"Since that’s the case, I can only..." The man raised his hand again, and all the people behind him came forward.
"Are you sure about this? This is your last chance. Once you act, I really can’t help you!" Jian Dan warned the man again.
"Hahaha! Arrogant~
Leave your name, and if I’m in a good mood, I might notify your family!"
"Are you sure you want my name?" Chu Liyuan spoke with a slight smile. "Very well, as you wish!
Chu! Li! Yuan!"
As soon as these three words, ’Chu Liyuan’, were uttered, the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground.
Even though he had never seen Chu Liyuan in person, how could he not have heard the name Chu Liyuan?
Whether it’s the underworld or the mainstream, there is no one who doesn’t know Chu Liyuan.
"You~ you~ you are~ you~~ you..." Perhaps out of fear, the middle-aged man’s words slurred, unable to speak clearly.
"Didn’t I already give you a warning just now? It’s your own fault for not listening!" Jian Dan slightly bent over and said.
The middle-aged man’s face and eyes were filled with terror, pletely devoid of his earlier demeanor.
Seeing the reaction of their boss, those behind him guessed the exceptional identity of the man before them, someone they couldn’t afford to provoke, so they all scattered and fled.
Seeing that not even a minute later, there was not a single person left behind the boss, Jian Dan shook her head with some sympathy, "You’ve really got it rough! They say at the moment of great peril, everyone flies separately, but yours is just too bad, isn’t it? Not even one person willing to stay?
Ah, never mind, I’ll tell you! I think that place is quite suitable for you!" Jian Dan crouched down beside the man, whispered the location where Lord Hong was and told him, "Go find him!" Jian Dan said with a smile.
"Uncle, let’s go! I’m hungry!"
"Alright!"
Long after Chu Liyuan and the others left, the middle-aged man finally came to his senses, climbed up from the ground, and looking behind him at the emptiness, his heart was filled with mixed feelings, unsure how to describe his current emotions.
In the end, he decided to find his son, and thus, another person was added to the mountain.
"Little Jian, sometimes I really admire you," Grandpa said to Jian Dan.
"Admire me? Why?"
"Because you always find a way to make people willingly take responsibility for their own matters, right?"
"Is that so? I hadn’t noticed."
"You lass!" Grandpa said with a laugh, shaking his head.
After sending the elders back to the old house, Jian Dan and Chu Liyuan returned to Li Garden. After returning to Li Garden, Jian Dan took a bath and then picked up her phone to check it. She had not expected to be taken aback at first sight; there were over 500 missed calls and even more unread messages.
Most messages were out of concern for her, asking where she was and if everything was alright.
After briefly scanning them, Jian Dan called everyone back one by one, explaining and apologizing until past ten at night, utterly exhausted.
"Ah~ This feels more tiring than a whole day’s work!" Jian Dan spread out on the bed in the shape of a big character.
"Are you very tired? Do you need me to help loosen you up?"
"Loosen up?" A perfectly normal phrase, but for some reason, it sounded somewhat peculiar to Jian Dan’s ears. Was it her mind turning naughty?
But upon seeing Uncle’s smile, she knew her feeling was not wrong, "Uncle, I really am tired!" she said, covering herself entirely with the blanket, "Uncle, you must be tired these past few days too, rest early!"
Chu Liyuan looked at the bulging blanket, with a beautiful curve rising at the corner of his mouth...
