I listened to my sister's words today.
Chapter 216 A new day
It was past four in the morning. Jiang Ling was lying on the bed. Without the familiar warmth in her arms, she felt that her sleep quality had become somewhat uneasy and uncomfortable.
Helplessly, Jiang Ling reached out and picked up the mobile phone from the bedside. After turning on the screen and seeing the time displayed on it, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Then, I noticed that there were unread messages from my assistant, so I clicked on them to check.
His eyes focused on the screenshots in the file.
It shows a group of people frantically discussing a mysterious creature called "Cat-Fox" on the Internet.
In order to see this legendary animal with their own eyes, these people even spent a lot of money to buy expensive plane tickets and traveled thousands of miles to come here.
Jiang Ling looked at these people's actions and smiled bitterly in his heart.
To be honest, even she herself was not quite sure what species the little guy belonged to.
I only know that it is a fox, but I haven't studied other aspects in depth.
Recalling that when I was at Mr. He's house, I heard Mr. Wen say that the little guy was a rare species that had been extinct for more than a hundred years. I thought he was just senile and didn't take it too seriously at the time.
But now, looking at the partial information sent by his assistant, Jiang Ling began to regret his previous careless attitude.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling rubbed his temples vigorously, then slowly sat up from the bed.
He casually grabbed a coat and put it on, then hurried towards the study, ready to find more detailed information about the "Southern California Cat Fox".
The page on the screen refreshed quickly, and content about "Cat and Fox" flooded in.
I carefully selected several seemingly authoritative research reports and read them while comparing them with the photos on my phone.
The features described in the report are surprisingly consistent with the little guy's appearance: a slender body, flexible limbs, and slightly exaggerated large ears.
Even the eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts were exactly the same.
However, when she looked down at the photo of the little guy on the table, she couldn't help laughing.
The little guy in the photo is lying lazily on the sofa, his snow-white fur making him look adorable, which forms a sharp contrast with the "agile and mysterious" description in the report.
I couldn't help but think of a picture, which was a photo of a wolf and a Husky standing shoulder to shoulder.
Jiang Ling slid the tablet casually. The text on the screen was blurry and stiff. He shook his head, sighed, and put the tablet on the table.
The so-called "information" is almost nonsense. There is neither definite evidence nor any value worthy of further investigation.
But Jiang Ling couldn't help but write down some of them, maybe they would be useful someday?
He chuckled at himself, not holding out any hope.
"Knock knock--" The butler's knock on the door broke the silence just in time.
"Master, breakfast is ready."
The butler pushed the door open and stood respectfully by it.
Jiang Ling nodded and replied calmly, "I understand."
He stood up, casually threw the tablet on the sofa, and went into the bathroom.
Warm water flowed through my fingertips. The person in the mirror looked a little tired, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife.
The little guy is not at home today, the dining table seems empty, and breakfast is too simple: a few slices of bread, a bowl of porridge, and a few pickles.
She didn't delay any longer, finished a few bites, and went back to the cloakroom upstairs.
In the cloakroom, various clothes were hung neatly. Jiang Ling's eyes swept over them and finally stopped on a dark gray coat.
Wearing a low-key casual outfit, he reached out to smooth the corner of his clothes, and a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes.
Of course, the reason I was in such a hurry to go to the hospital this morning was not because of what happened yesterday.
There is only one real purpose - to observe the techniques of pediatric medical staff.
How do those medical staff who have been working on the front line for decades calm down a crying child instantly, and how do they perform injections and bandaging with extremely skilled techniques?
Jiang Ling took a deep breath and pushed open the door. The air downstairs blew in with the chill of a winter morning.
Outside the door, a black car had already parked beside the quiet driveway. The car body was shining slightly under the dim light, causing a few fallen leaves beside the car to spin and slide down.
A young man in a dark gray suit walked over quickly with a stern expression, his footsteps tapping the ground.
"The Patriarch's medical department can only temporarily deploy two people."
The man spoke in a low voice, revealing a hint of urgency. He then raised his hand to signal, and the two people standing next to the car stepped forward.
Their movements were in unison, their faces expressionless, their suits well-tailored, with a hint of the badge's sheen faintly visible on their cuffs.
The tall man nodded slightly, while the other one was shorter but had a sharp look in his eyes. He put his hands behind his back, vaguely revealing the alertness of his professional habits.
Jiang Ling stood by the car door, his eyes sweeping over the two of them like a cold blade, and he said coldly, "I understand."
He glanced down at the time on his watch and then got into the car.
The others moved quickly, the car doors closed with a short "bang", the taillights lit up slightly, and the two cars started almost at the same time.
The vehicle slowly drove away from the manor and passed through the shady forest path.
Outside the car window, the shadows of the trees swayed in the dimness, and the fragmented moonlight shone through the branches and leaves onto the roof of the car, like a layer of flowing silver.
The main city road ahead stretched out in the distance, street lights pierced the curtain of night, and the traffic was sparse and silent.
The atmosphere in the car was not relaxed at all.
Jiang Ling leaned back in the back seat, her hands lightly folded, but her eyes never relaxed as she stared through the car window at the rapidly receding street scene.
The cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the car.
She looked down and saw the name on the caller ID, which made her smile slightly. She pressed the call button without hesitation.
The driver in front of the car also quickly raised the middle partition.
When the video jumping on the screen was connected, a childish little face immediately came into view.
Those eyes were as clear as the morning light, full of vitality.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his tense nerves instantly relaxed, and the smile on his lips deepened a little.
"Hello? Sister! Good morning! Have you eaten breakfast?"
The little girl opposite had a voice as clear as a bell, and the whole world seemed to come alive because of her liveliness.
"I just finished eating. You got up so early today. Are you angry?"
"No!"
The little guy raised his head and retorted in a baby voice, "
I got up as soon as Auntie called me!" The pride seemed to overflow from the screen.
"Good good."
Jiang Ling chuckled, but changed the subject quickly, with a hint of nagging in her tone.
"Remember to wear clothes when it's cold, and take off clothes when it's hot. Don't eat anything you want, and don't eat too much at meals—"
The little guy wrinkled his nose in protest and pretended to be annoyed to change the subject.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to change and go out! I'm going to watch the flag-raising ceremony! Sister, you have to be careful at work too, I'm going to hang up first!"
"Slower--"
Before Jiang Ling could say more, the call was hung up and the screen went dark.
He held the phone in a daze for a while, then couldn't help but chuckle. The smile spread from the corners of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes, softening his entire face.
