Chapter 36 Closing the Transaction
Since then, Jiang Ci has been following Jiang Shu, occasionally meeting people he introduced.

"Jiang Shu, I have to go to the bathroom." She whispered.

"Be careful."

As soon as Jiang Shu's voice fell, she turned around and left.

Tang Yuan, who had just come out of Tang Jue's place, happened to see Jiang Ci walking towards the crowd, and when he wanted to stop, he discovered her target.

Jiang Ci circled the guests coming and going, and grabbed the sleeve of the person in front of him in the last step.

"it's me."

Duan Yan'an turned around, seeing her eyes full of joy, Lin Shishen's words sounded inexplicably in his ears.

"She looks better today than usual..."

"I saw you." She said this, and looked back at Jiang Shu, and when he turned back again, he still didn't say a word, "What's wrong with you?"

He looked away in a little panic, and touched the bridge of his nose subconsciously.

"……fine."

Jiang Ci consciously took a step forward, allowing him to enter his field of vision.

"I didn't see you just now, they said you were busy, are you done now?"

Duan Yan'an lowered his head slightly, looked at the person in front of him who had reached his chin, and took the hand that was holding his sleeve into his palm.

"Busy working."

The smile in her eyes is soaked in the golden color, like the morning sun in the summer morning, the maple leaves all over the mountains and plains in autumn... It seems like the warm sun that will never be replaced.

"I want to hear you talk."

His gaze was no longer shy, and he only asked softly, "What do you want to hear?"

"It is written in the book that the mountains are covered with clouds, the sky is full of decaying grass, and the sound of drawing horns breaks the Qiaomen... Outside the setting sun, there are thousands of jackdaws, and flowing water surrounds the isolated village." Reading this, eyes are full of expectations, "...that is how is it like?"

With a smile in his eyes, he sighed lightly, as if he was speaking for her.

"Do you remember the ink painting you saw before?"

Jiang Ci nodded in response, and he continued.

"Everything it depicts, you can think according to the painting. The mountain mosaic cloud in the first sentence means the cloud hanging high above the green mountain, which is as light as a pen and ink..."

She listened to his description quietly, interjecting a few words from time to time, and he would stop and explain to her.

To Jiang Ci, what he was talking about was not poetry, but a world she had never seen before, and he was from there.

Tang Yuan, who was standing not far away, witnessed everything, and seemed to be certain of something.

"So it's really Wanwan..."

How did she become Jiang Ci?Why did Duan Yan'an hide it?But aren't they cousins...

He was sure of one thing, but countless questions popped up.

At that time, on Duan Yanan's left side, Wu Hanyan, who was pretending to be calm and talking to Zhang Yushu, also had his eyes on the hand that Duan Yanan was holding tightly.

Zhang Yushu followed her gaze and saw it.

"Duan Yan'an really dotes on Ms. Jiang, and is reluctant to let go of her wherever she goes..."

Wu Hanyan immediately looked back at him.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Yushu took a step forward, and described to her emphatically: "A few days ago, the party held by Fang's family only invited a small number of dignitaries and foreigners. Guess who Duan Yan'an took?"

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and said coldly: "Isn't it just a ball?"

"If it's just an ordinary ball, why should I say more? At that ball, the people who accompany you are either your valued children, or the wife...and Duan Yan'an is leading Miss Jiang."

Zhang Yushu has been by her side for so many years, knowing that even though she looks calm on the outside, her heart has already been disturbed.

He thought it wasn't exciting enough, and continued to add: "Young Marshal Duan even invited Miss Jiang to dance, that's really enviable... I've never seen him take the initiative before."

Saying this, he also gestured to the two people at that time with his eyes.

Wu Hanyan looked back, and saw Duan Yan'an was straightening her collar, and then he seemed to be telling her something, his eyes were full of tenderness.

And she nodded in response, and left reluctantly.

"Han Yan, even so, are you still deceiving yourself and others?" Zhang Yushu's tone suddenly softened, "He treats you as kindly as anyone else, do you think he will keep his distance from Jiang Ci? But he will Keep your distance."

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it." She shook off his hand and walked away indifferently.

Zhang Yushu chuckled lightly, but it seemed like he was laughing at himself.

After Duan Yan'an finished speaking with Jiang Ci, he went out directly, wanting to go back and arrange the deal for tomorrow.

But as soon as he walked out of the front yard, he was stopped by Wu Hanyan who was chasing him out.

"Han Yan?"

The woman in a white dress looked at the person who turned around.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he asked again: "What's the matter?"

"...Didn't Uncle Duan want you to marry Miss Tang? How is your talk going?"

Her tone was still the same, but her eyes were dark under the brim of her hat.

"He already knows that Miss Tang and Shishen have the same heart, and he has no plans to marry the Tang family..."

"What about Ms. Jiang?" Wu Hanyan blurted out, seeing him stunned, and then explained, "I thought of asking because I saw that you have a good relationship with Ms. Jiang."

Duan Yan settled down for a long time before replying: "She's still young...let's talk about it later."

After all, he turned to leave.

Wu Hanyan stopped here.

So... you will marry her?
Early the next morning, Fang Shilin sent someone to take away the hostages in the prison.

The sky was bright for a while, and then darkened again. Dark clouds pressed down between the green mountains, and there was a patter of rain.

On the pier to the south, it was still lively, and Duan Yan'an personally led people to handle the appointment.

Gu Zhi was holding an umbrella behind him, and he glanced at the busiest pier, his eyes were bright.

Four years ago, his men were forced to withdraw from here, and now he has returned.

"Young Marshal Duan." Zhang Qi stood beside him with a cold expression, "It's really a good trick."

Duan Yan'an smiled disapprovingly: "It's just a trick of borrowing a knife... But it's thanks to Commander Zhang that I can borrow this knife."

Zhang Qi looked at him coldly, but he dismissively withdrew his gaze and brushed shoulders away from him.

Then, he reviewed it himself, and did not take over from Zhang Qi until he was satisfied.

At that time, several cars were parked outside the city gate, and Fang Shilin gestured to the people around him with his eyes.

Then, the hostages, who had been tortured in prison for several days, were taken out of the car.

When the people were taken to the designated location, two cars appeared immediately, and all the people who had been kidnapped before were also untied.

After the hostages on both sides had walked a certain distance, a gunshot rang out, causing everyone to fall into panic again.

The members of the Fang family immediately protected Fang Ke, and the surrounding people also caught up with the two fleeing cars.

On the car returning from the pier, Gu Zhi heard gunshots and his heart trembled.

"Young commander."

"If one is let go, it won't be Fang Shilin." Duan Yan'an also looked out of the car window with an indifferent expression.

And as he said, those bandits who didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth eventually died in the ambush laid by Fang Shilin, and no one was spared.
