Xie Minglei could only say, "Fanfan, it's our honor to be the descendants of soldiers who dedicate everything to the country, just like your father..."

But before she could finish speaking, Zhu Jiabao interrupted her: "Our Zhu family has several generations of people who have shed their blood. Fanfan is the only son left in her generation. The honors earned by our predecessors are enough to protect her for life. She doesn't need to sacrifice herself."

The idea of ​​risking one's life is not suitable for their Fanfan. She's just a carefree little girl and doesn't need to put so much pressure on herself.

Xie Minglei: ...He was trying to persuade his granddaughter for Zhu Jiabao's sake, but this person who's holding him back is even interrupting him. Who is he doing this for? Whose side is he really on?

Zhu Fanfan said, "Grandpa Xie, do you still have things to do? I want to say a few words to my grandpa."

With Grandpa Xie here, the two of them are a bit restricted. Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. She and Grandpa will definitely have a big argument soon, and they might even get into a fight. Grandpa will lose face if he loses.

Zhu Jiabao refused outright: "I have nothing to say to you. I have official business with your Grandpa Xie. The mission documents are on the table. Take them and leave. Your rank is not high enough to listen to what we're discussing."

Anyway, this girl's emotions come and go quickly. She'll calm down on her own once she stops being angry. He needs to ensure her safety while she's angry.

Xie Minglei had no choice but to agree with Zhu Jiabao's words: "Your grandfather and I have something to discuss, which is confidential."

Zhu Fanfan said directly, "I have superpowers. Even if you two hide in a rat's nest, I can still hear you. Pretend I don't exist and continue talking."

If it were a secret, the door would have been locked long ago. Grandpa's cautious nature wouldn't lead him to make such a basic mistake.

Xie Minglei: ...This child is not cute at all. She doesn't know how to take the easy way out. Her mouth is as poisonous as her grandfather's. How could he have thought Fanfan was a sensible and well-behaved child before?

Zhu Jiabao said directly, "Everyone else has gone to prepare. We'll depart in three hours. You should go and pack your things."

Zhu Fanfan looked at her grandfather. Zhu Jiabao, feeling guilty, lowered himself, trying to convince himself that she couldn't see him. Zhu Fanfan laughed angrily: "These people were chosen on short notice. Do you think they'll listen to me?"

Zhu Jiabao stood up straight and said, "Then it depends on your ability to subdue them. Anyway, you have to solve these problems yourself. I'll tell you about the people who are with you: Xiang Fu, Shi Junfeng, Yu Xuemin, Gu Mingjie, Ji Yinghua, and Tong Ze."

After saying that, he squatted down and hid right behind Xie Minglei.

Zhu Fanfan asked again, "Is this a one-time collaboration or will we continue to collaborate in the future?"

Zhu Jiabao stood up again: "When you come back from completing the mission, you will be promoted to squad leader. You will lead them to do missions together, and training will also be your responsibility. However, you will be directly under my command. If you want to add people to the team in the future, just tell me."

Zhu Fanfan angrily pointed at Zhu Jiabao and said, "Zhu Jiabao, you betrayed me! You just wait!"

After saying that, he stormed off. Only then did Zhu Jiabao straighten up and step out from behind Xie Minglei, wiping away non-existent cold sweat. He was furious with Xie Minglei, who had always treated him like a tool: "Can't you two talk things out properly? Why do you have to use me as a shield? Is this really necessary?"

Zhu Jiabao swaggered back to his seat: "It's funny to see you jumping up and down in such a hurry."

Xie Minglei scoffed, "You're still the grandfather, yet you can't control your own grandson. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Zhu Jiabao must be a cow, right? His arms felt like they weren't even his own anymore; they were pinching him so hard it hurt like hell.

Zhu Jiabao, still shaken, asked, "Who told you she was my grandson?"

Xie Minglei was surprised, thinking he was about to overhear some secret, when he heard Zhu Jiabao say, "That was my Zhu family's ancestor."

Who has ever seen a grandfather who is afraid of his granddaughter? Who has ever seen a granddaughter who gives her grandfather a hard time at the slightest disagreement? But this kind of granddaughter has brought honor to the Zhu family. Others would love to have one!

It's not his fault. That girl fought against the entire army and even discovered several people with supernatural abilities. It's a pity they're too old to unleash their full potential. It's a shame, but they would be much more useful in the army. Once their supernatural abilities are unleashed, their physical abilities would be much stronger.

However, the Dragon Group would not accept such a level of intensity because they would look down on her because her superpowers were too weak. She was even researching how to activate her superpowers. In the future, the military could also have a superpower department. Wasn't she too excited and made the report on a whim? The higher-ups unanimously agreed to let her lead the team and set it up. It would also be a small test for her.

Xie Minglei: ...You two are not to be trifled with, yet you have the nerve to talk about others. Look at your old friend's smug expression, I wonder what he's thinking. How come people like that haven't been beaten to death with sacks over their heads?

After leaving, Zhu Fanfan went straight back to pack her things. Since the order had been given, she would naturally obey it. She had fought with all of these people before. Although it was just a competition, an expert could still see a lot from the competition. Some people would use some despicable means when they got desperate, while others were willing to accept defeat. These people were of good character, but two of them were too upright and did not know how to be flexible. They were too rigid and inflexible.

Three hours later, they were to gather at the military region. Someone would drive them to the train station, where they would be picked up and taken directly to their destination.

When Zhu Fanfan arrived with five people, they saw Xi Yan and Shao Ling leading a team waiting for them. Xi Yan and Shao Ling, who were in charge, were good-natured, but the people below them were arrogant and didn't seem easy to get along with.

Shao Ling was accompanied by Shao Xian. Zhu Fanfan frowned slightly. She didn't like Shao Xian. This person's hostility towards her was too obvious. However, she hadn't done anything excessive, and she couldn't just kill him directly. It was also quite annoying that he kept coming to cause trouble.

On the other hand, her group was incredibly excited because they knew they were cooperating with the legendary Dragon Group. However, their enthusiasm waned upon seeing Xi Yan and his group, which made Zhu Fanfan even more dissatisfied.

Xi Yan asked, "Fanfan, are you tired from the car ride? Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something first?"

He called Grandpa Zhu and learned that Fanfan's appointment was somewhat sudden and that he must not have been prepared for anything. Besides, he had been traveling for several days and must not have had time to eat. So he hurriedly asked his men to buy food.

Seeing that Zhu Fanfan had no objections, Xi Yan knew she was hungry and said, "Let me tell you about the situation here. This is a map. The person disappeared in this place. The initial estimate is that it was due to the medicine in the miasma. There are no supernatural fluctuations. Also, the map was provided by the elders here, so I can't guarantee its accuracy..."

Shao Xian spoke up: "Captain Xi Yan, what we need are people to scout ahead for us. We hope you won't leak some confidential information to unrelated people."

Shaoling immediately stopped her: "Shaoxian, Xiyan is in charge of this team, and I am the support. We know better than you what you can and cannot say. Now shut up."

Shao Xian put her hands on her hips and said, "Just because I call you 'cousin' does that make you think you're an elder and can lecture me? Don't forget that my third uncle likes me more. If I go back and complain, won't your father punish you? Think it through."

Zhu Fanfan glanced at Shaoling and asked curiously, "Your father's illegitimate daughter?"
