Iron-Faced Judge Jiang Cheng! Say It, You're Surprised

Little Yan'er, you're so foolish!

What did this bastard do to you to train you like this?

Ding Shengnan clutched her chest, looking distressed.

"Shengnan, does your chest hurt? How about I let Jiang... give it a massage?"

Upon noticing this scene, Qin Yan blurted out instinctively.

But thinking that Ding Shengnan might be shy, he quickly changed his mind.

He nodded and continued, "My skills are pretty good."

Although she couldn't compare to Jiang Cheng, Qin Yan silently added in her heart.

After all, she was only focused on enjoying herself, but she still felt that she had learned a little bit.

"No need, I'll be going now."

Looking at Qin Yan's hand gestures, Ding Shengnan inexplicably thought of Jiang Cheng's binding methods and the unavoidable physical contact.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she stammered as she spoke.

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Qin Yan sighed, looking as if she understood perfectly.

We haven't had enough contact with Sheng Nan!

You get used to this after a few times.

For example, she was the one who took the initiative at first, and inevitably she was a little shy.

But things are different now; she's matured and more open-minded.

"Looks like we'll have to create some more opportunities."

Qin Yan frowned slightly and muttered to herself, already having an idea in mind.

What are you thinking about?

Seeing Qin Yan deep in thought, Jiang Cheng asked curiously.

Why does it seem like Xiao Yan'er has become a bit silly since she's been with him, and she often gets distracted?

"No... it's nothing."

Qin Yan laughed it off, trying to brush it off.

No, something's wrong!

Jiang Cheng's eyes roamed suspiciously over Qin Yan's shapely body.

It has to be said that, under his careful care, Xiao Yan'er's figure is getting better and better.

Ahem~ I've gone off-topic.

"Yan'er, you're not hiding something from me, are you?"

Jiang Cheng slowly extended his devilish claws, aiming directly at Qin Yan's most sensitive and vulnerable spot.

Today, we must make sure Xiao Yan'er tells the truth!

"No, please!"

Noticing Jiang Cheng's actions, Qin Yan exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with pleading.

That little man is so wicked; he always manages to pinpoint her weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

But this obviously had no effect on Jiang Cheng, who was "unyielding and hard-hearted".

"Giggle~ It's so itchy, stop scratching."

While stopping Jiang Cheng's bad behavior, Qin Yan tried her best to beg for mercy and act cute.

A blush of red rose along the snow-white swan's neck and onto her delicate, pretty face.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and he laughed until tears streamed down his face.

"Will you tell me or not?"

Jiang Cheng composed himself and adopted the sharp and forceful demeanor befitting an interrogator.

Today, he's going to be an Iron-Faced Judge!

If the time hadn't come yet, I would have given Qin Yan a good beating to dampen her spirits.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, please stop scratching me!"

Qin Yan raised her tear-streaked face, her voice full of pleading.

"It's so itchy, I really can't stand it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng withdrew his attack in triumph.

However, he felt a little disappointed, as he hadn't expected Qin Yan to confess so quickly, before he had even subjected her to severe torture.

With his hands behind his back, Jiang Cheng spoke casually, as if it were none of my business.

"Why didn't you say this earlier? Go ahead and tell me."

Qin Yan bit her red lips, rolled her eyes resentfully, and looked extremely tired.

While tidying his disheveled clothes, he spoke irritably.

"Yang Xu knows that I've come to the Southwest."

Um?!

Jiang Cheng frowned, looking surprised.

Logically speaking, with Old Master Qin covering up his whereabouts, even if the Yang Family wanted to find out about Qin Yan, it would take them quite a bit of effort.

How could it be so fast? Did they cheat?

Is the information reliable?

After tidying her clothes, Qin Yan regained her usual calm and composed demeanor.

If it weren't for the lingering blush on his face, even Jiang Cheng would have thought nothing had happened.

"It can be confirmed."

Qin Yan said softly, "Whitey and the others sent word that Yang Xu will arrive in the Southwest tonight."

They're really in a hurry!

Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue in amazement twice.

According to the plot, Yang Xu should have used such a despicable method as drugging.

However, the plot has now gone completely off track, so we can only guess the general direction it's heading.

I wonder what this guy will do?

"From now on, I will be your personal bodyguard and be responsible for your safety."

"Close bodyguard? What do you mean by 'close'? Negative distance?"

Qin Yan's eyes suddenly became alluring, her red lips curved into a smile, and her voice was soft and seductive.

"Little man, don't be smug!"

"I'm a very suspicious person, and I'm easily misunderstood."

Jiang Cheng:...

This girl, is she never going to stop?

You were begging for mercy just a moment ago, but have you forgotten everything now?

"Yan'er, it seems you're not only suspicious, but also have a terrible memory."

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, feeling it necessary to do something.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Qin Yan decisively softened her stance and changed the subject.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Xu will definitely have to slink back to Capital, and that month-long trip will end ahead of schedule."

She originally didn't plan to tell Jiang Cheng about Yang Xu's trip to the Southwest.

After all, it wasn't a big deal, and she had already made arrangements. Telling Jiang Cheng would only make him worry.

But just now, in order to get away with it, I had no choice but to tell this little rascal!

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.

He was indeed interested, unless that old man from the Yang Family spoke up.

Otherwise, he couldn't think of any major event that could cause a month to end prematurely.

Moreover, if the Yang Family were so willing to give in, they wouldn't have proposed giving Yang Xu a month to develop his skills freely.

Qin Yan blinked her beautiful eyes, her red lips slightly parted.

"What do you think would happen if Yang Xu's affair with his Second Aunt were exposed to the public?"

These words reminded Jiang Cheng.

The scandal involving the Yang Family was mentioned in the plot, but since it didn't affect the main storyline, it was only briefly touched upon.

Moreover, the Yang Family acted quickly to suppress the matter, so it did not cause any significant impact.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's calm expression, Qin Yan couldn't help but speak up.

Aren't you surprised?

This little man, at least give her some reaction, otherwise she'll seem really clueless!

"Not surprised."

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, remaining quite calm. "Isn't this kind of thing quite common in large families?"

Compared to the Lin Family of Lingnan, he only had two words to say: Is that all?

Qin Yan gestured "just a tiny bit" with her thumb and forefinger while continuing to speak, unwilling to give up.

"Not even this much?!"

"No."

Qin Yan: ...

Is it so hard for this little man to simply respond with a word of surprise, as she asked?

She always obliges those strange and embarrassing requests, doesn't she?

Staring at Jiang Cheng's nonchalant expression, Qin Yan bit her red lips with a pitiful look, as if she had made up her mind.

The next second, she grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm with one hand and placed her other hand on his waist.

With puffed-out cheeks, he threatened fiercely.

"Tell me quickly! You're surprised."
