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

Lin An froze instantly upon hearing Jiang Xu's words, holding the communicator in his hand without moving: "Like this?"

"Lie backward in the direction you just came from." That little bit of light disappeared too quickly for Jiang Xu to pinpoint the location.

"Oh." Lin An thought about the trajectory just now and slowly leaned back.

"Stop." This time, not only Jiang Xu saw it, but Jiang Ping, who was next to him, also saw it. He immediately called out to Lin An.

"Hold on." Jiang Xu didn't look at Lin An, but stared straight at the light, gesturing to him with his hand.

Jiang Xu took a few steps forward and squatted down.

He finally understood why he hadn't seen it before: it was buried deep beneath the rubble, requiring light from a specific location to penetrate the rubble and reflect off it.

At this moment, Jiang Xu didn't care about cleanliness or being a clean freak.

They started moving the rubble directly at the top of the light spot.

The stones ranged in size from as large as an insect's embrace to slightly larger than a fist. Because they were located in a windy spot behind a crack in the rock, the cold evening wind had blown away a lot of yellow sand, which led to the scene they had just witnessed.

Jiang Ping joined in, and soon a half-meter square stone pit was dug out.

Only then did he realize what the reflective object was!

It was similar to the communicator he wore on his wrist, but the style looked much older. The dial was covered with a layer of yellow sand, and the reflective point was the button device next to him.

The silver had a cold sheen and wasn't rusted at all.

Jiang Xu didn't say anything, but Jiang Ping, who was standing next to him, had already rushed over and snatched it from Jiang Xu's hand.

He turned to look at him, and Jiang Ping had already given him a reason for doing so: "This is Uncle Mian's communicator."

Lin An had arrived by then, looking at Jiang Ping with a serious expression, and held out his hand, saying, "Let me see."

He remembered that when he was a child, he was caught stealing Jiang Mian's wallet and a mark was left on it.

After receiving the communicator from Jiang Ping, he quickly turned it to the mark in his memory. A shallow scratch lay there, with a lot of yellow sand stuck to it.

He reached out his other hand and wiped away the sand: "He really was down here."

Lin An's face held an indescribable emotion. If Jiang Mian had been here back then, why didn't they find anything when they came down?

What about Jiang Mian?

His face tightened at the thought.

Jiang Xu understood the expression on Lin An's face and immediately comforted him, "Uncle Lin, the most important thing now is to find Chong to fix the communicator."

"Is it broken?" Lin An patted the sand off the surface, then rubbed it on his body. After holding it up to his eyes, he said to himself, "Yeah, if it wasn't broken, it wouldn't have taken so many years to find its place."

When Jiang Xu actually brought Jiang Mian's things back to the Jiang family's old house, Zoran remained silent for a long time.

After Jiang Xu and the others left the study, they said to Lin An and Jiang Ping, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Jiang, please comfort our grandfather."

The most important thing now is to continue the investigation as soon as possible. Also, please tell Grandfather about our conjectures after he comes out.

Qiao reached out and grabbed Jiang Xu's arm, her expression grave: "Are you leaving?"

"Well, it's already quite late." He was worried that the female insect in his house would be concerned.

However, without him saying anything, Qiao had already read his expression. He looked at Jiang Xu with some surprise: "You two? Together?"

Didn't you say you didn't like it before?

How long has it been?

Jiang Xu fell silent for a moment, seemingly recalling the first time he visited the Jiang family. He raised his hand and took Qiao's hand, his voice gentle: "Father-in-law, he is really good."

Qiao stared at Jiang Xu's face for a long time before sighing, "Okay, I understand."

"Yes, thank you, Father." Jiang Xu's tone was full of sincerity.

Joe ruffled his hair: "You've grown up. You know how to cherish an insect now. Your female father is very pleased."

He just didn't expect that Jiang Xu would eventually fall in love with that insect. He knew how difficult it would be to live with a forced marriage.

But since his own child had said that, he had nothing to worry about.

"I'll tell your father that when you have time, you should take him home again. Your father and I should give him the gifts we owe our uncle."

This thing was originally prepared for Jiang Xu's partner.

"Hmm." Jiang Xu noticed that Jiang Cheng wasn't there today: "Father, did you go out of town?"

"No, there's a meeting tonight that requires his participation, and he's busy right now." Joe glanced at the study with the door tightly closed: "Your great-grandfather doesn't really concern himself with these things anymore."

Even your father couldn't bear to force him.

"Yes, I understand." Jiang Xu never blamed the couple. He knew it was difficult for them to be in the middle, given the Jiang family's tradition.

The identity of the female servant, Fei Na, was probably a way out they found for the original owner.

This already violates Jiang Mian's principles, and he is well aware of it.

Therefore, he knew that the original owner would not blame them, and might even be proud to have such a male and female father.

Qiao suddenly felt a pang of emotion, and her gaze toward Jiang Xu was filled with relief.

When Jiang Xu left the Jiang family, the moon was already high in the sky.

When they returned to the courtyard, only the lights in their house were still on on throughout the entire street.

He had just stepped off the aircraft when the door to the house opened, and he saw Fei in a bathrobe, exactly the same as when he left at noon that day.

"Welcome home, my lord."

Jiang Xu was facing Fei at the door and saw the starlight in his eyes, as beautiful as the stars.

A warm feeling washed over me: "Hmm, why aren't you asleep yet?"

He followed the female insect into the house.

Fei didn't answer that question; instead, he asked Jiang Xu, "Has the ruler eaten yet?"

Jiang Xu noticed the barely concealed excitement in his eyes, glanced at the kitchen out of the corner of his eye, and answered as the other party expected: "No."

"That's perfect, the food is still hot, let me bring it out for you."

Jiang Xu changed his shoes and walked into the kitchen, watching Fei take food out of the insulated box.

They looked incredibly careful, as if they were carrying something rare and precious.

He walked over to his side, glanced at the dishes on the stove: winter melon meatball soup, luncheon meat, and mixed vegetables: "You made so much?"

"Well, I made a little extra when I had nothing to do at night," Fei replied, pursing her lips somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Xu looked at his suffering lips and reached out to rescue them.

Fei was stunned by this action, and he looked at Jiang Xu in confusion.

Jiang Xu seemed oblivious to all this, and carried the largest bowl of winter melon meatball soup to the dining table.
