125: Jiang Fei and Lu Yu look like an old married couple
Jiang Fei curiously took out the small cloth bag and opened it.
Inside were a white pearl bracelet and a white pearl necklace.
The quality of the white pearls was excellent, with a soft and warm luster.
"Why are you suddenly giving me pearls?"
"Recently, we haven't received any gold; everyone is saving it to buy things at the Supermarket. They're only using pearls for favors, and the quantity is too much. I learned from my team members and made them into bracelets and necklaces. Consider it a gift for the opening of your branch Supermarket."
Lu Yu casually picked up a cleaver and sliced the raw beef Jiang Fei had placed on the cutting board.
"I like it very much." Jiang Fei put on the bracelet and put away the necklace.
It was hot, and wearing a necklace felt like being confined, stuffy and uncomfortable.
Jiang Fei continued to stir-fry, while Lu Yu stood beside her, cutting meat and occasionally helping her with seasonings and empty plates.
The office door was open.
Su Liuyuan and the others, sitting in the hall, saw everything clearly.
With his good brother not around, Su Liuyuan found it boring to ship the couple alone, so he shared with Jiang Zhengkang and Han Yang:
"Don't Lu Yu and the Captain look great together?"
Han Yang nodded, "I think the atmosphere between them is like an old married couple, calm yet warm."
Jiang Zhengkang was surprised, "Is Lu Yu Fei Fei's boyfriend?"
"No, they're not dating yet. I'm just imagining."
Jiang Zhengkang: "..."
Not understanding the younger generation's thoughts, Jiang Zhengkang took Xiao Shi to play elsewhere.
Su Liuyuan and Han Yang were excitedly shipping the couple.
Just then, Zhou Wanqing and Xiao Chuxia returned and overheard their conversation.
Xiao Chuxia was the first to object, "My Miss is beautiful on her own!"
Zhou Wanqing didn't speak, but her gaze towards Lu Yu was full of scrutiny.
However, his height, looks, and voice were all impeccable.
No matter what, no man was worthy of her Benefactor!
The more she looked, the more Lu Yu seemed an eyesore, so Zhou Wanqing got up and went to the kitchen.
"Let me help."
"Comrade Lu has been busy all day, please go rest outside."
Lu Yu: "It's fine, this little work isn't tiring."
Seeing Lu Yu occupying the spot and not moving, Zhou Wanqing gritted her teeth and stood behind Jiang Fei.
"Boss, I want to learn how to cook. Can I stay in the kitchen to learn?"
Jiang Fei readily agreed.
She couldn't come to the Supermarket to cook every day; she still needed to train a chef.
Jiang Fei taught Zhou Wanqing while stir-frying, occasionally handing over the spatula for her to practice.
Noticing that Jiang Fei's attention was entirely diverted by Zhou Wanqing, and he had become invisible, Lu Yu felt a strange discomfort and found a topic:
"Xiao Chuxia's roommate, Jiang Mengyi, is dead."
Zhou Wanqing immediately tightened her grip on the spatula, her heart in her throat.
Jiang Fei turned her head and asked, "When did that happen?"
"The night before last, we found her body in the Common sleeping area. Her tongue had been cut out, and she was disemboweled."
"There were no eyewitnesses, and no clues about the killer. This matter can only be left unresolved."
Speaking of this, Lu Yu frowned slightly, "The Rich Area hasn't been peaceful these past two days either."
"The security guards there have repeatedly discovered people trying to sneak in, but they haven't caught them; the culprits got away."
"You all should keep your doors locked. The Safety Shelter has been very chaotic lately."
Jiang Fei felt it was a pity.
She had originally planned to use Jiang Mengyi to deal with Chen Wenwen and watch them fight.
She didn't notice that Zhou Wanqing, beside her, was unusually quiet.
After nearly two hours, all the dishes were done, and the steamed rice was ready.
Xiao Chuxia and the others went to the kitchen to help carry dishes and serve rice.
"It's been so long since I've had Miss's cooking! I'm going to eat five big bowls tonight!"
Clang—!
A sudden crashing sound came from downstairs.
"Jiang Fei, get out here!"
Recognizing Chen Wenwen's voice, Jiang Fei took off her apron and went downstairs.
The others followed closely behind.
As soon as they reached the first floor, they smelled a faint sour odor.
It was within a tolerable range, so Jiang Fei didn't wear a mask.
The chair by the door had been kicked over.
Chen Wenwen stood in the hall, her face sallow and haggard.
A teenager, about eighteen or nineteen, sat on the cash register, clutching a calculator. He was Jiang Fei's paternal half-brother, Chen Wenhao.
Seeing Jiang Fei come down, Chen Wenwen roared, "What methods did you use to make me smell so terrible?!"
"If you don't get rid of this stench on me today, I'll smash your Supermarket!"
