This look shocked Lin Ruyu.

Could emotions be the best remedy in the world? They can even make someone with an aged mindset feel young again, reliving the purity, dreams, and curiosity from years ago.

Miao Su saw Lin Ruyu's exaggerated expression and blushed, scolding her, "You silly girl, do you think grandma is too bad, thinking about romance at my age."

"No, no, that's impossible! You're old in age, not in heart! Your granddaughter supports you wholeheartedly," Lin Ruyu supported Miao Su.

Miao Su blushed slightly...

Meanwhile, in the hall, Ye Hao glanced at Su Chenhong. Seeing Ye Hao's expression, Su Chenhong awkwardly reddened.

Ye Hao didn't say anything, as Su Chenhong had his own thoughts. The understanding between men is often straightforward, and everyone's thoughts are pretty much on the same page.

Time quickly passed, and Lv Dong called Ye Hao again.

"How's the investigation going?" Ye Hao asked as soon as the call was connected.

"Boss, the investigation is almost done. These people are conducting surveys under the pretense of wanting to mine. However, based on the information President Qin gave me, these registered mining companies only have a name and actually zero assets."

"So they're shell companies, and the intention to mine is fake, with some other agenda involved?" Ye Hao asked, frowning.

"Probably, based on my investigation, there have recently been two groups patrolling the mountains. Ostensibly, they are just ordinary people, but no ordinary people would have so many first-stage, second-stage National Martial Arts practitioners. I suspect there is a hidden hand controlling them."

"It's the Gao Family." Ye Hao immediately concluded upon hearing Lv Dong's explanation that it was the Gao Family.

Although it might not be Gao Family members patrolling, Ye Hao was sure there were traces of the Gao Family because only they and Zheng Guang from the Zheng Family know that Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb from the Great Ming Dynasty is here.

"Boss…"

"Don't do anything yet, continue monitoring. I'll soon lead people over, but be mindful if it really is the Gao Family; it won't be simple." Ye Hao frowned thoughtfully.

He thought about Gao Lun; if Gao Lun didn't enter some independent Space Barrier, then there's a chance he was rescued.

And whoever rescued Gao Lun must be extremely powerful, otherwise he couldn't have silently managed to get Gao Lun away from Zheng Guang's pursuit.

Lately, the brotherhood has scoured all of Peng City but found no trace of Gao Lun's grandson, Gao Zhong. From this, Ye Hao deduced that if someone had rescued Gao Lun, Gao Lun would think to relocate his grandson to safety.

"Understood, I'll be cautious," Lv Dong promised on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Hao pondered briefly, then dialed Li Yi's number.

When the call connected, Ye Hao directly instructed, "Li Yi, have Ran Tai pick up the phone."

Soon, Ran Tai answered, asking, "Boss, what's up?"

"Ran Tai, later take your subordinates and Wu Gang, totaling thirty people, immediately to Karachi. Don't bring weapons; I'll have someone send them. Your first task is to find out how many old-school warlord generals there are in Pakistan, their strengths, equipment, and details about Karachi—how many are natives, how many tourists, etc." Ye Hao directed.

"Boss, are you saying you want us to go to Pakistan?" Ran Tai asked excitedly.

He had long wanted to go, but Ye Hao always said the time wasn't ripe, so he couldn't go over.

Now Ye Hao asking him to gather information—does this mean the brotherhood plans to advance into Pakistan?

"Yes! The time is right. I'll lead Gambling Life there later to clear other forces in Karachi for you. Just occupy Karachi for a year and a half; I believe Pakistan's government will come to you. Although they favor our Huaxia, they're also an independent-minded country, naturally wanting stable development without relying on others. Otherwise, India is always eyeing them. They definitely don't want this scenario, so they won't miss any chance to boost their combat strength; here's our opportunity." Ye Hao explained.

"Yes, boss, your analysis makes sense. With Pakistan's locals and government favoring our Huaxia, as long as our people don't harm ordinary citizens, mutual friendly relations can quickly be established." Ran Tai, having deliberated, added his insights.

"As long as you know what to do—ask President Qin to exchange for ten billion Pakistani Rupees for you, use it for a while, then ponder how much to sell the next batch of H-4." Ye Hao never cuts corners or saves here and there for the brotherhood's development, knowing that without money, they truly can't take a step.

"Ten billion Rupees? About sixty million RMB, boss, isn't it a bit too much?" Ran Tai worried about messing up or encountering unexpected issues upon arriving in Pakistan, resulting in a waste of those sixty million.

"Haha, development requires money. Do you think you'll be treated as VIPs upon arriving in Pakistan? Impossible. You have to contribute something first for Pakistan to trust you." Ye Hao advised Ran Tai not to limit his view to spending solely on building influence and instead give back to local residents.

"Understood, your teachings are correct, boss; I'll be mindful," Ran Tai agreed.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, first take your people to gather information. Stay as investors or tourists who adore the locale enough to invest there; think it through. But don't cause wrathful deeds against Pakistan's people," Ye Hao warned.

Ye Hao also liked Pakistan quite a bit; back when Huaxia sent arms to aid Afghanistan, many countries banded together intending to sanction Huaxia, yet Pakistan stood up first to oppose them.

Over the years, Pakistan and Huaxia have formed an alliance of friendly, strong nations.

Pakistan's friendliness outpaces all Southeast Asian countries, yet it's also due to their political figures knowing current affairs and understanding the situation.

The United States once abandoned them for India, but Huaxia later gifted many J-6 and J-7, allowing them breathing space and even defeating India's air force repeatedly.

They understand not losing any support, especially from Huaxia, this mighty backup.

"Boss, I have a rough plan in mind already; rest assured, I won't disappoint you," Ran Tai promised.

Ye Hao nodded and next intended to let Li Yi take the call… (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
