Chapter 21 Intermission

  "You're kidding, right? You just got 50,000 points and you're saying you want to use that many? Are you joking with me?" Gao Yang said suspiciously.

  "Although you don't believe it, these things indeed consume that much." Yuanyuan said with a tone of "you can believe it or not".

  "Let's set off," said Gaoyang with a sigh. There was no way around it; without a starting point, he couldn't do anything on his own.

  Back in Africa's original timeline, at a villa in a mining town, Yuan point shielded the surveillance and began to infiltrate the network.

  Sitting on the sofa looking at another self in front of him, Gao Yang felt very uncomfortable. Soon, Yuan's voice rang out "It's done, the CIA surveillance team is ready to leave."

  "Destroy the clone." Gaoyang sighed and said. Although it's awkward, but to avoid any danger, it still has to be done.

  Watching his clone disappear, Gao Yang suddenly felt a hollow feeling in his heart, as if he was missing something. This feeling was really bad.

  "Recovery complete, 2750 energy points consumed." Yuandian said to Gaoyang.

  "Is this also going to cost energy points?" Gao Yang was anxious, having used over 8,000 energy points to evade the CIA's surveillance. "Do you think I earn energy points easily?"

  "You can also do it yourself." The original point's answer made Gao Yang speechless for a moment, how could he bear to kill himself? It's all the fault of those damn CIA, you wait and see!

  Mercenaries drove Gaoyang to Libreville, and then Gaoyang flew to Beijing to visit his parents. With great enthusiasm, Gaoyang accompanied his parents to climb the Great Wall, stroll through the Forbidden City, have meals together and chat, it's been several months since they last met and he really misses them.

  In the evening, they returned to the villa together and watched TV for a while. Gaoyang then went back to his room to take a bath and prepare for bed. This period of time has been very stressful, it's rare to have an opportunity to relax.

  Feeling comfortable and relaxed after a hot bath, he came to the bedside to sleep. Suddenly, Yuan's voice rang out "Someone is monitoring here." Gao Yang's body stiffened, "Didn't you say you've already taken care of the CIA?" Gao Yang said angrily. So much energy was spent but it still wasn't resolved?

  "A few seconds later, 'It's not CIA, it's a private detective from Beijing.' Yuan Dian explained."

  Gao Yang let out a slight sigh of relief. Suddenly he became angry and said, "Can't you just leave me alone? Why are so many people staring at me? I'm not a panda!"

  Gao Yang put on his clothes without alarming his parents, and brought several bodyguards to quickly run to the coordinates given by Yuan Dian. At the corner of the street, a black Buick business car was caught on the spot, and three private detectives were arrested.

  "I'm giving you two options. One is that you tell me who hired you and what you've found out, and I'll give you 200,000 yuan. The other option..." Gaoyang said, nodding towards the several burly bodyguards beside him, "is to let these gentlemen have a private chat with you. Don't worry about medical expenses, I'll take care of them. And don't mention your professional ethics!"

  Gao Yang stormed back into his room, the wound that had been forcibly suppressed was reopened! The rich and handsome man who had taken away his ex-girlfriend was secretly investigating him! At first, he was happy to see that his ex-girlfriend was doing well, thinking that it was all over since they had once loved each other, so he didn't go after the rich man for revenge. Who would have thought that instead of him going after the rich man, the rich man came after him first!

  "Origin, analyze why he targeted me?" Gaoyang was very curious about the motivation of the high-rich-handsome guy.

  "The most likely scenario is that the first time you teleported, those thugs saw you suddenly disappear at the scene and reported it to the rich guy. Then when you appeared again in the bar, it must have raised his suspicions, so he had someone investigate you." Yuan explained.

  Sitting on the edge of the bed, Gaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Help me investigate his identity." After a brief silence, he whispered, "Also, check if she's doing well?"

  The next morning, Gao Yang went to a famous high-end jewelry store in the northern capital to buy a ring. His parents' 30th wedding anniversary was approaching, and Gao Yang planned to buy a pair of couple rings as a gift for his parents. After selecting a pair of rings worth over 300,000 yuan and packaging them, he swiped his card and prepared to go home, but unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

  Li Yuan, the flight attendant he used to date, was someone Gao Yang had a good impression of at the time. It's just that they hadn't been in touch for several months and he didn't expect to run into her here, but Gao Yang didn't go up to greet her. Li Yuan was leaning on a tall and handsome guy, selecting rings at the wedding ring counter, with a radiant smile on her face!

  Gaoyang smiled silently and turned away.

  On the way back, Gao Yang felt a sharp pain in his chest. Although he didn't want to admit it, the flight attendant was just someone he had a drink with, what right did he have to be jealous? When he woke up in the morning, Yuan said that his ex-girlfriend was very happy and no longer worked, she was preparing for her wedding with a rich and handsome man!

  Originally, the wealthy and handsome Gao Yang had thought of revenge, but in the end he gave up, telling himself "I used to love her." Wishing her happiness. Unexpectedly, he saw another flight attendant who seemed nice throwing herself into someone else's arms! These two things happening together made Gao Yang a bit emotionally out of control.

