Su Qianxue was left speechless. No matter how many calculations she made, she never anticipated that Lin Qingyue would resort to such ruthless measures.
Glancing once more at the wounds on Jiang Han's neck, her concern surged anew. This time, the Lin family had only hired a Dead Man, likely to test his skills.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Han shook his head. It wasn't a test; they simply looked down on him. Lin Qingyue knew well that Jiang Han lacked martial arts skills, and besides, there was no one in the shop. A single Dead Man could easily kill an unarmed ordinary person.
If she were in Lin Qingyue's position, she wouldn't have gone through the trouble of hiring multiple Dead Men; one would suffice to deal with Jiang Han. However, she kept this thought to herself. Given that the other party genuinely cared for his safety, Jiang Han could only reassure her.
"Just respond to whatever comes your way; there's no need to worry too much."
"Miss Su came here just to tell me about the Lin family?"
Indeed, it was to inform him about the Lin family. However, the intention had changed: No, she also wanted to give Shopkeeper Jiang a gift!
"Yan Dong!"
The girl named Yan Dong had arrived earlier to check on Jiang Han's safety.
"Miss."
Su Qianxue said, "Yan Dong will follow you from now on!"
She was quite capable and could handle five or six Dead Men by herself without any issues.
Jiang Han was somewhat bewildered; they had only met a few times and had exchanged a single item.
"I appreciate your kindness, Miss."
Seeing that he was about to refuse, Su Qianxue quickly added, "You must accept not just my goodwill but also my person! You are someone who can easily provide food supplies for Two Hundred Thousand Troops for a month; your life is precious! In the future, when the court needs supplies, they will rely on me to purchase from you. If the Lin family loses their power, they won't let you off easily!"
She had even prepared a reason for him. If Jiang Han continued to decline, it would seem as if he were guarding against her.
At this moment, Jiang Han did feel a bit like guarding against her. After all, keeping his secrets hidden from others was in his best interest!
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Respectfully accepting your offer would be best; I will take your person. However, I have one condition: she can only appear within my line of sight."
This meant that Yan Dong could not approach places where Jiang Han did not allow her to go.
Su Qianxue frowned slightly. "What about the danger?"
Jiang Han smiled and compromised, saying, "I won’t let danger appear outside her sight." Upon hearing this, Su Qianxue finally agreed, "Alright!"
She didn’t even realize that her concern for Jiang Han had gradually surpassed that of a ruler for a subject. Yan Dong remained silent, knowing that Shopkeeper Jiang's actual skills might be better than hers. She figured she wouldn’t easily forget the murderous intent in Jiang Han's eyes.
The wound on Jiang Han's neck no longer pained him. He slowly stood up and said to Su Qianxue, "No merit, no reward. I am a businessman, and Miss, you are also a businessman. I have accepted your people, and I have something to give you in return."
He presented her with an exquisite glass ornament. The translucent phoenix appeared lifelike under the candlelight. Su Qianxue had seen many rare treasures, but this was the first time she encountered something made of such material.
" Shopkeeper Jiang is willing to gift me this?" she wondered. Jiang Han had no intention of giving it to anyone else. However, he needed to test the status of glass in the Great Zhou. The best person for this test was Su Qianxue.
Dressed so luxuriously, she must have encountered all kinds of treasures before. If she was so interested in the glass, it indicated that there was indeed a market for it! The Phoenix Glass he had obtained by chance would be a pity to keep hidden away; if Miss Su didn’t want it, then he couldn’t accept her people either.
Jiang Han’s attitude was very sincere. Su Qianxue loved the Phoenix Glass, and since the other party had tied its safety to the deal, how could she refuse? "I will cherish it well!" The light in her eyes sparkled as if she had received an extremely precious treasure.
Seeing this, Jiang Han felt reassured. As night fell outside, Su Qianxue achieved her goal and decided not to linger any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she took her leave with her entourage.
Jiang Han was left alone, feeling somewhat troubled. He had never prepared a room for a woman before. Currently, he was the only one living in the shop; the other two stayed at their own homes. However, there were plenty of empty rooms available.
Yan Dong seemed to understand Jiang Han's predicament and quickly said, "Just help me find an empty room; I can prepare everything else myself." After all, there was still the agreement that prohibited entering places Jiang Han had restricted.
Jiang Han pointed out a few rooms for her and took out some bedding from the storage room. "This room is filled with various supplies; if you need anything, just register and take it."
The registration process was quite casual.
After all, Jiang Han really didn't need to deal with such complicated matters before.
Yan Dong nodded and said, "Well, if you don't mind me, I can help you with the miscellaneous registrations on a daily basis. After all, being in your sight will allow me to work and prevent others from making wild guesses."
Jiang Han thought for a moment; this was indeed a good idea. "Alright, starting from today, you'll assist me with the registrations."
It was already very late, and he had been wanting to sleep.
The next morning.
Lin Zhentian was feeling restless.
"The Dead Man sent by the Heir yesterday hasn't come to relay any messages," he said. "Could something have gone wrong?"
Lin Qingyue, who had been waiting for news all night, had lost her patience and had gone straight to sleep. At this moment, she yawned sleepily and said, "Father, don't worry. It's probably stable."
Jiang Han was just a useless person without any strength; that Dead Man could easily assassinate the guards of Lin Manor.
Jiang Han couldn't escape!
Not to mention that there was no one in Jiang Han's shabby shop; even if there were people, Jiang Han wouldn't be able to escape!
Lin Zhentian thought about it and agreed. His daughter had a deep understanding of Jiang Han. That little waste would only have a chance if something miraculous happened.
Lin Qingyue sneered and said, "Let's send someone to check it out. When our people return, they might even help collect Jiang Han's body!"
The person sent wasn't just to confirm whether Jiang Han was dead; they were also there to see if there were any other supplies left in Jiang Han's shop.
If they could find additional military supplies from the Jiang Family Shop, that would be even better!
Before the spies of the Lin family could leave Lin Manor, they spotted someone lying inside the door.
As the subordinate walked in for a closer look, he realized that this wasn't just someone lying down; this person was definitely dead!
Moreover, the clothing of this individual matched exactly what the Dead Man mentioned in Jiang Jiang's army!
His eyes widened in shock as he quickly turned around to report back to Lin Qingyue.
