“That’s exactly what I mean!” Jiang Ruan emerged from the smoke, her serious expression making Jiang Hong blush.
"Boss, you're finally here!" Zhang Yang tried to struggle to get up, but his body was too heavy and too weak, so he couldn't.
Jiang Ruan walked to his side, and a faint green light enveloped Zhang Yang. In a short while, he returned to normal.
Following that, Duan Yu and Jiang Yan were also rescued by Jiang Ruan, and both were indignant.
But they didn't have time to react, because Jiang Hong's body was right there. With such a sharp and precise bullet, there was no way she could have survived.
"You're the Taoist priest's boss, you can save them! Please, please save my wife! I just knocked her unconscious, I'm so worried about her, is she in any danger?"
Liu Yu was almost frantic, and quickly took a moment to speak.
"No rush, let me see." Jiang Ruan had no reason to refuse, after all, this was the person she was looking for, who owed her a favor, and she figured he would be happy to help her later.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Jiang Ruan walked to Su Wan's side and, seeing the blush on her cheeks and the hot breath she exhaled, instantly understood.
They quickly activated a protective shield and used a piece of cloth torn from the space to cover the only transparent part, completely obscuring the two of them.
Liu Yu, who was outside, was unaware of what had happened. He thought his wife might have met with misfortune and tried to rush up to stop her, but Zhang Yang stopped him.
"What are you doing? Do you want your wife to live? Don't look at things you shouldn't be watching while the boss is being treated, no matter who you are."
Liu Yu pursed his lips, thought for a moment and realized that he had been too abrupt. "I'm sorry, you've helped me so much, but I didn't trust you. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright, just wait, they'll be out soon." Understanding Liu Yu's worry and anxiety, Zhang Yang still reached out to comfort him.
Liu Yu didn't say anything, just nodded, squatted down, and sobbed in anguish while holding his daughter's body.
A short while later, Jiang Ruan put away the protective shield and arranged for Duan Yu to ride back to the Xiao residence at full speed, instructing her mother to take good care of herself and to make sure she was well protected.
"Girl, how is my wife?" Liu Yu rushed out first, and seeing Su Wan lying on the ground with a calm expression, he quickly ran over.
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Yu, supporting Su Wan's arm, and the couple knelt down together to pay their respects to Jiang Ruan.
"Get up, both of you. What kind of situation is this? Let's talk things out."
It was Liu Yu who said it: "Girl, we had our fortunes told here, and we know perfectly well that someone here is a ghost, but I never expected to actually meet a benefactor."
Actually, you weren't wrong. I've asked at least three masters, and their answers were remarkably similar to yours. So, after the Taoist priest said it, I made up my mind to trust you, knowing that if you can't kill zombies, then there are no capable or wise people left in this world.”
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he looked up at Jiang Ruan and saw that her expression remained unchanged, with a calm demeanor. He knew that what he had said had not offended her.
He continued, "We know this decision is outrageous, but I sincerely hope you can give it a try. If it succeeds, I'll do whatever you ask."
Jiang Ruan was waiting for this very sentence.
"You said you'd do whatever I asked you to do. I won't say much else, but I certainly won't make things difficult for you. I'll treat you as honored guests and take good care of you. So you don't need to worry about that."
As for what you're asking for, I suspect... it's her, your daughter Liu Baibai.
Jiang Ruan's words had revealed their true feelings, and the two sighed deeply. They bowed three times to Jiang Ruan and then stood up.
"Great, we finally have an architecture expert. So, boss, shall we leave here?"
Zhang Yang looked at the darkening sky outside and asked.
Jiang Ruan waved her hand, signaling him to wait a moment, and then continued to stare at the two of them, wanting them to say it themselves.
"Please, save my daughter. You have great powers, I believe you can do whatever it takes. Please, I beg you, make sure she wakes up. This is my lifelong wish."
"Alright, I agree, but from now on you will have to follow us at all times and be my subordinates. Do you agree?"
The two stared at Jiang Ruan in disbelief. From the moment she agreed, Jiang Ruan had become a god in their hearts, an unattainable being.
“We agreed. I said I would do whatever you asked me to do without complaining.”
Liu Yu nodded. His unyielding integrity and refusal to bow to the powerful and wealthy had completely won over the two men.
As long as their daughter was still alive, they felt much more at peace.
After packing their things, the group left.
When Xiao's father rushed back, he only found Jiang Hong's body.
Just yesterday we were entwined in each other's arms, and today all that's left is a cold, lifeless corpse.
"Go and find out what happened! What's going on here?" Mr. Xiao was furious, his voice filled with unconcealed grief.
Jiang Hong had tacitly approved of all her mistakes. She had finally managed to cultivate a good liaison here, but unexpectedly someone ruined it all.
How could he possibly swallow this insult?
"Report!"
"Come in and tell me what happened." Chief Xiao looked at the moon with a melancholy expression, feeling a mix of emotions. Only after his subordinate handed him the investigation results did he frown and examine them carefully.
"Fortune tellers? What are those? Could it be..."
Xiao Zhouzhang remembered that he and Xiao Xiang had witnessed the interaction between Liu Yu and the Taoist priest. He found it absurd and unbelievable.
But the text in the investigation results made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, like he had thorns in his back.
"That's right. As far as I know, there are four of them in total. Two people are in charge of guarding the stalls, one is responsible for checking the posts at any time, and the other looks around to get a clear view of the people and their residences in the entire resettlement area."
Although we don't know their motives, they are definitely up to no good. Perhaps the recent zombie aggression was also because of them. "Chief, what do you think? Should we continue investigating?"
Chief Xiao snorted coldly, "Investigate? Why not investigate? I want to see clearly who it is and what happened, that dares to run wild on my territory."
After showing off their power, the group was about to leave when a guard stopped them, "Chief, what should we do with this?"
Without turning his head, Xiao Zhouzhang said, "Throw her into the incinerator, burn her to ashes, and use her ashes to commemorate my fallen brothers. Let's go!"
Chief Xiao doesn't care what kind of woman you are; he only knows that you can bring him benefits or do something for him. If that's the case, then you have value to him.
Conversely, they will treat you cruelly, so that you will not find peace even in death.
