97 Two Good People
Seeing them slip away, Yan Nanguan confirmed his guess. There was definitely something wrong with those two!
Yan Nanguan wanted to chase after them, but he was worried about Yu Niaoniao’s safety.
He was worried about leaving her alone.
Yu Niaoniao urged anxiously.
“Go after them! If they’re really human traffickers and we let them go, who knows how many people they’ll harm in the future!”
Yan Nanguan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, the sense of justice in his heart prevailed.
He took out the pocket quiver he always carried.
He lit the fuse and aimed the quiver at the night sky.
With a whoosh, a small firework shot into the night sky and exploded.
This commotion was not small and immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Yan Nanguan did not even look at those people. He quickly spoke to Yu Niaoniao.
“I’ve sent a signal. The Eagle Guards around here should be here soon. Stay here and don’t move.”
Yu Niaoniao nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes!”
After arranging everything, Yan Nanguan strode forward and chased after Niu Daniu.
In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Yu Niaoniao kept her word this time and stood obediently on the spot.
A familiar voice suddenly spoke behind her.
“Niaoniao.”
Yu Qianqian turned around and saw that under the bright moonlight, Shen Junzhi was wearing a light blue robe. His eyebrows were exquisite, and his temperament was gentle and indifferent.
“Brother Junzhi!”
She ran toward him in surprise.
“What are you doing here?”
Shen Junzhi smiled at her. “I was having a meal nearby with a friend and happened to see you, so I came over to greet you. Why are you standing here alone?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m here to shop at the night market. I’ve heard that the night market in the Imperial Capital is very interesting. Seeing it with my own eyes is better than hearing it a hundred times.”
Shen Junzhi asked gently, “How do you feel about it?”
“It’s especially good! Not only is there a lot of good food and fun here, but I met two good people.”
Shen Junzhi looked interested. “Oh?”
“They didn’t just treat me to food. They bought me jewelry.” She shook the jewelry box in her hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter. “They even performed chest-breaking for me to make me happy!”
Shen Junzhi’s expression became complicated.
Actually, not long after Yu Niaoniao entered the night market, he discovered her. At the same time, he had also noticed the malicious Niu Da and Niu Er.
Originally, he had planned to save Yu Niaoniao when she was in danger, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.
He had seen with his own eyes how Niu Da and Niu Er tried their best to trick Yu Niaoniao. In the end, they were tricked by Yu Niaoniao until they were left with nothing.
It was really tragic!
Shen Junzhi asked gently, “I know a restaurant nearby that makes excellent beef pies. Do you want to try it?”
As soon as she heard that there was good food, Yu Niaoniao’s eyes lit up.
“Which restaurant was it?”
Shen Junzhi said, “I think it’s called Fresh Food.”
Yu Niaoniao memorized the name and smiled.
“I understand. I’ll try it with Duke Lang later.”
Shen Junzhi’s smile faded a lot. “But I heard that Duke Lang doesn’t like to eat outside.”
Yu Niaoniao said righteously, “It doesn’t matter if it’s delicious or not. What’s important is that he can pay.”
Shen Junzhi was speechless.
He had thought that she was going on a date with Duke Lang, but he did not expect her to only treat him as a payment tool.
Shen Junzhi said, “Actually, I want to ask you if you’ve changed your mind. Duke Lang is very dangerous. If you marry him, you might be implicated by him.”
He was not exaggerating.
This time it was Niu Da and Niu Er who gave her trouble. What about next time?
Would she be as lucky next time as she was tonight?
