Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!
Chapter 54 is not peaceful
He quickly confirmed the location where Zoran and his group had found Jiang Mian's clothes; a cliff was not far away.
Jiang Xu's heart suddenly tightened as he looked at the two pieces of information: they had missed each other.
this........
Jiang Xu continued to sort through the records and found that when they went down the cliff, there was nothing but bloodstains all over the ground.
Ding ~ Ding ~
Jiang Xu looked up and glanced at the entrance downstairs. Fei had already gone to the military headquarters at this time. Anyone familiar with the family would know that he was the only one living there now.
He initially didn't want to bother with it, but the doorbell kept ringing, and it seemed the bugs at the door wouldn't give up even if he didn't open the door.
After putting aside the important evidence he had just found, he got up and went downstairs to open the door.
"Didn't you say he was home?" Bernd complained to Zoe, looking at the door that no one had paid any attention to.
Zoe turned to look at him, equally impatient: "I told you not to follow me."
He suspected that Jiang Xu had been corrupted by Bernd and was now doing whatever was dangerous.
"What, you're his friend, but I'm not?" Bernd crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly. "He's in trouble, why can't I come and see him?"
"Where did you hear that from?" Zoe looked at him quietly. He had just left home when he ran into Bernd, who had come to find him.
He deliberately took a back path because he had something to discuss with Jiang Xu today, but he still couldn't avoid him.
And so they got entangled together.
Throughout the entire conversation, he did not mention to him that Jiang Xu had an accident.
"Tch." Bernd glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully, "You think you're the only one with sources?"
Hmph, don't forget that my queen is their boss's boss. What can be hidden from me?
I know more about it than you do.
"......." Zoe suddenly felt confused. Oh right, there was a female general in their family who happened to be their boss.
He looked at Bernd, who was like a chicken that had been beaten to a pulp, with his chin held high in arrogance: "If you know how good your queen is, then treat her well. Don't play those dirty tricks."
"Explain yourself clearly. Where did I use any underhanded tactics?" Bernd glared at him, bristling. "Where did I treat him badly?"
"Look at all the clubs we went to before, none of the females there could compare to him."
"........Nonsense." Zoe suspected that this insect's values were learned from those places: "Why don't you learn from how Grandfather Jiang treated female insects?"
Not the best, but not the worst either, is that right?
Just as Bernd was about to reply, the door opened.
"What are you two making a racket for in front of my house?" Jiang Xu heard the two insects arguing outside before he even reached the door. He quickly opened the door and said, "Don't you know where you are? Are you just here to entertain the insects?"
Without even thinking, he could guess the curious looks from his neighbors.
As he opened the door, he looked around and, sure enough, they were all peering at the two insects at his doorstep.
A well-dressed male insect with a warm expression and another male insect dressed in casual clothes with an arrogant look, both exuding an air of nobility, were arguing incessantly in front of the gate of a working-class neighborhood.
Who wouldn't want to go and see what the excitement is like?
As Zoe listened to Jiang Xu's words, she looked around and saw many heads that hadn't had time to leave.
"..." He ignored Bernd beside him and quickly went inside.
Unlike Zoe, who tried to maintain a facade after discovering the insects, Bernd turned around and shouted directly at the onlookers, "Keep looking! Keep looking and I'll make sure you regret it!"
You trash..."
Before he could even utter the word "insect," Jiang Xu grabbed his arm and pulled him into the house.
"What are you doing?" Bernd stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Stop it for a bit, I'm going to be staying here for a long time," Jiang Xu said casually.
Bernd pulled his hand away from Jiang Xu's, rubbed his arm which had been pinched so hard, and complained, "Why didn't you stay in a big house? You came to live in this slum."
He glanced at the house casually and clicked his tongue, "Isn't this shabby place crowded?"
He even suspected that it was because he had been encouraged to come and see the female insect that he had stopped going back to his own house.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a slap followed. Zoe couldn't help but slap him on the head: "Can't you speak properly? Shut up."
Jiang Xu looked at the two insects, sighed helplessly, searched in the shoe cabinet by the door, found two pairs of unopened new slippers, tore off the packaging, and handed them to them: "Make do with these, if you don't like them, go buy a pair yourself."
These two old men are still so noisy when they're together.
Zoe didn't have any special requirements for these things; as long as they were new and wearable, that was fine.
On the other hand, Bernd looked disgusted, but he didn't dare to say anything more for fear of being kicked out.
After they changed into slippers, Jiang Xu led them inside.
"Sit wherever you like." Jiang Xu sat down on the sofa without any hesitation.
Bernd looked at him with a look of utter disdain, as if he were a rare find, but couldn't help asking, "We're already in the living room? I haven't even moved my feet."
"It's so small, can insects really live in it?"
Suddenly, he saw the stairs not far away and exclaimed, "There's actually a second floor here!"
The house, about the size of a shoebox, actually has everything.
Zoe rubbed her temples: "Can't you sit still?"
If this continues, he'll forget the important business he came here for today.
He sat down on the sofa next to Jiang Xu, looking at him with a serious expression: "Weren't you running your own small business? How did you end up taking over the Jiang family's business and heading north?"
"Let's go take a look." Jiang Xu remembered Zoran's words. There was no other way; if you wanted to do something, you always had to give something in return. It was just an equal exchange.
"?" Zoe really wanted to give Jiang Xu a whack on the head, just like she did with Bernd. Was this something she could just casually look at?
But you shouldn't touch a child's head.
"What's so interesting about that?" Bernd sat down to the side, crossed his legs, and leaned back. "Of the four divisions now, only the east is relatively safe. The other places are too convoluted."
He still prefers a comfortable environment.
"Speaking of which, I have a feeling that the east is about to fall into chaos." Jiang Xu thought about what he had been dealing with recently and had a premonition, especially the unusual events on the northern and western battlefields.
"Speaking of which, I've noticed it too," Bernd suddenly said, looking at the two insects.
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow: "You still care about these things?"
"That's right," Bernd suddenly sighed, "Lan hasn't been home much lately, and when she does come back, it's very late."
He can't even find any insects to bully anymore.
"........" Zoe looked at him speechlessly: "I was going to praise you, but thank goodness I didn't."
"What's wrong with me?" Bernd looked back indifferently. "Isn't everything fine?"
