Grandpa Ye was woken up early this morning by Ye Chaoqun, who told him to hurry up and deliver the rose petal cake gift boxes to his relatives and friends. He didn't even have time to investigate this matter.
So, faced with such ridicule and doubt from the old general, Mr. Ye had no choice but to admit it.
"General, please don't hide anything from me anymore, just tell me!" said Old Master Ye.
The old general finally seized this opportunity to properly mock Old Master Ye, but he knew he couldn't go too far, so he told the story.
"Didn't Nan Xiangwan buy a warehouse over there?" the old general asked.
This is common knowledge; not only do the two of them know it, but people from several major families are also well aware of it.
Grandpa Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that under your instructions, Pei Jun also sold them three hundred incubators!"
"It's entirely about paving the way and providing assistance for their food street project. What's wrong with that?"
Upon hearing Old Master Ye's question, the old general smiled silently.
The statement itself is not problematic, but Mr. Ye's way of saying it is somewhat different from his own understanding.
"Do you really think that I instructed Pei Jun to sell the incubator to Nan Xiangwan?" the old general asked.
Old Master Ye frowned slightly. Right now, several families were either supporting Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu's projects or trying to sabotage them.
In short, the major families are now in extreme positions, and disputes have arisen over the technology and advancements brought from the Blue Planet.
Under these circumstances, could Pei Jun really withstand so much pressure and sell the incubator to Nan Xiangwan?
Naturally, many people would think that Pei Jun must have the support of the old general to be able to sell the incubator to Nan Xiangwan.
"Isn't that right? Could it be that Pei Jun acted on his own initiative? Can he really withstand so much pressure?" Old Master Ye asked.
He had always thought that Pei Jun was indeed a talented person, and someone who could be cultivated.
He had previously told the Pei family that if Ye Chaonan could have half of Pei Jun's wisdom and drive, they would have succeeded as the heir of the Ye family.
This is no joke. Pei Jun's ability to obtain such a high position at a military base at such a young age is definitely related to his capabilities.
The old general said, "Even at a military base, I can't control Pei Jun's every word and action, so do you really think I have that ability?"
"This kid has a lot of opinions. At least in my opinion, no one can control or restrain his words and actions!"
The two began to talk about Pei Jun again. Besides Pei Jun, the old general admired Zhan Siyu the most.
The two of them had a heated discussion and exchange, but I've heard they've become good friends.
“Indeed, if we can bring Pei Jun and Zhan Siyu to our side, what’s there to fear about losing?” Old Master Ye said with a smile.
After commenting on the two men, the old general brought the topic back to what had happened at the warehouse that morning.
The events at the warehouse are now common knowledge, and it seems the mastermind behind it has no intention of hiding them.
"So who decides the quantity of goods entering and leaving the warehouse?" the old man asked.
Since the old general has brought this issue up, it means he must know that someone is behind this, and he knows the exact identity of that person.
The old general felt helpless when Grandpa Ye asked this question.
"Can't you investigate it yourself? You old fool, if I tell you the truth, won't you sell me out?" the old general said.
This remark made Old Master Ye laugh again; he never expected that even the old general would have moments of fear.
"It's hard to believe that you can be afraid. It seems that there's more than one force behind this." Old Master Ye said.
The old general nodded, which, though not explicitly stated, essentially summarized what was happening.
He silently let out a breath. Under these circumstances, it seemed that he would have no choice but to conduct the investigation himself.
"Just as you and I joined forces to try to protect Nan Xiangwan's project, there are also several powerful families who have joined forces to try to sabotage their projects."
"Last night's food party hit them right where it hurts!"
"I originally thought this project wouldn't succeed because the food might not suit the tastes of the people on Rose Star. But the food last night was a huge hit, which has made them feel a little threatened!" the old general said.
This reason was reasonable, so even Grandpa Ye nodded in approval.
Moreover, Grandpa Ye knew very well yesterday that not only their own people were present at the food fair, but also Xue Wanqing and Fu Tingshen.
These two guys were just there to cause trouble. I heard that Zhan Siyu almost got into a fight, and Nan Xiangwan almost intervened to kick them out.
However, reason prevailed in the end, and neither Nan Xiangwan nor Zhan Siyu made a move, thus letting Xue Wanqing go.
"Yesterday's events must have had a significant impact, so I roughly know who was behind it all!" Old Master Ye said with a smile.
Many people have probably noticed what happened with Zhan Siyu, and can probably guess who the murderer is.
Moreover, the person behind it never intended to hide it, and that's the problem.
"Then it seems this matter is quite complicated, or rather, not many people have noticed it?" Old Master Ye said.
The old general shook his head. Many people had noticed this matter, but no one took it seriously.
"The people of Water Blue Star haven't attracted much attention yet, because to them, the people of Water Blue Star are inferior!" the old general said with a smile.
Although he and Grandpa Ye wouldn't have such thoughts, they were actually quite impressed with the people of Water Blue Star.
However, their ideas do not represent others. Many people on Rose Star firmly believe that their civilization is a level higher than that of Water Blue Star, and that is the problem.
Grandpa Ye let out a breath and said, "Mindset changes take time, so you can't force it!"
"However, seeing what Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan did, I believe they still have the ability to change this perception!"
They both had great confidence in Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu's project. Moreover, the project these two were working on could help their family's development in the future, so Old Master Ye had no reason not to help them.
"So you want to help them solve this problem?" the old general asked.
Grandpa Ye said with a smile, "That depends on whether they come to me for help. I can't just offer to help them, can I?"
