40: Where is my fiancée?

Crippled Wang pondered Jiang Fei's words, and after a moment, he suddenly understood.

It's for warmth!

It's great to be with a big shot! You'll be the first to know about any danger!

Crippled Wang gratefully poured Jiang Fei a cup of tea: "Big shot, don't worry, my brothers and I are very tight-lipped. We guarantee we won't tell anyone that you know Captain Xu."

Captain Xu's identity is sensitive, and he is most averse to rumors.

He understood everything!

Jiang Fei belatedly realized.

Crippled Wang had misunderstood her relationship with Xu Qianyao, which was why he asked what to prepare.

After all, Xu Qianyao was the Captain of the Rescue Team and a favorite of Director Ning, so he naturally knew some internal information.

Jiang Fei did not explain, saving herself from having to beat around the bush when reminding Crippled Wang in the future.

She subtly gave Crippled Wang a look: "It's good that you understand."

"I'll see the big shot out." Crippled Wang eagerly opened the door, telling his subordinates to come and move the gold, as well as the supplies he was giving Jiang Fei, as a thank you for telling him the news.

Wu Dayong and Wu Xiaowei, learning that Jiang Fei was leaving, both took out their share of supplies to give her.

Jiang Fei subtly refused them both with the excuse of "I'll come get them next time."

Most of Crippled Wang's supplies were ill-gotten and he wasn't short on food, so she could accept them.

The Wu Brothers were different; their supplies were earned with their lives, and they had a father to care for, so she couldn't take them.

If she just fleeced Crippled Wang a bit more, she would have everything.

Jiang Fei thought, and unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

Dao Ba sat on a chair in the corridor, smoking, looking enviously at the Wu Brothers, who were chatting and laughing in the distance, tears glistening in his eyes.

Just then, Crippled Wang, who had finished his work, returned.

"Big shot, your rubber boat can't fit all the gold and supplies, so I've prepared an extra rubber boat for you. You can take it back, or I can have my subordinate escort you."

Noticing Jiang Fei's gaze, Crippled Wang sighed: "Dao Ba is thinking about his sister again."

"Actually, Dao Ba is quite pitiful. His parents died early, and he raised his sister all by himself."

"On the day of the typhoon, Dao Ba's sister went missing, and we still haven't found her..."

"Why are you telling her all this!" Dao Ba heard the sound and walked over, stopping Crippled Wang from continuing, and wiped his eyes:

"What kind of rotten smoke is this? It's making my eyes water!"

Seeing Jiang Fei looking at him, Dao Ba said fiercely: "What are you looking at? Do you want to fight?!"

Jiang Fei, who always hit where it hurt: "A defeated opponent has no right to fight me."

Dao Ba: "..."

This woman really knew how to annoy people.

Worried that Dao Ba would get beaten again, Crippled Wang quickly sent him away.

And Jiang Fei didn't let Crippled Wang escort her; she left by herself.

A thick hemp rope was tied to the stern of the rubber boat, pulling the other rubber boat laden with supplies and gold. It moved slowly on the water, attracting the attention of survivors in the restaurants on both sides, but no one dared to rob it.

Everyone on Fenglin Road knew Crippled Wang's background, so they wouldn't go looking for trouble.

Jiang Fei left smoothly, found a secluded spot, and first put the gold into the Supermarket.

System: [Ding—Gold detected: 18324 grams.]

[Current unlock progress: 80%]

She had to go to the commercial street tonight.

Without a professional diving suit and a metal detector, she would spend too much time underwater and easily get bitten by insects and snakes.

Jiang Fei put the supplies and the rubber boat into the Supermarket warehouse together, checking them with her mind.

In total, 1 box of mineral water, 1 box of insect repellent, 1 box of disinfectant, 1 box of protective suits, 1 box of pre-made meals, and 1 box of warm patches.

The pre-made meals Crippled Wang gave her were all ready to eat after heating in boiling water.

There were curry beef, black pepper beef tenderloin, and Coke chicken, 10 bags of each.

Jiang Fei took out an empty box, filled it with several kinds of supplies, and then returned to Yulan Garden.

As soon as she reached the 22nd floor, Jiang Fei saw Xiao Chuxia sitting on the steps: "Why are you sitting outside?"

"Feng Chenlu from the community told me you went out. I was afraid I'd Miss you when you came back, so I waited for you here."

Xiao Chuxia was unusually serious: "Miss, when I went downstairs to catch snakes today, I saw Li Yanping's family being picked up by an old man."

"That old man had a mouth full of gold teeth, a receding hairline, a bulbous nose, triangular eyes, and was old and ugly."

"He seemed very powerful. Before Li Yanping left, she even told me triumphantly that I was doomed."

As soon as she heard Xiao Chuxia's description, a face appeared in Jiang Fei's mind.

Sun Deqiang, also known as Boss Sun in Li Yanping's words.

He used to be from the same village as Li Yanping and made his fortune from coal mines.

What he did later, she didn't know.

Li Yanping contacting Sun Deqiang either meant she wanted to force her into marriage or she wanted him to teach her a lesson.

Jiang Fei wasn't worried.

She had a gun and a Supermarket. Whatever the possibility, she could handle it.

At worst, one slice each.

"Don't worry about this." Jiang Fei took out some of the supplies from the box and gave them to Xiao Chuxia:

"Keep these; I have enough supplies at home."

"Help me call Ling Zhaorui and Lu Yu to 2202. I have something to tell you all."

Xiao Chuxia nodded in agreement, and the worry in her heart eased.

If the Miss said not to worry, it meant she had a way to deal with it.

Jiang Fei returned to her room and changed out of the disinfected protective suit.

Soon after, Lu Yu and the others arrived.

After giving the divided food to Lu Yu and Ling Zhaorui, Jiang Fei truthfully told them about going to Beishan Farm.

"The Tiger Suppression Gang has guns, and their current numbers are unknown. There will definitely be danger this time, but the reward is a maximum of three boxes of supplies per person. Consider whether you want to go."

Lu Yu was the first to speak: "I'll go."

Xiao Chuxia immediately followed Lu Yu's answer: "I'll go too! I'm much more skilled with the knife than before; I won't hold the Miss back."

"Count me in!"

Ling Zhaorui said hastily, afraid Jiang Fei wouldn't take him: "My injury is healed, and I can run and jump without problems. Brother Lu has also been training me, so I definitely won't cause any trouble for everyone."

"Then at 10 AM on Saturday, we'll depart for Manxing Grand Restaurant on time."

After speaking, Jiang Fei saw the three off and returned to her bedroom to catch up on sleep, preparing for the night's operation.

Meanwhile, in a certain residential building.

Li Yanping frantically stuffed hot food into her mouth, clutching two greasy chicken legs, her eyes still fixed on the dishes on the plate.

Jiang Zhengkang and Jiang Zixuan sat on either side of her.

Compared to the ravenous Li Yanping and Jiang Zhengkang, Jiang Zixuan ate distractedly, lost in thought.

It wasn't until Li Yanping was almost full to the point of throwing up that she reluctantly stopped, smiling broadly at Sun Deqiang at the head of the table, flattering him:

"Boss Sun is truly a big boss of Lincheng. With resources so scarce now, you can still get a table of hot food. It shows your remarkable ability. Don't laugh at me, but I haven't eaten like this in a long time. Today, I'm truly blessed by your good fortune."

Sun Deqiang took a puff from his cigar, faintly revealing his gold teeth: "I'm not a big boss; I just do a small business."

"Yanping, we've known each other for years, so I won't beat around the bush. Where is my fiancée, Jiang Fei?"
