Chapter 239: Night of Despair

The visitor's name is Shen Fei. He is a senior who Xu Yunhe met at Jingzhou University. He is a standard man in science and engineering. He has achieved a number of world-class research results during his college years. He was offered an olive branch by top foreign universities right after graduation. He studied abroad while studying new technologies. Energy and self-circulation issues are now also patented.

The country knew that he was a talented person and hired him to return to the country with a high salary. However, he took no money from him and said he wanted to serve the motherland.

The motherland also attached great importance to him and gave him national treasure status, allowing him to develop a new energy cycle system called 'Genesis' without any worries.

Xu Yunhe made an appointment with him because of Genesis.

The two sat down at a barbecue stall next to the pier. It was getting late. While the stall owner was grilling meat for them, he looked at the strong wind and considered whether to close the stall early.

As several tables of dockworkers sat down around them, the boss decided to sell out today’s supplies before leaving!

"Have you read the plan I sent you?" Xu Yunhe saw that the senior was having a hard time opening the beer, so he simply took it over and used chopsticks to cut off the beer cap.

Shen Fei gave her a thumbs up, “The plan is great! The first time 'Genesis' came out, it was used in the world's number one port. I was crazy after seeing it!"

"Then let's cooperate!" Xu Yunhe toasted to him with a beer bottle, “Let's build the world's first port together!"

Shen Fei laughed, “Wow! Number one in the world, the plate is huge. Are you so strong now? If you can really eat it, I will cook with you!"

"Don't worry, senior, I have a professional team behind me, and I'm not the only one!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. Xu Da Niu from Jingzhou is really not an easy person!"

Xu Yunhe glared at him, “You haven't forgotten this title yet!"

"Hey, how could I forget my unique title?"

"I advise you to be kind and forget about it!"

"Here are the skewers!" The boss brought the skewers over and reminded them, “Eat it while it's hot! The wind is strong and it will cool down soon!"

Shen Fei happily ate skewers, but drank beer with a frown on his face.

Xu Yunhe thought of his previous description of alcohol as a drug and beer as horse urine, so he joked, “Senior, if you really can't drink it, don't drink it. I won't laugh at you."

Shen Fei shook his head, “Learning to drink is my new topic recently!"

Xu Yunhe had no choice but to let him go. It was a rare indulgence for him to drink directly from the bottle.

Shen Fei licked off a bunch of roasted pork belly and asked her, "I know you are married. Is it a marriage?"

Xu Yunhe tied up his wind-tossed hair again, “Yes, we are married. My husband is six years younger than me."

"You rich family is really boring, and neither are you! You flaunt yourself as a new era woman, do business, make a lot of money, and live without men. What's the result? Turn around and go for arranged marriages! This is a big feudal bad habit and feudal dross ah!"

Xu Yunhe looked at him in shock, “Yes, why didn't I think of that before!"

Shen Fei snorted, patted the table and said, “So, you must never say that you are a new era woman! Once you take the step of marriage, you will be extremely feudal! Just put all your previous achievements into Obliterated! It’s like Wu Zetian became emperor and was buried with Li Zhi as empress after her death. Wasn’t all her previous evolutions in vain?”

"Ha!" Xu Yunhe was amused by him, “Then how do you think I can live up to my evolution now?"

"Divorce!"

Xu Yunhe touched the wine bottle with him again, “Senior's words simply woke me up from my dream!"

"People with high IQs like me usually don't give advice. When they do give advice, they hit the nail on the head!"

Shen Fei drank another sip of wine, but the smell of horse urine still made him frown frequently.

The two of them sat there until it was completely dark and the boss closed the stall before leaving.

Xu Yunhe called a car for Shen Fei who was drunk. Before leaving, the senior held her hand reluctantly, “If you want to do it, be a woman of the new era! Divorce! Be yourself! I support you! My 'Genesis' 'Only for you!"

"Okay! New era women!" Xu Yunhe smiled and coaxed him, “Get in the car quickly!"

"A hug!"

With the strength of the wine, Shen Fei hugged Xu Yunhe and patted her on the back, “Goodbye, Sister Xu, senior, I will always support you!"

"Thank you, senior..." Xu Yunhe was filled with emotion as he recalled the time when the two met in college.

Watching Shen Fei's car drive away, Xu Yunhe could no longer maintain the smile on his face.

She took a deep breath, turned around and walked back to the construction site.

The lights at the construction site were turned on, and the excavators that were leveling the ground were getting off work one after another.

She came all the way to take some more terrain photos before it rained. Since she decided to do this project with Lu Mingmei, she was worried that she couldn't do some things herself.

While walking along the coastline and taking photos, the wind picked up and the waves hit the rocks on the shore.

The hanging light cords in some places were torn off by the wind, and some lighting spotlights went out one after another.

When the heavy rain suddenly fell, Xu Yunhe hurriedly ran outside.

Under her feet were construction debris from the construction site, rocks and invisible potholes. When she finally ran to the barbed wire fence, she discovered that the fence door had been locked!

She was a little panicked now. In the fierce wind and rain, she shook the iron door hard and shouted outside, “Is there someone! Is there someone! Someone is coming!"

The wind was howling, the rain was screaming, and her voice was like a match soaked by the heavy rain before it was lit, which was of no use at all.

Heavy raindrops hit her body and face, making her mouth and nose feel like wet paper. She could hardly breathe.

She tried shaking the iron door again, but still got no response.

Looking at the high wire fence, it was impossible to climb up. The first priority was to find a place to hide from the rain!

Thinking of passing a construction site shed just now, she ran towards the shed in the dark, against the strong wind and rain.

She fell several times before she found the iron shack. Fortunately, the shack was not locked. She went in and took a long time to catch her breath.

'Crack! 'A thunder!

It illuminated the entire bay, and Xu Yunhe was frightened.

Soaked and embarrassed, she quickly went to look for her phone, but when she took it out, she found that it was also soaked in water and could not be turned on.

Xu Yunhe was in despair. Did she have to hide here all night until the wind stopped and the rain stopped tomorrow and the workers came to work before she could escape?

But the weather in Haicheng was weird and abnormal. It was extremely hot during the day, a typhoon, a heavy rain, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees. She was not sure whether she, who was shivering with cold now, would fall ill here and lie down for a few days. No one will ever find out.

Just when she was thinking urgently about what to do, suddenly, the water flow spread to the instep of her feet.

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened the iron door of the work shed.

Through the rain curtain, she saw an endless, dark, turbulent, and bottomless ocean...
