Chapter 112 "No emotional entanglement?"
The alien creature died, leaving behind a mess around it. Not only was a large section of the high wall destroyed, but the nearby buildings also suffered varying degrees of damage.
Fortunately, there were no people living near the outer high walls, otherwise we would not know how many casualties there would be. Fortunately, Jiang Jie was there this time, so only buildings were lost and no one died. Otherwise, we would have been seriously injured.
There was another roar of a beast in the distance, accompanied by the sound of footsteps on the ground. All the psychics present noticed it and turned to look over.
"Another alien creature is approaching." Liang Nan's expression darkened. After careful identification, it didn't sound like it was coming from the same direction. It must have been attracted by the movement just now.
They didn't appear at first, perhaps because of the deterrence of the A-level mutant. Now that the energy it left behind has dissipated, these things are starting to approach.
"Brother Jiang, we can handle this level. You should go and have a rest first." Liang Nan turned around and gestured to the people, then waved his hand and led them out first.
Jiang Jie had no intention of interfering, so he took Lin Mian directly to the back seat of the car.
Liang Qun thought for a moment, then got into the driver's seat and asked, "Will that kind of A-level mutant appear again?"
The relaxed mood he felt after the other party's death did not last long. As the deputy district chief, he had to feel worried about this.
If monsters of this level appear as frequently as the others, they will probably find it difficult to withstand them.
The maintenance of the safe zone may become more and more difficult, and perhaps in the end, they will still have to seek refuge in the official safe zone.
Jiang Jie raised his eyes when he heard his worried question and said, "Not in the short term."
A-level mutants are not cabbages. They have territorial awareness, just like the two he encountered before, they all exist within a certain range.
This is the leader in this area. There will not be a second one nearby. After it dies, it will take a long time for a new leader to evolve, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
Liang Qun heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and did not ask how the other party knew it. His main concern now was how to let Liang Nan lead the psychics in the district to enhance their strength, or recruit more psychics, so that it would be safer.
If such a situation occurs again next time, at least they can minimize casualties and losses.
He looked up at the rearview mirror. Jiang Jie would not stay with them for long. He knew very well that the other party was not the kind of person who could be restrained.
So they cannot rely too much on each other and cannot place their hopes on each other.
What's more, the man is staying here now, probably because of Cheng Yuefeng and the others. He doesn't know what kind of hatred there is between them, but since they can make people say the words "fight to the death", the reason must be complicated.
He only hoped that Jiang Jie would not be implicated in the entire safe zone, and he did not dare to hope for anything else.
The psychics who rushed out of the area have already started fighting with the mutant creatures, and the sounds of psychic collisions can be heard continuously.
Liang Qun watched for a moment and then retracted his gaze. He raised his eyes and said, "I'll take you two back first. There shouldn't be any problems here."
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes and fiddled with the crystal in Lin Mian's palm from time to time. He nodded when he heard it. He knew that the other party could see it in the rearview mirror.
Liang Qun quickly started the car and drove away from the mess around him.
They didn't say much on the way back to the apartment, and when the car stopped downstairs, he didn't seem to want to go up.
He glanced at the time on the vehicle display screen and felt that Liang Nan and his team should have almost finished dealing with the problem. They still needed to discuss the subsequent external repair issues as soon as possible.
Jiang Jie didn't care about the internal affairs of their safe zone. After getting out of the car, he went upstairs with Lin Mian.
In the quiet elevator, he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, glancing sideways at the person who seemed to be lost in thought, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Hmm?" Lin Mian raised his eyes in confusion, met his gaze, and realized what he was asking him, but he didn't say anything for a while.
Jiang Jie didn't rush to ask, but just reached out and pinched the back of his neck, rubbing it gently with a soothing look.
When the elevator door opened at the floor, he carried the man out, entered the house, and closed the door. He then pinched the man's waist and put him on the shoe cabinet, put his hands on both sides of his body, looked up at him, and said, "Can you tell me now?"
This posture puts Lin Mian in a superior position, without such a strong sense of oppression. He is not interrogating, which makes him more relaxed psychologically. He pursed his lips and said, "Is there really only a simple grudge between you and Cheng Yuefeng?"
Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"That's it..." Lin Mian hesitated, not knowing how to ask. He reached out and touched the man's ear, pinching his soft earlobe. He lowered his eyes to look at his eyes that had been staring at him. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "No emotional entanglement?"
"What?" Jiang Yan suddenly laughed. He even suspected that he had heard it wrongly. "Does it look like he and I have a romantic relationship?"
The man naturally didn't like Cheng Yuefeng, but Cheng Yuefeng... Lin Mian was a little unsure, because since the first time they met, he could feel the unfriendly look from the other party from time to time.
Although he was very secretive every time, his keen perception would never be wrong.
