316: Friends I haven't seen for a long time

“Miss Jiang Fei, why are you so late today? Is it because the weather is too hot and you're not feeling well?”

“These dandelions I dug this morning, take them home and steep them in water to drink; they can clear heat.”

“I just traded some supplies for a bag of purslane. This can be eaten raw; try some.”

“The temperature is high today, Miss Jiang Fei, I’ll fan you.”

The stall owners were even more enthusiastic towards Jiang Fei than before, offering her wild vegetables with a hint of flattery.

Wim had been loudly publicizing since last night that with Jiang Fei's help, they had wiped out the Paradise Gang.

It was said that all four hundred-plus members of the Paradise Gang had died, their bodies paving the road in the mountain gully.

Now, more than half of Mos City knew of Miss Jiang Fei's reputation.

Backed by the Axe Gang, and with her own strength, who wouldn't want to cling to such a powerful figure?

Even if they couldn't cling to her, they couldn't offend her.

Jiang Fei accepted the wild vegetables from the stall owners one by one and placed them in the back seat of her car.

Then, she opened the trunk, revealing it full of supplies.

“Each of you can pick one item. Consider it payment for the wild vegetables.”

These stall owners had never harbored ill will towards her.

Regardless of their intentions in giving her the wild vegetables, once the transaction was complete, they were even.

The stall owners were surprised that Jiang Fei would give them supplies.

Unsure if Jiang Fei was genuinely giving them supplies or just playing a trick, the stall owners hesitated, standing still.

Until someone stepped forward to pick out supplies.

Seeing that Jiang Fei did not stop him, the others then went to choose.

There was white wine, expired canned meat, dried noodles, compressed biscuits, bottled drinking water, and water purification tablets—all rare supplies in Mos City.

Each person chose one item and happily returned to their stalls.

Giving away the wild vegetables was not in vain!

Jiang Fei took a small stool from the car and had just sat down when two men, thin as beanpoles, walked over.

One had his eyes tightly shut, his face covered in bumps, making his original appearance unrecognizable.

The other had a messy, dirty afro and bright green eyeballs.

The afro-haired man spoke to Jiang Fei in English: “I found Jiang Zhengkang from the missing person’s notice.”

“His face was disfigured by a skin disease, his eyes went blind from UV radiation, and his vocal cords were damaged, making him mute. But his hearing is fine, and he can write.”

Fearing Jiang Fei wouldn't believe him, the afro-haired man pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket to show her.

On it were three crooked characters— “Jiang Zhengkang.”

“According to the reward written on the missing person’s notice, you should let me choose 5 kinds of supplies.”

Jiang Fei could tell at a glance that the bumpy-faced man in front of her was not Jiang Zhengkang.

Leaving aside the height mismatch, after living together for so many years, how could she not recognize her own uncle?

These two were clearly trying to scam her for supplies.

“Get out, don’t delay my business.”

“You're not keeping your word!” The afro-haired man retorted, lacking confidence:

“I clearly found the person, why won’t you give me supplies?”

“Aren’t you Huaxia people the most honest?”

Hearing this, Jiang Fei raised her machine gun.

“I forgot to tell you, the person on the missing person’s notice is my enemy.”

“Since you say he is Jiang Zhengkang, I will kill him now...”

Before she could finish, the bumpy-faced man turned and ran.

He easily avoided the pedestrians, not at all like a blind person.

Seeing that their deception was exposed, the afro-haired man also ran after the bumpy-faced man.

The stall owner next door reminded Jiang Fei: “Someone tried to impersonate him today, and there will be more in the future. Be careful not to be fooled; the people here are very bad.”

Jiang Fei nodded, put down her machine gun, and suddenly heard someone call her.

“Miss Jiang!”

Two people, one tall and one short, ran from a distance.

The tall man had dark skin, which made his teeth appear even whiter.

The shorter man was missing his right arm, but his face was beaming with a clean smile.

It was Wu Dayong and Wu Xiaowei, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Behind them were Mo Yanan, You Chengyu, and Han Yang.

Jiang Fei stood up abruptly, in disbelief.

“How are you all together?”

Mo Yanan slowly explained the reason.

After parting ways with Jiang Fei that day, he went to find a place to make a living.

He heard others say that the Black Night Gang took in Huaxia people, especially those from the capital, treating them exceptionally well, so he went there.

Not only was he given a job, food, and lodging, but he also met the Wu Brothers, Han Yang, and You Chengyu.

However, due to being busy, he hadn't had time to look for Jiang Fei.

Yesterday, the news of the Paradise Gang being wiped out caused a sensation, and everyone was discussing it. When he learned it was Jiang Fei who did it, Mo Yanan took advantage of his lunch break today to bring Wu Xiaowei and the others to see her.

As for Father Mo, he had found Mo Yanan a few days ago.

After seeing him once, he returned to guard the mine.

Wu Xiaowei was as enthusiastic as ever: “Miss Jiang, our dormitory is very big and has a fan. Tomorrow is a holiday, so come eat with us at noon. My brother and I will cook delicious food for you.”

Han Yang: “Boss, remember to call Brother Lu and the others too. We get supplies every week working for the Black Night Gang, and I've saved a lot of food for you all.”

Jiang Fei readily agreed and asked, “Have you seen Aunt Cao and the others?”

The initially excited Han Yang wilted like a frosted eggplant: “No, Aunt Cao and I were separated by the seawater when we were at the Ping An Small Mall.”

“During this time, we’ve also been looking for familiar faces.”

“But there are too many people in the Black Night Gang, and their territory is huge. We can only search during our breaks, and so far, there’s been no good news.”

Wu Dayong comforted Jiang Fei: “Don’t worry, they’ll be fine. My dad will watch over them from heaven.”

Jiang Fei was stunned: “Old Mr. Wu...”

“He’s gone,” Wu Dayong forced a smile. “My dad’s health was already poor, and he couldn’t hold on when the extreme daylight first started.”

“His only regret was not seeing you one last time and treating you to a meal.”

“My dad always remembered you saving him at the Second Hospital.”

“But my brother and I can fulfill that wish for him.”

That's why Wu Xiaowei eagerly invited her to eat as soon as they met.

Jiang Fei fell silent.

Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the natural laws of life; no one can change them.

Old Mr. Wu was such a good person, what a pity.

She wondered if Grandma Xu was doing well... Just then, You Chengyu spoke up, asking Jiang Fei: “Have you seen my sister?”
