Chapter 158 You actually believe Shen Jiaojiao's words?
"But I only did basic renovations on this house. You're used to living in a mansion, will you be able to adapt?"
Lin Muyan followed Rong Muchen's words and pretended that she had no opinions of her own.
She truly hadn't expected that even at this point, Rong Muchen would still be eyeing her house. Could it be that he knew the safe house was valuable? Or did he simply want the house?
Rong Muchen was taken aback upon hearing this, and his brows furrowed tightly.
It's just basic? Then why is there high-voltage electricity on the wall, and why doesn't anyone dare to cross it?
Rong Muchen wondered to himself, and then probed about the matter of superpowers again.
"Mu Yan, I heard you've awakened a superpower? Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Muyan instantly understood that Shen Jiaojiao must have said something to Rong Muchen, and that he had also taken a liking to the value of Awakened Ones, which was why he was rushing to reconcile with her.
Just as Lin Muyan was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Shen Jiaojiao's figure appearing again in the distance. She seemed to have seen what was happening here and was cautiously approaching, trying to eavesdrop.
Lin Muyan's expression flashed, and after a moment of silence, seeing that the time was right, she asked:
"Who told you? It must have been Shen Jiaojiao, right? What did she tell you?"
Rong Muchen didn't think much of it and said directly:
"She told me that you awakened the superpower of increased strength, which allows you to easily kill someone with a single kick. A colonel came to your house looking for you a few days ago, did you know that? That was also done by Shen Jiaojiao."
"Really? She's so kind as to introduce me to the colonel?" Lin Muyan's eyes flashed, and she saw Rong Muchen looking at her with disdain, complaining to her face behind Shen Jiaojiao's back.
"She doesn't mean any good; she wants you to go and die. You know, when someone awakens a superpower, the military recruits people specifically for the battlefield. She always mocks your superpower as being too low-level, saying you're just someone else's servant. Don't be fooled by her."
"Oh?" Lin Muyan looked surprised, covered her mouth and blinked.
"Her intentions are so malicious. And what about you? Why did you come to me? You're not after my abilities, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Muchen immediately felt guilty, but he put on a composed expression and covered his chest, saying:
"Mu Yan, of course I'm different from her. She may seem pure and kind on the surface, but she's actually a vicious and wicked person. I'm different. I'm only here to be with you and I don't want anything else."
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow and stopped, turning her head to look to the side. Shen Jiaojiao was so angry that her face was contorted and flushed red.
Coupled with the high temperature, he looked both disheveled and angry, like a bomb that could explode at any moment.
Rong Muchen seemed to sense something, turned his head and looked around. His face immediately turned extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.
He then realized that he had been tricked by Lin Muyan, and turned to look at her angrily.
"Are you trying to trick me into telling me something?"
Lin Muyan curled her lips and gave the other person a big eye roll with a look of disdain.
"I'm not stupid, but there's something you've got wrong. I haven't awakened any superpower that makes me stronger. You actually believe what Shen Jiaojiao said?"
After saying that, Lin Muyan gave each of them a playful look, then turned and left, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.
Shen Jiaojiao wanted to stop Lin Muyan from leaving.
But she felt her body swaying precariously, waves of heat pouring into her body, and every breath felt like her body was burning up, even the ice cubes she held in her arms were no use.
She dared not run after him and exhaust herself. If she really collapsed outside, she was certain that neither Lin Muyan nor Rong Muchen would care whether she lived or died.
Shen Jiaojiao wasn't stupid. She glared at Rong Muchen, then stared intently in the direction Lin Muyan had left, her eyes flickering with uncertainty, before finally turning and leaving.
Rong Muchen roared in anger, glaring resentfully at the Lin family.
Lin Muyan, you forced me to do this!
——
When Lin Muyan returned to the safe house, her family gathered around to check on her. They were relieved to find out that she hadn't suffered any harm.
Shen Jiaojiao quickly left the area and returned to the place where she had collected the supplies.
By this time, the military tents had been dismantled, leaving only a few staff members packing up their belongings.
Seeing that others were arriving late, the other party was clearly getting impatient.
"Why are you taking so long to come after all this shouting through the loudspeaker? Hurry up, it's so hot, are you trying to kill us?"
Those who remained appeared to be a few community workers. They had taken on the work from above and could receive more supplies, but they were also risking dying from the heat to work.
They find people like Shen Jiaojiao, who are so indecisive and fussy, extremely annoying.
After showing her identification and receiving the supplies, Shen Jiaojiao asked, seemingly casually:
Where are those soldiers who were here just now?
A young man who was organizing supplies looked up at Shen Jiaojiao and showed a disdainful look. Another woman trying to get close to a soldier. These days, everyone wants to find a good backer to solve their food and safety problems. Those special forces soldiers are all potential stocks.
He said dismissively:
"They left a long time ago. Take your things and get out of here. Don't interfere with our work."
In the corner, the ice is melting rapidly; we must leave before it melts.
Undeterred, Shen Jiaojiao asked again:
"Do you know if they'll come again next time supplies are distributed? Or will it be that handsome Captain Xiao delivering the supplies?"
After returning home, Shen Jiaojiao deeply regretted her arrogant behavior.
She can't even get in touch with Colonel Huang now; she shouldn't have offended Captain Xiao.
Although the other party's rank is a bit low, if used properly, they can become one of my people in the future.
The young man raised his head, glanced at Shen Jiaojiao from head to toe, and let out a sneer.
"You know he's handsome, right? If you do, hurry up and go home and look in the mirror to see what you look like. Don't think that Colonel Xiao can be interested in just anyone. I wouldn't even be interested in you."
The young man greatly admired Xiao Li. He felt that he could die without regrets if he could work with a special forces colonel even once in his life.
However, this foolish woman, who was ignorant of her own limitations, attempted to seduce Colonel Xiao.
Shen Jiaojiao, angered by the sarcasm, was about to lash out when she suddenly realized something and abruptly raised her voice, shrilly:
"What did you just say? Who did you say he is?"
The young man looked down on Shen Jiaojiao more and more.
"Colonel Xiao is not only handsome, but also young and promising. He doesn't just talk to any Tom, Dick, or Harry. You? You wouldn't be good enough for him even if you had ten plastic surgeries."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao swayed and almost fell over.
Colonel Xiao? Isn't that guy the captain? How did he become a colonel?
Suddenly, Shen Jiaojiao realized that she had been tricked. Perhaps the other party wanted to keep a low profile, or perhaps they wanted to test her, so they deliberately did not reveal their identity.
She seemed to have lost her mind at the time, only wanting to deal with higher-ranking military figures, and ended up offending him completely.
At that moment, Shen Jiaojiao felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the sky had collapsed. She rolled her eyes and fainted.
The young man was so angry when he saw it that he started cursing.
Just as they were trying to wake Shen Jiaojiao up, another person arrived late.
"I know her. Give her to me, I'll take her home..."
