After being glared at, Chengcheng's smile faded a little.

It’s just that the words he said are so infuriating no matter how you hear them.

"Xu, sir? How about you go back today and wait until these gentlemen and ladies are no longer in the store. I will notify you and you can come back later?"

Cheng Cheng thought his voice was normal, without any smile, ridicule or contempt.

But to Xu Lingan, all he felt was ridicule and contempt.

Xu Ling'an's face darkened immediately, his eyes were sinister, and he gave an order in a deep voice. "Come here, anyone who interferes with public affairs, regardless of their identity, will be arrested."

"Yes."

Although the yamen runners were stunned for a moment, they still followed the orders of their immediate superior, but they were crying and embarrassed in their hearts.

Last time, when Princess Jiahe and the young lady of the Marquis’ Mansion were captured, they were scolded and their salaries were fined. Now they are the young masters of the Zhang Mansion and the Yong’an Earl’s Mansion. Do they still have a way to survive?

Everyone knows that the Zhang family has only one child, and he is so favored.

Not to mention Earl Yong'an, who dotes on his children and has a hot temper.

They really didn't want to offend him. He was such a hot-tempered person. If he knew that his son and daughter were taken to Jingzhao Yin, Jingzhao Yin would be overthrown.

Zhang Yulin and Yuan Zhizhou, who were still reading, had not yet reacted when they were caught.

However, when he saw someone reaching out to Yuan Zhili, his brain immediately exploded.

The body reacts before the brain does.

As the two men struggled free, they stretched out their legs and fiercely kicked the man who had extended his hand toward Yuan Zhili.

Only a 'bang' sound was heard.

The body slammed into the bookshelf, and the two men kicked at the same place with great anger. Although the bookshelf was not damaged, the books fell out, and the man lay on the ground wailing.

Yuan Zhizhou took the lead and stood in front of his sister, looking at the group of people opposite with an ugly and serious expression.

"What are you doing!"

Zhang Yulin also walked up to the two of them and looked at Xu Lingan with a grim face.

Before Xu Lingan could explain, an old man walked in from outside the door.

Seeing the scene in the store, the old man frowned, then looked at the three people inside, and after making sure that they were all okay, he spoke in a deep voice.

"what happened?"

Seeing Master Zhang, Xu Lingan's pupils shrank sharply, "Master Zhang."

The ceremony was interrupted halfway through.

"Grandpa, they are bullying Lili!" It was Zhang Yulin's voice. Seeing his grandfather was like seeing a savior.

After hearing Zhang Yulin's words, Old Zhang quickly turned his eyes to Yuan Zhili and looked at him carefully. He didn't look wronged, but his round eyes were filled with tears.

"how..."

"Wow, why is it so lively here? Mr. Zhang is here too?" Following a wanton and slightly frivolous voice, a tall and strong man walked in.

The man was dressed in brocade and silk clothes, his tone was frivolous and carefree, but his face looked very serious and scary.

The man's nonchalant attitude froze for a moment when he saw the person at the back, his expression extremely ugly. "Lili, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

"Yuan Zhizhou, what's going on? How did you protect your sister?"

Anger rushed to Yuan Zhizhou's forehead. Just as Yuan Zhizhou was about to speak, Zhang Yulin spoke angrily first.

"Uncle Yuan, they are bullying Lili!"

Hearing this, the man, Earl of Yong'an, looked at Yuan Zhizhou with a gloomy face.

Seeing his father's expression, Yuan Zhizhou nodded quickly, "They..."

"bang"

"Snapped"

Before he could finish his words, Earl Yong'an rushed towards Xu Ling'an and his subordinates.

Suddenly, a crackling sound rushed straight to the second floor.

Hearing the loud noise downstairs, Akino, who was playing chess, paused for a moment before continuing to play a word.

"Why don't you go down and take a look? There seems to be a fight downstairs."

Gu Jue obviously heard it too, and said casually with a nonchalant look on his face, "It's okay, Bai Cheng is downstairs, he will take care of it."

Only then did Akino realize that the man's name was Bai Cheng.

The outside world has always called him Boss Bai, and he didn't do any special research until today when he knew the name of the official owner of this bookstore.

The two men didn't care about the noise downstairs and played chess calmly. But after a few moves, the noise downstairs became louder and louder without any restraint. Gu Jue frowned.

"Ah Jiu."

A man in black immediately came in from the door, "Here."

"What's going on downstairs? Isn't Baicheng downstairs?" Gu Jue frowned and asked in confusion.

Unexpectedly.

"Yes, but there is a fight downstairs. The two parties fighting are the Earl of Yong'an and the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture."

"what?!"

Gu Jue stood up quickly, but when he reached the door of the room, he seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped. He stood there thinking for a few seconds with an ugly face, then turned and walked towards Qiu Ye, and stopped in front of Qiu Ye.

"Uncle Qiu, could you please stop them? It's not convenient for me."

There was a hint of grievance and embarrassment in his tone.

"No one knows that this bookstore was jointly opened by Bai Cheng and I, and I don't want to let it out. Could you please help stop it, Uncle Qiu?"

Although his tone was requesting, asking, and embarrassed, his face was also anxious.

But who is Akino?

He dressed in white and sat on the position of prime minister, all relying on his own ability and cunning. How could he not see Gu Jue's true purpose?

Qiu Ye calmly drank a sip of tea, then asked calmly, "Is this the reason why you took the trouble to ask me to stay in the library for half an hour?"

Hearing this, Gu Jue was startled and looked up at Qiu Ye, and immediately met Qiu Ye's sharp eyes that could see through everything.

His real purpose was exposed, and Gu Jue's expression changed again and again.

The person who schemed was discovered, and was embarrassed and frightened after being exposed. The expression on his face kept changing in an extremely strange way.

In the end, everything slowly turned into compromise and giving up.

"Yes, please ask Uncle Qiu to help Gu Jue with this."

After taking a serious look at the person who was playing tricks on him and listening to the noise downstairs that could not be covered up at all, Akino sighed heavily.

"If you have any problems, just tell me. For your uncle's sake, I will try my best to help you."
