In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 189 Completely Cleared
After Jiang Zhan helped Hua Yue clear out the room, the three of them went downstairs again.
Huayue glanced around the living room and found that many of the things that were originally placed there had been put away by the two team members.
Hua Yue sneered, said nothing, and went straight to Gao Yang's room.
The crystal cores their team received for completing tasks were usually divided into two parts. One part was distributed to the team members themselves, while the other part was kept by Gao Yang for the team's collective expenses.
Since she has now withdrawn from the team, she must of course take back this part of the crystal core!
Gao Yang's room was locked. Thinking of Hua Yue's injuries, Qiao Yu stepped forward, ready to kick the door open. But before she could do anything, Hua Yue pulled a hairpin from her pocket, straightened it, and poked it into the keyhole twice, easily opening the door.
Hua Yue's expression was extremely calm, in stark contrast to Qiao Yu's stunned expression.
Seeing this, the two team members who followed them bravely stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Hua, Huayue, this is the captain's room. You can't... you can't barge in without permission!"
Hua Yue glanced at them coldly, "So you can hide my things without my permission, and I can't retaliate in kind?"
The two team members choked and stammered, unable to speak. They could only watch Hua Yue and the other two enter the house.
There was a small steel box in Gao Yang's room, placed under the desk, and it was also locked.
Huayue dragged the box out, inserted the hairpin into it and poked it a few times. With a "click", the lock opened again.
The corners of Qiao Yu's mouth twitched.
Looking at Huayue's skillful movements and calm expression...
A habitual criminal! Absolutely a habitual criminal!
When the box was opened, there were nine thick and long cylindrical translucent storage jars inside.
The jars were all the same size, stacked upside down, and each one had a team member's name on the lid. Inside were all crystal cores.
Hua Yue pulled out the jar with her name on it. Qiao Yu took a quick glance and found that the jar was already two-thirds full. Of all the jars, hers was the only one with the most crystal cores.
But this child is really honest. She showed her family background in front of her and Jiang Zhan. Isn't she afraid that they are bad people?
While Qiao Yu was thinking, Hua Yue had already locked the box again and put it back in its original place.
She only took her own jar and didn't touch the others.
The two members of Shengshi Dynasty originally wanted to stop them again, but when they saw that Huayue was only holding a jar in her hand and did not touch other things in the room, they silently shut up.
Hua Yue has always had a bad reputation in their team. She is very strong and has a bad temper. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they really don't want to conflict with Hua Yue.
Hua Yue ignored the two "former teammates" and took Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan to the kitchen again.
The kitchen countertop was clean and empty, but the cabinet contained several bags of grain, five or six boxes of instant noodles, and a case of twelve bottles of mineral water.
Hua Yue slowly squatted down and dragged out a bag of rice, a bag of wheat, three boxes of instant noodles and six bottles of mineral water from the cabinet. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard Gao Yang's voice suddenly coming from outside.
The two team members who had been following Huayue and the others heard the sound and ran out quickly.
They couldn't stop Hua Yue, so they could only pin their hopes on the captain.
Hua Yue stood up, holding onto the table. "Captain Qiao, could you both help me move these things out?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhan walked forward and picked up the two bags of food with one hand, then lifted up the three boxes of instant noodles with the other hand and walked out without saying a word.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu and Hua Yue each took three bottles of mineral water and followed Jiang Zhan out.
"Hua Yue!" The team member who came back with Gao Yang and Tang Ran saw Hua Yue really bringing Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan back to move the things. His face instantly darkened. "This is what we all saved together! What gives you the right to take it away just like that?"
"Why?" Hua Yue paused, turned around, and stared at him coldly, "The fact that you were able to climb this far is entirely due to my support!"
"We all saved this together? Ha, you're not qualified to say that?"
Hua Yue looked at the people with different expressions and felt annoyed. She turned around and walked slowly out while continuing in a cold voice: "Since we all worked together, I don't want the remaining things. Remember, from now on, everyone goes their own way. Even if we meet on the road, there is no need to say hello."
"We're even now."
After Hua Yue finished speaking, she followed Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan out of the villa gate without even looking back.
The roof of the RV was already filled with Huayue's belongings. Wang Zha lay beside the RV, swishing his tail intermittently, looking at Huayue with a rather resentful look, as if complaining that Huayue had taken over his nest.
Huayue smiled at it apologetically and made a hissing sound from her mouth.
Qiao Yu guessed that she might be explaining and apologizing to Wang Zha.
Sure enough, after Wang Zha heard this, his facial expression returned to normal. He even stood up and shook his fur, looking like he was ready to go at any time.
Qiao Yu took a look at the roof of the car that was piled high with furniture and sundries, touched his nose, and again invited Hua Yue to get in the car, but Hua Yue still refused.
Seeing that she was really insistent, Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Then let Wang Zha take you."
Huayue subconsciously wanted to refuse again, but after a pause, she agreed.
Gao Yang and the others who had chased out stood at the door. Except for Gao Yang, they all had anxious expressions on their faces.
"Captain, say something!"
"Yeah, if you don't speak up, they're really going to leave!"
“…”
But no matter how the team members urged him, Gao Yang remained silent.
Only after the three men and the wolf had left did Gao Yang stare gravely in the direction they had gone, muttering softly, "What's there to say... That was what Hua Yue deserved."
The noisy people quieted down instantly after hearing this.
Actually, they understand this principle. It's just...
"Captain, what should we do next?"
Gao Yang raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief towards the sky. "What can we do? We have to go on with our lives. Even without Huayue, we can still take on missions."
Gao Yang patted the team member's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. Go back and heal your injuries first!"
Several team members nodded silently after hearing this.
Tang Ran looked at them walking back dejectedly and pursed his lips slightly.
Although Gao Yang said it lightly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had lost two members this time, with two more still in a coma. And now without Hua Yue... the days ahead would be like treading on thin ice.
Tang Ran unconsciously clenched his fists.
It seems that she has to find a way to escape...
