The Snake King continued his cultivation, and He Tiantian, free from worries, fell asleep peacefully.

Those complicated matters should be left to adults like Qi Shuliang and Anna. They have the methods and manpower to handle them, they just lack accurate clues.

Sure enough, Qi Shuliang woke up from his dream in a cold sweat, his mind still replaying the dream.

When I was a child, I often heard people say that dreams are the opposite of reality, and that dreams are not real!

But why did he feel like the dream was reality just now?

Qi Shuliang attributed it to his daytime thoughts and nighttime dreams, and didn't take it to heart. With Anna's encouragement, he went back to sleep.

Yet, it was that kind of dream again.

This time, Qi Shuliang wasn't scared; this happened several times in a row.

Qi Shuliang felt that the dream was very complete and comprehensive, perhaps it was God helping him?

Why don't you give it a try?

He'll send someone to investigate during the day. If it's true, he can wipe them out in one fell swoop and eliminate any future trouble.

Once those people realize that Qi Shuliang is not someone to be trifled with, they won't act so recklessly.

Qi Shuliang's men, after investigating for two days, brought back useful information.

Because it was a dream, and Huo Yingjun was in it, Qi Shuliang told Huo Yingjun about the investigation he had conducted over the past two days, and they prepared to discuss a solution that would solve the problem once and for all!

“Mr. Qi, we need to take a two-pronged approach. First, we need to defuse their arrogance, and then we can negotiate head-on,” Huo Yingjun suggested. “If we rely solely on violence, you will be in the open while they are in the shadows, which will be disadvantageous to you.”

“Yes, there’s an old saying: it’s not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you. If we can’t suppress them head-on, we certainly won’t have peace of mind,” Qi Shuliang said. “However, the foundation for open negotiations lies in whether covert strikes are effective!”

Huo Yingjun smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, since you've thought of everything so thoroughly, this matter will surely be resolved as soon as possible."

"I hope so!" Qi Shuliang nodded.

Next, Huo Yingjun and Qi Shuliang sent men to fight together, directly taking down two outposts and one headquarters, injuring many people but not killing any, and obtaining a lot of secret information. Then, American police cars arrived with sirens blaring and arrested more than eighty people.

Although a few of them went out to gather information and were not caught, they were wanted throughout the city.

This time it can be considered a great victory!

With the official interrogation, the United States obtained a lot of clues and evidence, and realized that someone was undermining the hard-won and fragile diplomatic relationship between China and the United States.

Their president visited China at the beginning of last month and made significant diplomatic progress.

Anna's father had many close relationships with wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials in the United States.

Qi Shuliang is a representative figure of Chinese Americans and a representative of the Chinese American Dream.

Furthermore, from the perspective of America's fundamental interests, their target was the Soviet Union, a superpower as large as themselves, rather than China, a closed and backward country that was very good at fighting.

Taking advantage of the Sino-Soviet split, they could win over China, thus freeing up their energy to focus on the US-Soviet rivalry.

Taking into account political, financial, and personal connections factors, a high-ranking U.S. government official privately warned the leader of a country or region not to attempt to do anything against the will of the United States!

Even if they disagreed, neither side had any chance of carrying out assassination or sabotage operations without domestic support.

Meanwhile, with the intervention of the United States, these things were prohibited, and they dared not do them again, gradually leaving this place of trouble.

If they don't leave, they will eventually be abandoned by their superiors and purged by Qi Shuliang and Huo Yingjun's men.

A month later, after all that had happened,

Qi Zhenghan missed the exam and could only try again next year. He wanted to use this year to gain more social experience, so it wouldn't be a waste of time. However, Anna Qi Shuliang paid for it, and Qi Zhenghan, who already had excellent grades, took extra exams, so he successfully received his university acceptance letter.

Just as I predicted, He Tiantian has been eating well and sleeping soundly this month, and has gained several pounds compared to last month.

Every time Qi Zhengmin saw He Tiantian, he noticed that she was always eating.

During mealtimes, they eat; outside of mealtimes, they eat snacks.

No, little Qi Zhengmin couldn't stand it anymore. He pinched He Tiantian's increasingly chubby little face and said, "Sister Tiantian, as a lady, do you think it's appropriate for you to eat all day long?"

He Tiantian blinked. What she really wanted to say was that although the food was delicious, she didn't want to eat so much. But if she didn't eat, where would she get the holy blood to supply the Snake King?

"No, I'm just a little hungry," He Tiantian said. "I'm still growing, and I was too thin before."

Qi Zhengmin looked at He Tiantian and nodded, saying, "You are indeed growing, Sister Tiantian, I've noticed you've grown taller."

He Tiantian was taken aback and asked, "Really?"

He Tiantian remembered that in her previous life, after the age of fifteen, she didn't eat well and worked hard, so she stopped growing taller and remained at around 1.58 or 1.59 meters tall, but claimed to be 1.6 meters tall.

"If you believe me, you can go to the gym downstairs and weigh yourself," Qi Zhengmin said, forgetting that he had previously advised He Tiantian to eat too much.

He Tiantian followed Qi Zhengmin to the gym.

Qi Zhenghan was doing strength training when he saw He Tiantian arrive, so he trained even harder, showing off his strong muscles under his vest.

He Tiantian walked to the weight and height monitor, took off her shoes, stood on it, and a pleasant female voice came from inside.

He weighs 49 kilograms, is 1.64 meters tall, and has grown 5 centimeters.

This is without shoes. With shoes on, even if they're flat, plus one centimeter, he'd be 1.65 meters tall.

"Sweetie, your weight is alright, not fat at all, but your face is a real letdown." Qi Zhengmin, like a little adult, commented on He Tiantian's appearance. "Logically speaking, your baby fat should have disappeared, but..."

"Alright, don't worry about it so much!" He Tiantian said casually. "As long as your weight is within the normal range, there's no need to count every grain of rice while eating just to gain a little weight."

Qi Zhengmin shook his head and said, "My mother said that girls shouldn't be like that. I don't want to become like Alice's mother before I'm even thirty, with such a big butt and a broad back!"

As Qi Zhengmin spoke, he gestured to make the shape of an extremely large buttock.

Qi Zhenghan, standing to the side, shook his head and said, "Is this how your mother raised you? Where is your ladylike upbringing?"

Qi Zhengmin stuck out his tongue and spoke casually to He Tiantian, forgetting about his brother beside him.

"I'm sorry, brother, I know I was wrong." After saying that, Qi Zhengmin pulled He Tiantian away.

Qi Zhenghan, left with only regret, scared away his sister and took He Tiantian away.
