Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 267 - : Betting Agreement
Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Betting Agreement
Jiang Li had just turned around when she was suddenly embraced by a silhouette, with strong arms wrapping her tightly, almost leaving her breathless.
Before she could catch her breath, her shoulder was gripped.
Jiang Yan’s face was full of concern as he examined her from head to toe.
“Are you alright? Are you hurt? Did you get shot or something? If you’re hurt, you must tell me. Don’t try to be brave on your own.”
Jiang Li: “…..”
She expressionlessly pushed Jiang Yan’s hand away.
“If I were injured, do you think I could still be standing here fine?”
Jiang Yan: “That’s true.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly became awkward, alternately stroking his hair and fiddling with the corner of his clothes.
“That….”
Jiang Li turned away to say goodbye to the village chief and Zhao Lang, then turned back to him.
“Speak if you have something to say.”
“I’m sorry…” The words escaped from Jiang Yan’s lips softly, “It wasn’t that I didn’t care about you, I just drank too much and was totally out of it, passed out till now, you….”
Jiang Li glanced at him, her expression indifferent, “Oh.”
Saying that, she turned and entered the house.
Jiang Yan suddenly felt ignored and followed her like a lost puppy.
“It’s not Jiang Li, I’m worried about you, and this is your reaction?”
“What else should I react with? Burst into tears with gratitude?”
Now it was Jiang Yan’s turn to fall silent.
That really wasn’t her style.
He cleared his throat and stopped her with a plea, “Well…well, you also can’t be so reckless in the future. It’s too dangerous for a girl to confront those desperate criminals. And Zhao Lang too, why did he involve you in such dangerous things?”
After packing her things, Jiang Li finally fixed her gaze on him for a moment.
“Jiang Yan, if you don’t know how to show concern, you don’t have to force yourself. Your current manner…it’s very awkward.”
An exposed Jiang Yan: “….”
[Hahaha, I’m going to die of laughter, the young master’s forced attempt at being considerate is really awkward.]
[Looking at it this way, Jiang Yan actually has some conscience, knowing to feel guilty and apologize is a big improvement over before.]
[Lili has such a good temperament; even with Jiang Yan being like that, she didn’t make a fuss or get angry. Indeed, a good attitude is a woman’s best upkeep; I should learn from Lili.]
“By the way, I have something to tell you.” Jiang Li, while folding clothes from the Daton Festival, added, “Originally, your punishment period was supposed to end today, but after what happened yesterday, the crew suggested we rest here for two more days before leaving.”
Jiang Yan was unusually agreeable.
“I’ll listen to you.”
“There’s still a lot left to clean up in the square from last night; go find the village chief and help him clean up when dawn breaks.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
“Also, try not to go out after dark. Zhao Lang and I accidentally let one of the poachers escape, and he might still be hiding around Chixia Village.”
“Alright, I’ll listen—what?!!”
Jiang Yan suddenly stood up from his seat, his face changing color.
“Escaped?!”
Jiang Li nodded, “Yes, he escaped.”
Jiang Yan became frantic, “And you still look so calm? That person must recognize you now, isn’t he going to come back for revenge?”
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Jiang Yan became, pacing anxiously around the room.
“The crew still wants us to stay here for two more days; how can we possibly stay? Even if I don’t go out, that person might still come looking for us. I just came to shoot a variety show; I never thought I’d risk my life here!”
Jiang Li rolled her eyes.
“You can relax, the police have already ambushed the village, that person won’t act rashly due to this incident, however—”
She glanced again at Jiang Yan’s somewhat dark Yintang.
—However, he was indeed about to experience some misfortune.
But seeing how terrified he looked, it was better not to tell him about this matter.
After pausing for a moment, Jiang Li changed her approach, “However, we still need to be cautious. You should also be more careful and stay away from wells and ponds when possible.”
Jiang Yan’s mind was fully occupied with the runaway poacher and he didn’t quite catch what Jiang Li was saying, just nodding his head absentmindedly.
Jiang Li didn’t say anything more and went to bed after washing up.
The series of events today had indeed drained a lot of her energy and she needed proper rest.
She didn’t know how long she had slept when, in a daze, she heard a series of tinkling and clanging noises.
At first, she didn’t pay much attention, but then a loud bang jolted her awake, and she leaped out of bed ready to strike the shadow lurking in the darkness.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the figure spoke out.
“Holy shit, go easy, it’s your brother!”
Jiang Yan felt a chill on his neck and his entire body tensed up.
He still remembered the scene in the surveillance video where Jiang Li knocked down a big man with a single kick.
If that strike had landed, he probably would have ended up spending the rest of his life in bed.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Li frowned and turned on her flashlight.
Seeing Jiang Yan crouched in a corner, her frown deepened.
“What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”
Sporting a pair of huge dark circles, Jiang Yan pitifully held up something in his arms.
“I was afraid of thieves, so I thought I’d secure the doors and windows a bit more.”
That’s when Jiang Li noticed the wood he was holding, and the doors and windows which were nailed shut.
Jiang Li: “…….”
“Jiang Yan, have you considered one thing?”
Jiang Yan: “Hmm?”
“With it like this, not only can thieves not get in, but we can’t get out either.”

Jiang Yan: “!”
He knew something felt off!
…
…
Star Media Entertainment Company.
Shen Lan exchanged looks with the lawyer beside her, then fixed her cold gaze once more on the man sitting across from them.
“Xiao Cai, I’m asking you one more time, who told you to spread those rumors? If you don’t clarify things now, not only will you lose your job, but you will also face legal action. I will work with the company’s lawyers to sue you for defamation and you won’t be able to settle it with just a phrase or two.”
Xiao Cai’s face turned pale, and from fatigue and stress, he began to tremble while sitting on the chair.
What should I do?
Should I expose Su Yinwan?
If he did, he would definitely kiss his one million goodbye.
But if he didn’t, his entire career and life would be ruined.
Having worked in this industry for so long, he knew very well the capabilities of the woman opposite him.
As a former top entertainment agent who had managed numerous influential artists and had launched the widely famous Heavenly God Jiang Yu.
Although she later faced unprecedented public pressure and her career hit rock bottom, she quickly rose again and founded the current Star Media.
