Tang Fu and the twins visited Grandma Liu and others before heading to meet Tongtong and Jiang Ning. They arrived at the river dam to find Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong planning a new venture: cleaning up trash left by tourists. As Tang Fu took a drink of cola, Jiang Ning swiftly intervened, pulling a sharp glass shard from her mouth. This discovery raised suspicions about the cola bottle and the beer bottle Chen Siyu had seen earlier.

River Dam Bungalow.

The perceptive Chen Siyu saw through the conspiracy's truth, yet she didn't make it known.

Even if she were to accuse the damned old lady now, it wouldn't help; she's over seventy and has resistance!

Chen Siyu walked up to Tang Fu, examining her mouth: "Fufu, Jiang Ning didn't hurt you, did he?"

Tang Fu's voice was soft: "I'm an athlete, why would there be a problem?"

Beside them, Xue Yuantong crossed her arms, thinking sarcastically: 'Keep pretending. If it weren't for my servant's intervention, you'd be done for.'

'A mere Tang Fu, just a child.'

Chen Siyu praised, "Can athletes also master ventriloquism?"

Tang Fu: "There's nothing I can't do."

She seemed to cast aside matters of life and death, carefree beyond measure.

Xue Yuantong, understandingly, didn't bring it up either. She coughed twice, saying, "Since things have come to this, let's prioritize environmental protection."

Then she began discussing details with a few people.

Xue Chuchu witnessed it all firsthand; she knew clearly how dangerous it was just now. Shouldn't Tang Fu be angry or terrified?

Why isn't there any reaction? Including the twins and Tongtong.

And Jiang Ning, who hasn't spoken a word.

Xue Chuchu puzzled: 'Is it my problem?'

Soon, after agreeing on matters, under the leadership of Grand Commander Xue Yuantong, tax officer Chen Siyu and others marched confidently towards the river dam.

Jiang Ning brought along his major general, Xiao Ben.

Xiao Ben had grown a bit lately, estimated to be over one hundred pounds, huge in size, mighty beyond compare.

Butcher Zhang was very fond of it.

If Xiao Ben weren't so charming, Butcher Zhang, who had been humiliated repeatedly, might really sell it.

You could say, men are exceptionally tolerant towards things they like.

In the morning, Butcher Zhang wasn't around, and Jiang Ning openly called Xiao Ben away. Of course, even if Butcher Zhang were there, it wouldn't matter; he's not important.

On the dam, two business vehicles with Evergreen Liquid logos were parked.

A lean man, around thirty years old, stood by the car, grinning broadly as he greeted, "Jiang Ning, you're here!"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Uncle Xiao Gui."

In his youth, Jiang Ning lived alone in the village; Uncle Xiao Gui's family took great care of him. So, when Evergreen Liquid took off, he arranged for Uncle Xiao Gui to work there.

Uncle Xiao Gui handed the Evergreen Liquid documents to Jiang Ning, then looked at his tax team, hesitating for a moment, he asked, "You really don't need us to lend a hand?"

Although Uncle Xiao Gui is a rural man, he's not foolish; he knows how troublesome those reckless campers can be.

Jiang Ning patted Xiao Ben's head: "No worries, just park the car on the dam and take a break."

Uncle Xiao Gui nodded: "Alright."

He and two colleagues drove forward along with Jiang Ning and the others for a while.

After getting out, Jiang Ning stood on the dam, looking down, surrounded by lush trees. In the middle was a vast, spacious lawn, with a small creek flowing down from the southern fields.

The scenery ought to be stunning, but, alas, the lawn was cluttered with dozens of cars — SUVs, off-road cars, RVs — all crushing the grass into a mess.

Worse, the lawn was littered with various discarded trash; some people, after finishing their drinks, casually tossed them into the creek, laughing and joking, enjoying the spring scenery with friends.

Chen Siyu angrily addressed the uncultured tourists: "Fists, fists up!"

Tang Fu: "What fists?"

"Fists, don't yours clench?"

Sister Chen Siqing wondered: "Why does this lawn not belong to me, but witnessing such scenes still makes me unhappy?"

As a rural woman, Xue Yuantong scoffed: "It's the gene engraved in us Chinese children!"

Chen Siqing suddenly understood: "Is it a deep love for this land?"

Chen Siyu: "Then why don't they love it?"

Xue Yuantong said matter-of-factly: "Because they aren't considered people!"

Tax officer Chen Siyu vowed: "Today, I'm definitely going to find out the taxes hard!"

The tax squad marched decisively toward the vast lawn.

On the dam, the doors of the Evergreen Liquid business vehicle opened, and three people stepped out for some air.

A young man with long hair, possessing a few nonchalant airs but quite handsome, suddenly asked, "Brother Gui, you really let him go, can he handle it?"

A serious man beside him said, "Chenxi, just do what you're told."

Chenxi chuckled awkwardly: "Group leader, I'm just concerned, you know? This job seems simple, but it's not easy at all!"

Bringing a few girls to persuade people to protect the environment, those who are cultured are okay, but what about those who aren't? Wouldn't they curse you?

Uncle Xiao Gui, having been trained, knew what to say; he responded: "Don't underestimate Jiang Ning's build; he's good at fighting, at least I can't beat him."

Chenxi glanced at Uncle Xiao Gui, not taking his abilities very seriously.

Uncle Xiao Gui got in through connections. Though he's been doing hard labor for years and is strong, he's only gone through a few months of combat training.

Meanwhile, Chenxi, who became part of Evergreen Liquid's security after retiring from the military, had an eye for real skills. One look, and he knew if someone could cut it.

His group leader was even more remarkable, having served in special forces and later in a professional security company.

The group leader didn't join the chatter, merely watching the lawn quietly, ready to act at any moment.

Chenxi teased: "Didn't see the fighting skills, but he's sure good at wooing the ladies, twins, and there's a girl taller than me too!"

The group leader shot him a look, full of warning.

Seeing this, Chenxi quickly reached into the car to grab a bag, distributing its contents to the two.

The group leader, holding a small dog biscuit, suddenly asked, "A suitor for your sister gave it to her?"
