Chapter 59 Duan Ming’s Identity Is Revealed!
Just when Duan Ming thought that the old man was deliberately making trouble for his previous rebuttal, the old man slowly told him the reason.
"This optical simulation device has been booked by someone else in advance, and there is only one in my store now. I have already received the deposit. If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you, but I can't pay the breach of contract fee, right?"
It turned out that there was such a reason. Duan Ming had misunderstood from the beginning!
The old man had already given them a weapon manufacturing blueprint, and the price of this optical simulation device was acceptable to Duan Ming.
When swiping the card, Duan Ming asked inadvertently: "The one who booked this optical simulation device must not be an ordinary person, right?"
The old man smiled and replied: "Isn't this kid from the Cheng family going to get married? The major families in the nearby star fields have also come here. This optical simulation device is a gift bought by the Han family of the seventh domain."
Duan Ming's arm holding the black gold card trembled, and he asked again after a moment.
"Do you know who the young master of the Duan family married?"
The old man obviously knew a lot about the Nigu Star Port, and smiled and said: "The girl from the Tang family! I held her when she was a child!"
"Where is she now, do you know!"
Duan Ming was a little excited, how could the old man not see it?
"Do you know the girl from the Tang family?"
After calming down, Duan Ming replied: "I know her, but I'm not familiar with her."
The old man narrowed his eyes and stared at Duan Ming's mask for a long time, as if he wanted to see through Duan Ming through the mask.
"Alas! Speaking of it, it's also hard for that girl. Who made the Tang family suffer! As a member of the family, even her life belongs to the family, let alone marriage?"
The old man's slightly meaningful words seemed to be waking Duan Ming up.
Because the optical simulation device was too large, Duan Ming and the other two could not take it away by manpower, so they filled in the coordinates of the area where the ice crystal beast was located and transported it by transport spacecraft.
"You are from the Seventh Domain? Aren't you also attending the wedding? To attend the wedding, you must have an invitation from the Cheng family. I have two extra invitations..."
Duan Ming was stunned, and almost subconsciously blurted out: "I'll buy it!"
The corners of the old man's mouth slightly raised.
"For the sake of the two ideas this girl just had, I'll give it to you!"
After that, the old man took out two folded invitations from his pocket and handed them to Duan Ming.
After receiving the invitation, Duan Ming bowed deeply to the old man.
"Thank you!"
The old man sat back in his seat and continued to study his drawings with his head down, without saying anything else.
After leaving the store, Jiang Yao said: "Boss, why does the old man seem to know our identity? He also gave us two invitations. Isn't it a trap?"
Duan Ming stared at the invitation in his hand.
"Will we know whether it is a trap or not in five days?"
Yes, even if it is a trap, how could Duan Ming not jump into it for Tang Yaqing?
...
Five days passed in a flash, and the wedding of the young master of the Cheng family came as scheduled.
Early in the morning, martial law was imposed in the core area of the entire Nigu Star Port. Starting from the streets a thousand meters away, people without invitations could not get close at all.
The soldiers of the Star Port were armed and responsible for checking the invitations of the guests and registering them.
Although there were only two invitations, Jiang Yao's father, as a giant in the catering industry of the Star Port, also received an invitation, but Duan Ming did not choose to go to the wedding with Jiang Yao and his son.
Duan Ming did not know what would happen at the wedding and what choice he would make. If something big happened, he did not want to involve Jiang Yao's father.
When Duan Ming and Bai Xianglu arrived at the checkpoint, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
"Please show us your invitations!"
The soldier's tone was cold, as if he was a machine without any emotion.
Duan Ming and Bai Xianglu handed over the invitation, and the soldier took it and scanned it with an instrument. The next moment, the soldier was startled and looked up at Duan Ming and Bai Xianglu.
"Are you from the Earth Star Research Institute?"
Duan Ming and Bai Xianglu were both stunned, but fortunately Duan Ming reacted quickly: "Yes, we are here on behalf of the Earth Star Research Institute."
After looking Duan Ming and Bai Xianglu up and down again, the soldier returned the invitation to Duan Ming, opened the roadblock, and let the two in.
Entering the core area, only some guests attending the wedding can be seen on the streets here occasionally, and ordinary people can't be seen at all.
"Hey! You're here early enough!"
A voice sounded not far away, and the short-lived two turned around and saw that it was the old man in the Dugu family's shop five days ago.
"Old man, are you from the Earth Star Research Institute?"
Duan Ming asked his question directly, and the old man smiled and replied: "Why? I don't look like it?"
The three of them walked all the way to the headquarters of the Cheng family. They encountered several surprise inspections on the way. It can be seen that the Cheng family attaches great importance to whether today's wedding can go smoothly.
"Old man, why do you want to help us?"
Duan Ming asked this question before arriving at the Cheng family headquarters.
The old man paused and said meaningfully: "If I don't help my own family, should I help outsiders?"
This sentence of "my own family" really made Duan Ming a little confused, but the old man's next low voice made Duan Ming enlightened.
"I didn't expect that you didn't die after being hit by dark matter. When this matter is done, find a chance to come to the Earth Star Research Institute to find me. You, an extra-staff researcher, should also do something for the institute."
After saying that, the old man tidied his clothes and walked towards the Cheng family headquarters.
"He, he recognized you?"
Bai Xianglu was no less shocked than Duan Ming.
Since they were already here, and the old man's words just now clearly showed that he was helping himself, Duan Ming didn't ask any more questions. Since he was here, could he just turn around and leave?
"Mr. Er! You are here!"
In front of the Cheng family headquarters, several direct descendants of the Cheng family were responsible for welcoming guests, and they called the old man Mr. Er.
"How can my Dugu family not come to join in the fun of the Cheng family's big happy event?"
Hearing the old man's words, those who did not recognize the old man's identity looked at him, including Duan Ming and his partner.
It turned out that this old man was Dugu Er, one of the four professors of the Dugu family at the Earth Star Research Institute, and the second oldest.
"Please come in, the head of the family is on the third floor, I will take you there."
Because of Dugu Er's appearance, Duan Ming and his partner hardly received anyone's attention when they entered the six-story building of the Cheng family headquarters.
On the first floor, this is the reception area, where drinks and desserts can be seen everywhere, and various bigwigs greet each other.
Bai Xianglu whispered to Duan Ming: "What should we do next?"
