County Magistrate He was now in a dilemma. If he let him go, he felt a little reluctant, but if he didn't, he felt that Boss Gu wouldn't get away with it so easily. Until now, there was still no result.
Finally, the Gu family couldn't bear it anymore and asked Boss Gu's son to ask County Magistrate He to release the person.
Zheng Chengyun knew the whole story and had some ideas in mind. He continued chatting with County Magistrate He with a smile.
From Zheng Chengyun's actions, County Magistrate He probably understood that Zheng Chengyun might have taken a fancy to Boss Gu's son. He smiled knowingly and was willing to help Zheng Chengyun.
After all, Zheng Chengyun is a well-known figure in the Zhang family. Even Zhang Shaoqi has to listen to him. It is a pleasant surprise to be able to establish a good relationship with Zheng Chengyun.
"Brother Zheng, are you interested in this young man?" asked County Magistrate He with a smile.
Zheng Chengyun did not hide the fact that he was a little dazed when recalling Qingyan's appearance and said, "Yes, she does look a bit like an old friend."
As for who the old friend was, County Magistrate He was very tactful and did not ask any further. He just told Zheng Chengyun to let him know if he needed any help.
Zheng Chengyun laughed out loud, stood up, and bowed, "Thank you very much, Magistrate He, for your help."
"That's fine, it's not a big deal. Besides, for a merchant's son like him to be favored by Brother Zheng is a real blessing from his ancestors."
After the two of them complimented each other, Zheng Chengyun stood up and left.
After returning to his residence, Zheng Chengyun called his confidant and asked him to personally investigate Qingyan's background.
Although I know that County Magistrate He would not lie to me, it is still better to be cautious in such matters.
The next day, Qingyan was waiting at Magistrate He's house again. This time, Zheng Chengyun was observing from behind. His confidant found out that there was indeed no problem with Qingyan's identity, and his father had indeed offended Magistrate He, and it was not someone who deliberately approached him with ulterior motives.
He was just a young man who was eager to save his father. Looking at his face that was somewhat similar to Su Guijun, Zheng Chengyun could no longer suppress the beast in his heart, and his eyes were deep and terrifying as he looked at Qingyan.
But it’s not the right time yet. Zheng Chengyun can still clearly distinguish between a favor of helping someone in need and a favor of adding icing on the cake.
He still preferred to see people struggling in desperate situations and having to turn to him for help, as this would increase his chances of getting Qingyan.
"Let's go, let's go back." After watching for a while, Zheng Chengyun went back. If he waited one more day, Qingyan would be his.
Qingyan lowered his head and could feel a gaze coming from inside the door, so he tensed up and didn't dare show any abnormality.
It seems that the plan is half successful. He has successfully attracted Zheng Chengyun's attention, and it was worth his days of basking in the sun.
Feeling the gaze disappear from her, Qingyan whispered, "Linglong, let's go."
Linglong fanned herself anxiously. Suddenly, she heard her master's words and her eyes widened: "Huh? But Master, our time is not up yet..."
"No need to wait, let's go back." Qingyan stretched her sore legs and turned back first.
Although Linglong was confused, he always did whatever his master said. Since his master decided to go back, he must have his own ideas.
The next day, Qingyan put on some haggard makeup on herself. Although she looked very haggard, she was still beautiful and satisfied. After a while, he took Linglong and set off for the doorstep of County Magistrate He. It was estimated that today would be the last day.
Sure enough, he had only been standing there for a short time today, and before the gatekeeper could persuade him, Zheng Chengyun arrived at the residence of County Magistrate He in a carriage.
When passing by Qingyan, Qingyan just glanced at him and turned her head away, treating him as an unimportant person.
Zheng Chengyun clenched the fan in his hand, a kind smile on his face: "Is this young man here to see the county magistrate?"
Qingyan rolled her eyes secretly and couldn't help but complain nonsense, otherwise why would I be standing here?
But with a hint of weakness, a hint of strength, and a hint of coldness on her face, she said, "Yes."
Zheng Chengyun didn't mind Qingyan's indifference and waved the paper fan in his hand a few times: "I have some friendship with the county magistrate, maybe I can help you with this, but..."
Zheng Chengyun looked Qingyan up and down as he spoke. Qingyan felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and leaned back, "No need to bother with that, Your Excellency."
As he was about to leave with Linglong, Zheng Chengyun waved his hand and his subordinates immediately blocked Qingyan's way.
Qingyan's face was grim and her voice trembled slightly: "Do you have any other questions, sir?"
Zheng Chengyun jumped off the carriage, walked to Qingyan's side, reached out to lift a strand of hair and sniffed it. A faint floral fragrance came, and the emotions in Zheng Chengyun's eyes became more turbulent.
"Nothing, I just wanted to buy you a cup of tea."
"No, I have something else to do..."
Zheng Chengyun reached out his hand to stop Qingyan from speaking: "I don't like others rejecting me. Mr. Qingyan, please get in the car."
After saying that, he got on the carriage first. Qingyan turned around and clenched her fists. Zheng Chengyun's men also surrounded the two of them and said coldly, "Sir, please get on the carriage. Don't keep Master Zheng waiting anxiously."
Linglong was so scared that she almost cried. She held Qingyan tightly and didn't dare to speak.
Qingyan took a deep breath before lifting her skirt and getting into the car. Linglong grabbed her and said, "Master..."
"It's okay, Linglong, don't worry, we will be fine. Can you brothers let my little servant go back first?"
The subordinates still had no expression on their faces and just pushed the two of them into the car as quickly as possible.
There was no choice but for both of them to get on the carriage. Fearing that Zheng Chengyun would do something bad to their young master, Linglong protected Qingyan tightly behind her like a hen protecting her chicks as soon as she got on the carriage.
Zheng Chengyun drank his tea calmly, looking at the master and servant with a deep gaze.
Linglong couldn't help swallowing, but she didn't retreat at all, and even glared at him fiercely.
Qingyan pulled Linglong back and asked him to sit down, then asked, "What does this gentleman mean?"
Zheng Chengyun heard Qingyan speak and said softly: "I said, I can help you with your problem. As for the price of helping you, it depends on whether you can accept it. Of course, even if you don't accept it..."
Zheng Chengyun laughed as he spoke, and his meaning was very clear: if they accepted his help, both of them would be happy, but if they didn't accept it, it didn't matter, as he was afraid that he would still fall into his hands, and the ending would not be so good then.
Qingyan's expression suddenly turned embarrassed and angry, but she didn't dare to speak because of Zheng Chengyun's identity. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the police?"
Hearing about reporting to the police, Zheng Chengyun's whisper got louder: "Hahahaha, report to the police? Young Master Qingyan is really naive. Your father has been imprisoned by the county magistrate. How can you report to the police? And even if you go to report to the police, do you think you still have a chance?"
