Jiang Yao hid in a corner, and Wang Shiqi would find her if he took a few more steps forward.
Just as Jiang Yao's position was about to be exposed, Xiao Mu arrived in time.
When Xiao Mu saw Wang Shiqi about to kill Jiang Yao, he had the idea of getting rid of Wang Shiqi, but he couldn't let her die so easily.
When Wang Shiqi saw that it was Xiao Mu, her eyes reddened slightly and glistened with tears. She turned around nervously and ran towards Xiao Mu.
She looked at Xiao Mu with a pitiful expression and said softly with a wronged tone, "Brother Xiao, Jiang Yao wants to kill me."
"You won't just abandon me, will you?"
After hearing Wang Shiqi's words, Jiang Yao mouthed to herself, "Brother Xiao, you won't abandon me, right?" After saying that, she shuddered and felt a chill.
A soft, rustling sound.
Jiang Yao's position was completely exposed because of this tremor.
Wang Shiqi sneered, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. He turned and strode towards Jiang Yao's position, firing a shot.
Bang--
Bang--
When Jiang Yao heard two gunshots, she cautiously peeked out and saw that Wang Shiqi's wrist was covered in blood.
Wang Shiqi could hardly believe that Xiao Mu had actually shot himself and injured his hand for Jiang Yao.
Seeing this, Jiang Yao stepped forward, looked between the two, and clicked her tongue lightly as she looked at Xiao Mu, "How can you be so insensitive to a woman's feelings!"
"Brother Xiao, why?" Tears streamed down her face.
Xiao Mu's sharp eyes swept over Wang Shiqi, like a razor-sharp sword, revealing an undisguised killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.
"Do you think you, as a subordinate, have the right to interfere in my affairs?"
Wang Shiqi's eyes reddened and tears welled up as she muttered, "I don't believe it."
"This can't be real." When she saw her bleeding hand, she had to accept the reality: Xiao Mu had really intended to kill her.
In fact, Xiao Mu had already harbored murderous intent towards Wang Shiqi after encountering the refugees, but he was restrained by Zhu Hezheng.
Now, her attempt to kill Jiang Yao through someone else has touched a raw nerve. Injuring her hand was merely a warning; if it happens again, her life will be spared.
Jiang Yao ignored how Xiao Mu handled Wang Shiqi's matter and went to a jade shop in the city alone.
Jiang Yao used tools to unlock the door of the jade shop. Just as she was about to push the door open and enter, she saw Xiao Mu rushing over in the reflection of the glass on the door. Without hesitation, Jiang Yao opened the door and went in.
Looking at the small amount of jade in the display case, Jiang Yao, determined not to waste it, used a fire axe she took out from her spatial dimension to split open the display case and put the jade into her spatial dimension.
Seeing that Jiang Yao ignored him, Xiao Mu silently followed behind her and helped smash the other display cases so that Jiang Yao could collect them.
When they arrived at the next store, although there weren't many jade stones in the display case, the size was decent. They used the same method to split open the display case and collect the jade stones.
This time, Jiang Yao found a safe in a cabinet inside the room. To be honest, opening such a thing was not her forte.
Having no other choice, he turned around and looked at Xiao Mu.
When Xiao Mu saw Jiang Yao looking at him, the corners of his mouth turned up and he said, "I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore."
Jiang Yao said she wasn't a petty person and really didn't want to ask him for help if she could, but reality was cruel, and she had no choice but to ask Xiao Mu for help when faced with the safe.
"You haven't offended me, so why shouldn't I talk to you?" After saying that, he stepped aside and pointed to the safe behind him, saying, "The time has come when I need you, here you go."
Xiao Mu shook his head and smiled wryly as he stepped forward. After asking Jiang Yao for the tools, he carefully began to unlock the safe.
As Xiao Mu unlocked the safe, he explained to Jiang Yao that it was made by DGG and had the highest security and anti-theft rating to date.
When Jiang Yao heard Xiao Mu say that this was the safe with the highest anti-theft coefficient, she raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly said, "Are you sure?" She was subtly hinting at something to Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu glanced at his own hand movements and understood Jiang Yao's meaning. He chuckled and said, "What I did doesn't count. This isn't a society governed by the rule of law."
The moment the safe was opened, Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu were slightly stunned.
A wealthy family!
It's top-quality Hetian jade, and the piece is quite large.
Xiao Mu took out the jade, and Jiang Yao gently stroked it with her hand.
But he said aloud, "Such good things are wasting their time sitting here. I should put you (jade) to good use!"
"You (jade) don't need to thank me."
"I wonder if there's enough space to even fill a tooth gap." After putting the jade into his spatial storage, he turned and left.
Xiao Mu watched Jiang Yao's actions just now, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
On the way back, Jiang Yao sensed that her space seemed to have doubled in size compared to before, and her mood improved as a result.
When Shen Zhijie saw that the two had returned safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're both alright. When Wang Shiqi came back, he was seriously injured."
Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu exchanged a glance and looked at Shen Zhijie with a puzzled expression.
"It was found by someone on their way back from searching for supplies."
"His body was covered in scars."
"You two didn't encounter anything, did you?"
Jiang Yao shook her head and replied, "No."
Jiang Yao remembered that when she parted ways with Wang Shiqi, she only had a gunshot wound to her hand, and there was no danger around her!
How could he have been so badly injured!
So he walked up to Xiao Mu and whispered, "You didn't do anything to her after I left, did you?"