That day, after she left Ping An Supermarket, a terribly foul smell appeared on her body halfway, directly scaring away the driver and Jiang Mengyi.
She kept vomiting non-stop.
When she finally got home, her father didn't even have the mood to scold her for spending gold; he just ordered her to take a bath.
But the stench seemed to have burrowed into her body; even scrubbing until her skin broke didn't wash it away.
Locked in her room for over half a month, it had only faded significantly today.
Jiang Fei calmly said, "Everything needs evidence. The air in my Supermarket has always been fresh, and I didn't touch you that day, so how could I have made you smell bad?"
Xiao Chuxia: "If you don't like cleanliness and don't take baths, and you're so smelly that you're pickled in it, why blame others?"
Chen Wenwen's face turned red with anger: "I shower more than ten times a day! Am I not clean?!"
"It was clearly your doing! Otherwise, why did I start smelling bad after going to Ping An?!"
"Sister, why waste words with her? Just smash things until she admits it, right?" Chen Wenhao smashed the calculator with a 'patta'.
He jumped off the cash register and was about to throw something from the shelf.
Bang—!
"Ah!!!"
A bullet pierced Chen Wenhao's outstretched right hand.
"Wenhao!" Chen Wenwen frantically went to check his injury, then turned back, glaring fiercely at Jiang Fei, who had fired the shot.
"You randomly fired a gun and harmed a survivor! I'm going to report you to the higher-ups! Have your position revoked!"
"No need for such trouble." Lu Yu took out his walkie-talkie and contacted the team members on duty tonight: "Someone is smashing up the Supermarket and causing trouble, violating the Safety Shelter's regulations. Come and make arrests."
"Your Rescue Team has no right to arrest me! I am the Eldest Miss of the Chen family!"
"I order you to quickly send my brother to the Hospital!"
Her family doted on her brother the most; if they knew he was injured while out with her, they would never let her off lightly.
Coincidentally, she and Chen Wenhao had secretly driven out tonight without a driver or bodyguards.
Chen Wenwen grew a little anxious: "Are you not listening to me?!"
"Quickly come and help my brother... Ah! What are you doing?! Let go of me!"
Before she could finish, she was restrained by two arriving team members and handcuffed.
Seeing Chen Wenhao on the ground with a gunshot wound, a team member paused: "Team Leader Lu, he..."
"He tried to steal things, so I shot him. Remember to take care of him."
Lu Yu emphasized the words "take care of him" heavily.
The implication was to make them suffer.
The two team members understood and forcibly took Chen Wenhao and Chen Wenwen away.
Su Liuyuan curiously asked Lu Yu, "Why do the team members call you Team Leader Lu? Have you been promoted?"
Lu Yu: "Yes, the Patrol Team of West Street is under my command now."
"Awesome, my brother! Now we don't have to worry about anyone causing trouble at the Supermarket!"
Xiao Chuxia spoke with concern, "Those two just mentioned the Chen family; they seem to have quite a background. Will Miss and Brother Lu be punished?"
Jiang Fei: "The Chen family provoked first; the authorities won't show favoritism just because of their status."
"Moreover, the Chen family isn't some big shot. I'll deal with them in a while."
The debts from her previous life and this one, they would settle them one by one.
After telling everyone to go upstairs to eat, Jiang Fei wrote down the losses on the first floor on a piece of paper, intending to send it to the Chen family for compensation.
Lu Yu stayed to clean up, remarking as if casually, "Don't you think that woman's stench was very familiar?"
"We smelled it in the Common sleeping area."
Jiang Fei didn't hide it this time, taking out a small bottle of ordinary version 'Dog Hates' perfume from her pants pocket.
After getting the enhanced version, she had used small spray bottles to decant three bottles of the ordinary version.
One bottle could be sprayed four times.
Lu Yu, Xiao Chuxia, and Ling Zhaorui lived in separate dorms, and if they encountered situations where they couldn't use a gun, they could still use 'Dog Hates' perfume to disgust people.
Ling Zhaorui and Xiao Chuxia's portions were given to them during the last supply delivery.
Jiang Fei made up a story: "This is a special perfume I got from the boss. It will start to smell five minutes after being sprayed."
"This bottle is for you. Spray anyone who doesn't cooperate with your work."
Recalling that smell, Lu Yu wasn't very keen on taking it.
If it accidentally leaked, he would become a walking stink bomb.
But since it was from his neighbor, Lu Yu still accepted it.
He'd enshrine it at home.
After writing out the exorbitant bill, which Lu Yu's team members delivered to the Chen family, Jiang Fei went upstairs to eat.
To celebrate Lu Yu's promotion, she got out a few bottles of drinks.
Zhou Wanqing ate her meal distractedly.
If she had power, she could, like Lu Yu, arrest those who wanted to bully her Benefactor.
She could also successfully enter the Rich Area and kill Chen Wenwen...
