652 Another Enemy
The young womanâs name was Long Qingqing. She was the eldest daughter of the Long family and was doted on by the Long familyâs head and elders.
However, he needed to deal with the Feng family head first.
âMaster Feng, this belongs to the Long family. You canât take it away. On account of your past friendship with the Long family, I wonât hold it against you. However, if I find out that you have the intention to steal from the Long family a second time, I will definitely make you suffer!â
The elder of the Long family was filled with a low pressure, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
The Feng family head wanted to retort, but the ropes were already tied around his waist.
If he did not listen to the elder of the Long family, he would be the one to die.
âAlright, I promise. Can you let me go now?â
He bit his lower lip, but there was nothing he could do. He could only agree. However, he cursed internally.
He had never thought that the Long family would have such a good treasure.
The Feng family had always been trustworthy.
Seeing this, the elder of the Long family waved his hand and made the ropes on the waists of the group of people disappear.
Without the restraints, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The elder of the Long family waved his hand and asked someone to take the head of the Long family away and find a doctor to treat him.
Jiang Ming was also warmly invited inside by him. He hoped to have tea with him.
Zhu Asi and the others were not interested in following Jiang Ming. They were planning to teach the Long family elder a lesson.
Tying someone up for no reason was really annoying!
Initially, Jiang Ming did not want to go, but he could not resist the enthusiasm of the Long family elder and had to agree.
Jiang Ming saw an uninvited guest when he arrived at the Long family elderâs mansion.
The young master of the Long family, Long Chengxue.
The two of them had met each other briefly. Long Chengxue knew Ning Caichenâs name, so he said sourly, âNing Caichen, youâre not allowed to sit in the same carriage as Elder Long.â
Jiang Ming retorted bluntly, âItâs just a carriage. I can sit in it if I want to. What does it have to do with you?â
He wondered how he had provoked Long Chengxue.
However, he was not afraid of Long Chengxue.
âHow dare you! This is the Long familyâs savior! Why canât he sit here?â
The Long family elder frowned. He was somewhat displeased.
He had worked hard to save Master Long. What kind of attitude was this?
âYou didnât say thank you, and you even spoke rudely. Chengxue, youâve crossed the line.â
Long Qingqingâs face also turned pale.
She had been separated from Master Long for so long, and it was not easy for them to reunite.
Lord Ning Caichen had saved her father, so she had to thank him!
Why was Long Chengxue being so nasty?
Not to mention the fact that Master Long had a good relationship with Lord Ning Caichen, but the latter had even saved Master Long!
Realizing that he had said something wrong, Long Chengxue coughed awkwardly and said, âElder, my cousin is right. I was wrong. I donât think Lord Ning Caichen will mind. After all, Master Long and Ning Caichen know each other.â
Long Chengxue secretly paid attention to Jiang Ming and snorted internally.
He had already considered the friendship between the Long family head and Ning Caichen. Ning Caichen had to be grateful he was allowed to even be in their presence.
If he dared to retortâ¦
Long Chengxueâs eyes flashed with a ruthlessness that no one else could detect.
He was only saying this to stay in Master Longâs good books. He did not care about Ning Caichen. After all, he was just a poor young man.
âI forgive you. Itâs human nature to be ignorant.â
Jiang Ming said calmly, âElder Long, since Master Long is fine, Iâll leave first. Master Long still needs to recuperate.â
âThen you should let us give you something, at least. You saved the family head, so you canât leave empty-handed,â the Long family elder said enthusiastically.
Long Qingqing also chimed in, âYes, Lord Ning Caichen. If youâre not in a hurry, why donât you stay for a meal? I really donât know how to repay you.â
âNo, thank you for your kindness, Elder Long and Ms. Long. I wonât disturb Master Longâs rest.â
âElder, Iâll go see Lord Ning Caichen off,â Long Qingqing said hurriedly.
It was not easy for her to have a chance to be alone with Ning Caichen, so she could not miss it.
Ning Caichen was a person worth trusting.
âAlright.â
The Long family elder nodded after seeing through her intentions. After the two of them left, he sighed again.
Long Qingqing was divorced. He did not know if Lord Ning Caichen would still be willing to get along with her if he knew that.
âElder, I wonât disturb Master Longâs rest. Iâll leave first.â
Seeing that Long Qingqing and Jiang Ming were not there, Long Chengxue felt that there was no need to stay any longer.
The elders of the Long family respected the head of the Long family. Now that the head of the Long family had finally woken up, the elders of the Long family would definitely focus their attention on him.
Besides, he had just said something that made the Long family elder and Long Qingqing unhappy. It was best to leave now.
âOkay.â
The Long family elder still remembered what he said just now. He didnât have a good expression on his face. He waved his hand to bid him goodbye.
Long Chengxue was furious when he saw how he was being treated, but he did not dare argue. He held back his anger and left. However, his fists were clenched so tightly that veins were popping out.
It was all Ning Caichenâs fault!
He wanted to make Ning Caichen suffer, or else he would not be able to stand the humiliation he had suffered!
After leaving the Long family residence, Chengxue got into the carriage. The coachman drove slowly. With a ruthless look in his eyes, he said to the coachman, âFind a few people to get rid of Ning Caichen.â
* * *
Long Qingqing did not know what to do since she had not had any contact with Ning Caichen. She was silent the whole way with him, but she could not hide the joy in her heart.
Long Qingqing was content to be able to walk side by side with Ning Caichen, and she had no other thoughts.
âThank you for saving my father today. If it werenât for you, I really wouldnât know what to do.â
Long Qingqing coughed. Seeing that they were about to finish their journey, she took the initiative to speak.
She did not want to leave just like that.
âMs. Long, youâre being too polite. Master Long is kind. I was just doing what was right.â
Jiang Ming shook his head.
Just as she was about to say something, Long Qingqing saw Jiang Mingâs thin shirt and secretly bit her lip.
Ning Caichen did not usually wear thick robes.
Now that she was here, she had to make arrangements for Lord Ning Caichen.
âMs. Long, whatâs wrong?â
Sensing that Long Qingqingâs mood was not right, Jiang Ming was concerned.
Long Qingqing turned her head, not wanting Jiang Ming to see her emotions. âItâs nothing. Can you go shopping with me?â
She wanted to buy him more clothes.
