Chapter 191 It’s okay
The roar of the hovercar echoed in my ears.

Jiang Mian hadn't reacted yet, and hadn't even turned her head to look over.

Her wrist was grabbed by a hand and pulled away quickly from the hovercar that was hurtling towards her.

Jiang Mian fell into a fragrant embrace.

She subconsciously tried to discern what the fragrance was. It seemed to be the smell of burning paper, but that wasn't quite right. It also smelled like the cold, burning smell of welding machinery. Although the scent was very faint, Jiang Mian still recognized it.

The hovercar that rushed straight past her crashed into the signboard, knocking over pots of vibrant flowers. The hovercar then overturned on its side, and the person on it was thrown out and crashed into the flowerpot stall, making a chaotic and messy noise.

"Dr. Jiang, how is she?" Hu Jiu's voice rang out from the side.

Jiang Mian then realized what was happening and looked up at the person in front of her.

The young man with the red fox saw her looking at him, and his cold red eyes only flashed slightly before he released Jiang Mian, took a few steps back, and increased the distance between them.

Jiang Mian recognized him. Wasn't this the young man with the red fox beside Lin Xuan? His name seemed to be Xuan Ji.

She paused for a moment, then said to the nervous Fox Nine beside her, "I'm fine. I'm just grateful that the people next to me pulled me away in time."

They dodged the hovercar.

Li Yan, who was watching from a distance, didn't have time to rush over. By the time he got halfway there, the hovercar had already reached Jiang Mian's side. At that moment, Li Yan's heart stopped. Although he knew that the bracelet on Jiang Mian's wrist would raise a defensive shield when attacked, his heartbeat still stopped for a moment.

I was terrified.

Fortunately, someone pulled Jiang Mian away in time, and nothing terrible happened.

Li Yan stopped halfway through his run. Jiang Mian repeatedly told him not to show up unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, he had already noticed a strange person. Based on his years of experience, that person's target was definitely Jiang Mian, and he was also an assassin.

So, in order not to alert the enemy, he made a sharp turn halfway through his run and slipped to the side, slowly approaching the assassin.

"Thank you for earlier. What are you doing here?" Jiang Mian looked at the red-foxed youth in front of her.

"It's nothing. My mistress wanted roses, so she asked me to come and buy some," Xuan Ji explained calmly to Jiang Mian.

"Lin Xuan came again?" Jiang Mian paused.

Xuan Ji saw her surprised expression. Although he didn't know why Jiang Mian was surprised, it wasn't strange that her master had come for male beauty. In any case, he didn't find it strange at all. It was very much like Lin Xuan's style.

“Yes, Master is at the male servants’ restaurant now.” Xuan Ji paused for a moment, “He said he wanted to give a flower to the male servants there.”

Lin Xuan was so pleased with the service she received from a male servant that she asked Xuan Ji to go out and buy a gift for him.

After hearing this, Jiang Mian thought: ...

That does indeed fit Lin Xuan's style quite well.

Seeing that Jiang Mian was unharmed, Hu Jiu rushed towards the young man who had driven the hovercar over, grabbed him by the collar, and punched him in the face: "How do you drive? Did you deliberately crash into me?"

The young man was still dazed and confused from the fall when he was grabbed by the collar and punched in the cheek. He was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he was filled with rage and raised his fist to punch Fox Nine.

However, the young man was dazed and confused from the fall, and was injured and bleeding. Moreover, his physical condition was no match for that of an orc.

Not only did his fist fail to land on Hu Jiu, but Hu Jiu also pinned him to the ground, rendering him unable to move. The florist came out and called a few people to lift Hu Jiu off the ground.

"Press down that guy who was driving recklessly. Don't even think about leaving until he's tallied up the money." The florist's face was also very grim.

Fox Nine had initially thought it was someone who was stopping him from teaching that young man a lesson, but upon hearing this, he paused in his actions.

He walked back to Jiang Mian's side and scratched his head: "I originally wanted to teach that guy a lesson, but the shop owner held him down."

“Yeah, that shop owner won’t let him get away with this.” Jiang Mian glanced at the young man over there before looking away. “Let’s go.”

Fox Nine glanced at the flowers with regret. She had originally intended to buy flowers for Jiang Mian, but she hadn't expected this to happen.

"Okay, let's go eat." Hu Jiu looked at Jiang Mian. He was fine, but he was afraid that these things would spoil Jiang Mian's mood and make her unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject to divert her attention. "I heard there are a lot of delicious foods."

Jiang Mian nodded, then nodded back to Xuan Ji, who nodded in response.

Jiang Mian then left with Hu Jiu.

On the other side, the assassin who had been following Jiang Mian saw that Jiang Mian was about to leave and was about to continue following when his shoulder was pressed down. He instinctively tried to break free, but the person holding him down was clearly a professional, and he was quickly subdued.

Once Li Yan had captured the man, he asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, who sent you?"

While Li Yan was interrogating the suspected killer, Chi Lin had already interrogated the rabbit servant and obtained the information.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mian and Hu Jiu had already gone to the restaurant.

"Let's go, Dr. Jiang." Hu Jiu spoke to the clerk at the counter, then turned to look at Jiang Mian. His gaze couldn't help but fall on Jiang Mian's hand, as if he wanted to take her hand and lead her upstairs.

But I couldn't help but stop myself.

"Shall we go?" Jiang Mian asked, seeing Hu Jiu still standing in front of him.

"Oh, okay, okay." Fox Nine replied blankly, then turned around and led the way.

He didn't dare to look back at Jiang Mian anymore.

Jiang Mian turned to her personal terminal; her beast husband had sent her a message.

I've already seen the message from Li Yan on my personal computer.

Li Yan has already apprehended the suspected killer and is currently interrogating him.

Jiang Mian replied with a "Okay, be careful."

At the same time, Chi Lin also sent her a message.

Chi Lin: We've already found out who sent the assassin to kill my sister that day. It was one of her enemies in the capital.

Jiang Mian was surprised to see the message Chi Lin sent.

Unexpectedly, the rabbit servant who escaped last time was caught and brought back, and the person behind it was already identified through interrogation.

Jiang Mian: Who is it?
Chi Lin: Is my sister home? I'll go back and report to her in person.
