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

The aircraft landed in the courtyard. Jiang Xu patted Fei on the lower back and teased, "If you don't get up soon, Jiang Yi will be coming over!"

They had been sitting on the lawn for several minutes, and the other person showed no sign of getting up.

"My lord," Fei looked up at him, his voice low and cold, "I... may not be able to spend the New Year with you."

He received the order to depart today yesterday, but he deliberately delayed it for a whole day.

"Investigating the strange beasts?" Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, but quickly connected the dots to the other female insect in the room.

They stayed at home for a whole week. The insect was released, but it was not completely free. There must be some things about it that hadn't been explained.

"Yes, General Lan has sent me and Wenxi to the west to investigate some matters." Fei thought for a moment, then immediately added, "You are not allowed to go this time."

"Are you ordering me around?" Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the insect's tone.

"I wouldn't dare." Fei immediately shook his head in response, "This time it's just me and Wenxi going, there are too many insects and we're afraid of alerting them."

"Okay." Jiang Xu raised his hand and pinched the tense face of the insect opposite him. "Just kidding."

He's not some unreasonable worm.

"When do we leave?" he continued to ask.

After a two-second silence, Fei replied, "Tomorrow."

Jiang Xu instantly understood that the other person was acting this way because they couldn't bear to part with him.

He softened his expression and gently stroked the other person's head: "Be careful, Xiao Yi and I are waiting for you at home."

This time, he didn't struggle with whether to go or not.

As Fei said, if they needed to infiltrate the West, his presence would only be a hindrance.

Of course, Jiang Xu had to admit that he was indeed no match for the female insect in front of him; after all, that was a fact.

Perhaps, being a male insect can bring him many preferential treatments and conveniences.

But when it comes to combat, it's ultimately the domain of these female insects.

No matter how reluctant we are, we will eventually have to part ways when the time comes.

The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Xu took the two little ones and saw off the two female insects.

The bustling house instantly became quiet.

Jiang Xu glanced at the room's furnishings, as if he could still recall the lively scene of the four insects and one weasel in this room during the past week.

He sighed, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Xu raised his hand and scratched the little bug's head: "From now on, it'll just be the three of us left at home."

The redness in the insect's eyes hadn't completely faded, and its eyes still held a few tears: "Father... Father, where did you go?"

Jiang Xu gently wiped away the tears from his eyes with his thumb: "Father-in-law has gone to do something important. You need to stay home and wait for him obediently, okay?"

"Then... then, when are we going home?" Jiang Yi sniffed, looking at Jiang Xu with teary eyes.

"I'll be back after the New Year. Be a good boy, and give your father a little surprise, okay?" Jiang Xu patted his head. "Your father will be surprised and say, 'Xiao Yi has grown up.'"

"Uh-huh!"

The little insect nodded vigorously.

When the little bug learned that Fei was leaving last night, it cried for a while.

I didn't plan to wake him up this morning, but as soon as Jiang Xu got up, the little bug opened his eyes and insisted on going with his female father.

And so, she cried again.

Jiang Xu helplessly patted his head.

He has a lot to do next. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and it would be a real shame if he, the boss who has been out of the public eye for a long time and has only visited the company once or twice, didn't go to see the company again.

During this period, almost everything fell on Yu Heng's shoulders.

"Does the little bug miss his grandfather?" Jiang Xu patted his head, Qiao's image flashing in his eyes. Calculating the time, his younger brother would be born in about half a month.

He looked at the insect in front of him. From hatching to now, the insect had changed quite a bit.

The markings on the back of his neck have become much deeper, and his wings and claws have become increasingly sharp, often tearing things in the house.

According to the growth and development pattern of the Zerg, in another six months, he will gradually grow from a semi-Zerg form into a baby.

"Yes," Jiang Yi replied softly, sniffing.

"Your father is sending you there for a while. How about you keep your great-grandfather and grandfather company for him?" Jiang Xu suggested.

"?" Jiang Yi tilted his head. His female father had just left, and now his male father didn't want him either?

Seeing that the other person was about to cry again, Jiang Xu immediately spoke up, his voice tinged with melancholy: "Sigh—, Xiong's father will be busy for a while and won't have time to take care of them. If only there were some insects that could help me."

"Little bug, I can help!" Jiang Yi instantly wiped away the tears in his eyes, patting his little chest confidently, "I can take care of Grandfather and Great-Grandfather!"

"Really?" Jiang Xu had already sat down on the sofa. He placed the insect on the coffee table and asked, feigning surprise, "The insect is already this powerful?"

"Yes, really!" Jiang Yi had long forgotten his previous grievances. At this moment, he only wanted to help his father take care of his grandfather and great-grandfather, as if he wanted to show that although he was only a month old, he could do a lot of things.

"Then you've really done Xiong's father a great favor." A smile flashed in Jiang Xu's eyes.

This little insect, like its mother, can forget its own name completely if given some praise.

However, neither of the insects noticed that the weasel next to them was watching their interaction with a look that was hard to describe.

The insect cubs were quickly sent to the Jiang family.

When Jiang Xu returned to his residence on Qingcao Street, the house, which had felt cramped before, suddenly felt empty.

The only sound inside was the sound of his own footsteps; there was no other noise.

Faint noises came from the neighboring houses on both sides, not very clear, but they were still more lively than his "lonely" home.

He sighed and looked up at the clock on the wall.

2:30 p.m.

There was still some time before the company employees left work. Yu Heng sent a message saying that he was looking for a high-end restaurant at OneTime to temporarily rent a conference room for the New Year's Eve buffet.

The year-end summary is also planned to be held in that conference room.

Jiang Xu hesitated for a few seconds, then turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

The already quiet room became even more tranquil, completely shutting out the hustle and bustle outside.

OneTime's mall manager was patrolling and inspecting the mall as usual.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the number of insects in the mall is increasing, mostly people coming to buy New Year's goods, and many companies are also booking the mall for their year-end parties.

Therefore, their patrols became more rigorous, changing from once a day to once every two hours.

As soon as Jiang Xu entered the room, he saw a familiar-looking female insect rushing towards him.

That's right, they came running.

The "奔" in "策马奔腾" (galloping horse) means to gallop.

"Young Master Jiang, what brings you to OneTime today?" This was the first time he had encountered the young master of the largest investor since the incident at the employee entrance a few months ago.

Even running over there was slow.
