Situ Zhenjiang heard his beloved granddaughter's words, but was sowhat amused.
Pair Killers, huh? She sure has wild ideas!
As a shrewd person, Situ Zhenjiang naturally understood his granddaughter's thoughts—she simply wanted to accompany Jiang Feng to develop their relationship.
Although he also wished to fulfill his granddaughter's wishes, he dared not make such a decision lightly.
Furthermore, this matter itself is not a child's play; it concerns national and military honor. Everything should be considered only after Jiang Feng goes over to assess the situation.
"No ssing around!"
Situ Zhenjiang glared at his granddaughter: "Xiao Feng is going there on serious business, not for fun. Just focus on your own work."
Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Situ Yan could only pout helplessly.
Situ Zhenjiang then earnestly addressed Jiang Feng: "Xiao Feng, are you able to leave now? I can make arrangents here and send you to the Western Border imdiately."
Jiang Feng thought for a mont, stood up, and said, "I'll make a phone call!"
After saying this, Jiang Feng walked out.
Leaving Situ Yan standing there, slightly aggrieved, she glared at Situ Zhenjiang: "Grandpa, you asked to bring Jiang Feng here. I did, but at the crucial mont, you didn't give a chance?"
Situ Zhenjiang shook his head: "Child, even if you want to go, now is not the ti. I don't even know the specifics of the situation over there. It's not a place for romance—let Xiao Feng assess it first. If support is truly needed, I will send you there, and there will be opportunities then."
Situ Yan was finally left without words, and could only sigh quietly.
Outside, Jiang Feng also made a call to Nangong Qingcheng, informing her that he needed to leave the city unexpectedly and assuring her not to worry.
Nangong Qingcheng was surprised, not expecting Jiang Feng to leave at such a critical mont when their family was facing a lawsuit over a car accident. He was truly letting things go!
However, on second thought, given what Zhao Chunhua did to Jiang Feng today, it was only right for Jiang Feng to stand aside, to avoid trouble.
"Jiang Feng, your leaving this ti, is it related to that pretty officer, Situ Yan? Did she keep you behind for this reason?"
A woman's intuition is indeed sharp, as Nangong Qingcheng asked perceptively.
"No, it's the military asking for a small favor. I'll be back soon; you don't need to worry," Jiang Feng said, pretending to be calm.
"The military?"
Nangong Qingcheng was even more surprised upon hearing this. Why did Jiang Feng suddenly have dealings with the military? Was it dangerous?
"Don't worry, it's just a small task. I know what to do, and I'll be back soon." Sensing Nangong Qingcheng's concerns, Jiang Feng continued.
Nangong Qingcheng hesitated, knowing she couldn't change Jiang Feng's decision, so she said, "Alright, just co back quickly, I'll... be waiting for you at ho."
"Mm." Jiang Feng felt a touch of emotion in his heart, promised, and hung up the phone.
Then, he returned to Situ Zhenjiang's office and said: "Make the arrangents!"
...
As Situ Zhenjiang mobilized a helicopter to promptly send Jiang Feng to the Western Border.
In the Provincial City, at the Dugu Family Castle.
Housekeeper Dugu Mao was standing before Dugu Jinhong, reporting all the findings from the investigation.
"Old Master, that's how it is! Young Master Jian's car was found near a place called Tianquan Farm in Binhai, already wrecked, with signs of external force used to break the windows. As for Young Master Jian himself... I searched the area around that farm for over ten miles, but found nothing; it's as if he vanished into thin air!"
"I found the owner of that farm and personally interrogated him. However, the owner claid never to have seen Young Master Jian. They had a private engagent party last night, so the owner and staff were cleared out after serving the dishes. He doesn't know what happened."
"And what about Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute? Did they actually perish in Binhai? Even if they might disapprove of Xiao Jian, they wouldn't leave him to die, right? Are there no signs of them at the scene?" Dugu Jinhong asked angrily!
"No!"
Dugu Mao shook his head: "That's where the mystery lies! There are indeed no traces of Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute at the site; it's as if they vanished into thin air along with Young Master Jian! I gathered all the surveillance footage and confird they appeared last night en route to that farm, but what actually happened there is unknown, as there are no caras around the farm itself..."
"Why did Xiao Jian go to Binhai without confronting Jiang Feng, and instead ended up at a farm? Was Jiang Feng there too?" Dugu Jinhong was furious!
"It seems so. The farm owner confessed that the protagonists of the engagent party were a couple nad Nangong Yan and Jin Shixiang, the sa couple that attended on our Young Master's injury previously!"
Dugu Mao paused briefly, then continued: "They're relatives of Jiang Feng! I speculate that Young Master Jian must have used the engagent party as a guise to lure Jiang Feng out, choosing the countryside for action, but sothing unforeseeable happened..."
"Useless! Those two incompetent fools, I should have crushed them in the Provincial City earlier!"
Dugu Jinhong snarled: "Where are they now? Can they be found?"
"Old Master, it's indeed strange. Last night, those two were in a car accident, both dying instantly! Moreover, Jiang Feng didn't do it; it's said to be an out-of-town Steyr truck." Dugu Mao reported cautiously.
"Nonsense! It's a cover-up!!" Dugu Jinhong couldn't sit still anymore, leaping to his feet.
"Old Master, please calm down! It appears that it really wasn't like that! According to the latest intelligence, it was truly just an accidental traffic accident. Even Binhai's action departnt intervened this morning and determined the responsibility, so it can be ruled out that Jiang Feng acted; those two crossed the lane themselves, ran a red light in last night's heavy rain, and got killed..."
"Who believes that!"
Dugu Jinhong squinted his eyes: "According to the whole picture, do you believe this has nothing to do with Jiang Feng? The disappearance of Xiao Jian and Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute, and the deaths of those two fools must be controlled by Jiang Feng from behind the scenes. It's just that Binhai's action departnt is protecting him, cooperating flawlessly!"
"Old Master, if that's truly the case, Jiang Feng is a terrifying enemy!"
Dugu Mao shuddered: "Not only could he eliminate Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute, but he could also destroy the evidence; such ans are impressive. Why would Young Master Jian provoke such a person?"
"It's too late to worry now!"
Dugu Jinhong's body emanated a terrifying Killing Aura: "I never expected a re twenty-sothing young man could beco the most formidable adversary the Dugu Family has ever faced. We are already at odds!"
He squinted his eyes, and the Killing Aura intensified: "It seems I need to personally go to Dragon Tiger Gorge and invite that ultimate backup out!"
