Chapter 118 From Bodyguard to Farmer

Could it be that Yang Liu has some shady dealings with these two men?

Just as Jiang Mi was about to teach them a lesson, a person suddenly appeared behind her. He kicked the two men away and landed lightly on the ground, dusting himself off.

"Huo Ran?" Jiang Mi exclaimed in surprise. What was he doing here?

Huo Ran turned around and glanced at Jiang Mi, saying, "I was on my way to your house when I passed by and heard some foul language. Since some people don't want their tongues anymore, they might as well cut them off."

The two men hadn't expected to encounter such a powerful person, and they immediately clutched their chests and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Master, we know we were wrong, and we will never do it again."

Yang Liu trembled with fear upon seeing this scene. She hurriedly said, "I told you long ago that Honey isn't that kind of person. You're still talking nonsense. Honey and I are best friends. I know her better than anyone."

Jiang Mi was once again shocked by her shamelessness.

"How dare you say such a thing? You were the one who brought it up first, Yang Liu. We're not even in the same village anymore. Why are you still so persistent with me? Are you jealous of me?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Liu's face turned pale: "What am I jealous of? I'm prettier than you, and I have a better figure than you. What's there to be jealous of?"

She glanced at Huo Ran again and found that this man was the most handsome she had ever seen, and his skills were also excellent. He seemed to have a powerful background, but she didn't know why Jiang Mi had snatched him away. Why did all the good things happen to Jiang Mi?

"Honey, I know you envy me, which is why you had a problem with me later. But it's also true that you were kidnapped by bad guys. I brought this up earlier because I was worried about you. You misunderstood me."

Ignoring her words, Jiang Mi went up and slapped Yang Liu hard across the face.

"Although I don't have evidence right now that you and Sun Qinwan are in cahoots, you just wait until I find it!"

Yang Liusheng took a slap from Jiang Mi, but she didn't retaliate. Her fair face bulged up, showing that Jiang Mi hadn't held back at all.

"Honey, if you're angry, just hit me. It's okay. I know you must feel wronged. No woman could accept something like that. But it's over now, so don't think about it anymore. There will be a good man who won't look down on you."

Yang Liu is deliberately trying to smear her.

Just as Jiang Mi was about to make a move, Huo Ran suddenly spoke up.

“I was the one who rescued Miss Jiang that day. She is innocent. Please don’t talk nonsense. You should know that your casual words could very well cost someone their life. As a woman, it’s better to be kind-hearted.”

After Huo Ran finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Mi away from the place. It was not worth wasting energy and getting angry over such a person.

Yang Liu glared at them resentfully from behind. What kind of bewitching drug did Jiang Mi give this man? Why did he trust her so much? No way! What Jiang Mi has, Yang Liu will have too! There is no man in this world she can't get!

"Young Master Huo, what are you doing here?"

After walking a short distance, he suddenly released Jiang Mi's wrist, knowing that it would be bad for her reputation if others saw them.

"I've been counting down the days, and the sweet potatoes should be almost ripe, so I came here specifically to check. If they're ripe, I'll have them all taken away, and you'll receive every last penny of the silver notes I promised you."

The moment silver notes were mentioned, Jiang Mi's eyes immediately lit up.

"The workers in the field have already started harvesting today. It will probably take six or seven days. Are you in a hurry?"

Huo Ran shook his head: "We've already waited so long, what's one more day or two?"

The soldiers at the front have been running out of food. If only they could get it faster. He knew that Jiang Mi was already doing her best, so he didn't urge them.

"Then I'll come another day? Or do you need any extra help? I can send someone to help you without paying them, since we need them urgently too."

Jiang Mi thought for a moment and said, "If you're in a hurry, you can send someone over; that would be faster."

Huo Ran nodded, then gave a wink to someone in the shadows. The bodyguard who had been silently protecting Huo Ran immediately looked distressed.

"Master is going too far! It's one thing to make us protect other people, but why are we being forced to do farm work? I'm supposed to be one of the top ten experts..."

Another person said, "Alright, stop complaining and hurry up, or you'll be late and your master will punish you."

The guards sighed and waved their hands. Many people emerged from the shadows. They were all highly skilled and could remain hidden from everyone's sight. They would appear immediately if Huo Ran needed them.

"I just happened to bring some people with me, so let them go and help."

Jiang Mi stared in shock at the group of people who had suddenly appeared. There was no one here just now, so when did so many people come? And these people were all dressed in black in broad daylight, which was even a bit eerie!

"Are these...all your people?"

Huo Ran seemed to find it a bit strange as well. He said calmly, "Yes, I asked them to come and help. Just ask them for whatever you need. Don't be shy."

"Haha..." Jiang Mi laughed awkwardly. These people had a different aura and looked very powerful. They were just handed over to her to do things like that?

"So...can you do farm work?"

The one leading the group was Bai Lousheng, who had been complaining the whole time. He had never been questioned before, so he quickly said, "Of course we can. It's such a simple thing. Even if we don't have the experience, we can figure it out at a glance."

"That's good. Then come with me."

Jiang Mi saw that each of them was in great shape and looked very strong. At this rate, the sweet potatoes in the field should be ready for harvest in two days.

When Jiang Mi and Huo Ran arrived at the field with this group of people, Jiang's mother and Jiang Cheng had the same expression as Jiang Mi at the beginning.

"Honey, this is..."

Huo Ran took the initiative to speak, saying, "I heard that the sweet potatoes are ripe, so I brought people to help."

"Oh, I see. We've already harvested one-seventh of it today. What are you all going to do?"

It wasn't that Jiang's mother suspected them, but these people didn't look like they knew how to do farm work at all; calling them thugs would be more fitting.

"Yes, we all will!" Bai Lousheng said, leading the way.

Jiang Mi instructed them, "Then you must be careful and not damage these sweet potatoes, otherwise they won't last long. Spoiled sweet potatoes can't be stored for more than a few days."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on those people's faces became much more serious.
