Chapter 19: The Long-Planned Assassination
"Miss Qinghan, this is your sister, right?"
Jiang Lan's gaze fell, swept across Su Changkong, the patriarch of the Su family, and then stopped on Su Qingyao who was beside him.
"Yes."
Su Qinghan replied softly, with her eyes lowered. Her white skirt fluttered in the breeze, making her look unusually calm.
Jiang Lan smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'm curious. Isn't your sister here? Why are you so sure that I sent someone to kidnap her? Could it be that in your Su family's eyes, I am such a person who does evil, despises the imperial power, and tramples on the law?"
The expressions of everyone in the Su family, including Su Changkong, changed, and many people were terrified.
Once this accusation is made, the Su family will be almost finished today.
Many of them had no idea what was going on, why the son-in-law Lin Fan appeared here and caused such a big fuss.
Su Changkong gritted his teeth and quickly explained, "Mr. Jiang misunderstood. No one in the Su family ever thought so. This is all a misunderstanding."
"Qingyao was actually taken away by a mysterious fairy with a veil covering her face. The fairy was very powerful and happened to pass by Yuyi City. Seeing that Qingyao had good aptitude, she wanted to forcibly bring her back to the sect for training."
"Later, because Qingyao was too resistant and didn't want to be taken away like this, the fairy had no choice but to send her back to the Su family. Before leaving, the fairy also left a token so that Qingyao could use the token to find her in the future..."
After his explanation, Zhao Tianhe and others understood that it actually had nothing to do with Jiang Lan.
He took the blame for the mysterious fairy and brought himself into trouble.
"You actually misunderstood him? This is not normal..."
Zhao Dieyi was also a little stunned and found it hard to believe.
Although she had no good feelings towards Jiang Lan, she was a reasonable person and knew that Lin Fan was indeed not in the right in this matter.
Although Lin Fan was trying hard to remain calm, the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.
In fact, because he clenched his fists too tightly, his bony fingers turned pale.
He simply didn't believe that this could be such a coincidence.
In front of the Snow Moon Pavilion, Jiang Lan's guards blocked the way and did not allow anyone to enter. They even shouted that no one was allowed to disturb their young master's good deeds...
Isn't this obviously telling everyone that he was the one who kidnapped Su Qingyao?
Could it be that Jiang Lan did it on purpose?
At this moment, even Zhao Tianhe, who wanted to protect Lin Fan, fell silent and was at a loss for words.
Even if he wanted to protect Lin Fan, he couldn't. The situation was already so unfavorable. If he dared to say a few more words, he would probably be regarded as going against the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Who knew that there would be such coincidences in this world? Jiang Lan had just arrived in Yuyi City when the second young lady of the Su family was kidnapped from the academy.
But Jiang Lan has a bad reputation. He dares to bully men and women in the capital of Daxia and even looks down on the royal family.
Coming to a small place like Yuyi City, wouldn't he become even more lawless? Isn't it normal to rob women?
The second young lady of the Su family, Su Qingyao, is pure and beautiful. She is a stunning beauty whose talent and reputation are well-known within a radius of thousands of miles.
This makes people suspect that he was the one who sent people to kidnap him.
Jiang Lan put down his teacup, stood up and walked out of the pavilion, his handsome but slightly pale face showing a hint of self-mockery.
"Once this person's prejudice becomes deeply rooted, will even breathing become wrong?"
"Who told you to do so many bad things..."
These words made Zhao Dieyi's voice weaken, and he was a little hesitant, not knowing what to say.
Maybe it was because he realized that he was a little weak now.
She suddenly raised her snow-white, slender neck again, and said in a firm tone, "Don't try to clear your name. In my eyes, you are a shameless villain who is so bad that pus is flowing out."
Just now, Jiang Lan wanted her to go and stay with him for a few days in front of her grandfather, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt a little soft-hearted towards him.
Zhao Dieyi wanted to pinch herself hard to wake herself up.
Jiang Lan smiled nonchalantly, "Wash yourself? I am pure as ice and jade, and my ambition is to reach the sky, so why should I wash myself?"
There was undisguised contempt in Zhao Dieyi's bright and clear eyes.
Does he believe what he said?
It's fine if he deceives himself, but he wants to deceive everyone? Go to the imperial capital Jingyang City and ask which young lady would not be so scared that she would quickly hide back home when she heard his name, for fear of being targeted by him.
Jiang Lan continued leisurely, "As for the incident of flirting with Miss Qinghan, it is also completely false."
"We are innocent and upright, talking about love and drinking tea together, but I don't know which law of the Great Xia that I have violated, so that Brother Lin wants to kill me right away?"
"I think the anger is fake, but the intention to assassinate me is real. My father has worked hard for the Great Xia Dynasty over the years, but he has also been assassinated many times. Although I am far less talented than my father, I have encountered many assassinations over the years..."
"Moreover, I learned from Miss Qinghan that this Brother Lin has been hiding in Yuyi City for many years, treating himself as a useless son-in-law. He has faced many insults, insults, contempt and ridicules, but he has always been happy with it. He has never revealed his true cultivation level. What is his purpose?"
"If Uncle Ying hadn't protected my safety in secret, I would have been killed by Brother Lin today."
At this point, Jiang Lan's tone became somewhat intriguing.
"If all this is a coincidence, then I want to know why the second young lady of the Su family was kidnapped right after I arrived in Yuyi City? And why did everyone think that I was the one who sent someone to kidnap her? Did that just give you such a reason to take action?"
"If I die in your hands today, will the Second Miss of the Su Mansion disappear from the face of the earth completely? And there will be no evidence?"
When these words were spoken, even Uncle Ying, who was holding a sword in front of Jiang Lan to protect his safety at all times, was stunned.
Then he reacted, a strong murderous intent appeared on his face, and he stared at Lin Fan.
If Jiang Lan hadn't suddenly said this, he probably wouldn't have been able to react to the many strange things and coincidences contained in today's events.
So many coincidences and coincidences put together are very suspicious.
The expressions of the people here also changed drastically, and some were surprised and confused.
