“…” The girl's wrist was restrained, and her face was a little pale.
Her eyes looked at Jiang Wen with some fear, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
She didn't come back to her senses until Jiang Wen reminded her a second time.
“I, I don’t know anything.”
Jiang Wen couldn't help but find it a bit amusing when he heard this.
Today, he was robbed of his money by a petty thief, but he didn't expect to catch a member of the Li clan's royalty, which really surprised Jiang Wen.
Although the other party didn't admit it, the seal characters on her hand couldn't deceive anyone.
How could an ordinary petty thief know this kind of secret, and even that seal character contained a spiritual energy.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say it, Jiang Wen's tone softened slightly.
He released the girl's wrist, and then picked up the short knife.
“I once met a member of the Li clan like you, and she was quite kind.” Jiang Wen said slowly.
“I became friends with her and experienced many things.
Later, she returned to the capital, but I could never contact her again.”
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, the girl raised her head in astonishment.
She just stared at him carefully, and after a long while, she asked, “You, you're not here to arrest me?”
“What would I arrest you for? I have no grievances or enmity with you.
The emperor of Daqian is unknown to me, and I have nothing to do with him.” Jiang Wen smiled.
“...Huff.” The girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, rubbed her sore wrist, and stood up.
She put away the short knife and looked at the boy behind her.
She pulled him in front of her and said apologetically to Jiang Wen, “It's Gouzi who doesn't recognize people and stole your things.
If you're angry with him, you can beat him or punish him.
I only ask that you spare his lowly life so that he can live.”
There was some reluctance hidden in the girl's words, but she could only act like this.
Just now when they fought, she knew that the other party was someone she couldn't hope to reach, probably a cultivator in the rumors.
Not to mention the two of them, even if all the members of the thief gang were here, they probably wouldn't be able to handle this person's hand.
She could only hate that the people in the gang were blinded by money and provoked someone they shouldn't have.
Hearing the girl's words, the boy trembled all over with fear.
Like a chick drenched in heavy rain, he shivered in the bleak autumn wind.
He walked up to Jiang Wen tremblingly and lowered his weak body.
This appearance of waiting to be slaughtered also surprised Jiang Wen.
He didn't choose to attack, but looked at the two of them curiously, “Since you know that you have to pay the price for causing trouble, why do you still dare to steal from me?”
“Just, just because the people in the gang said that you, sir, don't have much strength, so they told us to try you out.
If you're really just an ordinary person, then we'll take your money.” The boy swallowed and told Jiang Wen the reason in a trembling voice.
After hearing this, Jiang Wen was quite interested in the gang in the child's mouth.
He waved his hand at the two of them and said, “Forget it, I'll spare your lowly life for now.
I'm quite interested in this girl's identity, why don't you come with me?”
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, the girl was first happy, then seemed to remember something, and her expression slowly became silent.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Wen thought she didn't like being controlled by him, and couldn't help but frown, “You don't want to?”
“It's not that!” Li Xiangyue quickly shook her head.
“It's just that there are still some things here that I can't let go of.”
“What is it?” Jiang Wen asked.
“I still have some orphans here to take care of.
If I leave, they will definitely be punished by the Water Dragon Gang…” Li Xiangyue said softly.
“So that's the matter?” Jiang Wen laughed when he heard this.
“This kind of thing is easy to handle.”
“Let's fill our stomachs first, and then I'll help you settle this wish.”