  Back home, laughing and giving gifts to parents, saying words of blessing, then returned to his own room. Closing the door, the smile on his face disappeared, lit a cigarette, and smoked one after another. Halfway through, Gao Yang's voice echoed "Am I not very failed? Not even love? Is being handsome that good?" Yuandian said in a sincere tone "Only when you show off your wealth, women who want to throw themselves into your arms can fill the front yard. And I can provide cloning service for you, as long as there is DNA reference material, hair, fingernails, anything will do, and any woman can be cloned. Who do you want? Absolutely obedient to orders!"

  "What I want is feelings, you idiot." Although still a bit sad, Gao Yang felt much better.

  "Am I handsome?"

  "You're not ugly!"

  Yuandian registered multiple companies in Bermuda, Bahamas and other places under the name of Gao Yang through the Internet. Later, an SC import and export trading company was established in Beijing, after which Gao Yang came to the People's Bank Gold and Silver Bureau.

  After presenting the certificate of five and a half tons of gold to the reception staff, Director Niu of the Gold and Silver Bureau personally received Gao Yang. En, the money laundering program was all completed on the internet from scratch.

  "Mr. Gao, you mean to say that you want to store these gold reserves in our country's central bank?" asked Director Niu.

  "Yes, I have my own gold mine, not just this gold, but also the gold that will be mined in the future, all of which I intend to store in your country." He paused and then said "I hate the Federal Reserve."

  The staff of the Tianjin branch of the People's Bank received this batch of gold on a foreign cargo ship at Tianjin Port, and after verification, Gao Yang signed an agreement with the People's Bank. Gao Yang stored the gold in the People's Bank, limiting its use to domestic purposes only. After Gao Yang used the People's Bank's special checks to purchase domestic products, the People's Bank would deduct the corresponding amount from the stored gold based on the closing price of international gold prices on that day.

  Putting aside emotional matters for the time being, Gao Yang wholeheartedly threw himself into the joy of shopping.

  First of all, it's the steel mill. The coal in Feng County has piled up like a mountain, and the steel mill, which is the foundation of industry, must be opened. Through the origin search, two small indigenous steel mills that were ordered to stop production in a certain province in the south were purchased with a full set of equipment, with an annual output of nearly 900,000 tons. The local government even gave away a full set of installation equipment to sell these devices. Then, the entire device of a small coking plant was bought out, and after four sets of 220MW thermal power generators, the origin told Gao Yang that there was almost no money left.

  "Are you kidding me? Tens of billions?! You've just bought a little something and it's all gone?" Gao Yang couldn't believe the money was spent so quickly.

  "These are all eliminated products, and they haven't even bought wastewater treatment equipment, which is still discounted. You've already made a profit. If you take it back to 1924, it's absolutely the most advanced steel and coking joint enterprise in the world." Yuandian explained.

  Gao Yang shut his mouth, not saying anything else. He thought he was quite rich now, if he hadn't taken the hard currency to the People's Bank, how would Director Niu have agreed to meet him? Still far from it. Gao Yang's slightly agitated heart finally calmed down.

  "Contact the shipping company, pack and ship to Africa. By the way, what about the workers?" Gao Yang asked.

  "Use the biochemical warriors as technical backbones, recruit local people as apprentices. To instill knowledge into the biochemical warriors, you need to work harder to earn energy points," said Yuan Dian.

  "Is there another task?"

  "After nominally unifying Anhui Province, the long-term task of unifying the country has begun. Whether it's actual control or nominal ownership, every time you get a city, you'll get a certain number of energy points." Gaoyang's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. The origin continued, "Each city can only obtain energy points once."

  "Hurry back home," Gao Yang said.

  After spending a few days with his parents at home, Gao Yang bid farewell to his parents on the grounds of going out. In his parents' caring voices, he rushed to Africa and then shuttled to 1924.

  In the days when Gao Yang was waiting in the original time and space, the changes in Beidu were staged with a loud noise.

  On the evening of October 22, at midnight, General Feng's subordinate Lu Zhonglin arrived at Andingmen, and under the order of Sun Yue, the commander of the Northern Capital Defense Command, the city gate was opened, and the city was safely controlled overnight. On October 25, the National Army publicly elected General Feng as the Commander-in-Chief of the National Army and concurrently the Commander of the First Army, with Hu Jingyi and Sun Yue as Deputy Commanders, respectively concurrently commanding the Second and Third Armies. At the same time, it was decided to send a telegram inviting Mr. Sun to come north to discuss strategies for national salvation, and to invite General Duan to enter Beijing. The government of President Cao, which was elected through bribery, was declared illegal and abolished, with President Cao being imprisoned. Huang Fu was appointed as the interim regent, exercising presidential powers.

  The commander-in-chief was caught off guard, with his troops surrounded on three sides and the sea at their back, falling into a desperate situation. The morale of the direct army collapsed, either surrendering or dispersing. The commander-in-chief fled to Tianjin to seek foreign intervention. General Duan met with the commander-in-chief and advised him to temporarily retire. The commander-in-chief handed over all his troops and supplies to General Duan and left Tianjin by boat.

  On November 5th at 9:00 am, General Feng's subordinate, the commander of the Beiping garrison, Lu Zhonglin, led his troops into the Forbidden City with loaded guns. On General Feng's orders, they drove out the last emperor, Puyi. The entire process took only a little over two hours. At 4:10 pm, after Lu Zhonglin had drastically revised the preferential treatment conditions, he coerced Puyi and his imperial family members to leave the palace. The small court that had existed for 13 years since the Republic of China was established came to an end.
