Chapter 139: How many years should he be sentenced?
Jiang Liyue turned her head and found a man and a woman standing not far away, both looking in her direction.
Jiang Liyue had seen the man before; he was Jiang Zhou, the original owner's second brother who had come looking for trouble after she finished her first instance of the game. As for the woman—
Jiang Liyue glanced at the woman next to her, dressed in a formal gown and with a cool expression. In her memory, this was the true daughter of the Jiang family.
That is, the female protagonist Jiang Lingxue who mysteriously appeared.
After his initial surprise, Jiang Zhou angrily strode up to Jiang Liyue and demanded, "You moved?"
When he went to Jiang Liyue's rented apartment before, she kicked him out. When he went to find her again, the apartment was empty.
Jiang Zhou had assumed she had encountered some kind of trouble, but he never expected to see her here.
A fleeting sense of relief quickly turned to anger: "If nothing happened, why didn't you contact your family?"
"Home?" Jiang Liyue said with a smile, "How come I remember when I was kicked out, you told me not to go back? Is the Jiang family my home?"
Jiang Zhou never expected that she, who was always obedient, would talk back.
The original Jiang Liyue looked just like her; she was a sweet and lovely little girl. Compared to her slightly older brother, Jiang Zhou was close in age to her, and they were very close.
In his memory, Jiang Liyue was spoiled and prone to crying, but in fact she was very obedient to her family and would never talk back to him in such a sarcastic way.
After being rebuked, Jiang Zhou's expression froze. He then reacted with suspicion, "You haven't been corrupted by something strange, have you?"
Since the arrival of the supernatural, some areas have been contaminated by it, and humans cannot approach them at will; their personalities may also change drastically.
"Your brain is the one that's been polluted," Jiang Liyue rolled her eyes.
If she hadn't been so careful not to cause trouble for Huang Linye, Jiang Zhou would have been beaten up by now.
"How dare you talk to me like that!" Jiang Zhou exploded at the slightest provocation, staring at her in disbelief.
However, his voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of several pairs of eyes around him.
Jiang Liyue took two steps back in disgust, not wanting to talk to him: "Mind your manners in public."
Jiang Zhou was furious. Noticing the gazes of others, his face flushed red with anger, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Jiang Lingxue walked up to Jiang Zhou at some point and gave Jiang Liyue a cold glance.
Her expression was aloof and condescending: "Little sister, what are you doing here? This is a player exchange meeting. Aren't you afraid to enter the eerie game?"
It was because the original owner was too afraid to enter the eerie game that she was kicked out of the Jiang family's house.
"Yeah, you're too scared to go into the game and you don't have any money, so how did you get here?" Jiang Zhou felt emboldened by this reminder. Looking at her simply dressed appearance, he mocked, "You didn't sneak up here to freeload, did you?"
Jiang Liyue glanced at the smug Jiang Zhou and the aloof Jiang Lingxue standing beside him, and found it utterly boring.
The Jiang family knew that the original owner had no money, and they even kicked her out of the house in order to force her to go home and marry a powerful player in his forties with a lewd appearance.
"Or did you know we would come here and deliberately came to apologize to us?"
"Now you know how good Brother Liu is, right? He's cleared so many dungeons, so many people want to follow him, but you..."
"You're noisy." Jiang Liyue glanced at him disdainfully, interrupting his incessant chatter.
If Jiang Zhou continued talking, she really couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't cause trouble at Huang Linye's place.
After all, Huang Linye had treated her fairly well, and she didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Just as Jiang Zhou was interrupted and looked displeased, Huang Linye finally appeared.
Huang Linye is the only son of the Huang family. After the strange occurrence, the Huang family seized the opportunity and recruited a large number of players. They still have many items and points, and can even hold player exchange meetings.
Therefore, Huang Linye attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
Even Jiang Lingxue, who usually has a cool and aloof expression, took a step forward and tried to strike up a conversation when she saw Huang Linye walking towards them.
