Power off?!

how so?!

Qiao Yuan was completely devastated. She paused for a moment, then continued to call Qiao He.

No matter how many times Qiao Yuan called, the phone was always switched off!

Then Qiao Yuan finally realized what was happening.

It's not that Qiao He's phone is really off, but that bitch Qiao He blocked her number!

Upon realizing this, Qiao Yuan was so angry she almost vomited blood.

It's not for any other reason than the condition of the Blood Jade. Before Qiao He took it away, the Blood Jade was clearly usable.

But how did it turn out like this?!

What exactly did Qiao He do to the Blood Jade?

Qiao Yuan couldn't understand it at all. This shouldn't be the case, since Qiao He definitely didn't know that the ultimate use of the Blood Jade was a space that could store a large amount of resources.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Qiao He already knows that the Blood Jade is a spatial artifact.

But the Blood Jade has already recognized her as its master!

No matter how capable Qiao He is, it's impossible for her to enter the Blood Jade Space.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Yuan still couldn't figure out what had happened.

Her only worry right now is her 300,000 worth of supplies!

It's so heartbreaking! It's clearly inside the blood jade, but you can only look at it and not eat it!

What kind of human suffering is this?!

Could it be that the Blood Jade devoured her supplies?!

A thought suddenly popped into Qiao Yuan's mind, but she quickly shook her head.

If they wanted to seize the supplies, they should have done so long ago; things shouldn't be like this now...

Qiao Yuan was extremely worried, her heart rate soared with anger, and she found it difficult to breathe.

She patted her chest; her intuition told her that Qiao He had definitely tampered with the blood jade!

Otherwise, why would this space become completely unusable the moment Qiao He came into contact with the Blood Jade?!

After much deliberation, Qiao Yuan decided to wait until dark and then take three capable assistants from the Qiao family to find Qiao He.

We must get to the bottom of this!

Unfortunately, at this point, Qiao Yuan had no idea that Qiao He was no longer in the villa.

They took the kitten and Bo Shiwu to City A to search for the missing Qiao Bu and Qiao Hua.

After Qiao He untied the ropes binding Qiao Ju, the two of them snuggled together tightly.

Qiao Ju let out a sweet meow and made pitiful whimpering sounds.

Qiao He said gently, "It's okay, my darling daughter, Mommy will protect you."

Qiao Ju lowered her cute little head. She really wanted to tell Qiao He that she also wanted to protect her mom, but this was all unfamiliar surroundings, and it was so scary...

Qiao Ju took a light sniff of the air, as if some familiar scent was approaching!

Just then, Qiao Ju suddenly jumped off Qiao He.

"Meow! Meow—" Qiao Ju's voice was very impatient.

Qiao He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, my darling daughter?!"

Qiao Ju paced back and forth anxiously, staring at the dark door, making gurgling sounds in her throat as if threatening what was outside.

Qiao He understood in an instant; it seemed someone outside wanted to come in.

Qiao He narrowed her dark eyes slightly, then picked up Xiao Qiao Ju and whispered, "Shh...daughter, don't make a sound, let's hide."

Qiao Ju tilted her fluffy head slightly, "Meow?"

Qiao He smiled faintly: "Attack them!"

"Let's hide first, then launch a sneak attack." Qiao He smiled mischievously.

Qiao Ju blinked her dark brown cat eyes, indicating that she would be very obedient!

So, Qiao Ju followed behind Qiao He without saying a word.

Cat Claw was already silent when it walked, and now the small dark room was even quieter; you could not even hear Qiao He's breathing.

Sure enough, a series of heavy footsteps came from outside the door shortly after.

There sounded like there were three or four people, but I didn't know if they were men or women.

In short, there are quite a few people.

Qiao He's face darkened, and she took out a stun gun from her blood jade space.

This thing is incredibly powerful; if it hits someone, it can instantly take down a strong adult!

Qiao He was quite confident in his agility, as long as the other party wasn't some super-skilled policeman or mercenary.

Then there's nothing to be afraid of.

Even if there are many of them, Qiao He can take down all five of them in one go!

The footsteps grew closer, and Qiao He's eyes turned unusually cold.

She gripped the stun gun tightly, crouched low by the door, and began to wait in a position where she wouldn't be easily spotted.

A few seconds later, the footsteps finally stopped in front of the door.

The next moment, a click—

The rusty-looking iron gate creaked open.

As light fell on the ground, Qiao He, hiding in the shadows, saw a dark, shadowy figure.

As they were about to enter, one of the men, with an extremely gruff voice, said coldly, "Where is that pretty little girl? I can't see anything."

A woman let out a brothel-like laugh and said in a coquettish voice, "Oh dear~ don't be in such a hurry, Brother Tiger~~~"

"Everyone says she's incredibly beautiful and looks like a virgin! Just what you're looking for!"

"Besides, wouldn't it be better to check out the goods now and bring the person home later?"

"Don't rush, don't rush... I'll go turn on the light~~~"

A woman resembling a madam walked in, her high heels clicking as she approached, and then she stood right in front of Qiao He.

At first, the madam didn't notice Qiao He's presence; she was just about to turn on the light.
