The next morning, Zhang Yufei, who had been sleeping for several hours, woke up again and looked at Jiang Wu, who was still fast asleep, with a complicated expression.
Her eyes held hatred and confusion.
Finally, she got dressed and left the room.
After she left, Jiang Wu opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
With Zhang Yufei's current strength, apart from the bishop, the archdeacon, and those knights, the other chosen believers are far from being her match.
Even against those so-called knights, Zhang Yufei has a fighting chance.
Let her make a scene.
First floor.
Lin Xiaoyu is cleaning.
Seeing Zhang Yufei walking somewhat awkwardly, Lin Xiaoyu whispered a reminder: "Actually, Master Wu treats his own people very well."
Zhang Yufei took a deep breath and asked softly, "Can you tell me what you know?"
Lin Xiaoyu said earnestly, "These past few days, he hasn't made things difficult for me at all. He even lets me eat at the table with him, and he's even let me eat the precious meat of the evolved beasts..."
Zhang Yufei seemed to be deep in thought.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu kept speaking up for Jiang Wu, Zhang Yufei finally retorted sarcastically, "No matter what, it can't change the fact that he's ruthless."
After saying that, Zhang Yufei left the villa.
Back at Veranica's villa, Veranica appeared directly next to Zhang Yufei and sighed, "He forced himself on you?"
Zhang Yufei nodded, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "Miss Nika, it doesn't matter."
The next second, she smiled and said, "Miss Nika, I have become a beginner-level evolved being!"
Veronica's eyes were originally full of disgust for Jiang Wu, but when she heard the following words, her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "That's good, you have already acquired the basic ability to protect yourself."
Then she continued, "Yufei, now that you've become an evolved being, please don't call me Miss Nika anymore. After all, we were classmates in the same university. When I came to China to study alone, you took the initiative to befriend me. I still remember that when I was most helpless, you helped me."
Zhang Yufei shook her head and said, "Miss Nika, without you, I would have died long ago, or become another man's plaything. You saved my life, and as your maid, it is only right that I call you Miss."
Veronica sighed softly and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Zhang Yufei said seriously, "Miss Nika, Bai Wu said that I am now his woman, and I can make my own decisions about things in the villa. I plan to go to the ant zone first to find 20 unfortunate women to work as maids in his villa, and also to find out what exactly happened in the poisoning incident."
Veronica nodded and said seriously, "Okay, the higher-ups of the Chosen Ones want to win over Bai Wu. Now that he acknowledges you as his woman, you can use that identity to your advantage."
With a self-deprecating laugh, Veranica sighed, "It's a pity that even though I am the vice-bishop of the Chosen Church, due to ideological differences, Bishop Adam and those higher-ups are too wary of me, which has led to them not giving you any face as my head lady-in-waiting."
Zhang Yufei said gratefully, "Miss Nika, you have helped us so much, we will always remember it!"
After applying the ointment and resting in the bedroom for a while, Zhang Yufei put on the robe made of giant beast skin that Veranika had given her and headed towards the ant colony.
The poisoning incident occurred in the eastern ant area.
Accompanied by a guard from the sub-bishop's manor, Zhang Yufei stepped into the East Ant District.
A stench of mold, decay, and excrement assaulted their senses, and the guards nearby quickly covered their noses.
Zhang Yufei, however, did not react and continued walking forward.
The conditions in the eastern ant colony were the worst of the four colonies, with low shacks lined up one after another.
Sewage flowed freely in the narrow alleyway, and several emaciated children were squatting in a corner, seemingly searching for something.
Zhang Yufei looked at the children, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes.
She was powerless to help these children for the time being.
After walking through an alley, Zhang Yufei and her guards arrived at a relatively spacious area.
This area is inhabited by some local bullies from the Eastern Ant District, although they can only fawn over the Chosen Ones.
Yet, compared to ordinary residents of the ant colony, they are superior.
Countless eyes were fixed on Zhang Yufei, their gazes filled with greed.
But seeing the animal skin robe she wore, the greed in their eyes quickly disappeared.
They knew that only the Chosen Ones were entitled to wear such robes.
This unbelievably beautiful woman is a Chosen One!
The guard who came with Zhang Yufei raised his automatic rifle and said arrogantly, "Where is the person in charge here?! Come out!"
Soon, a burly man emerged, a cigarette dangling from his lips, followed by a dozen or so tall, muscular men.
Although those big men weren't exactly burly, they were far stronger than the ordinary people in the ant colony.
The burly man with a cigarette in his mouth said with a smile, "Sir, I am Chen Qiang. The people here have elected me to be the leader of Group 12 in the East Ant District."
There are four ant colonies, each divided into 36 groups. Each group has a leader who manages approximately 1,000 ants.
He was considered a mid-level manager in the ant colony.
They claim to be elected by the residents, but in reality, they are all appointed by the Chosen Ones.
These group leaders are basically lackeys of the Chosen Ones.
Zhang Yufei didn't say much, coldly asking, "Didn't your group have a poisoning incident? What's the situation now? Where are the poisoned people?"
Chen Qiang was confident and not afraid of Zhang Yufei.
After all, in the City of the Chosen, the Chinese Chosen Ones held a far lower status than the Western Chosen Ones.
His superior was a Western Christian!
Chen Qiang said with a smile, "Sir, I have already reported this matter to my superiors, and they have also sent people to handle it. I wonder whose orders you are on to investigate this matter?"
The guard said with a serious expression, "We are the archdeacon's men!"
Chen Qiang's pupils contracted.
Although the higher-ups said that if the archdeacon's people came to investigate, they could just give a perfunctory answer.
However, when he actually faced the people sent by the archdeacon, he felt genuinely guilty.
He was just an ordinary person. If the archdeacon's men really killed him, he would have nowhere to turn for help.
Chen Qiang quickly took out his walkie-talkie and said into it, "Sir, the Vice-Bishop has sent people to Group 12 of the East Ant District to investigate the poisoning incident."
Zhang Yufei frowned, but did not stop him from tipping off the person.
After all, it couldn't be stopped.
After Chen Qiang finished speaking, Zhang Yufei sneered, "Now you can tell me the truth? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Chen Qiang's face turned somewhat grim. He said cautiously, "Sir, the total number of people poisoned is 132, and 38 have died."
Stealing a glance at Zhang Yufei's face, Chen Qiang added, "Sir, those who died were mostly the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Their physical condition was too poor. As for the young and strong, they were all fine."
