At dinner, Yu Zhiyuan and Ming Yunshu led the way and called over the key people from all sides. The military team had Pan Zechang with five people behind him and Zhu Fanfan. The Dragon Group had Elder Wu with Xi Yan and Hai Bu. The research department only had three people this time, so everyone was there.

Yu Zhiyuan began by saying, "I called everyone over tonight because I have something to say. Starting tonight, we will not be eating anymore."

Everyone was surprised, but no one spoke, waiting for Yu Zhiyuan to continue.

Yu Zhiyuan said, “When we went to buy food tonight, the waiter told us that all the food for dinner was sold out, so we had to prepare our own. Yunshu and I found out that it must have been the officials who intervened. They wouldn’t provide us with food, and even the restaurants and street stalls outside wouldn’t sell us anything.”

Fortunately, his family was worried that he wouldn't be used to the food here, so they prepared some food for him. He won't go hungry today or tomorrow, but it's uncertain about others.

Ming Yunshu continued, "We called everyone here today to apologize. We will try our best to get food for everyone. Please don't worry, and try to calm the people below."

Who knew foreigners would be so despicable? Without food in a foreign land, their fighting ability would be weakened. The foreigners probably saw their fighting ability and thought that the chances of successfully causing trouble were slim, so they wanted to break their physical condition first before making their move. After all, they are a developed country, and their hearts are not much bigger than a pinhole. But they were really restricted. They had money but couldn't buy anything. They were also unfamiliar with the place. There were about a hundred of them on the surface, and there were others on the side. Where were they going to find food?

Zhu Fanfan commented, "They just didn't give us food, they didn't cut off our water, right?"

It has to be said that water pipes are now readily available here, making water use really convenient. Taking a shower at night is also easy, which she really likes. Although she has space and doesn't lack water, not everyone has such space. They can manage without food, but they can't last more than a few days without water.

Ming Yunshu replied, "The water supply wasn't cut off. After all, they only wanted to teach us a lesson; they didn't intend to kill us."

I felt my dignity had been challenged, but I didn't have the confidence to defeat them, so I used underhanded methods to try and make them submit and beg for mercy. It was disgusting.

Zhu Fanfan said, "Don't worry about the food. I and the superpower team will handle it. However, Uncle Yu, you will be in charge of dealing with the external issues."

Yu Zhiyuan didn't say anything; his job was to handle external affairs.

Elder Wu had no objections, but was curious: "Fanfan, what's your idea?"

Zhu Fanfan said, "We were followed today. In order to find out who they were working for, I used my mental energy on them to track them down tonight. Since they cut off our food supply, we'll clear out their kitchen while we're counter-tracking them. If they won't give us food in exchange for money, then we'll take it for free. You have to learn to be flexible in life."

Everyone: ...Who makes a change like this?

Ming Yunshu didn't object: "Fanfan, are you confident?"

Zhu Fanfan said confidently, "Don't worry, godfather. You know me. I won't risk my life."

She had wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time, but one person's efforts were insufficient. That's why she brought in Master Xin. Once he gained a foothold, he could turn this place upside down. The higher-ups would be heavily corrupted, making it much easier for them to do things. He could also slowly corrupt the higher-ups and invade the lower-level culture, gradually changing their thinking and making them worship China. This is a long process, and it's a bit too early to say now. However, Master Xin has already established a foothold here, which can be considered a successful first step.

Elder Wu was eager to try: "What kind of superpower do you want? I'll equip you with it, and we can discuss how to do it together."

Zhu Fanfan said, "My mental power can entangle you. You can sense it. Just follow me. I sense that they are from three different forces. We'll find their lair and head straight to the kitchen. Don't be curious about how they'll frame us. Just take the stuff and leave. Consider it collecting some interest."

After all, they had been acting alongside them during the day, and the food they received at night was their reward. They just hadn't told them anything, since these spies hadn't asked for their permission to watch their performance.

Finally, he added, "If you can't carry them all, pick the better ones."

As long as they eat well, it doesn't matter if those people don't have anything to eat; after all, this is their territory, they won't go hungry.

Elder Wu added, "We've all eaten today and aren't very hungry, so let's move out tonight and have a late-night snack. I'll divide this area into three groups. Fanfan, which group do you want to be with? Let's make the arrangements."

Zhu Fanfan refused: "Grandpa Wu, I'm used to fighting alone. I want to form my own team. I have many ways to protect myself, so I'll be fine. Having more people would be more inconvenient."

Elder Wu didn't force her, knowing she could take care of herself. He said to Hai Bu, "When Fanfan was twelve, she single-handedly caught enemy agents and criminals all over the country. She has more experience than you. You better listen to me."

Compared to Fanfan, Haibu is the one who's dragging the team down. He's never participated in a mission before. The main purpose of this trip is to make him understand the importance of teamwork. Even if he wanted to be with Fanfan, it wouldn't work. He's inexperienced and arrogant, and if something goes wrong, Fanfan won't have the energy to guide him.

Zhu Fanfan suddenly said, "Uncle Yu, please take good care of me in the future."

Yu Zhiyuan felt obligated to do so: "If they come looking for us tomorrow, we'll have already eaten all our food. Without evidence, they can't do anything to us."

He's not the kind of person who would readily admit to something just because he ate it. He won't tolerate slander without evidence. His old boss isn't someone to be trifled with either; they won't act rashly just because they hear his name.

Zhu Fanfan said, "When I came here, my grandfather told me to discuss things with you if I couldn't handle them. I might have a bad temper and would definitely cause trouble. Uncle Yu, I'll leave the rest to you."

After saying that, she bowed solemnly. Even if her grandfather hadn't said anything, she would have brought some production lines back anyway, so she needed someone to hold the line. Uncle Yu was the best shield. She had already planned to strike when a group of experts were having their exchange meeting and things were in full swing. When things got chaotic, they would take the opportunity to take away those who wanted to go back to China. The plan was good, but what if something unexpected happened? That's why Uncle Yu's diplomatic skills were especially important.

Although Yu Zhiyuan didn't know how much trouble Zhu Fanfan could cause, he still assured her: "Don't worry, with me here, no outsider can bully us Chinese."
