Xiao Jiu heard this and nodded silently. This kid is not bad; he knows what he wants to do but is afraid it might be awkward, so he used breakfast to ease the embarrassment.

Ye Hao was fussing around in the kitchen for a while when suddenly the doorbell rang outside. Ye Hao wondered, what's going on at this hour? Who's there?

Ye Hao wiped his hands and went out, looking apologetically at Xiao Jiu before going to open the door.

Ye Hao approached the door and opened the black wallpaper. Upon seeing Ji Keci, Ye Hao felt helpless, too. This is way too timely, isn't it? Two people arriving together? Is this a deliberate attempt to embarrass me?

After opening the door, Ye Hao leaned on it without letting Ji Keci in and, with a smile, asked, "Miss Ji, what is your intention in disturbing me early in the morning? If there's nothing important, you should head back."

Ji Keci seemed a bit awkward, thighs clamped together, face flush red, as she asked, "Can you let me in first?"

"Why?" Ye Hao looked at Ji Keci and wondered, why are you embarrassed this early morning? Face red? Why sway your hips?

"Ugh, I can't explain, let me in first." Ji Keci pushed past Ye Hao and hurried inside, asking loudly as she ran, "Where's the bathroom?"

Ye Hao was helpless with her rushing in so directly, but upon hearing Ji Keci's question, he realized why she was acting awkward and shouted loudly, "Bottom of the stairs to the right of the hall..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Keci sped inside, started unbuttoning before even closing the door properly. The scene almost made Ye Hao have a nosebleed, thankfully Ji Keci realized the door wasn't shut and quickly closed it tighter.

Xiao Jiu also heard Ji Keci's voice but didn't turn around. Instead, he contemplated how to ask Ye Hao about weapon research without making Ji Keci secretly mock him, considering Huaxia a country without capabilities despite having data and blueprints without practical weapon research results.

But he didn't know Ji Keci came today to ask Ye Hao about specific methods for weapon development; the weapon data and blueprints were researched by his family but didn't have the expected power, although precision was excellent.

"Well Ye, she's here, does it affect anything?" Xiao Jiu pulled Ye Hao aside as he headed back to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Haha, Xiao, her coming doesn't affect you, does it? Not to brag, but as for weapons, even if it were handed to a military factory in the United States known as the Five Mighty Engines, they wouldn't figure out what's wrong." Ye Hao said with a laugh.

Xiao Jiu nodded, thinking maybe he was overthinking.

Ye Hao went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, when his phone rang with Ji Keci's name. He was surprised but quickly understood. He forgot to put toilet paper on the first floor.

Ye Hao then took a roll of toilet paper to Ji Keci, and when Ji Keci saw it was toilet paper, her face flushed bright red. From inside the bathroom, she asked, "Ye Hao, can you do me a favor?"

Ye Hao was about to leave when he heard, turning his head curiously, "Why?"

"Help me... ugh, can you call Miss Lin down for me?" Ji Keci, hugely embarrassed inside the bathroom, wishes she could find a hole to hide in.

"Damn! Are you crazy? It's so early; I dare not wake them up." Ye Hao shook his head, thinking it dangerous to disturb the two young ladies' sweet dreams during a rare holiday.

"You... just help!" Ji Keci couldn't bring herself to say it out loud, only wanting Ye Hao to rouse Lin Ruyu...

"Are you nuts? Disturbing sweet dreams in the early morning, I'm not that bad, call her yourself." Ye Hao said and was about to leave.

"Ye Hao... then... can you borrow a sanitary pad for me from Miss Lin?" Ji Keci felt like she fell powerless in the bathroom after uttering these words.

"Damn... A headline for the day." Ye Hao cursed under his breath, but to prevent Ji Keci from further embarrassment, he hesitantly ascended to Lin Ruyu's room.

Footsteps silent up the second floor, opening the door, carefully approaching the target...

Ye Hao searched and finally found it, but at this moment, Lin Ruyu woke up sleepily and called when she saw Ye Hao shuffling around.

"Ye Hao..."

"Ah!" Ye Hao was startled, his hand trembled, and the sanitary pad fell to the ground.

Su Qing was also awakened by Ye Hao's shout, both staring at the fallen item on the floor...

Realizing it was their intimate protection, both women's faces blushed with anger, thinking Ye Hao had some peculiar habit. He's so unworthy; for women's things, he sneaks around...

"Let me explain, it's not..." Ye Hao hurriedly tried to explain seeing their expressions turn urgent.

"No need to explain, can't believe you're such a man, pathetic, disgusting, vile." Lin Ruyu threw a pillow at him, wishing to beat Ye Hao up.

In the past, Ye Hao was always well-behaved and never entered their room. Even if he did, it was with their permission. But now Ye Hao sneaking in to take their sanitary pads? How could they not be upset?

