Chapter 355

As a child, how could she possibly bear such pressure?

"Don't cry. Your big brother still has some say in Liyue."

Jiang Yan gently stroked Little Ningguang's small head, yet no one could see the chilling coldness condensed in his eyes.

If Ganyu or Morax or others were to see Jiang Yan in his current state,

they would discover that Jiang Yan was now on the verge of raging fury.

"Leave this matter to your big brother to handle, alright?"

Jiang Yan did his best to maintain his expression; he did not wish to show his dark side before a child.

"Th-thank you, big brother!"

Little Ningguang sobbed; she tried to stop her tears, but no matter what, they would not cease.

"Alright, go save your mother first."

"Your big brother will follow shortly."

Jiang Yan spoke gently; Little Ningguang nodded, then ran toward the direction of her home.

After watching Little Ningguang leave, Jiang Yan turned around, and the killing intent in his eyes continued to gather.

Thud!

Jiang Yan's figure flashed, and he vanished instantly.

At the entrance of the Moon Sea Pavilion.

Jiang Yan pushed open the door and walked in.

"My Lord Tianquan!"

Almost everyone respectfully greeted Jiang Yan.

"Hevia, summon the chief of the Qianyan Guard for me."

Seeing Hevia, Jiang Yan spoke to her.

"Yes!"

Although puzzled as to why Jiang Yan would suddenly summon the chief of the Qianyan Guard to see him, Hevia would not speak out against it to his face.

Arriving on the second floor of the Moon Sea Pavilion, Jiang Yan saw Ganyu, who was busy with work.

Upon seeing Jiang Yan, Ganyu put down the documents in her hand and handed him one of the prepared papers.

"A-Yan, this is the information regarding the village where Little Ningguang is located."

After learning of Little Ningguang's situation last night, Ganyu had investigated and compiled that very night the details of Little Ningguang's identity, how many people were in her family, what her ancestors did, the village she lived in, the village's location, and who the successive village heads were.

"Mm, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Yan nodded, his face showing no expression whatsoever.

But Ganyu clearly sensed that Jiang Yan was very off today.

"What's wrong? You look very unhappy today."

Although Jiang Yan showed no expression, Ganyu, who knew him well, still detected the ever-growing low pressure emanating from her man at this moment.

"Come with me to the third floor."

Jiang Yan sighed and led Ganyu to the third floor.

Afterwards, he detailed to Ganyu the incident with Little Ningguang he had encountered that morning.

"What did you say?!"

Ganyu slammed the table hard, her face filled with anger.

"How could such lawless things happen around Liyue Harbor?!"

"What on earth are those Qianyan Guards doing?!"

"So, I summoned the chief of the Qianyan Guard."

"By the way, go prepare; later, you and I will go to the village where Little Ningguang is located."

Jiang Yan spoke indifferently, coldness in his eyes.

"In the capacity of... Liyue's Tianquan!"

"Good!"

Ganyu nodded, turned, and walked down.

Not long after, Hevia came up and said to Jiang Yan:

"My Lord Tianquan, the chief of the Qianyan Guard has arrived."

"Let him in."

Jiang Yan lifted his teacup, took a light sip, then picked up the document Ganyu had just handed him and examined it carefully.

When the chief of the Qianyan Guard walked in, Jiang Yan smashed the empty teacup directly onto his face.

"My Lord Tianquan, spare my life! What wrong have I done?!"

Terrified, he immediately knelt on the ground, daring not to raise his head.

"What wrong have you done?"

Jiang Yan stood up with a cold sneer, killing intent filling his eyes.

"Tell me, are the policies promulgated by the General Office being strictly enforced in the areas surrounding Liyue Harbor right now?"

"Yes!"

The chief of the Qianyan Guard kept his head down, speaking with a tone of certainty.

"The policies and laws promulgated by My Lord Tianquan have been strictly enforced by this subordinate at all times."

"Is that so..."

Jiang Yan walked up to the chief of the Qianyan Guard and spoke to him.

"Stand up."

The head of the Qianyan Guard stood up, and then Jiang Yan kicked out again.

Bang!

A human-shaped crater instantly appeared in the wall.

"Tell me, is this strict enforcement?"

Jiang Yan grabbed the head of the Qianyan Guard by the hair and yanked him out of the wall.

He snatched the documents from the table and flung them in his face.

"Tell me, what is this?!"

"Good, Liu Yan."

"You are truly impressive."

"Is this the work you supervised? Only supervising those who don't give you gifts, and turning a blind eye to those who do, right?"

Jiang Yan now wished he could grind this person in front of him to dust and scatter their ashes.

The documents in Jiang Yan's hand detailed all the evidence of the head of the Qianyan Guard taking bribes to do business during his tenure.

Originally, Jiang Yan just wanted to call Liu Yan in to ask if he knew about the situation in Little Ningguang's village.

He didn't expect Little Ganyu to directly give him a completed investigation list.

Jiang Yan didn't look, and didn't know; he looked, and was terrified.

What a damn huge audacity!

The people under Liu Yan, relying on bribing Liu Yan, ran wild in their jurisdiction!

What happened in Little Ningguang's village was not an isolated case!

The filthy and dirty things they did were countless!

This explained the scene just now.

Liu Yan trembled, his face full of terror.

"My lord Tianquan, spare my life! Ah!"

He frantically knelt on the ground, cowering with a terrified face, too afraid to stand up again.

"Spare my life?"

"Spare what life?"

Jiang Yan glared, speaking coldly.

"You, the head of the Qianyan Guard, are so powerful..."

"Your reach extends to the heavens!"

"Who dares to take the life of you, my lord Liu Yan!"
