Chapter 2773 - 2709: Out of Sight

Jiang Xiao nodded.

She only set off the following afternoon.

On the way back, Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng took turns driving. Both drove fast but steady, and when they returned to the Capital City, they deliberately took a detour to avoid the usual entrance.

They weren’t sure if someone was watching them this time.

Anyway, they didn’t run into anyone.

Once back, Jiang Xiao tidied up and called Jiang Yingqiong.

"Little, you’re back?"

"Yes, Aunt, is Uncle okay?"

"He’s getting an injection again. He just won’t listen, but the truth is, there’s a lot going on. They were in a meeting until midnight last night."

She didn’t know how to express it. But judging by Hanzhong’s appearance, she was really worried.

"I’m going to see Uncle."

"I’m afraid he might not have time to see you even if you come now."

Jiang Yingqiong said.

"Don’t worry, I will make him see me."

Jiang Xiao brought a lot of things and had Guan Tiezhu deliver them to Li Hanzhong’s place.

However, Li Hanzhong indeed refused to see her.

Li Hanzhong sent his assistant out to tell her to chat with his wife and wait for him to finish his work before meeting her.

Jiang Yingqiong helplessly chuckled.

"See, what did I say?"

Jiang Xiao said to the assistant, "Please tell the Chief Alliance Officer that I can boost his energy for the upcoming tasks, and I only need five minutes."

At times like this, Li Hanzhong definitely shouldn’t get sick.

He shouldn’t be forcing himself either, or it could lead to wrong decisions and trouble.

If Li Hanzhong’s decisions weren’t relevant to them, Jiang Xiao wouldn’t have come to deliver him the potion.

She knew Li Hanzhong needed to be the Stabilizing Sea Needle right now.

Otherwise, Lu Zhenggang and the Gao Family and Long Family might try something, and she wasn’t afraid of any other issues. She was mainly worried that Meng Xinian might not come back smoothly.

So, it was crucial to ensure that Li Hanzhong stayed steady to keep those devils and monsters at bay and let them have no chance to cause trouble.

"Then please wait a moment, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Yingqiong watched him leave and said to Jiang Xiao, "Little, if your uncle is truly too busy, let’s forget about it."

"Don’t worry; Uncle will see me."

"However, if he does call you in, how will you persuade him to rest?"

"Aunt, I’m not planning to persuade him to rest." Jiang Xiao blinked her eyes.

Jiang Yingqiong was taken aback.

If she wasn’t going to persuade him to rest, what was the point of meeting him? He was already so busy, and likely wouldn’t want to waste even five minutes for a break, and Jiang Xiao taking up five minutes...

Jiang Yingqiong recalled her talks with Grandpa, who always praised Jiang Xiao. Thinking about this now, Jiang Xiao, regardless of everything, was still a young girl and might not have thought things through completely.

She couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

At this point, she hoped Li Hanzhong wouldn’t agree to let Jiang Xiao in.

But then she thought that chatting with Jiang Xiao might also help Li Hanzhong relax his tense mindset, which could be considered a form of rest, so she felt it might be a good idea to meet her after all.

Soon, the assistant returned, looked at Jiang Xiao, and said, "Miss Jiang, the Chief Alliance Officer invites you in."

Unexpectedly, Li Hanzhong was willing to see her.

Jiang Yingqiong patted Jiang Xiao’s arm, "Little, go ahead. I’ll prepare some snacks for us, and we can chat while eating once you’re back."

"Okay, Aunt, I’ll go now."

Jiang Xiao followed the assistant to the Chief Alliance Officer’s office.

The office was a bit further away from their living quarters, and Jiang Xiao saw Xiao Li stationed outside the door.
