Minister He's gaze darkened as he looked at Lu Yunshen, his tone becoming probing.

He couldn't find any fault with Lu Qiuying anywhere else, so he came here.

The Lu family is powerful, but their influence is limited. They have no real foothold in Fuzhou and are easily manipulated. They can do whatever they want with them.

"Who are you?" Lu Yun Shen guessed who he was, but he didn't show it on his face, his eyes filled with doubt.

He had already heard that the investigation team was coming to Fuzhou, but he didn't expect them to come here.

"I am Minister He from the investigation team. I'm here in Fuzhou to check on some matters," Minister He said, standing up straight and smiling.

His eyes held an undisguised provocation, as if he wanted to say that he was there to investigate his sister's affairs.

But Lu Yunshen wasn't going to tolerate him. "Is that so?"

Do you have a search warrant?

Minister He's smile froze. He hadn't expected Lu Yunshen to be so direct, and even dare to challenge the investigation team.

Aren't the Lu family afraid of offending the censorship department?

He certainly didn't have an investigation warrant; if he had, he would have produced it long ago.

Rumors circulated in Beijing that Lu Yun Shen was just a lowly soldier who had now retired and been abandoned by the Lu family.

In retrospect, he underestimated his opponent.

"No search warrant? Minister He, then I'm sorry, you can't go in." Lu Yunshen's lips curled into a smile, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

They dared to force their way into Yan Shen Shipbuilding Factory just because of his sister; it seems the Xiao family has quite a reach.

Minister He turned pale, snorted coldly, and turned to leave with his men.

Lin Ziyan watched their retreating figures, lost in thought.

Is the fact that the Land Management Department dares to act recklessly because it's backed by the power of Minister He?

…

A few days later.

Lin Ziyan was fishing on the large reef.

Lu Qiuying carried a small bucket and sat down next to her, slowly baiting the fishing hooks.

"What brings you here?" Lin Ziyan frowned.

The land for the factory has been approved; otherwise, Lin Ziyan would have had to make several more trips.

But at this time, Lu Qiuying should be the busiest...

The Foreign Trade Department receives numerous cooperation orders every day, all of which require her, as the department head, to review.

"Suspended from duty." Lu Qiuying smiled faintly and threw the bait into the sea.

Lin Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly, and she pursed her lips.

"What did they find out?" she asked calmly.

Lu Qiuying thought of the suspension report and smiled sarcastically, "If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason."

She never imagined that one day she would be forcibly suspended from her job because she was Lu Yun Shen's sister.

They are siblings, but they never inquire about each other's work. How did they end up making things so easy for Yan Shen Shipping Company?

Moreover, there is no evidence whatsoever, only suspicion…

Lin Ziyan nodded slightly, squinted her eyes, looked at the calm sea, and yawned.

A gentle sea breeze brings a touch of coolness.

A faint, salty smell filled the air.

"By the way, has the fish farm issue been reported to the aquaculture department?" Lu Qiuying frowned as she recalled the test report.

She has been suspended from her post, and it's unclear who will take her place.

It would be terrible if the test report wasn't taken seriously.

"Professor Shen will report this..." A cold light appeared in Lin Ziyan's eyes.

Time and time again, it seems they can't find out who's behind this, and they won't be able to have any peace.

Lu Qiuying looked worried and picked up a branch from the ground to draw something.

Lin Ziyan sat to the side, gazing at the sea, her thoughts drifting far away.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, until Lu Qiuying's fishing rod swayed.

“The fish has taken the bait…” Lu Qiuying paused for a few seconds, then quickly pulled the line.

Her eyes gathered a faint glimmer of light, and her previous sorrow vanished completely.

Lin Ziyan helped pull the fishing rod.

The fish wasn't big, and it thrashed its tail vigorously after being put into the bucket.

Lu Qiuying threw the fishing rod aside, squatted down, and tried to reach out and grab the fish's tail.

"careful!"

Lin Ziyan suddenly spoke and quickly grabbed Lu Qiuying's hand.

The fish flicked its tail, opened its mouth, and revealed a row of gleaming white teeth.

Lu Qiuying jumped back in fright, goosebumps rising on her arms.

The fish's body was silvery-white, and its tail was thrashing vigorously, as if it was very dissatisfied with the space in the red bucket.

It kept wagging its tail, and the water in the red bucket was soon gone.

The fish opened its mouth and ground its teeth, which looked quite creepy.

"How could this happen?" Lu Qiuying came to her senses and clenched her fists.

This is a shallow sea area, how could there be such strange fish here?

Moreover, this fish had a bloody smell that made people nauseous.

Lin Ziyan threw a small fish into the red bucket.

The fish that had just been caught opened its mouth and bit the small fish in half.

That's right, it could have swallowed it whole, but it chose to bite it off instead...

Lu Qiuying's expression gradually turned serious; this was too eerie.

"That test report must have an accuracy rate of 90%?" she asked calmly.

Lin Ziyan pursed her lips and nodded, "The accuracy rate of your brother's experiment is over 90%."

She didn't say that Lu Yunshen even used the kind of reagent that was blocked from import.

The fact that this fish is now found even in shallow waters indicates that the other side had been preparing for this for some time.

It may not just be shallow sea areas, but also rivers.

“We’ll go back to the village now to find Professor Shen. This fish must be sent to the Beijing Research Institute for testing as soon as possible…” A cold glint appeared in Lu Qiuying’s eyes.

The reason for suspending her from her post at this time is that they think they can buy time for the fish to proliferate in Fukushima.

Lin Ziyan packed her things, feeling vaguely uneasy.

…

At this time, at the seaside,

Wei Caixia was catching shrimp and shellfish with a net, while many children who were already on summer vacation were catching small shrimp and collecting sea snails around her.
