Everyone looked at the man in black who had died, and then looked at Shen Qingru with a perverse smile, and they were all silent.
It’s no use reporting to the police now.
The criminal was already dead, and Shen Qingru obviously wouldn't confess.
Jiang Ling walked to Zhou Jing'an's side, looked up at him and said, "Even if we report it to the police, they won't find out anything, and it will only cause a lot of trouble."
Zhou Jing'an lowered his eyes to look at her.
The little face was pale, and the tears that had just been shed due to fright had been blown away by the wind, leaving only tear marks.
She looked at him, and although there was a flash of grievance and unwillingness in her eyes, she pretended to be relaxed and said to him, "Forget it, let's just keep our distance from each other from now on."
It seemed like Zhou Jing'an realized for the first time that Jiang Ling's character was not just arrogant and outspoken, but that she would also be willing to compromise and consider the overall situation.
[Ding~ The male protagonist's favorability value increased by two points. The current favorability value is 0.]
Jiang Ling, who had already lowered her head, secretly raised her eyebrows and curled up her lips.
Boy, you didn't expect she had this side.
Wu Wanying seemed unwilling, but they had not suffered any actual harm and now the evidence was gone. Reporting the case to the police rashly would not solve the problem at all.
I had no choice but to agree: "That's the only way."
Cheng An stepped forward, his face stern, and said, "Shen Qingru, today's matter ends here. From now on, we will go our way and you go your way. No one should bother with each other."
"Similarly, if you refuse to accept my toast and insist on making a fight to the death, we will also fight to the end." If you still want to harm Ling'er, don't blame her for being rude.
Although Jiang Ling still looked a little scared, he said seriously, "If you want to attack us again in the future, it will not just be a matter between you and me."
She was saying, if you want to kill me again, then I'll have to tell my dad.
"Also, I'm not someone you can easily bully. I won't have any contact with you in the future, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you." Jiang Ling raised her chin, revealing some of her original arrogant look.
Shen Qingru narrowed her eyes slightly. Was this a challenge to her?
She lost this time, but that might not be the case next time.
But in Zhou Jing'an's eyes, Jiang Ling's little hands were still clenched tightly because of nervousness and fear, but when she raised her head, she looked like a little beast with its fangs and claws bared.
He frowned slightly. He was so weak, yet he still made a domineering declaration. It was really...
What did you say? You're not someone you can easily bully? Then who was the one who was so frightened that he fell to the ground and lay motionless.
Zhou Jing'an looked at her stubborn back, her hair disheveled from the recent struggle, and a tuft of hair on her head fluttering in the wind, and suddenly smiled.
Inexplicably cute.
[Ding~ The male protagonist's favorability value increased by two points. The current favorability value is 0.]
Oh hoo?
The little guy in Jiang Ling's heart was like a victorious female general, proudly standing with his hands on his hips and a smug look on his face.
Then he curled his lips in frustration and cried out silently, "How bad is this kid's impression of his original self? He still hasn't made up for the negative number!"
Shen Qingru lowered her head silently, her tone cold: "Okay, let's keep our distance."
At this time, Jingzhao Yin Zhao Xiang hurried over with the yamen runners. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in the courtyard, and then asked people to protect the scene.
Although they were all young men and women from wealthy families, they had no official status and no rank, and they all bowed to Zhao Xiang.
Zhou Jing'an stepped forward and explained the situation, but because of the result of the discussion just now, he skipped the part about Shen Qingru. He only said that the two men in black were about to attack Shen Qingru and Jiang Ling, and they had no intention of rescuing them, so the two men in black then committed suicide.
Zhao Xiang took the suspects' bodies and the murder weapons, which were the knives in their hands, back for the coroner to examine. He also asked the young men and women present to go back with them to register their statements.
Hearing that something happened here, a group of onlookers had gathered outside Liuyun Garden, all craning their necks to look inside.
Wu Wanying's maid also hurried over to find her, and Qi Tianyang and Zhou Jing'an's followers also rushed over to find their own masters.
In response to Ye Song and Ye Bai's concerned inquiries, Zhou Jing'an shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Ye Song and Ye Bai are his personal servants who have followed him since childhood. Both of them are skilled in martial arts and can be considered his guards.
He moved close to the two of them and whispered to Ye Song to do something, and Ye Bai just had to follow him to the government office in the capital.
After receiving the order, Ye Song quickly left and disappeared into the crowd.
Several people followed Lord Zhao back to the government office. As soon as they reached the door, Meng Wanjie ran over and hugged Jiang Ling.
She looked it up and down several times before she felt relieved. Her eyes were red, and she felt distressed and angry: "You scared me to death."
Jiang Ling looked at her tearful eyes, and suddenly her heart softened. She hugged her and coaxed her with a smile: "Mom, Ling'er is fine, look, this is fine."
Meng Wanjie scolded her a few more times, and when she saw Zhao Xiang looking at her, she hurried over to greet him.
When Zhao Xiang saw her, he immediately bowed and greeted her.
The Jingzhao Yin was a second-rank civil official in the court, and because of Jiang Lianshan, Meng Wanjie was granted the title of first-rank lady several years ago.
So Zhao Xiang should greet her when he saw her.
However, Meng Wanjie also performed a half bow to show respect.
Zhao Xiang led everyone into the government office, and Meng Wanjie followed. As they walked, he told Jiang Ling to bring more guards with him when he went out in the future.
Yes, the information we have received outside is that the two gangsters who smashed things in Qingfeng Teahouse earlier appeared in Liuyun Garden today, and almost hurt the legitimate daughter of Prince Jingnan and the legitimate daughter of Minister Shen.
This time there were not only two people, but also four accomplices who caused trouble in the Jin Xiangyu shop and smashed and robbed Ronghua Street, both of which caused chaos and almost injured people.
