Chapter 1021: An Indirect Confession?
In Situ Yan's office.
Watching Jiang Feng unapologetically sitting on the sofa after entering, Situ Yan felt a mix of emotions.
Once upon a time, her first meeting with Jiang Feng left a deep impression, and it was also here within the actions department.
At that time, she brought Jiang Feng back from the "Dynasty" KTV for interrogation, then many "things that shouldn't have happened" occurred.
Ever since that "big upheaval," Jiang Feng broke into her heart.
To this day, it still felt unforgettable and inescapable!
Just when Situ Yan was reminiscing about the moments with Jiang Feng, feeling somewhat moved.
Jiang Feng took the initiative to break the silence: "Why did you ask me to come over, what's the matter?"
Situ Yan snapped back to reality, sighed softly, and handed Jiang Feng a cup of tea she brewed herself.
Then, she walked behind Jiang Feng, gently massaging his shoulders: "It's nothing, really, just couldn't stand how they treat you. Some people are truly blind to not recognize a golden son-in-law. Someone like you is not appreciated…"
Jiang Feng frowned. He didn't like people discussing his affairs with the Nangong Family; it's his private matter, even Situ Yan shouldn't meddle!
At that moment, Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders, frowning further: "You called me here just to say this?"
"Of course not. First, I want to ask you something — did Jin Shixiang and Nangong Yan's deaths really have nothing to do with you?"
Situ Yan suddenly changed the subject, looking meaningfully at Jiang Feng.
"Nonsense. Haven't you already concluded that they died in a car accident and it wasn't caused by me?" Jiang Feng said calmly.
"But, in a surveillance footage, your figure was captured under a road sign…"
Situ Yan said softly, "Jin Shixiang must have seen you before he died, that's why he panicked and ran into the middle of the road…"
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Feng looked at Situ Yan sharply and said flatly.
"Oh, don't get nervous, I was just pointing out a little inconsistency I noticed, I didn't say I'd disclose it to anyone, look how anxious you are!"
Seeing Jiang Feng angry, Situ Yan quickly softened her tone, replacing it with a gentle tap of her pale little fist on Jiang Feng's shoulder: "Isn't it all your fault for leaving such a deep impression on me? The surveillance footage was blurred by the rain, yet I could still recognize your silhouette, probably only I could make you out from that…"
Jiang Feng couldn't understand what she meant by this, was it a subtle confession?
If so, this way of confessing was too unconventional.
"Are you just messing with me?"
"What are you talking about!"
Situ Yan glared at Jiang Feng unhappily: "You really have no sense of romance, it's been so long since we last met, couldn't we talk about something meaningful? At the very least, I'm still your mistress, can't you care a bit about my feelings?"
"…"
Seeing Jiang Feng speechless, Situ Yan couldn't help but laugh softly and said, "Alright, seeing how troubled you look, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, the reason I asked you to stay is because there's something more important to discuss. Even if the car accident didn't happen, I would still have come to find you."
"What is it?"
"My grandpa wants to see you!" Situ Yan said seriously!
"Your grandpa?"
Ever since the chaos at the Situ Family's engagement banquet, Jiang Feng seemingly hadn't seen Situ Zhenjiang, and they hadn't had much interaction. Why would that old guy want to see him now?
"What does he want with me?" Jiang Feng said sternly.
"Don't be impatient yet…"
Situ Yan said softly, "Jiang Feng, perhaps you still don't know. Over all this time, my grandpa's view of you has changed. As he got to know you better, he considered you a rare young talent in Binhai, even throughout the whole province and nation. So regarding my relationship with you, he no longer has any objection and fully supports it…"
At this point, a blush appeared on Situ Yan's delicate face: "This time he wants to see you because there's an urgent matter he wishes to ask for your help with…"
"Regarding that matter, because it doesn't involve military secrets, I can't tell you in advance. You have to go and let grandpa tell you himself—it's related to my cousin Situ Jingjie!"
"Situ Jingjie?"
Jiang Feng became more confused, how could it also involve Situ Jingjie, and what did this military secret have to do with him?
"Yes!"
Situ Yan nodded: "Situ Jingjie is no longer an officer under my grandpa's command. Influenced by you, grandpa feels that the youth in the Situ Family are inadequate and lack tempering, so he sent Situ Jingjie to a place with an old comrade of his for practical training. This time something happened over there, Situ Jingjie got injured, and grandpa's old subordinate has sent out a plea for help, so—"
Situ Yan cautiously looked at Jiang Feng's eyes. She knew Jiang Feng disliked being asked for help and didn't like meddling, but now she really had no choice, and even her grandpa was helpless. Matters on the distant front lines were beyond their reach, only Jiang Feng had the ability to turn the tide.
"Jiang Feng, in any case, my cousin was quite decent to us back then. He was the one who rescued you and Chu Feifei on that deserted island. Even if I often criticize him, I remember this favor. As long as you're willing to help this time, I'd do anything…"
As she spoke emotionally, Situ Yan's face reddened even more.
She knew that with Jiang Feng's ability, she didn't need to do anything, but only her pure body, ready for him to enjoy at any time, could be considered her ultimate dedication.
Hearing Situ Yan say this, and considering that he didn't have a particularly bad impression of Situ Jingjie, Jiang Feng said calmly: "You don't need to say all this unnecessary stuff to me, if it's really necessary, I'll take a look, you drive and lead the way."
"Okay!"
Seeing Jiang Feng agree, Situ Yan was immediately overjoyed and excitedly said: "First let's go out for lunch, my treat. After lunch, I'll take you to meet grandpa!"
