Chapter 253: The Whole Family Is Dead
【System 009: Congratulations on completing LV3 Mission: Crack; Reward obtained: Earthworm Dictionary, 100 points, 1,000,000 cash. 】
As soon as Jiang Yuan woke up, she heard the good news. She stretched lazily and began her happy and beautiful day.
After breakfast, she went to the yard to record a video for the dogs, planning to post it online to encourage adoption instead of buying pets.
After finishing the video and playing with her furry children for a while, Jiang Yuan returned to the living room and saw a message from Xiao Xu in the group chat.
Du Junyuan had many videos of his own crimes saved on his computer. The evidence was sufficient, and he had already been criminally detained.
Jiang Yuan slightly raised her eyebrows. No wonder she had just received a mission completion notification.
That day, I thought it was about cracking Xie Yuchen’s family password, but it turned out to be cracking the truth of his death.
Jiang Yuan lay lazily on the sofa, scrolling through her phone. As she scrolled, she suddenly remembered something important.
Duo Duo, who ran away from home!
Yesterday, when she went to Hengtai Huafu, she left Duo Duo at the pet shop downstairs.
She almost forgot about it.
Jiang Yuan hurriedly went upstairs to change her clothes and drove out to pick Duo Duo up.
Blueberry felt like the sky was falling the moment it saw Jiang Yuan holding a cat in her arms.
Why was there another cat? There were already enough cats competing for favor at home!
Duo Duo also didn’t expect Jiang Yuan’s home to have so many small animals, and one looked exactly like it!
Duo Duo was very excited, its pair of cat eyes widened round and scary bright.
As Jiang Yuan introduced Duo Duo, Blueberry was so angry it couldn’t listen. It turned and rushed into its little den, showing an attitude of refusal to communicate with the outside world.
Jiang Yuan looked over from a distance, finding it both funny and helpless.
This guy is really jealous.
After introducing Duo Duo and everyone else to each other, Jiang Yuan took the cat treats to find Blueberry.
Glancing at Jiang Yuan’s figure, the sulking Blueberry moved its body, showing its backside to her.
This scene naturally did not escape Jiang Yuan’s eyes. She chuckled with annoyance, “Blueberry, are you planning to ignore me from now on?”
Blueberry did not make a sound.
Jiang Yuan said, “Fine, if you ignore me, then I’ll ignore you too.”
After saying that, she got up and made a move as if to leave.
Blueberry turned its head. Seeing that she was really leaving, it quickly extended its little paws to paw at her ankle, “Yuan Yuan, how can you be like this? You’re not even going to coax me!”
“I was going to coax you,” Jiang Yuan pressed her lips together, revealing a wronged expression. “But you showed me your butt, how sad I was!”
“It wasn’t intentional!” Blueberry was even more wronged. “It’s because you made me angry!”
Jiang Yuan asked helplessly, “Are you angry because I brought a cat home?”
Blueberry’s nose twitched, and it meowed with teary eyes, “Before, I was the only cat at home, and now there are so many competing for favor.”
“Are you a little dummy?” Jiang Yuan raised her hand and ruffled its fluffy head, saying gently, “Isn’t it better to have a livelier home? Think about it, you have many little friends to play with every day. And aren’t you the boss? You should be the representative to welcome new members, why did you run away in a huff?”
Hearing this, Blueberry thought about it carefully and realized it was true.
Although there were many cats competing for favor at home now, it would never be lonely again.
“Blueberry, you are the first kitten I raised,” Jiang Yuan smiled. “How could I bear to make you angry?”
Blueberry thought that the first kitten must be the most special one to Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan brought so many small animals home because she was afraid I would be bored and wanted them to keep me company.
Its pair of sky-blue cat pupils grew brighter and brighter. “Yuan Yuan, I understand. I won’t be angry anymore when you bring small animals home in the future!”
“Really?” Jiang Yuan slightly raised her eyebrow.
“Really!” Blueberry nodded solemnly. “I will definitely be a good role model and a good boss from now on!”
Jiang Yuan’s lips curved slightly, and the smile in her eyes deepened. “That’s great, I knew you were a good baby.”
Blueberry said joyfully, “Then I’ll go say hello to Duo Duo now!”
“Okay,” Jiang Yuan petted its head again. “Go ahead.”
Blueberry walked towards Duo Duo with light cat steps, meowing, “Hello Duo Duo, I’m Blueberry, the first cat in this family…”
Jiang Yuan watched for a while and, seeing that the two cats were getting along well, finally felt relieved.
However, Duo Duo might not stay here forever; Zi You Pai Pai might take it away.
Thinking of Zi You Pai Pai, Jiang Yuan’s slender eyebrows slowly furrowed.
She picked up her phone and edited a message to Si Heng: 【 Didn’t you arrange for someone to observe Zi You Pai Pai yesterday? What’s the situation now? 】
On the other side, at Fuze Garden.
Cao Laoting sat under a big tree cracking sunflower seeds, her eyes staring intently at the balcony on the third floor of Building Six.
She spat out sunflower seed shells and thought, What’s going on? Why haven’t the Jiang family been seen around lately? Have they all died off?
Just then, two strangers dressed expensively, who clearly didn’t come from ordinary families, caught her attention.
“You’re looking for…” Cao Laoting curiously examined the two people and stood up, wanting to go over and strike up a conversation. Unexpectedly, the other party walked towards Building Six without glancing at her.
“Tsk.” She spat out a sunflower seed shell and muttered with dissatisfaction, “Looking down on people with dog eyes!”
After speaking, she saw the figures of the two people from the stairwell window on the third floor.
“Looking for the Jiang family?” Cao Laoting was surprised, a hint of jealousy rising in her heart.
Why do rich people always come looking for them?
A moment later, the two people came downstairs. Cao Laoting approached them with a smiling face and asked, “Are you looking for the Jiang family?”
Meng Zhengliang sized her up, his brow furrowed.
Shen Airu looked at Cao Laoting, and a flicker of disdain crossed her eyes before she revealed a polite smile. “What is your relationship with the Jiang family?”
“I’m a good neighbor and a good friend to the Jiang family,” Cao Laoting said. “Are you looking for their house?”
“Yes.” Shen Airu didn’t want to make another trip to this slum. After hesitating for a moment, she smiled and said, “What is your surname?”
Cao Laoting’s face was full of smiles. “My surname is Cao. I should be older than you, so you can call me Sister Cao.”
Little Sparrow Mary stood on the branch, looking at Cao Laoting’s fawning expression with utter disdain in her eyes.
Annoying old hag!
Shen Airu’s attitude was light. “Ms. Cao, could you please contact someone from the Jiang family?”
“Is there something you need the Jiang family for?” Cao Laoting was inconsiderate and had no sense of boundaries.
Shen Airu replied, “It’s a private matter.”
Cao Laoting rolled her eyes inwardly and said with a tearful face, “It’s just too unfortunate. The Jiang family had a car accident a few days ago, and the whole family died.”
Shen Airu and Meng Zhengliang’s expressions changed drastically. The couple exchanged a look, unsure how to react for a moment.
“D-dead?” Shen Airu clenched her bag tightly and asked in disbelief, “Is this true?”
Cao Laoting cracked sunflower seeds and said, “Of course it’s true. What benefit would I get from lying to you?”
