275: I killed my sister.

To get the cat treats from Jiang Fei, Big Yellow lay down, exposing his belly, all four paws in the air, tilting his head, and meowing softly at her.

"Meow~"

Quick, give it to him!

Unable to resist Big Yellow's coaxing, Jiang Fei only fed him a tiny piece of cat treat.

About the size of a fingernail.

Big Yellow smacked his lips, not tasting anything.

"Meow meow!"

A bigger one!

"Eating too much isn't good for you."

After speaking, Jiang Fei went to the kitchen, closing the door behind her to prevent Big Yellow from following.

She took out wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, fresh meat, flour, and other ingredients to make dumplings for Father Mo.

This time, the fillings were bamboo shoot and pork, and amaranth and egg.

After making twenty bags, Jiang Fei put them in the refrigerator to freeze, then used her mind to check the Supermarket warehouse for containers that could hold multi-grain flour.

There were a total of 40 iron cans, 60 glass jars, 70 glass bottles, and 120 plastic jars, with countless plastic bottles.

All had a capacity of 500g.

Some she had found during her previous zero-cost shopping sprees, and some were spice jars and grain containers she had used up, washed clean, and kept.

Jiang Fei entered the Supermarket and went to the multi-grain mill on the 6th floor.

On the display screen of the grinding machine, she selected "Hair Growth and Blackening Powder," canned, 500g, quantity 10.

She wanted to test if, when grinding a large quantity, the Supermarket would automatically collect it.

She clicked "Confirm," and the grinding machine started working.

A glass jar appeared on the platform below the powder outlet.

As the powder flowed out of the outlet, it filled the jar.

Another glass jar appeared, pushing the first one off.

If Jiang Fei hadn't quickly caught it, the jar would have fallen to the ground and shattered.

However, some powder spilled out of the jar.

After the grinding machine finished working, Jiang Fei placed 5 jars on the table before going to get something to clean up the powder on the ground.

No matter how much powder was ground, the Supermarket would not automatically collect it; she had to manually stand by the machine, take the jars, and then seal them.

Thinking this, Jiang Fei started the grinding machine again.

She ground "Blood Replenishing and Vitality Five Red Powder," "Beauty and Skincare Powder," and "Spleen and Stomach Strengthening Powder."

Fifty bottles of each.

Next time she went to the small mall to collect gold, she would send the multi-grain flour and abalone together to sell.

After capping all the bottles and putting them into the Supermarket warehouse, Jiang Fei exited, ready to rest.

As soon as she opened the door, Big Yellow hugged her leg.

"Meow!"

Two-legged beast, give me some food!

Guessing Big Yellow's meaning, Jiang Fei ruthlessly refused: "Don't even think about it, you need to control your weight."

"If you don't let go, I'll give you a bath?"

Big Yellow immediately released his paws and sat down obediently.

Actually, he wasn't that greedy~

—

The next day.

Jiang Fei was still deep in sleep when ding-a-ling—

The doorbell of the villa rang.

At the same time, Mo Yanan's voice came from the intercom by her pillow.

"Sister Jiang Fei, I've brought people to install protective equipment. Is it convenient for you to open the door now?"

"Give me a few minutes." Jiang Fei grabbed the intercom and replied, then got out of bed to wash up.

She glanced at the clock on the wall.

6:30.

Xiao Jin Yang woke up quite early.

She changed into her outdoor clothes and went outside to open the door for Mo Yanan.

A truck was parked at the entrance.

The bodyguards had already moved all the boxes from the truck bed.

There were 7 large boxes in total, and she didn't know what was inside.

Mo Yanan: "The first batch of protective equipment for the polar day has been produced, and I've received a portion."

"The boxes contain sun-blocking, heat-insulating, and warming fabric, sun protection film, Venetian blinds, and installation tools."

"These items are not only more effective than ordinary sunshades but can also block up to Level 5 UV rays."

"Sister Jiang Fei, have your friends all woken up?"

"I'd like to install them on your doors and windows today."

Jiang Fei contacted Lu Yu and the others via intercom.

