Chapter 110: Targeting That Little Ant
The next morning.
Jiang Yuan and Si Heng arrived at Su Mei’s villa, carrying gifts.
The servant said Su Mei was not home.
“When will Sister Su Mei be back?” Jiang Yuan placed the gift box on the stone table and said with a smile, “We’re not in a hurry, we can wait for her here.”
The servant heard this and hesitated, “This… I need to ask Madam.”
“Okay, thank you for your trouble.” Jiang Yuan nodded.
The servant turned and entered the main building of the villa.
“What’s wrong?” Kang Chengye came downstairs wearing a bathrobe. He was standing in the living room drinking water and saw two strangers sitting in the garden through a gap in the curtains. “Who are they?”
Servant: “Sir, they are police officers.”
Kang Chengye’s eyes flickered, and he frowned, “What are the police here for?”
“They said some classified documents were lost nearby, Madam talked with them, and Madam gave Daisy to the female officer. She came here today specifically to thank Madam…”
After a moment of thought, Kang Chengye said solemnly, “Tell them to leave. There’s no need to wait. Madam is not coming back today.”
“Okay.” After the servant agreed, he quickly walked out of the main building, “Officers, Madam is not coming back today.”
Jiang Yuan and Si Heng exchanged a look, their eyebrows slightly raised.
“Is that so.” Jiang Yuan nodded, her gaze falling on the colorful flowers in the flower bed. “These flowers are so beautiful, did Sister Su Mei plant them?”
Servant: “Yes.”
Jiang Yuan stood up and walked to the flower bed to admire the flowers. “They are so beautiful, blooming so well.”
Kang Chengye, who was about to go upstairs, saw this scene before turning and his heart skipped a beat, his expression changing.
He didn’t have time to think, and quickly walked out of the main building to the garden. “Hello.”
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yuan turned to look at him.
Kang Chengye saw her appearance clearly, and a hint of stunning beauty flashed in his eyes. “Hello.”
“Who are you?” Jiang Yuan looked at him with confusion.
The servant explained, “This is our master.”
“Su Mei’s husband?” Jiang Yuan smiled politely. “Hello, I am Lan Mei.”
“Lan Mei?” Kang Chengye smiled. “A very nice name.”
“Thank you.”
Kang Chengye looked at Si Heng again. “And this is?”
Jiang Yuan answered as they had discussed beforehand, “He is my boyfriend, Jiang Heng.”
She didn’t notice that Si Heng’s ear tips turned slightly red as she said this.
“Oh, your boyfriend.” Kang Chengye’s smile faded. “My wife is not home, you are very thoughtful to come all this way to thank her.”
Jiang Yuan smiled meaningfully, “It’s nothing. Curly-haired Cat is so expensive, I’m truly grateful that Sister Su Mei was willing to part with it.”
Kang Chengye knew they were coming, but hadn’t reacted earlier, but when she walked to the flower bed, he rushed out.
What else could this be if not a guilty conscience?
“That’s nothing.” Kang Chengye waved his hand. “My wife is not home, if you two wish to thank her, you can come another day.”
This was essentially asking them to leave.
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan’s gaze fell on the flowers again. “Sister Su Mei’s flowers are so beautiful, can I take a few photos?”
If it’s just taking photos, of course there’s no problem.
“You take them.” Kang Chengye nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yuan took a few photos and noticed ants crawling on the edge and soil of one of the flower beds. “Huh?”
Seeing her stop in front of that flower bed, Kang Chengye felt as if his heart was clenched by an invisible big hand, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
“Miss Lan Mei, what, what’s wrong?”
“There are so many ants here!” Jiang Yuan exclaimed.
Hearing that she had discovered ants, Kang Chengye breathed a sigh of relief.
He said with a light smile, “It’s normal to have ants, they love flowers too.”
“So that’s how it is.” Jiang Yuan looked enlightened. “Will that affect the beauty of the flowers?”
“It will have some effect.”
“Then I can’t bear to let such beautiful flowers suffer.” Jiang Yuan said, “I’ll catch the ants.”
Kang Chengye and the servant looked surprised.
Catching ants?
No, are you police officers this idle?
Jiang Yuan looked around and her gaze fell on the mineral water bottle in Si Heng’s hand. “Drink the water in the bottle and let me put the ants in it. We’ll find a place to release them later.”
“I really can’t do anything about you.” Helplessness appeared on Si Heng’s handsome face, but he still drank the water as instructed and handed her the bottle.
He turned to Kang Chengye and explained, “My girlfriend respects all life in nature, she can’t bear to harm even a tiny ant.”
Kang Chengye looked a bit unnatural and coughed lightly, “Miss Lan Mei is truly soft-hearted and kind.”
Jiang Yuan caught a few ants, then smiled shyly. “You flatter me, I was influenced by my grandparents since I was young. Since Sister Su Mei is not home, we won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.”
“Okay, take care.” Kang Chengye watched their backs disappear, his gaze fell on the flower bed where Jiang Yuan had caught ants, and complexity colored his eyes.
Back in the car, Jiang Yuan held the transparent mineral water bottle, looking at the frightened little ants inside.
“It seems like this place has changed a bit?”
“Wow, this water is so sweet! Hurry up and taste it!”
“What is this, where are you taking us?”
“…”
Jiang Yuan listened to the words of the little ants and said softly, “Everyone, don’t be scared, I won’t harm you, I just want to ask you a few questions.”
The little ants started discussing.
“Is a human speaking?”
“Humans are so powerful, why do they need to ask us questions?”
“Wow, did I hear correctly? Is the era belonging to us ants about to arrive?”
“Speak louder, I can’t hear you.”
“…”
Jiang Yuan found it both funny and helpless. “How long have you lived in that garden just now?”
The little ants answered in a jumble.
“Lived there for a long time.”
“I’ve lived there since I was born.”
“I can’t hear clearly, what exactly are you talking about?”
“…”
Jiang Yuan found that a few ants had poor hearing.
She continued to ask, “Do you know the man I was talking to just now?”
“What is she saying again? I can’t hear anything.”
“Yes, he’s the male owner of the garden.”
“Don’t you have a boyfriend? Why are you still asking about other men?”
A few ants had poor hearing, but fortunately, one was clever.
Jiang Yuan: “Did he bury a human in the flower bed a couple of days ago?”
“Ah?”
“I don’t know.”
“I know about this, it was very late that night.”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up, and her gaze locked onto that little ant. “What’s your name?”
“Are you asking me?” the little ant asked.
“Yes.”
“My name is Dao Dao.”
“Hello, Dao Dao.” Jiang Yuan greeted it. “My name is Jiang Yuan, did you see them bury a human in the flower bed that night?”
The little ant Dao Dao replied, “I was having a late-night snack and was disturbed, it made me so angry!”
