Why did you provoke me?

The next morning, the two sisters, Yuxia and Yuhong, arrived at Jingchuan Guild Hall early.

Secretary Wu looked at the two young girls in front of him. "That's a ward; people can't just walk in."

"We're not going in? Who will take care of my little cousin then? Your people? Can they take good care of him?" Yuxia had a somewhat fiery personality.

Secretary Wu patiently explained, "That's a ward. It needs to be sterile. If you go in like this and bring bacteria in, and the patient's condition worsens, can you take responsibility?"

"But you can't just keep us from seeing him, can you? We just need to take a look and find out how he is now," Yu Hong chimed in.

Secretary Wu sized up the girl. "It was your Butler Han who personally begged us to come here. This is a guild hall, not a clinic." The implication was that he didn't believe her; Butler Han wouldn't have sent her here.

"Secretary Wu, we'll just take a look. We won't cause you any trouble," Yu Hong quickly explained, sensing the impatience in Secretary Wu's tone.

Secretary Wu waved his hand. "Things over there are not my responsibility. It's no use begging me. That's Qian Chuan's territory."

Just then, a small head poked in from the doorway. "Grandpa Wu, my third grandpa wants to see you. He says he has something to discuss."

"Okay, we'll go together in a bit." Secretary Wu looked in Xiao Hao's direction and nodded with a smile.

Secretary Wu looked at the two sisters. "I'm very busy here. If you want to visit the young master, you can ask Qian Chuan."

Secretary Wu had already stood up. The two sisters looked at each other and had no choice but to follow Secretary Wu out of his office.

As they stepped out of the room, Secretary Wu pointed in a direction. "That road leads to the wards. Qian Chuan should be there. Go ask him."

"Thank you, Secretary Wu," Yu Hong said hurriedly.

Watching the two leave, Secretary Wu recalled their criticism and dissatisfaction when they first arrived yesterday, and shook his head.

Secretary Wu stopped paying attention to them and went directly with Xiao Hao to Nangong Tianshou's tea room, a tea room for one person.

Nangong Tianshou heard the sound of the door opening and looked up.

I thought you would come to my place first thing this morning.

Secretary Wu sat down in the chair opposite Nangong Tianshou. "Last night, the young master of the Marquis family in Kyoto came here. I need to make some arrangements."

"The Hou family of Kyoto?" Nangong Tianshou glanced at him and asked casually.

"Yes, it's the Hou family of Kyoto. The young master who was implanted with a mutated creature," Secretary Wu explained briefly.

Nangong Tianshou gripped his teacup tightly. "An alien species, like me, created by humans?"

Secretary Wu nodded. "His time was short. Teacher Qing checked and said that they hadn't yet devoured each other, so it would be easy to remove them."

Nangong Tianshou put his teacup down again. "The communication bell in his hand was stolen."

"Um."

Nangong Tianshou chuckled. "You're really kind. You go to such lengths to treat someone who's causing trouble."

Secretary Wu did not answer, but simply reached out and poured himself a cup of tea.

"As you know, Teacher Yu doesn't show off many of his things, but he has one in his possession."

Nangong Tianshou could only sigh. He had dealt with Yu Meng for so long, yet he hadn't gotten a single thing out of her; what a failure.

After a long while, he finally asked, "How is that person now? Has he leaked the information about the communication bell?"

"Qian Chuan has already sent word that he has woken up, but he cannot get out of bed yet. I haven't asked about this yet."

Nangong Tianshou stood up. "Let's go over there."

"Now?" Secretary Wu remained seated. "He just woke up, and he's very weak. If you stand in front of his bed with that imposing aura, he'll faint again."

"What a hassle." Nangong Tianshou sat down impatiently.

"You asked Xiao Hao to contact me just for this?" Secretary Wu calmly sipped his tea.

"I wanted you to investigate who stole the telepathic message."

"Butler Han said he's a spoiled brat from the Song family, one of the top families in Kyoto."

Nangong Tianshou frowned. "A playboy? Did he really say that?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Secretary Wu asked, looking puzzled.

"Yes, of course. Do you think just anyone can be called a playboy? As a playboy, he would never mess with the heir apparent of a top-tier family like the Hou family. They're all shrewd."

Secretary Wu put down his teacup. "You mean, there's someone behind him." He paused, then continued, "The only person capable of directing top-tier families isn't Yin..."

Nangong Tianshou nodded. "Could you tell me which reclusive family it is?"

"We'll have to check, it'll take time." Secretary Wu didn't say that they couldn't find it.

He could have asked Butler Han, but he didn't want to.

"Old Wu, do you think this kind of alien parasitism could be the work of one person?" Nangong Tianshou asked in a low voice.

Secretary Wu narrowed his eyes. "Really?"

"Why not? She must have a way to lead the aliens to the back. This is a method that not every bone painter can do." Nangong Tianshou said with great certainty.

He then slumped back in his chair, deflated. "What good will it do to know?"

"Third Grandpa, here's your honey." Xiao Hao walked over with a small jar in his hand.

Secretary Wu took it without hesitation, exclaiming, "My little Hao is just so well-behaved!"

Without warning, a loud rumbling sound rang out outside.

Secretary Wu didn't care about anything else. She pushed Xiao Hao onto Nangong Tianshou and said, "Keep an eye on him." Then she turned and ran out.

While running, Secretary Wu texted Jing Er, "What happened? It sounds like an earthquake!"

Jing Er replied after a while: "Teacher Yu's secluded house has collapsed."

"What? Is Teacher Yu alright? How could the house collapse?" Secretary Wu wished he had two more legs.

"Teacher Yu is fine," Jing Er replied.

……

Yu Meng stood on the eaves of another house, her throat bobbing. She hadn't done anything, so how did it collapse?

Jing'er and the other three officers on duty arrived quickly. "Teacher Yu, are you alright? Should I call Qian Chuan over?"

"It's nothing." After saying those two words, she didn't know what else to say.

Secretary Wu rushed over, covered in sweat, "How is he? Is he injured?"

Jing Er subtly pointed to the eaves, and only then did Secretary Wu see Yu Meng.

"Teacher Yu, were you scared? It's all my fault. This house should have been inspected annually. It was all my negligence."

Yu Meng looked at Secretary Wu and wanted to laugh. How old is she? Still so easily frightened?

Yu Meng lightly jumped down from the eaves.

"Uncle Wu, I'm fine. It's not about the house. I was just experimenting, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"Oh, so you did an experiment! That's alright then. I'm finding someone to build the house. As long as you're okay." Secretary Wu wiped the sweat from his brow.

Then he looked at Jing Er and said, "Seal off this place and don't let anyone wander in."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away," Jing Er replied and left.
