Seeing Su Yunling approaching, Mr. Jiang immediately turned to him, "Mr. Su, the situation here has been dealt with, and we..."
"Dealt with?" Su Yunling’s voice was low and captivating, resonating in a clear and pleasant tone.
It was only when Su Yunling spoke that everyone realized that this elegant and indolent young man had also appeared alongside Mr. Jiang.
The young man wore a mask, revealing only half of his face, yet even so, it was clear that his features were very attractive.
As soon as Su Yunling posed his question, Mr. Jiang responded with a smile, "Yes, it has been dealt with."
"Mr. Jiang’s resolution is to apprehend three children?" Su Yunling asked with slightly lowered eyes, showing no emotion, his tone neither warm nor cold.
Listening to Su Yunling’s inquiry, Mr. Jiang’s eyes flickered and he slightly furrowed his brow almost imperceptibly, his face beaming with a fawning smile, "Mr. Su, rest assured, the ultimate handling of the three children will follow the rules."
Mr. Jiang knew that the Mr. Su in front of him was a young master of the Su Family from Xia Country’s Imperial Capital and also a very famous actor in Xia Country.
If he only had these two roles, it wouldn’t have scared Mr. Jiang so much, but Su Yunling was also good friends with Tang Yichen, a diplomat of the Ever Winning Army.
Just that identity alone as Tang Yichen’s friend meant he had to treat Mr. Su with the utmost respect, as one would an ancestor.
In that moment, as Mr. Su suddenly initiated a conversation, Mr. Jiang felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
"Maybe Mr. Jiang should handle it right now," Su Yunling spoke slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang’s expression stiffened, and his eyes darted about before he continued to smile, "Does Mr. Su feel that my handling is improper?"
Su Yunling lifted his eyelids, his gaze loosely fixed on Mr. Jiang, "As the manager of Chinatown, shouldn’t Mr. Jiang know better than I, how to handle this?"
Confronted with this ambiguous statement, Mr. Jiang felt somewhat troubled.
Just as Mr. Jiang struggled with the situation, Su Yunling spoke again, "Since the three children are still eating, why not take care of it right here?"
In fact, the only person still eating was Gu Zhiqi.
"If I tell you to handle it, just handle it. Don’t waste words." Mr. Jiang hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted; Yun Xin, a burly figure in uniform of the Ever Winning Army, took a few large steps toward Mr. Jiang, followed by others in the same uniform.
Only then did Mr. Jiang realize that when he had ordered the Ever Winning Army to apprehend people earlier, they had not moved at all.
In the past, directing the Ever Winning Army had always been a matter of a single sentence, yet today, these people actually didn’t follow his commands.
Mr. Jiang did not know whether it was because Team Seventeen’s squad leader, Yun Xin, was present that they had not moved, or if there was some other reason.
A flicker of unease suddenly arose in Mr. Jiang’s heart.
"Mr. Jiang, please proceed," urged Su Yunling as he took a seat at the only empty spot at Gu Zhiqi’s table, speaking quite familiarly, "What brings you to Soraya all of a sudden?"
At these words from Su Yunling, Mr. Jiang’s face abruptly changed.
Xie Yann and Xu Qing, who had been seated with Gu Zhiqi, were already feeling uneasy as Su Yunling sat down. Now, hearing Su Yunling’s question, both were startled. They exchanged looks, a shared confusion in their eyes, each questioning the other: Is it you?
Although both had met Su Yunling before, they knew they weren’t in a position to converse with such an important figure.
So, without considering themselves, their minds subconsciously went to the other person.
As for Gu Zhiqi, he was subconsciously overlooked by the two of them.
