Fortunately, we made it to the central open space without any major incident.

With a sudden sense of enlightenment, Jiang Xu glanced at the entrance of the passage and kicked a stone into the corner of the wall.

He only continued walking forward after the stone stopped rolling and landed on the side.

However, after walking a few steps, he noticed that all the insects had stopped and were looking straight ahead.

Jiang Xu followed the gaze and was suddenly startled.

In the light, the rock walls were covered with grotesque marks, and the ground was littered with bones. As the air circulated in the tunnel, a stench wafted over.

The air was stagnant, filled with the stench of decay that permeated Jiang Xu's lungs. Never before had the air smelled so foul as this time.

The smell was so strong that the air in my chest was being squeezed out, and my chest felt like it was about to explode. It was so uncomfortable that I felt like I couldn't breathe on my own at all.

He glanced at Bernd and Zoe and found that they looked even worse than he did.

"Ugh~" A different reaction appeared on Bernd's ugly face. He hurriedly walked behind him, leaning against the stone wall, unable to suppress the churning in his chest, wanting to vomit.

But he couldn't spit anything out.

Zoe was in slightly better shape than him, but her complexion was just as bad.

Bernd's voice broke the silence in the air, and Zoran seemed to come back to his senses, staggering back a step involuntarily.

Jiang Xu quickly stepped forward to support him.

Before he could say anything, Zoran looked at him, his finger trembling as he pointed to the mountain of bones in front of him and asked, "Is this the clue you were talking about regarding your great-grandfather?"

Jiang Xu was much calmer than all the other insects; he had actually guessed something before he came down.

I was a little shocked when I first saw it.

He nodded: "It's a clue about him, but not his insect body. I said my grandfather is alive and well."

He had barely finished speaking when Zoe, who was standing next to him, looked at him in shock.

What does it mean for a great-grandfather to be alive and well?

Hasn't the head of the Jiang family died many years ago?

Zoran steadied himself: "These..."

"These must be the insects that you only saw when you came down, and didn't see the body," Jiang Xu explained, then noticed that Zoran was forcefully pulling away from his grasp, so he let go.

He took out a handkerchief from his bag and, when he touched it and felt that it was still a little damp, he remembered wiping the sweat off the female insect in his house earlier.

But there wasn't much he could use right now, so he simply held the shield to his nose and walked toward the pile of bones.

The pungent smell on the tip of his nose was replaced by the scent of the female insect, and Jiang Xu's expression improved considerably.

He suspected that what he was looking for was inside this pile of things.

Jiang Xu turned to look at Zoe: "Grandpa, do you have... a handy tool?"

He turned to look at his surroundings: blue sky, white clouds, his office at the Jiang Group, and Jiang Mian, engrossed in revising documents.

He then met Jiang Mian's gaze as Jiang Mian looked over because of the noise. He was stunned, then raised his hand in disbelief to look at it, and looked around at the surroundings. He really was back!

How did you get back?

Before he could think any further, Jiang Mian grabbed his hand: "What's wrong with you!"

He looked Jiang Xu up and down until he saw that Jiang Xu was unharmed, then suddenly raised his hand and smacked him hard on the head: "You brat, what happened to you? You couldn't find him for two days and two nights."

"Grandpa!" Jiang Xu suddenly hugged Jiang Mian with delight, "Did I somehow find you?"

This time, when he suddenly traveled back in time, he truly experienced the entire time travel process.

It's amazing.

In the blink of an eye, you travel from one world to another.

Jiang Mian looked at him strangely, and he suddenly realized that something unusual might have happened to Jiang Xu.

He didn't hear the door open, but when he did, Jiang Xu was already in the office.

Moreover, the other person's face showed confusion and helplessness.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Mian walked to the sofa and sat down: "I've searched Jincheng thoroughly for the past two days and two nights."

None of your shady friends have ever seen you.

Jiang Xu was much more at ease speaking to Jiang Mian, and his tone was also much more relaxed: "Old Master."

Seeing the look in Jiang Mian's eyes, Jiang Xu continued to call out, "Jiang Mian."

"Looking for a beating?" Jiang Mian looked at his disrespectful grandson and was speechless.

"Your Excellency Jiang Mian!"

Jiang Mian paused, looking at Jiang Xu in surprise and disbelief, before getting back up from the sofa: "You went over there?"

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Xu confirmed that Jiang Mian of the Zerg was indeed the grandfather who had raised him for many years.

"Hmm." Jiang Xu looked at him, then suddenly smiled and called out, "Grandfather Xiong, you didn't tell me that your grandson is also named Jiang Xu."

Jiang Mian paused, still aware of everything that had happened to the other person, but his instinct made him unconsciously take a step back:

"Oh, really? It's probably been too long; I've forgotten."

"......" Jiang Xu knew that Jiang Mian was fooling him again.

"Alright, stop talking about that. Tell me properly, how did you get back?" When he returned that year, he was found to be in shock.

Several months had passed by the time he woke up.

The Zerg seemed like a long dream to him.

He remembered every single detail clearly.

After returning, he tried to find a way back, but he had no clue what to do. He had nothing, not even a single item that could prove he had stayed with the Zerg.

If word got out, people would think he was mentally ill.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door: "Mr. Jiang, are you calling me?"

The assistant's voice came from outside the door, and Jiang Xu suddenly had an indescribable feeling upon hearing the long-unheard voice.

"It's nothing," Jiang Mian replied to his assistant outside the door, then thought for a moment, "Let's go home and talk about it."

The assistant who had just left turned the corner and saw Jiang Mian followed by Jiang Xu.

Looking at the two of them in surprise: When did Chairman Jiang arrive?

The Yellow Sand Rift Valley in the western suburbs contains underground caves.

Zoran clearly saw Jiang Xu disappear from his sight, and by the time he reached out to grab him, the other person had completely vanished.

My hands completely missed.

Zoe strode forward, her slightly open mouth revealing the shock she felt.

"Grandfather Zoran, Jiang Xu... is gone?" He rubbed his eyes and stared again in the direction where Jiang Xu had disappeared.

What did he see?!

Zoran's eyes narrowed. He remembered Xiao Xu saying that there might be something he wanted here. His cold voice echoed in the cave: "Find it. Take everything you can, except the skeletons, back to the Jiang family."

There were too many skeletons for them to take with them or bury, so they had to leave them in the cave.
