    After finishing breakfast, Ji Qiuhan suggested taking a walk in the garden. Jiang Zhan knew he was giving himself some free time.

    Yi Qian knelt all night last night. His posture remained unchanged, with his back straight and waist in pain. In the morning, Wei Wei had to support him to help him stand up. He scolded him, "Are you stupid? Don't you know that Jiang Ge forgot about this matter? Did you secretly slack off?"

    Yi Qian relaxed his body and laid down on the bed. "Stop with the nonsense and put in some effort. If you don't go and complain to the dean, he won't take you seriously." Hearing these familiar words, Wei Wei held a bottle of medicinal oil in his hand and thought, "You're really becoming more and more like Jiang Ge!"

    The door to the room was half-closed. Jiang Zhan pushed it open and immediately furrowed his brows at the scene inside.

    "What did I ask you to do?"

    "Big brother?" Wei Wei had just left when Yi Qian was startled to see him, instinctively standing up from the table. "...Is it not Wei Wei who came to tell me? Did big brother tell me to get up...?"

    No way! Could it be that brat dared to forge military orders??

    "Why did I tell him to ask you to come back?"

    It took Yi Qian's brain two seconds to process, and he whispered, "Let me go back and take my medicine, eat..."

    "Has Wei Wei been here?"

    He's here, but he just left, saying there's some business at the hospital.

    Jiang Zhan walked over and unsurprisingly saw the untouched breakfast and the laptop that was still turned on, indicating that work was being done. "What did I tell you before? If you can't remember to eat, kneel in the study until you remember, then get up and eat."

    The alarm bells rang in his heart, but with a quick glance... it seemed that his brother wasn't about to explode in anger. In fact, upon seeing Jiang Zhan, he had a hunch that his brother was actually feeling concerned for him.

    "Don't... don't... don't... Bro, my legs are still shaking, I was about to be eaten just now. If you hadn't come in, I might have been finished..."

    Jiang Zhan slapped him on the back of the head.

    "Hurry up and come over to eat your meal while you still have energy,"

    He reached over and grabbed his laptop directly, then Jiang Zhan carried the tray with large strides and placed it on the small coffee table in front of the sofa, saying, "Come sit here and eat."

    I don't know when this bad habit started, but Yi Qian eats very quickly. In the past, Zhou Yu used to say, "That child eats with a face that says wasting time." After being scolded a few times by Jiang Zhan and not listening, he was thoroughly beaten with a rattan cane, of course, this only happens in front of Jiang Zhan.

    He held a white porcelain spoon and spent close to half an hour drinking a bowl of porridge. Jiang Zhan sat beside him, calmly flipping through the newspaper, waiting for him without any hurry or impatience.

    "Bro, are we still investigating Jige's matter?"

    "Zha."

    After parting ways with Jiang Zhan, he spoke in a deep voice, "Especially that Li Guoyi."

    "In addition to those previously unverified, biological parents, close friends, and several colleagues from the three groups, all of them have been thoroughly investigated in these past two days."

    "Yes, understood."

    "And," Jiang Zhan turned his head to the side and whispered a few words.

    "This...bro, just based on that photo, you want me to find someone," but Yi Qian hesitated for only a moment, "Yes! I will arrange it immediately."

    Jiang Zhan nodded in response.

    "By the way, give me the itinerary for the past two days."

    He swiped twice on the tablet and spoke directly.

    "Cancel both of these meetings. Pick the appropriate person to handle the audit for the ED, and I'll call Zhou Yu directly later. Clear your schedule for the next two days."

    Yi Qian quickly made a mental note and asked, "Brother, is there something urgent?"

    Jiang Zhan casually opened a financial news article without even lifting his head.

    "There's nothing going on, I'll make some time to tidy you up."

    "Pfft———! Cough, cough!!"

    A mouthful of water immediately choked into Yi Qian's lungs, causing him to cough so hard that tears flew out: "Cough...! This...this can't be true, bro...?"

    "Do you know what fear feels like now?"

    Jiang Zhan sneered, "I see that you've been quite bold lately, even going so far as to make decisions on my behalf about matters concerning what's by my pillow."

    "No, no, I dare not..." Yi Qian's back broke out in a cold sweat.

    To everyone's surprise, Jiang Zhan displayed a warm and friendly demeanor, completely unexpected.

    He casually crossed his legs, displaying the demeanor of a wise and understanding parent.

    Brother, I know you're worried about me, but look at our elder brother Ji. He's so busy with work, constantly overwhelmed with the never-ending cases at his workplace. We shouldn't make him worry about such matters in the future.

    "You've also noticed during this period of time that I treasure him more than anything. So, not only this matter, but also any other matters in the future, if there's something I can handle for him, don't let him worry about it. Making him worry means making me worry, making me worry..."

    "No no no!" The more I listened, the faster my heart raced!

    Yi Qian raised his finger and vowed, "I understand, big brother! I promise! In the future, I won't let you, oh, and also Ji Ge, worry even a bit!"

    Everyone nodded slightly, somewhat satisfied.

    However, in regards to the matter of "negligence" during the investigation, I feel that it is necessary to have a proper discussion with you. Come to my study tonight."
