Jiang Xiaochen was slightly puzzled. What had turned this little girl into this? Her sharp and edgy demeanor puzzled him greatly.
Zhong Yan didn't care about his gaze. If she could do it all over again, she would have said long ago that she would protect herself and never meddle in other people's business. In this life, she would not speak lightly or believe easily.
Seeing his furious expression, she pushed him away with a little force.
"General Chiang must be very busy. In that case, I won't waste your time."
"You really won't help me?" Jiang Xiaochen grabbed her hand, somewhat helplessly. This girl was guarding against him like he was a wolf!
“No.” Zhong Yan said firmly, enunciating each word clearly: “General Jiang, the fact that you’ve come to us proves that this matter is not so simple.”
Moreover, since Jiang Xiaochen wanted her grandmother to help him, she might as well tell him that there was no way he would agree to it. In contrast, even if she were to take the risk herself, Zhong Yan was unwilling to drag her grandmother into it.
In this life, Zhong Yan will do everything in her power to keep her grandmother alive and let her die a natural death. As for things like catching ghosts, she will take care of that herself.
Jiang Xiaochen was helpless. She didn't even bother to explain. She just looked at him with a wary expression, as if he were an irredeemable villain.
What's going on?
"Name your terms."
"What did you say?" Zhong Yan was taken aback. Was he trying to bribe her with money? Did she look like someone who was very poor? But, she had to admit, his judgment was really good.
Right now, isn't she very poor? Isn't she short of money?
Jiang Xiaochen was speechless when he saw her eyes light up. Just as he was wondering if he had misunderstood something he said earlier, she held up one finger and a big smile appeared on her lips.
"What's the meaning?"
"One hundred thousand."
"What did you say?"
"I'll take the case for just 100,000," Zhong Yan said quite seriously. Actually, she was a little uneasy. Could it be that the price she asked for was too high, and that's why he wasn't willing to accept it?
These days, 100,000 is still quite a lot of money.
What if he refuses to give it to me?
Jiang Xiaochen was somewhat surprised, followed by helplessness. Did she know how much her promise was worth? Could it be measured in money?
Moreover, he said it was under any conditions.
Zhong Yan glanced at him furtively and said, "Well, okay! If you're not willing to give me more, I can ask for less. That's not impossible."
Jiang Xiaochen sighed helplessly, his brows furrowing deeply: "Ten thousand it is, I can give it to you now."
Zhong Yan shook her head, appearing very principled. Since it was for making money, she didn't need to avoid it. There was no rush after the matter was resolved.
Unbeknownst to her, deep down, Zhong Yan believed that Jiang Xiaochen would not renege on his debt; she would never have agreed to return it to anyone else.
Jiang Xiaochen remained silent. To be honest, he couldn't quite understand this girl. Logically speaking, she shouldn't recognize him, yet she could accurately call out his name.
He may seem greedy, but he is actually very principled and has strong convictions.
"Let's go."
"Where to?" Zhong Yan paused for a moment, then patted her head. "Not now. I need to prepare some things. Also, you need to tell me the details of the case. You don't want to go there clueless, do you? But you're a soldier, and you actually believe in this stuff..."
