Rather than waiting passively for a windfall, it's more like trying anything as a last resort. After all, they've considered so many possibilities, they have to test them one by one.

After all, the information provided for this mission was really limited; they even had to find out where the people were staying on their own.

That was a bit of a letdown for my teammates.

"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, girl, have you guessed something?" Chen Yuanchao was still in a daze and had no idea what this girl was up to.

"Let me put it this way, I suspect that the Sweet Water Lane in the photo might be this kind of sweet bean noodle. When you hear him say 'sweet bean noodle,' and when you hear an old Cantonese person say 'Sweet Water Lane,' aren't they very similar?"

When He Caiwei said this, Chen Yuanchao was truly shocked. This girl definitely had a brain that was a fraction of what they did.

She managed to grasp the key point from just a shout, which is truly admirable.

"When will he come out? Or did you find out where he lives?" Chen Yuanchao looked at the girl expectantly.

"No, I don't know where that uncle lives either, but he always appears at Yu Shi Lou around 3 pm every day. It's not far from where that uncle just set up his stall. It's called Yu Shi Lou because there are two lions at the entrance." Yu Shi Lou is a very famous restaurant in Guangzhou, similar to Fu Yun Restaurant in Shenzhen.

"Should we set up there in advance? How far should we ambush them?" Chen Yuanchao was already eager to try. Those Japanese pirates had caused widespread panic, and they couldn't live in peace for even a few days. She was determined to make sure they had no peace either.

"I don't know yet. I still need to go to Jade Lion Tower. Tomorrow is just for waiting. If it's really confirmed, then we'll make arrangements for the operation. We can't be too hasty, lest we alert him and scare away his superiors and subordinates." He Caiwei really didn't know what the situation was like at Jade Lion Tower. She needed to find out more before making a decision.

"Okay, you can rest first. I'll go get you some food. You can tell me what you want to eat, and I'll bring it to you for dinner." Chen Yuanchao wanted to go out and talk to his captain, and also tell him about their discovery. Good, so he could arrange work for tomorrow.

His main task was to accompany the little girl and protect her, but he felt that the little girl's fighting skills were higher than his, and she didn't need his protection at all.

"I'm not a picky eater. I can eat anything as long as it's not too strong in flavor. Thank you, Brother Chen." He Caiwei wanted to soak her feet, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, she was fine with anything that wasn't too strong in flavor.

After Chen Yuanchao left, He Caiwei locked the door and returned to her space. As soon as she entered, she went to the hot spring pool, took off her outer clothes, and soaked her feet in the hot spring.

After soaking for about 20 minutes, she finally came back to life; her feet were so numb she could barely feel them.

She soaked in the hot spring for another 10 minutes before coming out. She put her original clothes back on and came out, because Chen Yuanchao would be coming over to bring her food later, so she couldn't change her clothes now.

These guesthouses don't have bathrooms in the rooms. You have to use the public toilet in the hallway to go to the toilet. There are also time slots for showering. It's not time for showering yet, so it's not normal for her to change clothes immediately after returning.

She had only been out of the space for 10 minutes when Chen Yuanchao returned. He had already reported the situation to the team leader, and now that he had finished his work, he went back to the guesthouse to be with the young girl.

The captain repeatedly warned him not to leave her alone, so he rushed to find the captain as fast as he could. By the time he returned to the guesthouse, he was already panting heavily.

"Brother Chen, there's no need to rush." ​​He Caiwei thought he was in a hurry to get back, which was why he ran so fast and looked so out of breath.

"It's alright, little sister, you're here to eat. I got you some shredded pork with garlic sauce, some braised pork, and some tofu soup. Come on, let's eat first." Chen Yuanchao said as he walked over and opened the lunchbox.

This metal lunchbox, filled with food, was very hot to the touch, but Chen Yuanchao seemed not to feel the heat at all. He placed one hand under the lunchbox and opened the top lunchbox with the other, revealing several large pieces of braised pork.

He Caiwei doesn't reject braised pork. After all, most master chefs nowadays are genuine, and a master chef working in a state-run restaurant can't make it without real skills.

The braised pork at the state-run restaurant in Shenzhen is truly exceptional, with its rich red color, tender and bouncy texture, and especially the skin, which she absolutely adores.

She didn't know how skilled the chef was, but the aroma was truly tempting.

"Brother Chen, you don't need so much. I can't finish it all, and there's too much meat." He Caiwei picked up her own lunchbox and opened Chen Yuanchao's lunchbox, scooping out half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of braised pork before stopping.

After he finished rummaging through everything, the other person finally realized that this girl was only growing taller but not eating much, and she was never full.

"This is enough. There's still so much meat. I'm afraid I'll get too full later." This little bit of food is indeed not enough for Caiwei, but he has a space where he can have a supplementary meal. It's quite difficult for people like Chen Yuanchao who eat regularly and in fixed quantities to have a supplementary meal unless they pay a high price.

Even as special forces soldiers, our salaries aren't very high. We also have to take care of our parents, wives, and children, so we don't have much money left. She didn't know if she had been reimbursed for this meal, but she still wanted to take care of these older brothers who had been looking after her.

She wouldn't let anyone else eat her leftovers, except for Lu Qingfeng.

"Stop it, stop it. The girl gave me all the meat. You won't have enough to eat." Chen Yuanchao looked at his lunchbox full of meat. He was really afraid that if he gave the meat to the girl, she wouldn't have enough to eat.

"No, I don't have a big appetite. This is enough for me. I also have milk and snacks for a supplementary meal. Brother Chen, please eat quickly before it gets cold." He Caiwei quickly pushed the full lunchbox in front of him, urging him to eat first.

When the two finished their meal, Meng Dong came over and knocked on the door. He had already made plans for tomorrow, so he wanted to come over and discuss them with the young woman.

They had just returned from eating out. He had already arranged for people to keep an eye on that alley today, and even at night, they dared not relax their vigilance. Well, they hoped to finish their business as soon as possible and go back.

"Hey, Lao Meng, you're back. What's up? Did you send someone to keep an eye on things over there?" He Caiwei watched him come in with the drawings, and reached out to take them from him. At first, she couldn't figure out what the drawing was. The drawing was really bad, and it didn't look like anything. What was he trying to express? She couldn't figure it out either.

But when he spread the drawings out on the table and asked Lao Meng to explain them, she never imagined that she would regret it so much an hour later. If it had led to this, she would never have spoken up at this moment.
