266: I really want to stab Lu Yu to death

"Cheng Yu, don't be afraid, Mother is here."

Mother You gently comforted You Chengyu, but he pushed her away.

"Get lost! Don't touch me!"

You Chengyu roared, his pupils unfocused, and he didn't recognize Mother You, clearly stimulated and delirious.

Father You and Mother You stood by, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Jiang Fei walked over and knocked him out with a single chop to the neck.

The agitated You Chengyu instantly quieted down.

"Should we send him to the Hospital or call a doctor here?"

Father You & Mother You: "..."

This girl's actions were surprisingly decisive.

Father You was the first to recover, telling the driver to go to the Hospital and invite a doctor.

Then, he asked Sister Jiang:

"Miss Jiang, where did you find Cheng Yu? How did he get such serious injuries?"

Sister Jiang told Father You and Mother You everything about Cao Xiuhong being beaten last night and what she heard in the abandoned small factory.

She did not conceal the deaths of Ge Zhicai and his subordinate.

They were all from the Capital and would not reveal the truth to outsiders, which would stir up conflict between the two bases.

"If anyone asks about Ge Zhicai's whereabouts, just say you don't know, and that I found You Chengyu by the roadside."

She wasn't sure if any residents had seen Ge Zhicai beating You Chengyu last night.

But she had injured Ge Zhicai, and Aunt Cao had also had a conflict with him, making it easy for Pei Wenlong to trace it back to them.

She pre-warned Father You and Mother You to avoid her lies being exposed later.

Mother You gratefully clasped Sister Jiang's hand:

"Child, don't worry, you saved Cheng Yu and punished those who harmed him. Uncle You and I will definitely keep it a secret."

"Also, go back and tell Cao Xiuhong that Cheng Yu's injury isn't her fault. It's not her mistake, so don't let her blame herself."

Father You: "You don't have to worry about the Fengquan City Base. If they trace it back to you, I will handle it."

"How dare they bully my son? I won't let the entire base off the hook!"

"Why are you being so fierce? You'll scare the child again." Mother You glared at Father You, then turned back to Sister Jiang with a smile:

"Stay for dinner tonight. Auntie will cook something delicious for you."

"No need, Aunt You. Yu Xi is still at the mall, I need to go back and tell her the news."

After bidding farewell to Father You and Mother You, Sister Jiang drove back to the small mall.

Seeing Sister Jiang return, You Yuxi eagerly ran forward: "Sister Jiang, is there any news about my brother?"

"Yes, I sent him back to the You Family. Mr. You and Madam You are taking care of him."

"Thank you, Sister Jiang! I'll properly thank you when I have time!"

With that, You Yuxi left in a hurry.

Noticing Cao Xiuhong walking out of the lounge, Sister Jiang was startled: "Aren't you resting at home?"

"I couldn't stay at home, so I came to work at the Ping An Small Mall." Cao Xiuhong rubbed her hands, cautiously asking:

"Boss, how is Young Master You doing?"

She had just heard everyone talking about You Chengyu's disappearance.

Knowing the clothes he was wearing and his appearance, she had confirmed that the person who saved her was You Chengyu.

"He suffered some minor external injuries and needs rest. I've told Mr. You and Madam You about this, and they asked me to tell you not to blame yourself, that it wasn't your fault."

Sister Jiang raised her hand and patted Cao Xiuhong's shoulder: "Don't overthink it. Even if you weren't at Ping An, Ge Zhicai would have caused trouble that day."

"Everyone helping and taking care of you is hoping you'll cheer up and live well, not for you to feel burdened."

Cao Xiuhong nodded heavily, tears welling in her eyes: "I remember, Boss."

"Go get busy."

After Cao Xiuhong went upstairs, Sister Jiang went to help Su Liuyuan exchange willow catkins for the residents in line, but her mind was on the conversation between Ge Zhicai and his subordinate.

Those two seemed to have eaten a lot of female flesh.

She had a teleportation talisman, so she could go to the Fengquan City Base tonight to check it out. It would be a good opportunity to dump their bodies there and also get some free loot.

—

Evening.

Jiang Zhengkang and Cao Xiuhong had prepared dinner, and everyone went to the lounge to eat.

Ling Zhaorui and the others also came after work, bringing Zhou Wanqing, whom they had met on the way.

Zhou Wanqing, as usual, brought two 500g gold bars as her meal fee.

