Chapter 376 Encountering Haibu

Xi Yan did not deny it: "Hai Bu is indeed very strong, and he was evenly matched with Elder Wu."

Elder Wu is the elder in charge of training superpowers. His combat strength is the highest after the group leader. To be able to fight Elder Wu to a draw at such a young age is not just impressive, it's downright heaven-defying.

Zhu Fanfan also exclaimed, "Putting everything else aside, Haibu's spatial ability gives him an advantage. When I competed with him, I had to give it my all to achieve a draw. You know, I have a lot of things to protect myself."

Zhu Jiabao became interested: "You've also fought against Haibu?"

Zhu Fanfan honestly said, "We fought each other on our first meeting. I used all my strength, and we both ended up getting injured, and it was only a draw."

Zhu Jiabao understood. Few could match his granddaughter's skill. Those who could fight her to a draw were indeed arrogant. No wonder he was so confident when he argued with him seven years ago. He had the right to do so. Fanfan was only eight years old seven years ago, yet he looked down on all children under eighteen. Now he is even more arrogant, thinking he is the best in the world. He walks with his head held high. He just didn't realize that Haibu was probably seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, older than Fanfan is now. It's normal for him to be arrogant.

But Zhu Jiabao still said, "Child, Grandpa supports you in teaching him a lesson. Help Grandpa scold him to death. He wants to pursue my granddaughter? Dream on! Shake him awake."

Zhu Fanfan looked at his grandfather speechlessly. "He's in Beijing. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to scold him to his face?"

Xi Yan asked, "Can I take Fanfan with me now?"

Zhu Jiabao said, "Send her back as soon as possible; no one else can train her subordinates."

He wanted to go too, to give Haibu a good dressing down. If he really angered him, could the father and son team up and not beat him? But he was too busy with work, and besides, he couldn't get into the Dragon Group without special permission. He was furious!

Zhu Fanfan refused: "I went there today to get a pass and I also need to find some books to train new recruits."

Xi Yan said, "You don't need to look in the library. Just go and see how we usually train and how professional teachers teach. You can learn from them. The team leader won't have any objections."

I heard that the group leader privately agreed to many of Fanfan's conditions, adopting a very humble attitude. As long as it doesn't exceed the group leader's expectations, he won't refuse. Elder Wu also praised Fanfan highly after returning from Yunnan and was willing to teach him.

Zhu Fanfan also wanted to see how others trained, so he asked his grandfather for leave and went with Xi Yan. On the way, Xi Yan told him everything that had happened in the Dragon Group, without missing a single detail.

Upon arriving at the Dragon Group, the gate was quite ordinary, like that of an average person's home, with a sign that read: "Kyoto Special Education School." Simple and straightforward, it was immediately clear what it was for.

Faced with Zhu Fanfan's speechlessness, Xi Yan explained from the side: "On the surface, we are all students, but there is a whole different world inside. You will know when you go there. Last time you came to take the exam, you only saw the tip of the iceberg. Although it looks inconspicuous from the outside, the inside area is no smaller than that of the military base."

Zhu Fanfan was also a little surprised: "Last time, Uncle Jin brought me in directly, and I didn't pay attention. Now that I'm here, could you show me around?"

Xi Yan said happily, "I'd be more than happy to."

Remembering that her grandfather had specifically made her learn to drive, she asked curiously, "Do you all have to know how to drive?"

Xi Yan thought for a moment and said, "There is no hard and fast rule, but those of us who frequently go on missions generally drive and repair vehicles."

It seems that about 80% of the people in the group, regardless of gender, know how to do it, and another 20% basically stay in the group and never go out. Moreover, there are more than a dozen cars in the group's garage, two rows of motorcycles, not to mention bicycles. Whoever goes out and sees a car they like will just drive away. They've gotten used to it and don't pay attention anymore.

After parking the car in the garage, Xi Yan led Zhu Fanfan on a tour of the Dragon Group. The front yard was not much different from the school, with teaching buildings, a playground, and everything else, but the area was a bit small.

Xi Yan explained, "This is to deal with people who accidentally wander in here. Actually, this is our dormitory and leisure area, with a canteen and afternoon tea restaurant, a place for playing ball and other leisure activities. Our training and study area is in the back."

Xi Yan led Zhu Fanfan to the back, and sure enough, the back was a hidden world. Walking in felt like entering a high-tech laboratory. There were many things inside that even modern China didn't have. They looked very advanced, and Zhu Fanfan could only admit that she was ignorant. It made her feel like she was back in the modern era, full of technological wonder.

Xi Yan explained: "We also have our own laboratory. We have top scientists and biologists who study the mysteries of the human body. But don't worry, our research is different from that of the Japanese pirates who were so insane. We would never joke with human lives. A large part of our experiments with the remains of the Japanese pirates was to vent our anger, which had little to do with research. Moreover, their physical condition was somewhat different from ours, so it didn't have much research value."

Hearing Xi Yan's disdain, Zhu Fanfan agreed: "Those Japanese pirates can't even be called human. Next time they catch me and torture me to death, what might I remember if they dissect me?"

Xi Yan nodded: "I'll keep that in mind. When there are Japanese pirates, I'll give them a heads-up and save some for you."

Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "There's a medical room here too?"

Xi Yan said, "It's not the medical room. The person in charge of the pill refining group now is Elder Dan's personal disciple. He is currently the best pill refining expert in the Dragon Group. He also studied abroad and knows both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Moreover, he has great respect for Grandma Yumin. He will be very happy to see you."

Xi Yan explained everything to Zhu Fanfan wherever they went. Everything she saw here shattered her stereotypes about the Dragon Group. She had thought it would be decorated in an antique style, but everything was surprisingly advanced.

In response, Xi Yan said, "We also need to keep up with the times! And sometimes we go abroad with tour groups; we're not stuck in one place."

As they talked, the conversation turned to the formation group, and Zhu Fanfan asked, "Are the passes issued by the formation group?"

Xi Yan kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out when you get there."

Just then, Haibu came over and was very happy to see Zhu Fanfan: "Fanfan, why are you only arriving now? I heard from the team leader that you've been coming here a lot lately."

Xi Yan stepped in front of him: "We're going to the formation group, please make way."

Haibu said arrogantly, "A defeated opponent."

Xi Yan said indifferently: "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. I will not always be a defeated opponent. Now, please step aside."

Haibu naturally wouldn't allow it; he knew Zhu Fanfan wasn't from the Dragon Group, and it wasn't easy for her to come all this way.

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Zhu Fanfan pulled Xi Yan and asked Xiang Haibu, "Do you remember seven years ago, when the Dragon Group and the army were working together to catch enemy agents, and your village was involved? Later, the military and the Dragon Group extended an invitation, but you all refused, right?"

Haibu naturally remembered: "At that time, our village had some conflicts with your side, so we refused. If I had known I would meet you, I would definitely have come."

Zhu Fanfan laughed and said, "When the people from the Beijing Military Region called to invite you to join the military, did you get into a fight with them?"

Haibu nodded: "He was a very arrogant old man. I heard he held a high-ranking position and spoke very aggressively. So I started arguing with him. I was young and hot-blooded and my insults were a bit harsh."

Zhu Fanfan continued, "That old man is my grandfather, my biological grandfather, and the only relative on my household registration."
