57: The boss jumped off the building!
The residential buildings in Yongtai Community were 10 stories high, with two households per floor.
Jiang Fei hid outside Building 2, observing the situation.
There were no Tiger Suppression Gang members at the unit entrance, but through the stairwell window, she could see people moving back and forth inside.
One person patrolled every two floors, a total of four people.
The 9th floor was empty, likely to avoid disturbing Sun Deqiang's rest on the 10th floor.
Before coming, she had already confirmed that only Sun Deqiang and the patrolling personnel lived in Building 2.
Jiang Fei quietly circled to the side of the building, took off her white robe, changed back into her own shoes, and pulled out a climbing grapple from the Supermarket warehouse, accurately throwing it onto a disused outdoor air conditioner unit on the 4th floor.
To prevent the outdoor air conditioner units from falling and injuring people, installers had used iron bars to secure them.
Once she confirmed the grapple was firmly hooked, Jiang Fei quickly put on her non-slip gloves and began to climb the rope.
Just as she was about to reach the 4th floor, Jiang Fei took out another grapple and secured it to an outdoor air conditioner unit outside the 9th floor.
No one noticed that someone was climbing the wall in the deep darkness of the night.
Upon reaching the 9th floor, Jiang Fei gripped her silenced pistol, quickly slid open the old-fashioned track-and-slide window, and flipped into the room, which was empty.
The side she was on was the bedroom of the residence.
Since there were no lights, the room was dark, and the temperature was similar to outside, not looking like it was inhabited.
Jiang Fei remained vigilant, cautiously opening the door and stepping out.
Suddenly, something stirred on the living room sofa.
"Who?!"
Jiang Fei barely stopped her finger from pulling the trigger, taking out her flashlight to illuminate the area.
Her already "bloody" face looked even more terrifying in the light.
Especially when Jiang Fei whispered, "Uncle, it's me."
Jiang Zhengkang was so startled his heart almost stopped; he weakly said, "Turn off the light first..."
Remembering that her makeup hadn't been washed off, Jiang Fei felt a rare pang of guilt and turned off the flashlight.
She had forgotten that her current skin was that of a "female ghost."
Not seeing Li Yanping or Jiang Zixuan, Jiang Fei assumed Jiang Zhengkang was living there alone and lowered her gun: "Which unit on the top floor does Sun Deqiang live in? How many people are upstairs?"
"Sun Deqiang lives alone in 1019. The unit above me, 1020, is unoccupied."
Jiang Zhengkang hesitated before speaking: "You can't get out."
"They locked the door from the outside, and we can't open it."
"That day, when Zixuan was sent back, Boss Sun was angry about it and wanted to send people to kill you and steal your supplies. I tried to warn you but was caught by his men and locked up."
"Boss Sun also kicked Li Yanping and Zixuan out of Building 2, making them live in Building 3, the collective dormitory..."
Jiang Zhengkang's lips trembled; he wanted to ask if Jiang Fei was there to rescue him but swallowed the words back.
There was no need to ask such an unrealistic question.
Jiang Fei hadn't expected the truth to be like this. Looking at Jiang Zhengkang, who was wrapped in a tattered quilt for warmth, she gave him the gun and explained how to use it.
"I'll come back and break open the door later. You wait until it's safe outside before running out and finding official personnel to house you."
In her previous life, Jiang Zhengkang had let her go once; in this life, her helping him escape would be considered repaying the debt.
After speaking, Jiang Fei returned to the bedroom, took out the grapple, and used the same method to climb to 1020.
As Jiang Zhengkang said, 1020 was empty, only storing Sun Deqiang's supplies.
There were twenty to thirty boxes of various sizes.
Jiang Fei directly put them into the Supermarket warehouse?
System: [Ding-- Gold detected: 70,000 grams]
[Ding-- Congratulations to the Host for successfully unlocking the third area of the Supermarket's second floor [Fresh Produce -- Frozen Seafood Area]. The gold required to unlock the fourth area is 128,000 grams]
[Bonus reward: One Lucky Spin. Does the Host wish to use it?]
What an unexpected surprise!
Jiang Fei didn't rush to check or use it, instead pressing against the door of 1020, listening for movement.
There were no footsteps. Jiang Fei opened the door and went out, only to discover a heavy iron door installed at the stairwell on the 10th floor.
No wonder Sun Deqiang hadn't sent anyone to patrol the 9th floor; he had another plan.
Perfect, it would help her block the people downstairs.
Both 1020 and 1019 had wooden doors.
After checking that the iron door was locked, Jiang Fei took out an axe, loudly smashing the lock of 1020, and then kicked the door open.
Sun Deqiang heard the commotion inside, immediately grabbed his gun, and got up, but he wasn't as fast as Jiang Fei.