Not seeing Lu Yu, Zhou Wanqing just happily smiled, when he returned.

"Something happened in the Capital." Lu Yu sat on the chair opposite Sister Jiang and repeated:

"Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa of the Fengquan City Base are missing. Their boss, Pei Wenlong, made a big scene in the Base Leader's office this afternoon."

"The Base Leader ordered a search for the two, saying he would give Pei Wenlong an explanation."

"Ge Zhicai had previously caused trouble at the Ping An Small Mall. The Security Team and Pei Wenlong will definitely come to investigate and inquire. You just need to answer truthfully; there's no need to be nervous."

"Their disappearance has nothing to do with you. The Security Team and Pei Wenlong won't make things difficult for you."

Su Liuyuan and Zhou Wanqing's expressions changed.

One guessed it was the captain's doing, and the other felt guilty for being an accomplice during the day.

They knew nothing!

The two buried their heads in their food.

Sister Jiang, on the other hand, seemed much calmer.

The Security Team and Pei Wenlong had no evidence, so she wasn't panicking!

Just as she was thinking, Mo Yanan arrived.

"Sister Jiang Fei, I'm here to deliver the gold my dad bought for the dumplings."

"The car is parked at the back door of the warehouse, and there are also gifts of gratitude from Aunt You and Uncle You that they asked me to bring."

Mo Yanan pulled up a chair and sat down, handing Sister Jiang the car keys.

"I heard Aunt You and Uncle You say that you found You Chengyu by the roadside. Did you see Ge Zhicai?"

Last night, Goddess Sister wanted to settle scores with Ge Zhicai, and today he's missing. He suspected that this matter was related to her.

Sister Jiang feigned confusion: "Since Ge Zhicai left the mall last time, I haven't seen him. What's wrong?"

"Ge Zhicai has been missing for a day and a night. Sister Jiang Fei, if you see him, please notify me, as everyone is looking for him."

Unable to get anything out of her, Mo Yanan stopped probing.

Anyway, there was no evidence pointing to Goddess Sister, so why bother worrying?

Mo Yanan went to the cabinet to get a set of bowls and chopsticks, staying to freeload on dinner.

Jiang Zhengkang and Cao Xiuhong made a large amount of steamed pork ribs with fermented black beans, scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, and candied yam tonight.

The dishes were colorful, aromatic, and delicious, and Mo Yanan couldn't help but praise: "Sister Jiang Fei, your people cook so well."

"No wonder my dad eats wild vegetable dumplings three times a day. It turns out wild vegetables are so delicious."

Mo Yanan chatted with Sister Jiang while eating.

Zhou Wanqing couldn't get a word in and was stuck in the middle listening to them chat, gnashing her teeth involuntarily.

Just as Lu Yu got up to get more rice, Zhou Wanqing took the opportunity to follow him with her bowl, still unwilling to give up, and egged him on again.

"Do you really not want to drive Mo Yanan away?"

"He and Fei Fei are talking and laughing. Doesn't seeing this make you uncomfortable?"

Lu Yu: "If you want to go, you go."

Although he said that, Lu Yu glanced at the dining table in the distance.

That guy surnamed Mo was indeed an eyesore.

If only he could package him and Zhou Wanqing up and send them away together.

Seeing Lu Yu leave after speaking, Zhou Wanqing snorted in her heart.

Let's see how long you can endure!

She scooped a bowl of rice and returned to the dining table, only to find her seat taken by Lu Yu.

"You can sit over there and eat. I'm a bit cold and can't sit under the air conditioner anymore, or I'll catch a cold."

Zhou Wanqing: "..."

Such scheming!

She really wanted to stab Lu Yu to death.

Unfortunately, Fei Fei wouldn't agree.

Zhou Wanqing sadly went to Lu Yu's previous seat to eat.

Mo Yanan and Zhou Wanqing left after eating.

Jiang Zhengkang and the others were responsible for clearing the table.

Sister Jiang went to the back door of the warehouse to collect the gold from the truck.

System: [Ding—Gold detected: 10,100,000 grams]

[Current unlock progress: 40%]

She liked this gift of gratitude!

Remembering what she had to do tonight, Sister Jiang returned to the mall and found Lu Yu.

Her teammate had good skills and was tight-lipped, making him very suitable as an accomplice.

"You leave a bit later. I'll take you to a good place."
