On the WeChat chat interface, the last message between Ying Qiao and Jiang Lan was from Friday afternoon. He had made an appointment with Jiang Lan to go out for dinner that night, but Jiang Lan suddenly sent him a message in the afternoon, saying that he had to go to Nancheng to attend a very important exchange meeting on behalf of Director Cheng. So the date in the evening was naturally ruined.
After Jiang Lan sent that message of explanation, there was no further reply. The last message on the chat interface was sent by Ying Qiao himself.
But now on the latest chat interface, his boyfriend, who had been out of touch for two days, finally sent him a message.
Ying Qiao glanced at the message and typed with his paws in an unskilled manner: [I went on a one-day business trip with my boss yesterday, and I was checking the injury on my tail this morning.]
His claws were not as flexible as his fingers, so he typed slowly. Chen Hua, who was applying oil to his scales, accidentally glanced at the content of the message. His teeth ached and he cursed in his heart that the message was shameless.
The night before, Tai Feng tracked down the exact location of Long Bing’s twin brother Long Yi, so Ying Qiao went with him to investigate the situation. Long Yi was hiding in a small hotel that didn’t require ID registration. He didn’t go out, nor did he contact anyone else. He stayed in the hotel room honestly. They watched for a day and a night and seeing that Long Yi didn’t move for the time being, they called someone else to continue watching, and they returned first.
As a result, not long after they came back last night, they heard that there was an accident in Nancheng. Fortunately, the situation was brought under control in time and did not cause panic among ordinary people or too many casualties.
In addition, Bi’an and Taotie also captured members of the organization that were in collusion with Long Bing, which finally provided a breakthrough in the problem that had been bothering them.
Tai Feng told them that after Bi’an had finished dealing with matters related to Nancheng, he should bring the four monsters back to Jiangcheng.
——As early as when Suan Yu appeared, Tai Feng suspected that there might not be just one or two demons behind the recent events. It was more likely that a group of people or an organization was planning a conspiracy.
The four monsters captured by Bi’an and Taotie in Nancheng had confirmed Tai Feng’s guess, so after Bi’an took them back to the bureau, they would definitely go to the bureau as well.
At that time, the meeting with Bi’an and Taotie would be inevitable.
Ying Qiao had been feeling unhappy ever since he had a fight with Bi’an last time, not to mention that his most disliked Taotie would also be there, so he went to Chen Hua early in the morning to do some scale and feather care for himself.
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Chen Hua had worked with him for so many years that he had already figured out his little thoughts clearly.
This guy took great pains to dress himself up to look glamorous and beautiful, obviously intending to outshine others.
Maybe he would also be asked to take some photos of him and Taotie and Bi’an from different angles. He must look tall and handsome, while Taotie and Bi’an must be short! Poke! Ugly!
Such a big dragon, but his mind was as small as the tip of a needle.
Moreover, he had recently mastered the skill of playing the victim. He was clearly here for a spa, but he lied to Jiang Lan and said he was here to check his injuries.
The minor wound on the tail had clearly healed, and new scales were almost growing out, yet he still had to go back for a checkup!
He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.
Chen Hua wondered for the 10086th time, why could someone like Ying Qiao find a partner, but he couldn’t?
Was it because he was not doing enough?
When Jiang Lan heard that Ying Qiao had gone on a business trip despite his injury, his brows knitted together. He wanted to go see him, but when he thought of the pile of unfinished business on his hands, he could only put aside his worries for the time being and comfort him: [I will come to see you when I am done with my work, you should stay at home and take good care of your injuries. 030]
Ying Qiao wagged his tail and replied very considerately: [You should focus on your work first, don’t worry about me, my injury is not serious.]
Chen Hua: …
These words are full of tea flavor, I suggest beating him to death.
Jiang Lan put away his phone and went to have breakfast. After Zhang Tianxing called him, he drove to the company to pick up the three kids and bring them home.
Ever since revealing their true identities in front of Zhang Tianxing last night, Suan Ni and Jiao Tu had completely lost their scruples and had let themselves go.
Suan Ni was lying on the passenger seat with his belly spread out, surrounded by bags of snacks – before, Zhang Tianxing was always worried that he would eat too much, but now that he knew his true identity, he could eat snacks as much as he wanted.
Jiao Tu and Jiang Chi sat in the back row. Jiao Tu piled a handful of gems of different colors on the seat, then climbed out of his shell, took the gems and carefully measured them on the shell, preparing to replace his shell with a new set of gems.
Jiang Chi acted as an advisor on the side. After Jiao Tu matched several gems, he would ask for his opinion.
Zhang Tianxing was even able to ignore this kind of small scene. He sealed the snacks that Suan Ni had not finished eating, put them into a bag and handed it to Jiang Lan.
The corners of Jiang Lan’s mouth twitched, and he wondered what was wrong with those kids. They didn’t consider themselves outsiders at all and let themselves go like that.
He carried Suan Ni out and moved it to his own car. Only then did Jiao Tu put away the gems and was carried by Jiang Chi from one car to another.
After thanking Zhang Tianxing and confirming that Xue Meng and the others were all fine, Jiang Lan drove home with peace of mind.
After returning home and ordering takeout for the kids, Jiang Lan went to wash and change his clothes.
He soaked in the water for a long time last night, and when he came back today he felt a fishy smell lingering on his body.
After cleaning himself up carefully, Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment and finally changed into the suit that his fourth brother bought for him.
The off-white suit was casual in style, formal enough without being too dull or old-fashioned, and came with matching crystal cuffs and tie clip.
