Chapter 336: Chapter 297: Shen Family Cousin Wants to Visit His Sister in the City

Wuyun Mountain

Unexpectedly, the clues pointed to this place.

"Mr. Jiang, I heard your home is next to Wuyun Mountain?"

"Yes, my home is in Qingshan Village. Wuyun Mountain is at the border of Cang County and Qingshan Village. Both sides wanted it, but neither got it. Now it’s been designated to the National Military Department, and a military/secret base has been newly built there."

"That makes it difficult." The person in charge frowned, deep in thought.

Jiang Mingyue also understood; it turned out they didn’t know about that place either.

After a long while, the person in charge asked again, "Do you know who their chief commander is?"

Of course, this time they weren’t asking her. They probably thought that such a person was far removed from her, how could she possibly know.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t want to take on the matter either, it wasn’t her turn yet. Besides, she keenly felt that this person in charge was eager to perform meritorious deeds, get a promotion, raise, and vie for power. Who knows if there were factions inside?

The partner being asked stroked his chin, "I do know his mother, maybe I can help."

Zhan Cailian? Jiang Mingyue’s heart suddenly tightened; she wasn’t a good person, key to causing trouble. If that person could stay away, she would wish them away forever. She wouldn’t hope someone would summon her.

"You have such a connection?"

"I’m not sure, I need to find someone to ask."

"No problem, you go ahead. I’ll give you time. After all, it’s not easy for us to visit Wuyun Mountain rashly, best if someone can make the connection."

"Ahem..." At this point, Gan Institute seemed to have a tickle in his throat.

With his cough, everyone’s gaze turned to him. Gan Institute took the opportunity to scan the group of subordinates, more precisely, he was looking at Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue: Is this an invitation for her to speak? Seems not.

Just as she was puzzled, Gan Institute spoke.

"I, Gan, humbly happen to know Commander Yan, but he is not on Wuyun Mountain right now. It’s said he is on a secret mission. If we want to go up Wuyun Mountain, there are other ways."

Everyone: "Eager to hear the details."

Gan Fengzhe just wanted to roll his eyes, he didn’t believe they couldn’t think of it, just waiting for him to say it first.

"We can apply to higher-ups."

Person in charge: "That’s right! I almost forgot, thanks to you for reminding me. Alright, I’ll make a call to apply to higher-ups immediately."

Gan Institute internally: Ha ha!

The application was quick, but those who could go up Wuyun Mountain had to be screened.

Finally, only Gan Fengzhe and An Jian from the Southern Institute, and the investigation team comprising the person in charge, Liang Yuming, and Gan Zhe – five people in total went up the mountain.

The rest remained to guard, while others went to rest. The expert group had previously taken over the guesthouse, providing a place for rest.

Jiang Mingyue returned home and noticed their neighbors were moving in and out. Her spiritual power extended out, and she was amazed.

Number 41 next door was about to be occupied. Only then did she find out that the next door was a huge courtyard, several times larger than her two courtyards combined. The layout was somewhat scattered yet incredibly harmonious, unlike the orderly layout of traditional courtyards but still intriguing, like a resort. However, the greenery wasn’t good. Thinking about the recent social developments, anyone with flowers planted had them removed, guessing it was the previous owners who cleared it themselves.

Jiang Mingyue "saw" all the way and was surprised to find someone she knew.

Uncle Mute?

Could it possibly be what she thought?

After a nap, Jiang Mingyue was awakened by the new neighbors next door knocking on her door.

Jiang Mingyue saw a young man standing opposite her front door on Wutong Street, number 55.

"?"

The youth, looking somewhat shy, handed over a basket with both hands, "Mr. Jiang, we’ve moved in next door, please take care of us in the future."

Jiang Mingyue: "...Great! Hold on." Jiang Mingyue went back inside, and when she came out, the young man’s basket was filled with fresh morels.

The young man’s eyes lit up; he could have delicious morel chicken soup again tonight.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"...You’re too kind!" To this day, she didn’t understand why this young man was so polite to her.

As the young man turned around, Jiang Mingyue remembered another question, "Do other neighbors have this too?"

The young man shook his head, "No, only Mr. Jiang and the fourteenth brother have."

Fourteenth? It took Jiang Mingyue a moment to recall who the fourteenth was.

Her cousin is back?

"Uncle Mute is very thorough." After all, engaging in such underground business, discretion was key. The more neighbors knew, the more people would want to investigate. Too many gossips could lead to trouble.

"Uncle Mute said the main gate won’t be opened and will be sealed from the inside. They’ll enter and exit through a back door, which opens to a deserted alley."

"Great!"

After they parted, the youth gained another impression of Mr. Jiang: Mr. Jiang likes to say "Great!"
