Zhong Yan was speechless. She helped him out of consideration for their friendship, so how could she possibly ask for money? Besides, if she wasn't mistaken, it was the little fox who had just protected her.
However, she didn't know the specific reason.
After Jiang Xiaochen left, he pulled out the little fox and interrogated him thoroughly.
"Ahem, Mr. Jiang, please leave first, our transaction will continue."
“I think it’s better to cancel. In the first place, I shouldn’t have taken you into danger. I’ll find someone else to handle the case,” Jiang Xiaochen said calmly, since he couldn’t bear to see her get hurt anyway.
However, the money issue...
Zhong Yan's expression changed slightly. How could she not see the threat he was threatening? Besides, he had indeed said earlier that he wouldn't let her get involved in the case. But things had come to this point, and it was no longer up to her to simply say she wouldn't get involved.
“Mr. Jiang, I’m not afraid to tell you that, looking at the whole of Linjiang, there is no one more outstanding than me.”
"Your maternal grandmother..."
“My maternal grandmother is too old to get involved in these matters anymore.” Since Zhong Yan had made up her mind, she would not let her grandmother get involved in these things anymore. Moreover, the Zhong family has always had an ancestral rule that once a successor is found, her grandmother can retire.
Unfortunately, she didn't live to see that day until her death in her previous life.
Jiang Xiaochen was speechless, choked by her words. Personally, he really didn't want her to continue getting involved in the case, but realistically, the case was there and couldn't be left unsolved.
In particular, she had a very confident look on her face.
He's a little stressed.
Qin Huai's eyes flickered slightly, but he said slowly and deliberately, "Zhong Yan, whatever decision you make, I will support you. However, wherever you go, you must take me with you."
As he spoke, he took a step back, looking at him with a doting expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochen's face turned even worse, and he took a deep breath.
Qin Huai glanced at him with a sly look and continued, "Mr. Jiang, can you leave now? Staying here any longer is not good for anyone."
Zhong Yan felt the same way. They were from completely different worlds, so there was no need for them to get involved, especially considering his previous attitude, which made her a little flustered.
Jiang Xiaochen's gaze fell on her face, and he saw that her brows were full of coldness, and she had no intention of saying anything to stop him. At that moment, he suddenly felt that his life was quite gloomy.
This girl clearly doesn't care about me.
"Zhong Yan, do you want me to leave too?"
"..."
"Didn't you listen to what I said?" Jiang Xiaochen frowned. This was the first time he had ever been so interested in a woman. How could she not be moved?
"..."
"You like this pretty boy." When Jiang Xiaochen saw her subconsciously dodge to the side, he instantly felt terrible. With a gloomy expression, he walked up to her and pressed closer step by step.
Zhong Yan felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't even considered the matter of liking or disliking someone, and with his aggressive attitude, how was she supposed to answer?
Could it be that he has truly made up his mind about himself?
This realization sent chills down her spine, making her feel completely unwell.
Qin Huai stepped forward, blocking her way: "Enough! Mr. Jiang, what kind of skill is it to make things difficult for a woman?"
