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

"What?" Jiang Mian knew Jiang Xu wouldn't ask this out of curiosity, so he continued, "I did touch this a few minutes before you came back."

But he casually put it in his pocket.

Jiang Xu frowned. He had a bold idea: what if he came back because of this?

But that doesn't make sense either, because he didn't hear anything when he came back last time.

Could it be—

Was it because the instrument was repaired?

Zerg, Jiang family.

Jiang Xu disappeared right before the butler's eyes, causing his expression to change drastically and his entire body to panic.

He hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on Zoran's bedroom door.

"Master, Master! Something terrible has happened!"

The knocking on the door was so intense that Zoran slowly woke up; he hadn't slept for such a long time in a long time.

He glanced at the increasingly loud knocking at the door and said, "Come in."

Hearing Zoran's voice, the butler hurriedly opened the door and went in, looking at the insects on the bed in a panic: "Master, something terrible has happened, the young master has disappeared again."

"What?" Zoe was stunned, instantly jumping out of bed and heading downstairs. "What happened?"

"Everything was fine until I heard something break in the study just now, so I asked the young master if he needed me to go in and clean it up."

At lunchtime, he called the young master to eat, but he refused, telling them not to disturb him. So they didn't dare to knock on the door easily.

"But less than a minute later, the young master came out looking very unwell. Not only that, I saw that his ears and hands were covered in blood, and then he disappeared."

If it weren't for his previous experience with this kind of thing, he would have really felt like he had encountered a monster and his soul was about to be taken away.

The butler, still shaken, followed Zoran into the study.

Zoran checked the study; the instruments in the corner remained quietly in place, none of them turned on.

Just as the housekeeper had said, a cup was broken on the floor under the desk.

He turned and his gaze fell on the doorknob. His expression turned cold; the bloodstains on it were very obvious.

"Did the young master say anything when he came out?"

"No," the butler recalled the scene, "but I felt he wanted to run away, as if something in the room was chasing him."

"Escape?" Zoran looked around the room, which was completely empty except for—the equipment in the corner.

He glanced down at the equipment: "Get a technician over here, the sooner the better."

"Yes." The butler quickly left the room.

Zoran's taut nerves caused a sharp pain in both sides of his forehead. He raised his hand to rub it and walked behind the table to sit down.

twice!

He was by Xiaoxu's side both times when Xiaoxu suddenly disappeared.

He glanced expressionlessly at the documents on the table, which Jiang Xu had divided into four piles from their original mess.

He reached out and took a document. The other party had given very detailed feedback, pointing out not only the problems in the description but also providing solutions at the bottom of the document.

He put it back and picked up another stack of documents, doing the same.

After looking at them one by one, he realized that Jiang Xu had placed them according to the four insect zones of east, south, west, and north.

knock --

He looked up and saw several insects appear at the doorway. Judging from the sweat dripping from their foreheads, they had also rushed over as fast as they could.

"Mr. Zoran, we've come over to check the machine," one of the insects said to Zoran behind the table.

"Hmm," Zoran slightly raised his neck, pointing his chin to the instrument in the corner: "Check quickly."

The insects scattered in a swarm; they had all learned about Jiang Xu's situation.

The natural detection speed is much faster.

In less than an hour, they had thoroughly examined the machine inside and out, but the data was different from what they had expected.

The lead insect cautiously looked at Zoran: "Mr. Zoran, there's nothing wrong with the instrument, we're still missing just one part."

No signs of recent use were detected on the instrument.

Zoran stood up coldly and walked to the insects: "Activate it."

The insect knew his intention, turned around and walked to the smaller instrument, and pressed the start button.

The sound of instruments running could be heard from inside the room, just as they thought Jiang Xu would appear as before.

Time passed slowly, and these few insects waited quietly for who knows how long.

The room grew so cold that only a slight chill remained. Zoran asked, "What happened?"

It's long past the time when Jiang Xu last appeared, so why are there still no insects?

"Continue the inspection."

Zoran coldly gave the order.

It was already dark outside. When Jiang Xu returned home, not only Zuo Lan, but also Fei were there.

Fei returned home early today, reported to General Lan about Wenxi's situation and what Wenxi had told him, and then went home.

After he entered the house, he saw Wenxi lying on the sofa downstairs and carefully walked over.

He met Wenxi's eyes directly: "You're not asleep?"

"......." He's not a big bug who sleeps all day long. Wenxi sat up and leaned against the back of the sofa: "I'm the only bug in the house. All I do is sleep and daydream."

And I've already slept all morning.

"Then why aren't you saying anything?" Fei walked to the sofa and sat down, looking around the room before glancing upstairs: "Has Lord Jiang Xu returned home?"

"No." Wenxi glanced to the side.

Fei thought for a moment and sent Jiang Xu a message: "My lord, when are you coming home?"

He glanced at the sky outside. If he prepared the food at this time, Jiang Xu could come back and have a meal.

He got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing his expression, Wenxi got up and followed him to the kitchen. Leaning against the door, she looked at Fei, who was preparing dinner inside, and said, "Brother, you've changed."

Fei paused for a moment, but quickly resumed preparing the ingredients: "Is there any?"

"Yes, you used to hate going into the kitchen." Since he met Fei, she had never been in the kitchen.

When he was a child, he asked the other person out of curiosity.

Fei simply gave him three words: "I don't like it."

As time went on, he gradually realized that in Fei's mind, going into the kitchen meant preparing food for the male insects, and he hated the male insects.

Therefore, I also hate the kitchen.

He believed that if the allocated house hadn't come with its own kitchen, there would never have been such a functional room here.

only--

Seeing the other person's busy figure now, an indescribable emotion welled up in my heart.

"Yeah, right." Fei skillfully performed the actions in his hands. "I quite like it now. Insects aren't static, Wenxi."

He has now found a bug that can change him, and he is very happy.

Everything was prepared, but Jiang Xu's reply still hadn't arrived.

Fei frowned slightly, staring blankly at the communicator on his wrist.

"Tsk." Wenxi couldn't stand his expression. "Couldn't you just give him a call?"

"He might be busy." Fei lowered his hand, a bad feeling spreading through his heart.
