The guards vaguely remembered that when these people were arrested yesterday, they had rosy complexions, full of energy, and were in high spirits.
In just one night, they seemed to have been drained of their energy. Their complexion was sallow, their skin was loose, their cheeks were sunken, their eyes were bluish, and their lips were purple. They looked like they were about to die.
What, what exactly is going on?
They, the Red Revolutionary Committee, were indeed using certain pretexts to express their hatred of the rich, but they didn't want to cause a death here before they could extract any information from the people they knew.
So the guard hurriedly went out, and a few moments later several people came in together.
The men glanced at the group of people in the cell, frowned, and asked, "What happened? How could you have abused them like this?"
"We haven't even had a chance to make a move yet."
"Yes, yes. Don't wrong us. All our manpower today went to those places..." The man made a digging gesture, "How could we possibly have time to deal with them? Besides..."
I don't know which unlucky guy came to deliver a tip today, but the first and second teams have already gone to arrest him.
The letter said that one couple were having an affair and were planning to abscond with the money. Another group were murderers and burying bodies, supposedly for the money.
These things don't need to be explained too clearly; the general meaning is enough for those who understand.
"So, we don't have anyone here tonight."
"that is."
"So what's going on with them?"
"Who knows? Maybe they've done too many wicked things?"
"Should we get them a doctor? What if they die? I don't want anyone to die."
"Why are you so cowardly? So what if you die? How many people have died here? Besides, we've received orders from above, the list has already been sent out, we're going to be very busy for the next month."
"Besides, didn't we already ask them questions? And what happened? They didn't have anything."
"Tsk, let's go. Let's go. Let's get some rest and wait for the big meal at dawn."
When the topic of a big meal came up, everyone exchanged glances and let out a series of chuckles, those who knew, knew.
Because in a few hours, their chance to make some extra money will come.
After they left, Lan Yao peeked out and glanced around. Seeing the miserable state of the Lan, Xu, and Qian families, she couldn't help but click her tongue in disapproval.
Look! Look!
This is the daughter/granddaughter/granddaughter you raised yourself, so how did she treat you like this?
That's like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, showing no mercy whatsoever!
Lan Yao cursed inwardly: Serves you right!
She turned her gaze away and looked at the jade Pixiu in her palm, which had become smooth, translucent, and shimmering with golden light.
At this moment, the jade Pixiu had automatically recognized its owner. Lan Yao could clearly sense the surrounding fortune and wealth, as well as how much good luck, peace, and exorcism it would bring.
It's a pity that the so-called shop disappeared, and the system turned into energy and merged with the jade Pixiu.
With a gentle squeeze, the jade Pixiu transformed into a simple wooden bracelet that was placed on Lan Yao's wrist.
Lan Yao shook it and thought that although it was simple and worn, it looked quite nice on her wrist.
She stretched and prepared to leave first, find a place to sleep; she had been busy all night and needed to rest.
Before she could even take a step with her left foot, she sensed that Lan Jiaojiao was up to something again.
Lan Yao: ...
This feeling is somewhat familiar, just like the system we just encountered.
Lan Yao instantly stopped in her tracks and moved closer. Her mental energy keenly sensed that something seemed to want to enter Lan Jiaojiao's brain and merge with her.
Lan Yao: ...
No way! No way! Is this how the female lead is treated? A darling of the heavens?
Is God being too biased?
Lan Yao clicked her tongue lightly. Since it's something given by God, it must be a good thing, right?
Lan Yao decided she couldn't sit idly by and wait to die; she had to strike first.
So, she decisively used her mental power. Before that thing could merge with Lan Jiaojiao, she increased the use of her mental power. This action woke Lan Jiaojiao up in pain. She rolled on the ground in agony and cried out loudly.
"Help...help me!"
Is...is...is anyone there?
"It hurts! It hurts! Someone, come quick!"
Lan Yao's eyes turned cold and sharp. With a burst of mental power, she pulled something directly out of Lan Jiaojiao's brain.
The thing sensed danger and tried to escape, but how could Lan Yao let it get away? Her mental energy quickly transformed into a large net, completely surrounding the thing.
How could that thing easily give in? It struggled violently, trying to escape from the layers of mental web woven by Lan Yao.
However, the more it struggled, the tighter the net woven by this spiritual force became.
Realizing it couldn't escape, the creature made a decisive choice: to self-destruct, hoping to harm the enemy as well.
Lan Yao hadn't expected this thing to be so cunning and decisive, and her mental strength was indeed damaged because of the damage it caused.
However, her jade Pixiu soon appeared. The small creature inhaled the air, and the energy that was about to dissipate and a few small fragments in the air were sucked into the belly of the jade Pixiu.
The jade Pixiu transferred its energy to Lan Yao through the contract. With the help of the jade Pixiu, Lan Yao's damaged mental strength not only recovered but also became slightly stronger than before. Lan Yao was quite surprised to discover this fact.
