Chapter 107: Chapter 107 You Are a Bully

They seemed quite familiar with the town, pulling her into a tea shop.

Upon seeing Meng Xinian dragging Chiang Xiao, the tea shop owner was momentarily startled but soon ushered them into the small courtyard connected to the back of the shop.

It was only there that Meng Xinian finally let go of Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao immediately stepped back several paces, watching him warily, as if he were a plague, wishing she could be as far away from him as possible.

The round-faced lad and the tea shop owner, seeing their team leader being so unwelcome to a young girl for the first time, couldn’t help but feel both surprised and amused.

Their team leader was the most handsome and promising bachelor in the Aristocratic Family Supervisor Guard Alliance; when clever young girls saw him, their eyes would blossom with peach flowers, longing even for the slightest physical contact with him.

This young girl’s reaction was indeed novel.

The round-faced lad stifled a laugh, yet felt obligated to explain to the young girl.

"Student, don’t be afraid, we really aren’t bad guys. My name is Zhao Xin, and he is our team leader, surnamed Meng, we are..."

Before he could finish, Chiang Xiao interrupted him with a serious tone, "You are Supervisor Guards."

"Eh?"

Zhao Xin widened his eyes in surprise, and his somewhat baby-faced expression made him look even more childish, but he was, in fact, only seventeen.

How did Chiang Xiao know they were Supervisor Guards?

Moreover, her statement was affirmative, not interrogative.

Chiang Xiao continued, this time with an accusatory tone, "But, forcibly taking me here is the act of a tyrant; aren’t you afraid of tarnishing the Guard Squad’s reputation?"

When she said the words "a tyrant," her gaze was fixed on Meng Xinian.

Tyrant Meng: ...

The light in Tyrant Meng’s eyes flashed, and his voice remained steady, "Student Chiang Xiao, you’ve misunderstood. That place was dangerous, not suitable for talking."

That was why he had to take her out first.

Dangerous?

Chiang Xiao didn’t quite believe his words, as she had seen very clearly that aside from the three of them, there was nobody else in that alley just now.

"Is it because of the task you want me to help with that there’s danger?"

In other words, it was their problem, and any danger was directed at them; if she were just a passerby, she would have nothing to worry about.

Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow.

This young girl had a Longxin heart, her wits were even more abundant than he had imagined.

If so, she should be extremely suitable for the task.

"You’re right," Meng Xinian nodded, "The matter is urgent, Student Chiang Xiao; could you please listen to what I have to say calmly, then decide whether you want to help or not? Rest assured, we will never force you; everything is based on voluntariness."

This time, Zhao Xin understood Meng Xinian’s plan.

But, would it work?

This young girl was just a village lass; the matter was very dangerous!

The big team leader always said their leader was daring to the point of recklessness, and he was willing to take big risks; it seemed he wasn’t wrong!

Meng Xinian kept his gaze on Chiang Xiao.

Rarely did he see a young girl who dared to maintain eye contact with him like this, those large eyes full of vigilance. This vigilance was not the same as fear; it was clear the young girl knew he was about to push a massive problem onto her.

It was a look of disdain and a desire to flee far from such trouble.

"Can I refuse?" Chiang Xiao pursed her lips.

Seeing her like this, Meng Xinian couldn’t help but feel amused inside.

If the situation weren’t so dire and tense, he might actually want to tease this little lass a bit.
