As expected, Xu Qian's last words sent Qin Lingzhi into an uncontrollable rage.
"You're asking to die!"
As she spoke, she instinctively swung the whip in her hand, intending to silence Xu Qian for good.
This time, however, before her whip could strike Xu Qian, someone caught it mid-air.
Jiang Yuchuan pushed Cai Jie behind him and stepped forward, catching Qin Lingzhi's whip.
"Miss Qin, that's enough." Jiang Yuchuan's expression was grim. "If you continue, I will have no choice but to escort you to the Ministry of Justice. I doubt even General Huaihua, for all his power, can conceal the truth of you assaulting a merchant in public, nor can he silence every tongue in the land. You have injured someone, and today, you will pay the price for your actions."
Qin Lingzhi had only managed to injure people before by catching them by surprise, striking without a word of warning.
Now that Jiang Yuchuan had a firm grip on her whip, she was completely immobilized.
