Chapter Seventy-Eight: Gratitude Must Be Repaid



Mo Lan gripped the pointer in her hand and looked Qin Su up and down. "That guy named Tingyu should have told you, right? I have absolutely no interest in your so-called gratitude. Even if you came, the result would be the same."

Hearing the other person's disdainful tone and the way they shooed away flies, Qin Su, hiding her eyes behind her mask, raised a slight brow.

Why must you, young lady, refuse someone's kind offer?

"Because it's not necessary." Mo Lan looked at the night sky. After eavesdropping for so long, she was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Seeing Mo Lan's impatient attitude, Qin Su silently curved the corners of his lips, "I might believe you when you said you didn't need me during the day, but after tonight, I think you will need my help."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Qin Su's tone, Mo Lan suddenly gripped the pointer in her hand. What did this guy mean? Could it be...?

Thinking of a certain possibility, Mo Lan stared at the deep eyes behind the mask, her expression wary. If he said anything that displeased her, she could kill him at any time.

It's nothing more than using weapons.

"My meaning is very clear: you saved us once, and I can save you once in return. It's a perfect match, one for the other."

Qin Su was taken aback when he saw the sudden surge of killing intent emanating from the woman in front of him. Was she really that terrifying?

If Tingyu hadn't kept mentioning it, he wouldn't have suddenly decided to come out and take a look.

Who would have thought this girl would be so bold, not only sneaking into the princess's mansion at night, but also eavesdropping on people's conversations in the middle of the night.

When they arrived at the Chen family's house, they became even more arrogant, even emptying out the Chen family's study.

Cough cough... Although I don't know how she did it, it doesn't hinder my judgment. Also, the illusion that suddenly appeared in the study is strange in every way.

Driven by curiosity, he followed him down street after street.

Looking into those seemingly all-knowing eyes, Mo Lan's heart sank, and her own wariness intensified.

"You saw everything?"

When someone pointed it out, Qin Su looked embarrassed, but thankfully he had a mask on.

To be honest, his behavior today was unusual enough for him.

"I've seen everything I was supposed to see, and I haven't seen anything I wasn't supposed to see." Qin Su looked at Mo Lan and said softly, "Everyone has secrets, right?"

"Actually, I didn't mean anything by it. No matter what, we've been kind to you, and now you're in trouble..."

Before Qin Su could finish speaking, Mo Lan interrupted her, "I said I don't need it, and please don't interfere in anything I do."

"You've done so much tonight, do you really think the Chen family will just sit idly by? Even if Jiang Mian doesn't stand up for him, he'll do everything in his power to hunt you down."

Moving someone else's private treasury is tantamount to cutting off their escape route. It would be strange if the Chen family could swallow this insult.

"Help me? My friend, it's not that I look down on you, but for now, I think you should worry about yourself. Compared to you, my little trouble is really nothing."

Thinking of those assassins, Mo Lan looked at Qin Su with a mocking gaze. He was already too busy taking care of himself to pretend.

Looking at Mo Lan's teasing gaze, Qin Su felt a little embarrassed, as if someone had seen through his thoughts and he couldn't hide them.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to speak to me so bluntly, and with such a disdainful attitude.

Sure enough, a tiger fallen into the plains is... cough cough, the metaphor isn't quite right!