But Huang Linye ignored them all and walked up to Jiang Liyue with a grin, saying, "Sister Yue, why are you talking here?"
Before Jiang Liyue could speak, Jiang Zhou leaned closer again: "Hello, Young Master Huang, I'm Jiang Zhou from Jiang's Real Estate. This is my sister, we..."
Jiang Liyue turned to look at Huang Linye: "Um, do you mind if I hit someone here?"
Huang Linye nodded, puzzled, "Of course."
The next moment, Jiang Zhou was kicked away.
His body slammed to the ground with a loud thud, and everyone in the hall immediately turned to look in that direction.
Huang Linye, who was standing closest, was stunned by Jiang Liyue's swift actions, staring wide-eyed at the scene before him: "Ah, this..."
Jiang Liyue pulled her foot back, turned her head, and smiled with her eyes crinkling: "Sorry, it's just that this person is a bit too noisy."
Upon seeing this, Huang Linye felt a sense of familiarity—it was her, the same Yue Jie who smiled sweetly but hit people hard!
As for the person who got hit, well, Sister Yue had her reasons for hitting him.
He definitely deserved to be hit.
In the end, Jiang Liyue finally got to enjoy the seafood feast she had been longing for.
Jiang Zhou wanted to come up and cause trouble, but Jiang Lingxue, who seemed to have figured something out, stopped him.
Jiang Lingxue is indeed the true daughter of the Jiang family, which is very much in line with the Jiang family's nature of prioritizing interests.
Jiang Liyue wasn't the original owner of this body, so she didn't care at all. Whether she was the female lead or not was irrelevant to her.
Fortunately, she ran into Jiang Zhou and his sister a few times in the following days.
They all just watched her from afar, hesitant to speak, and didn't come any closer to get beaten. Jiang Liyue pretended not to see it.
After enjoying several days of seafood feasts, they were finally taken home in a private jet arranged by Huang Linye, feeling completely satisfied.
When I got home, Chu Li's door next door was still tightly closed; I wondered if he was still away on a business trip.
"Looks like I'll have to wait until the next dungeon comes out before I can invite him to dinner," Jiang Liyue muttered to herself.
Sure enough, not long after she got home, a new instance of the game began.
[Instance Name: Prison 01]
Dungeon Difficulty: A
Mission: Escape from Prison 01 within seven days / Find Noy
[Prison No. 01 houses some of the world's most heinous and dangerous criminals. What brought you here?]
[Survival Guide for Prison No. 1:]
1. Please stay away from prisoners; they are cruel, bloodthirsty, and cunning.
2. The warden is the only master here; please obey him.
As the familiar darkness was drawn back, Jiang Liyue hadn't even stood up properly when she heard a commotion around her.
She and a dozen other players stood in a dark corridor, with prison guards in uniform at the front and back.
Both sides were iron bars, through which pairs of eyes, filled with ferocity and greed, peeked out.
"Hey, these are the new friends? They look pretty weak."
A burly, muscular man with a fierce glint in his eyes looked at Jiang Liyue and her group through the iron bars, his eyes filled with utter mockery.
"Exactly, exactly. These new recruits look incredibly weak. I hope they get killed as soon as they get to prison. That would be boring." A scarred man next to him grinned lewdly.
The whistles and cheers grew louder as Jiang Liyue walked by.
"Where did this pretty young lady come from, that she's ended up in our prison?"
"Hey beautiful, wanna come with me? I'll definitely protect you!"
"Look how fair her face is, it must feel so soft to the touch."
The sounds rose and fell around her, and Jiang Liyue suddenly stopped.
She walked at the very back of the line, and as soon as she stopped, the prison guards behind her noticed and were about to urge her on.
She turned her head, a sweet smile on her pretty face.
The prison guard was stunned. So pretty and cute!
“Um…” Jiang Liyue said with a smile, her voice sweet as honey.
"What are the possible sentence lengths for damaging prison facilities and engaging in fights with other inmates?"
The prison guard hadn't even reacted yet: "Huh?"
