The news that the Kikuno family's old house had been burned spread throughout Kyoto the next day. All the noble families in Kyoto sent people to express their condolences and to inquire about the news. The Fukuyama family, in particular, tried to gauge the Kikuno family's losses in their words.

"The servants were absent at night, which caused the fire. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time, and the damage was not great. It will not affect the wedding in a month. Please rest assured!"

Masato Kikuno's expression was calm, but he was actually forcing a smile.

The old man’s acting skills were quite good and he successfully concealed it from all the aristocratic families. The wedding with the Fukuyama family was held as usual.

Chinatsu Kikuno was also found, but the killer organization Lion made a huge demand, asking Masato Kikuno to pay a ransom of six million, otherwise they would not release him.

Masato Kikuno did not dare to offend the killer organization, so he had to swallow the loss. He scraped together money from everywhere and even sold some stocks to raise the ransom money to redeem his cowardly son and daughter-in-law, as well as Chinatsu Kikuno.

The last time they redeemed Kikuno Chinatsu, they paid a lot of money to China to build a factory. This time they paid a lot again, and coupled with the loss of the treasure, the Kikuno family was severely damaged. Kikuno Masato was angry and anxious, and finally collapsed.

Masato Kikuno, who was bedridden, called Taro Kikuno, whom he valued the most, and asked him to come back as soon as possible to take charge of the family business.

Ruan Qiqi and the others didn't know about these things. They were floating on the sea at the time, so bored that they wanted to jump into the sea.

It was very dark in the cargo hold. They didn't dare turn on the lights, let alone go out for some fresh air. All they had to do every day was lie down. Mom could run out for some fresh air, but they could only stay in the cargo hold.

"How long will it take to get to Hong Kong?"

Ruan Qiqi stretched lazily out of boredom.

"Two days."

Xia Tao took out bread and water from her bag and distributed food to everyone.

After eating bread for several days in a row, everyone felt a little nauseous when they saw bread and couldn't swallow it. Mama Jiang came over with a can in her mouth, put the can in front of Manzai, and signaled him to open it with her paw.

"Woof... open it, it's delicious!"

Mamajiang wagged its tail vigorously. It smelled the fragrance coming from the can and was so greedy.

The light in the cargo hold was very dim, and one could only vaguely see that it was a can, but the pattern and words could not be made out clearly. Ruan Qiqi picked up a can and opened it. A rich aroma wafted out, making everyone's mouth water.

"It smells so good. I should have eaten this if I had known."

Lu Ye swallowed hard. Canned food must be better than dry bread. He rubbed Mama Jiang's head hard and praised, "That's amazing. You eat first!"

“Woof…”

Mamajiang wagged her tail proudly, grinning happily, and moved the opened can in front of Manzai, motioning for him to eat first.

"You eat."

Manzai gently touched Mamajiang's head and let it eat first. There were so many cans of food in the cargo hold, enough for them to eat.

Lu Ye opened a box and found that it was full of canned food. He opened a can happily and the aroma of meat filled the cargo hold, making everyone drool. Even the most reserved Mo Jinsong swallowed his saliva several times.

"It's delicious. The Japanese food is terrible, but the canned food is pretty good."

Lu Ye finished a can and praised it highly, saying that it tasted better than what he had eaten in a restaurant in Kyoto.

Ruan Qiqi also tried one. It was indeed very good, but a little bland and fishy. But compared to the dry bread, these canned foods were already a supreme delicacy.

For the remaining three days, they basically ate canned food. After the cargo ship docked, they took the opportunity to slip out. Lu Ye and Xia Tao had been here before, and neither of them took the proper route, so they were familiar with the place and easily avoided the staff.

An hour later, they were walking on the bustling streets of the port city. Each of them was carrying two safes. They were unkempt, their clothes were wrinkled like dried pickles, and they smelled like salted fish.

Passersby who passed by them all covered their noses tightly and looked at them with disgust.

