Zhu Fanfan retorted, "Didn't I say that?"
Zhu Jiabao retorted, "When did you say that?"
Zhu Fanfan had no choice but to explain: "The ungrateful wretch who got robbed and beaten is from the Jing family. Uncle Fang thought the name 'Inoue Frog' was strange, so he investigated and found out that he really is an enemy agent. Moreover, his family recently had their two lost daughters return, so they might be planning something big. We're afraid we can't handle it, so we're requesting backup."
Zhu Jiabao saw the old leader on the other end of the line nod: "Where's Fang Zhiguo? Let him answer the phone."
Zhu Fanfan honestly replied, "He had a minor altercation with the police at the Public Security Bureau and is currently hospitalized, but it won't affect his activities."
Zhu Jiabao: ...He again suspected that the minor conflict between Fang Zhiguo and the police was instigated by Fanfan.
Zhu Jiabao said, "I will try my best to arrange for someone to go and assist you. Don't make any rash moves before someone makes contact with you, especially you, Zhu Fanfan. Behave yourself and don't think you're so brave just because you have good basic skills. If I find out you're impulsive, I'll tell your grandma."
Zhu Fanfan scoffed: "Grandpa, how childish are you? Telling on others is something only children do. You're so old."
Zhu Jiabao retorted, "So what if I'm old? Have you forgotten the saying, 'A man is a boy until he dies'? I'm not dead yet, so I should still be a boy. Your grandpa is still young!"
Zhu Fanfan couldn't help but complain: "Yes, yes, you're still young, even younger than me. You're so greedy, saying you'd buy me snacks, but you ate them all yourself. You even ate all the snacks my grandpa sent me. Young grandpa, you're a real young man."
Zhu Jiabao immediately retorted, "That's still better than you, a lazy and pretentious little girl. You're also cunning, having Ming Laosan and his group completely fooled. Be careful they find out and beat you up."
Zhu Fanfan retorted, "When did I ever outsmart them? I was just teaching them lessons. Look at them, who doesn't admire me? And who do you think I'm lazy and pretentious? I'm just lucky to have a good grandfather who carries the burden for me. If you're jealous, go find your own grandfather."
Zhu Jiabao's temper flared up immediately: "You brat, you're jealous of me? What do you have to be jealous of? You have a grandfather, and I have a grandfather too. Let me tell you, my grandfather treats me better than your grandfather treats you. Why would I be jealous of you?"
Even the old leader across the street couldn't stand it anymore. Only three-year-olds would argue like this! He went straight to Zhu Jiabao, but before he could speak, Zhu Jiabao pushed him aside: "You're blocking the light, move aside, don't interrupt my argument with the little girl—"
Zhu Jiabao was stunned. He actually pushed his old leader and complained that he was blocking the light. Was he out of his mind?
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Fanfan's expression changed instantly, and her voice returned to its sweet and gentle tone: "Grandpa, you're old, please don't be angry. Fanfan was wrong, I apologize to you, I won't be angry anymore. I was just too angry and spoke without thinking."
Zhu Jiabao's response was: "Remember to settle the phone bill for your grandfather."
"Smack!"
The sound of the phone being hung up made Zhu Fanfan's ears twitch, showing how hard Grandpa had thrown the phone.
Zhu Jiabao chuckled dryly, "Actually, I usually have a very good temper. I was just controlled by Fanfan's emotions. My mind went blank and I didn't see anyone. I offended my old leader. I apologize to you. I will definitely pay attention to my emotions in the future and will not do it again."
The old leader didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. Was this speed of apologizing a family ancestor of the Zhu family?
"I'll take care of things in Shanghai, you don't need to worry about it. As a grandfather, you should act like one. How can you argue with a five-year-old?"
Zhu Jiabao retorted, "That's because you don't know how infuriating that girl is. It's considered good-tempered not to hit her. I only said a few words and didn't lay a hand on her, so I'm considered to have a good temper."
The old leader knew everything about the Zhu family: "You should tell that to your wife."
Everyone knows that Zhu Jiabao is henpecked; his wife has the final say at home. I heard that Vice President Liu spoils his daughter rotten.
Zhu Jiabao fell silent. He would get a beating from his wife even if he tried to discipline the little girl, so how could he dare to complain?
Zhu Fanfan was hung up on and realized that someone was with her grandfather. Fortunately, she knew that phone calls were being tapped and were not safe, so she could only say what she was allowed to say. If she had known that someone was with her grandfather, she would have been well-behaved and sensible. It was all her grandfather's fault for not giving her a hint. Now her true temper had been exposed.
Zhu Fanfan didn't expect that her grandfather's "as soon as possible" meant early the next morning. She hadn't even had breakfast when Qishan's driver asked her to leave. On the way, the driver explained, "The experts have already arrived at the police station, and Fang Zhiguo is there too. They're just waiting for you."
While munching on the large steamed bun prepared by Sister Xu, Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "Uncle Fang is out of the ban?"
The driver explained seriously, "Fang Zhiguo is just recuperating in the hospital, he's not being imprisoned. Those two police officers have already been detained. Fang Zhiguo is innocent; the bureau chief clarified that this morning."
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "What kind of expert came?"
The driver explained, "They're said to be from Beijing. They happened to be nearby providing psychological counseling to soldiers who had just completed their missions, so they were temporarily seconded."
Soldiers go on missions and experience a baptism of blood. Sometimes they kill the enemy, and sometimes they watch their teammates get killed. They have experienced all kinds of death and danger, and their minds are often in a state of extreme tension. The pressure they bear is unimaginable, and they will have many negative feelings afterward, so they need psychological counseling.
Sometimes, you might encounter a mole, and you need to use psychological suggestion to induce them to reveal their plans. Therefore, psychologists in the political department of the army are highly respected.
When Zhu Fanfan arrived at the police station, she saw the expert the driver had described as very capable. However, he was not quite what she had imagined; he was unshaven and unkempt, clearly having rushed over in a hurry.
Besides the expert, there was also a soldier with them. The reason we knew they were soldiers was because their upright posture and righteous demeanor made them easily recognizable.
Upon seeing the arrival of the group, the expert said, "Zhu Fanfan and I will go in together; you can wait outside."
Zhu Fanfan asked, puzzled, "Why did I have to go in with you?"
The expert pushed up his glasses: "Don't you want to join the fun?"
Zhu Fanfan immediately replied, "I'll follow the expert's instructions."
The expert laughed: "No need to call me expert. I'm older than your father. My surname is Li and my given name is Hui. Just call me Uncle Li!"
Zhu Fanfan thought to himself, "You're almost as old as my grandfather, and you still have the nerve to ask me to call you uncle?"
Li Hui didn't care about Zhu Fanfan's attitude and said, "The frog in the well has been worn down enough, he should confess soon."
Zhu Fanfan was full of questions: "You haven't even met him in person, how do you know he's about to have a breakdown?"
