The apprenticeship banquet was held at noon on the day of the ceremony.
Jue Lao received a phone call from the 61st Regiment.
After hanging up the phone, he was in no good mood and became unusually silent.
The three brothers present looked at each other in bewilderment.
Guo Ziming couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's wrong? Whose call was that?"
Old Jue took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Jingxing, the commander of the 61st Regiment, was poisoned. During a mission, the Japanese smeared the poison on their weapon and stabbed it into Jiang Jingxing's abdomen. The poison entered his body. The Union Hospital said there is no antidote for this poison and they want to invite me to come and study it together."
"Jiang Jingxing?" Xie Jin, the eldest disciple who had returned from Guangzhou last night, asked uncertainly, "Is he General Jiang's grandson?"
Ye Feixu, who hadn't reacted much before, raised his head when he heard Xie Jin's words.
Jiang Jingxing is a well-known name in the military region, and is hailed by the people of the military region as the invincible war god.
Because whatever task he takes on, no matter how dangerous, there is no failure, only perfect success.
He and Su Yu, who returned some time ago, are known for being fearless on the battlefield and turning into madmen the moment they see blood.
These two names are so famous that it's not uncommon for them, as disciples of Master Jue, to know their legends.
In particular, Jiang Jingxing is the grandson of General Jiang and the only son of the Jiang family.
In addition, he was highly capable and valued by his superiors.
If something happens to him, Beijing will likely descend into chaos.
Old Jue nodded. "The hospital said that Old Jiang is already waiting at the military region. I have to go there now."
"What about the apprenticeship banquet?" Guo Ziming asked.
"Is the apprenticeship banquet more important now, or is Jiang Jingxing more important?" Xie Jin said without thinking, "Does she not become Master's disciple if we don't hold this apprenticeship banquet? If she has any objections, it's probably because she's after Master's name, not because she genuinely wants to be Master's disciple. We're better off without a junior sister like that!"
"Senior Brother!"
"You bastard!"
Old Jue glared at Xie Jin, annoyed. "What nonsense are you spouting? Su Yan doesn't even know what happened, and we can't tell her about this!"
Guo Ziming, "Why?"
"Because Jiang Jingxing is your junior sister's boyfriend!"
The atmosphere instantly became so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Xie Jin was dumbfounded, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Jiang Jingxing is Junior Sister's boyfriend? Master, are you kidding me?!"
In a flash, Guo Ziming suddenly realized something and quickly asked, "What is the relationship between Su Yu and Su Yan?"
Jue Lao glanced at him and said, "Political Commissar Su is Su Yan's older brother; they are siblings."
Guo Ziming and Xie Jin exchanged a glance.
So it turns out my junior sister has quite a background.
"Back then, someone didn't want Political Commissar Su to live, so they poisoned him. It was your junior sister and I who worked together to research the antidote, which is how I saw her talent." After saying this, Elder Jue sighed, "This family seems to be obsessed with poison."
Guo Ziming and Xie Jin were speechless at this point.
Guo Ziming, in particular, had extremely mixed feelings.
"Ziming, you should cancel the apprenticeship banquet. Find an excuse to return to the guests, and then find another excuse to tell your junior sister. Don't let her suspect anything."
If Su Yan knew that Jiang Jingxing had gotten into trouble, she would probably be heartbroken.
Moreover, people at Union Hospital said that Political Commissar Su was the first to discover the problem.
Su Yu probably didn't want to tell Su Yan, otherwise Su Yan would have already found him as her master.
Guo Ziming was in a real bind.
His master thinks too highly of him.
Before he could speak, Jue Lao said, "I'm going to the military region now. You all go about your business."
Ye Feixu, who had been silent until now, stood up and said, "Master, I'll go with you."
Old Jue hesitated for a moment, "But your flight is tonight, don't you need to go back and pack your luggage?"
"It's alright. If it really is a poison without an antidote, I request to stay a little longer."
Ye Feixu is a research fanatic; he is extremely interested in all unsolved diseases and medicines.
Knowing his temperament, Master Jue nodded, "Alright, this is a good opportunity for your master to see if your medical skills have improved."
“Master, it’s fine for me to stay. I’ll go with you.” Xie Jin said.
Old Jue responded and quickly left.
Guo Ziming?
So he stayed behind to clean up the mess, right?
...
An hour later.
While still in the courtyard house, Su Yan first received a call from Guo Ziming, and shortly after, she received a call from Su Yu.
One explanation was that her master had an urgent matter that he couldn't avoid, so the apprenticeship banquet had to be temporarily canceled, and the time would be rescheduled after he finished his work. She was told not to worry about it.
One explanation was that something had happened at the military region and he couldn't come back for the time being, so she was asked to go find a branch store first.
Su Yan hung up the phone, feeling extremely depressed.
"What's going on? Have all these problems come up today?"
Li Juan, standing to the side, was quite philosophical about it. "Your master likes you so much, he must have had an emergency to cancel the apprenticeship banquet, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the other disciples to contact you."
In this situation, they're probably too anxious to even make a phone call.
Su Yan was certainly not dissatisfied with this, but she felt it was a bit sudden.
Moreover, her right eyelid has been twitching non-stop since last night.
Isn't it said that the left eye brings wealth and the right eye brings misfortune?
Could something bad be about to happen?
As she was thinking, she suddenly thought of Jiang Jingxing.
Jiang Jingxing should have known about her whereabouts in Beijing by now that his older brother has returned to the military region. Why hasn't he contacted her yet?
This is nothing like his usual style.
She picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Jingxing's office directly.
After waiting for a while, someone finally answered the call.
"Hello, this is Jiang Jingxing's office."
That's not his voice.
Su Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Hello, I'm Su Yan. I'd like to see Jiang Jingxing. Is he available?"
Suddenly there was no sound from the other end.
"Hello?" she asked again.
"Ah...it's sister-in-law! This is Wang Xiaoxin." Wang Xiaoxin swallowed nervously. "The regimental commander is in a meeting and won't be available for a while. I'll have him call you back after he finishes his meeting, okay?"
I don't know if it was just her imagination.
She always felt that Wang Xiaoxin's reaction was a little strange.
Su Yan frowned and asked, "Does he know I'm in Beijing?"
"Oh? I didn't know! Sister-in-law, have you come to Beijing?"
Upon hearing this answer, Su Yan's doubts deepened.
"Didn't you know my brother went back to the military region?"
The girl's voice was calm yet questioning.
Wang Xiaoxin, whose mind was in a daze, instantly snapped back to reality!
Thinking of what he had just said, he immediately slapped himself in the mouth!
He took a deep breath, trying not to give anything away. "Sister-in-law, the regimental commander was in meetings all day yesterday. He's been too busy lately. I haven't told him that the political commissar is back yet, so he doesn't know yet."
"Really?" Su Yan asked absentmindedly, then said, "I understand. I'll have him call me back when he's done with his work. Thank you."
