After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 427, Episode 0465: The Killing Order

When Old Man Ning heard that Lin Yuexi was going to open a large agritainment business, and that she would give preferential treatment to veterans and disabled veterans, he was overjoyed.

Hearing that Lin Yuexi's manor was still just a piece of wasteland, Old Man Ning quickly offered to take over the construction of the manor as well, saying he would also take over this part.

"So fast?" It's only been less than a year.

The old man's brow twitched: "Old Ning has a lot of people under his command and a wide network of connections. He even knows many foreign conglomerates and corporations. That's already quite fast. You told him you wanted to recruit veterans, right?"

Lin Yuexi: "Yes, I asked Elder Ning to turn that place into a farmhouse inn. All the land was used for farming, the mountains were fenced off to grow fruit trees, and chickens and ducks could be raised. All of these require people, but not all of them are too strenuous jobs. Many of the positions can be filled by people with disabilities."

She picked up the bowl, took a sip of porridge, and continued to express her thoughts: "I only need to make the initial investment. After the grain and fruit trees yield a harvest, and the chickens and ducks can be sold, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain self-sufficiency there."

The old man was pleased and proud when he heard her plan; his precious granddaughter was truly exceptional.

How many people are you planning to invite?

Lin Yuexi gave him a bewildered look: "How would I know?"

She only does what she can because she has many capable people around her, and she does whatever ideas she has, without ever considering how to do it or what the implementation process should be.

This is the biggest advantage of having the country as your backer.

The old man was bewildered by her self-righteousness and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he scoffed disdainfully, "You really know how to shrug it off cleanly. I wasted all my time teaching you. Are you just lazy or what?"

Xu Shan and Aunt Yang almost burst out laughing.

The old man was right. Apart from being very dedicated to his professional field, the leader is lazy about everything else. It's not that he doesn't understand, but that he simply doesn't have the will.

Even her usual clothes and appearance are not important to her. You can tell from her black cotton Tai Chi uniform and her hair that is just tied up casually and is a bit messy that she prioritizes comfort and doesn't care about her image at all.

Before Lin Yuexi could give any feedback, the old man had already turned off the TV and gotten up to leave.

Lin Yuexi: "Grandpa?"

The old man didn't even turn his head: "Go wipe your butt."

Lin Yuexi: "..."

Xu Shan and the others couldn't hold back any longer and their shoulders twitched as they tried to suppress their laughter.

When Huo Han woke up, it was already midnight. Looking at the empty hall, he was a little surprised that the old man wasn't watching the news at this time.

Xiao Hei passed by carrying a plate of grapes. "The commander went to visit Comrade Leng Xingmao with Ms. Zhang. He'll stay there for lunch. The old commander is in his office. He wants you to go find him when you wake up."

Huo Han nodded and reached out to take the grapes from his hand. "I'll take them in."

Huo Han was trustworthy, and Xiao Hei handed him the grapes without objection before jogging to the door to continue his guard duty.

Upon hearing the door open, the old man, who was on the phone, turned around and, seeing that it was Huo Han, pointed to the chair next to him without changing his expression.

Huo Han first placed the grapes on the table in front of the old man, and then sat down to wait as instructed. About five minutes later, the old man finished his call, skillfully hung up, and carefully stuffed his phone back into his pocket—it was a gift from his beloved grandson.

"Has the Cui family pulled some strings?"

Huo Han: "Yes, Cui Hongyin, the head of the Cui family, is getting married next month. His fiancée is ostensibly an inspirational girl from a poor rural family who got into Peking University through her own efforts, but her true identity is Yamamoto Haruko, the direct descendant of the Yamamoto family in Japan."

The Yamamoto family in Japan places great emphasis on the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Legitimate children have the right to inherit everything, while illegitimate children can only serve the legitimate children.

The Yamamoto family is one of the three major families in Japan. Their eldest daughter came to our family under an assumed name and became the person the Cui family head wanted to marry. No one would believe there wasn't a big conspiracy involved.

The old man's pupils contracted.

Huo Han: "The mastermind behind the poisoning incident targeting Xi Xi last time was Yamamoto Haruko."

Haruko Yamamoto is the head of the Yamamoto family's spy team planted in our family. However, this team is very cautious. The higher up they are, the more they communicate with each other through a single line. The higher up they are, the more they conceal their identities. The higher up they are, the less they know who their superiors are.

The leader, Yamamoto Haruko, was born with a baby girl named Wang Chunni. As Wang Chunni, she grew up in a family that favored sons over daughters, just like other girls in such families. She suffered unfair treatment from a young age, and the only person who knew her true identity was a mute hunter who was also lurking in her village.

Even the most meticulous plans can have oversights. Through the efforts of countless people in the National Security Bureau, the poisoning incident was traced back to the "mute," which led to suspicions about "Wang Chunni," whom the "mute" had previously taken special care of.

When they learned that Cui Hongyin was getting married, they had already investigated his marriage partner, but the information they found at the time showed that the person was not problematic.

Once the 'mute' was exposed, things became easier.

No matter how stubborn you are, it's impossible for you to not reveal anything useful once you're in Guoan.

The old man's eyebrows twitched several times: "Do they have another plan targeting Guai Bao?"

Huo Han did not answer directly, but said, "According to 'Dumb,' the last mission Yamamoto Haruko received was that the Yamamoto family ordered her to eliminate Xi Xi at all costs."

The Yamamoto family had people lurking in the place where Xixi used to go to the countryside. Originally, those people were looking for Old Chen and Old Zheng, but they accidentally discovered that the military was looking for Xixi, so they began to pay attention to her. Later, Xixi went to Jiuquan, where the Yamamoto family also had people lurking.

Therefore, the Yamamoto family had long known of Xi Xi's extraordinary abilities, especially in the field of technology. They had considered recruiting Xi Xi, but Captain Xu's defenses were very tight, and they never had the opportunity.

After H's mother came out, the 'mute' received the orders from the Yamamoto family on behalf of Yamamoto Haruko.

Our informants within the Yamamoto family also reported that the head of the Yamamoto family had secretly met with M's Steve two weeks before 'Dumb' received that order.

We have reason to suspect that the real mastermind behind issuing the order to kill Xixi was actually on M's side.

Upon hearing that someone had given Lin Yuexi a kill order, the old man remained calm... my foot!

With a loud bang, a hand slammed onto the table, making the solid wood table shake.

"Damn it, do they really think we're all hopeless? They even have a last-ditch effort? I'll give them a damn."

Huo Han was also angry, but he had known about it for several days and had gradually regained his composure.

Worried that the old man might suffer a stroke from anger, she quickly got up and went over to soothe him.

"Grandpa, don't worry. We already know their plan in advance and will not leave them any chance of success."
