"You!" The injured man was Jiang Yan, the captain of the investigation team. He looked at Nan Xun and saw that she was concerned about his door frame. He felt a surge of anger.
Unable to hold it in, he spat out another stream of blood.
"Ayan!" The girl beside him was Du Yu, the deputy captain of the investigation team. She helped Jiang Yan up, leaned him against the other side of the door frame, and gently stroked his back to help him catch his breath.
"If you were just a bystander, that would be one thing, but how could you just open the door without regard for people's lives?"
"You were the one who wouldn't open the door just now, and you're the one who suddenly opened it. Ayan got hurt because of you, and you're still worried about your door frame. How can you be so cold-blooded!"
While examining Jiang Yan's body, Du Yu accused Jiang Ruan.
Jiang Ruan: "??? Are you sick?"
The others also stepped forward to check on the injuries. When they found that Jiang Yan was dizzy and not very responsive, their resentful gazes all turned to Jiang Ruan.
"??? Don't be so ridiculous!"
Jiang Ruan felt a storm raging in her heart, and there was a swear word she didn't know if she could say it.
As the child of a teacher, my remaining self-restraint tells me that I must endure it.
But it's the end of the world, so who's going to indulge whom?
So Jiang Ruan immediately stood up and calmly looked at Ye Yu, "Are you alright? If you have eyes, you should have seen that it was you who broke down my door, okay?"
"It's my stuff, so what if I'm just checking on it? If you're sick, take your medicine. Don't come here and cause trouble."
Ye Yu's face turned visibly dark, and the veins on the back of her hands were bulging, showing that she was suppressing her anger.
“You are a suspicious person, and we are responsible for investigating you. You are not cooperating and even blocked the door with a broken stone. I will definitely report your actions to the state truthfully.”
"Then we'll see if you're still so stubborn."
After holding back for so long, Ye Yu could only resort to using the nation's influence to suppress Jiang Ruan.
"Heh, you've been holding back for so long and still haven't come up with anything good. Don't try to pressure me with the country. I'm one of the top ten good citizens, a model citizen for sure. But you guys, causing trouble here in the middle of the afternoon, are you going to compensate me for my losses?" Jiang Ruan looked at Ye Yu coldly.
"Exactly, you think we're suspicious just because you say so? What, do you think we're suspicious too? A bunch of weirdos in black, you don't look like a national investigation team at all."
"Could they be pretending to be here just to seize our house and supplies? I need to call the police. You're the bad guys." Seeing their tense atmosphere and the fact that they seemed to be bullying them, Wanmei stepped in front of them to block their way.
Although she is a caregiver, she has practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), so she is not afraid of them and can protect Jiang Ruan.
“If you dare to doubt us, we have identification. You are completely acting like scoundrels. We have the right to detain you immediately.”
"Yes, we have special privileges, so it's fine for us to use them."
"Why waste words with her? We can handle two women."
Their teammates were in an uproar, and they all pulled out their pistols and pointed them at Jiang Ruan and Wan Mei.
"What? Does that mean the investigation team can just point guns at innocent civilians? This is an abuse of power. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the state?" Jiang Ruan quickly pulled Wan Mei behind her when she saw the pistols being drawn.
This silly girl, I hope she doesn't get hurt.
"Punishment? You seem very intelligent. You must have heard the saying, 'A general in the field may disobey orders from others.'"
Is this an attempt to overstep their authority? Jiang Ruan sneered inwardly. What a joke! Daring to use force on my turf?
"Heh!" Jiang Ruan chuckled dismissively upon hearing her words.
Regardless of his own special abilities, the fact that he spent 300 million to renovate this house is enough to make them never return. Who gave them the audacity to run wild here?
Seeing that the other party just smiled, Ye Yu felt even more confident.
She had to be tough. Even if things went badly, she had these people behind her to protect her, so she wouldn't get hurt too badly. The priority now was to protect Jiang Yan; she hadn't caught up with him yet, and he couldn't die.
But the stone looked incredibly powerful; even someone with divine power couldn't do it, so she was even more determined to get it.
This way, he will see my capabilities and be more likely to agree.
While Ye Yu was still daydreaming, Jiang Ruan and the others wouldn't let her stay there any longer.
Because evening is approaching.
"Jiang Ruan, why don't we just ignore them and go inside? Whether they live or die is none of our business." Wan Mei tugged at Jiang Ruan's sleeve and whispered, "Look over there, the sun is about to set."
The sun? You can't even see the sun on a cloudy day, Jiang Ruan thought helplessly, but Wan Mei was right.
What does it matter to me whether they live or die?
"Don't rush, wait a little longer." Jiang Ruan saw how stubborn this group of people were, and wondered if they would still be so sharp-tongued when they saw the zombies.
She was eager to see it.
More importantly, she still hasn't obtained the glowing pillar inside that boulder.
She stepped over Jiang Yan's body; he still hasn't woken up.
Jiang Ruan saw that he was only seriously injured and in a coma. She did have a way to treat him, but she didn't want to.
So, without any hesitation, I walked to the stone pillar, touched it with my hands, and felt no warmth.
Seeing Jiang Ruan recklessly heading in that direction, Ye Yu felt a sense of schadenfreude. It seemed that what they had experienced, she was about to go through as well.
She felt a surge of joy in her heart!
She waited to see Jiang Ruan bar her teeth and scream, but the next second, Jiang Ruan opened her mouth wide under her control, and was stunned.
After Jiang Ruan tested it, she felt the slight movement of the bell on her fingertips and a cool sensation flowing through her body. Her hand had already reached out to grab the stone pillar uncontrollably.
"Hey, no..."
"careful!"
Amidst Zhang Yang and Wan Mei's shouts, Jiang Ruan managed to grab it, but she wasn't burned.
The coolness within her body clashed with the heat emanating from the stone pillar, then neutralized. This combined warmth gave Jiang Ruan a light, floating feeling, as if she could take off and fly away at any moment.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the expected tragedy did not occur. Instead, the petals in Jiang Ruan's hand gained color and were coated with a light blue halo. Ye Yu hated this unfair fate.
Why is it that she so easily obtained what they could not achieve even with their efforts?
She gently laid Jiang Yan down, checked his pulse, and after confirming that he was not dead, she took out a small crimson knife from her waist. Under her mental control, the knife rapidly expanded and stabbed Jiang Ruan before he could react.
"Go to hell, you show-offs, you deserve to die!" Ye Yu's scream was followed by a muffled groan that broke the silence.
"Jiang, Jiang Yan, you, how could you... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's all that woman's fault, I..."
