Xie Minglei got angry: "I've been telling you for ages that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and everyone has their own path. We need to learn to let go. Didn't you hear me? Are you deaf?"
Zhu Jiabao then realized, "I thought you were upset because Yuanyuan was being pestered by the Jiang family boy, and that's why you were saying this!"
Xie Minglei almost started a fight: "Who does Jiang Yu think he is to make me unhappy? I heard he's taken a liking to Fanfan, and you even came to his door to tell him not to get his hopes up."
Zhu Jiabao also got anxious: "None of the Jiang family's grandsons are good enough for me, let alone the worst one. Don't put him in the same category as my Fanfan."
Xie Minglei knew that Zhu Jiabao doted on Zhu Fanfan like the apple of his eye, and this had touched a nerve. He immediately apologized, "Okay, okay, I misspoke. Fanfan is leaving tonight. Can you cheer up and not make the child worry?"
Seeing that Zhu Fanfan was still carefree, Zhu Jiabao said angrily, "Do you think she's worried? And you, Zhu Fanfan, be more careful when you're out there. Don't let people scheme against you. When you were little, you were very clever and knew how to use a scheme. But now that you're grown up, you just rush in and do things without thinking. Use your brain more when you encounter problems."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Her combat skills have increased, so she can just go out and do things in a simple, brutal, and effective way, which is much faster than using her brain.
Xie Minglei felt that if things continued like this, they might as well skip dinner and just turn it into a denunciation meeting: "The child is going to the assembly tonight, can't you let the child go happily?"
Zhu Jiabao said nothing, took out his lunchbox, and said to Xie Minglei, "Eat whatever you want, go get your own rice."
Xie Minglei glanced at Zhu Jiabao disdainfully: "I've already gotten my food, I'm just waiting to eat your roast duck! Wait for me to come back and we'll eat."
After Xie Minglei left, Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "Grandpa Xie seems to know you very well." He had only gotten his food.
Zhu Jiabao, in a fit of despair, said: "Old Xie's brain is like a computer, it can turn a hundred corners in one go. I've been his partner for many years, what doesn't he know about me? If he really wants to get rid of me, I won't even have a chance to plead my innocence, I'll be sentenced to death directly, the kind of death that even all my old bosses combined can't save."
They were partners when they fought. He commanded the charge and Lao Xie advised and reassured people from the rear. They were like a golden duo. He had absolute confidence that Lao Xie would always stand behind him. Fanfan would understand this kind of camaraderie that was worth risking his life for.
A little while later, Xie Minglei came over, took his white rice, and started eating without any hesitation. Although Zhu Jiabao spoke bluntly, he added several pieces of meat to Xie Minglei's rice. He knew that Xie Minglei's family was frugal and rarely ate meat. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but they were used to hardship and didn't crave rich food. However, without some meat, their bodies wouldn't get enough oil and fat. Even if Xie Minglei didn't ask, Zhu Jiabao would still ask him to eat meat, and he wouldn't let Xie Minglei refuse. Xie Minglei knew this would happen, and he went from resisting to taking the initiative. This was the only way Zhu Jiabao could control him.
After finishing their meal, Xie Minglei said to Zhu Fanfan, "I collected a lot of information about Geli Snow Mountain this morning. Our unit also has records of it. Previously, some Japanese spies were forced into a corner and tried to escape into the mountain, but they were stopped by the people at the foot of the mountain. However, those people were inhuman and killed the villagers before escaping into the mountain. Many of our people who followed them got lost and wandered around for a long time before fainting. When they woke up, they were already in the villagers' homes. Also, some villagers who were killed came back to life. Some of our comrades from the medical team checked the villagers and found that they had stopped breathing, but they were indeed alive. Even their wounds had disappeared. The Dragon Group should also have records of this. The villager did not show any abnormalities afterward."
After taking a sip of water, Xie Minglei continued, "A few days later, a small avalanche occurred there. The bodies of the Japanese spies were all washed down, covered in minor wounds, and they bled to death. Unfortunately, those Japanese soldiers were all strangers, clearly from several years ago. I don't know what their intentions were. A few years later, the Japanese soldiers who went up the mountain that time were washed down again, with the same wounds. The Dragon Group did the final examination. After repeated confirmation by the Dragon Group, they determined that the wounds were caused by snow. It's very strange there."
Zhu Jiabao asked, "Where did you get this information? I haven't seen any records of this. What kind of snow can kill someone?"
Xie Minglei rolled his eyes at him: "Just listen to what I tell you to listen to. Why talk so much nonsense? If such a record is identified as related to superpowers, we won't be allowed to keep that part. You should have forgotten about it over time. As for Xue killing people, it was the Dragon Group that made the determination, and they didn't explain it to us."
Zhu Jiabao fell silent. In terms of memory, he couldn't compare to Lao Xie. If Lao Xie said it was true, then it was true.
Xie Minglei continued, "The later soldiers didn't believe in superstitions and asked the mountain people. They said there was a mountain god on the mountain who had always protected them. The avalanche was the mountain god's anger, and those people died because they blasphemed the mountain god and were executed by him. The people there have great reverence for the mountain god, so don't slander or talk about him. If you go up the mountain, they will definitely stop you. Don't confront them head-on. I heard they are short of food there. You can negotiate with them using food, but don't use meat. They have a lot of livestock there, so they don't lack meat. Food is even more precious."
Zhu Fanfan wrote it down: "Thank you, Grandpa Xie."
Xie Minglei laughed: "No need to thank me. It's because you brought honor to us. You are the only team in our unit with supernatural abilities. In the future, we won't need to ask the Dragon Group for help when we encounter supernatural events. We can solve them ourselves."
He'd run into a lot of obstacles with the Dragon Group. When their abilities couldn't solve the situation, they couldn't spare anyone to help. Even when someone did come, their attitude was infuriating. Now that they had their own team of superpowered individuals, why would they need to ask them for help? It's even better now; they'd have to ask the military for help. They'd save face and save face. How could they not be happy?
Zhu Jiabao urged him to leave: "You still need to take a nap. Now that you've finished talking, hurry up and go! You're getting on in years, so take good care of your health."
Xie Minglei knew Zhu Jiabao's temper; even if he spoke harshly, he didn't mind and leisurely went to take a nap.
Zhu Jiabao said, "Go back and get ready. Xi Yan will pick you up tonight. Take good care of yourself."
Zhu Fanfan nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment. She had been sent away by her grandfather. The army base was very close to home, and she could run back by herself. Her mission had been approved, and she could go home to prepare her things.
Zhu Fanfan rested well at home for an afternoon. Before evening, Xi Yan came to pick her up. Seeing that her grandfather hadn't returned, Zhu Fanfan felt a little disappointed, but still went with Xi Yan.
Upon arriving at the Dragon Group, Zhuge Qianxing personally led the team, accompanied by Elder Wu and Elder Zhen. Xi Yan and Hai Bu, the two main generals, were also present, along with eight unfamiliar superhumans. Zhu Fanfan glanced at them and realized they were among the more powerful superhumans, demonstrating just how dangerous this mission was.
Zhuge Qianxing asked again, "Fanfan, your grandfather told you about the dangers of Geli Snow Mountain, right? You can regret it now, but once you set off, you won't have another chance."
Zhu Fanfan assured, "I know the dangers of the mission, and I am doing this voluntarily."
