Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng looked at Niannian's behavior and said, "It's so late, why aren't you going home to sleep? Aren't you tired?"

"I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep in a bit. Fourth Sister, I haven't told you about my trip to Aunt Qing's yet, I'm sure I won't be able to sleep when I get back."

"You always seem to have so much energy."

"Am I young? Fourth Sister, my Little Gray really did find that kind of alien among the members of both teams. And it even ate too much." Niannian whispered in Yu Meng's ear.

"Can you find Little Grey?" Yu Meng was a little surprised, as she hadn't found any of her ordinary lines.

"Hmm, only this one works, the others don't." Niannian was a little confused. "I've fed them lots of good things too, so why is there such a big difference?"

"Where's Aunt Qing? Can she find her?"

Niannian shook her head. "I've already identified the person, and even after having her search for their outline again, she still couldn't find them." Her tone was a mix of disappointment and pride.

"Where's the alien? Did you get it out, or was it absorbed by your Little Gray?"

"Don't even mention it. Aunt Qing had already found a container to hold the alien, but Little Grey ate it all up, leaving not even the skin. But it said it was really delicious."

Niannian spoke with great enthusiasm. "Oh, right, Qian Chuan is here too. He said he also discovered a life form in the blood of those bone painters. He suspects it's also an alien, so he invited me to his lab tomorrow."

"I remember Aunt Qing saying there wouldn't be any problems, so how come there are aliens again?"

"Doubt? Not certain." Niannian emphasized again.

"Even Aunt Qing isn't sure?"

"Yes, he said Aunt Qing hasn't confirmed it yet."

Yu Meng remained silent for a long time before softly asking, "That thing was extracted from the blood of a Bone Painter. If it's an alien, then it proves it parasitizes the blood, and even the Bone Painter can't escape it. Are you sure you still want to go?"

"He mentioned all of that, but he said my little gray dog ​​is special, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Yu Meng grabbed Niannian's hand and pulled her forward. "Why did you trust him so much?"

"Oh, no? I'm not that familiar with him. I just think what he said makes a lot of sense, so sometimes I help him out."

"Silly sister, you think what he said makes sense because you're looking at it from his perspective. But what if you look at it from your own perspective? You're so young now. What if you were to be infected by one of these aliens? Would you want to become like them?"

Upon hearing this, Nian Nian quickly shook her head. "I don't want to become like that."

Yu Meng continued, "You don't want that, but then again, if he were in your shoes, he shouldn't have put you in such a dangerous place. Your Little Grey is a bit special, but not special enough to handle those unknown aliens."

Nian Nian stared blankly at Yu Meng, "I've never thought of that before. So, I won't go tomorrow?"

"I just want to know if Aunt Qing was with you when he said these things to you," Yu Meng said softly.

"Let me think. At that time, Aunt Qing was in front of that team member, and it seemed like Xiao Wen was saying something to her?" Niannian thought for a while before continuing.

Niannian was already quite clever, and she was stunned by Yu Meng's question. She looked at Yu Meng, "Is he plotting against me?"

"It's possible, but not certain. When you go tomorrow, find Aunt Qing first, then go to his lab with her and see what he has to say."

Niannian sat down on the table. "Fourth Sister, I can't sleep. Can I not go back tonight? I want to sleep with you."

Yu Meng knew that today's events had still frightened her. She analyzed Qian Chuan's motives again. Although they might not be true, they had created a barrier in her heart.

"Then I'll sleep here, but we've agreed, just for this one night. I prefer to be alone," Yu Meng said slowly.

Niannian jumped off the table. "I'm going to get some water to wash my feet, and then I'll go to sleep. I'm so sleepy!"

Sure enough, Nian Nian lay down on the bed and fell asleep instantly. Yu Meng shook her head helplessly, thinking, "If you want to sleep, just say so. Why go through all this trouble?"

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, when Niannian woke up, Yu Meng was gone. She touched her stomach; she had woken up because she was hungry.

Yu Meng sat in her office, looking at the person in front of her. "Secretary Wu, is there something you need so early?"

Secretary Wu was a little embarrassed. "The clan chief had something to discuss and asked me to bring him to you." After saying that, she stepped aside.

Jia Dao chuckled, "Teacher Yu, this is my fault. I didn't inform you beforehand. But things were a bit urgent, so I arrested Secretary Wu."

Yu Meng invited the person in, saying, "My office is too simple, please don't mind."

Jia Daoyi glanced around and realized he wasn't being modest; besides a desk, there were only a few chairs.

But since he was already inside, there was no reason for him to complain, so he pulled over a chair and sat down.

Secretary Wu hurriedly went over and brewed tea for them. During this time, Jia Daoyi watched Secretary Wu busy himself without saying a word.

Suddenly, Secretary Wu's voicemail rang, and it was a ringtone he had specially set.

He glanced at it and said, "It's Jingyi's." He then greeted Yu Meng and Jia Daoyi before leaving.

"Teacher Yu, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. My men have discovered that dense forest on the fourth battlefield," Jia Daoyi said directly after Secretary Wu left.

"Dense forest? The fourth battlefield?" Yu Meng asked in surprise.

"Absolutely no mistake." Jia Daoyi was certain. "We have a secret method to determine this."

"But my people are all operating on the front lines, how did it get so far away?"

"I can't answer that question either. What I do want to say is that there are living people coming out of that dense forest, and quite a few of them." Jia Daoyi suppressed his excitement.

"Is this information reliable? Where is the person? Have you caught him?" Yu Meng asked with a serious expression.

"So close! Those people are too cunning," Jia Daoyi sighed. "I heard the Fourth Battlefield has been sealed off; no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Yu Meng tapped the table with her finger; she had heard what Secretary Wu had just said. This was a bit tricky; with Jing Yi and Liu Wei, that was quite a few people.

"What are the clan chief's thoughts? Are you going?"

"If we had caught them at the beginning and interrogated them quickly, we might have gained a slight advantage. Now, we probably won't even get a taste of the spoils." Jia Daoyi's expression was grim.

Yu Meng glanced at him. He was just putting on an act in front of her. He couldn't do anything, so what was he doing here?

Yu Meng wasn't worried. Jingyi would definitely tell Secretary Wu what the Jia family patriarch knew. With Secretary Wu's sharp mind, he would surely have a solution, especially since there was still Hua Shulang on the fourth battlefield.

Seeing that Yu Meng didn't respond to his words, Jia Dao had no choice but to speak directly, "My family only has a small team over there. Now this opportunity is rare. If we can know some information about the inside of the dense forest, it will be a great advantage for them. Therefore, I would like to ask the people who came back that day to tell them about the situation."

Yu Meng understood what Jia Daoyi meant. She smiled and nodded, "We are family, so it's only right that we do these things."

Seeing that Yu Meng did not refuse, Jia Daoyi smiled and said, "Teacher Yu is so generous. Don't worry, if we discover anything, we'll share it." Jia Daoyi made a promise.
