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

Southern Insect Region, Jiang Family Branch Villa.

After returning to the southern capital, Jiang Baiyou and Jiang Baiyang hurriedly went home.

They didn't even have time to brush the snow off their clothes.

"Brother, why do you think Great-Grandfather needed this data?" In Jiang Baiyou's mind, they now had a huge advantage and didn't need to scout ahead or anything like that.

He wiped the icy fog from his forehead, which had melted from the heating, while looking at the map markings in Jiang Baiyang's hand, his tone full of doubt.

Jiang Baiyang glanced at him and said calmly, "You just need to know that your great-grandfather had his reasons for making this decision."

All they had to do was follow the instructions.

Over the years, Jiang Qin has made many decisions that they couldn't understand, but it is precisely because of these decisions that their branch family is now able to stand on equal footing with the main family.

Therefore, they developed the habit of automatically cooperating with all of Jiang Qin's actions.

As they spoke, the two insects had already reached the door of the study. The heavy solid wood door exuded an air of authority, and Jiang Baiyang gently knocked on the door.

Soon a steady voice came from inside: "Come in."

Inside the study, Jiang Qin was sitting behind a large desk, his fingertips stroking an old totem. When he saw the two insects enter, he looked up and glanced at them, his gaze falling on the paper in Jiang Baiyang's hand.

"Have you collected everything I asked you to collect?" Jiang Qin asked.

"All collected." Jiang Baiyang quickly stepped forward, respectfully handing the map to the desk with both hands.

A hand with somewhat withered skin, revealing the bone structure, took the document.

He glanced at the paper in his hand, a sharp glint in his eyes. He didn't examine it immediately, but instead looked up at the two insects in front of him: "Nothing went wrong along the way, right? You probably won't get any advantage from that kid Jiang Mian."

As he spoke, noticing the somber expressions on Jiang Baiyang and Jiang Baiyou's faces, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"My great-grandfather is right. We never saw my grandfather in the east," Jiang Baiyang replied calmly.

"Oh?" Jiang Qin's lips curled into a smile, seemingly aware that Jiang Mian was capable of such things. "Then, who mentored you during that time? The younger generation of the Jiang family?"

"Yes, my grandfather had Jiang Xu act as our representative and led us around the capital for a few days," Jiang Baiyang replied.

"Great-grandfather, you don't know, my grandfather was quite arrogant. When we were preparing to visit him at the Jiang family home, we learned that he had already left the capital several days ago."

"I even suspect he's deliberately avoiding us," Jiang Baiyou added, sounding somewhat displeased.

Jiang Baiyang glanced at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then solemnly said, "Great-grandfather, don't worry. Although Jiang Xu follows us every day, we have many cover locations interspersed among us."

They probably won't notice it right away.

"You've all worked hard. Go and rest now, have a good meal, and you don't need to worry about the rest." Jiang Qin slowly unfolded the map and put his eyes on the documents in his hand.

"Okay," the two brothers replied in unison. When Jiang Qin had more important matters to attend to, they decided not to disturb him any further and turned to leave the study.

Seeing the study door close, Jiang Baiyou's tension instantly relaxed: "I'm planning to invite some people from the insect region to have some barbecue. The food in the east is too bland. After eating it for so long, my mouth is getting so tasteless."

He looked at Jiang Baiyang and asked, "Brother, are you going?"

Jiang Baiyang was silent for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Okay."

Hearing the door close, Jiang Qin remained seated as still as a mountain, and the atmosphere in the study instantly became heavy. He looked at each address marked on the paper.

He carefully examined each piece of information, especially the connections between these addresses and the Eastern Palace and the military, as well as the Zerg responsible for related matters.

He pondered for a moment, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He slowly circled several addresses, then walked to a hidden compartment deep inside the study and took out a specially made communicator.

This communicator is encrypted and will only be used when he needs to contact the highest levels of the Western military.

Jiang Qin pressed the button on the communicator, his face very serious. It seemed that the matter he had been planning for so many years was about to come to fruition.

"Hello, who is this?" A deep voice came from the communicator, carrying the unique authority and cold indifference of a female soldier.

"Marshal Leon, it is I, Jiang Qin." Jiang Qin's voice was steady and powerful.

"Lord Jiang Qin?" Leon's voice twitched slightly for a moment before returning to normal. "Have the necessary items been prepared?"

"That's right," Jiang Qin said coldly. "I've already sent the evidence I've collected over this period to your communications."

"Understood." Leon's tone was calm, without a trace of the joy of about to reap a major reward.

Jiang Qin remained silent for a few seconds before speaking up to remind him, "Don't forget what Marshal Leon promised me."

"No," Leon said. "We Western insects value promises the most."

The call was disconnected. Jiang Qin put away his communicator, looked out at the sky, and muttered to himself: This day will soon be anything but peaceful.

Then a cold glint flashed in his eyes; the era of the Jiang family was about to begin.

He heard that the Eastern Royal Family had invited the Third District to discuss the mutation of the alien beasts, and based on the timeline, it should happen in the next few days.

I just don't know if the insects from the west will go.

Eastern Insect Zone, Green Grass Street.

Since clearing things up with the female insect, Jiang Xu has felt that the female insect's gaze towards him has become increasingly heavy these past few days.

If it weren't for the military's busy schedule, he believed that the insect would have stayed by his side every day.

Jiang Xu sat on the sofa, looking at the busy insect, and said helplessly, "Nothing happening at the military headquarters today?"

"Hmm." Fei paused for a moment, then continued arranging the items in the house: "The military's insects from the north and south have arrived in the last few days."

Only the western part of the region remained untouched by insects, which is why things have become quiet.

Jiang Xu looked at him and thought, "Yes, whenever he has free time, he starts moving things around the house. He's never idle."

He looked at the several boxes of belongings the other person had already packed: "What are you going to do with all this stuff?"

It's just a decorative piece, why would you put it away?

Fei stopped what he was doing, walked over and sat down beside Jiang Xu, looked at Jiang Xu seriously, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, I don't think the insects from the west will come."

When they went to the west, they had already investigated most of the matter, and the mutation of the strange beasts was inextricably linked to them.

As a party involved, how could I possibly come over?

Isn't this like a lamb entering a wolf's den?

Jiang Xu agreed with Fei's opinion, but said, "What does their coming or not have to do with you packing your things?"

Fei remained silent. He looked up at everything in the house, as if he could see Jiang Xu's figure in every single thing.

"I want to put them away and keep them. If something happens to them one day, at least they'll still be there." He cherishes every single item in the box.
