Chapter 17: Let Him Take Jiang Xun Around

He had a fiery temper to begin with, and he would never allow anyone to disrespect him like that. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and teach Jiang Xun a lesson.

However, when he saw Jiang Xun staring at him as if he was a dead man walking, he suddenly felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on him, freezing his fury to the core.

D*mn it. He’d already stood up from the chair, but he immediately plopped back down onto it after recalling the fear of being pressed against the wall by Jiang Xun. Suddenly, his demeanor was like a quail, and he didn’t say anything more.

Nianzhen smiled gently at Jiang Xun. “I have already told the driver at home to send you to the college entrance examination tomorrow. You will take the car tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Chengye immediately frowned and asked, “What about Yuexi?”

“Yuexi’s school has arranged a car to pick up the examinees,” Nianzhen explained. “Since Jiang Xun’s school is in Wenping Town, even if the school has arranged something for the students, they wouldn’t be able to take care of her, so I asked the driver to send her over.”

Yuexi’s school had arranged for cars to send off the examinees. The government had also specially arranged for the traffic police to clear the way for the examinees from the various schools in the city. This was to prevent the morning traffic congestion in the capital from delaying the examinees from getting to their exams on time.

“You put a lot of thought into this.” Chengye was gratified and moved, but when he turned around and saw that Jiang Xun was still eating without a care in the world, he couldn’t help but get angry.

“Why aren’t you thanking Auntie Feng?”

Nianzhen’s breath caught in her throat, and she was momentarily unable to move or speak.

Chengye actually hadn’t insisted on having Jiang Xun call her ‘Mother’.

Wasn’t he giving in too quickly?!

“Thank you, Ah Feng,” Jiang Xun said indifferently with a smile on her face.

Ah Feng Again!

Nianzhen’s smile became even more forced.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Aunt Zhang went to the door and turned on the intercom. After a little while, she said in surprise, “Master Jiang, Madam Feng, it’s the police.”

“Why would the police come to our house?” Nianzhen was puzzled.

Aunt Zhang turned on the intercom so that everyone could hear the police outside the door say, “Hello, is this Jiang Xun’s house?”

“Ah, yes.” Like many people, Aunt Zhang would instinctively panic whenever talking to the police even though she had done nothing wrong. When she heard that they were actually looking for Jiang Xun, she looked at Chengye in a daze. “Master Jiang, they’re here for Mistress Jiang Xun.”

Chengye immediately slammed the table and stood up. “Jiang Xun, what kind of trouble did you get into?!”

Nianzhen looked worried on the surface, but in fact, she was positively delighted at this turn of events. As she stood up and walked to the entrance, she said to Aunt Zhang, “Let them in. No matter what crime Jiang Xun has committed, it doesn’t mean she can escape them just by leaving the police outside.”

“Yes.” Auntie Zhang quickly opened the door.

When the two police officers outside heard Nianzhen’s words, they knew that the other party had misunderstood. They were about to open their mouths to explain, but since the door had already been opened, they decided that it would be best if they went in and explained everything.

When the two police officers entered, Chengye, Yuexi, and Jixuan also arrived at the entrance.

When the police officers came in, Nianzhen said with a face full of panic and worry, “What crime did Jiang Xun commit? My family members are all law-abiding citizens, but Jiang Xun… has only recently come to live with us. We haven’t had the time to teach her properly.”

Nianzhen turned around and scolded Jiang Xun, “You still refuse to tell the truth at this time?”

Yuexi suddenly remembered something and said, “Sister, you have been going out early and coming back late every day this week. You haven’t been studying at home. What did you do?”

“Ever since you came back, there hasn’t been a day of peace at home!” After Jixuan said that, he hid behind Chengye.

Chengye glared at Jiang Xun fiercely. “What exactly did you do? You didn’t even say a word, so we didn’t know anything until the police came to our door!”

“You’ve misunderstood.” The police saw that they had blindly accused Jiang Xun of wrongdoing without even asking for her side of the story. They thought that their treatment of her was unfair and were angry on Jiang Xun’s behalf. “Jiang Xun didn’t do anything wrong. On the contrary, we are here to thank her.”

“What?” Nianzhen exclaimed in surprise.

The police officer looked at Jiang Xun with a smile and took out a brocade flag to give to her.

“In the past week, Jiang Xun has seen injustice and acted heroically. Every day, she has caught several people who broke the law and helped many people. Over the past two days, the amount of crimes happening at the subway stations has declined significantly. Not even our undercover colleagues were able to catch wrongdoers when cases were at an all-time high. This is all thanks to Jiang Xun! ”

The police officers were extremely pleased with her. Jiang Xun had already gained a reputation amongst underground organizations, and when news spread of her presence at subway stations, the thieves avoided those places altogether for fear of running into her.

“That’s why our bureau specially made a banner for Jiang Xun,” another policeman explained with a smile. Then, he stuffed his cell phone into Chengye’s hands, “Sir, if you wouldn’t mind, please take a picture of us. We’ll be putting this up on our social media accounts later in honor of Jiang Xun.”

After saying that, they let Jiang Xun hold the unfurled banner while the two policemen stood on either side of her.

Seeing that Chengye was still foolishly motionless, the policeman urged, “Come on, take the picture.”

Only then did Chengye come back to his senses. “Ah, r-right.” He took a photo of them and returned the phone.

The policeman took the phone and said to Chengye with a serious face, “Jiang Xun is a good child. You can’t just place the blame on her without hearing her out.”

“Yes, we understand,” Chengye answered awkwardly.

Before the police officer left, he said to Jiang Xun, “By the way, you have the college entrance exam tomorrow. I hope your exams go smoothly.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Xun nodded with a smile. “Once my exams are over, I will continue to arrest those who break the law.”

“You must act according to your ability. Always prioritize your safety!” The police officer quickly instructed.

Though, now that he thought about it, he had never seen a girl who could fight so well.

After sending the policeman away, all the members of the Jiang family, except for Jiang Xun, were still in a state of shock and confusion.

Jiang Xun coldly snorted and went upstairs to her room.

She went to pack up the things she would be needing for the entrance exams tomorrow.

When Yuexi came back to her senses, she took the opportunity when Chengye was not around to complain to Nianzhen, “Mom, why did you ask the driver to send her to the college entrance exam tomorrow? Even if we’re only treating her well on a surface level, it shouldn’t be like this.”

“Don’t be daft.” Nianzhen tapped Yuexi’s forehead, “I’ve made an agreement with the driver to take Jiang Xun around the most congested route. It’s best if Jiang Xun is stuck on the road and is late for her entrance examination. She won’t be able to enter the examination venue.”

“I’ve already asked your father about it.” Nianzhen sneered, “Your father said that if Jiang Xun can’t enter university, he will send Jiang Xun far away. She’s an adult now, so he doesn’t have to give Jiang Xun living expenses like before.”