Another hour later, they checked into a luxurious hotel in Hong Kong City. The hotel receptionist was contemptuous at first, but after Ruan Qiqi took out a stack of US dollars, he immediately became respectful, and his performance of arrogance at first and then respectfulness was vivid.

After taking a nice shower in the hotel and changing into clean clothes, Ruan Qiqi finally came back to life.

She lay on the sofa by the French window, drinking red wine, looking at the beautiful Victoria Harbor outside the window, and sighed with satisfaction, "This is life!"

"Qiqi, what does it say? Is it canned dog meat?"

Lu Ye looked at the can for a long time but couldn't understand the words on it. He wanted to know what kind of meat was in the can. It was delicious.

"What are you doing with this can? Aren't you tired of it yet?"

Ruan Qiqi glared. Hong Kong City is a food city with delicious food everywhere. She didn't want to eat canned food.

Lu Ye chuckled and thought it was delicious.

The can was written in the language of Sakura Country, and there was a cute dog portrait. Ruan Qiqi drank red wine while reading the words. As she read, the red wine in her mouth lost its flavor and her stomach began to churn.

Grass!

It's canned dog food!

She actually ate canned dog food for three days. No wonder Mamajiang ate it so happily.

She really wanted to fuck...something, but she didn't know which one.

Ruan Qiqi gritted her teeth and translated it for Lu Ye. She couldn't be the only one who felt disgusted.

"Dogs eat so well? It's a waste of food."

Lu Ye’s first reaction was anger. His dog eats better than him. How could this be possible!

"Aren't you disgusted?" Ruan Qiqi asked.

"What's so disgusting about this? I've even eaten rats before!"

Lu Ye disagreed.

Ruan Qiqi drank the red wine in the glass in one breath, feeling very upset, so she ran next door to tell Mo Jinsong and the others.

"Dogs eat such good canned food? I wonder if dogs in China will be able to eat canned food in 20 years."

Mo Jinsong immediately thought of people's livelihood from the canned dog food. The people of China could not eat canned food, but the dogs of Sakura Country could. The gap between China and Sakura Country was too big. He hoped that what Ruan Qiqi said was true and that China could catch up with Sakura Country in twenty years.

"If dogs can eat it, so can people."

Xia Tao has sufficient reasons.

"tasty!"

Manzai smiled naively and took out a few cans from his pocket. He also hid a few and brought them out for Qiqi and Yeye.

Ruan Qiqi slapped his forehead and went back to his room in frustration.

She was the only one being pretentious from beginning to end, and she felt a little ashamed.

They rested in the port city for a day and then returned inland, directly to Tanzhou.

Ruan Qiqi persuaded Xia Tao to hand over the 4.5 million U.S. dollars in full. The country is currently short of foreign exchange, and this money can help solve the urgent problem.

759 gave each of them a bonus of 50,000 yuan, which was enough for them to live a luxurious life.

Ruan Qiqi wrote a concise report and handed it to Pei Yuan.

"What did you do with those weapons? They were all destroyed?"

Pei Yuan's tone was a little regretful. These were all new weapons. It would be great if they could be brought back for research. However, he also knew that it was easy to destroy weapons but not so easy to bring them back.

"I hid it. I'll take you to get it later."

Ruan Qiqi kept Pei Yuan in suspense and hooked him into hiding. No matter how he asked, she refused to tell him where she was hiding.

"Let's talk about it after the New Year. I'm exhausted. Anyway, it's safe hiding there. I can't run away. Also, I won't take any missions before the New Year. I need to rest."

Ruan Qiqi yawned. She had been working too hard recently and needed to take a good rest.

Pei Yuan naturally had no objection. He approved her leave and then wrote a new report for her, focusing on the batch of weapons and saying that they could be retrieved after the new year.

Ruan Qiqi returned to the compound and rested for only one day when Director Lin called like a death warrant, "Qiqi, you are finally back. The design draft of the new packaging is out. Can you come and help me make a decision? I am dazzled by it and can't make up my mind."
