Chapter 367: Meeting the Commander, Taking the Transport Aperture Pill
Lying won't get you a wife…… Lin Meng, hearing Ye Chenjing's words, couldn't help but raise her forehead, turn her head, and glare at him.
"Please, the last sentence doesn't need to be said!"
Ye Chenjing is usually quite serious and businesslike, so why is he being playful now?
Seeing that Lin Meng seemed dissatisfied with his words, Ye Chenjing felt a little hurt.
You should know that this final poison oath, for him, is practically more serious than losing his life, which shows his sincerity.
The two officials knew Ye Chenjing; although they still thought it was child's play, they gave him face and picked up the pill and that stack of reports.
The sound of pages turning echoed in the quiet interrogation room for ten or so minutes.
Each of the two officers had looked it over twice; now their brows were furrowed, filled with disbelief and shock, while they silently assessed the two people before them, wondering how likely it was that they were just playing a prank.
Obviously, no normal person would joke about this, especially after coming all the way to their military region on purpose.
The documents and the pill had been placed back on the table; the two officers looked at each other, and after a moment said:
"Comrade, Mr. Ye, although the information you provided is detailed and appears not to be a joke, but because this matter is too unscientific, we need to conduct on-site verification."
"Mr. Ye, please give a demonstration on the spot."
Ye Chenjing stood up without a word, glanced around, set his sights on Lin Meng, grabbed the chair she was sitting in with one hand, and lifted her and the chair together.
It wasn't lifted just a few centimeters off the ground, nor was it hoisted with both hands; rather, using only one hand, he easily lifted Lin Meng and the chair together.
At this moment, Lin Meng's seated height was level with the standing Ye Chenjing, and she placed one hand on his shoulder,
"I wonder if the two officials can do the same?"
The two looked at each other, already half convinced in their hearts, but seeing that Lin Meng was slender and weighed less than a hundred catties, they thought nothing of it.
"Not enough."
Hearing that, Ye Chenjing carefully set Lin Meng down, thought for a moment, and then said to the two:
"Both of you, please come up onto the table,"
Upon hearing that, they immediately knew what Ye Chenjing intended, exchanged a glance, and jumped onto the table.
"Alright, you give it a try,"
Together the two men weigh over three hundred pounds, and with the weight of this special iron table, it's at least four hundred pounds.
Only if Ye Chenjing can still lift it easily would it match the situation shown in his data.
Ye Chenjing found an angle, bent over, gripped the table leg, and lifted it smoothly in one motion.
He made it look as easy as lifting a small dumbbell.
The two officials were almost dumbstruck in an instant.
They experienced it themselves, saw it with their own eyes—it could not possibly be faked.
But Mr. Ye actually did it—he effortlessly lifted two grown men with one hand!
Feeling weightless, Ye Chenjing gently set them down and safely returned them to the ground.
He took out a tissue, wiped his hands, and then spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Surely you believe me now?"
Lin Meng also brightened at the sight; she could see clearly that Ye Chenjing had just been incredibly handsome, and it felt utterly effortless.
Now the two officials surely have no choice but to believe, right?
The two looked at each other again; this time they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
The next second, both became solemn and immediately said to Lin Meng:
"Comrade, may I ask how to address you?"
"Lin Meng, do the two officials still have any questions?"
The two shook their heads repeatedly and said:
"Miss Lin, your pill is indeed worth studying; I'd like to request instructions from my superiors—could you please wait a moment?"
Lin Meng nodded upon hearing that, and said, "Then go ahead and report quickly; I'm sincere in wanting to donate this pill to you, and I hope your superiors' leaders can come see me as soon as possible."
Soon, Lin Meng and Ye Chenjing were escorted to a private lounge.
After a while, one of the officials returned and spoke to Lin Meng very politely:
"Miss Lin, our chief wishes to meet you in person; you may need to take a helicopter."
Lin Meng hadn't expected that this time she would have to fly, and that preparations were for her to go alone while Ye Chenjing would stay behind to wait for her.
After some twists and turns, Lin Meng finally met the Military Region Commander.
Although the old man's hair was white as snow, he was spirited and energetic, especially his eyes, which shone with sharpness and wisdom.
The meeting place was still a tightly sealed dark room, but it was obvious this time they were given much more importance, with refreshments laid out on the table.
Director Li was somewhat surprised upon first seeing Lin Meng.
Although his subordinates had reported that she was a young girl, upon seeing Lin Meng in person he still couldn't help being startled.
Lin Meng showed no fear of their scrutiny, sitting calmly in the chair.
Besides Director Li, there were also two senior military officials opposite her.
At a glance, one could tell they were high-ranking individuals, their aura not to be underestimated.
Normally, in such a setting, not only would a young person feel nervous, but even the veteran soldiers under them would involuntarily feel tense.
Yet Director Li and the two others saw Lin Meng's calm demeanor, even seeing her drink tea and eat snacks, and they were secretly surprised, reevaluating her.
After a moment, Director Li finally spoke slowly:
"Young friend Lin, first let me introduce myself—I am Li, the Commander-in-Chief of the military; the two beside me are my comrades. I've heard you have a pill that can make people stronger—may I take a look?"
They got straight to the point, which was exactly what Lin Meng wanted.
Otherwise, a thorough investigation and background check would waste time and also dampen Lin Meng's enthusiasm for taking the Transport Aperture Pill.
Fortunately, Old Li isn't hung up on those formalities and is reasonably easy to talk to.
Lin Meng also didn't waste words, immediately took out the small porcelain bottle.
"This is the Aperture-Opening Pill; you can have someone try it on the spot. I won't say it works instantly, but it doesn't take long to take effect."
"If you're still uneasy, you can take a pill for testing. I've taken it myself, and my friends have too—no side effects."
Chief Li poured out an Aperture-Opening Pill, sniffed it, then handed it to an old man beside him.
The old man studied it for a moment, shook his head at Old Li, and said:
"The ingredients are complex; indeed, testing should come first before letting anyone try it."
Li, adhering to the principle of being responsible for his subordinates, immediately ordered someone to send the pill to the secret laboratory of the military district for testing.
Soon, the laboratory sent word, and the result shocked Chief Li greatly.
The laboratory director personally called Chief Li, his voice excited.
"Old Li, where did you get this pill? Can you get more?"
"Chief Li: First, tell me the conclusion—can we identify the pill's ingredients? Are there any problems?"
The other end took a deep breath, the excitement still impossible to hide.
"Old Li, this pill is miraculous—we isolated some active ingredients using the fastest means, and found that several of the ingredients are unknown, a kind of element never seen before,"
"But we can be certain it's non‑toxic, and it's very likely a beneficial ingredient."
The laboratory director pushed up his glasses, his voice trembling as he continued:
"Old Li, do you have more of this pill? I want to study it!"
All he got in response was a busy signal; Chief Li had already hung up the internal line, looking at Lin Meng with a complex and shocked expression.
Unknown ingredients……Even with the military's pharmaceutical genius, they couldn't identify the pill's components—this pill's significance is truly extraordinary!
