The outcome was basically decided. Before it ended, Zhu Fanfan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yu, did you offend my grandfather?"
When her grandfather spoke to her, he gave her some advice: if there was something she couldn't solve, she should just push it onto Uncle Yu. No matter how big or small the problem was, she could make him take the blame. If Uncle Yu asked, she could openly tell him the whole process of taking the blame without hiding anything.
Yu Zhiyuan was puzzled: "No, I was a soldier under him when we were fighting before, but I only served him for two years."
At that time, the old leader was very strict with them, but only in official matters. He was very kind in private. When he learned that he had joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he even praised him to his superior. He knew this because his superior mentioned it during a conversation.
Zhu Fanfan couldn't bear it and said, "My grandfather said if I cause trouble here, just mention your name."
Yu Zhiyuan's face was expressionless, even somewhat helpless: "Did your grandfather tell you not to hide the details of the trouble you caused from me?"
Zhu Fanfan nodded; it has to be said that they really had a tacit understanding.
Yu Zhiyuan looked up at the sky speechlessly; the old commander really hadn't changed at all.
Unexpectedly, Pan Zechang joined in the fun, saying, "When we set off, our old commander told us that we should only cause trouble and not clean up the mess. When we get to you, we should just cling to your leg and cry."
Seeing that the director's expression was not good, Ming Yunshu wanted to say a few words to ease the tension: "No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes..."
Yu Zhiyuan asked incredulously, "You caused trouble, and you expect me to take the blame?"
Ming Yunshu: ...What trouble could he possibly cause?
Elder Wu felt that Director Yu needed some time to calm down and began to advise, "Director Yu..."
To everyone's surprise, Yu Zhiyuan was so frightened that he almost jumped up: "I can't take responsibility for the trouble you've caused."
Elder Wu: ...
Seeing that the director was almost reflexively responding, he said, "Director, Uncle Zhu is acknowledging your abilities..."
Director Yu interrupted him directly: "Shut up. You were trained by Chief Zhu, so you'll only side with him."
Ming Yunshu was speechless, the director's tone making it seem as if he wasn't on Uncle Zhu's side.
Yu Zhiyuan spoke very gently to Zhu Fanfan: "Fanfan, it's okay to cause trouble, but don't go too far. If it's something like a fight, your uncle will handle it for you. But if it gets any more serious, don't get involved, okay? This isn't our country, after all. If it's beyond your uncle's capacity, even if you crush your uncle, you can't handle it."
Pan Zechang seized the opportunity to speak: "I just..."
Yu Zhiyuan interrupted him directly: "Shut up! How can you say that a real man makes someone else clean up his mess after he's done something wrong?"
Pan Zechang immediately gave a fake smile: "I understand, Uncle."
Ming Yunshu advised, "Young people are hot-blooded and it's normal for them to love sports. Besides, Fanfan only beat up bad guys. She beat up all the members of the Revolutionary Committee back then, which made them afraid to lay a hand on people easily. Have you forgotten?"
Yu Zhiyuan glanced at Ming Yunshu and said, "I can't forget how Fanfan beat those little Red Army soldiers into submission. During that time, none of the other prisoners were tortured."
Back then, his sixth uncle was taken away. He was the only elder in the Yu family, who devoted his whole life to the revolution. He came from a poor background, but he never expected to be wrongly accused of being a capitalist in his old age. Originally, the Revolutionary Committee did not intend to let him go because they had made a move against Chief Zhu. Fanfan retaliated against them by dealing with the entire families of those Little Red Army soldiers, which also made the Little Red Army soldiers hesitant to act. For a whole six months, they behaved themselves. They only interrogated and verbally insulted his sixth uncle, but did not lay a hand on him, which spared his sixth uncle's life.
However, Uncle Liu was still demoted. Later, Chief Zhu asked Fanfan to visit Uncle Liu. It was Fanfan who brought back the letter that Uncle Liu gave him. Uncle Liu was very grateful to Fanfan for this. Chief Zhu asked him to handle the aftermath purely to put his mind at ease.
The experts who were about to leave overheard this, and Lei Bin suddenly asked, "Did your grandfather go to the Revolutionary Committee and beat up a Little Red Soldier?"
Zhu Fanfan nodded: "My grandfather was imprisoned three years ago, and was subsequently suspended for six months."
Lei Bin and the others exchanged glances, and Lei Bin spoke first: "Oh, it's you! How are your studies going, kid? Are you interested in scientific research?"
Zhu Fanfan directly refused: "I have been studying under Dr. Mu Zhibo since I was a child, and I am sure I have no interest in scientific research."
Upon hearing Mu Zhibo's name, Lei Bin's attitude improved even more: "You're Old Mu's student?"
Zhu Fanfan hurriedly said, "He is my grandmother's patient. I just didn't want to go to school. He taught me basic knowledge. Strictly speaking, I am not considered Master Mu's student."
Lei Bin ignored him: "Okay, okay, we'll be familiar with each other from now on. Come visit our research institute more often. Aren't you studying medicine? Why did you join the army?"
He remembered this girl. Her grandmother was the vice president of the institute, and her grandfather was a general. Old Mu always praised her for being quick-witted, but unfortunately, she had no interest in scientific research. She had a high talent for medicine and was known as a little miracle doctor. In particular, her grandfather had been arrested and suspended from his post. For six months, she made the Revolutionary Committee very uneasy. Later, he heard that her grandfather had been reinstated and they had moved to the compound, so they didn't have time to cause trouble. Only then did the young soldiers become arrogant again. If someone was from their research institute, they would be a treasure. Would the young soldiers dare to cause trouble?
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, and Ming Yunshu quickly said, "Fanfan still feels that serving the country is more suitable for her."
Lei Bin was about to say something when Ming Yunshu interrupted him: "Fanfan has another operation tonight. Let's have a late-night snack. I'll take her back to rest and recharge."
No one objected. After Zhu Fanfan left, they explained the reason to Elder Lei.
On the way, Zhu Fanfan said to her godfather, "I've let go of everything, you don't need to be so careful."
Ming Yunshu simply said, "You don't need to pretend in front of me."
Zhu Fanfan really wanted to refute it, but he was the one who couldn't let go, so in the end he didn't say anything.
In the dead of night, Zhu Fanfan and her group split into three directions. Zhu Fanfan went to the furthest house, following her mental energy. The mental energy she had placed on the group during the day had been tied there when they returned to their employer's house. She had originally wanted to investigate the other party's background, but now that she was out in the open, she could directly ask Master Xin for confirmation.
Upon reaching the end of her spiritual energy journey, she arrived at a magnificent house. Zhu Fanfan went straight inside, where the guards were practically nonexistent. She easily moved around and found the kitchen. Since she didn't know whether the guards were friend or foe, she simply took some food and left.
She then went to see Master Xin. She had been there before because it was difficult for Master Xin to establish himself here, so she came to help him establish his authority and give him a place. Now that he has reached a point where the country is paying attention to him, his position is considered secure.
When Zhu Fanfan arrived, Master Xin was sitting in the study and was not surprised to see Zhu Fanfan come in.
