224: Xiaojinyanghao is inhumane
Jiang Fei: "You Chengyu said you harbored ill intentions towards me."
Lu Yu inexplicably tensed up.
The night he left the Safety Shelter, he had indeed secretly touched his neighbor's face...
"You Chengyu also said that you saw him as a rival in love, that you were jealous of him, which is why you hit him."
Lu Yu disagreed internally.
Such a person was not worthy of being an opponent.
Jiang Fei fully recounted the day's events to Lu Yu.
Seeing that Jiang Fei's demeanor was normal and she hadn't been affected by You Chengyu's lies, Lu Yu relaxed and explained, "I hit You Chengyu because I didn't want him to keep bothering you."
"You did nothing wrong. Next time you see him, hit him again."
She didn't know what was wrong with You Chengyu's head that he wanted to pursue her.
"Oh, right, I asked the Rescue Team for you today, and they aren't hiring temporary workers."
Lu Yu leaned down slightly and whispered, "The Rescue Team's positions are higher than the Security Team's. Feel free to use your gun; don't mind those people."
"If anything happens, I'll cover for you."
His original intention in taking on official work was to open doors for his neighbors and friends.
"How are the uniforms issued by the Rescue Team?"
Lu Yu stood up straight to show Jiang Fei.
His teammate was handsome and had a good physique, a natural clothes rack.
Jiang Fei praised him sincerely, "They look good."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's lips curved slightly: "I'll go help out."
Many hands make light work; by noon, all the goods on the third floor of the Small Mall were arranged, with only the price tags left to be put up.
The first and second floors mainly sold food, drinking water, beverages, frozen meat, fruits and vegetables, aquatic products, and common brands of paper products and household cleaning items.
The third floor, serving the wealthy, offered the best quality goods, along with jewelry, cosmetics, fresh meat, and some rare post-apocalyptic fruits and vegetables, which were not available downstairs.
Except for the prices on the first floor, which were double those at the Safety Shelter, the other two floors had prices more than tripled.
A single soursop on the top floor sold for 3000 grams of gold.
According to Su Liuyuan, if it was sold cheaply, the rich wouldn't like to buy it; they needed to feel a sense of distinction from ordinary people.
Putting up price tags was a slow job; not only did they have to write the prices with a marker, but they also had to go up and down the stairs repeatedly to check the pricing of each item.
Jiang Fei copied several price lists on paper.
Two for each floor.
Jiang Xiaoshi was sent to deliver them.
This saved everyone from running around.
"Sister Jiang Fei!"
A shout from the entrance caught Jiang Fei's attention.
It was Mo Yanan.
Behind him, Uncle Liu and three bodyguards carried a gleaming golden plaque—
"Ping An Small Mall"
Each character was fully inlaid with tiny diamonds, reflecting dazzling light under the sun.
Jiang Fei was stunned.
"You made the plaque with gold and diamonds?"
Mo Yanan: "Yes, but the plaque is gold-plated."
"I had the workers rush it out. Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
"No."
Jiang Fei reached out and touched the small diamonds on the plaque.
If it weren't for the large pile of diamonds in the Supermarket warehouse, she would have taken the opportunity to pry off a few and take them with her.
Xiao Jin Yang was unbelievably extravagant!
"The plaque can be hung today, Sister Jiang Fei. Have you set an opening date?"
Jiang Fei thought for a moment: "Saturday, I think."
"Residents are off on Saturdays and Sundays, so there will be more people."
Recalling You Yuxi's gentle personality, Jiang Fei asked, "Do you know about the You Family's situation?"
"What kind of people are You Chengyu's parents?"
She had initially intended to use the recording pen as evidence to seek justice for her teammate at the Security Headquarters.
But after hearing her teammate describe the Security Headquarters' background, she changed her mind.
That was the territory of powerful aristocratic families; going there herself would be useless, and she didn't want to trouble Mo Yanan.
Since the child was disobedient, she would find the parents to manage him, solving the problem at its root.
After all, the You Family held a very high position in the capital, second only to the Mo Family, and dealing with You Chengyu privately could easily lead to trouble.
That was her last resort.
"Uncle You and Aunt You are very kind people. Before the apocalypse, they often did charity work, helping those in need. After the apocalypse, they even distributed free supplies to ordinary survivors, but the children they raised..."
Mo Yanan subtly remarked, "One only cares about love, and the other is utterly foolish."
