Zhu Jiabao became nervous: "That girl only hit a few Red Guards who were arresting her. I'll pay for her medical expenses. The child was just nervous and hit them a little too hard. I can settle with them privately."

"They'll only complain if you don't beat them hard enough. As long as you beat them hard enough to make them submit, they won't have any complaints," Zhu Jiabao added in his mind.

The old leader didn't know what expression to make: "We can skip this for now. Later, she went to your homes one by one and beat people up. She didn't spare any family. Men, women, young and old were all beaten up. She even demolished people's homes and threatened that if anyone dared to lay a hand on you, she would beat up their whole family. Some people have already reported her to the higher-ups, saying that she has reactionary ideas and that she should be arrested and reformed."

Zhu Jiabao said anxiously, "Impossible. Fanfan wouldn't do something so obvious. It must be that those people didn't have enough evidence and deliberately framed him."

The old leader was genuinely angry and laughed: "You still know this was done by your granddaughter? What kind of child have you raised?"

They hit him, but they still insisted on emphasizing that it was for Zhu Jiabao's sake. Even if he was disguised, wouldn't saying that give them away? They've been caught red-handed. The child is a good child, skilled in martial arts, and also knows medicine and alchemy. He's a talented person. How did he end up with such a grandfather? Of all the things he could learn from him, he's learned to be unscrupulous and arrogant.

Zhu Jiabao's anger subsided: "Never mind how she's been raised, or what her punishment is."

He needed to have a plan in mind and quickly arrange a way out for her, since she was the only son in the Zhu family.

The old leader said, "Just like you, she was reflecting on her actions at home, but Zhuge Qianxing protected her at the crucial moment."

He just couldn't understand it. A few days ago, Zhuge Qianxing had vowed that he would never accept Fanfan, who had no superpowers, and had even argued fiercely with an elder. But a few days later, he changed his tune and started saying that Fanfan was an elite member of the Dragon Group. He wasn't angry even when he was ridiculed. He didn't know what Fanfan had done to make him change his mind.

However, seeing the usually arrogant Zhuge Qianxing humble himself for Fanfan, he felt it was worth it. Zhuge Qianxing had always been eccentric, and their expressions were always condescending. They had been unhappy for a long time, but there were many things the country couldn't do and could only rely on people like them, so they had always kept to themselves.

Zhu Jiabao was even more puzzled: "Why would Zhuge Qianxing plead for her?"

He also received a call from an old friend who said that his former boss had a fight with Zhuge Qianxing because Fanfan had been removed from the Dragon Group's peripheral personnel qualification. He was cornered by Zhuge Qianxing and took his anger out on his old friend when he got back.

The old leader said irritably, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I've finished relaying the message and I'm leaving now. Zhu Jiabao, you should take this time to work on your child's temper. If you want to get revenge on someone, you need to be strategic. Otherwise, you'll be caught red-handed. Girls suffer more losses this way."

Zhu Jiabao muttered under his breath, "She's never had a good personality to begin with, what does it have to do with me?"

The old leader didn't hear him clearly: "What are you muttering about?"

Zhu Jiabao could only say, "Yes, yes, I will definitely teach him a good lesson. Old leader, do you think my house in the compound will be taken back if I am suspended from my post?"

The old boss snorted: "You're suspended, not resigned. Why would we take your house? Keep living there. If anyone wants to take your house, let them come find me."

He said a few words and left. Not long after the old leader left, Ming Yunshu rushed over. He almost burst into tears when he saw Zhu Jiabao, which made Zhu Jiabao very disgusted: "I'm not dead yet!"

Ming Yunshu spat a few times: "Uncle Zhu, what are you saying? You're going to live to be a hundred years old, and we're going to watch Fanfan get married, have children, and be happy!"

Zhu Jiabao was even more disgusted: "How old are you? You're still acting like a child. Ugh, how childish!"

Ming Yunshu said, "Didn't Fanfan say that a man is a boy until he dies? Isn't it normal to be a little childish? I've taken leave to stay with him at the hospital. Uncle Zhu, if you need anything, just tell me."

Zhu Jiabao: "I have medical staff taking care of me here, why are you joining in? Your father will be unhappy if he finds out. Your relationship has finally improved over the years, don't make it worse."

Ming Yunshu didn't care: "I'm Fanfan's godfather. She should be the one taking care of you. She's exhausted herself, so naturally I, as her godfather, will take care of you. Besides, Uncle Zhu, Fanfan is a girl. How can you bear to make her do things for you? You can't move after the surgery. When we turn you over or when you need to use the restroom at night, we can't let Fanfan take care of you, can we?"

What does it matter to him if his own father realizes his mistake and wants to make amends? He's unhappy and keeps it to himself. He's forgotten how his father treated him back then. He just did the same thing and said the same thing. He can tolerate it, so there's no reason why his father can't. It's the same thing, so why differentiate between them?

Zhu Jiabao still disagreed: "Lin Wu just sent word that he will be coming over tonight. There's no need for you all to be here. Your work is important, go back!"

Lin Wu thought he had been rejected. Lin Wu also had to take care of the child. Lü Gui had already started working and was living in a dormitory. There was only Lin Xiaofang at home, and he was worried about leaving a girl alone at home.

Ming Yunshu didn't care: "He's here, I'll make him leave. Uncle Zhu, you can't move or control me right now. If you make any trouble, I'll tell Fanfan when she wakes up."

He can't deal with Uncle Zhu, but Fanfan has him firmly under his control. Uncle Zhu will eventually submit to Fanfan.

Zhu Jiabao was speechless. His relationship with Ming Zhengyang was going to deteriorate a bit more. But it wasn't his fault. It was Ming Zhengyang's fault for being unfair as a father. Instead of reflecting on his own mistakes, he blamed Zhu Jiabao for stirring up trouble between father and son. Zhu Jiabao wouldn't tolerate that. Ming Zhengyang deserved to be criticized.

Just then, Zhu Fanfan woke up and saw the two people next to her silently struggling. She asked curiously, "What are you two doing?"

Ming Yunshu stated his purpose directly: "I'm discussing with Uncle Zhu about keeping an eye on you tonight. Fanfan, how are you feeling? I heard from your godmother that you haven't been staying in the compound these past few days. Where did you go?"

Zhu Fanfan didn't think there was anything she couldn't say: "These past few days have been so exciting! Someone kept following me, but I managed to shake them off. I'm playing hide-and-seek with them!"

Zhu Jiabao snorted after hearing this: "They even went to someone's house and started hitting and smashing things."

Zhu Fanfan said confidently, "They bullied you first. They could do that to an old woman, so why would I?"

Although Ming Yunshu didn't know what his goddaughter had done, he said, "Fanfan is right. Our Zhu family is not easy to bully. Whoever hits us, we'll hit them back."

Zhu Jiabao's hands were itching, and he instinctively wanted to hit someone, but Ming Yunshu pressed him down: "Uncle Zhu, your bones are broken, are you kidding me? Lie down and rest, and wait until you've recovered before you start hitting someone."

Zhu Fanfan agreed: "Take good care of yourself, we can protect you."

Enraged, Zhu Jiabao glared and puffed out his cheeks: "If I were counting on you, I'd probably die even faster."