After confirming that everyone was awake, she informed them about the installation of the protective equipment.

Lu Yu, Ling Zhaorui, Xiao Chuxia, and Mother Xiao, who had to go to work, came out and handed their house keys to Jiang Fei.

Su Liuyuan, Jiang Zhengkang, Han Yang, and others decided to open the mall later today.

After washing up, they came to help Mo Yanan's bodyguards install the protective equipment.

First, all the curtains in the 5 villas were removed, then the windows were fitted with special sun protection film.

Finally, Venetian blinds were installed.

This double layer of protection ensured that not a single ray of light would penetrate during the polar day night, preventing it from disturbing their sleep.

As for the warming fabric, half was hung on the villas' security doors, and the other half was kept to cover the cars.

This was to prevent damage to these metal cars and doors if temperatures rose during the polar day.

After the protective equipment was installed, Jiang Fei returned home and pulled the living room's Venetian blinds to check the effect.

The originally bright living room was plunged into complete darkness; it was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

No need to worry about not being able to sleep during the polar day.

Jiang Fei satisfactorily pulled open the Venetian blinds.

The heat-insulating film on the windows was light gray, which didn't hinder her view of the outside.

Things produced in the Capital are quite good.

Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Fei asked Mo Yanan: "Will you stay for a meal?"

"It's past nine now; we can have lunch in a little while."

Just as Mo Yanan was about to agree, squeak—!

A harsh sound suddenly rang out.

It sounded like a car slamming on its brakes.

The two walked out of the courtyard.

You Chengyu ran out of a commercial vehicle.

Behind him, two bodyguards followed, panting heavily from exhaustion.

"Sorry, Young Master... he drove in... we couldn't stop him..."

"You two go rest." Mo Yanan waved the two bodyguards away and looked at You Chengyu:

"What are you doing in Fenglin Villa District?"

"Yu Xi has been kidnapped!" You Chengyu explained anxiously:

"The kidnappers contacted me using her intercom, demanding that I prepare 10 truckloads of supplies and deliver them outside the base before 12 o'clock, or they'll kill her."

"I didn't tell Mom and Dad because I was afraid they'd worry. I don't have much in the way of supplies; even with what I can buy from the store, I can barely fill three trucks."

"Can you and Jiang Fei lend me some supplies? I'll pay you back double afterward!"

"If you're not at ease, I can give you an IOU!"

"Save the person first." Mo Yanan immediately contacted Uncle Liu via intercom to mobilize supplies.

Jiang Fei, meanwhile, had Su Liuyuan and the others drive Mo Yanan's truck to the mall to load goods.

You Chengyu squatted in place, clutching the intercom used to contact the kidnappers, constantly checking the time on his watch.

Mo Yanan asked Jiang Fei for a bottle of water, then told You Chengyu: "There's no use in being anxious; you can only wait."

"It's not your sister who's been kidnapped, so of course you're not anxious!" You Chengyu irritably ran his hands through his hair, saying guiltily:

"Yu Xi and my parents often do good deeds and haven't offended anyone. I'm the only troublemaking scoundrel in the family, so the kidnappers must be after me."

"Someone wants revenge on me, so they kidnapped Yu Xi."

"I'm the one who harmed my sister."

"She's never suffered or endured hardships since she was little. What if the kidnappers abuse her..."

Jiang Fei suddenly remembered something.

Father You had a conflict with Pei Wenlong.

Pei Wenlong had to compensate 1000 boxes of supplies because of Father You's matter.

And recently, Pei Wenlong had been unusually quiet.

She couldn't help but ask Mo Yanan.

"Has Pei Wenlong left?"

Mo Yanan: "No, he hasn't. His supplies haven't been delivered yet, and the Capital wouldn't let him leave. Sister Jiang Fei, do you suspect he kidnapped You Yuxi?"

"Yes, I haven't seen Pei Wenlong since the discussion meeting ended."

"I swindled him out of 100 boxes of supplies, and he hasn't come to seek revenge on me."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yanan also found it a bit strange and called Qiu Qiu on the intercom.

"What has Pei Wenlong been doing at the hotel recently?"
