"Can you make a phone call for me? Someone will come to pick me up."
"oh--"
Not only did they not offer themselves in return, but they didn't even offer any compensation.
...
"Hey, oh, Qi Xie is with me. He said he'd call you guys to come pick him up."
The address is...
good."
Feng Ran hung up the phone and looked at Qi Xie.
"The person said they'd be there in twenty minutes. Just wait."
"Thanks."
A thank you without any emotion.
Oh well, I'll just go all the way and be a good Samaritan. Who told me to glance at him a couple more times...?
Hehe, consider it payment.
Twenty minutes later, a luxury car arrived. Quite extravagant.
Two burly men, like bodyguards, got out of the car. There was also a middle-aged, refined-looking man, like a butler.
He walked up to her and said, "Hello. We're here to pick up Young Master Qi."
"Oh, it's on the sofa in the living room."
"Very well, to express our gratitude to you, Miss, our master sent you a gift." He then had someone bring the gift down.
It was just a simple bag of rice, two cans of oil, and some gift boxes. Feng Ran glanced at them and thought they looked like health supplements.
"this……"
"My master said that times are not good these days, and asked me to send you something practical. So I took the liberty of sending you grain."
"Thanks."
"No need. We'll take the young master away immediately. We won't bother you again. For your safety, it's best not to tell anyone that you've met Young Master Qi."
"What did you say? I don't even know who Young Master Qi is, how could I possibly say anything about him to outsiders?"
"grateful."
After hearing Feng Ran's words, the man smiled kindly and directed the people to carry the person away.
Good heavens. The person whose body was moved didn't even glance at her, their savior, from beginning to end.
...
In the days that followed, the woman and her dog lived quite comfortably. If it weren't for the dog's barking waking her up one night, she wouldn't have known that the electric fence on the wall had been sabotaged.
It's a long gash. It looks like it was pulled outwards by an external force. The wall is even cracked.
By the time I got dressed and went out to check, the person had already run away.
"Alright, Jinbao, stop calling. They're gone."
I checked the time; it was 5 a.m.
There's no need to sleep anymore.
I have plenty of time when I get up early, so I cook myself a pot of porridge. I eat moon-shaped steamed buns and plain porridge for breakfast.
It wasn't until 8 a.m. that Feng Ran went out to take a closer look at the exterior wall.
The crack isn't big. It doesn't need fixing. If the power grid is broken, so be it. She doesn't plan to fix it either.
Since someone is causing trouble, I really need to be on guard these next few days.
There's arson, murder, and looting everywhere outside. Even if I move, I don't know where I can live safely.
I continued working in the space this morning. I had fast food for lunch.
I spent the afternoon watching TV shows, playing on my phone, and then going to sleep.
My daily life is both joyful and boring.
That night, Feng Ran didn't sleep. She didn't turn on the lights either; she just stayed on the third floor playing on her phone.
Around 1 a.m., sure enough, there were voices outside.
How many people are in Jixiang in total?
"Two men."
"Okay, thank you."
"Jinbao, don't shout," Feng Ran said, stroking Jinbao's head. Then she ran to the second-floor window, took out her crossbow, and aimed it at the figure outside.
As soon as someone shows their face!
She fired directly.
...
"Hey Lao Zhang, are you sure there's only one woman living inside? There aren't any others, are there?" the short man asked again in a low voice, trying to confirm.
"Definitely. I've been observing for a long time. We'll go in tonight...hehehe...it was so hard to get the electric fence off the wall last night. If we don't do it tonight, it'll be a waste of time to repair the wall later."
"Okay. You go in first."
"Okay! But when it comes to dividing the spoils, I want a lot. And that woman too."
"That won't do!"
"Why not! I was the one who scouted the location, and now I'm being let go first. What? You're getting all the benefits?"
"Okay! I'll go in first!" the man said, thinking to himself that if he went in first, he could hide any good stuff first.
The first man jumped into the courtyard, but Feng Ran didn't move.
Feng Ran only fired his crossbow after the second man's feet touched the ground.
"call out--"
"Phew! Old Zhang, someone's here!"
"Nonsense, inside... Ah!"
"call out--"
"Old man!...Damn it...Ah!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Feng Ran quickly released three arrows, and a man fell to the ground and lay motionless on the spot.
"Old Li! Ah..."
"Whoosh—"
The man was probably shot. It was hard to tell in the dark. But he wasn't dead. He was even trying to climb the wall and run away.
Feng Ran fired another arrow, then, frightened, ran off in other directions in the courtyard.
"Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof..."
With a howl, Jinbao dashed out. By the time Feng Ran chased after him, the dog had already opened the door and pounced on him in the yard.
"Jinbao! Come back quickly!"
The dog didn't move. But the man was bitten quite badly.
"Ah! Help me! Help me quickly... Ah! Um—"
About two minutes later, the dog let go of the man and walked back to sit next to Feng Ran.
Dogs these days are no longer puppies.
He has a majestic and imposing figure.
Feng Ran took out his pistol and slowly walked over. The person was already dead, his flesh torn to shreds.
Now Feng Ran had time to return to the spot where the first man had fallen.
He kicked him a few times with no effect, and then an arrow pierced his chest. He died.
"Crisis averted! Jinbao, you're amazing! You protected Mommy!"
