Chapter 57 Is Dad Going to Play the Hero and Save the Beauty?
Seeing Niannian's pitiful expression, Xu Junyan didn't say anything more. He packed the gun that Grandpa Fu had asked for into a box and thoughtfully included spare bullets.
He carried the suitcase and handed it to Old Master Fu, then suddenly remembered something and withdrew his hand.
"Wait, when are I getting my antique?!"
Seeing this, Old Master Fu snatched the two gleaming silver briefcases, paused for a moment, and said, "Alright, alright, I'll personally deliver them in a couple of days!"
What's so difficult about that? Once the gun is delivered, Pei Yunjing will surely stuff a whole bunch of antiques in its place!
Xu Junyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, staring intently at Old Master Fu as if trying to see right through him.
He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, and said in a firm and powerful tone:
"Old Fu, don't forget our agreement. I'm helping you prepare these guns and cannons, but if anything goes wrong, I won't be responsible!"
His voice carried a hint of warning, filling the room with a tense atmosphere.
He was afraid, terrified. He was already so old; if he were to be arrested and forced to work for the government because of this, it would be a terrible loss.
Grandpa Fu stared wide-eyed, his face showing an innocent expression, but a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
He chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth, then patted Xu Junyan's shoulder firmly, comforting him:
"Old Xu, what are you saying! We've known each other for years, how could I possibly harm you?"
Xu Junyan sneered, his expression unchanged, as if he had already seen through Old Master Fu's thoughts.
He took a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, handed them to Old Master Fu, and said in a serious tone:
"In that case, let's sign this agreement!"
Grandpa Fu took the paper and pen, glanced at Niannian standing to the side, and sighed inwardly. He knew that Xu Junyan was always very shrewd in these matters and would not be easily fooled.
Without further hesitation, he quickly signed his name on the agreement and then handed the paper and pen back to Xu Junyan.
Xu Junyan carefully checked the agreement and only felt relieved after confirming that everything was correct...
He smiled and said, "Old Fu, it's a pleasure doing business with you."
Grandpa Fu nodded, picked up the briefcase, and, with Niannian in tow, turned and walked towards the door. Niannian glanced back at Xu Junyan and waved happily.
Grandpa Fu took Niannian back to the Fu family. Along the way, he kept thinking about what kind of antiques Pei Yunjing should ask for so that Xu Junyan could continue to give him good stuff!
Niannian rested her chin on her hands and silently looked out the window. Suddenly, she saw the aunt who had saved her last time!
!!!
Just then, the red light came on; the street was bustling with people and traffic.
Sunlight filters through the gaps between the tall buildings, casting dappled shadows on the bustling crowd.
On this bustling street, the woman hurried through the crowd. Her figure was petite and agile, like a fish swimming in water, moving freely through the flow of people.
Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, which swayed as she ran, making her look exceptionally lively.
Wearing a mask and still dressed in the same black and white outfit she wore when she saved Niannian last time, however, her eyes revealed a hint of tension and vigilance.
Just as she plunged into the crowd, trying to use the crowd as cover, several tall men in black quickly appeared behind her.
Their steps were steady, their eyes sharp, their gaze fixed on the woman's back as they followed her at a leisurely pace.
The presence of the men in black was like a group of cheetahs lurking in the shadows, silently approaching their prey. They moved swiftly and nimbly, and had already surrounded their target without a sound.
However, those around them were unaware that a tense atmosphere was gradually spreading.
They remained immersed in laughter and joy, busy shopping or enjoying delicious food, completely unaware that danger was closing in.
Just then, the mysterious aunt's figure flashed by again, disappearing without a trace like a ghost...
Suddenly, a familiar figure caught Nian Nian's eye—it was Jian Xiaohan.
dad???
Niannian rubbed her eyes in disbelief. "Am I seeing things? How did Daddy end up here?"
She couldn't wait to call out to her father, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back.
no! ! !
He silently warned himself that he must not make a sound.
Because she remembered the plot of a TV series—the female lead always runs away desperately in front, followed closely by vicious villains, while the male lead appears at the crucial moment to save her from danger.
Wow!
Isn't this just like the hero saving the damsel in distress in TV dramas?!
Niannian firmly believed that the scene before her was exactly the same as in the TV series. So, she covered her mouth tightly and silently cheered for her father.
Just then, the green light turned on, and the car that Niannian was sitting in headed towards the Fu family's house.

Meanwhile, inside Pei Yunjing's ancient camp...
Pei Nanxing had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were as cold as frost. He slowly walked towards Gou Sheng, his steps steady and powerful.
As he approached, he suddenly stopped and slowly crouched down, his movements as graceful as a cheetah.
He reached out and gently lifted Gou Sheng's chin, raising his face so he could observe him more clearly.
Gou Sheng stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with fear and confusion, but he dared not resist and could only let Pei Nanxing do as he pleased.
Pei Nanxing carefully examined Gou Sheng's face, a thoughtful smile playing on his lips. Then, he raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile:
"Yun Jing, if you trust me, you can entrust him to me. I will train him to be the most qualified secret guard, what do you say?"
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Pei Yunjing, his eyes filled with confidence and expectation.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunjing was slightly taken aback, and a sense of hesitation arose in his heart.
He recalled everything Pei Nanxing had done during this time and realized that this royal uncle seemed to be truly trustworthy.
He thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said softly, "Alright! Then I'll trouble you, Uncle!"
At the same time, he silently prayed that he had made the right decision.
At this moment, Gou Sheng also overheard their conversation, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart. He quickly kowtowed and expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you, Prince Nanxing, thank you, Sixth Prince!"
Just then, Pei Nanxing suddenly whistled softly, the sharp sound breaking the silence.
A moment later, a dark figure appeared outside the tent. The figure darted into the tent like a ghost, its agility astonishing.
The dark figure knelt on one knee, left hand clasped tightly to his chest, right hand resting on his knee, bowing his head in greeting, and reported to Pei Nanxing:
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
