Zhu Fanfan guessed that her grandfather wouldn't let her tell her grandmother, so she snorted and turned away, ignoring her grandfather.
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to say, "Can Grandpa trade you a secret in exchange?"
He's on his way to the hospital, and if Fanfan complains, his wife will definitely punish him, so he has to appease this little devil.
So he added another condition: "Grandpa, tell you some gossip about your Uncle Lin. The girls he went on blind dates with were quite eccentric. Some were there just to freeload off him, some wanted to accuse him of molestation after just one meeting, and some were pregnant and looking for a father for their child."
Zhu Fanfan was registered under the name of the third brother, Zhu Ji, because his wife insisted that, according to the relationship between Lin Wu and Zhu Ya, he should be called Uncle Lin.
Zhu Fanfan was somewhat tempted. She didn't have any new information to share at home, so she was very curious. However, she didn't want to forgive her grandfather, which made her very conflicted.
Zhu Jiabao added, "You heard me telling your grandma about the Dragon Group, right? Let me tell you about the amazing things that happened there. Will you turn around and forgive your grandpa?"
Zhu Fanfan thought for a moment and turned around. She could forgive her grandfather this time, and there wouldn't be a next time.
Zhu Jiabao asked, "You go to the hospital with your grandmother every day, and you know that she treats mostly old revolutionaries. Do you know where they are from?"
Zhu Fanfan thought of that scarecrow. Could it be that there were members of the Dragon Group inside? It's not a secret that there are superhumans.
Zhu Jiabao explained: "The Dragon Group has never made its name public because it is afraid of causing panic. The people in it have extraordinary abilities and are called superhumans. After liberation, they are responsible for some abnormal events that ordinary people cannot access, so the average person would not know about them."
These things are not secrets to those in power, but they are still required to be kept secret. After all, some people still hold feudal superstitions, and if they were to be exploited by those with ulterior motives, it could have a terrible impact.
"So you must be careful not to let anyone notice anything unusual. When you don't have the ability to fight against the outside world, you must endure it. Only when no one can do anything to you can you release your superpowers."
Although he didn't know if Fanfan would have superpowers, he figured it wouldn't hurt to encourage him. His goal was to get Fanfan into the Dragon Group and make him admire the people there.
Zhu Fanfan nodded solemnly. Her goal was to live a life of ease and comfort, so she naturally wouldn't cause herself any trouble and would definitely try to be as shameless as possible.
Zhu Jiabao continued, "I've only ever seen someone with superpowers use their abilities once. It was during a war. Once, we marched for a long time without water and were almost dehydrated, on the verge of death. It was a superpowered person sent from above who used their abilities to bring water up from underground. However, they were weak for a long time. That was the only time I've ever seen it. They always support the most difficult teams."
He watched as the man seemed to be casting a spell, and water suddenly appeared in the dry ground. It was quite miraculous. However, these secrets could only be known by the leader at the time, who helped to cover them up, for fear that if others found out, it would be detrimental to the superhumans.
Because their health was generally poor, some people were exhausted, while others were directly killed. His old friend said that he met one who aged ten years immediately after using his superpower, and his physical strength obviously could not keep up. As far as he knew, during the war, superhumans used their superpowers and did not have time to recover before using them again, which eventually led to their deaths. It has to be said that they really helped a lot at that time.
Some people possess extraordinary spiritual power, capable of concealing an entire team so that even if the enemy encounters them, they cannot see them. However, the consequence of such actions is that the person dies shortly afterward; the price paid by superhumans is too high.
Seeing that Zhu Fanfan was a little scared, Zhu Jiabao changed his words: "Now these people have formed a special department called the Dragon Group. Now that people's living conditions are better, they can recover after using their superpowers as long as they rest well. There is no danger of overexertion. Moreover, in the process, they have also improved their training methods."
So keep it up, kid! When she grows up, let Lin Wu train her and make sure to bring out her superpowers.
"The benefits and treatment inside are top-notch, comparable to those of us old revolutionaries. Moreover, they have a lot of authority, directly connecting with the President of the country. They don't need to give face to anyone, and ordinary people can't touch them."
Looking into her grandfather's eyes, Zhu Fanfan felt a chill run down her spine. Don't try to trick her into working hard. She's interested but not passionate about it. She's determined to give up and no one can make her improve.
With great power comes great responsibility. She chose psychology because she wanted to understand people's thoughts, find their weaknesses, and then make them stop bothering her. She just wanted to be alone.
Zhu Jiabao continued, "Your Uncle Lin used to be in the Dragon Group, but after your uncle's father and aunt died, he felt that your grandmother and I couldn't take care of ourselves, so he specially asked to be transferred here. It's such a pity, such a good young man."
They were already on their deathbeds, but with the country backing them up, their later years were secure. However, Lin Wu, that loyal and sentimental boy, insisted that he and Zhu Ya were sworn brothers, simply because Zhu Ya had said before going to aid Korea that if anything happened to him, he should entrust his parents to Lin Wu and that he would take care of them no matter what.
The Dragon Group! A top-tier department. To come here as a lowly bodyguard just because of a promise is such a waste of talent.
"He and your second uncle and a few others were sworn brothers. Unfortunately, after liberation, only he and your second uncle survived. Unexpectedly, your second uncle also died during the Korean War, leaving him all alone. He didn't want to get married because he divided his salary into several parts and gave them to the families of his sworn brothers. He was afraid that if he got married, his wife would not agree to him supporting his brothers' families."
Zhu Fanfan nodded. That's for sure. Who gets married without wanting to make their life better? They work hard to earn money to support someone else. If it were her, she wouldn't even consider quitting. It would be kind of her not to kill the other person. But then again, from an outsider's perspective, this kind of man is admirable from the bottom of one's heart.
Zhu Jiabao sighed, "He's really honest. When his salary wasn't enough, I always made up for it. This kid has had a tough time."
Actually, he didn't approve of constantly sending money to his brothers' families. He felt that helping them out when needed was enough, since his brothers' deaths weren't because of him, and he still had a long life ahead of him, yet he was trapped in the past and couldn't move on.
With the passage of time, who knows if those people's appetites have grown too big.
Zhu Fanfan disagreed as well. Perhaps she couldn't empathize. In her heart, she was the most important person. Only when she was well and had the ability would she help others within her capacity. She would never compromise herself for the sake of outsiders. She simply couldn't empathize.
Perhaps it's because she's naturally aloof; all she can say about this kind of man is that he's a real man, and she supports his decision not to marry, otherwise it wouldn't be fair to that girl.
