Chapter 179 The Cruel Side

After learning that Jiang Lin was injured because of Qin Xiangnuan, Jiang Lin received caring and concern from the Qin family.

"Grandma, he was just bitten, his bones are fine." Hearing that Old Lady Qin wanted Qin Xiangnuan to help Jiang Lin with the work, Qin Xiangnuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Besides, he has people around him to help him, so he doesn't need me."

Old Madam Qin didn't listen to her. "This is a small gift from our Qin family. You should go there in person to show your sincerity."

Qin Xiangnuan couldn't persuade Old Madam Qin, so she went to Jiang Lin.

"Nuannuan." When Jiang Lin saw her coming, he immediately bent his injured arm, and the white gauze shone brightly in Qin Xiangnuan's eyes.

Qin Xiangnuan glanced at the wound and reminded him worriedly: "Remember the precautions I told you. If your wound is serious, I won't take care of you."

"Of course." Jiang Lin responded obediently.

"Did Nuannuan come here to see those little guys?" Jiang Lin asked.

Qin Xiangnuan shook her head, explaining her purpose. Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It's what I should do. Don't let Madam Qin worry."

"Nothing is taken for granted." Qin Xiangnuan frowned, "I should thank you too."

Jiang Lin felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. Qin Xiangnuan's thanks seemed to have widened the distance between them.

It had been night for a long time, and Qin Xiangnuan was wrapped in the darkness, so Jiang Lin couldn't see her expression. When he wanted to take a step forward, several screams pierced the night sky.

It came from a group of children, and the volume continued to rise and did not stop for a long time.

It was obvious that the secret guards had no experience dealing with children, so Qin Xiangnuan suggested, "Let's go and take a look."

Jiang Lin nodded and changed direction.

They were quite far away, and the screams died down halfway. When they got there, they saw that the Qin family had also arrived. Several female members of the family were trying to comfort the children, but they couldn't even get close to them.

"Why did you block my mouth too?" Qin Xiangnuan's eyes flashed with pity.

"Miss Third, you don't know that we really have no other choice. We have already been very polite to them."

The fact that the child's hands and feet are still free at this time can prove this point.

"Don't go over there." Qin Xiangnuan had just taken a step when Jiang Lin pulled her back. "I'll go."

Qin Xiangnuan smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, they can't hurt me yet. I was caught off guard before and that's why you got bitten. That won't happen now."

Even with this explanation, Jiang Lin's judgment that the child was extremely dangerous could not be dispelled.

Jiang Lin walked straight towards the child who bit him. If he guessed correctly, the other children were following his instructions.

The women of the Qin family were afraid that the children would get hurt, so they didn't let the secret guards touch them and tried to influence them with gentleness, but this method obviously didn't work. Jiang Lin didn't have so many concerns and was able to control them easily.

After Jiang Lin passed the women of the Qin family, the secret guards received the signal and restrained the child's hands and feet.

"You seem to be a smart person. You should be able to understand the current situation. If you know what's good for you, cooperate well and answer all the questions. You won't endanger their lives." Jiang Lin stopped and leaned over to speak.

The child in front of him had a fierce look in his eyes as he looked up at Jiang Lin, his aura not diminished at all.

Jiang Lin admired him. He had such a good character at such a young age. He was a good seedling and better than many children he had seen.

"Be good and listen to me." Jiang Lin said, taking the cloth out of his mouth. "We are just asking a few questions."

"Pooh!"

Jiang Lin faced the attack head-on and dodged it at an extremely fast speed, but a few drops of the child's saliva fell on his body.

"master!"

“Oh my God!”

“Wow!”

They were brave, but Qin Xiangnuan felt that they were too hostile to strangers. They must have suffered some major misfortune. She didn't know when they started to be like this.

Qin Feng covered his mouth. He was not gloating, but the scene in front of him was very familiar. It reminded him of what the old man did to him when he asked for directions.

Jiang Lin's face darkened. He grasped his jaw and lowered his voice. "Since you're unwilling to cooperate, I won't force you. I'll still help you and them, and I'll never speak again."

These words were naturally threats, but the women of the Qin family believed them to be true, and their faces were filled with panic and worry.

"Prince Jiang, they are still children." Old Madam Qin was particularly reluctant, but her steps forward were stopped by Qin Guang, who shook his head to indicate that she should not interfere.

The rest of the people could only watch helplessly.

The child's stubbornness finally showed a crack. Jiang Lin saw the fierceness in his eyes gradually fade away, and finally turned into compromise and begging.

Jiang Lin looked away, stood up, and said in a low voice, "Let go, everyone. I've asked clearly."

"yes."

Qin Xiangnuan stared at Jiang Lin's back as he walked away. When she passed by him just now, she sensed the cold aura around Jiang Lin and also discovered that his tightly clenched hand was the same one that had pinched the child.

Qin Xiangnuan did not follow and returned to her own tent.

"Nuannuan, Prince Jiang is too cruel. It's too dangerous for you to be with him. We'd better not go with him." As soon as Liu saw Qin Xiangnuan, she pulled her over and persuaded her earnestly.

"He's not that kind of person." Qin Xiangnuan didn't want Liu to say that about Jiang Lin. "He wouldn't really hit a child."

Old Madam Qin was also shocked by the scene just now. She had never seen Jiang Lin's cruel look before, but after seeing him today, she felt a little scared and her previous thoughts were shaken.

"Nuannuan, is Prince Jiang sincere to you?" asked Old Lady Qin.

"He has never hurt me." Qin Xiangnuan's tone was a little stiff.

Seeing this, Qin Guang hurried out to smooth things over. "Nuannuan knows her limits. We should trust her. She knows what to do. We've been busy today, so let's take a break first!"

When they woke up the next morning, they learned the news they had heard from the child.

"It seems we need to return to that small village." Qin Feng clapped his hands in surprise. "Last night I suspected that the child might be from the old man's family, and now it has been verified."

The facts were somewhat different from Qin Feng's guess. They were from the same village, but these children were all fatherless and motherless. The conditions in the village were poor, and no one was willing to raise these burdens.

Today, they were expelled in the same way before entering the village. It was only after seeing those children that they told them some of the situation, but they were still not allowed to enter the village.

"Since you are not those people, then I would like to kindly advise you to leave quickly. If you want these children, take them. If you don't want them, just leave them to fend for themselves."

The children were unmoved by such remarks, and it seemed they were already used to it.

"How can you be so cruel!" Qin Feng accused them, "Look at these people, they are still so young, how can they survive without anyone to look after them?"

"Aren't they already this old?" The old man was unmoved and waved his hand, "Go away, don't come again."
