Cough, cough!
Zhong Yan coughed lightly and nodded very seriously: "I'm naturally cold-hearted and don't easily trust others. Mr. Jiang, if you have nothing else to say..."
Jiang Xiaochen, with a wistful expression, hooked her chin and said, "I will make you believe me! Also, I came to see you about something else."
Zhong Yan: "..."
When he comes to see her, it's usually not for anything good.
However, on second thought, perhaps I also need his help with something. Besides, Jiang Xiaochen probably isn't entirely satisfied with the last case!
Seeing her fox-like eyes, Jiang Xiaochen smiled slightly: "What do you want to say? Zhong Yan, you don't have to feel guilty here. You can say anything."
His gaze fell on her face, filled with a hint of doting and indulgence. He had gone back home on a mission these past few days; otherwise, he would have rushed to her house to find her long ago.
Zhong Yan felt uncomfortable under his tone and spoke quickly: "If you want me to say it, then I'll be blunt! There was something fishy about Zhou Tianhua's case last time, and I hope you can continue to investigate. In addition, we also need to send some people to the Celestial Masters Sect and Tiger Mountain. Otherwise..."
“We’re telepathic.” Jiang Xiaochen shamelessly threw out a few words: “Zhong Yan, I knew it! We must be telepathic! What I wanted to tell you is about this case.”
“I…” Zhong Yan was speechless, momentarily at a loss for words! Thinking about it, it makes sense. Zhou Tianhua had already spread the news, and they had even come to Yunjiang City and collected so many souls. It would be strange if they hadn’t made any discoveries.
Jiang Xiaochen excitedly moved closer to her: "See, I told you, we're a match made in heaven! And, you know, I might really need your help again with this matter."
Zhong Yan fell silent. Seeing his eager expression, could she say that she deeply regretted it?
Jiang Xiaochen is not the kind of person who gives others a chance to regret things, especially when it comes to his beloved. He knows very well that Zhong Yan is as cunning as a tortoise, and if he is not careful, she will retreat into her shell.
All he could do was hold her hand tightly.
“Listen to me, we really need your help this time! I received a message these past few days that in Xiangji Village, fifty miles away, everyone in the village disappeared overnight.”
"Gone?" Zhong Yan's expression changed slightly, and she didn't dare to be careless: "What happened? Explain it clearly."
"To be specific, this matter has been going on for some time. Some people in the township, eager for credit, suppressed the news of the villagers' disappearance. By the time it was discovered, it was too late! Now, the area is shrouded in fog, and every night, you can still hear the screams of those wronged souls." Jiang Xiaochen spoke simply, but in reality, he felt very troubled. He was also stunned when he first received the news.
I never expected someone would do such a thing.
Zhong Yan's expression turned slightly grave: "I'm afraid it's not fog, but miasma. Those people are probably all dead inside, but what's the reason?"
Jiang Xiaochen turned to look at her: "We're still investigating. Don't worry, I'll find out the truth as quickly as possible. However, based on some information we've gathered from the interrogation, it's related to Zhou Tianhua. So, I think we might need to trouble you again!"
He didn't actually want to involve her in these things.
