Chapter 200 An Agreement is Reached, Zhizhi Angrily Storms the Military Region
"And what about you?" Zhizhi suddenly asked. "Will you be in danger?"
Jiang Yan was stunned; this was the first time someone had asked him such a question.
Everyone in the research institute looked up to him; he was their pillar. The country trusted him and hoped that he could lead everyone onto the path of revitalizing the nation through science and technology.
All the hopes of everyone weighed heavily on him, and he had long been accustomed to being everyone's support.
Even though he encountered many difficulties on his path of constantly breaking through technological barriers, he had long been accustomed to swallowing these high-pressure emotions and digesting them on his own.
He never tells anyone about his pain and stress.
He silently supported everyone as they moved forward; he couldn't fall down because he was everyone's pillar.
But the soft, cuddly little child in front of him suddenly asked him a question.
And you?
Are you in danger?
The little cub's gaze slowly shifted from his face to his wrist, where she had just bitten him, and where a lot of blood had been drawn and now a scab had formed.
Mom said that scabbing means it's getting better.
But the fact that a scab has formed doesn't mean it's no longer painful.
Zhizhi pursed her lips and lowered her head. "I bit you because I was rude. If I had known you were a good person, I wouldn't have bared my teeth at you. I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter... ...."
Jiang Yan remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "It doesn't hurt anymore, really."
He silently covered the wound on his left hand with his outstretched hand, but the layers of taut ointment on his right wrist were still visible.
Zhizhi stared for a while, then looked up at Jiang Yan.
"When Dad comes out, I'll take him to see you. As long as you don't hurt our family anymore, I'll give you candy when you're old. If you fall asleep, I'll take my brothers to dig a hole and bury you. So please don't do anything bad, okay?"
She believes that her mother, if she were alive, would also want her to do the same.
She didn't have parents in her past life, and she knows how lonely it is to have no relatives.
Where is Jiang Yan?
When he gets old, he won't have a father or mother anymore, and at that time, I will be his only family.
As long as he doesn't do anything to hurt his father, he can overlook the things his father said to him before, accusing him of being rude.
She could reluctantly become his family.
While Jiang Yan was stunned, the little cub jumped off the car in a panic.
This was the first time she had ever said something so emotional; it gave her goosebumps.
How awful! She softened her heart again!
Zhizhi stomped her foot, no longer daring to look at Jiang Yan in the car, and ran into the military area.
Inside the car
Xiao Wu cautiously turned to look at him, "Engineer Jiang, you said you were going out to investigate spies today, so why did you go to see Zhizhi instead?"
“There is a bugging device in Zhizhi’s house.”
Jiang Yan opened his eyes, his expression cold and murderous. "We were targeted after our first contact with Zhizhi. They used the Jiang'an Chao family to try and drag me down with them."
Xiao Wu frowned, his expression turning serious. "Then what should we do?"
When Jiang Gong encounters technical difficulties in his studies, he is usually supervised by a designated person and confined to a specific base every day, living a life of going between three points: his workplace, the canteen, and his dormitory.
She is not even allowed to call her family.
We have only just overcome one of the difficulties and achieved results.
Those despicable people have their eyes on Engineer Jiang!
He was in charge of protecting Jiang Gong and was very familiar with the situation.
Previously, when Jiang Gong went out to search for his daughter and wife, he was even assassinated. This word sounds rare, but it really happened to him.
Xiao Wu thought about it and still felt it wouldn't work. "How about this, we take Zhizhi away and let her live at the base. There will be someone to take care of her so you can rest assured. If all else fails, we can bring all your family members over."
“She won’t want to. I just tried to take her away, and she reacted very strongly.”
Jiang Yan rejected his suggestion and quietly looked out the car window.
"I want to take her with me, but if she doesn't want to leave, there's no point in forcing her to stay..."
Rather than that, we might as well take this opportunity to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop...

Military region
"—Dad! Dad—!"
Zhizhi's tender voice echoed throughout the entire military region office building. Ji Yanjing was discussing countermeasures with the leadership team when he heard the child's voice and was so startled that he almost dropped his pen.
Yuan Tengzhen couldn't sit still any longer. "Why is Zhizhi here? We absolutely can't let the child see that her father is locked up!"
As he spoke, he tried to walk outside, stopping the child.
"etc."
Ji Yanjing stopped him, "I'll go."
He opened the door and waved to Zhizhi from the edge of the corridor.
"come over."
Zhizhi ran over and saw a room full of uncles and elders she knew, but her father was nowhere to be seen.
Where is Daddy?
Ji Yanjing glanced behind her and realized his wife hadn't followed. He then noticed the child's clothes...
"Didn't you come with your aunt?"
Zhizhi's eyes widened, feeling guilty as if she had been caught red-handed.
"That... this..."
Ji Yanjing saw right through the little girl's thoughts. He reached out and tugged at her clothes, slowly revealing his suspicions, "If I'm not mistaken, you're wearing Zhenwei's clothes, aren't you? Didn't your aunt tell you that children shouldn't run around alone? How did you get out here? Did you switch clothes with Zhenwei?"
The little cub pursed its lips, its big, dark grape-like eyes darting around, and finally, it gave its uncle a sheepish, ingratiating smile.
"Uncle... I used a little trick, please don't scold me."
The little cub quickly winked at Uncle Yuan for help.
Yuan Tengzhen coughed lightly, covering his mouth. "Well... since the child is already here, why don't we let her go see Jiang Anchao? After all, the execution order hasn't been issued yet, and we should still consider the family's right to visit."
"Yes, yes, I just want to see my dad once, Uncle, please make an exception?"
Ji Yanjing was amused by her words. "Go ahead, but promise your uncle that you have to come home with me after the meeting and you're not allowed to run around again."
"receive!"
Zhizhi excitedly took Uncle Yuan's hand, and the two of them went to find their father together.
Ji Yanjing shook his head helplessly and hurriedly went to his office to borrow Commander Tian's phone to call home.
"beep--!"
Su Xuetong answered the phone as soon as it rang.
"Hello?"
"Xuetong is me."
"Ah Jing? I was just looking for you. Zhenwei is missing. He said he had diarrhea and I've been waiting for ages."
Su Xuetong's voice was anxious; she had been so focused on keeping an eye on Zhizhi that she had been busy watching over her.
She was extremely worried when Zhenwei got lost while going to the toilet.
Ji Yanjing sighed helplessly, "Go look in Zhizhi's bedroom, Zhenwei is there."
"How could that be? I've been to Zhizhi's bedroom several times. She's in a bad mood and has fallen asleep. She refuses to come out for dinner."
"Why don't you lift the bed and take a look?"
As Su Xuetong listened to the prompts on the other end of the phone, her beautiful eyes furrowed slightly, somewhat confused.
After hanging up the phone, Su Xuetong quietly went into Zhizhi's bedroom and found Zhizhi lying comfortably on the bed.
Her little dress was completely ruined by the blankets.
Su Xuetong found it amusing and reached out to lift Zhizhi's bedsheets to tidy up her clothes.
"There's no way Zhenwei could be hiding in Zhizhi's bedroom. He said he was in bed, how could that be—"
Before she could finish speaking, the moment she lifted the blanket, 'Zhizhi' suddenly turned around.
There was a little boy with a buzz cut and fair skin, wearing a pink dress, and his hair was even tied up in two little braids with bows.
And this little boy was none other than Zhenwei, whom she was anxiously searching for.
Zhenwei blushed with embarrassment. He scratched his head sheepishly and whispered, "Uncle, Aunt..."
