'Jing Xuan?'
Madame Jiang trusted her too much!
Moreover, it seemed that she was certain that Ji Yunshu would help her.
Ji Yunshu placed the letter on the table and pushed it towards Madame Jiang.
There were only a few sentences written on it, and the address of the restaurant took up half of the letter.
Ji Yunshu's gaze followed Madame Jiang's line of sight and asked, "What do you know?"
Madame Jiang had a conditional expression on her face. "If Teacher Ji can help me find out Shuiqing's whereabouts and solve this case, I will tell you."
"Is this a deal?"
"That depends on how you interpret it."
Madame Jiang was a meticulous person, so she would naturally keep a hand in her sleeve.
However, Ji Yunshu's heart was slightly moved.
Seeing her hesitation, Madame Jiang continued, "I know that Teacher Ji doesn't like the capital and doesn't want to get involved in its maelstrom. But you are a smart person, don't you want to make a name for yourself? Are you really willing to be a golden carp in the pond? "
'Golden carp?
No, I just want to be a lotus in the pond! '
'Frost in summer and snow in winter!'
Ji Yunshu's lips parted into a smile. She used her fingers to pick up the wine pot and poured two cups of wine. Then, she raised one of the cups to Madame Jiang.
"This humble one would like to offer a toast to Madame Jiang."
Finished speaking, she drained the cup in one gulp and put it down. She stood up and gently brushed her robe.
"Farewell."
She prepared to leave!
The next moment, Madame Jiang stopped her. "Does Teacher Ji really not want to know about the 'Lin Capital Case'?"
Madame Jiang stopped and faintly smiled. "If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to, then I won't force you to say it."
"You came to the capital to help Prince Rong investigate the 'Lin Capital Case'. Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if you investigate one more case. As long as you help me find Shuiqing, I will tell you everything I saw and heard 14 years ago. I guarantee that it will be of great help to Teacher Ji in investigating the 'Lin Capital Case'."
"Why should I believe you?"
Ji Yunshu turned around and looked straight at her.
She saw Madame Jiang's cold eyes brimming with confidence. She took a few steps closer to Ji Yunshu and said, "If Teacher Ji didn't believe me, then you wouldn't have come to meet me after reading my letter."
That letter was like a bait thrown by Madame Jiang to catch the big fish, Ji Yunshu.
It was obvious that Ji Yunshu was here.
However …
"Madame Jiang, you're right about one thing. I really don't like the capital. I can't help you with this missing persons case."
When these words left Ji Yunshu's mouth, Madame Jiang hastily interjected, "Why do I remember that Teacher Ji in Jinjiang, when he learned of Ah Yu's death, his eyes turned red. Even if it was difficult and dangerous, he still tried his best to investigate a case that had nothing to do with him."
This kind of high hat seemed a bit too big for Ji Yunshu!
Madame Jiang's ability to coerce others had turned from forceful to emotional.
Ji Yunshu smiled bitterly. "This is the capital, not Jinjiang."
"Teacher Ji …"
"I can't meddle in the affairs of the world. The affairs of the world are not for me to meddle in. I'm just a lowly painter. This case is not for me to meddle in."
But what qualifications did she have to meddle?
Thinking about it, it was impossible!
Madame Jiang's face showed some disappointment. She sighed lightly.
"Since Teacher Ji's attitude is so firm, then I won't force you. However, I'm afraid that you won't know about the Lin Capital case."
"Whatever."
Two faint words slowly spilled out from her red lips.
Ji Yunshu had already opened the door and stepped out.
Behind her …
"Teacher Ji's face?" Madame Jiang finally asked the question that she had been suppressing in her heart.
Ji Yunshu placed her hand on the door and looked straight ahead. The corner of her mouth curved into a faint smile that was almost undetectable.
She said, "People say that a person's face changes eight times, and each time it changes. What's so strange about this one's appearance changing?"
Bang!
The door was slammed shut!
Madame Jiang, who was inside the room, was so angry that her complexion turned green. She didn't expect that Teacher Ji wouldn't fall for her trick.
She clenched her left hand into a fist and lightly punched the table. Then, she picked up the envelope.
The only thing written on it was:
If you want to know about the Lin Capital case, come to the Heng Ping Restaurant. Signed, Madame Jiang!
A piece of paper was gradually crumpled into a ball on her fingertips, and she threw it on the ground fiercely.
"Teacher Ji, you should believe me."
…
Ji Yunshu went down to the first floor and bumped into two people who were hurrying up the stairs.
Fortunately, she grabbed the wooden stake in front of her. Otherwise, she would have been in a complete mess.
"Do you know how to walk? Don't you have eyes? "
The person who bumped into them seemed to have gained momentum.
Li Shiyan's face was full of anger as he looked at the half-masked 'man' in front of him.
Ji Yunshu glanced at him. So, it was that stalker.
She was too lazy to bother with him. She lowered her gaze and was about to leave when Li Shiyan suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
"Are you mute? You want to leave after bumping into someone? "
"Let go."
"So, you're not a mute. Let go? This young master was bumped into by you, yet you don't even apologize. You want to leave just like that? "
'An accident?'
Ji Yunshu turned around. Her cold and gloomy eyes flashed with a cold light.
"If I remember correctly, the one who bumped into someone was you, young master, right?"
"I …"
Li Shiyan was speechless. Looking at those familiar eyes, the anger in his stomach dissipated in an instant.
Ji Yunshu raised her hand and removed Li Shiyan's hand from her shoulder. Just as she was about to leave, Li Shiyan once again stretched out his evil claw towards her.
But this time, he didn't manage to touch Ji Yunshu's shoulder. A whip lashed out.
Fortunately, Li Shiyan dodged in time. Otherwise, his arm would have been hit by the whip and his blood would have burst out.
"Really, there are all kinds of shameless bastards. You clearly bumped into someone, yet you still won't let them go. What a scoundrel."
He saw a woman dressed in a green gown holding a red whip in her hand.
Her hair was as black as ink, and it was half tied up and half draped over her shoulders. Her exquisite face was very delicate and pretty. Coupled with her delicate plum blossom makeup, she looked like a green lotus emerging from the water.
She had small lips and a straight nose, as well as a pair of big, bright eyes. It was simply a match for her face.
She was a beautiful woman!
However, there was a hint of arrogance in her innocent eyes. She lifted her chin slightly and walked over.
Li Shiyan was flustered and exasperated. This woman was the first person who dared to hit him with a whip.
"Who are you?"
He reprimanded.
"Me?"
The woman pointed her slender index finger at herself. The corner of her mouth curved into a proud and pampered smile.
Li Shiyan was also a proud and pampered young master. This time, he met him.
He snorted and took two steps forward. Staring at the whip in her hand, Li Shiyan said, "I'm asking you."
The woman coiled the whip in her hand section by section and raised her chin arrogantly.
"I'm afraid that if I say my name, you will be so scared that you will kneel on the ground and call me great aunt!"
"Shameless boasting!" Li Shiyan was very disdainful.
The woman was somewhat in a bad mood. She pointed at him and asked, "What did you say?"
"I say, someone like you still wants me to call you grandaunt? Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are. You actually dare to look down on me? I will whip you until you cry. "
After she finished speaking, she suddenly lashed the whip in her hand towards Li Shiyan.
Li Shiyan was also prepared to receive her whip. Unfortunately, the whip was only in the air when it was caught by a hand.
Following that hand, she saw Jing Rong's cold and stern face. He was looking at the woman in front of him with a resentful expression.
He sternly reprimanded, "Jing Xuan, don't cause trouble."
