Chapter 605: Celebration

The two drove to the Laboratory.

Walking to the entrance, Chen Jiajun stood in front of an instrument for a moment, and the Laboratory doors opened automatically.

This left Li Yaohua stunned.

Although the Laboratory was in Brunei, Li Yaohua had truly not been there many times.

Firstly, the Laboratory held extremely important secrets, and it was rare for ordinary people to get in.

Secondly, Li Yaohua was busy with a thousand tasks, and with his workload never-ending, where would he find the time to look at high-tech gadgets?

Following Chen Jiajun into the interior of the Laboratory, Li Yaohua discovered that robots were shuttling back and forth everywhere.

Yet, he did not see a single real research staff member.

Even though Li Yaohua had seen the Intelligent Robots created by Ao En, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

"Big Boss, you say if..." Li Yaohua couldn't help but ask.

Chen Jiajun knew what Li Yaohua wanted to say; it was nothing more than seeing these robots work efficiently and easily, and he couldn't help but want to promote this stuff to his Presidential Office.

That way, he wouldn't need to use so many redundant employees to handle things.

However, Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. These robots cannot achieve full intelligence. The reason they have this performance is because of Ao En himself! Once these robots leave Ao En's vicinity, the intelligence they possess is no different from those in factories."

"What a pity!" Li Yaohua shook his head quite regretfully.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, take it slow, it will all come."

As the two talked and laughed, they walked into the Laboratory.

Led by a robot, the two arrived at a laboratory room.

At this time, Ao En was wearing a white coat and researching something; seeing Chen Jiajun and Li Yaohua arrive together, he immediately put down what he was doing and walked over: "Boss, how do you have the time to come over?"

Chen Jiajun said to Ao En with annoyance: "You really know how to slack off!"

Ao En chuckled: "Those guys I recruited are clumsy, so I just built a few more robots to facilitate research!"

"I see that most of the research funding has been taken by you, kid, to build robots!" Chen Jiajun looked at the various sizes and models of robots in the Orn Laboratory, speechless.

One must know that the profits of Shenzhou Technology were terrifying; apart from marketing, all funds were dumped into the Laboratory.

The Laboratory could be said to be quite wealthy.

Having his little secret exposed, Ao En scratched his head in embarrassment and asked: "Boss, is there something important today that you've come to see me about?"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "I need a set of Surveillance Technology from you that can accurately identify people in a crowd."

After hearing this, Ao En immediately laughed: "That's simple!"

Li Yaohua, standing to the side, was dumbfounded: "It's really possible?"

One must know that if Ao En's technology could really achieve this, then there would be no fear of those rats hiding in the shadows causing trouble.

Ao En nodded and said: "Of course it's possible, it's just a matter of setting up a few more cameras; the most important thing is my Analysis System here. By the way, Boss, how many people will be at the celebration?"

Chen Jiajun glanced at Li Yaohua, and Li Yaohua estimated: "At least a few tens of thousands!"

"How... how many?" Ao En's eyes widened on the spot, and he said in shock.

Chen Jiajun frowned and asked: "What? Is there a difficulty?"

"Boss, our computers aren't enough to process such massive data!" Ao En said with a bitter face: "To process such large data, I reckon we'd need a Supercomputer!"

"Get lost, where am I supposed to get a Supercomputer for you?" Chen Jiajun said with annoyance: "However, what if I have the data of some people and need your system to find them?"

Ao En immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If I have their data, then there's no problem. I'll just input it into the computer for comparison; in that case, the system can barely handle it."

"That's good, I'll have Silva send the data to you later!" Chen Jiajun nodded.

His Information Officers had long since recorded the spies who had infiltrated Brunei.

Plus the information Lao E found in the brains of some of those spies, it wouldn't be difficult to get the data on these guys who were ready to cause trouble at any time.

When the time comes, as long as they dare to appear on the day of the celebration, Ao En would be able to notify the Political Department to make arrests.

In this way, the security personnel could be freed up to deal with any potential crises that might arise.

On the day of the celebration, Li Yaohua dragged his "sick body" to meet the representatives from every province of Kalimantan Island.

Calling them representatives, they were actually the local warlords.

These guys wanted to take this opportunity to see what Li Yaohua's situation really was.

After all, Li Yaohua's iron-fisted methods were well-known here; if he didn't die, no one else dared to move.

On the eve of the celebration, Li Yaohua received them at the Presidential Palace.

As soon as they entered the door, these warlords saw Li Yaohua walking in with a staggering gait and a weak face.

"Mr. President!" Even facing Li Yaohua who was about to "go into the ground," these people still stood up to greet him.

After all, they had endured for such a long time; these clever people wouldn't drop the ball at a critical moment.

