Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Faced with the three people's statements, Wei Xing just smiled and did not explain.

He forced down the turbulent blood in his body, waved the white paper fan in his hand, and said calmly, "Yuan Jie, sneak out through the back door, go to Chang's house, talk to Master Chang about this, and ask him to come and take charge of the situation for you."

"Okay, Brother Xing, I'll be there right away." Yuan Jie responded respectfully and immediately stood up and left.

Wei Xing looked at Wan Feiyan and said with a grin, "Sister, don't just sit there! Go downstairs quickly and help your brother deal with those wealthy people. Otherwise, your brother will be in a mess if he is alone."

"Hmph! Why should I listen to you? Just because you are Gu Chan's person, I don't have to listen to you, right?" Wan Feiyan said arrogantly.

Di Lin hurriedly persuaded, "Miss Wan, you may not understand him. According to you, he is the second in command of our shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper is here, we have to listen to him. When he is not here, we have to listen to Brother Xing."

"Is that so? Then it seems that I really underestimated you." Wan Feiyan said with a smile.

It was not until then that she began to take Wei Xing seriously.

Wei Xing was not a boastful person, and said modestly, "Miss Wan, we don't have time to argue here. Go down and help your brother, otherwise he will be overwhelmed."

"Okay, since you're the second-in-command, I'll listen to you this time." Wan Feiyan said with a smile.

After saying that, she immediately got up and left.

When she walked past Wei Xing, she deliberately glanced at him and gave him a meaningful smile.

Wei Xing scratched his forehead awkwardly, pretending not to see it.

After she left, Di Lin teased, "Brother Xing, I wonder if Miss Wan has taken a fancy to you?"

"Forget it! Her eyes are so affectionate even when she looks at a dog. She doesn't look like a loyal woman. I don't want to have anything to do with her." Wei Xing said disdainfully.

He may not be able to judge men accurately, but he is absolutely confident that he can judge women accurately at a glance.

Although today was the first time he met Wan Feiyan, he could tell from her every move and even her expression that this woman was definitely not a good person. Of course, he couldn't say that Wan Feiyan was a bad person. He could only say that there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and some people's attitude towards feelings is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Di Lin did not say much about this matter, and instead asked, "Brother Xing, is there anything I can do to help you now?"

"If you recover from your injuries, it will be the best help you can give to the little boss. He had been counting on you and Yuan Jie to open the Yao Duoduo shop as soon as possible. But not only were you beaten half to death, you also lost the imperial sword. Didn't that hold him back? So you have to recover from your injuries quickly, open the shop as soon as possible, and don't cause him any more trouble." Wei Xing reminded.

"Brother Xing, thank you for your reminder. I understand now. I promise not to hold you back anymore." Di Lin said with a guilty look on his face.

Wei Xing nodded quietly, and after the two chatted for a few more words, Di Lin stood up, said goodbye, and went back to his room to rest.

Wei Xing walked to the desk and sat down, reading a book while quietly waiting to see the show.

In the lobby downstairs.

The fact was just as Wei Xing had expected. Normally, when Wan Peng was managing this small gambling house, he had no problems at all. But when he was facing hundreds of well-known wealthy and powerful people in Jiangnan City, he seemed a little stretched.

Especially Xiao Xiang, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. She was born with an extremely oppressive aura. Just by sitting there, she could bring a strong sense of oppression to people. In addition, there were hundreds of wealthy people adding pressure to her, which resulted in Wan Peng being unable to breathe, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

When Wan Feiyan came down, she saw her brother being crushed like this, so she quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Xiao Xiang, and helped her brother out, saying, "Miss Xiao, please forgive me if my brother didn't treat you well just now. And everyone present, I also ask you to be patient. Right now, we two siblings really can't ask Manager Gu to come and meet everyone in a short period of time."

"We'll give Wanyuanfang another stick of incense time. If Gu Chan doesn't come to see us after this, then starting tomorrow, your Wan family's gambling house will no longer be open." Xiao Xiang took a sip of the fragrant tea and said coldly.

"Yes, you Wan family are so presumptuous to make us wait for so long."

"And that Gu Chan, he's just the owner of a small caravan from the north, but he dares to be so arrogant, he's so bold."

"We have been waiting here since this morning. We are so angry. If we can't see Gu Chan today, we will definitely take it out on your Wan family."

As Xiao Xiang spoke, all the wealthy families followed suit and shouted angrily.

Obviously, everyone had been waiting since morning, but there was still no sign of Gu Chan, which made them very angry.

Wan Feiyan and Wan Peng looked at each other, and both siblings showed helplessness on their faces.

Sure enough, what Wei Xing said was right!

The news of the burning of Jiangnan Garden of Jiangnan Academy last night has spread throughout the entire Jiangnan city today. Everyone sitting here is a well-known and wealthy family in Jiangnan City. How could they not know that Gu Chan was arrested and imprisoned in the county jail last night?

But this group of people tacitly kept silent about the matter and only asked Gu Chan to come and see them. Isn't it obvious that they want to put pressure on Gu Chan while targeting the Wan family?

By then, the Wan family will be controlled. Given Gu Chan's relationship with the Wan family, how could she not think of a way to save the Wan family?

In this way, wouldn't it be much easier for these wealthy people to buy spirit beast blood from her?

So this is all a game of intrigue and the undercurrents hidden behind it are far more turbulent than what appears on the surface.

Just when the brother and sister were oppressed and dared not speak, a carriage drove up to the gambling house and stopped.

Chang Wei brought Yuan Jie out of the carriage and walked into the gambling house at a leisurely pace.

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Chang? Why are you here too?"

"Mr. Chang, please come and sit down. It just so happens that we can't wait for Gu Chan. I heard that you have a good relationship with him. It's a good thing that you are here."

"Yes, yes! Master Chang, please take a seat!"

The big households had angry looks on their faces just now, but when Chang Wei came, their expressions immediately changed and they all greeted him with smiles.

Chang Wei politely responded to each greeting, then walked straight to Xiao Xiang and sat down.

Xiao Xiang's face was stiff. He put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, glanced at Chang Wei, and began to look serious.

She could ignore anyone present, but she did not dare to underestimate the eldest son of the Chang family. After all, Chang Wei was extremely famous in the Jiangnan area and was not comparable to ordinary people.
