The Limin Group is not a secret military base, but the protection it receives from the Taiwan Military far exceeds that of a secret military facility. This is evident from the no-entry markers and high walls surrounding it, patrolled by armed soldiers just a few hundred meters away. Of course, Xin Yi would not dare to intrude into this restricted area; he could confidently believe that if anyone entered the forbidden zone, the soldiers on patrol would not hesitate to shoot them dead. In Taiwan, where the military is in power, it is completely normal for the army to kill individual civilians.
The Limin Group occupies a vast area, and Xin Yi spent an entire day circling its perimeter. However, he did gain some insights. The defenses of the Limin Group are impeccable; not only does it have towering walls like a city fortification with patrolling soldiers on top, but there are also frequently soldiers patrolling nearby outside the walls. According to information provided by Garon, the 114th Division, which is primarily responsible for defending the Limin Group, is stationed about five kilometers north at Compass Mountain. Once an alarm is raised at the Limin Group, the 114th Division can assemble and rush to provide support within twenty minutes. The division is equipped with the most advanced weapons and transportation and communication tools in Taiwan Kingdom, and aside from protecting the Limin Group, they hardly undertake any other military missions. This clearly shows how much importance the Taiwan Military places on the Limin Group.
Attempting to take action against such a place is nearly impossible unless one resorts to air drops; otherwise, entering the Limin Group's interior is unrealistic. Despite the large number of workers coming and going daily, all of them must undergo full-body scans and fingerprint verification before entering. Thus, it has become impossible to sneak through this process. So why does Xin Yi feel that he has gained something? This relates to the nature of production at the Limin Group. The Limin Group mainly engages in processing and refining poppy fruits, and like all chemical plants, a significant amount of industrial wastewater is generated during production and refining processes. The discharge of this wastewater represents a major oversight.
At the source of a small river flowing with dark and foul-smelling industrial wastewater, Xin Yi found the discharge pipes of the Limin Group. Like all unscrupulous companies, it was clear that the industrial wastewater from the Limin Group had not undergone any effective purification treatment; it was directly discharged into this small river in a thick black liquid that emitted a terrible odor. Xin Yi noticed six large discharge pipes lined up here, each with a diameter of about one meter. Four of these pipes were gushing black liquid to full capacity while only about one-third of wastewater flowed from the remaining two pipes. The outlet of these discharge pipes was located over a thousand meters away from the walls of the Limin Group. If one wanted to secretly infiltrate the interior of the Limin Group, these discharge pipes could be a potential passageway worth trying. Although he was unsure what awaited him at the end of the pipes, it was certainly safer than trying to enter through the walls.
Returning to Garon's provided location, just as Xin Yi was about to take out his key to open the door, it swung open by itself. A fragrant breeze wafted into his nostrils as Roxy gently took his bag from his hands and said, "You're back."
"Yeah, wow! It smells so good! What delicious food did you make?" As soon as Xin Yi stepped inside, he was greeted by an enticing aroma of food mingling with Roxy's scent, making him swallow hard in anticipation. He couldn't tell which fragrance was stirring his appetite more. Roxy took off his shoes for him from the shoe rack and excitedly replied with her rosy cheeks glowing, "I learned how to make some Heavenly Delicacies online today; you should try them and see if they're good!"
"Oh?" Xin Yi felt warmth in his heart. This girl seemed indifferent on the surface but had secretly learned how to make Heavenly Delicacies after he mentioned last night that he wasn't used to eating steak and fried chicken legs. He sincerely said, "Roxy..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Roxy interrupted him: "Hurry up and wash your hands and sit down; I'm almost done!" As she spoke, she placed Xin Yi's bag on a table and dashed into the kitchen like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Xin Yi watched her graceful figure with a bit of distraction—not only because she was beautiful but also due to that warmth in his heart. However, more questions arose: she had opened the door as soon as he arrived; clearly she had been waiting behind it for him to return—was she really cooking something in there? Could someone so distracted manage to cook well?
Nevertheless, despite his doubts, when Xin Yi sat down at the table he was slightly surprised to see four dishes laid out before him. Although they were extremely simple dishes, for Roxy who was making Heavenly Delicacies for the first time… well, it's hard to say how they turned out but at least they were cooked properly! There was a plate of stir-fried greens—though perhaps it should be called stewed greens—a plate of spicy-sour shredded potatoes—though calling it potato mash might be more appropriate—a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes—though perhaps it had too much water and could be called tomato egg soup—and finally a plate featuring wood ear mushrooms with sliced meat that seemed like a fusion dish. The slices of meat lay flat with distinct frying marks on them; if he guessed correctly, Roxy must have first cooked them like steak or teppanyaki before stir-frying them with wood ear mushrooms. Indeed, it was quite an interesting spread!
