Ye Jin was in a happy state, and didn’t notice Ye Lin’an’s strange expression at all. He nodded and said: “Yes, this is a centipede, which belongs to a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. It is mainly used to treat internal liver wind, convulsions, hemiplegia, and broken bones, migraines, snake bites and many other effects.”

Ye Lin’an listened to Ye Jin’s introduction. Although he didn’t understand it at all, he guessed the general meaning. 

Looking at the more terrifying insects in the bottle, Ye Lin’an still nodded worriedly and asked inexplicably, “It’s not impossible to help you find it, but where can I find this kind of bug? Isn’t the color of this bug too bright and poisonous?”

When Ye Jin heard Ye Lin’an’s concerns, thought for a while, and answered: “Centipedes are naturally afraid of light and open water. They are nocturnal insects. They like to live in dark and humid places. 

During the day, they often inhabit hillsides, weed piles and crevices of stones. And centipedes are indeed a kind of highly poisonous insects, and they usually burrow into the soil when they feel danger. 

Remember to wear protective clothing when you catch them to prevent poisoning.”

After hearing Ye Jin remark that this kind of bug called a centipede is really poisonous, Ye Lin’an asked with a serious and concerned look on his face: “Xiao Jin, since you said that this kind of bug is poisonous, how are you going to use it? How are you going to add it to the dishes? What if the treatment caused people to die?” 

Ye Jin smiled mysteriously and said, “You don’t have to worry about this, cousin, I have my own way to solve it.”

Seeing Ye Jin’s suddenly lively and mischievous expression, Ye Lin’an still had some concerns in his heart, but Ye Lin’an still decided to believe and support Xiao Jin’s decision.

So he didn’t ask any more questions but went to find someone to hunt for this kind of bug.

“Stinky boy! I don’t know how to go home for so long, and you don’t care if it will make your grandpa worry?”

After arranging to capture the centipede, Ye Linan suddenly thought of the grandfather who sent him a text message to urge him to come back. He just called Ye Jin and wanted to ask him when he would go back.

However, before he could send anything, he overheard a roar coming from the store’s front entrance that was attracting tons of attention.

Ye Lin’an turned his head quickly when he heard the voice, and found that it was his father. 

But what he didn’t expect was that his energetic old man was standing next to his father, staring at Ye Jin with excited eyes.

Of course, Ye Jin also noticed the two people who came in, and Ye Fengcheng’s angry shout just now. 

He still didn’t understand what was going on, but looking at the two people standing at the door of the store with some doubts, he turned his head and took a look in the store again, not knowing who they were or what they were talking about.

Ye Xu looked at the grandfather and uncle who suddenly appeared at the door of the store, and wanted to go up and say hello.

But when he saw his uncle’s face and thought about the anger just now, he felt scared in his heart, and stood aside hesitantly, not daring to go forward.

Ye Lin’an looked at his father and grandfather, looked at them with a guilty conscience, and said, “Dad, grandpa, why did you come here in person? How are you, grandpa?”

Ye Fengcheng looked at Ye Lin’an with a dark face and gave him a hard look, but when he turned his head to look at Ye Jin, his face immediately became soft and even a little excited.

Ye Fengcheng didn’t intend to answer his son’s question at all, but looked at Ye Jin with excited eyes and said, “You are Xiao Jin, right? I am your uncle, and this is your grandfather. That brat Ye Lin’an never took you home before.

So the old man couldn’t wait to see you so he came here by himself. You are not angry, are you?”

After hearing Ye Fengcheng’s words, Ye Jin looked at them with a surprised expression. 

After a long while, he shook his head in a daze, opened his mouth to call someone, but he didn’t and said nervously: “No, I’m not angry, it’s just that I was a bit surprised. Please sit down.”

Ye Jin said as the two were let in. Ye Lin’an, who was still hesitant and guilty, hurried forward to invite the two in when he heard the words.

One waiter poured the tea while one wiped the chairs. 

The diners who ordered and ate food looked curiously at the actions of Ye Jin and his party, but they were all people who knew how to measure and didn’t intend to step forward to inquire. 

They just looked curiously at the interaction between the two people who entered the door and Ye Jin.

After Ye Jin invited Ye Fengcheng and Mr. Ye into the store, Mr. Ye grabbed Ye Jin’s hand with excitement and said in a hoarse voice: “Xiao Jin’er, grandpa has finally found you. I don’t know how you’ve lived for so many years. That brat has confessed his life experience to you, but he didn’t say when he would take you back. Grandpa wanted to see you so much, so I came here.” The old man said, turning his head to glare Ye Lin’an.

Ye Lin’an looked at Ye Jin with a gloomy expression, but he was in distress and didn’t know how to explain it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take Ye Jin back, but that Ye Jin didn’t know how to get along with his family and couldn’t go back.

Sitting next to the old man, Ye Jin explained to Ye Lin’an with a tangled expression: “Grandpa, grandpa, it’s not cousin’s fault. It’s because I’ve been a little busy recently so I didn’t have the time to come. He’s always urging me to go back.”