"Everyone sit!" Li Yaohua sat down with the help of an assistant, his gray-white hair looking extremely glaring.

"Mr. President, your health..." Peixin Huding asked, pretending to be concerned.

Li Yaohua smiled and said casually: "It's nothing, just caught a cold, a small problem!"

Although Li Yaohua said so, he soon began to cough violently.

That heart-wrenching appearance could not be explained by an "accidental cold."

The group of warlords saw the situation before them, exchanged glances, and their eyes were full of smiles.

After the coughing eased a bit, Li Yaohua continued: "Today is the celebration day, and you are all representatives of each province; I hope to reach some agreements with you all."

Hearing Li Yaohua's words, everyone was startled, but they soon calmed down.

Although they knew Li Yaohua definitely wanted to take advantage of the celebration to seize their power, as long as this guy Li Yaohua wouldn't live much longer, then this agreement could be treated as nothing.

So, one by one, they went from initial shock to a calm expression.

"I wonder what kind of agreement Mr. President wants to sign?" Peixin Huding asked directly.

Li Yaohua scanned everyone and said: "I intend to disband the private armed forces of each province; after all, our Brunei is a country, and having private armed forces is not appropriate in terms of reason or law!"

"But Mr. President, how then are we to guarantee the safety of our property?" a local warlord immediately stood up to ask.

They knew who they were dealing with; if they were too cooperative about things like disbanding private militias, they would certainly let Li Yaohua sense something.

Therefore, someone had to stand up and express opposition.

Li Yaohua let out a cold snort and said: "Balin, besides private militias, there is also the law of Brunei! What, you hold the power of a private militia, are you planning to rebel?"

The local warlord named Balin did not dare to clash head-on with Li Yaohua and hurriedly backed down: "Mr. President, that is not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean? Hmm?" Li Yaohua stared sharply at Balin.

Balin was on the verge of breaking into a cold sweat and could only lower his head and say: "I... am willing to sign the agreement."

"Very good!" Li Yaohua smiled slightly and said indifferently: "You are all subjects under my rule in Brunei, so naturally I will not let you all suffer losses! The private militias in your hands must be disbanded, and then I will allocate funds to the Police Station in each region to increase manpower, so as to ensure the safety of your lives and property!"

"Wait until you can live until that time to say that!" the group of local warlords sneered incessantly in their hearts.

However, on the surface, they still appeared very submissive.

Sure enough, a moment later, Wu Yisheng came looking for him: "Mr. President, it is time for you to take your medicine!"

"I know, I'm coming right away." Li Yaohua nodded, then said to the crowd: "Let's discuss this matter in detail after the celebration!"

The crowd stood up to see him off, but each of them wore a strange smile on their faces.

Li Yaohua followed Wu Yisheng to the medical room; this was a place specifically for Li Yaohua to rest.

After lying down, Wu Yisheng began to prepare the medicine that Li Yaohua needed to take.

It was just that because he was too nervous, cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead.

Li Yaohua chuckled and said: "Old Wu, you've been with me for a few years now, haven't you?"

"Yes... yes!" Wu Yisheng said with a slight stutter.

"Then you should know that I am a person who values old ties. Is there something you should be telling me?" Li Yaohua looked at Wu Yisheng with burning eyes.

Hearing this, Wu Yisheng's face changed drastically, then he knelt down before Li Yaohua with a "thump" and begged incessantly: "Mr. President, it is not that I wanted to betray you, it is those people who kidnapped my wife and daughter and wanted me to swap one of your medications."

Hearing Wu Yisheng's confession, Li Yaohua was not angry, but rather felt gratified.

Although Wu Yisheng had indeed effectively betrayed him, he had still told the truth when asked.

It seemed that he did not rely solely on violence to rule Brunei.

So Li Yaohua smiled and said: "Rest assured, I know your difficulties, and I have no intention of blaming you! But next time you encounter something like this, tell me directly; my men have already rescued your wife and daughter!"

Hearing Li Yaohua's words, Wu Yisheng naturally widened his eyes.

Then he slapped himself hard a few times and kowtowed to Li Yaohua several times.

Li Yaohua stopped his self-harming behavior: "That's enough, just continue doing your job. After the celebration ends, go to the Second Hospital and become a vice president!"

Although Li Yaohua appeared to have promoted Wu Yisheng, he had actually transferred him away from his side.

Li Yaohua was a mature politician; he could forgive Wu Yisheng's actions.

But in terms of reason and sentiment, he would not keep someone who had betrayed him by his side again.

Wu Yisheng clearly understood this logic as well; he nodded without saying anything, bowed to Li Yaohua, and turned to leave. (End of chapter)
