Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 408: The Little Ant That Couldn’t Go Home_1

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: The Little Ant That Couldn’t Go Home_1

Leaving the interrogation room, Xiao Ming walked out without finding Ding Jianwei but bumped into Jiang Yang, who seemed to be waiting for him.

"What’s the matter?" he asked.

Jiang Yang scratched his head, hemmed and hawed for a while before saying, "Master has changed a lot recently.

In her free time in the past, she was either reviewing old case files or practicing punches in the training room, every day was incredibly fulfilling. She wouldn’t let me be idle either, tormenting me so much that I felt life wasn’t worth living.

But since we returned from the gambling ship, I’ve noticed she’s growing fonder of daydreaming, often sitting around and then inexplicably smiling, as if she had hysteria, it’s really creepy.

Once, after practicing punches in the training room, she touched her abs in front of the mirror and actually looked distressed and disgusted.

You know, she once considered having surgery to remove her breasts because she thought they were an encumbrance, hindering her movements."

Jiang Yang spoke with increasing fluency and openness, and finally turned to face Xiao Ming, staring at him earnestly, "Mr. Xiao, you are very impressive, the person I admire most in this world besides Master.

I also think that only you are worthy of Master.

So, I beg... no, I demand that you treat Master well and don’t break her heart.

Otherwise, even if I can’t beat you, I would risk my life to ensure that you would have an unpleasant ending!"

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow: "Is that a threat?"

Jiang Yang nodded: "It’s a threat and a warning!"

"Alright, considering you are her apprentice, I will heed your warning."

Smiling, Xiao Ming took out his cigarette case and slapped it into Jiang Yang’s hand, "When we’re outside, please take good care of her for me.

If she’s about to do something foolish like the gamble on the ship again, please make sure to inform me in advance.

In exchange, I’ll grant you one wish.

As long as it’s feasible and doesn’t harm the innocent, you can come to me at any time to fulfill it."

"Bullshit!" Jiang Yang sneered, "I want ten billion, can you give that?"

"Is that your biggest wish? That’s too easy. Just give me your bank account number, and it’ll be there by tomorrow at the latest."

Jiang Yang’s eyes popped out in surprise: "I’m her apprentice, looking after and protecting her is my duty.

You would give me ten billion for this?"

"If you can ensure she’s 100% safe from danger, I’m willing to give you even all my assets."

Jiang Yang’s mouth snapped shut with a click, then he bent over: "From now on, you’re my Master’s wife!"

Xiao Ming laughed heartily and walked past him.

Jiang Yang shouted after him in a sycophantic way, "Have a good journey, Master’s wife! Goodbye, Master’s wife! Master’s wife..."

Waiting until Xiao Ming disappeared around the corner of the corridor, Jiang Yang let out a sly smile, turned around, and was so frightened he almost cried out for his mother.

"Master... Master, do you have any instructions?"

Ding Jianwei glared at him fiercely: "I warn you, if you dare to secretly tip him off, I will transfer you to an isolated island to be a radio operator!"

"Master, you heard everything? Isn’t it true that you have good judgement! Master’s wife is willing to give up all her assets for your safety, she’s truly sincere towards you."

"Look at your poor standards! Xiao Ming earned all his assets in just half a year’s time. Even if he had hundreds of billions, what of it? He could make it back in minutes."

"What? Was he playing me? That son of a bitch, I..."

Ding Jianwei slapped him on the head, "Try cursing one more time?"

Jiang Yang, holding his head, said grievously: "Master, I was just standing up for you!"

"Take care of yourself and don’t worry about my business. Remember, no tipping off!"

After the stern warning, Ding Jianwei left with her hands behind her back.

Jiang Yang pulled a huge face at her retreating figure, thinking to himself, could the smile at the corner of her mouth be any more obvious, do I look blind? She’s clearly overjoyed on the inside but still putting on an act; women are indeed insincere.

Stepping out of the police station building, Xiao Ming immediately noticed a girl squatting beside a flower bed, poking at something with a small stick – it was An Kefang.

"What are you doing?" he went over and asked.

An Kefang jumped up in fright, and upon seeing it was him, she grabbed his arm pointing at the flower bed urgently, "Quick! I just accidentally obstructed an ant carrying food, and now it seems to have lost its way home. Please help it!"

Xiao Ming was exasperated, "Miss, I’m now inclined to doubt that you’ve even reached kindergarten senior level."

The girl looked down dejectedly, "I’ve been out here a long time, waiting for you and getting bored! It’s so pitiful that the little ant can’t find its home. Can you just help it?"

Xiao Ming wanted to ask "Why are you waiting for me", but seeing her expression, he eventually shook his head, bent over, and walked around the flower bed to find an ant hill. Then, he directly transported the lost ant to the entrance of the nest.

"I read in books that ants navigate by smell, by doing this, won’t you make it lose track of where it found food?" An Kefang asked worriedly.

Xiao Ming was exasperated: "Do you believe I’ll go inside and pour a bottle of boiling water into the ant nest?"

"Don’t!"

An Kefang grabbed his hand again, "It’s good enough that the little ant can return home, I shouldn’t ask for too much. Thank you, Brother Xiao."

There was something strange in her words.

Xiao Ming suspiciously looked at the girl, but seeing she was only staring intently at the ant nest with no unusual expression, he let his guard down.

That made sense, with the girl’s intelligence, she probably couldn’t grasp the concept of reading between the lines.

Maybe it was because he had been involving himself with too many women recently; wishful thinking was becoming a habit.

This wasn’t good, it needed to change.
