The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Chapter 254 Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots

Hua Bei didn't understand why Jiang Tunan suddenly started singing, but he had seen her crawling in the dark in the county jail before, so it was normal to think so.

The villains were arrested by the police, and they were respectful.

"My dear officers, I didn't do anything wrong today. Are you mistaken?"

"Stop talking nonsense and be quiet!"

Jiang Tunan looked at this scene, smiled knowingly, and walked up to the leading officer and said,

"Brother officer, thank you for your hard work."

The leader smiled and said,

"Miss Jiang, you are too polite. This is my job. These bullies have always been a headache for us. This time, with Miss Jiang's identity, we can convict them."

The officer respectfully returned the girls' school token that the driver had given him to Jiang Tuanan. At first, when he heard that the case was reported because of those bullies, he wanted to just brush it off. It was not until the driver showed the girls' school token that he realized something was wrong.

It just so happened that he had been fed up with these people for a long time, and now he could find a good reason to put them in jail.

Hua Bei had been watching Jiang Tunan's movements from a distance. When he saw her suddenly move closer to the officer, he whispered something in the officer's ear. The officer just nodded and patted his chest as if to make a promise.

Jiang Tunan nodded to Guanchai and then walked towards Hua Bei.

"What did you just tell him?"

Hua Bei was really curious. He felt that he was becoming less and less able to understand what kind of person Jiang Tunan was.

At first, when he looked at Jiang Tunan, he thought she was just an ordinary woman with a simple mind. However, after what happened before, he always felt that Jiang Tunan was not as simple as she looked. On the contrary, she was sometimes very smart.

"I didn't say anything. I just told him to keep them locked up for a few days and not let them out early."

Jiang Tunan shrugged meaninglessly.

"To eliminate harm for the people."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Hua Bei supported his left hand with his right hand, his back was slightly bent, his hair was disheveled, and there were wounds on his face. He looked very embarrassed. At this moment, Hua Bei's stomach rumbled and his face turned red visibly.

Jiang Tunan kept shaking his head when he saw him like this. He didn't expect that the so-called second male lead is doing so badly now. How did he become the second male lead before? Was it because of his love brain?

Or is it that when you lose your love brain, you also lose your brain?

According to the script, Hua Bei is a deep-minded, intelligent person who loves to manipulate people's hearts, otherwise she would not become the biggest stumbling block in the love story of the hero and heroine in the end.

"It's that simple."

Jiang Tunan turned and walked away, but when he saw Hua Bei still standing there, he stopped again.

"Let's eat something together?"

Hua Bei hesitated for a moment and followed Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan gave another ingot of silver to the driver when he passed by.

"Please go to the side and have some tea and rest for a while. I'll be there soon."

The driver didn't expect to earn several months' salary in one trip, so he was naturally happy to see it happen, so he went to the side happily.

Jiang Tunan took Hua Bei into a restaurant. Jiang Tunan found a seat in a corner and sat down. Hua Bei stood aside and looked a little puzzled. Jiang Tunan saw that Hua Bei did not sit down and spoke.

"Sit down, what are you doing standing there?"

After Hua Bei finished listening, he sat down opposite Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan held his chin with one hand and said lazily,

"Just order whatever you want to eat. I'm rarely so generous."

Jiang Tunan was glad that she had brought money with her today, otherwise she and Hua Bei would have to eat at roadside stalls.

The waiter quickly walked to the table. When he saw Hua Bei's outfit, he felt a little disgusted, but since Jiang Tunan's dress was not like that of an ordinary person, he did not show it too obviously.

Hua Bei spoke in a hoarse voice,

"Then...then have a plate of vegetables and a bowl of white rice."

Jiang Tunan frowned when she heard this. Why is he so pitiful, brother? She even felt a little sorry for him.

"Waiter, please bring more of your meat dishes. One or two vegetarian dishes will be enough."

Jiang Tunan turned to Hua Bei and said,

"Thank you for saving me so much money. Tell me, how did you end up like this?"

Hua Bei placed his right hand lightly on the table, his eyes drifting towards the ground.

"After we parted that day, I found a way to come to Kyoto. That day you said that if I didn't accept it, I should investigate the truth of that year myself. I think the escort agency travels all over the country every year, so we should be able to find out a lot of information."

"So I applied for the job of escort, and my life was on track at first. I also asked around about the things that happened in the Zhenguo Mansion, until I met that group of people."

"They recognized me right away. To avenge the incident at Wushi Village, they deliberately disrupted my escort every time. They either put rats in our food or secretly threw snakes at us when we were sleeping."

"Those things are not life-threatening, but they are very disturbing to us."

"Later, the people from the escort agency found out that they were targeting me alone, and because they thought I was just a new apprentice, they drove me away."

"Later, I could only move goods at the dock and continue to inquire about news."

Jiang Tunan sighed after hearing what happened to Hua Bei.

"You are so miserable. Are you hiding under the covers and crying secretly every night?"

Hua Bei: ...Actually, I sometimes think like this.

"Ahem, it's... it's okay."

The waiter at the restaurant quickly brought a few meat dishes, and the aroma of the food instantly filled Jiang Tunan's nostrils.

Jiang Tunan swallowed his saliva, looked at the dishes on the table and said,

"Since those people are so troublesome, have you ever thought about dealing with them?"

Hua Bei lowered his head slightly and said slowly,

"Those people have no killing intention towards me, and I don't have to have killing intention towards them, and..."

Hua Bei glanced at Jiang Tunan.

"I think what you said before is very right. Sometimes blindly killing people can't solve all problems."

Jiang Tunan: ...That's the logic, but I always feel like something is weird.

Oh no, I must have taught people to be saints.

"So you just let them do it?"

Jiang Tunan was a little bit unbelievable. Is this Hua Bei still Hua Bei? Where is his world-weary personality? She thought that after being treated so harshly, Hua Bei would be so angry that he would kill someone.

"They really went a little too far today."

Hua Bei looked thoughtful. The table was already filled with dishes. Jiang Tunan sighed softly.

"Forget it, they've already gone in, and nothing will happen in the future."

After saying this, Jiang Tunan stood up and prepared to leave.

"I have asked enough questions, it is time for me to leave."

"You don't want to eat these?"

Jiang Tunan took out three large ingots of silver from his purse and placed them in front of Hua Bei.

"I don't want to eat anymore. I have to hurry back to the Xiao Mansion. It's already very late today."

Hua Bei was silent for a moment and then spoke again,

"Those people, do you want them to never get out?"

If so, did Jiang Tunan do this for himself?

Jiang Tunan paused and gave a mysterious smile.

"Today's scene was chaotic, so they didn't react. But when they calmed down, they knew it was me. Although I was masked today, the driver used the female school token with my identity information engraved on it to invite the officials. As long as they ask around, it won't be difficult for them to find out who I am."

Jiang Tunan hugged his waist with both hands, speaking lazily,

"Although it may be difficult for me to have any contact with them again, I don't want to plant hidden dangers for myself. If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows~"

Hua Bei's heart trembled.

"Are you..going to kill them?"

"No, I just asked the officers to detain them for a few more days, and then find a time to tell Lord Ye, the Jingzhao Yin, that these people came from Wushi Village. If they were ordinary hooligans, it would be a small matter of maintaining public order at most. But you also know that Wushi Village is now related to the Zhenguogong Mansion, then..."
