Zhu Fanfan asked, "Can I go see my grandfather now?"
The minister nodded, smiling kindly: "Sure, shall I take you there?"
Zhu Fanfan replied, "No need, I know the way myself."
The minister waved eagerly, "This girl should leave quickly! Staying here will only discourage people. It's not a big deal that you learned to drive in one day, but you dared to race against them on the third day and even won. You have to understand that sometimes their missions here are emergency situations. That speed and reaction speed are the result of years of accumulated experience. The driving range is not flat; it's winding and difficult to master. Add to that racing, and it's extremely difficult."
Most importantly, Zhu Fanfan is incredibly skilled in martial arts. She fought and defeated an entire battalion, and the news spread far and wide. They challenged her one by one, only to be defeated one by one. Unwilling to admit defeat, they attacked together, and she truly understood the meaning of "there are always people stronger than you." When the others learned she was here, they all came to challenge her, though they were all defeated. With people coming and going, does she think this is a marketplace? Commander, please take her away quickly. Zhu Fanfan really loves fighting, and he can't hold on much longer.
Zhu Fanfan went into her grandfather's office without knocking, which startled Zhu Jiabao, who quickly grabbed something to cover himself. Clearly, he knew his granddaughter had come. Xie Minglei even laughed and said, "Fanfan is such a cute child, she's not ignorant. Look how scared you are."
He had a very good impression of Zhu Fanfan. He had heard before that the Zhu family's New Year picture dolls were well-behaved and sensible, and their smiles were sweeter than candy. Apart from Zhu Jiabao saying that his granddaughter was spoiled and had a bad temper, no one else had a bad word to say about her. If you talk to a child properly, how could she not understand?
Zhu Fanfan went straight to her grandfather and asked, "Zhu Jiabao, what exactly are you trying to scheme against me this time?"
Zhu Jiabao replied confidently, "What could I possibly be scheming about? I'm working to get you an assistant position, and there will be good news soon. You should be in the automotive department, why are you back? Be careful someone reports you."
Zhu Fanfan wasn't buying it: "Don't you know that the more you're in the wrong, the more arrogant you become? What are you feeling guilty about? Have you forgotten what my conditions were for joining the army? You'd better tell me clearly what you want from me, otherwise I will refuse to cooperate and will be discharged directly. Let's see if I can do that."
She said that her grandfather had been acting strangely for the past two months and must be hiding something from her. At first, she thought driving was fun and didn't think much of it, so she studied hard. The minister said that a driver who can't repair cars isn't a good soldier, so she followed her master to learn how to repair cars. She learned how to repair cars and trucks. Her master taught her very carefully, not only teaching her how to repair trucks, but also teaching her some taboos for driving in the wild and what to do in case of emergencies.
She hadn't thought much of it before, but now, judging from her grandfather's expression, he was definitely up to something. She hadn't expected him to slip up so easily. Although the skill she had learned was hers, she was still quite annoyed.
Zhu Jiabao felt a little guilty after being exposed: "I just thought you should get some experience and earn a second-class merit, so as to shut up the gossip and tell everyone that you were specially recruited based on your own merit."
Zhu Fanfan couldn't understand: "Is it really worth getting a third-class merit just for driving a car? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
Zhu Jiabao whispered, "It's not driving, it's leading the team. You're leading the team to suppress the bandits."
Zhu Fanfan looked at her grandfather in disbelief: "Are you out of your mind or am I hearing things? All the robbers and bandits have been wiped out, and there are still some? Are you kidding me?"
Bandits were rampant in the early days of the People's Republic of China, but the army wiped them out. Those who committed heinous crimes were executed, and some were even recruited and are now living peacefully as farmers. Why would they become restless and run away to Liangshan again?
Zhu Jiabao explained: "This is our deduction. There are unusual movements in Yunnan. There is a place that has been plagued by miasma for many years, so few people go to the mountains. Recently, we discovered that people who went to the mountains have disappeared. Later, everyone who went to look for them disappeared. Some people saw people disappear while walking and were so frightened that they rushed down the mountain to ask for help. Now we are destroying the Four Olds and feudal superstitions, so we can't talk about them, but people are in a state of panic. The border guards are also helpless and asked us for help."
Because so many people had disappeared, they went to investigate and found that several soldiers were missing. Eventually, someone came out, but he was disoriented. Doctors said that his nerves had been damaged and he was likely insane.
Zhu Fanfan was puzzled: "This is a paranormal event, shouldn't it be handled by the Dragon Group? Our army doesn't perform exorcisms."
Zhu Jiabao quickly stopped her: "Grandma, keep your voice down. What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know what the situation is?"
Nowadays, if we want to break down feudal superstitions, even saying that doing bad things will be punished by lightning can be considered a feudal remnant, a counter-revolutionary mentality, and will be criticized and struggled against. So be careful what you say.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened? I'm just a new recruit leading a team to suppress bandits. They didn't even bother to give me permission, let alone submit a report."
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to say, "Later, the Dragon Group went there. There were no supernatural problems, but they found drug residue. Even those with superpowers were injured. Only those with mental abilities could go in. They were short-handed, so they reported the situation to our group and said that your mental strength was strong enough."
So, she was betrayed by Zhuge Qianxing? Zhu Fanfan took a deep breath and was about to rush to her grandfather to yell at him when Zhu Jiabao anticipated her move and jumped off the table. His speed was so fast that Xie Minglei almost spilled his tea on himself.
Zhu Fanfan came over wanting to argue with her grandfather, but Zhu Jiabao pulled Xie Minglei up and hid behind him. Zhu Fanfan was so angry she almost laughed. Grandpa Xie wasn't as tall or strong as her grandfather, and he was hiding behind him like a panda hiding behind a small tree. It was so obvious that she could reach him in one go. What was the point of hiding?
Forced into a corner, Xie Minglei could only advise, "Let's sit down and talk this out. There's nothing that can't be resolved. This time we're cooperating with the Dragon Group, so your safety is guaranteed."
Zhu Jiabao gripped Xie Minglei's shoulders tightly from behind and said, "That girl has already agreed to the mission. She's in a bad mood right now and wants to take it out on me."
So he needs to find a scapegoat. He claims to be no less capable than young people and is a leading figure in the martial arts world. If others find out that he was defeated by his own granddaughter, what will become of his prestige? He needs to quickly tell Old Xie what this girl's purpose is and get rid of her as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he loses face, Old Xie will also lose face, and Old Xie won't laugh at him later.
They were old comrades-in-arms. As soon as Zhu Jiabao said those words, he knew what the other party was up to. He cursed inwardly, thinking that he shouldn't have made friends with Zhu Jiabao. He was always the one who suffered.