At that moment Roxy came out carefully carrying a soup pot from the kitchen while wearing gloves; placing it on the table revealed that it was Tea Tree Mushroom Duck Soup—the star dish for tonight! The aroma he had smelled upon entering must have come from this soup.
Although it might not look perfect or taste exquisite, this was still her heartfelt effort! So Xin Yi quickly devoured all four dishes along with two bowls of rice and two bowls of soup without hesitation. Roxy modestly refrained from competing for food with him; instead she watched him eat voraciously with satisfaction. In the end, Roxy only had some rice soaked in Tea Tree Mushroom Duck Soup but despite hardly eating anything herself her mood remained excellent. Finally feeling slightly shy she said: "This soup seems a bit salty; how about the other dishes?"
"Um... they're fine—no, they're great." While gulping down water Xin Yi replied somewhat insincerely; after all if you could make such a large pot of soup taste as salty as brined duck eggs then surely you wouldn't skimp on salt for such small portions! Taiwan's salt must also be imported; who knows if this counts as stimulating domestic demand?
"Mm," Roxy blushed happily and quietly said: "Since it's good I'll make it for you every day from now on."
"Cough cough..." Just as Xin Yi swallowed some water, he choked a bit. No way! Eating like this every day would lead to kidney failure sooner or later. However, he couldn't discourage Roxy's enthusiasm for cooking; after all, she was doing it for him. So, Xin Yi replied, "Great! I will have good food in the future."
After dinner, Roxy asked Xin Yi about his gains from the day. From Xin Yi's description, Roxy also believed that the sewage pipeline might be the best way to sneak into Limin Group. However, Roxy couldn't understand what Xin Yi intended to do there. Was it just to gather information? That seemed a bit too risky. But if they were planning sabotage, the two of them alone wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble and could easily alert the enemy. Nevertheless, Xin Yi had his own plans. Now was certainly not the best time to act against Limin Group; if they were to strike, it had to be a decisive blow that would completely destroy it. For now, they were just doing some preliminary preparations.
Xin Yi contacted Garon again, asking him to prepare some necessary supplies. Garon was not only the director of the Taiwan Military Administration Council but also an undercover agent sent by Guokan to Abayir. Although the supplies Xin Yi requested were hard to obtain, Garon readily agreed to help him. After all, Xin Yi was someone directly assigned by Yang Wencai to cooperate with him. Even if obtaining these supplies in Abayir was challenging, Garon could ask Yang Wencai to send someone from Guokan to deliver them. As long as he used his position to ensure the items could be smoothly brought in, it would be fine. Next, they just had to wait for Garon to gather the needed supplies; only then could Xin Yi proceed with his next actions.

In Longchuan City within Heavenly Pride Nation, the business of Three Tiger Group was thriving. Huang Mang and the other leaders weren't particularly business-savvy at first, but after taking Xin Yi's advice and hiring a professional manager, things started improving. The group's operations were not something Huang Mang and his peers could handle on their own; many aspects were beyond their understanding. Fortunately, Three Tiger Group had merged with the entire Binhai business sector, which kept them busy enough without leaving them idle.
The collaboration between Three Tiger Group and Junxing Group on a plot of land in Zhongjiang had now entered the construction phase. Thanks to Zhongjiang Xu Lao's green light and both companies' strong financial capabilities—not relying solely on loans like typical real estate developers—the construction was progressing rapidly. Shu Rui had come to regard Three Tiger Group as part of his own enterprise; for instance, Zhang Yangming, the general manager of Three Tiger Group, was someone Shu Rui had brought in. Originally, Shu Junxing intended for Zhang Yangming to work as a vice president at Junxing Group since he was more than qualified for that role. However, upon hearing that Three Tiger Group was looking for a general manager, Shu Rui promptly recommended Zhang Yangming for the position. Huang Mang and others knew about Shu Rui's relationship with Xin Yi; after all, Three Tiger Group essentially belonged to Xin Yi. It didn't matter who made decisions between them as they were a couple. Plus, Zhang Yangming was indeed talented, so they gladly accepted him.
After Xin Yi left Longchuan, Shen Shanshan finally went to work at the Heavenly Pride embassy in Lusan. Since returning to Heavenly Pride and experiencing so much over the past few months, she felt somewhat embarrassed even with Shen Dahai's backing from Liaodong Military Region. Fortunately, Shen Family generally believed that Shen Shanshan and Xin Yi's marriage was settled; they just needed to find a time when both were free to hold the wedding. Thus, Mother Shen had no objections regarding Shen Shanshan's departure.
Just a few days ago, Huang Mang suddenly received a call from Xin Yi back in Taiwan, asking him to select a few capable brothers from Beng Hu Second Battalion to go to Taiwan for business discussions...