"Ye, I misjudged you. You're just a sleazy loser. Get out," Su Qing said, her pretty face turning cold as she looked at Ye Hao.

Ye Hao felt a lack of love, all because of Ji Keci. How to explain this now? Any explanation in this situation feels so weak...

"Alright! I'm leaving now." Ye Hao said and walked out, but then thought that it's already a misunderstanding here with Lin Ruyu, can't let Ji Keci misunderstand too, right? So he quickly turned back, picked up the pack that had fallen on the floor, and left.

"Ah! Damn it, I've had enough of you," Lin Ruyu roared on the bed.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, Ye Hao used an Instant Flash to shut the door and then headed downstairs.

Both Lin Ruyu and Su Qing were so angry their faces turned blue, gritting their teeth secretly, yet inside feeling disappointed. Such a man...

Ye Hao went downstairs and threw it to Ji Keci, then said with a hum: "Later, you explain to Lin Ruyu them, I was misunderstood by them when taking this thing."

After saying this, Ye Hao left, thinking that hearing this Ji Keci would definitely explain to Lin Ruyu, and with her explanation, Lin Ruyu naturally wouldn't misunderstand him anymore.

Ji Keci, in the bathroom, heard Ye Hao's words, hesitated for a moment, then a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes. Why explain? Isn't a misunderstanding better? This way you'll leave Lin Ruyu...

Ji Keci firmly shook her head.

Ye Hao saw Xiao Jiu had cleaned up his breakfast, politely asked: "Xiao, would you like another bowl?"

"No, no, Ye, this is enough, enough, eating any more will make me fat." Xiao Jiu waved his hands repeatedly.

At this time, Ji Keci also came out from the bathroom, and the three of them sat together to study what's wrong with the weapons. On the second floor loft, four eyes stared intently at the back of Ye Hao's head.

While talking about the shortcomings of the weapon with Xiao Jiu, Ye Hao felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"According to you, our domestic springs can't achieve effective functioning?" Xiao Jiu, listening to Ye Hao's explanation, understood that Ye Hao meant springs produced domestically were strong but couldn't unleash the most potent force effectively.

"Yes! These springs are about the same as those of the M82A1 sniper rifle, but the springs for M82A1 are too expensive. Of course, I know there's a mineral that can be refined to make the most suitable springs. However, this mineral is being mined illegally in large quantities by someone, and I'm not from a geological management department, so when I ask others, they don't respond." Ye Hao smiled.

He didn't forget what Falcon mentioned before, that their organization is researching a rare mineral, something he had considered for a long time. What's valued highly by the God underground organization might be useful to him too, but without a reason, he couldn't get involved.

Now Xiao Jiu lacks materials for springs. Ye Hao reminded him, and if he's concerned, he'll definitely investigate.

Ye Hao doesn't know what these minerals are, just that instead of letting the underground organization get fat, it's better to cause damage, preventing them from proceeding as planned.

"Oh? This kind of mineral..." Xiao Jiu wanted to ask but held back the impulse upon seeing Ji Keci nearby, as such illegal mining sites, once purchased by Ji Keci's family, could be mined openly, and even if the nation watched them mine, there'd be no reason to stop them.

"Haha, this type of mineral is of no use in your hands. I previously imported a batch of machines that can forge springs from this mineral, but unfortunately, I don't have such mineral materials. So, gentlemen, I'm powerless." Ye Hao laughed.

Ji Keci, at this moment, nodded understandingly, knowing Ye Hao meant that her Ji Family, without substantial influence in Huaxia, couldn't possibly compete for such a mineral against the vast nation, so she chose to avoid it, letting Xiao Jiu strive for it.

"Then I'll head back and think of another way." Ji Keci said and was about to leave, making Ye Hao's eyes bulge in anxiety.

Once Ji Keci had gone far, Ye Hao sat down despondently, it seems the misunderstanding with Lin Ruyu would continue.

"Ye, is it convenient now? What about... her?" Xiao Jiu watched Ye Hao sit down and asked with a smile.

"Xiao, you don't have to think too much. I indeed gave her a set of data and blueprints, but her set is incomparable to yours, moreover her funds enabled the batch of machines, so giving her a set of data and blueprints is just a compensation to the Ji Family." Ye Hao said with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Then the mineral you mentioned...where is it?" Xiao Jiu was interested in what Ye Hao said about the mineral, fully aware of how rampant those people wandering on the legal border could be.

"Haha, it's in Changbai Mountain, Shandong Province. If you have people investigate, it's best not to alert the geology department, you understand." Ye Hao reminded Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu nodded with a troubled face, as a patriotic person, he naturally couldn't stand those who sell their country... (To be continued.
