"Mr. Jiang, that’s not the right way to put it. It’s not just about whether I think it’s okay, you have to ask the party involved if it’s okay," Yun Xin said with a very official smile to Mr. Jiang.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang’s expression stiffened once again.
Look, does the party involved bother with me?
Feeling indignant inside but still, he managed to put on a smile and looked at Gu Zhiqi with playfulness in his eyes, "Miss Xie, perhaps you could tell us how this matter should be dealt with."
By this time, Gu Zhiqi had almost finished eating and was wiping her mouth with a napkin.
Hearing Mr. Jiang’s words, Gu Zhiqi chuckled lightly, her laugh carrying a playful undertone. She didn’t look at Mr. Jiang but slightly raised her eyebrows, a devil-may-care arrogance appearing in her eyes as she turned to Su Yunling, "I have a question."
Su Yunling, who was leisurely wiping her hands, lifted her eyes to Gu Zhiqi when she spoke, "Ask."
Gu Zhiqi: "What was the original intention of stationing the Ever Winning Army in Chinatown?"
Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s question, Su Yunling raised an eyebrow and then began to speak slowly and unhurriedly, "To maintain public order and peace in Chinatown, to protect the personal safety of our great Xia citizens."
Her usual unserious and slothful demeanor was gone, replaced with a tone and look of great seriousness.
Gu Zhiqi, upon hearing this, slightly lowered her eyes, boredly responding, "And yet just now, I saw a group of non-Xia citizens rampaging through these streets, even attempting to harm our Xia citizens."
As soon as Gu Zhiqi made that statement, particularly when she deliberately emphasized "non-Xia citizens," Mr. Jiang’s complexion instantly changed.
Meanwhile, Xie Yann, seeing someone backing up Gu Zhiqi, also began to speak, "There were more than a dozen of them causing trouble, and they even tried to hit someone. If it hadn’t been for my sister’s proficiency in Ancient Martial Arts... now, she would have been the victim. They even said my sister was pretty and wanted to take her back to share with their ’brothers’..."
The rest of Xie Yann’s statement was hard to articulate, partly because it was embarrassing to say out loud and partly because the aura emanating from someone nearby was terrifying.
As Xie Yann spoke, Su Yunling’s lips curled into an extremely faint smile, a dangerous glint climbing into her enigmatic, deep-set eyes, devoid of any warmth.
Her demeanor remained cool and lazy, but the aura she exuded was terrifyingly powerful.
Mr. Jiang, already sweating profusely, felt even more oppressed by this frightening aura, struggling to catch his breath.
The tough guy and his gang were even worse off, feeling the pressure of this powerful but invisible aura, and one after another, they "thumped" to their knees on the ground.
Gu Zhiqi observed the scene, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Targeted suppression?
Without at least a fifth-order mastery in Ancient Martial Arts, this was hardly achievable.
Looking at Su Yunling, a trace of subtle curiosity crept into Gu Zhiqi’s eyes.
"Mr. Jiang," Su Yunling began slowly, calling out to Mr. Jiang in a calm manner.
"Su... Mr. Su," Mr. Jiang stuttered in response, his hand repeatedly wiping the fine sweat from his forehead.
"Is this your brother?"
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang really did not want to admit that this person was his brother.
But since Su Yunling had asked, he dared not fail to respond and could only grit his teeth and reply, "Yes, he’s my wife’s brother."
"Since he’s family, I suppose it’s hard for you to be heartlessly punitive," Su Yunling remarked, eyes slightly downcast, her tone indifferent.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Su," Mr. Jiang said rigidly, "even though he’s my brother, I will certainly punish him according to the regulations. I guarantee he won’t cause any more trouble in Chinatown from now on."
"Let Yun Xin handle it instead."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang was momentarily taken aback, unable to object, and could only hurriedly agree.
"There’s no need for you to interfere in today’s matter," Su Yunling stated as she raised her eyes, lazily glancing at Mr. Jiang, "and you won’t need to meddle in future matters either."
At these words, Mr. Jiang’s face underwent a dramatic change.
