Chapter 1497: Secret Information ( 1 )

Hearing Zhao Xirui’s words, Pan Chiyan raised his eyebrows as he looked at his cousin with a questioning gaze. Houzi shrugged and smiled.

Standing up, he reached out his hand and said, "Hello, Comrade. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

The moment he heard his introduction, Pan Chiyan understood that Zhao Xirui didn’t know about his background, and his identity as the adopted son must have been prepared by Xiao Feng, who was his direct supervisor.

After reaching this conclusion, he shook hands with him while saying, "Hello, Comrade, my name is Pan Chiyan."

When Mother Pan saw this, she lowered her head to hide her amusement. If not for her husband’s warning before, she might have disclosed her nephew’s identity the moment she saw him come with her friend.

After some introductions, they took their seats, and Mother Pan said, "Chiyan, you look so tired. Did you work overtime lately?"

"Mother, there is some urgent work to do, so I can only work overtime. But I will take care of my health, don’t worry," Pan Chiyan replied.

Hearing this, Mother Pan turned to her daughter-in-law and said, "Xue’er, later take some wolfberries, ginseng, red jujube, and dried mushrooms back. Stew some chicken soup to nourish your husband."

"Mother, I will," Bai Xue’er nodded.

When they were done talking, Zhao Xirui asked, "Chiyan, I heard from my husband that you are tasked with procuring more grains. Have you found the supplier?"

Pan Chiyan shook his head and said, "I have contacted several suppliers, but none of them have any stock left. I don’t know if I will be able to complete this task."

Zhao Xirui went silent at his words. She understood that what was troubling him was not the punishment or his poor record for failing the task, but the plight of people without food during the winter.

Noticing his cousin’s worries, Houzi said, "Mother, I will have some words with Comrade Pan."

Knowing that it must be boring for men to listen to women’s chat, Zhao Xirui nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Pan Chiyan exchanged glances with his cousin and said, "Comrade Zhao, let’s talk in the study."

When the two of them left the living room, Pan Chimu also followed after them. The moment they entered the study room and closed the door, he asked, "Cousin, when did you become Aunt Xiao’s adopted son?"

Houzi walked to the chair and sat down before he replied, "It has been around seven years. I need this identity so I can communicate with General Xiao."