This is very strange. If Cheng Yuefeng simply dislikes Jiang Jie because he is her boyfriend, then this feeling of rejection should not be directed only at him.
What's more, he always felt that the other party's attitude towards men did not seem to be based on any deep hatred.
He was still thinking when his chin was suddenly pinched, and his scattered thoughts were focused again in an instant.
He didn't say anything for a long time, and Jiang Jie couldn't help but wonder if he was imagining some weird things. He pinched his chin and shook it gently, "Lin Xiaotu, I like beautiful things."
As for Cheng Yuefeng, his face could only be described as handsome. Compared to ordinary people, he might be considered a handsome guy, but he was far from being pleasing to Jiang Jie's eyes.
He sneered, "Even if you want to invent an ex for me, you have to use a pretty face."
"No, what I mean is..." Lin Mian pushed his hand away and continued, "Does he have any other thoughts about you?"
"I don't know," Jiang Yan took his hand and played with his slender white fingers, "and I don't care."
He just felt that if Cheng Yuefeng really had any special feelings for him, that would be really ridiculous. How could this explain the betrayal in the previous life?
Hate because of love? Destroy because you can't get it? That can only say that he is even more disgusting. His betrayal was calculated and stuck at the most appropriate point in time. It was not a momentary impulse, but a long-term plan.
He really wished Jiang Jie would die. Jiang Jie would never forget the other party's hideous face and the jealousy that distorted his features. It was so ugly that it made him nauseous.
Even if he really had some vague thoughts about himself when he was a student, they should have been wiped out by jealousy of him, leaving only a hatred that wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Jiang Jie gently lifted Lin Mian's chin with his fingertips and looked into his clean and clear eyes. He could see his own figure in them. Cheng Yuefeng's little and dirty love was worthless compared to his little rabbit.
"Little rabbit, you just need to remember," he said, his fingertips rubbing against her smooth skin as he leaned closer, their breaths blending together, "that he will die in my hands, that's all."
As the words fell, the two lips that were so close to each other pressed together.
Lin Mian felt the man's breath filling his nostrils, felt the plunder in his mouth, his eyelashes slowly drooped, and finally he was trapped in a warm feeling.
Jiang Jie wrapped his strong arms around his waist, lifted him up and put his legs on his hips, then carried him back to the bedroom.

Because of the sudden attack of the A-level mutant, large-scale damage was caused, causing everyone in the safe zone to focus their energy on repairs.
Therefore, the matter of Liu Yang and others being attacked was temporarily put on hold. Even when Qi Shang woke up in the middle of the incident, Liang Qun only took a quick look at him.
However, he still couldn't get any useful information from him. Liang Qun, who knew the truth, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, the matter seemed to be temporarily forgotten. Until a new "victim" appeared, it was no longer the focus of most people in the district.
I don’t know if Cheng Yuefeng thought he was unlucky or what, but he didn’t investigate the matter any further and just tried to calm Liu Yang and Qi Shang.
Compared with his previous resentment that wanted to drag the person out and grind his bones to ashes, this behavior was really abnormal.
Liang Qun felt strange that he had prepared soothing words but did not receive any follow-up questions from the other party, so he went to find Jiang Jie.
"After seeing me take action before, he probably has already determined that it was me who did it." Jiang Yan leaned on the sofa, his hands supporting his temples, and chuckled.
"Then what should we do next?" Liang Qun couldn't help but frown.
"No need to deal with it." Jiang Yan didn't really care. "Just like you know you can't interfere with my work, he also knows now that he has no ability to hold me accountable. So, for now, he can only swallow his anger and accept it."
Liang Qun had no way to refute this. All the people in their safe zone combined were probably no match for him, so there was really no way to pursue the matter.
He looked at the other person's completely indifferent attitude, and his frown relaxed. Something flashed through his mind, and he suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, when you took action against that mutant, did you know that he would later associate it with you?"
Being able to beat up a psychic silently and unnoticed in a safe zone, leaving him with no power to fight back, only the other party has this ability, and the exposed psychic ability can also be matched.
Liang Qun had another flash of inspiration, "Did you also deliberately let Liu Yang and the others notice your supernatural powers?"
Judging from how he dealt with the A-level mutant before, he should have the ability to make the other party unaware of anything and cause them to lose consciousness or even die in an instant, but he didn't.
Jiang Jie did not deny this, he just smiled.
What's the point of killing him directly? The point is to make him know who did it but be powerless to do anything. Not only can he not be held accountable, but he also has to pretend nothing happened and still greet him with a smile.
Cheng Yuefeng must be puzzled now, wondering where he had offended himself.
Liang Qun looked at him and had a guess that he didn't say out loud. It might be intentional that he asked her to cover for him in the hospital.
He just wanted to let Cheng Yuefeng know that he was helping him and was on his side.
Liang Qun raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. Sure enough, what he had said before was not to offend this person, which was an extremely correct choice.
