Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Hurry up and sign the termination letter, come back to me!

Zhao Lang let out a light chuckle, “Young Master Jiang, don’t be nervous, I was just joking. You’re Daddy’s guests, how could I possibly come to settle scores with you?”

“That won’t do,” Jiang Yan said. “I, Jiang Yan, have roamed Jiang Lake for twenty years and have never left a debt unpaid. Just wait.”

Having said that, he scurried into Jiang Li’s room and soon returned with a pen and a piece of paper in his hands.

“Here’s the IOU. I’ve written it already. Just sign it, and you can present this IOU to me in the future. As long as it’s within my power, I will definitely honor it!”

Jiang Yan spoke with resounding conviction. Zhao Lang did not refuse and stretched out two slender fingers to pinch the note.

“I’ll accept it, then. It’s getting late; I’ll go call Daddy back for dinner. You rest here for a while.”

...

Having finished speaking, Zhao Lang turned and left the cabin.

Jiang Yan watched his retreating figure, and, with one hand rubbing an uninjured spot near his chin, he mused,

“This Daniu brother seems much more reliable than that Mr. He.”

When he turned around, he unexpectedly found Jiang Li, too, gazing thoughtfully at Zhao Lang’s departing silhouette.

Jiang Yan’s face darkened immediately, but considering the presence of cameras, he could only lower his voice and say,

“Hell, don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to that Zhao Daniu now? Although it’s great you’re no longer bothering Shang Shaojing, you can’t just fall for everyone you meet, right?”

Jiang Li still did not shift her gaze, but after a moment of silence, she slightly moved her lips.

“Don’t you find Uncle Zhao’s son very strange?”

Following her gaze, Jiang Yan looked again and, assuming a gossip-like demeanor, leaned closer to her.

“Have you noticed too? Have you figured something out? Could it be Uncle Zhao has been cuckolded?”

Jiang Li: ?

“I don’t know,” she shook her head, “I just feel there’s a lot of suspicious things about this person.”

“His agility is exceptional; to climb a tree so nimbly and jump down—there’s no way he would have had such a catastrophic fall with you.”

“And that ointment; the blood loss ingredient isn’t ordinary at all but is Cedar Blood instead. Given Uncle Zhao’s household situation, even if they had such medicinal herbs, they would think first to keep or sell it in the market, not give it away so readily to you.”

Even more baffling was the string of Buddha Beads he wore on his hand.

Those weren’t simple wooden beads but natural Blood Amber, which, due to its rich color, would appear almost black in reduced light.

The beads were lustrously round and appeared to be a natural creation.

Such Blood Amber Buddha Beads were not something a common family could afford.

She too, during her time in Daqi, had the fortune of seeing a string offered as a tribute by monks from another country.

Just that one string.

How could treasures only the Royal Family could afford end up in the hands of a villager?

Faced with Jiang Li’s analysis, Jiang Yan’s mouth hung open in surprise.

“Now I finally understand why they always say ‘a woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets’. Tsk-tsk, you’re far too sensitive. Daniu is just an ordinary young man. He doesn’t put on airs or act aloof; he’s much better than Shang Shaojing and He Yun.”

Jiang Li knew that further explanation to him was futile and simply uttered, “As you wish,” before entering the room and closing the door behind her.

Jiang Yan curled his lip.

“Such a temper; she won’t even let me speak.”
