Chapter 1182: Chapter 1181: Vigilance

Huo Beijiang and Huo Zhenchuan exchanged glances, then Huo Beijiang discreetly made a hand gesture with his right hand.

“Not him,” Jiang Yang said with a serene gaze.

“Uh-huh! I know,” Huo Beijiang assured, soothingly ruffling Jiang Yang’s hair.

Minister Wei didn’t have any hostility about him. The person who made Jiang Yang so guarded just now couldn’t possibly be him.

So who was it? Who could silently infiltrate the highly secure courtyard? It had to be someone from inside the courtyard or someone guided by an insider; otherwise, it was absolutely impossible to get in.

Regardless of who it was, the individual would definitely be caught by him.

Huo Beijiang had an intuition that the current situation was no longer as simple as before. Whether it was Jiang Zhuanzhuan, Leng Peixi, or his wife’s seemingly honest but actually shrewd classmate Leng Ran, none of them were working alone anymore.

He stroked his chin, and in the hazy night, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

“Things are getting more and more interesting,” he whispered softly, his voice not loud, but Jiang Yang, who was closest to him, heard him clearly. “Sending the little wife to the military for special training was the right move. Just two months in, and some people are already restless.”

“Brother-in-law, who could it be?” Jiang Yang looked up at this tall and imposing man who filled him with a sense of security. A flicker of realization crossed his clear eyes, and he finally understood why Nan Fei had gone from initial rejection and disgust to fear and now acceptance and fondness.

Brother-in-law indeed was a likable person.

Jiang Yang hadn’t liked Huo Beijiang at first either, but now he felt that brother-in-law was really nice, even nicer than Brother Wei Qin, who used to be his favorite.

“They’re targeting you,” Huo Beijiang said bluntly, taking a seat on the small stool Jiang Yang had just been sitting on, and letting his brother-in-law squat beside him, shoulder to shoulder. “They want to catch you as a way to restrain your sister, but their ultimate target is actually me.”

A bit of a roundabout explanation, one that others might not understand immediately, but Jiang Yang nodded solemnly and said seriously, “I will protect myself and not give anyone a chance to use me against my sister.”

“Good boy!” Huo Beijiang said with satisfaction, patting Jiang Yang’s head with the same affection one would show a pet.

Wei Fangyi almost couldn’t help wanting to chop off Huo Beijiang’s paws.

“Are you guys in trouble?” Wei Fangyi asked with concern. “If you’re in trouble, let me know, and I’ll arrange for my security department to help you.”

Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow, surprised, and gave Wei Fangyi a look, wondering what had gotten into him.

The security department of the Ministry of National Defense, who would dare to use that?

Anyone who was deceived by the three ordinary names of the security department would be an idiot. Those who made it into the Ministry of National Defense’s security department were all among the elite selected from the special forces of the six major military regions, including Kings of Soldiers.

“No, we’re fine,” although he had a good relationship with Wei Qin, he had always considered the Wei Family to be in opposition.

Huo Beijiang was a man who held grudges, and he wouldn’t forget how Wei Fangyi backed up Lu Da and Lu Dongxin, forcing him into an engagement.

“No, if there’s anything wrong, just tell me directly. This is also a token of my goodwill, please don’t refuse,” Wei Fangyi tried earnestly to get Huo Beijiang to accept his help.

He used to dislike Huo Beijiang, but now he was trying to treat Huo Beijiang as if he was his own son.

Actually, he was just feeling restless at home, unable to stop worrying, and wanted to go out for a walk, inadvertently ending up at the Huo Family’s place.
