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

Chapter 441, Episode 0485: Important Figures
The sixth floor of a military general hospital in Beijing.

Fu Zhiyi held a tablet and operated it nimbly with his fingers. "Boss, this time it was really embarrassing. We've never fought such a rich battle before, and we still have so many people injured."

They never had such high-tech assistance before. Although they couldn't have satellite help like M, they weren't just relying on experience to get by anymore.

Thinking of satellites, Fu Zhiyi leaned closer to Huo Han and whispered, "Boss (pointing to the sky), is your wife working on that now? Will we be able to point and shoot whatever we want on our own soon?"

Huo Han glared at him warningly, but did not answer.

However, his lack of a reply was tantamount to an answer for Fu Zhiyi, who grinned broadly.

"You have no idea how envious I was of those people when I was in M. They could find us no matter where we were and chase us like we were being chased by a pack of mad dogs. I didn't even dare to close both eyes at the same time when I slept."

This is where the technological gap puts us at a disadvantage. They have satellite monitoring capabilities, and they can pinpoint our location without us even knowing when. They're playing their cards openly, while we're blindly fleeing.

Fu Zhiyi recently led a team to pick up a scientist who was trapped in M.

The scientist surnamed Wen was very patriotic and wanted to bring his research results back to China, but M also wanted his results, so naturally they were unwilling.

First they tried to bribe him, and when that failed, they resorted to threats. Professor Wen knew he couldn't go back on his own, so he had a trusted student send a letter to the embassy asking for help. By then, he was under constant surveillance.

After we found out, we assigned the task to the National Security Bureau, and Fu Zhiyi, who had gone to the National Security Bureau with Huo Han, led a team to rescue him.

Fu Zhiyi had never participated in international rescue missions before. He knew that many countries were more technologically advanced than China, but he didn't have a clear understanding of it. This trip to M taught him a lesson.

They lacked experience and failed to discover that a locator had been implanted in one of Professor Wen's clothing buttons. As a result, they were pursued wherever they went. Even when they hid in the mountains where there was no signal and the locator was no longer working, people still managed to find them using satellites.

Fu Zhiyi was both angry and envious. If only we had that kind of technology, then so many people wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves.

Of course, he didn't think that the satellite project would succeed quickly just because Lin Yuexi was involved. If he thought that way, how could he face the researchers who had been working on the project for so long!

Even if he didn't understand, he knew that satellite projects were not easy. Putting aside everything else, sending a satellite into space still required a rocket. He couldn't understand how such a huge lump of iron could fly into space.
It was his sister-in-law's outstanding achievements that gave him a glimmer of hope that with her involvement, the research could progress faster, even if only by a little bit.

"By the way, boss, I feel something's off about this whole thing. Someone's definitely trying to stop us, but the higher-ups are watching too, so they haven't made it too obvious."

As she spoke, Fu Zhiyi handed the tablet to Huo Han: "Boss, look at the suspicious places I marked. The timing is all wrong. We didn't notice anything obvious when we were chasing them, but after I put them together, I found that in these places, those people would suddenly leave two to three minutes before we arrived."

"I suspect that either the information reported was inaccurate, or someone notified those people in advance."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Fu Zhiyi immediately stopped talking, exchanged a glance with Huo Han, and went to open the door on high alert.

Upon opening the door to see who it was, Fu Zhiyi immediately gasped.

"What brings you here, old commander?"

The old man snorted unhappily and strode in with an air of indifference.

"I've come to see if my new grandson-in-law has kicked the bucket yet, so I can make preparations in advance."

Huo Han: "..."

Fu Zhiyi: "..." Prepare in advance?
What preparations?
Could it be that they're preparing to find a different son-in-law for their granddaughter?
Huo Han was so frightened that he felt his injured leg hurt again. Fu Zhiyi gave him a sympathetic look. Boss, good luck to you.

"grandfather."

The old man ignored him and tapped his leg, which was dangling in mid-air with a plaster cast, with his finger.

The 'dong dong dong' sound was like the tolling of a bell before an execution, which frightened Fu Zhiyi so much that he retreated to the door, opened it, and scurried out.

Huo Han, who watched the whole thing: "..."

The old man pulled up a chair and sat down: "Weren't you going to Haishi? How did you end up in the Northwest and get injured?"

There was nothing he couldn't say to the old man who was already involved, and with guards outside the door, it was safe. Huo Han didn't hide anything and quietly told him the whole story.

—The Cui family's network didn't just pull out a few dozen people, but a whole bunch, an earthquake-level event.

Such a momentous matter as eliminating traitors, which could shake the very foundation of the nation if not handled carefully, could not be a trivial matter of arresting one after another. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to tolerate the Cui family until now.

Instead, they had already thoroughly investigated every point and line on the internet, made preparations in all aspects, and acted simultaneously to ensure that no one was missed.

No matter how perfect the plan is, it cannot guarantee that the operation will be perfect, especially for an operation with a large number of participants. Not only are people's hearts unpredictable, but there will also be differences in coordination.

Sure enough, problems arose in Hai City. The former deputy director of Hai City received advance notice and fled, taking with him an important figure—Cui Jianhong.

According to Cui Hongyin's confession, Cui Jianhong is Cui Hongyin's twin brother. The two are identical twins and look exactly alike.

Most importantly, the true heir of the Cui family is not Cui Hongyin, but this Cui Jianhong. Cui Hongyin is just a shield that the Cui family uses in public to protect Cui Jianhong.

Cui Hongyin knew a lot of things, but he was unaware of the truly core aspects.

He knew the Cui family had a laboratory, but he didn't know where it was or what they researched; he knew the Cui family had collaborations with foreign countries, but he only knew the basics about which countries they collaborated with and what those collaborations covered.

Cui Jianhong was in charge of the core management.

Cui Jianhong never appears in public under his real name, but only as Fifth Master.

Cui Jianhong's existence remained undiscovered, and he wasn't even listed on the Cui family's household register. However, Fifth Master was a well-known figure within the system, and every department wanted to arrest him. He was a figure that any police officer who caught him could immediately be promoted to bureau chief.

Fifth Master is a very secretive person. All departments know of his existence, but they don't know where he is, or even whether he is male or female, or which country he is from.

No one connected Fifth Master with the Cui family, and no one expected that the person truly in charge of the Cui family now was actually this Fifth Master.

Before Cui Hongyin revealed Cui Jianhong's existence, no one knew that such a person as Cui Jianhong existed, and he was not part of the plan.

When Cui Hongyin revealed Cui Jianhong's location in Haishi, and pointed out that Cui Jianhong was seriously injured and unable to move, the plan in Haishi had already begun. Therefore, Huo Han urgently led his men to Haishi.

The fact that Cui Jianhong chose to recuperate in Haishi despite his serious injuries only indicates that Haishi is a relatively safe place for him. Therefore, the original plan targeting Haishi not only did more harm than good, but also likely caused unnecessary casualties.
