Chapter 41: Why is Jiang Xun So Protective Of Me?

Everyone was left speechless at the sight.

This little girl was so strong!

The thought that they really couldn’t afford to offend her flashed in their minds.

“I really didn’t…” The man was in tears after having been beaten up so much.

He had… indeed done this before, and had even succeeded.

But he couldn’t say it, or the magnitude of his actions would be amplified.

Who could’ve known that Jiang Xun would slap him immediately after he finished speaking?

“Tell the truth!” she demanded.

“PFFT!”

Two of the man’s other teeth were knocked out.

“Jiang Xun!” The police officer hurriedly stopped her. “What he said may not be the truth, but don’t worry. Leave it to us; if he’s really done it in the past, we will definitely find out and bring justice to his victims.”

“If you continue to hit him, something bad might happen,” another police officer also said.

They were not afraid of something bad happening to this man, but rather to Jiang Xun.

This was the first time they had seen Jiang Xun hit someone so hard.

It was clear that she really did suspect that this man had a criminal record.

The two policemen’s faces darkened.

In the meantime, the onlookers could remember that there had been victims in the past, but they did not know that the two policemen’s anger was also rising.

“Okay,” Jiang Xun agreed reluctantly. “But he has to apologize to me.”

The policemen felt that this was absolutely necessary and immediately shouted at the man, “Apologize!”

The man felt that he was really done for.

Even if Jiang Xun hadn’t said anything, he’d already wanted to get on his knees to beg her for mercy.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again…!”

It was only when he was caught in the act did the man finally know fear and burst into tears. “Please don’t sue me! I will definitely turn over a new leaf and behave myself!”

“I’m sorry! Please spare me, I beg you!” The man cried. “I don’t want to be arrested, I don’t want to go to jail! Please spare me this time, I won’t do it again in the future.”

[ Merit Points + 1]

Jiang Xun looked at the man in front of her coldly.

He had apologized so many times, but the MP had only increased by 1 point.

It meant that the man was really afraid, he was clearly lying about turning over a new leaf. If she spared him, he would revert to his usual ways as soon as his fear passed.

That said, even if he truly did want to correct his behavior, Jiang Xun would not spare him.

“You can take him away now,” she said to the two police officers.

One of the police officers looked at her hesitantly before taking a step forward and asking in a low voice, “Jiang Xun, why are you staying here? Did you quarrel with your family?”

The colleagues from the other police stations had gone to give Jiang Xun pennants. They knew that her family was very rich.

They had chatted during the gathering. They had not expected Jiang Xun to have such a sense of justice even though her family was so rich. She was not afraid of tiring herself out to catch criminals.

“Yes,” Jiang Xun replied shortly.

“Then you can’t stay here,” the policeman said in a low voice. “You’re a girl. It’s not safe. Let’s move to another place.”

“Did you not bring enough money with you?” The other policeman asked. “Did your parents stop your pocket money? I have some money here. Take it and move to another place tomorrow.”

In movies and TV dramas, when the child of a rich man quarreled with their family and ran away in anger, their family would cut off their credit cards, so this was what the policeman thought had happened to Jiang Xun.

“I brought enough,” Jiang Xun hurriedly said when she saw the policemen taking his wallet out from his pocket. “Besides, I’m going to school for military training tomorrow. I won’t be staying here for long.”

The policemen were relieved at her explanation. After such a big commotion, the area should at least be safe for the night. No one would dare to mess around again for now.

“Okay,” Jiang Xun casually agreed.

Only then did the police officer leave with the man.

After watching the show, the other guests all went back.

After such a commotion, Jiang Xun woke up and went back to sleep after a long time.

9:30 am.

Qin Yang Group.

Zhang Chengnan knocked on the door and entered Qin Mufeng’s office.

“President, you asked me to look into Jiang Xun.” Chengnan hesitated for two seconds and said, “I found something.”

Mufeng stopped what he was doing and looked at Chengnan, waiting for him to say something.

“Jiang Xun was kicked out of the Jiang family four days ago. She went to a private hotel that costs about 100 yuan per night. At two o’clock in the morning, she met a man who broke the lock on her door and wanted to do something to her. Fortunately, Jiang Xun was vigilant and caught that man. She even called the police,” Chengnan said.

“He was driven out of the Jiang Family?” Mufeng frowned slightly. “Why?”

“I arranged for someone to act as the nanny in a family in their neighborhood. I found out about this from the Jiang family’s nanny, Zhang Sao,” Chengnan explained. “Apparently, the Chengye group was trying to win a business deal with our company. Jiang Chengye thought that Jiang Xun was close to you, so he asked Jiang Xun to go after you and ask you to hand over your business to the Jiang family.”

“But Jiang Xun refused to admit that she was close to you, and was unwilling to come to you no matter what. Jiang Chengye threatened her, saying that if she didn’t do what he asked, he would kick her out of the house and stop all her living expenses, including the tuition fees for her upcoming trip to Beijing University.”

Chengnan paused, then continued. “When Jiang Xun heard that, she left with her bag in hand. When she left, the only things she brought with her were the clothes she’d first come here with. She didn’t bring any of the things that she bought after living with the Jiang family.”

“I’ve been investigating her residence after she left,” Chengnan said. “It wasn’t until early this morning, when I received the news that a man was going to do something to her, that I finally found out where she lived.”

“She would rather leave Jiang Chengye than come to me?” Mufeng frowned.

“Yes.”Chengnan nodded.

“Tell me, why does Jiang Xun protect me so much?” Mufeng couldn’t help but fiddle with his tie.

Chengnan hesitated for a moment. “Do you think it’s possible that the Jiang family is playing a trick? Maybe Jiang Xun deliberately pretended to break up with Chengye to attract your attention?”

“They don’t know that I’m investigating Jiang Xun.” Mufeng paused for a moment and closed the document in front of him in annoyance. He said unhappily, “Besides, am I not worthy of Jiang Xun’s protection?”

“Yes, of course you are.” Chengnan nodded hurriedly. “But… didn’t you say that you have nothing to do with Jiang Xun? Then there’s no need for her to protect you.”

Even Jiang Xun herself refused to admit that she had anything to do with Mufeng.

Mufeng paused. “You’re the only one who has a big mouth. Why are you so talkative?” He looked at Chengnan unhappily.

The man in question could only stare at his boss in silence.

Wasn’t…wasn’t this what he himself had said last night? He’d said that he had nothing to do with Jiang Xun and even suspected that she was deliberately scheming against him.

Did he change his mind so quickly?

Chengnan, however, was already a mature assistant and didn’t voice out this question.

Mufeng let out a breath and stood up. “Lead the way to the small hotel where Jiang Xun is staying.”

Chengnan was surprised. “You’re going there now?”

“Do you think it’s inappropriate to go there at night?” Mufeng raised his eyebrows.
