Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Xu Manman was taken aback, clearly not expecting Gu Xingbang to suddenly bring up the story of the illiterate man.

She looked at Fei Huainan.

Gu Xingbang also stared intently at Fei Huainan, signaling him to speak quickly.

Yang Ping is a persistent fellow. Once you know who the illiterate man is, quickly make him take the man away.

Yang Ping couldn't sit still any longer, and he looked anxiously at Fei Huainan.

Fei Huainan remained silent for two seconds before speaking: "I know."

call.

Gu Xingbang breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he no longer had to put up with that troublesome guy.

Yang Ping even jumped up from the sofa and came to Fei Huainan, showing his most amiable attitude.

"Captain Fei, my apologies. You weren't here when I visited the Flying Eagles team last time."

"Captain Fei is truly a promising young man. With a general like you, how can our nation not prosper? I..."

Yang Ping felt that if he wanted to ask Captain Fei for the person, he should at least say a few nice things first.

Gu Xingbang couldn't listen anymore and shouted for it to stop.

"Alright, alright, just shut up!"

"Who is Mr. Bai Zi in Huainan? Send him here now, that's an order."

Yang Ping was unusually silent; normally, if Gu Xingbang disliked him, he would definitely have said something back.

This time, I'll let it go for the sake of Mr. Baizi.

Fei Huainan glanced at his wife and finally said, "My wife is a terrible writer."

Actually, there's nothing to hide about this. Xu Manman has always just disliked trouble.

However, since the leaders have started investigating the matter, it can no longer be kept secret.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingbang was delighted: "So it's your wife. Okay, Yang Ping, you take her..."

He realized something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.

Before Yang Ping could even speak, he had already reached Xu Manman and was smiling as he spoke.

"So you're Mr. Illiterate. You're so young! I'm one of your readers. 'The Bloodstained River' is really well written."

"I just don't know how those sets of data in the book were obtained."

"Why don't we go to the research institute together to discuss it? I promise..."

Just as he was about to coax the person back, Gu Xingbang rushed over.

He grabbed Dean Yang Ping by the collar and pulled him aside, then stood protectively in front of Xu Manman like a chick.

"No, you can't take them away."

He finally realized what was wrong: the illiterate man was Xu Manman, and Yang Ping wanted to transfer her to work at the research institute.

Originally, as soldiers of the nation, we are like bricks, ready to be moved wherever needed.

Moving to someone else's place is fine, but not Xu Manman's.

Xu Manman is a highly motivated and capable person under his command, and is a very rare talent.

The foundation is waiting for her to handle things, the factory needs her to make connections, and even the shipyard project that is about to be implemented needs Xu Manman.

These were all his responsibilities; he had already arranged all of Xu Manman's work.

If Yang Ping takes Xu Manman away, won't he be blind?

Therefore, he firmly disagreed with Yang Ping taking the person away.

Yang Ping was inexplicably grabbed by the collar and embarrassed in front of the two younger men.

Normally it would be one thing, but now that he's trying to poach Xu Manman, his image has been completely ruined by Gu Xingbang.

He couldn't help but speak directly.

"Are you sick in the head? Are you sick in the head?"

"Didn't you just say that once we find Mr. Baizi, we should just have him take the person away?"

Is it this bastard who said it? Just say it is!

Gu Xingbang stiffened his neck and said, "No."

Yang Ping's eyes widened immediately. What? What did he say? No?

Was his confident promise to him that he would take the person away just barking like a dog?

He pointed at Gu Xingbang in anger, his fingers trembling.

"Have you no shame? Have you no sense of propriety?"

Gu Xingbang was careless. If he had known earlier that the illiterate man was Xu Manman, he would never have made such a promise.

But now, things have come to this point.

Even if he contradicts himself, he can't admit it.

"I didn't say it."

Yang Ping couldn't hold back any longer and stretched out his hand: "I'll fight you to the death."

The two of them, whose combined age is over a hundred, are still here fighting like children.

Fei Huainan and Xu Manman looked helpless. She tugged at her husband's sleeve: "Stop it!"

Otherwise, who knows what kind of rumors will spread outside.

Fei Huainan stepped forward and separated the two people.

Yang Ping was displeased: "Get up, I'm going to fight this bastard to the death today."

Gu Xingbang retorted, "You're as weak as a chick, thinking I'm afraid of you."

"You were no match for me back then, but beating you now would be a piece of cake."

Fei Huainan glanced at Dean Yang's almost bald head, then at Gu Xingbang's leg, which was hit by shrapnel.

He recalled that there were still two pieces of metal stuck in his leader's leg.

Are those two going to fight?

"Alright, you guys go ahead and fight!"

After saying that, he stepped forward, opened the door, and the guard immediately looked over.

Fei Huainan didn't say a word and stood calmly to the side.

Yang Ping and Gu Xingbang, almost instantly, reverted to their aloof and reserved demeanor.

Xu Manman clicked her tongue in amazement; this speed was even faster than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

Gu Xingbang glared at Fei Huainan. This brat was simply outrageous.

Can he fight with someone in front of his subordinates?

Yang Ping snorted coldly. He was a cultured, knowledgeable, and refined man. How could he be like such a roughneck?

Fei Huainan raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them.

"Still fighting?"

Gu Xingbang turned his head away: "I'm not fighting anymore."

Yang Ping snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Xu Manman lowered her head, trying not to laugh.

Only after the two of them calmed down did Fei Huainan ask what had happened!

Yang Ping recounted the whole story, emphasizing Gu Xingbang's untrustworthiness, despicable behavior, and shamelessness.

Gu Xingbang was immediately displeased. He had agreed to those conditions because he was unaware of them, but now that he knew, they were unreasonable demands that he had refused under reasonable circumstances.

He's not wrong.

Fei Huainan knew that when the novel version of "Bloody River" was published, Xu Manman did a lot of research to ensure the authenticity of the content.

She just didn't expect that the information Xu Manman had looked up would have such a significant overlap with the future.

This led to significant progress in the previously stalled research and development process, thanks to Xu Manman's data alerts.

However, we are now facing new problems that need to be solved.

Since Xu Manman was able to write out those sets of data, she might be a scientific research genius, so Yang Ping tried to find her.

Now that they've found the person, they're even more eager to bring them back to the research institute.

As for his claim of giving him special attention, that's probably true.

Xu Manman hadn't expected this, and was now feeling a bit of a headache.

First, she wrote the novel and the data, but the source of the data cannot be explained.

In addition, she has no talent for scientific research and no interest in it.

She never expected that writing a novel would cause such a stir.

Xu Manman turned her gaze to Fei Huainan, her eyes seeming to speak volumes.

Fei Huainan stared at his wife for two seconds, then decisively turned his head away.

"In this matter, we should listen to the opinions of those involved."

Xu Manman: ……
