go home quickly. Someone called your cell phone several times half an hour ago."

Wei Jiang was still thinking about continuing to gossip, but Wu Siwei's words suddenly made him sober up.

The only person who could call me at this time must be my father Wei Yonghe.

He must be worried since I didn't come home last night.

"Yes, yes, yes. I won't ask, officer. Where's my cell phone?"

Wu Siwei handed the phone in his hand to Wei Jiang. It was a black Honor phone, the one Wei Jiang had been using for two years.

"Thank you thank you."

The battery of my cell phone is only 17% left. I have to call the old man back immediately.

"Uncle police, I'm leaving now."

Wu Siwei was busy all night without sleeping, as there were still many things to deal with in this case.

"Let's go, I'll take you out."

The two of them walked politely to the police station compound and watched Wei Jiang open the door of the Wuling mini car and get in.

Wu Siwei suddenly remembered something, stood in front of the car window and pointed at the instrument display in the driver's seat and said:
"Let me remind you, kid, motor vehicle modifications need to be registered, and modifying key components is illegal."

Wei Jiang, who was about to start the tram, suddenly felt pressure rising, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know how to answer.

"For a Wuling mini car, you modified the instrument panel to show that the remaining range is 1900 kilometers. What's the point?"

"Don't do this kind of thing anymore."

Wu Siwei teased Wei Jiang with a smile and patted the Wuling car window with his hand.

Listening to the banging sounds, Wu Siwei sighed in his heart that it was worthy of being a Wuling magic car. The body material was not bad at such a low cost, and was not inferior to the official cars in the institute.

"Uh, yes, yes, you are right. I will change it back when I get back."

Wei Jiang quickly took advantage of the situation to deal with it.

He laughed awkwardly a few times, waved to Wu Siwei, and drove out of the police station.

Looking at the police station gate disappearing into the rearview mirror, Wei Jiang finally felt relieved.

It seems that the police officers were busy and no one took the time to study their car in depth. If it attracted too much attention, it would be no small matter.

In the yard of the police station, Wu Siwei nodded continuously as he watched the Wuling mini going away.

It's true that domestic electric cars are doing really well now. This little Wuling looks quite powerful, and the body is very compact and there is no unusual noise when driving. It would be nice to buy one for my parents later.

"That boy left?"

A police officer walked in from outside holding a plastic bag of breakfast. He was the police officer who went out on patrol with Wu Siwei last night.

"Well, the young man is unlucky to have to spend the night here."

The police officer handed the breakfast to Wu Siwei and nodded with a smile.

"That's right. That guy runs a car repair shop, right? His skills should be pretty good. Although the 1900-kilometer range of his electric car seems a bit fake, his Wuling scooter is pretty easy to drive and has good power."

Wu Siwei nodded slightly and then immediately shook his head, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

"Let's talk business. Although Hu Qingshi has confessed and BYD has controlled Zhao Gang, Boss Cai is nowhere to be seen."

"We need to request assistance."
-
"Dad, I went out to sing karaoke with my friends yesterday. It was too noisy and I didn't hear the phone ringing. Don't worry, I'm on my way home now."

"Okay, you've been very tired recently, it's time to go out and relax. Don't go home yet, go to the store first. Qiangzi is driving the car with the batteries on his way to the store."

This is good news, and Wei Jiang finally had a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll go first. Dad, you bear with me for a while. I'll collect the batteries and then buy breakfast."

After chatting with his father for a few words, Wei Jiang hung up the phone.

Although I kept yawning, I was in a good mood.

With the power battery, once the equipment is assembled in two days, the power battery business of Yonghe Auto Repair Shop can be officially launched.

With this business, my family will never be short of money for daily expenses.

This money was earned easily and steadily, so why would Wei Jiang do something illegal like stealing information?

Hu Qingshi is crazy about money and is trying to find ways to make money by using criminal law. He deserves it!

Not long after Wei Jiang arrived at the auto repair shop, two cars stopped in front of the shop.

One was a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan and the other was a small truck.

Wei Jiang stood at the door of the auto repair shop, thinking that this might be the old man's apprentice Qiangzi coming over.

Luxury cars like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class would never be parked in front of his small auto repair shop.

The driver's door of the Mercedes Benz opened, and a short, dark-skinned man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a gold necklace around his neck walked out.

"Xiao Jiang, long time no see. You look quite handsome now."

Zhang Huaqiang was an apprentice in his family's auto repair shop when Wei Jiang was in high school. Now he is the owner of several auto repair shops in the same city, and his business is much better than his father's.

"Brother Qiang, thank you for your hard work. You came here so early to deliver the things."

Zhang Huaqiang walked up to Wei Jiang and patted him on the shoulder. Feeling the height difference, he took a step forward.

"What are you talking about? It's an honor for me to be able to help Master Wei. I have to thank Master Wei for coming over to help me."

After a few hearty laughs, Zhang Huaqiang stood in front of his Mercedes-Benz, holding the hood of the car with one hand and shouting instructions to the small truck.

"Don't just stand there, unload the things and move them in quickly."

"Xiao Jiang, your store is small, tell them where to put it."

When Wei Jiang nodded and went to help, Zhang Huaqiang lit a cigarette for himself and looked at the mottled door curtain of Yonghe Auto Repair Shop and said:
"This store is almost 20 years old. I think it should have closed long ago."

"Xiao Jiang, if you want to work in auto repair, it's better to work with your brother Qiang."

Wei Jiang smiled and didn't say anything. The shop was a little shabby, but it was his own.

Besides, this shabby state is only temporary and will soon be gone.

After the batteries were moved, Zhang Huaqiang asked Xiaohuo to go back first.

"Xiao Jiang, come on, take me to see Master Wei. I haven't come to see him since the accident."

Then he opened the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz and pointed at the skin care products inside and said:
"These are all bought for your father to nourish his body."

"Thank you, Brother Qiang. This is too expensive."

Wei Jiang felt embarrassed to ask others for help and for bringing gifts.

"Stop talking about this, Xiaojiang. We are all family. Let's go, take my car to your house."

Wei Jiang had been planning to go home, and when guests came to visit, he really had to take them home for a visit.

"No, Brother Qiang, it's more convenient for me to drive my own car."

"Besides, I'm covered in dirt and I won't ride in your Mercedes."

Watching Wei Jiang close the shop and walk towards the avocado green Wuling mini beside him, Zhang Huaqiang couldn't help but curl his lips, with disgust in his eyes.

"The father and son are the same, poor and mean! They are not worthy of being on the big stage!"
