Chapter 754: Come to Me When You're Ready

Nan Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, “You needn’t worry about me.”

“Don’t be upset when I say this, but the Killing Alliance is most likely coming for you, and unfortunately, you are also connected to me.

It’s hard to guarantee that Li Jian and my fifth uncle haven’t noticed you,” Yeh Hannian said with an inexplicable smile, using a teasing tone as he sighed lightly, “No matter how you look at it, Xiao Nannan, your situation isn’t looking good right now.”

Nan Jiaojiao felt even more suffocated.

Yeh Hannian waited a moment, but when she didn’t speak, he continued, “I’ll be staying in Rongcheng City for a few more days, if you make up your mind, find me, I can protect you.”

Nan Jiaojiao hung up the phone directly.

She picked up the drink Bo Yanching had left, searched around, and couldn’t find any cup he had used on the coffee table.

There were some in the cupboard, but she was too lazy to get them, so she just drank from the bottle.

She had never had XO before, and the first few gulps were too big, some spilled directly down her throat, stabbing like a knife, all the way to the tip of her heart.

“Cough…”

Nan Jiaojiao covered her mouth, coughing until tears came out.

Is that so?

Her situation was really not good.

How bad?

The next day.

The servants who cleaned Mist Garden had just opened the gate, laughing and talking with the Gardener as they stepped out, holding large shears intending to trim the green plants by the entrance.

Several cars were parked outside Mist Garden.

The two looked at each other but didn’t approach right away.

The front car’s driver’s door opened, and Han Chuan stepped out.

“Excuse me, is Elder Jiang awake?”

He asked with courteous detachment, and the two servants were slow to react.

They had seen Han Chuan before, always accompanying Bo Yanching, a nice guy who had even shared a tea with them, always polite, but his question now felt like a deliberate boundary was being set.

“Ah, yes, he’s up,” one said.

“Good, our Third Master needs to discuss something with Elder Jiang, please go inside and notify him.”

“Ah?” The Gardener was momentarily taken aback, “You can just go in, like you used to…”

“It’s no trouble.”

Han Chuan handed over a business card, “Please say, it’s Bo Yanching from the Bo Family, here for a visit.”

What’s this all about?

Why go through such a formality?

Why not just go in, and who is he pretending to be a stranger at the door?

“Oh, alright, then you folks wait here for a bit.”

The Gardener was bewildered and went inside carrying the large shears, not long after he saw Jiang Yu just out for a walk, and told him someone had come to visit.

People came to Mist Garden every day, but Jiang Yu didn’t meet with everyone; he had just woken up when he heard the Gardener say, “It’s Mr.

Bo.”

“Who?”

Jiang Yu almost thought he had heard wrong, “Is he joking with me?”

The Gardener repeated everything exactly as it had been said, including every word with Han Chuan.

After hearing it, Jiang Yu laughed twice, “Alright, then go tell him I’m still asleep and have them wait.”

“Okay.”

The Gardener went out again carrying the large shears.

“Sorry, our Elder Jiang says she is still asleep,” he informed.

Han Chuan nodded, his expression unchanged, “Alright, when it’s convenient, please come out and let me know.”

With that, Han Chuan got back into the car.

The Gardener, feeling awkward, didn’t even trim the greenery at the entrance and went inside.

It wasn’t until the evening when he came out that he noticed the cars were still waiting outside.

The garbage bin by the wall was spotless, with no takeout boxes inside.

Had they been waiting all day without eating or drinking?

The Gardener hurried back to report this to Jiang Yu.

“They’re still waiting?”

Jiang Yu looked up from a pile of herbs, pulling over a servant’s wrist to check the time.

“What’s he playing at, let him in.”
