Chapter 443: Aiming to Please Jing Yan
Jing Yan was somewhat puzzled by the recent arrival of City Lord Yuan Jihu.
Compared to the encounter at the Song Family’s residence two days ago, he seemed like a completely different person. Moreover, Jing Yan didn’t feel any malice from Yuan Jihu at this moment.
One could even say that Yuan Jihu’s attitude towards him now seemed to contain a measure of respect.
What was going on?
"City Lord, please execute this thief!" Gao Lan continued to bellow on the other side.
Yuan Jihu’s arrival had emboldened him, stirring his emotions. Thus, he hadn’t noticed Yuan Jihu’s attitude towards Jing Yan. He only heard Yuan Jihu state his duty to intervene as the Haofeng City Lord.
However, Gao Lan’s disciple revealed a hint of shock. He took a slight step back, sensing something amiss. The City Lord’s demeanor towards Jing Yan didn’t resemble the hostile confrontation rumored outside.
If the City Lord truly intended to handle Jing Yan, would he courteously address him as Mr. Jing Yan? The disciple glanced at his master, Gao Lan, uncertain of how to warn him.
"Shameless old fool, aren’t you embarrassed?"
"You’ve thrown away all the face of our Haofeng City! Totally oblivious to life and death, you even dared to embezzle Mr. Jing Yan’s property! You really have the nerve!" Yuan Jihu’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Gao Lan, his eyes glinting icily as he berated loudly.
Gao Lan’s arrogant expression instantly stiffened. Even if he was out of his mind, he could now tell that Yuan Jihu was roaring at him.
What was this about?
