As soon as Ruan Ruan came downstairs, she saw several big shots coming out of the study and walking towards the sofa. Ruan Ruan was still thinking, no wonder she hadn't seen them before, they were all in the study. She just wondered what they needed to discuss at this time.

"Grandpa, Grandma," Ruan Ruan obediently walked up to her grandparents.

"These two are your maternal grandparents." Like Old Master Ruan, Grandpa Gu was a founding general, exuding a stern and imposing aura. The younger generation usually didn't dare face him, and some of the more timid ones would tremble at the sight of him. So when Grandpa Ruan called out to Ruan Ruan, the senior figures began to scrutinize her. Seeing her walk over calmly, they all nodded in satisfaction.

"Grandpa, Grandma," Ruan Ruan greeted the two elders with a slight bow, her smile and graceful demeanor endearing her to them.

"Yes, you've suffered these past years. This is a gift from us, your parents. Please accept it." Grandma Gu, dressed in a dark green cheongsam, nodded repeatedly upon seeing Ruan Ruan. Grandma Gu, Lan Zhiyan, was a true lady of high birth in her youth. Her family ancestors had even held high-ranking official positions, making them a genuine scholarly family. However, later, for the sake of national righteousness, the Lan family used all their wealth to support the country, and the men of the Lan family devoted themselves to the revolution. Lan Zhiyan herself even followed the army and became a battlefield medic.

The elderly couple gave her a large red envelope. Ruan Ruan came over, and what she touched appeared to be bracelets and jade pendants. These things couldn't be displayed openly at this time, so Ruan Ruan immediately put them into her bag after receiving them.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma," Ruan Ruan said with a smile, showing no sign of discomfort.

"These two are your Grandpa Su and Grandpa Deng." To Grandpa Gu's left sat an old man holding a dragon-headed cane, who was Grandpa Deng. Next to him, with white hair, was Grandpa Su.

"Grandpa Su, Grandpa Deng," Ruan Ruan dared not be disrespectful to the two old gentlemen.

"She's a good girl." The two elders looked at the elegant and poised Ruan Ruan and their evaluation of her rose even higher. With such demeanor, who would believe that she grew up in the countryside?

Just as the elders were about to ask something, the younger generation returned with their purchases. Early that morning, the younger members of the Ruan and Gu families had been sent out to buy things, and this was precisely the time they were returning.

"Mom, look, we've bought everything. Is it enough?" The speaker was Ruan Shaohong, the eldest brother of the Ruan family. His second brother, Ruan Shaokun, had accompanied him; the two brothers had been sent out to buy meat at six in the morning.

"That's enough. Take it to the kitchen first. Aunt Gui is preparing the ingredients. We'll stew these ribs in a bit." Ruan's mother walked over and glanced at her two sons.

"Xiaoling, come on in, come on in!" When Ruan's mother saw Qian Ling, she immediately went forward and pulled her into the house.

Accompanying the two brothers was a young woman, Qian Ling, Ruan Shaohong's fiancée. They were to marry next month, and she had taken leave specifically to return after hearing that the Ruan family's daughter had been found.

"Host, host, we have work to do, we have work to do!" The system, which had been silent until now, immediately perked up the moment it saw Qian Ling.

"What do you mean? What job is coming up?" Ruan Ruan was a little confused as she looked at the woman who walked in.

The old men closest to her heard the system speaking. At first, they didn't know where the sound was coming from, but when Ruan Ruan spoke, they all looked at her.

"This is the woman; she's from the Qian family."

"The Qian family? What Qian family?" Still a bit confused, Ruan Ruan didn't understand the system's meaning for a moment.

"The Qian family, the scientific giants!!!" The system said excitedly, watching Qian Ling approach it step by step, or rather, walk towards Ruan Ruan.

"The Qian family, the same Qian family that weapons scientist?" Realizing what was happening, Ruan Ruan also became excited, her eyes shining as she looked at Qian Ling.

The powerful figures were completely bewildered, not understanding what was happening to the Qian family. They exchanged glances, each conveying the same message: "Don't disturb us, let's listen and see what's going on."

"System, search for recent developments regarding the Qian family."

"receive"

"Host, we've found it. Tonight, Qian Xueyi will be reported by his own student, and the entire Qian family will be sent to the remote Northwest. Qian Xueyi died of grief because he couldn't understand why his prized student would do this. His daughter was eventually forced to commit suicide by the farm manager."

"Why did his student report his teacher tonight?" Logically, Qian Gong had brought him fame and fortune by mentoring him on the project.

"Because Sun Yang is accused by enemy agents of working for them, and if Qian Xueyi's project succeeds, it will bring huge benefits to the military, which the enemy country will not allow. At the same time, they also want to obtain the project data, but the most important data is only kept by Qian Xueyi. So they want to take advantage of the situation after the Qian family is taken away by the informant and steal the data."

"My God, so that means the weapons that the US used on the international stage should have belonged to our country. Those damned US used weapons we developed to hunt down our diplomats and soldiers, causing us to lose an entire special forces unit, which is what Grandpa was talking about back then."

Thinking of this, Ruan Ruan really wanted to shoot that bastard Sun Yang right now, that traitor.

"Yes, it was that battle. The US developed weapons and made unequal demands on China, threatening to conduct military exercises against China if they didn't comply. Coincidentally, the diplomat on that occasion was your second uncle. Faced with the US's demands, he didn't back down at all. After leaving the conference building, he was hunted down, and it was that unit that protected him."

Hearing Ruan Ruan's conversation with the system, the old men couldn't sit still any longer. They glanced at each other, stood up, and walked to the study, closing the door behind them, ignoring Ruan Ruan's subsequent conversation.

"Leaving aside the fact that we overheard Ruan Ruan's conversation with that system, the most important thing now is to immediately have someone investigate the authenticity of this matter," Old Man Ruan was the first to express his opinion, after all, the strange thing was his own granddaughter.

“Yes, let’s get someone to investigate first. Old Ruan, call Chuan Ji immediately and have him send someone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to verify the project details with Qian Xueyi. Then send someone to follow his student, Sun Yang, and see what he did tonight and who he contacted.” Old Gu also chimed in with the next steps, since the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Military Region was now Ruan’s eldest son.

"If what Ruan Ruan said is true, then Qian Xueyi must be protected. This is related to the country's further military advancement."

The old men were discussing countermeasures in the study. After settling Qian Xueyi's affairs, they started thinking about Ruan Ruan and her system.

"It seems that Ruan Ruan is unaware that we can hear her thoughts. I think we should observe further and see who else can hear her thoughts, and see if we can learn more from them."

Okay, that's settled for now.