Jiang Lan dressed himself unskillfully, looked in the mirror, and then imitated his elder brother by combing the loose hair on his forehead back, revealing his superior features.
Suan Ni was squatting on the sofa and watching with great interest, but when Jiang Lan combed the hair on his forehead to the back of his head and glanced at him casually, his foot slipped and he almost fell down.
He barely grabbed the back of the sofa, climbed up again and squatted, muttering: “Fifth brother, don’t imitate the eldest brother, it’s scary!”
It gave him a big scare!
“Does it look like that?” Jiang Lan glanced at himself in the mirror. He did look much more imposing than usual. Especially when he wasn’t smiling, he did look a bit like the eldest brother, cold and noble.
No wonder people always liked to say that clothes make the man and gold makes the Buddha.
Jiang Lan tried hard to squint his slightly round eyes, thinking that if his eyes were a little longer and more raised, he would look more like his elder brother and have a more imposing appearance.
How come he didn’t have the aura of a ferocious beast at all?
It was very infuriating.
He thought about it, then took out the Patek Philippe watch that his eldest brother had given him and put it on. Now all the equipment was complete. He looked in the mirror with satisfaction and prepared to call his fourth brother before going to the bureau.
But before he could make the call, he saw the emergency text message sent by the Monster Management Bureau. The text message was written in eye-catching red font:
[Detected a high-risk monster fighting near Taizi Lake! Detected a high-risk monster fighting near Taizi Lake! The fighting is spreading, all nearby Monster Management Bureau members are asked to rush to support immediately! Unrelated monsters please avoid as soon as possible! To avoid danger!]
Jiang Lan’s expression froze, and he didn’t have time to think about what had happened. After hurriedly instructing Jiang Chi, he took Suan Ni and Jiao Tu and hurried to Taizi Lake.
Level One Alert was the highest level of warning issued by the Monster Management Bureau. It was rarely issued on weekdays. At least in the more than one year since Jiang Lan joined the Monster Management Bureau, he had never seen a Level Two Alert, let alone a Level One Alert.
Once the first-level alert was activated, all the demons near the scene must rush to support as soon as possible. And the first-level alert was not only for the staff working in the Demon Management Bureau, even the big demons like Suan Ni and Jiao Tu who had registered their identities and records in the Demon Management Bureau must rush to support as soon as possible.
This was enough to prove the urgency of the situation.
….
Taizi Lake was located in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, at the junction of Jiangcheng and Nancheng.
After Linghe River flowed out of the southern city, it merged into the main trunk of the Yangtze River, and the main stream flowed through Jiangcheng. The two tributaries converged in the low-lying area to form the current Taizi Lake.
The area around Taizi Lake was mainly large tracts of farmland, with only a few scattered villages embedded in the vast farmland, and the population was very sparse.
So no one noticed that a huge black dragon had landed in the field, its hind claws sinking deep into the mud, and its huge bat wings spread out behind it, ready to flap and take off at any moment.
Opposite him, the hem of Nüba’s skirt moved without wind, and scorching flames emanated from the ground she stepped on. The temperature around her was rising rapidly, and even the air was slightly distorted. The water of Taizi Lake nearby was churning, and wisps of hot steam were rising from the surface of the water.
The young man in green who was hiding in the lake was grimacing due to the burns, and he crawled to the shore dragging the bronze tripod.
But when he got ashore, his situation became even more awkward – he was right between the Black Dragon and Nüba. As soon as he got ashore, both of them looked at him fiercely, with a look of determination in their eyes.
The young man had a sad face and shrank his shoulders cowardly.
He thought that nothing good would happen if he met a dragon. The last time he was kidnapped and locked up, it was also done by a dragon.
At that time, he had not yet cultivated his spiritual body and only had a trace of ignorant spiritual consciousness. He only remembered that he had been soaking in the Si River for many years. The emperor of the Qin Dynasty finally unified the country and sent people to rescue him from the Si River. Just when he thought he would be sent to the palace to be worshipped and live a comfortable life of lying down and practicing with the luck of a country behind him, a dragon suddenly appeared and abducted him.
They even locked him in a cave with a bunch of tacky gold and silver jewelry.
If he hadn’t worked so hard to cultivate a spirit and escape, who knows how many years he would have been imprisoned!
With the previous experience as a lesson, he had carefully hidden his true body after escaping. However, there was something wrong with his true body, and it seemed that it gave birth to more than one spirit body. He could vaguely feel that there was another chaotic consciousness in his true body.
Later, when he was walking in the human world, he heard that humans gave birth to twins, so he suspected that the other chaotic consciousness was his twin brother. However, this brother might not have practiced hard and was a little stupid.
Often when he wasn’t paying attention, he would control his main body and run away!
In order not to lose his idiot brother and his true body, he was almost worried to death. He had to find a secret place to hide his true body every few dozen or even hundreds of years.
Everything had been going peacefully before, but recently a group of people suddenly appeared looking for his body. He had a bad feeling, so he quickly moved to another place and buried his body under the Ling River.
But sometimes when people were unlucky, even drinking cold water would get stuck in their teeth.
When he was hiding his true body, he made too much noise and accidentally revealed his tracks. Before he could find a chance to move his true body, the people who were looking for him came after him.
There was also a strange woman in that group of people. She was standing on the river and singing. After hearing a few words, the fool brother became agitated. If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough to hold down the real body, his fool brother would have rushed out with the real body!
Maybe he would then be locked up for hundreds of years in vain!
