As Jian San finished speaking, a young man with slicked-back hair and a face that looked to be in his early twenties was thrown to Su An's feet.
Su An's somewhat drowsy mind jolted for a moment.
What the hell?! They've already targeted her family so quickly!
Su An's face turned slightly cold, and he immediately bowed formally to Jian San: "Thank you, Jian Sanxia. It's good that you're keeping an eye on things. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"
Yesterday, Fu Zhun sent Jian San to the Su family.
Unlike the other members of the Sword Guard, the young Jian San was lively and active, and couldn't sit still. According to Fu Zhun's idea, having Jian San help out at the Su family from time to time would be a way to keep his body active.
I didn't expect that they would be such a big help right away.
The young swordsman, holding his sword with both arms, grinned and said, "Oh, I'm just a guard. I'm only following my master's orders. It's what I should do."
"Well, the master usually complains that I talk too much, but I've already done a great service since I arrived, so there shouldn't be any fault with me now, right?"
Su An had only managed a grateful thank you when Jian San launched into a long, uninterrupted rant, leaving Su An somewhat amused and helpless.
Looking at the disheveled young man lying on the ground, his face bore a six-tenths resemblance to the old man's, but his eyes and brows were full of unyielding stubbornness.
She immediately asked in a cold tone, "Who are you to that old man who caused trouble yesterday?"
The young man was unreliable, but surprisingly had backbone. He raised his chin and snorted, "Chief Craftsman Old Fish is my brother, and I'm his younger brother Little Fish. What can you do about it!"
"Oh ho." Su An curled her lip in anger, "You came to my house to cause trouble, and you still ask me what I want? Are you all dead pigs who aren't afraid of boiling water?!"
"Come on, I'm nothing special. Tell me where that old bastard is hiding, and I'll confront him face to face! What kind of coward is he who dares to do something but not admit it, hiding in a ditch like a rat in the street?"
"You're not allowed to insult my brother!" Xiaoyu clenched her teeth and glared angrily.
"What do you, a mere woman, know? My brother is a top-notch master craftsman! His skills are extraordinary, his craftsmanship is divine, and everything he touches is the most exquisite!"
"We've come here out of goodwill to take over your cement and help you refine it further. This is a blessing for you, so why wouldn't you appreciate it?"
He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, and finally roared at Su An, "You just want to control cement all to yourself, and you're delaying the benefit of the world for your own selfish interests. You narrow-minded woman with long hair and short brains!"
These words completely stunned Su An.
How thick-skinned must one be to so confidently and vehemently oppose the Heavenly Gang?
"So this is what you call morality?"
Su An's forehead throbbed, his gaze colder than a pile of ice, and he said, "Our cement is perfect in every way, and construction has started throughout the county. Do we need your so-called master craftsmen to come and freeload?"
"You say I monopolize the cement? If you have eyes, go out and see for yourself how many refugees joined this project. They had nothing, so they learned a skill to earn a living, and they worked harder and more diligently than anyone else."
"And then look at you people who use your positions for personal gain?" Su An laughed angrily. "You're like dogs that haven't eaten for eight lifetimes, seeing a bone of meat, coming to our door and aggressively demanding to take over the cement, and even attacking the refugees."
"Who exactly is committing such heinous acts, hindering the pursuit of a better world?!"
“You…” Little Fish’s eyes widened, and she froze on the ground, speechless for a moment.
He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find anything wrong with any of Su An's words. Instead, his face turned red and he became confused.
"Is...is that so..." he stammered in astonishment. "Could it be that we were really wrong?"
Seeing his headstrong and indignant appearance, Su An's anger suddenly stopped.
This kid, with his cynical and disillusioned look, actually knows how to reflect?
Maybe they were brainwashed and incited by Lao Yu to come here.
Su An frowned, and sighed with what sounded like a cold laugh, "Forget it, why should I talk so much with a brainless person like you? Since you didn't hurt my family this time, I won't arrest you. Now get out of here!"
"Oh, oh oh..." Little Fish realized what was happening, and without thinking any further, she got up and ran away with a complicated expression.
"Ugh!" Jian San bit his lip unhappily, looking at Su An with a slightly aggrieved expression.
“Miss Su, I captured this person, but I haven’t taken him to the Prince to claim credit yet…”
“…Huh?” Su An blinked blankly.
Suddenly remembering what Jian San had said earlier, she chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Sanxia, I'll put in a good word for you with Fu Zhun. You'll definitely be remembered for this great service."
"But now, I'll have to trouble you to follow that little fish and see if you can find their lair."
Jian San emphasized the words "say nice things," and his eyes lit up: "So it's a long-term strategy to catch a big fish. No wonder the princess is the princess; she's much smarter than me!"
puff.
Just now, I was criticizing Miss Su. If I had spoken well of him, he would have become a princess.
This princess came at a really good price!
Su An blushed and wanted to laugh at the same time, waving her hands repeatedly: "You can say whatever you want, but you can't call someone whatever you want. I can't take that responsibility."
Jian San, being a shrewd young man, smiled in a suggestive and ingratiating way, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm not calling you that randomly. Who can challenge Your Highness's position now? If I said it wasn't the Prince, he would be the first to disagree!"
Su An suddenly felt an urge to stomp her feet and cover her face. How come this Jian San is even more mischievous than her own third brother?
No wonder Fu Zhun would be disgusted.
Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a wheelchair entering the courtyard.
Fu Zhun arrived unnoticed, leaning on his wheelchair as he approached Jian San from behind, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked, "What's all this commotion about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian San's cheerful shouts paused for a moment, and then he chuckled and stepped aside.
"Your Highness, you've arrived. How could I possibly cause trouble in front of the Princess? I've always been well-behaved!"
Upon hearing the title "Princess," Fu Zhun pursed his lips slightly, his dark eyes looking at Su An with a hint of eagerness.
Su An's cheeks flushed, her gaze drifting elsewhere: "This child, he's just making noise for fun..."
Jian San retorted unhappily, "How can it be called nonsense? The prince thinks of Miss Su every day and never thinks of any other woman, which is enough to show that Miss Su is definitely our future princess."
"You, you'd better hurry up and chase after them, or they'll get away!" Su An said, biting her lip.
Jian San immediately winked at her, signaling her not to forget to say nice things, and then flashed away, leaping across the rooftops and running away.
The experts always leave quickly, leaving behind a beautiful and enchanting atmosphere in the courtyard.
Su An clenched his fists, his smile incredibly awkward. "Hehe... Fu Zhun, you were right. That kid just chatters with anyone he can get his hands on, and he's just being overly enthusiastic."
"But it's all thanks to him. We caught one of the troublemakers, and I've already sent him to track down their hideout..."
“Su An.” Fu Zhun’s throat bobbed slightly, and his eyes, fixed on her, surged with an undercurrent. “Although Jian San talks a lot, he has said everything I wanted to say.”
"I do like it..."
