Ling Ran was already prepared for a protracted war. If he didn't agree today, he would come again tomorrow and would not give up until he agreed. Now that he suddenly agreed, this mission must be extraordinary. However, since the mission had come, he couldn't refuse it.

"It's a deal."

Tang Ganwen nodded, "It's a deal."

"Then tell me what the mission is!"

"I want you to investigate what exactly is in Huai County that attracted so many undercover agents from Country R. Even though the Heike clan has withdrawn, there must be other undercover agents left. Moreover, judging by the fact that the Heike clan took Professor Z away and intended to use him for their own purposes, the secrets of Huai County must be more valuable than Professor Z. Otherwise, why would Country R agree to the Heike clan's complete withdrawal for Professor Z's sake?"

Ling Ran cursed in his heart. He had already estimated the difficulty of the mission, but it was not so difficult. In his previous life, the R people were silent in Huai County, and they must have not completed their mission, and none of them were exposed. If it were not for the little girl, no one would have thought that there were R people in the small Huai County.

Now, if you give him this task, he may not be able to complete it in his lifetime.

Tang Ganwen understood just by looking at his expression, "If you feel you can't complete this task, you can take your application back."

Ling Ran stood at attention and saluted, "I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Ling Ran saluted solemnly on the surface, but in his heart he cursed the captain for being cunning and trying to provoke him. If he didn't accept the task, the whole team would know that he was a coward the next moment. If he didn't dare to accept a single investigation task, wouldn't those people he had challenged before come to challenge him every day?

Tang Ganwen waved his hand. "Okay, don't be so serious! You can accompany your girlfriend and complete the mission at the same time. How great is that?"

Ling Ran lowered his arm and glared at him, "Do you think Huai County and the capital are in the same place?"

Tang Ganwen paused, "Uh, you usually protect Professor Z, and you can investigate during the holidays. You accepted two missions at once, so there's no limit on when you can return to the team."

"real?"

Tang Ganwen nodded vigorously. "Really? I will only call you back if something major happens and the whole team needs to act together."

"I have a request."

"you say."

"Since the clues in Huai County may be from decades ago, I need to look up information, including those ancient books of yours."

Tang Ganwen thought about it and agreed, "Okay, go check it out!"

After saying that, he threw him a key.

Ling Ran took the key, turned around and left the office. Tang Ganwen looked at his back and smiled. Want to quit the army? Dream on! He had already looked through a lot of information, but he didn't find anything suspicious about Huai County.

Zhou Xiang came over here. Since Jiang Weihua had informed Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu chartered a minibus to pick him up at the station.

They first went to Zhima Hutong. Zhou Xiang felt that it would be too lonely for her to face the houses over there alone at night, so she got off the car at Zhima Hutong.

The only ones left were Zuo Heng and his men. Zhou Xiang specifically instructed Zuo Heng to send the two female security guards here to protect the eldest brother. If they felt that there were not enough people, he should ask those people to call their former teammates over.

Zuo Heng didn't know why she wanted a female security guard to protect her big brother, but she often had strange ideas, so he could only agree. It would be a good idea to recruit a few more security guards.

The minivan took the remaining people to the company, and Jiang Weihua took A Lian to have dinner in Zhima Hutong.

Xiao Gu quickly stopped the young master and said, "Sir, the chef is preparing dinner over there."

Jiang Weihua pulled his niece and said, "Think about it, come to my place for food and accommodation. Sister Zhao is tired too."

Zhou Xiang turned around and asked, "Are you ready?"

Jiang Weihua nodded.

"Okay then! I'll go to your side."

Zhou Xiang walked into the yard and said something to the blind lady, then pulled his older brother, who had put down his luggage, and said, "Brother, let's go to Senior Jiang's place! Come back tomorrow."

"Okay!" Zhou Niao was very straightforward and did whatever his sister said.

After the brother and sister left, the blind lady, Jin Chao and Wu Haotian just had to cook some noodles.

Here in Mianhua Hutong, the chef had indeed prepared dinner, pasta, and thoughtfully added some stir-fries.

Zhou Xiang was eating the sweet and sour noodles, thinking about the noodles with soybean paste, and then he looked at the chef who was obviously from Long country but was cooking Western food.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Master, can't you cook Dragon Country dishes?"

The chef shook his head.

"What a shame. Dragon Country has many cuisines, and each one tastes different. I'm drooling just thinking about it."

Zhou Xiang said this while smacking his lips. These noodles were really too sour.

The chef looked at Xiao Gu, who thought that they must be tired of Western food. How about, "Sir, should I switch the chef over there?"

Jiang Weihua waved his hand and said, "No, you should hire another chef who is good at home cooking."

Zhou Xiang stared at Jiang Weihua with his eyes wide open, unblinking, "Mr. Jiang, is your salary enough for you to squander like this?"

Jiang Weihua didn't care. "The old man has money. This chef is from there and gets paid there. Once a new chef is hired, this chef only needs to come over on weekends."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "I think you should ask Xiao Gu to go back and recruit a chef. Once you find one, just say you want to borrow one. This way you can save more money."

Jiang Weihua, "Yes! This is a good idea, Xiaogu, just do it this way, okay?"

Xiao Gu, whose mouth was shaped into an O in surprise, quickly responded, "Yes, sir."

What kind of person is Miss Zhou planning to teach the young master to be? He'll only try to trick the old man!

Zhou Xiang: Haha, let me learn about the NEO-3s.

After bewitching Senior Jiang to trick Chief Jiang, Zhou Xiang suddenly felt that the pasta tasted pretty good. Sour and sweet is my style.

After eating and washing up, Zhou Xiang went back to her private room to rest.

Classes start next Monday, and there are still three days left. She took advantage of the time to deal with the things that needed to be dealt with, such as the two letters from Old Lady Liu.

On the 18th, Friday, Zhou Xiang had breakfast in Mianhua Hutong, and then strolled to Zhima Hutong with his elder brother.

Thinking about the names of the alleys here, Zhou Xiang really felt down-to-earth.

The eldest brother went back to his own yard to find Brother Chao, and Zhou Xiang went to his aunt's place alone.

Old Mrs. Liu was strolling in the yard. My aunt and uncle had returned to school to report. As senior teachers, they were usually assigned to be class teachers, so there was a lot to do at the beginning of the school year.

Long Xin was organizing her textbooks and homework. When she saw her fourth sister coming, she thought she was looking for her to play!

Old Lady Liu raised her hand and nodded at her, "You are so old, but you still think about playing all day long."

After saying that, he took Zhou Xiang into the west room.

Long Xin stuck out her tongue behind her and went back to her room.

Zhou Xiang took the two yellowed envelopes given to her by Old Lady Liu. She suspected that if she used a little more force, the envelopes would be crushed to pieces.

The recipient's address on the envelope was Huaixian Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company, and the sender's address was just two words: Details Not Available.

Gently pulling out the photos and notes inside, the three photos were indeed as Old Lady Liu said.

There are two addresses, one in the provincial capital and the other is the Jiang family address in Beijing.

The handwriting seemed to be deliberately hidden, and each stroke was written like a primary school student's handwriting.
