Xia Miao and the others were sitting on the corner sofa, excitedly telling Huo Yushen about their "adventure" of entering the time node.
After the danger, all that remains are those incredible experiences.
Even Xia Yuanfang went against his usual behavior and hurried back to his laboratory to do experiments without finishing his meal.
Instead, he sat with Qin Wanglan and the others, chatting about topics that they were familiar with.
Xia Chujian was very happy watching this scene.
This is the life she wants!
Such beautiful times are usually short-lived...
As soon as this thought flashed through Xia Chujian's mind, her quantum optical brain watch carrier began to beep.
She looked down and saw that it was a video call invitation from Su Buyan.
Xia Chujian was in even happier mood.
After taking a look at the messy yet bustling living room, she left with a smile.
Go to the small room opposite the living room and accept the video call invitation.
She closed the door, sat with her back to the floor-to-ceiling window, and stretched her legs.
The row of small rooms opposite the living room are various functional rooms and guest rooms.
Facing the beautiful, quiet and flowery night in the backyard.
The virtual display lights up.
Xia Chujian did not use a virtual background, but instead reflected the scenery of the backyard.
Su Buyan's avatar appeared on the virtual display screen.
He didn't use a virtual background either, it was just the scene in his room.
But it looks like it is not his bedroom, but a place like a study.
Because his background is dove gray walls and wall-high walnut bookcases filled with densely packed books.
Diagonally below the background, you can even see a movable mahogany ladder that can be used to reach the books on the upper shelves of the bookcase.
Xia Chujian smiled and greeted, "Good evening, Master! Have you eaten?"
Su Buyan's serious expression suddenly broke.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I ate it, but it wasn't very good."
"What did you have for dinner?"
Xia Chujian was about to talk about his dinner excitedly when he heard a slight cough coming from the virtual display screen.
Xia Chujian felt that there must be someone else beside Su Buyan.
She asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Su Buyan could only cough lightly and said, "First meeting, actually it's not me who wants to find you, it's this person who wants to find you."
As he spoke, he pulled a person into the camera range.
When Xia Chu saw it, it turned out to be Zong Ruoning!
It's been a long time since we last met. Zong Ruoning looked a little abnormally excited at the moment.
His cold white skin showed a sickly blush, but his dark circles were very serious.
My hair is dull and a bit tangled.
His eyes were bright, unusually bright.
Xia Chujian hurriedly greeted: "Hello, Young Master Zong!"
She has graduated now and feels embarrassed to call Zong Ruoning "teacher" anymore, so she changed her address.
Zong Ruoning didn't care about these things. He took a deep breath and said, "Lieutenant General Xia, we are all acquaintances. I won't waste my time with you."
"Something happened at my home. I would like to ask Lieutenant General Xia for a favor. Come with me to a place."
Xia Chujian became even more curious.
If something happened to Zong, why would she be invited to go to a place?
What does it have to do with her if something happens to the Zong family?
Moreover, Zong Ruoning didn't even call her by her name, but directly called her by her rank. It seemed that this wasn't a favor from an acquaintance, but rather a roundabout way of asking for favors...
She was subconsciously reluctant.
But on second thought, considering the help Zong Ruoning and Zong Ruoan had given her in the past, as well as the great help that Grandpa Zong had given her in the war against the Zerg, she still felt that she should help if she could.
She smiled and said, "Mr. Zong, you're welcome! But I'm just an ordinary person. How can I help you?"
Su Buyan said from the side: "Ruoning, when you talk to Chu Jian, be direct, don't beat around the bush."
Then he said to Xia Chujian: "Chujian, if you can help, help once, if you can't, forget it."
"I promise that the Zong family will not be dissatisfied with you because of this."
"Besides, they won't let you help for free, right, Ruoning?"
Zong Ruoning said quickly, "That's for sure."
"We are willing to offer a villa in the heart of the imperial capital, fifty kilograms of gold, and one billion Beichen coins in cash. Lieutenant General Xia, please help us this time!"
"If you succeed, the reward will be tripled!"
"If you fail, I'll still give you double the reward when you come back!"
Hearing this, Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes.
When you give someone a gift, you must have something in mind.
The gift is so great, and the request is even greater!
Xia Chujian asked suspiciously, "...then is this matter very dangerous?"
"Is there any danger to life?"
