Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

In the end, Zoran was half-pushed and half-supported by Jiang Xu and led upstairs.

He finally let out a long sigh of relief after returning to his study.

Jiang Xu discovered that when these female insects got stubborn, they were quite difficult to deal with. If he hadn't experienced so many similar situations with Jiang Mian since he was a child, he really wouldn't have been able to handle them.

Jiang Xu walked behind the table and sat down.

He glanced at the documents spread out on the table in front of him; they had been placed in front of Zoran when he first came in.

This couple really wants to enslave him on both sides.

He picked up a pen and began annotating the documents, writing down the processing methods after reading each one.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and the number of documents on the table that needed processing dwindled.

He arranged the documents on the table in a categorized manner.

Suddenly, Jiang Xu heard a low-frequency noise and looked in the direction of the sound—it was the instrument in the corner.

The sound grew louder and louder. Jiang Xu felt the sound piercing his eardrums, causing a sharp pain in his ears. He stood up, but his hand accidentally knocked over the glass that Zoran had been drinking from on the table.

It rolled a few times on the table before falling to the floor with a loud "bang," shattering into pieces.

He was suddenly startled and walked toward the door with a grim expression. He had only taken a few steps when there was a knock on the door.

"Young Master, what happened?" The butler, hearing the sound of porcelain shattering on the floor, asked anxiously, "Should I get some insects to deal with?"

Inside, the sound of the instruments was still deafening, and Jiang Xu quickened his pace even more.

He suddenly felt the sound begin to muffle, as if something was blocking his ears, and soon a ticklish sensation slid down his ears.

Jiang Xu frowned, pressing down on the rolling itch, feeling its warmth to the touch.

What's going on? Jiang Xu turned to look at the instrument. The instrument was not activated, but the sharp sound still surrounded him and did not leave.

Jiang Xu suddenly opened the study door, wanting to escape quickly, only to find that his palms were covered in dark red.

Was that his blood?

He realized that if he didn't leave now, he might never be able to leave again.

"Young Master." The butler saw Jiang Xu rush out and was about to ask something when he noticed the blood dripping from the tip of his ear. He was startled: "What happened?"

He immediately called out, "Quickly, find the family doctor!"

Ding--

Jiang Xu clearly heard the sound of the instrument starting up, and a bad feeling instantly crept into his heart.

"........." Jiang Xu stared speechlessly at the familiar scene and the familiar people.

The other party seemed to have noticed him as well.

After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately stood up: "Jiang Xu!"

Jiang Mian quickly noticed the bloodstains on both sides of Jiang Xu's ears, was startled, and immediately called his private doctor.

The call was answered quickly: "Come to the Jiang family."

The person on the other end was clearly startled by Jiang Mian, not expecting that Old Master Jiang would personally call him so early in the morning: "Okay."

Hearing the straightforward reply from the other end, Jiang Mian hung up the phone again.

He looked at Jiang Xu and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I was about to ask that too," Jiang Xu said helplessly, speechless. "I heard a noise out of nowhere."

He then pointed to his ear: "And then it was like this."

He glanced at the sky outside; it seemed Jiang Mian had just gotten up not long ago.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Jiang Mian slapped Jiang Xu on the head, but stopped abruptly just before it landed: "How can I sleep well? A living person suddenly disappears right in front of me, how can I possibly sleep?"

Jiang Xu nodded knowingly: "That's true. According to the time conversion from last time, I've only been gone for one night?"

"Hmm." Jiang Mian glanced at him. "Why are you back again?"

"If I can answer you, I certainly will," Jiang Xu said, walking to the sofa and sitting down. He glanced at the documents on the desk and said, "You should rest more too."

I can't escape handling matters for you, no matter where I am.

Jiang Mian was initially worried that something might have happened to Jiang Xu, but now, apart from the blood on his ear, he really couldn't see anything wrong with him.

The healthiest thing is your mouth.

The family doctor arrived at the Jiang family soon, but Jiang Xu's condition was somewhat special, so he ended up going to the hospital.

Fortunately, the outcome was good; there was no problem with his brain, only a perforated eardrum.

"......" Jiang Xu looked at Jiang Mian speechlessly, then lay down on the sofa in the room: "Don't look at me like that, I'm annoyed right now."

Jiang Mian found it somewhat amusing: "You actually have worries?"

Jiang Xu glanced at him indifferently. How could he not be annoyed? He had just promised that the female insect a few days ago that it wouldn't disappear.

He's already made a slip of the tongue after only a few days.

Thinking of Fei, he became even more silent.

After a moment, he turned to look at Jiang Mian: "Your great-grandson is about to be born."

"?" Jiang Mian looked at him in surprise, his mind suddenly blank. "Great-grandson? You?"

"That's why I'm annoyed." What will happen to that female insect now that he's gone?

He sat up, frowning slightly. The last time he went back was because of that machine. So, shouldn't he go back when Zoran wakes up?

But Jiang Xu glanced at the clock on the wall of the study. It had been about three hours since he returned, which meant that four or five days had passed.

Why haven't they gone back yet?

He suddenly remembered the machine. When he went out, he deliberately looked at the machine and was sure that it was not turned on, but why was it making a sound?

Not only that, he also discovered that the insects in the Jiang family did not react to the sound at all.

In other words, only he could hear that sound!

Seeing that he was not speaking, Jiang Mian knew that the other party was having some thoughts, so he did not disturb him and went to sit down behind the desk.

He glanced at the metal hook on the table, picked it up and examined it.

Then I put it back in the desk drawer.

Ding--

A familiar sound came from behind, and Jiang Xu suddenly looked up in the direction of the sound.

"Did you hear anything?" He frowned as he looked at Jiang Mian.

"?" Jiang Mian's gaze fell on Jiang Xu. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, he opened the drawer behind him and picked up the metal hook he had just put in: "This?"

If there was any sound in the room just now, it was only when this thing was put into the drawer and lightly bumped against the table.

Jiang Xu walked to the table and took the metal clasp from Jiang Mian's hand. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a key, but it wasn't a normal key; it resembled a butterfly pendant, only made of metal.

"What is this?"

"I don't know." Jiang Mian replied, then noticed Jiang Xu looking at him with a strange expression. He was speechless. "I really don't know. This thing has been in the Jiang family for many years."

"It's just that now it's in my hands, but after I'm gone, it will be in yours."

"That's what he said again." Jiang Xu didn't bother to look at him and flicked the metal clasp in his hand.

Ding--

Another familiar sound rang out, and Jiang Xu suddenly had an idea, but it was too absurd.

"Were you fiddling with this when I came back yesterday?"
