It seemed her brother was right all along.

Yuan Mu Ye was hiding many secrets.

Could it be that Yuan Mu Ye was a double agent?

Jiang Lan pondered this.

"Secretary Jiang, I conducted an in-depth investigation and obtained information about their reinforcements. Otherwise, how do you think I acquired such crucial intelligence?"

Yuan Mu Ye said calmly.

After hearing this, Jiang Lan still looked at Yuan Mu Ye with suspicion. However, Yuan Mu Ye had no desire to explain anything at this moment.

"Secretary Jiang, we should prepare to face the enemy."

After saying this, he started walking forward.

Secretary Jiang stared blankly at Yuan Mu Ye's back for a few seconds. She originally intended to catch up, but then realized she didn't know what to say even if she did.

So, she simply didn't chase after him.

However, her suspicion of Yuan Mu Ye grew even stronger.

She knew that Gui Ling (Ghost Spirit) had many powerful experts. Yuan Mu Ye disappeared for half a month and actually returned unscathed. This made her somewhat suspicious that Yuan Mu Ye was hiding something.

It seemed she needed to investigate him thoroughly.

After thinking for a while, she decided the best way to investigate Yuan Mu Ye was to stay by his side and see what tricks he would play. As soon as he revealed any weaknesses, Secretary Jiang would immediately notify others to take action against him.

She wanted to catch up with Yuan Mu Ye, but found that his speed was surprisingly fast, and he disappeared in a flash.

She wore a surprised expression and felt a sense of frustration in her heart. She seemed to sense that Yuan Mu Ye's strength had increased again.

The current Yuan Mu Ye was clearly no longer someone she could deal with, or even match.

When she arrived outside, she found Yuan Mu Ye sitting and drinking tea, looking relaxed and carefree.

"How did you get here so fast?" Secretary Jiang couldn't help but ask Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye chuckled a few times and said, "I just arrived as well, Secretary Jiang. Are you so dedicated? Are you here to inspect the work again?"

Secretary Jiang said unhappily, "That's right, I'm here to inspect the work. Yuan Mu Ye, let me tell you, I'll be staying by your side from now on. I won't leave your side for a moment."

Yuan Mu Ye was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, unable to react.

Following him?

A woman following him all the time? What was that supposed to mean?

Yuan Mu Ye immediately refused, "Secretary Jiang, I'm not as free as you. I have other things to do, you know?"

"Then from now on, whatever you do, I'll do?"

Secretary Jiang looked determined to stick with Yuan Mu Ye.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu Ye had no choice but to find Li Pang Pang (Fatty Li) and said to him, "Fat Brother, this is our Secretary Jiang. Treat her well. Maybe you'll have a chance for promotion and a raise in the future."

When Li Pang Pang heard Yuan Mu Ye say this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Promotion and a raise were what Li Pang Pang was most interested in.

His face quickly bloomed with a sunflower-like smile, "Secretary Jiang, hello! Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Pang Pang, the captain of the outer city defense work this time..."

Once Li Pang Pang started talking, he didn't stop.

Secretary Jiang's expression began to turn ugly as she listened to Li Pang Pang talk. She wanted to run away.

But Li Pang Pang didn't let her go, and soon arranged for people to bring her tea and water.

Secretary Jiang had no choice but to accompany Li Pang Pang in his nonsense and listen to his work report.

At this time, Yuan Mu Ye had already arrived outside, standing at the temporary defense post. There were also many houses here, and Yuan Mu Ye felt somewhat emotional.

It was not easy to build such a residence in such a desolate place.

In this absurd world, even just living had invisibly become a luxury.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Mu Ye suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Brother..."

This voice immediately brought Yuan Mu Ye back to his senses. Yuan Mu Ye turned around and saw Ya Tou (Little Girl).

Now Ya Tou was cleaned up and looked like a grown girl. She was completely different from the disheveled state he first saw her in.

"Brother, it's really you! You're back!" Earlier, Ya Tou was very happy when she heard the news of Yuan Mu Ye's return. She originally wanted to find Yuan Mu Ye's whereabouts.

But she heard that Yuan Mu Ye had gone to a meeting. She was very happy to see Yuan Mu Ye now.

"That's right, it's me."

Yuan Mu Ye said.

Seeing Yuan Mu Ye's return, Ya Tou felt like she had found her backbone and said, "Brother, I heard that Gui Ling (Ghost Spirit) is about to launch an attack on us. Is this true or false?"

Seeing the worried look on Ya Tou's face, Yuan Mu Ye didn't hide anything and quickly said, "It's true."

In this situation, Yuan Mu Ye naturally wouldn't hide anything. After all, the sooner they were prepared, the better.

Whether it was mental preparation or any other kind of preparation.

After hearing this, Ya Tou's expression turned heavy.

"Brother, can we overcome this difficulty?"

Ya Tou asked Yuan Mu Ye, her eyes full of anticipation. After waiting for a while, Yuan Mu Ye said, "Don't worry, we definitely can."

However, Yuan Mu Ye had already thought it through. If they couldn't defend Jiang Cheng, he would still take Ya Tou and the others away from here.

He couldn't guarantee anything else, but Yuan Mu Ye was confident that he could protect a few people and leave here alive.

He suddenly reached out and touched Ya Tou's head, then slowly said, "Ya Tou, don't worry, we will definitely survive."

After hearing Yuan Mu Ye say this, Ya Tou's eyes couldn't help but become brighter, as if she had seen hope.

Next, Yuan Mu Ye inspected the situation here and saw that there were no problems at the moment.

Then he went to find Wang Ya Jie. He had something to ask Wang Ya Jie and didn't know if he could solve it.

He gave Wang Ya Jie the list of medicinal herbs from the prescription for refining the kind of pills that could be used by people who couldn't cultivate, and gave Wang Ya Jie some ghost stones (gui shi) to handle this matter.

Wang Ya Jie couldn't help but change his expression when he saw the list of medicinal herbs. But after seeing the number of ghost stones (gui shi) Yuan Mu Ye gave him, he was even more certain that the things Yuan Mu Ye was looking for were very rare.

And should be very expensive.

Why did Yuan Mu Ye want to find these medicinal herbs at this time?

Although he was full of doubts, Wang Ya Jie naturally wouldn't ask too much. He just needed to do what Yuan Mu Ye asked him to do.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, I will definitely find them for you."

"Okay. Thank you for your trouble."

Yuan Mu Ye said.

After finishing speaking, Yuan Mu Ye suddenly thought of something and returned to Jiang Cheng.

It had been a long time since he had seen Liang Sen Yu.

He returned to Liang Sen Yu's residence. It was lunchtime.
