Chapter 513: Chapter 471: Contrast and Cuteness

The Hunter had made up his mind to find Jiang Zhe, and he came over especially today.

He hadn’t found an opportunity to speak until now.

Old Lady Jiang was speaking with the Hunter, and it was likely that many guests were unfamiliar with him. Even during the live broadcast, his face had been smeared with camouflage paint and such, making his features unclear.

However, Old Lady Jiang was quite familiar with him and politely said, "I didn’t expect you to come today; it’s an honor for the Jiang Family."

The Hunter, capable of leading men to hunt down the lone wolf, commanded considerable strength within the military, and Old Lady Jiang had long heard of his achievements.

"Madam, you flatter me. I came here today specifically for Jiang Zhe," said the Hunter.

After escorting the lone wolf away, he had been fixated on Beifeng and Jiang Zhe, but at that time, he had been too preoccupied with dealing with the lone wolf to spare any time.

Now that the lone wolf had woken up and the case had been handed over to the relevant departments for adjudication, he finally had the time.

As soon as he had the time, he immediately looked into Beifeng’s files, hoping to transfer Beifeng under his command.

With his rank, wanting a soldier of Beifeng’s caliber was nothing out of the ordinary.

But for some reason, the unit where Beifeng was stationed refused to release him, saying that they had an important task for Beifeng.

In fact, it was Zhuo Jinman who felt embarrassed and deliberately kept the incident under wraps. Without her making a fuss, Qin Jingchen’s side naturally wouldn’t publicize it either, so the matter was conveniently concealed, with no one mentioning it.

Since they said Beifeng had important tasks, involving classified information, the Hunter couldn’t pry further, but he was deeply disappointed at not being able to get Beifeng.

As for Jiang Zhe, he didn’t want any more accidents to happen.

So this time, he personally came to see Jiang Zhe.

After hearing his intentions, Old Lady Jiang frowned and said, "Jiang Zhe is just a young girl..."

"Madam, I must disagree. Jiang Zhe may be a girl, but she has extraordinary capabilities that even boys cannot match. Besides, there’s an old saying, ’Women can be as heroic as men.’ Why should girls be seen as inferior to boys?"

Old Lady Jiang found his argument reasonable, but ultimately, it was still up to Jiang Zhe’s decision.

"Xiaozhe, what do you think?" Old Lady Jiang asked.

She didn’t really want Jiang Zhe to agree; it was too tough a job for a girl.

Jiang Zhe said evenly, "I don’t want to go, so I won’t."

"Jiang Zhe, whatever requests you have, feel free to make them. I can try to fulfill them. Once you follow me, I absolutely won’t let you suffer any loss," said the Hunter. His rank was so high that ordinary requests were easy for him to satisfy.

Jiang Zhe said, "I don’t want to run, I don’t want to train, I don’t want to share a room with others, I’m too lazy to move, and I just want to comfortably laze around, bask in the sun, and play with my phone. Those are my requests."

Hunter: "..."

Xiaobao, Fatty, and Jin Ruoshi all burst into laughter at these requests, which were very much like Jiang Zhe.

Qin Jingchen, standing on the side, couldn’t help but smile as well.

These requests sounded simple, but they were basic professional training for a soldier. If Jiang Zhe didn’t want to do these things, the Hunter, no matter how capable, wouldn’t be able to meet those conditions.

Where would you find a soldier who comfortably basked in the sun?

The Hunter laughed as well, "Jiang Zhe, are you unwilling to follow me?"

"Yes. You’ve heard my requests. I admire what you do, but I can’t do it."

The Hunter was sincere in listening to her words, and it wasn’t as if he deliberately wanted to trouble her. He remembered seeing her during military training, and indeed, she was always being taken care of and catered to by others, so he didn’t feel right saying much more.

However, he couldn’t hide his disappointment, "Such a promising young talent, how come... Beifeng doesn’t come, nor does Jiang Zhe!"

The Hunter, with his rugged appearance, was quite endearing as he grumbled in this way, revealing a contrasting charm.

Fen Ye hooked his arm around the Hunter’s neck in a familiar way, "Brother Hunter, you’re looking for the wrong people to follow you. You’d better switch targets fast. I reckon these two will never go with you in their lifetimes."

The Hunter looked unwillingly at Jiang Zhe but finally admitted defeat in front of her indifferent and uninterested gaze.

"We didn’t manage to invite them, but the drinks must still be had," Fen Ye raised his glass. "Brother Hunter, have all your brothers come over and drink a few more glasses. Since they’re here, after all."

The Hunter and his few brothers were indeed on holiday these days, enjoying some personal time.

He said, "Alright, we’ll just drink two glasses of something with a low alcohol content."

The old lady of the Jiang Family took advantage of a moment to call Jiang Zhe aside.

Jiang Zhe followed her.

"Are you really not going?"

"I’m really not going," Jiang Zhe said.

The old lady of the Jiang Family breathed a sigh of relief. "That’s good, I was truly afraid you might go. Your mother was never one to play by the rules, and I was afraid you would suffer."

Jiang Zhe smiled. She could feel her grandmother’s sentiments.

"Your two cousins couldn’t come today, but they both sent messages."

Jiang Zhe had seen photos of her two cousins, together with her mother.

The two cousins seemed to be about four or five years older than her. They looked adorable in photos as children, but there were fewer pictures of them as they grew up.

She listened carefully.

The old lady of the Jiang Family said, "Your oldest cousin is your eldest uncle’s son, named Jiang Sheng, and the second cousin is your second uncle’s son, named Jiang Tan. Jiang Sheng is already in the military camp. He seldom comes back. When he last came back, he looked so thin and dark, it broke my heart..."

Therefore, when the Hunter mentioned coming to take Jiang Zhe to the military camp, the old lady of the Jiang Family was the first to object.

"I’m not going," Jiang Zhe repeated.

The old lady of the Jiang Family calmed down and said, "Your oldest cousin couldn’t make it back this time, but he’s still very concerned about you. When your mother was around, she was very fond of him, and he often used to talk about you too. It’s just that back then, we all thought you were already..."

Jiang Xi left with Jiang Zhe still in swaddling clothes, and when Jiang Xi was gone, everyone assumed that Jiang Zhe’s fate was likely grim.

In those years, the Jiang Family had many troubles and couldn’t afford to look for Jiang Zhe and Jiang Xi.

Now, looking back, the old lady of the Jiang Family knew they all felt quite guilty.

"Your second cousin Jiang Tan is in a research institute. He’s currently rushing a project that is a national secret and very confidential. So, he also couldn’t make it back."

The old lady of the Jiang Family explained in detail to Jiang Zhe.

"I understand," Jiang Zhe said, already having some understanding of her two cousins. Even if the old lady of the Jiang Family hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have resented them.

The old lady of the Jiang Family said, "After the Jiang Family’s crisis back then, it was not easy for your two cousins. Every other child from the Four Great Families is living in glory, easily obtaining what others can’t. Only your two cousins have had to strive for everything on their own, making their path tougher than others."

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly, "Grandmother, descendants have their own luck."
