Chapter 105 You're the Butler, Who Am I?
The car window slowly rolled down, and a middle-aged man in a suit in the passenger seat looked over with a puzzled expression.
Tu Yao immediately ran over, panting, and said, "Uncle! Someone is chasing me! They're trying to steal my wild ginseng! Help!"
Inside the car, everyone's eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the girl in front of them.
She was dressed in a simple yellow outfit, and her wrist, which was resting on the car window, was quite thin. However, she was very pretty, with round, bright eyes that were particularly endearing.
Sure enough, two square-faced men ran up behind her.
"Don't run!"
Butler Jiang turned around and asked, "Grandma?"
The car was extended, and the back seat was somewhat dimly lit, so one could only vaguely make out a slender figure with a straight back.
An aged yet resounding voice rang out.
"...Help her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two bodyguards who were waiting in the front seat immediately got out of the car with practiced ease. They took a few quick steps and, just as the two men caught up, skillfully apprehended the man!
"Hey! Who are you! What are you doing! Let me go!"
Tu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called out through the car window, "Thank you!"
The two men immediately tried to break free, but it was as if a clever force was binding them, preventing them from exerting any strength.
One of the men looked up and saw that it was just an ordinary minivan; a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"I am the Jiang family's butler!"
"This is a private matter between us. Be sensible and don't interfere!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining passengers in the van all looked at the passenger seat with some surprise.
Even the bodyguards holding the two men exchanged strange glances.
Tu Yao immediately retorted, "He's not the Jiang family's butler. He's lying. Don't believe him!"
"I've already had my brother call the police! They'll be here to arrest you soon!"
The two men panicked when the police were mentioned.
"...So you deliberately let that cripple down there just now?!"
Tu Yao fell silent for a moment, then squatted down, her face cold as she threatened, word by word:
"...Don't you dare say he's crippled, or I'll beat you up!"
The two men were visibly embarrassed and angry, and turned to continue shouting, "Don't listen to this brat's nonsense! I am the Jiang family's steward. Let go of her now and I won't pursue the matter!"
Inside the van, the old man frowned almost imperceptibly.
"Li Qing".
The middle-aged man in the passenger seat immediately nodded, opened the car door, and walked steadily toward the two people on the ground.
The square-faced man, still shouting, instinctively tried to back away, but was grabbed by the bodyguard.
"What...what do you want to do! Let me tell you, if you don't let me go, the Jiang family will not let you off the hook!"
The middle-aged man was wearing a simply tailored suit, and the white silk gloves on his hands were folded together as his hands were clasped together.
His gaze was solemn, and his voice was refined: "You said... you are the Jiang family's butler?"
"certainly!"
After he finished speaking, he politely bent down.
"...If you're the Jiang family's butler, then who am I?"
The man on the ground froze instantly.
Tu Yao suddenly looked up: Hmm?
She blinked and immediately noticed the distinctive clan crest embroidered pattern on his chest...
I couldn't help but open my mouth.
...Tu Xiaomao, you'll hit the jackpot!
Several more people got off the car quickly, tied up the two who were completely dumbfounded, and then stood guard to one side.
Butler Jiang turned around and looked over.
"Our matriarch invites you."
Tu Yao pointed to herself: "Me?"
Butler Jiang nodded: "Get in the car."
Tu Yao stood up, slowly walked to the outside of the van, thought for a moment, patted her trouser legs which were covered in dust from running all the way, and wiped the sweat from her head.
Butler Jiang opened the car door.
Unlike the dimness just now, the car was now brightly lit, and Tu Yao looked up.
A mahogany tea board separated the front and back of the car. At the very back of the car sat an elderly woman with silver hair, wearing a black cheongsam and a gentle updo, but her eyes were unusually sharp.
His every gesture exudes an aura honed through decades of experience.
For a moment, Tu Yao felt as if she had seen an aged phoenix.
The old man smiled and waved: "Come here."
Tu Yao slowly walked over, sat down opposite her, and spoke first: "...Hello, my name is Tu Xiaomao, thank you and those uncles for helping me."
"Is there something you need from me?"
Madam Jiang looked kindly at him: "Don't be nervous."
"You just mentioned that you seemed to have figured out they weren't from the Jiang family a long time ago?"
"I'd like to ask how you figured that out."
Tu Yao sat up straight, thought for a moment, and nodded seriously.
"Because...first of all, the vehicle smelled strongly of herbs, which means that a lot of herbs had been transported."
"Secondly, that person claimed to be the Jiang family's butler, but his collar was yellowed. Although I'm not very worldly, I know that inappropriate clothes shouldn't be on someone like a butler."
"Finally, I remembered what my friend told me: the Jiang family started with industry and is the most powerful family in Yanjing. I don't think they would send a modified car to pick us up."
Madam Jiang, with her aged eyes and brows, gazed at her quietly, her admiration undisguised.
Not only was he perceptive, but he would also explain while deliberately saying nice things to flatter her.
The old lady had been a successful businesswoman her whole life and hated flattery, but she felt particularly pleased to hear the girl's kind words.
She continued, "Then what happened to your brother? From what you just said, you found a way to get him to get off the bus first?"
Tu Yao nodded: "His leg is injured, so he can't run fast."
The old lady then expressed her disagreement.
"As the older brother, how can he let his younger sister charge into battle? He should be the one to come up with a solution."
She would be angry if her grandchildren dared to let their younger sister take the lead.
Tu Yao shook her head: "It's okay. When he's weaker, I can protect him."
Madam Jiang became interested and deliberately teased, "But your image doesn't seem very impressive either."
Tu Yao thought for a moment, "...I just look weak, and...looking weak isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Just like now, didn't those two men not take her seriously because she looked stupid?
When she encounters a problem, she has another solution.
Madam Jiang's eyes softened. She was neither humble nor arrogant, knew how to advance and retreat appropriately, and was quick-witted. She was truly a good child.
How old are you?
Tu Yao: "Eighteen."
Madam Jiang was taken aback.
For some reason, my eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Seeing the old lady's eyes suddenly redden, Tu Yao was at a loss for words and immediately said, "Oh, right, I should thank you again."
Madam Jiang snapped out of her daze: "What are you thanking me for?"
Tu Yao honestly confessed: "A few days ago, you returned the painting to my friend, allowing us to take advantage of your power, and in the end, you didn't hold it against us, so thank you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Jiang's eyes suddenly flickered.
Ahead, Butler Jiang couldn't help but turn to the side and take a second look at the girl in front of him.
After a few seconds of silence, Madam Jiang smiled softly, "...So you are that small stream that crashes against the stubborn rock."
Tu Yao looked at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding what was going on.
"...What did you say?"
Madam Jiang was still smiling: "It's nothing. I think I should take back what I said about you being weak."
Just then, a police siren sounded from afar, growing louder as it approached the car.
The butler rolled down the car window, and Tu Yao immediately looked over.
The police cars have arrived!
Two cars, one in front and one behind, got out, and seven or eight policemen got out.
They followed the suspect along the road using surveillance cameras. Based on the complainant's description of a fraud case involving the Yanjing Mountain Goods Market, and the fact that the suspect was holding a girl hostage, they were highly prepared.
Once the news of the incident spread, even a reporter followed the police.
But as soon as you get off the bus...
The two suspects were seen bound tightly, with five bodyguards standing ramrod straight around them.
When asked about the situation, the police were stunned.
"Is Madam Jiang here too?"
Tu Yao was about to go downstairs when she looked up and saw a reporter holding a microphone and recording not far away.
Tu Yao: !!!
Why are there reporters here?!