Bang bang--!
Jiang Fei shot Sun Deqiang in the wrist with one bullet and in the knee with another.
Then she pressed him down and unleashed a barrage of attacks.
Robbing me, huh!
Sending people to kill me, huh!
Acting arrogant and making threats, huh!
I'll beat you to death, you bastard!
Jiang Fei vented her fury to her heart's content, literally beating Sun Deqiang to death.
Rubbing her sore wrist, Jiang Fei picked up the stainless steel ashtray by the bed and smashed Sun Deqiang's gold teeth.
Even a fly's leg is meat!
[Ding-- Gold detected: 25 grams]
With the iron door blocking the Tiger Suppression Gang members, Jiang Fei leisurely strolled around the room, collecting everything she saw.
Noticing a small door in the living room, Jiang Fei opened it with her gun.
It was a small staircase leading to the rooftop terrace.
Jiang Fei walked up.
Sun Deqiang had not only expanded 1020, incorporating the small staircase into the living room, but he had also built a warehouse on the rooftop.
The outside of the warehouse was painted white, the same color as the residential building.
Jiang Fei curiously opened the door, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
A small helicopter was parked inside, secured to the ground with steel cables.
Inside the helicopter were parachutes and two large backpacks of emergency supplies, clearly Sun Deqiang's escape route.
How extravagant!
Jiang Fei unceremoniously put them into the Supermarket warehouse. Finding nothing else useful, she went downstairs and took out a machine gun.
Chaotic noises came from outside the iron door at the stairwell.
"It's been almost ten minutes since the gunshots. Boss must be in danger. You guys go get the electric saw, and we'll cut open the door..."
"This is bad! The outside is full of official personnel! What should we do now!"
"Don't panic! Let's find Boss first!"
Click-- The iron door suddenly opened.
Da da da!
Jiang Fei brutally sprayed bullets with the machine gun.
The unprepared individuals, without even time to react, were shot dead on the steps.
Casually taking the weapons from the corpses, Jiang Fei went to the 9th floor, smashed open Jiang Zhengkang's locked door, and then ran downstairs.
Outside, chaos had already erupted, with police sirens mixing with gunshots.
Official personnel and Tiger Suppression Gang members were engaged in a firefight, and tragically deceased bodies were visible everywhere.
Jiang Fei covertly scavenged, collecting weapons while throwing out the bodies piled up in the Supermarket.
At the bottom of Building 5, she found Crippled Wang and others.
"Boss, we've moved most of the supplies, and we even found a box of gold bars for you. Unfortunately, those gold-plated Harley motorcycles were too heavy, and we didn't have time to move them downstairs."
Jiang Fei paused: "You guys get in the car first. I still have something to take care of. I'll meet up with you in 10 minutes."
She couldn't just leave the gold-plated items!
After Crippled Wang and his men left, Jiang Fei quickly ran upstairs and saw three Harleys parked in the corner, their exteriors gleaming gold.
Jiang Fei put the motorcycles into the Supermarket.
System: [Ding-- Gold detected: 100 grams]
That's it?
Was the "gold-plated" claim too exaggerated?!
Jiang Fei felt frustrated. Just as she was about to go down, she suddenly saw the police cars parked outside through the stairwell window.
A voice shouting echoed from afar.
"There's a bomb here! Everyone, do not open fire! First, transfer the dangerous goods!"
Was the Tiger Suppression Gang that weak?!
They couldn't even hold out for 5 minutes!
It would be hard to explain to the officials why she was at the Tiger Suppression Gang's location, so Jiang Fei immediately checked the parachute packs in the Supermarket warehouse.
Finding no issues, she turned around and ran to the rooftop terrace.
Jiang Fei stepped back a few paces, then suddenly charged forward.
Outside the perimeter wall.
Crippled Wang, waiting in the car, widened his eyes: "Holy crap! Boss jumped off the building!"
Lu Yu, in the passenger seat, immediately looked out the window.
A gray parachute was slowly drifting into the distance.
Lu Yu quickly reclined the seat, pulled Crippled Wang into the back seat, got into the driver's seat, and started the pickup truck.
Crippled Wang groggily got up, and before he could sit steadily, Lu Yu sharply turned the steering wheel and pressed hard on the accelerator.
Bang--
Crippled Wang slammed heavily against the car door.
So painful.
It was as if he saw his great-grandmother smiling at him again.
Lu Yu accelerated to the location where Jiang Fei would land.
The moment he stopped the car, a muffled thud came from the rear cargo bed.
Jiang Fei, who had landed on a supply box, tidied her parachute, grabbed onto the cargo bed to steady herself: "Go!"
Lu Yu stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
Poor Crippled Wang in the back seat was so shaken his eyes were unfocused.
Is great-grandmother taking me away now...?