Before Ye Jin opened his mouth to call Ye Lin’an cousin, he would be a little unaccustomed to it. But when he really called out, he didn’t feel any unfamiliarity although he hesitated for a moment.

When Old Man Ye heard Ye Jin calling him grandpa, the smile on his face became even brighter. He was very happy and excited at the moment that he started being kind to Ye Lin’an again, losing his initial anger.

Looking at Ye Jin’s cute little hesitation, Ye Fengcheng felt a little distressed in his heart, but at the same time, he was looking forward to Ye Jin calling himself big uncle.

Grandpa Ye smiled and touched Ye Jin’s hair and said in a loving tone: “Okay, okay, our Xiao Jin can say anything, but I don’t know when Xiao Jin is coming home with grandpa. Grandpa has prepared the room, and the clothes from childhood to adulthood for you. Grandpa is still waiting for Xiao Jin to go back and continue to study food with grandpa.”

Listening to the old man’s rambling words, Ye Jin felt bitter in his heart for no particular reason. He felt an urge to cry, and involuntarily stretched out his hand to hold the old man’s thin and old hand.

He said in a firm tone: “Grandpa, when I finish my work in the store, I will go back with you, and we will study new dishes together.”

Hearing this, Old Man Ye laughed and patted Ye Jin’s hand and said, “Okay, well, then grandpa is waiting for Xiao Jin’er to go home together. When the time comes, Grandpa will bring out the recipes at home and let’s study together.” 

The old man said happily, then he turned his head to look at Ye Fengcheng and said, “Ah Cheng, we won’t go back today, we will find a hotel nearby to stay and wait for Xiao Jin’er to go back together.”

Ye Fengcheng nodded happily when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Ye Linan who was standing aside and said, “Stinky boy, didn’t you hear what your grandfather said? Hurry up and do it!”

Ye Lin’an looked at his father who changed his face extremely quickly, and he didn’t object after a few words in his heart, but directly arranged a place for the two of them.

Ye Jin looked at Ye Lin’an who was being summoned around. He felt a little sorry for him and wanted to ask him for mercy, “Uncle, cousin, he…” 

Ye Jin was interrupted by Ye Fengcheng just in the middle of his sentence.

Ye Fengcheng shook his head at Ye Jin, and while being happy with Ye Jin’s address to him, he comforted him: “Xiao Jin doesn’t need to help him. Your cousin’s affairs were not done well, so uncle ordering him around can be regarded as letting him grow up and learn the lesson. Besides, it is not that difficult to book a hotel.”

Ye Jin turned his head and glanced at Ye Lin’an who was booking a room and saw him smiling and shaking his head at him. He didn’t realize that he had offended his parents at all, but he was still smiling and felt relieved. He then continued to talk to the old man, during which Ye Fengcheng occasionally interrupted and got along very harmoniously.

Ye Jin chatted happily and even cooked the dinner himself. During the period, Mr. Ye and Ye Fengcheng also inquired about Ye Xu’s apprentice status, and stayed in the store until nine o’clock in the evening. Before leaving, Mr. Ye even went to the back kitchen with great interest to cook a dish for Ye Jin to taste.

As for Fu Chen, he was unfortunately very busy. After receiving the communication from the adjutant, Fu Chen sent Ye Jin back to the military headquarters and began to deal with the explosion of the spaceship and the remarks about Ye Jin on the star network. 

For the past two or three days, they have carefully investigated where all of these issues had originated.

Fu Chen looked at the information in his hand. His face was gloomy enough to drip water, and the pressure in the room surrounding him was so low that it could crush a person. Adjacent Xiao standing beside him waited for Fu Chen’s order without daring to breathe.

After feeling like living in this oppressive atmosphere for as long as a century, Fu Chen finally said in a cold tone: “It seems that we have to settle the old and new debts together. Since the members of the First Legion are looking for death, there is no need to give it to them. What kind of face do they save? By colluding with Zerg spies to murder the citizens of the empire and endanger the security of the empire, this kind of person is not worthy of being called a soldier, let alone an elite division in charge of the empire.”

Speaking of which, Fu Chen looked at Adjutant Xiao with cold eyes and continued: “Since we have evidence, let’s take action. Not all military courts are reliable people. You should send someone to watch Feng Marshal’s residence first. 

I will tell His Majesty that you will act immediately as soon as my news arrives. Remember, you must not be discovered before then.”

“Yes, I promise to complete the task!” Xiao Lang heard Fu Chen’s deployment, and immediately replied with a solemn expression and firm eyes. No one should cooperate with the Zerg, who are against the citizens of the empire.

After Fu Chen made the deployment, he immediately got up with the materials and walked towards the palace. He wanted to send a copy of the materials to His Majesty and hand over the evidence to the House of Assembly. This matter was no longer just a matter of the military department.

In the past, no matter how difficult the grievances between the First Legion and the Fourth Legion were, it was a matter within the empire itself. 

Now that the First Legion is cooperating with the Zerg spies, this matter cannot be settled easily. The Empire will never allow someone who betrayed the empire and cooperated with the Zerg, and served as the general of the empire’s legion, especially when the other party was a high-ranking marshal.
