The area of Kaibu Port is quite large, covering more than fifty square kilometers, which is even bigger than Haining, but the population is not high, with fewer than two hundred thousand residents, among which only a little over five thousand are from Vajra State.
Despite this, the influence of the Vajra State people in the Assembly Hall of the Ministry stationed at the port is second only to Xiazhu and even surpasses that of Yingzhou.
The commerce in Kaibu Port is very prosperous, with the total trade volume accounting for almost half of the entire Haining City, making it even more bustling than Haining City itself.
As I walked along the street, admiring the scenery, I occasionally encountered a few people from Vajra State.
The Vajra State residents here enjoy a high standard of living; men wear silk garments and black caps, while women don long flowing skirts, exuding an air of high society.
After observing for a while, I suddenly heard someone call out to me: "Ye Yifan?"
I turned around to see a scholar dressed in a blue robe standing behind me.
I was slightly taken aback: "Who are you?"
The scholar smiled and said, "Don't you remember? We met at the Mid-Autumn Flower Festival in Nanjiang."
I suddenly realized: "Oh, it's you."
This scholar's name is Leiming Yuan; he is a scholar from Vajra State. He is fascinated by Xiazhu culture and came to Xiazhu to study. Currently, he is studying at Vanshang Academy in Haining, Vajra State.
When I was on business in Nanjiang last time, I had chatted with him for a bit, and I didn't expect to run into him here.
I smiled and asked, "When did you come back?"
Leiming Yuan replied, "Yesterday."
I asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Leiming Yuan shook his head.
I said, "Then let me treat you to a meal."
"That's great!" Leiming Yuan exclaimed.
I took Leiming Yuan into a restaurant and ordered a few dishes along with two bowls of white rice.
"Can I order the dishes?" Leiming Yuan asked.
"Of course," I replied.
Leiming Yuan picked up the menu, looked it over for a while, and said, "I want a Braised Fish, a Braised Tofu, Stir-Fried Kidney Slices, and Stir-Fried Vegetable Hearts."
I nodded, "Alright, please wait a moment."
I called the waiter over and gave him a few instructions.
Before long, the food was served.
Leiming Yuan wasted no time, picking up chopsticks and devouring both bowls of rice and all four dishes in no time.
I watched in astonishment, "How many days have you gone without eating?"
"One day," Leiming Yuan replied.
I asked in confusion, "Is that why you're eating so much?"
Leiming Yuan chuckled, "I have a big appetite."
I sighed and said, "You really are..."
Leiming Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for treating me to this meal."
"You're welcome," I replied.
Leiming Yuan suddenly asked, "Are you from the Military Secret Intelligence Division?"
I was taken aback for a moment and replied, "How did you know?"
Leiming Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about how I know; I just do."
I looked at him, a hint of caution flashing in my eyes.
However, Leiming Yuan seemed oblivious to my wariness and continued, "I know that everyone from the Military Secret Intelligence Division is an elite and patriotic, right?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Of course we are patriotic, but why do you ask?"
Leiming Yuan fell silent for a moment before quietly saying, "I have an important matter I would like to ask of you."
I inquired, "What matter?"
Leiming Yuan hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "I've run into some trouble."
I frowned and asked, "What kind of trouble?"
Leiming Yuan hesitated again before whispering, "I've been deceived."
