"How about we play another one in two minutes?" Hill asked.

Yu Heng thought for a moment and nodded: "Try making another call in two minutes."

Half an hour later, on Qingcao Street, three insects stood in front of Jiang Xu's house, all staring into the courtyard.

Yu Heng clung to the wrought iron gate, looking at the aircraft parked on the lawn—proof that Jiang Xu was clearly at home.

But they had already rang the doorbell several times.

When I visited before, even if there were no insects in the house, the gate to the courtyard was always open, but today it was firmly closed.

Judging from the appearance, Jiang Xu must have closed the door after returning home last night.

It's not open yet at this hour, are they still not up?

When Mr. Ryan went out to take out the trash, he saw three insects sneaking around on the iron gate of Jiang Xu's house.

"Who are you?" He asked Yu Heng and the other insects without thinking.

"Who are you?" Yu Heng straightened up, leaning against the door, and looked towards the source of the voice. "Oh, it's you."

He recognized the insect; it was Jiang Xu's next-door neighbor. He'd seen it at the door the first time he'd come home with Jiang Xu.

"Did you see Jiang Xu today?" Yu Heng asked casually, as if they were old friends.

When Ryan saw Yu Heng, he paused for a moment, then quickly bowed to him and said, "Your Excellency, good day."

He also had some impression of the male insect in front of him—after all, the probability of seeing a male insect in this area was not high, let alone a male insect that had returned home with Jiang Xu, so the impression was naturally more profound.

After pausing for a few seconds to think, he added, "I haven't seen Lord Jiang Xu leave the house today." He glanced at the aircraft in the courtyard and the fallen leaves on the ground, then added:

"He probably hasn't left his room yet. In the past, he would clean up the fallen leaves in the yard early in the morning."

Yes, that's right.

Since the lawn incident, he noticed that Jiang Xu had fallen in love with the job and would tidy up the yard early every day.

Except for the occasional time when neither of the two insects is there, there are hardly any fallen leaves left in this yard.

Yu Heng hummed in agreement, then suddenly pointed to the wrought iron gate and asked, "Do you know how to open this gate?"

"......." Ryan was speechless. Did this male insect even know what he was asking?

Is this asking him to teach the other how to invade a male insect's home? Is he being targeted for murder?

Yu Heng saw his concerns: "It's okay, just tell me how, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Ryan thought to himself: The Male Insect Protection Association won't do that.

"..." Yu Heng frowned, crossed his arms, and looked at him: "You want to join the Xiongbao Association?"

Upon hearing this, not only was Ryan on the other side stunned, but even the two insects next to him seemed to cast surprised glances at him.

Hill and Dong's gazes were so intense that Yu Heng felt incredibly awkward: "Don't look at me like that, I'm just trying to scare him."

He spoke casually, but the three female insects beside him thought differently.

"Uncle Heng, you look exactly like a domineering male insect now," Dong complained in a childish voice.

"Shh—" Yu Heng gestured for him to be quiet: "Don't tell your father-in-law."

Dong rolled his eyes, then looked pitifully at Ryan: "Uncle, we couldn't get in touch with Lord Jiang Xu, so we were worried something might have happened to him, so we came all the way from far away to see him."

Could you tell us how to open this door?

If it weren't for this female insect, Dong would have already scaled the wall and gotten in. But now, it seems impossible—if he were charged with theft, that would be troublesome.

Ryan looked at him questioningly: "Really?"

Dong blinked, pursing his lips slightly: "I'm not lying to you. If we really intended to do anything to harm Lord Jiang Xu, we would have kicked this door down long ago."

"Look, we're still outside the door."

Ryan glanced at the courtyard wall; indeed, it would be too difficult to stop them from getting in.

He thought for a moment, then reached out to help them open the iron gate.

He stopped just before his hand touched the door lock and looked at Yu Heng: "Sir, if there's any accountability, you'll all have to bear it, right?"

"Yes, I keep my word." Yu Heng nodded in response.

With Yu Heng's assurance, Ryan quickly entered the unlocking code using the communicator.

Because their house and Major General Fei's house were in a row, the password was actually only different in the last digit.

In this area, all the gates are like this; the key is self-discipline—after all, it's very easy for female insects to enter an insect's home.

"Alright." As he spoke, the door clicked shut and automatically retracted into the wall.

"Thank you, Uncle." Dong bowed to him and expressed his gratitude.

"Well... I'll be going now." Ryan said, and before the insects could react, he hurried home as if he were fleeing.

Seemingly afraid that these insects would make him keep waiting, they even opened the inner gate to the horse stable for them.

"Uncle Heng, did you see that? Be polite to the female insects, it'll make things easier." Dong glanced at Yu Heng and walked directly into the yard.

"Hey, kid." Yu Heng never expected to be lectured by a little bug. He said angrily, "Are you itching for a beating? Let me help your father loosen your skin."

"No way." Dong ran straight to the steps and rang the doorbell inside the house on tiptoe.

"Ding-dong— Ding-dong— Ding-dong—"

After a few rings, it disappeared without a trace, just like those two communications.

Yu Heng was silent for a moment, then walked around to the side of the house. He remembered that this family had a habit of keeping the windows open.

As expected, the windows of the house were wide open, and the cold wind made the curtains rustle.

He peered through the window, but there was no sign of any insects.

Looking towards the entrance, Jiang Xu's shoes were neatly arranged at the door.

This means that the other person really didn't go out.

However, despite ringing the doorbell for so long, there was still no response.

Yu Heng's expression turned serious. Ignoring everything else, he used a clever trick to prop himself up against the window and jumped inside.

He walked to the entrance and opened the door from the inside. The two insects outside looked at him in surprise.

"How did you get in?" Hill asked, his face filled with shock and confusion.

Yu Heng dragged his shoes to the entrance, then stepped aside to make way, revealing the house behind him: "There, they climbed in."

He pointed to the open window and said, "Don't worry about that, come in quickly, it seems Jiang Xu is in trouble."

With such a loud commotion, if Jiang Xu were in a conscious state, he would absolutely not have come out to investigate.

After saying that, Yu Heng turned and walked towards the stairs to the second floor. He followed the spot he remembered Fei had stood in, all the way to the master bedroom door, where he knocked: "Jiang Xu, are you there?"

Yu Heng knocked on the door rather hard, and Hill, who had rushed over, quickly stopped him, saying, "If you keep knocking like that, the door will break."

Yu Heng glanced at him, said nothing, and moved his hand to the door lock, gently turning it—the door opened.

The room was eerily quiet.

As female insects, Hill and Dong naturally dared not enter Jiang Xu's bedroom out of courtesy.

But Yu Heng was different; without thinking, he went straight in.
