Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 644 I Can't Bear To See You Being Bullied

Throughout the day, Chu Qingyan stayed on the training ground with the Jiangnan Valiant Riders.

During the break, Chu Qingyan and Jin Ling stood under the shade of a tree, chatting casually.

"Did the two stewards say anything to you when they came back?" Chu Qingyan asked casually.

Jin Ling took a sip of water, and subconsciously looked at the person beside him when he heard the words, "What is the young master referring to? About the loan from the restaurant?"

"It's okay, or it's about my character." Chu Qingyan smiled.

conduct?

Jin Ling recalled yesterday that Shi Qing and Li Boqing didn't seem to talk about the words and deeds of the little princess, they only said that everything went well.

Seeing Jin Ling shaking her head, Chu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, her expression became inexplicably relieved, she said slowly, "Jin Ling, in the past two days, I investigated the whereabouts of more than a dozen stewards in the days before Ku Yin was replaced. , and the performance that day, except for Shi Qing and Li Boqing, the rest of the people did not have the motive, time, and conditions for committing the crime."

"So you are suspecting one of Shi Qing and Li Boqing?" Jin Ling's tone was obviously displeased.

"You seem to think it can't be them? Why?" Chu Qingyan had expected Jin Ling to have this reaction, and couldn't help asking.

Jin Ling took a deep breath, turned his eyes to the blue sky outside the yard, and his expression was no longer so aggressive, "In the past few years in the bank, they have been conscientious, rarely made mistakes, and have very rich experience. In the bank, it can be said that They are my right-hand men, and I have spent a lot of energy on them. Their personalities are completely different, but such personalities can complement each other. I am very relieved to entrust them with many things in the bank. After so many years In the past, if they had evil intentions, they would have already acted, why wait until now?"

"So you don't believe that one of them might be the ghost?" Chu Qingyan frowned after hearing what he said.

Jin Ling pursed his lips and said nothing, but his expression already answered Chu Qingyan.

"I think it's understandable to think so from your standpoint, but Jin Ling, you have to know that people will change, they can't stand the temptation, and they can't hold their hearts. Maybe when they first entered the bank, this person would She has ulterior motives, and the reason why she has never shown it is because raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time..." Just when Chu Qingyan wanted to analyze it bit by bit for him, Jin Ling rudely interrupted her.

"Young master, there is no basis for empty talk. Unless you can produce evidence, I will not be convinced."

Chu Qingyan was not angry at all, but nodded and said, "Okay, I will produce evidence."

"Thank you, sir, for your understanding." Jin Ling also knew that he had gone too far, but he still couldn't believe that his trusted subordinate would do such a thing.

Chu Qingyan waved her hand, she could understand Jin Ling's mood, who wants to believe that her fall was pushed by her own people?

But no matter what the result is, she will not easily spare the black hands behind the scenes.

Although I don't know who the black hand behind the manipulation is, it is obvious that this person wants to use such a series of plans to make the money bank fall into trouble, lose its reputation, and then close down.

After the training, Chu Qingyan immediately went to look for Xiao Xu.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw him standing half leaning in front of the table, with a brush in his hand, and was seriously drawing on the white paper. Seeing this, Chu Qingyan couldn't help but lighten his steps, then leaned against the table and looked at him. paint.

On the rice paper, there are lush bamboo forests.

"Is this the bamboo from Brother Lin's mansion?" Chu Qingyan asked after the person beside him put away his pen.

"En." Xiao Xu nodded.

Seeing that he was about to leave to drink tea after finishing the painting, Chu Qingyan couldn't help calling him back, "Hey, other people will stamp a stamp after they finish painting, and write it in a certain year, why don't you do it?"

Xiao Xuyang raised his eyebrows, "You said it was someone else, but I am not someone else."

Chu Qingyan choked, when did Big Ice Cube learn to speak forcefully?

When Xiao Xu was pouring tea for himself, Chu Qingyan had already stood behind the desk, admiring his paintings carefully. Although she was not very good at painting, she had at least seen many paintings by famous masters in the past few years. She still has appreciation skills. After reading it carefully, she felt that the painting skills of Big Ice Cube were not inferior to those famous painters.

"Big Ice Cube, besides painting flowers, plants, mountains, rivers and waters, what else have you painted?" It seems that he has rarely seen him paint in recent years, and even if he did paint a few, it was all these.

"What else can I draw?" Xiao Xu asked back.

"Yes," she said, pointing her fingers, "such as buildings, animals, people..."

Listening to the little guy's words, Xiao Xu played with the teacup with his fingertips, looking thoughtful.

"Find a place to sit."

Suddenly hearing the big ice cube speak, Chu Qingyan was a little puzzled, but sat down obediently in front of the tea table, and then saw him return to the desk, put the bamboo forest map aside, and changed a new paper Spreading it on the table, picked up the pen, and lingered on her for a moment, then dipped in the ink and began to draw on the rice paper.

Chu Qingyan blinked, and realized later, is Big Ice Cube drawing a portrait of her?

Wow, the surprise came so suddenly, I was still a little excited when I thought about it.

Chu Qingyan's face was warm, and she often looked at the big ice cube, but being stared at by him so seriously, she felt something was wrong.

She felt that it was awkward to just sit at this time, and she wanted to find something to talk about to resolve her embarrassment at this time.

"Big Ice Cube, thank you for today's matter." She racked her brains, remembering that he had come forward for her this morning to resolve Jiangnan's dissatisfaction with the brave rider.

"I just can't bear to see you being bullied." Xiao Xu replied without raising his head. He was concentrating on drawing the lines in front of him at this moment, and replied without thinking too much.

Chu Qingyan felt warm all over her body, and there were bubbles of happiness in front of her eyes.

But Xiao Xu's next words shattered those bubbles in an instant.

"I thought you would take action to teach these brats a lesson, but I didn't expect you to be too soft-hearted. How can you make me feel at ease in the future?" Xiao Xu's tone was stern.

Chu Qingyan raised her head, met his sharp eyes, and was stunned, "I don't think these people are your subordinates. If I punish you too much, I won't be able to explain it to you."

"Since I have handed over the person to you, it means that I trust your ability, look forward and backward, and be timid. These two points must be changed!" Xiao Xu glanced at her, and continued to dip in the ink.

Chu Qingyan accepted the teaching with an open mind.

"All right."

After a while, the person in front of him had finished drawing. He put down the pen and admired it with his hands behind his back. Seeing that he was quite satisfied, Chu Qingyan couldn't help jumping up to look at it.

After seeing clearly what was painted on it, Chu Qingyan became petrified.

"Big ice cube, are you sure this is me?"

"Isn't it? I drew it according to your appearance, take a closer look, does this charm look like you?"

Chu Qingyan raised his forehead.

This is clearly a little tabby cat!
Although it is naive, it is a cat!

How can it be seen that it is a person? Hey!
