Chapter 43 : Where did this thing come from?

Hearing this, Shen He not only didn’t breathe a sigh of relief but his whole body tensed up. Gritting his teeth, he pulled her to continue walking into the house.

The old house of the rich man Huang was very large, and there were countless rooms inside.

Most of the villagers gathered in the front yard, while the house in the backyard was relatively dilapidated, and there was no one around.

Shen He found a room and took her inside.

There was only a “clang” sound, the door being locked.

It was still raining heavily outside, and the tile roof was crackling.

The room was dark and unclear, but Su Ranran could feel the man’s sharp gaze.

Su Ranran knew what these actions meant, but she didn’t regret it. She met his eyes with some stubbornness.

Shen He didn’t speak but took out the item she had just stuffed into her pocket.

“What is this?”

At first glance, the thing in his hand looked like a toy ball, but it was not that simple when looked at closely.

The strange material made it impossible to see it as a real ball.

What’s more, the ball had a pattern that seemed to have a switch?

Su Ranran reached out, took the ball from his hand, pressed the switch, and the next second, the ball turned into a lifebuoy.

“This is a buoyant ball. Press the switch and it turns into a small lifebuoy. The buoyancy can carry an adult man.”

This thing actually doesn’t have much technological content. The only precious part is the material used to make the ball.

Although the lifebuoy isn’t big, its buoyancy is impressive. It won’t sink in water.

Shen He took the lifebuoy and studied it over and over again. He found that this thing is indeed very simple. Pressing the switch again, it could turn back into an inconspicuous ball.

“How do you have something like this?” Shen He asked, surprised.

Such a delicate item could not be produced in the entire country.

“I’ll tell you later.” Su Ranran replied in a low voice, looking at the house on the left.

Upon hearing this, Shen He’s expression turned serious, knowing this item was extraordinary.

After a pause, he returned the ball to her, saying, “You keep this thing. I can guarantee my safety.”

Shen He had already been very skilled before drinking the water. After drinking it, he felt his physical fitness had reached a new level.

But the scene of him being washed away by the flood in his past life had become Su Ranran’s inner demon. How could she be at ease?

Suddenly thinking of something, she said, “Take off this uniform.”

Hearing this, Shen He’s eyes froze, and his expression became slightly strange.

It was as if he didn’t understand why she wanted him to take off his clothes when they were having such a serious conversation.

Su Ranran: …

Realizing that her words were ambiguous, Su Ranran’s face became hot. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Shen He start unbuttoning his clothes.

He was tall, probably over 1.8 meters, and the military uniform fit him perfectly, making him look tall and straight.

At this moment, watching him unbutton the discipline buttons of his uniform, one word flashed through Su Ranran’s mind: Uniform temptation!

Just thinking about this made her face turn even hotter, and she awkwardly looked away.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ranran heard Shen He’s somewhat hoarse voice.

“Okay.”

At these words, Su Ranran subconsciously looked at him.

What she saw was the man’s bulging chest muscles hidden beneath his military green vest. It might have been because of the rain, but the man’s chest and well-defined abdominal muscles were clearly visible.

The hormonal scent that hit her face made Su Ranran dazed.

Blinking, she pretended to be calm and said, “Give me the clothes you took off.”

Shen He didn’t understand but still handed over the military uniform in his hand.

Su Ranran took the uniform and took out two small gadgets from her pocket, pinning them on the inside of the shoulders of the uniform.

Shen He didn’t know what these gadgets were, but his intuition told him that they were not simple. After all, the little ball from earlier was quite impressive.

Su Ranran quickly pinned two anti-drowning devices to his clothes and then told him, “Press it when you’re in danger.”

These small, well-hidden pieces of black technology could save lives in critical moments.

As she said that, Su Ranran demonstrated it to him again. As soon as the button was pressed, an entire inflatable device filled the shoulder area.

Needless to say, the buoyancy was impressive.

Even though Shen He knew this thing was no ordinary gadget, he was still left stunned and speechless. He quickly reached out and put the device away, his face showing a serious expression.

“How many of these things do you have?” Shen He’s voice was slightly strained.

“A lot.”

Su Ranran said seriously but didn’t reveal anything more impressive.

But even just the two black-tech gadgets she had taken out were already shocking enough!

Shen He couldn’t help but wonder: Was his wife an alien?

How else could she possess such incredible items?

The room fell silent again.

Shen He stared at the two devices on his shoulders, his face filled with shock as his worldview crumbled.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but when Su Ranran started to feel uneasy, the man finally spoke.

“Ranran, I don’t know what you have, but I hope you don’t use these things anymore.”

Su Ranran was a little surprised by this.

“You… don’t doubt me?”

Given his identity, he should suspect her of being a spy, right?

Hearing this, Shen He looked helpless.

What spy would be so foolish as to give him these incredible items to use? And also for his family?

Thinking about the strange Li Xueqiu, although the conclusion seemed unbelievable, it was probably the truth.

There were things in this world beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and Li Xueqiu and his wife had both encountered opportunities. Li Xueqiu’s inexplicable meats and snacks that couldn’t possibly come from China had already attracted the attention of the higher-ups.

The things his wife possessed were even more extraordinary. If they were discovered, the consequences would be catastrophic!

“Promise me you’ll hide these things and not take them out again,” Shen He said with a serious expression.

Facing his stern eyes, Su Ranran’s heart trembled. But more than that, she was moved.

She didn’t know why she had revealed her most powerful secret so easily, even though the time they had spent together in their past life had been brief. But there was an instinct within her that made her feel she could trust him completely.

And he truly was just as she had sensed. Even in the face of such miracles, he still prioritized her safety.

What virtue did she have to deserve this?

Thinking of this, Su Ranran couldn’t help but throw herself into the arms still damp from the rain.

“I just want you to be safe,” Su Ranran said in a muffled voice, burying her head in his chest.

At this moment, did Shen He not understand?

Something must have happened to him in her dream, which had made her rely on these miraculous things to protect him without hesitation. 

Feeling the trembling of the little woman in his arms, Shen He felt a deep, indescribable pain in his heart.
