233: I don't like him, and he doesn't like me
Jiang Fei proactively spoke, "Are you looking for me for something?"
You Yuxi twisted her fingers, conflicted.
Miss Jiang had helped her today, allowing her to see through Yan Qiantong, that fake best friend.
She had originally wanted to use the excuse of thanking her to ask about her relationship with Mo Yanan, to see if she was her love rival.
But she had sworn never to speak to Miss Jiang again... Seeing You Yuxi remain silent, Jiang Fei thought she had nothing to say and walked out of the Veterinary Hospital.
Da da da —
You Yuxi followed Jiang Fei.
Whenever Jiang Fei stopped and turned her head, You Yuxi would either look at the sky or at her feet, just not at her.
She remained silent the entire time.
After several times, Jiang Fei lost patience and no longer paid attention to the little tail behind her.
After the staff had loaded all the boxes into the pickup truck's bed, Jiang Fei was about to get in when You Yuxi spoke.
"Um, thank you for today..."
"Can I ask you a question?"
Jiang Fei nodded.
"What is your relationship with Mo Yanan?"
"Is he pursuing you?"
Seeing You Yuxi nervously clutching her clothes, with a hint of hostility in her eyes, Jiang Fei suddenly remembered what Uncle Liu had said the last time she went to the You Family,
"Second Miss You likes our young master."
So, You Yuxi always acted strangely when she saw her because she saw her as a love rival?
"Mo Yanan is my supplier; we are just ordinary partners." Jiang Fei added, "I don't like him, and he doesn't like me either."
You Yuxi instinctively retorted, "Then who do you like?"
Lu Yu's image instantly flashed through Jiang Fei's mind.
Why was she thinking of her teammate at a time like this... "I don't like anyone. I have no intention of falling in love."
Hearing this, You Yuxi completely relaxed, her eyes curving into a smile, and she apologized generously, "I'm sorry, I thought you were a love rival before, which is why I treated you that way."
"Actually, you shouldn't have kicked Yan Qiantong so many times just now. If someone had died, even if you were the victim, you would still be punished by the base..."
"Sizzle sizzle —"
The sound of a broadcast speaker by the roadside interrupted You Yuxi's chatter.
"Good afternoon, residents. We are broadcasting an important message: the substances contained in the gray fog have changed."
"During the second phase of the gray fog, inhaling it for more than one minute will infinitely amplify the current emotions of humans and animals, such as excitement, sadness, and irritability."
"According to tests by the Research Institute, the substances in the fog now remain on the surface of clothes and skin for up to half an hour, affecting those nearby."
"The base has seen multiple violent incidents as a result."
"To avoid further casualties, residents are advised to change clothes and shower promptly upon returning home after going out, or to wear disposable protective suits that cover the entire body."
"Clothes worn outdoors need to be placed in a separate room; the residual substances will dissipate only after more than 12 hours."
"Other items will not be contaminated by the substances in the gray fog, so please do not worry excessively, residents."
You Yuxi glanced at the protective suit Jiang Fei was wearing; it didn't fit well, with sleeves long enough to cover her hands and pant legs covering her shoes.
Little did she know, Jiang Fei had intentionally chosen a larger size protective suit to protect her hands and feet.
"I have many small-sized disposable protective suits at home, as well as gas masks in various colors. You can come back with me to get some."
"Things like protective gloves, rubber shoes, and masks are so abundant that we can't use them all. They are all stored in the bungalow behind the villa."
You Yuxi, completely unguarded, revealed the location of her family's stored supplies.
Jiang Fei looked at this naive child with a complex expression.
She truly wasn't afraid that she would go and steal them.
"No need, I have stockpiled protective gear."
Rejecting You Yuxi's kind offer, Jiang Fei drove the pickup truck away from the Veterinary Hospital.
She found an empty spot and put the 6 boxes of medicine from the truck bed into the Supermarket warehouse.
Afterward, she entered the Supermarket.
She took off her clothes and shoes, put them into a sealed bag, showered, and then removed her gas mask.
Changing into a new set of clothes and shoes, Jiang Fei took the vaccines to inoculate the chicks and goslings, and also fed them veterinary medicine specifically for treating coccidiosis.
After cleaning up the filth in Boss's tent, Jiang Fei put on her anti-gas suit again and exited the Supermarket.
Instead of going home, she called Mo Yanan using the walkie-talkie.
Learning that he was at Villa No. 1, Jiang Fei drove over, taking out a large bag in preparation for putting her discarded protective suit into it later.
As soon as she got out of the car and reached the villa entrance, Uncle Liu, wearing a gas mask, opened the door.
"Come in quickly, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Fei quickly went in and closed the door, only to see Uncle Liu remove his mask.
"There's residual gray fog on my clothes..."
Uncle Liu: "It's fine. The Research Institute has developed coiled incense that can clear small amounts of the substance. What you've got on you will dissipate quickly and won't affect us."
"The young master left you a box of coiled incense and sachets. You can place them at home and in the Ping An Small Mall, so you won't have to shower and change protective suits repeatedly. They also calm the mind and refresh the spirit."
"However, this item is currently for the Mo Family's exclusive use. I hope, Miss Jiang, you won't reveal the efficacy of the coiled incense if anyone asks."
"Alright." Jiang Fei took off her gas mask.
The air was filled with a pleasant scent similar to sandalwood.
Led by Uncle Liu, Jiang Fei arrived at the study on the second floor.
Along the way, lit coiled incense was visible everywhere, resembling mosquito coils from before the apocalypse.
The smoke was light, and combined with the celadon jade plate, it created a unique ambiance.
Mo Yanan was half-reclining in a rocking chair by the window. Seeing Jiang Fei arrive, he sat up properly.
After waving Uncle Liu away, he asked,
"Goddess Sister Jiang Fei, why have you suddenly come to see me?"
"I want to cooperate with you to eliminate the Sun Family and the Yan Family."
Yan Qiantong would surely seek revenge once she recovered, so it was better to strike first.
The Sun Family was no good either.
Might as well deal with them all at once.
Mo Yanan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Fei to be so direct, before he regained his composure.
"What's your plan?"
By swallowing the Sun and Yan families, the Mo Family could become the top family in the capital.
If Goddess Sister's plan was feasible, then his cooperation would only be profitable.
"Frame them, and make the Sun Family and the Yan Family fight." Jiang Fei took out Sun Yifan's watch and contribution card that she had previously stolen, and continued:
"I have Sun Yifan's personal belongings, which I can hide in Yan Nanjun's home, pretending he stole them."
"Because Yan Nanjun was expelled from the Cultivation Park for helping Sun Yifan cheat on his written exam, he was resentful and wanted to retaliate by stealing things."
"Who knew Sun Yifan discovered this, and the two got into an argument while driving, leading to a car accident."
"Yan Nanjun indirectly caused Sun Yifan's death, so the Sun Family will definitely demand an explanation from the Yan Family."
"What do you think of this story?"
The method might be old, but it's effective, and that's enough.
Mo Yanan blinked blankly.
Putting aside the fact that Goddess Sister's plan was a bit insidious, how did she get Sun Yifan's things?
"Are Sun Yifan and Yan Nanjun's deaths related to you?"
Jiang Fei hummed in affirmation, and Mo Yanan felt his head buzzing.
The amount of information in these few minutes was too much; he needed to digest it.