"Perhaps a positive and a positive make a negative."
"Sister Jiang Fei, why are you asking this? Did You Chengyu come to trouble you again?"
Jiang Fei told Mo Yanan her plan.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fei was going to complain, and Mo Yanan's expression became subtle.
A bit childish, but effective.
"The people You Chengyu fears most are Uncle You and Aunt You."
"To avoid being disciplined, he has always lived in a villa outside. Not long ago, because of the robbery incident, he moved back to the You Family."
"You have evidence of him harassing you, so Uncle You and Aunt You will definitely deal with it. If you go, bring Uncle Liu, otherwise the guard won't let you in."
Jiang Fei, a woman of strong action, immediately asked Mo Yanan for the You Family's address.
She left the Small Mall to Lu Yu's management, took Uncle Liu, and drove off in a pickup truck.
—
The You Family's estate was located in the suburbs of the capital.
As soon as Jiang Fei stopped the car, the guard came out with an electric baton.
"No parking here, drive away immediately!"
Uncle Liu rolled down the passenger window: "This is my Young Master's friend, here to visit Mr. You."
Mo Yanan had brought Uncle Liu to the You Family before.
And Uncle Liu was with Mo Yanan every day, so most people in the capital knew him.
The guard quickly opened the gate, allowing Jiang Fei to drive in.
Immediately after, he ran to the guardhouse and used the intercom to contact the people in the villa, informing them that Young Master Mo's friend and Uncle Liu had arrived.
Uncle Liu got out of the car halfway: "Miss Jiang, that villa ahead is where the You Family lives."
"You are going to complain to You Chengyu's parents, and as Young Master Mo Yan'an's person, it would not be appropriate for me to show my face."
"Moreover, Second Miss You also likes my Young Master. If she sees me, she might think Young Master sent me to find her."
Jiang Fei: "Then take my car and leave."
"No need, Miss Jiang. I brought a walkie-talkie; I can contact the bodyguards to pick me up."
"Be careful."
Jiang Fei restarted the car and drove to the villa Uncle Liu had pointed out.
She took out the recording pen from the Supermarket warehouse, got out of the car, and walked up the steps.
At the same time, the door opened.
You Yuxi, dressed in an elegant white long dress, her small face beaming with a smile:
"Uncle Liu, why are you here? And you brought Yan'an's friend..."
You Yuxi's voice abruptly stopped, and she looked at Jiang Fei blankly: "Where's Uncle Liu?"
Jiang Fei: "He left. I have something to discuss with Mr. You."
"So you're the Young Master Mo's friend the guard mentioned."
You Yuxi stepped aside, gesturing for Jiang Fei to enter the house.
Then, as if remembering something, she instantly pursed her lips, putting on a serious, stern face.
She absolutely wouldn't smile at her love rival!
Noticing You Yuxi's sudden change of expression, and that she even snorted and turned to leave, Jiang Fei felt bewildered.
She put on disposable slippers and, led by the housekeeper, walked towards the living room.
Father You was sitting on the sofa reading a book, around forty years old, with a dignified demeanor.
You Chengyu was not home; he had probably gone to the Hospital to bandage his wounds.
Seeing Jiang Fei approach, Father You dismissed the housekeeper and said, "Please sit. And you are?"
"Jiang Fei, Young Master Mo Yan'an's friend."
Jiang Fei didn't sit down but directly stated her purpose.
"Mr. You, I'm here today because Young Master You has repeatedly bullied my friends and me. We were forced to hit Young Master You."
"We're afraid he'll retaliate even more severely, so we thought of coming to you to handle it."
Jiang Fei said, half-truthfully, handing the recording pen to Father You: "Here is the evidence."
Father You pressed the play button on the recording pen in confusion, his stern brows gradually furrowing.
When he heard the line, "The Security Team is controlled by our superiors," Father You's face grew even uglier.
You Yuxi, who was secretly listening nearby, also looked a bit angry.
How could her brother bully people?!
"Scoundrel!"
"He's utterly lawless! Who taught him to use his status to bully people and even force women?!"
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked down the stairs. Her appearance was eight or nine parts similar to You Yuxi's; it was Mother You.
"Old You, why are you suddenly so angry? I heard it all upstairs."
Noticing Jiang Fei standing in the living room, Mother You was startled:
"You... are you surnamed Chen?"
