Chapter 703: A Fox Using Its Tiger’s Might
Three minutes later, Su Wan appeared downstairs with Jiang Xuecheng.
The rain outside had basically stopped, but the ground was still wet.
Before Su Wan could pull Jiang Xuecheng to the place where the robots were, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was a middle-aged man in uniform.
He looked to be in his forties. Although the wrinkles on his face were obvious, his facial features were still deep and three-dimensional. There was a kind of unconcealable handsomeness, and he had a mature temperament that young men could not compare to.
However, this person’s expression was extremely serious. From his clothes to his hairstyle, he was meticulous. He gave off an extremely old-fashioned feeling.
It was surprisingly the person who held an important position in the God’s Palace, Director Fan.
When she saw Director Fan, Su Wan’s forehead could not help but twitch. In her heart, she cursed her bad luck!
It was not good to run into anyone, but she had to run into him!
I say you are a good director. It is already past two in the morning and you still haven’t gone to sleep. Could it be that you are here to patrol?!
Just as Su Wan secretly cursed her bad luck and wanted to bring Jiang Xuecheng to turn around and leave, Director Fan clearly saw the two of them!
Director Fan narrowed his eyes. He looked at the figures of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, and his face revealed some confusion.
That was Su Wan, and the other one was the emperor?
How could it be!
But looking at that tall and noble figure, it was indeed His Highness.
Before Director Fan could clear his mind, he called out without thinking.
“Your Highness, Wait for me!”
As he spoke, Director Fan immediately chased after him with large strides!
When Su Wan heard that call that was neither too far nor too close, her face instantly froze. Now it was even harder to hide!
The heavens want me dead!
Although Su Wan had not stayed in the God’s Palace for long, she had heard a few gossips about Director Fan from the nurses.
It was because the high priest had returned a few days ago. In her half-asleep state, Su Wan heard a few bored nurses talking about the world. The main characters were the high priest and Director Fan.
They all said that Director Fan was the favorite in front of the high priest and had been favored for many years. Some people even suspected that Director Fan was having an affair with the high priest.
The high priest was too cold and there were very few gossips about her. The last time the high priest came back, she had unfortunately become the gossip of the nurses.
Even if Director Fan later married a wife and had children, it still could not eradicate the gossipy hearts of the masses.
Who asked the high priest to wear a face as beautiful as a flower? She was not married yet, and only had some admiration for this man.
Whether it was true or not, Su Wan was basically certain of one thing — Director Fan was on the high priest’s side, and he was smooth and smart.
Su Wan was somewhat afraid that Jiang Xuecheng would not be able to hide it from him, so she quickly gave him a warning look.
After all, the other party was just a general manager of the God’s Palace. Jiang Xuecheng was a dignified emperor, and the God’s Palace was ruled by him. He could not possibly run away from a general manager, right?
Just as Su Wan was feeling apprehensive, Director Fan had already run over.
Director Fan, who was dressed in a neat uniform, smiled and bowed respectfully to Jiang Xuecheng.
“Your Highness, why did you come out in the middle of the night? Didn’t you…”
As he spoke, Director Fan’s wrinkled eyes shone even brighter, as if he wanted to stare through Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.
It was not Director Fan’s fault for not being able to control his emotions. There was a reason why he was so agitated!
The emperor’s schedule was very normal. In the past, after nightfall, His Highness lived alone and would never appear so early in the morning!
Even after Su Wan lived on the same floor as him, he had never seen the two of them go downstairs!
If Su Wan knew what Director Fan was thinking, she would definitely laugh at him mercilessly.
That was because Jiang Xuecheng only had a six-year-old IQ in the middle of the night. He did not know where to go out!
Jiang Xuecheng did not look askance. He calmly held Su Wan’s hand. His gaze was not only cold, but also extremely arrogant.
“What right do you have to question my decision?”
The man’s handsome face was filled with hostility. It was like ice and snow that could not be melted at the top of a mountain. It made one’s hair stand on end!
When Director Fan heard this, he instantly shivered. He suddenly shut up.
What happened to His Highness today?!
Director Fan suddenly felt that he had been wronged!
Just a moment ago, he had been talking and laughing with Miss Su from afar. However, when he walked closer, it seemed like he had bumped into the muzzle of a gun?!
Director Fan hesitated for a moment. He gulped and finally raised his head in anticipation, meeting the incomparably deep eyes of Jiang Xuecheng.
“Your Highness, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that in the middle of the night…”
Before Director Fan could finish speaking, he suddenly felt the emperor turn his head and cast a cold glance at him.
This young man was one round younger than him, but his aura was something he had never seen before in his life.
That glance seemed to be a threat, but also a warning.
Director Fan’s lips parted. This time, he completely did not dare to speak.
The night air was clearly cold, but Director Fan felt that his hands were sweaty.
Director Fan knew that this emperor was eccentric, but other than the time when Fiennes gave Miss Su the Guqin scores, Jiang Xuecheng had never been angry at him!
Could it be that he had been too tactless and had disturbed the time when the emperor and Miss Su were in the prime of their lives?
This answer appeared in Director Fan’s heart. He swept his gaze across the dark sky and could not help but have goosebumps.
However, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he should not have asked about the matters of the emperor. He was indeed not qualified.
Director Fan gritted his teeth. He did not dare to think any further.
His fingers were pinched until they turned slightly white. He forced himself to take a deep breath so that his body did not tremble.
“Then I will take my leave first.”
Before Director Fan’s voice had faded, he immediately walked away with quick steps. At first, he still walked, but later, he actually trotted. Clearly, he was really frightened by the serious expression on Jiang Xuecheng’s face.
After Director Fan fled in a panic and completely disappeared, Su Wan could not help but laugh.
Although Jiang Xuecheng had not been in the God’s Palace for long, he was born with a solitary aura and had always kept others at a thousand miles away. After Director Fan left, even if he sensed something strange, he would not think too much about it for a short time.
Cough, cough. The feeling of a fox using its tiger’s might was really good.
Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s curved eyes and excitedly grabbed Su Wan’s arm.
He tilted his head as if he was taking credit. His handsome face was filled with an expression of wanting praise.
“Wan Wan, do I look like I’m learning it? Look, I scared that person away just now!”
When Su Wan heard that, she could not help but laugh. The corner of her mouth could not help but twitch violently twice. She only taught Jiang Xuecheng this interstellar common language, but Jiang Xuecheng spoke it very well.
She nodded and reached out to stroke Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder.
“Do your best. When you see other people later, remember to do it again, understand?”
…
Without the obstruction of Director Fan, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng quickly arrived at the joint custody of the robots.
Su Wan had Jiang Xuecheng follow the previous method and threaten the guards who were in charge of Nono as usual.
Those guards, of course, were more afraid of Jiang Xuecheng than Director Fan. They were almost trembling in fear as they handed Nono over.
Everything went incredibly well, but…
