Chapter 23: The mall was hit by a car

Gu Mingyue drove her minivan to the mall.

People come and go, as numerous as a school of fish.

Everyone was frantically loading food onto the vehicle.

A pregnant woman took the food from her husband and put it in the trunk.

The man felt there weren't enough supplies, so he squeezed into the mall again.

No sooner had she left than a few blond-haired men blocked the pregnant woman's way. In the ensuing scuffle, they shoved her to the ground. Blood was flowing from between her legs, and the pregnant woman, with tears in her eyes, helplessly watched as all the supplies in the carriage were emptied.

Several kind-hearted people helped her make a phone call. After the man returned, he put the supplies in the car and quickly drove the pregnant woman to the hospital.

Gu Mingyue watched as the last glimmer of humanity faded away, and gently shook her head.

Then they quickly led Xinghe into the shopping frenzy.

Inside the shopping mall/supermarket.

Half of the items on the shelves are gone.

Gu Mingyue and her companion squeezed inside with a large cart.

Upon seeing a few scattered cans of meat, they quickly tossed them into the cart.

Those who are too slow won't get any.

The shelves for high-calorie foods like chocolate were already empty.

There were only a few packets of instant noodles left, the pickled cabbage flavor. Gu Mingyue didn't mind and threw them all into the cart.

There wasn't much fighting over the bowls, plates, and chopsticks, but the knives, forks, and scissors were all gone.

Seeing that there was still a can of fruit left on the shelf, Gu Mingyue quickly pushed the cart over.

As soon as I put it in the stroller, an elderly couple stopped me.

"Little girl, we saw this can of food first."

"Oh well, whoever's faster gets it now," Gu Mingyue said indifferently, pushing her cart toward the condiment area.

"You little girl, how can you not know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?"

"You should give us the canned food." The older woman took a quick step forward and stood in front of her.

The old man also came up behind her and squeezed her between two shelves, making it seem as if he wouldn't let her leave unless they were given to them.

"I'll only say this once: get out of my way, or you'll regret it." Gu Mingyue's tone grew increasingly cold.

She wasn't a truly wicked person.

As long as you don't provoke her, you'll be treated as a polite stranger. But if you do provoke her, she'll turn into a honey badger on the spot and won't let go until she's dead!

Clearly, the elderly couple didn't take her harsh words to heart.

Besides, they only stopped Gu Mingyue because they thought she was a young woman who was easy to bully. If it were a tall, strong man in front of them, they wouldn't dare to rob his supplies at this time, even if they had ten times the courage.

The older woman grabbed her shopping cart and shouted, "Help! There's a shameless thief stealing our things!"

The old man also lay down behind Gu Mingyue, looking like a professional con artist, clutching his waist and groaning in pain: "This person not only stole things, but also bumped into me."

Having stocked up on a few things, the uncles and aunties, who also loved to gossip, rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

"Hey little girl, even if the world is in chaos, you can't steal from an old person and push them over!"

"Apologize to him right now, or I'll call the police."

"Tsk tsk, she's a pretty young girl, why is she stealing from an old person? How shameless."

If it were a typical, shy young girl, being accused of being a thief and staged an accident, and then being condemned by passersby for no apparent reason, she might have given up with tears in her eyes.

Since the payment hasn't been settled yet, I'll just give it to them, even if it means swallowing my grievances.

Unfortunately, they encountered Gu Mingyue, who killed people like cutting vegetables.

Neither of them noticed that the young woman who had been calmly selecting items had suddenly changed her expression.

She raised her hands and pulled the older woman over. Her slender arms didn't show any muscles when they were hanging down, but when she gathered her strength and lifted the woman up, her perfectly sculpted muscles suddenly became apparent.

The middle-aged woman weighed 150 pounds, yet she was easily lifted up by the woman. Looking at the muscle lines on Gu Mingyue's arms, she felt a pang of regret and fear.

It's a pity it's too late.

Before she could even call for help, Gu Mingyue threw the person into the crowd that had previously stood on the moral high ground condemning her.

Those people were pushed to the ground by the momentum of the old lady throwing them.

The seasonings in the glass jar fell to the ground, spilling all over them. They were greasy, with a hint of soy sauce and barbecue seasoning, and could be grilled right off the grill.

Then Gu Mingyue pushed the shopping cart backwards, completely trapping the old man who was trying to stage an accident, and walked around twice, thus completing his scheme.

Immediately, the two of them let out a real cry of pain.

She then turned and left.

The pedestrians who were rushing to buy the goods glanced at it coldly a few times and ignored it.

However, after this incident, several people in the mall who wanted to steal her goods gave up their reckless idea.

After the two paid the bill, they went outside and saw the group of people who had bullied the pregnant woman earlier prying open Gu Mingyue's van with something.

During this period, they looted a lot of supplies belonging to vulnerable groups.

Why is the J hotline always busy at this time?

They saw this as a golden opportunity to get rich.

Goods were piled up like small mountains at their feet. When others saw the seven or eight strong young men with dyed yellow and purple hair, they didn't dare to confront them directly.

Seeing an unattended car with a large interior space, I immediately decided to put all these things in there so that when the owner came, I could grab the keys and leave.

Seeing this, Gu Mingyue's face turned green. She had specifically chosen the cheapest van to transport goods, yet she still managed to be targeted.

"Xinghe, go and loosen up their muscles." Gu Mingyue took the shopping cart from his hand and ordered coldly.

The strong young men are working hard to move the goods.
