Chapter 271: The flattery hit the wrong spot

"Dragon Ring?" Su Zhenggang was taken aback.

Su Yurou said, "Yeah, it’s the pair of rings Grandma gave me!"

"What?" Su Zhenggang was startled, looking at Su Yurou with a strange expression. He knew a bit about the Dragon and Phoenix Rings and said, "Yurou, you... you gave that ring to Leng Xuan?"

Su Yurou’s face turned slightly red as she said, "Mm-hmm!"

Su Zhenggang was really frustrated. How could this girl make such a rash decision? However, with Leng Xuan present, he did not feel it was right to say much, so he forced a smile. Before he could speak, he heard a voice saying, "Captain Su, Captain Su, are you alright?"

"Little Ning?" Su Zhenggang turned his head and, indeed, saw Ning Xin’er running over with a gun in her hand.

"Huh?" Ning Xin’er was taken aback. She never expected to bump into Leng Xuan here. She glanced at the five men lying around in disarray and immediately understood, letting out a sigh of relief. She put away her gun and gave Su Zhenggang a thumbs-up with a smile, "Captain Su, you’re so amazing. I didn’t expect that in such a short time, you’d already subdued the bandits, and here I was, worried for nothing. Hehe!"

Su Zhenggang felt a little embarrassed and said, "Little Ning, you’ve misunderstood, it wasn’t me who subdued the bandits. By the time I got here, they were already on the ground!"

"Not Captain Su?" Ning Xin’er was surprised, involuntarily glancing at Leng Xuan. Besides Captain Su and the very cute and pretty girl, there was only Leng Xuan. Could it be that he was the one who subdued the bandits? Remembering that Leng Xuan had once subdued several armed robbers barehanded in the bank, she figured his skills must be quite extraordinary, and handling these few would be no problem for him.

However, this thought made Ning Xin’er feel slightly uncomfortable for some reason. She thought to herself, even if it was him, it was no big deal—it’s just five kidnappers, after all. Couldn’t she have done the same? With this in mind, she pursed her lips, displaying an air of indifference towards Leng Xuan and turned to Su Yurou with a smile, "You must be Sister Su Yurou, right? Hehe, you really are very pretty."

"You’re very pretty too," Su Yurou blinked her innocent eyes adorably and said, "Are you Brother Zhenggang’s coworker?"

"Yeah, that’s right," Ning Xin’er replied. "My name is Ning Xin’er."

Su Yurou smiled sweetly and said, "Oh, can I call you Sister Xin’er then?"

"Of course, you can, giggle, then can I call you Sister Yurou?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Su Yurou and Ning Xin’er seemed to hit it off right away, quickly becoming close as sisters.

Leng Xuan was amused and thought, why does it feel like Ning Xin’er is enthusiastic with everyone else, but acts as if I owe her money whenever she sees me? But, as the saying goes, a true gentleman doesn’t argue with ladies, so he didn’t bother to pick a fight with her. He looked at Su Zhenggang and said, "Big Brother Su, before you arrived, I interrogated these kidnappers, but they were tight-lipped and unwilling to say who sent them. However, one of them named Cao Li claimed to be the Crown Prince’s cousin and tried to intimidate me with the Crown Prince’s name. Hmm, it’s that one..." He pointed to the young man whose face he had pummeled into a pig’s head.

"The Crown Prince?" Su Zhenggang took a deep breath and said with an ashen face, "So it was indeed his people."
