The second floor was quiet, but the two of them were on edge.
Jiang Nian'an shone her flashlight around, then nudged Shen Nanxing with her elbow, "Brother Shen, over here."
She has already spotted a men's clothing store.
The two walked toward the men's clothing store.
As they reached the door, the two simultaneously held their knives horizontally in front of their chests and entered the shop side by side.
The shop was in a mess, with bloodstains everywhere.
Behind the cashier's counter lay a headless zombie, already dead, while in front of the cashier lay the bodies of two survivors whose throats had been slit with knives.
Shen Nanxing squatted down and rubbed some blood onto one of the corpses.
He gently rubbed his blood-stained fingertips against the corpse, then poked it a few times before standing up and saying to Jiang Nian'an, "He just died not long ago."
After saying that, he gave Jiang Nian'an a wink, indicating that the people who killed them were still in the shop.
Jiang Nian'an understood, stepped over the corpse and walked to the center of the shop, scanning the surroundings with her eyes.
Most of the clothes in the store had already been taken away, leaving only some clothes that were more or less stained with blood.
"Don't you dislike these?" Jiang Nian'an asked Shen Nanxing.
Although there were some bloodstains, they were dressed much better than Shen Nanxing and the others were now.
"I don't mind."
He is neither pretentious nor a germaphobe.
Besides, given the current situation, it's good enough if we can find clothes to wear.
“Okay,” Jiang Nian’an handed Shen Nanxing a sack, “then let’s pack it up.”
Shen Nanxing immediately swept all the clothes they could wear in the store into sacks.
Jiang Nian'an then pointed to the storage room at the back of the shop, "Brother Chen, let's go take a look inside."
Shen Nanxing nodded, took a quick step to stand in front of Jiang Nian'an, and approached the storage room.
Just as Shen Nanxing stepped into the storage room, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind Jiang Nian'an, stabbing her in the back with a dagger.
Jiang Nian'an reacted extremely quickly, using her backhand to block the dagger on her back. With a 'clang', the dagger was blocked by the dagger.
The next second, the person who attacked Jiang Nian'an was kicked away by Shen Nanxing.
"An'an, are you alright?" Shen Nanxing asked with a worried expression.
Jiang Nian'an shook her head. "It's okay, I'm on guard."
Having been betrayed by Shen Zhiyao, she would never give anyone the chance to do the same to her again.
The person who attacked Jiang Nian'an got up from the ground, neither running away nor dodging, but simply clapped his hands twice.
"What's he doing? Is he so impressed by my cool move of blocking the knife that he can't help but applaud me?"
Jiang Nian'an, with a large sword on his shoulder and his feet on a chair, gently stroked his chin, pondering.
The man who summoned his companions with a high-five: "..."
You're insane!
He even clapped for her; it's not like he didn't take his medicine!
Shen Nanxing put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly, "Um, An'an..."
Under Jiang Nian'an's questioning gaze, he said with difficulty, "He was actually calling for someone; that clapping was a signal."
Jiang Nian'an: "......"
I'm sorry, I was being superficial.
At that moment, two more men walked into the shop; they were robust and muscular.
Upon seeing the two men enter, the man opposite raised his dagger again. "Shen Nanxing, prepare to die!"
"An enemy?"
Jiang Nian'an moved the flashlight up and shone it on the faces of the three people opposite her. She turned to Shen Nanxing and asked, "Do you recognize them?"
"I don't know them, but they're probably small fry under my older brother."
Shen Nanxing imitated her, carrying a large sword on his shoulder, standing on a chair, rubbing his chin, and speculating.
"Huh? Your brother's men came to kill you?"
Jiang Nian'an's eyes widened in surprise, and she developed a double chin.
"Yes, his family has some assets, and he was afraid I would take them, so he sent someone to assassinate me."
This was something that always made him extremely angry, but now...
Shen Nanxing looked at Jiang Nian'an's startled double chin and couldn't help but laugh with his head down.
Jiang Nian'an looked at Shen Nanxing, who was chuckling to himself with his head down, and her lips twitched.
Are you so happy about being assassinated?
Jiang Nian'an didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from gossiping.
"Brother Chen, are you and your older brother blood brothers?"
A story of love, hate, and grudges within a wealthy family had already automatically played out in her mind.
Shen Nanxing nodded. "Yes, they are brothers."
"Same father, same mother?"
Jiang Nian'an asked again, her eyes blazing with gossip.
"Yes, we share the same father and mother."
Shen Nanxing smiled, satisfying her gossipy nature in one go.
"My parents loved each other and treated us equally. They taught us from a young age to love each other, be respectful to each other, eat from the same bowl, and be loyal to one another."
"Huh? Then why did your older brother send someone to assassinate you?"
Jiang Nian'an didn't understand at all.
The family atmosphere is good, and the parents' education of the two is also very effective.
Logically speaking, both of them should be like Shen Nanxing—good young people with impeccable backgrounds and positive values.
But Chen Nanxing, this elder brother, is exactly the opposite.
He's corrupt and wicked, ruthless, and all he thinks about is killing his younger brother.
Could it be a gene mutation?
Possessed by a ghost?
Did you take the wrong medicine?
Didn't you take your medicine?
Did you smoke?
"Because there can only be one heir in the family, my grandfather, who decided who would be the heir, favored me."
Shen Nanxing's eyes were half-closed, his gaze dark and deep.
He had absolutely no interest in the position of heir.
She also discussed it with her grandfather and agreed to withdraw from the succession dispute.
He expressed his thoughts to his "good" older brother more than once.
Can--
His older brother, who had protected him since childhood, insisted on his death before believing that he truly had no interest in that position.
