Chen Jiakai knew, as he said this, that they wouldn't be leaving for the next half month.
It was fine if they couldn't leave, whose fault was it but his girlfriend's?
As the ones who made mistakes, they had no right to complain.
The only thing they had to do now was to make amends for their wrongdoings. Seeing Jiang Zhimin still sobbing, Chen Jiakai coaxed her gently, "Stop crying, we're here to get ingredients to make food for Miaomiao and Yunlong. We can't keep them waiting too long. You know Miaomiao's condition, she's lost a lot of blood and urgently needs energy replenishment."
After glancing around the supermarket environment, Chen Jiakai said, "Go get some fruits, vegetables, and meat. Be good."
Jiang Zhimin wiped away her tears, nodded obediently, and then fetched the items as Chen Jiakai requested.
After they got the ingredients they wanted, they returned the way they came. What they didn't know was that someone emerged from behind the shelves after they left.
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Chen Youzhuo's gaze brazenly fixed on Jiang Zhimin's long, fair legs beneath her shorts. He spat a glob of phlegm onto the ground and said, "Go back and tell big brother, there are people upstairs, they touched our stuff."
Li Yunlong and the others were on the third floor, where high-end luxury goods were sold.
Various daily necessities were mainly concentrated on the first and second floors.
The two of them had come to get supplies, descending from the third floor to the first and second to pick.
Their luck was bad, as they happened to arrive when Chen Youzhuo and a few of his brothers were also loitering around.
For Chen Youzhuo and his group, who were lacking women, Jiang Zhimin, with her long legs, fair skin, and not bad looks, was clearly a target.
Chen Jiakai walked behind Jiang Zhimin. He had been feeling as if someone was watching him from behind, a dangerous gaze.
At first, he thought it was his imagination, but then he realized someone was indeed staring at him.
Thinking about what had happened upstairs, Chen Jiakai stopped. He turned his head to look behind him.
As he turned, Chen Youzhuo and a few brothers were just leaving, so their backs directly entered Chen Jiakai's sight.
Having come from the military, Chen Jiakai could tell at a glance that Chen Youzhuo and his group were not to be trifled with.
He swallowed, then turned back indifferently. He looked at his girlfriend walking ahead, completely unaware of the approaching danger, and at her fair, straight legs beneath her shorts.
Undeniably, it was a beautiful sight, but it was also lethally dangerous.
Thinking this, Chen Jiakai quickened his pace to catch up with his girlfriend, walking alongside her, and then said, "When we get back, change into a pair of long pants and put on a jacket."
Jiang Zhimin, holding a pile of items and still crying, looked up at her boyfriend when she heard this, confused. "What is it?"
Because she had been crying, her voice was thick with sobs.
She looked so much like a wronged little kitten that he wanted to pull her into his arms and ravage her.
But now was not the time, so he had to suppress it.
"I just saw a few people, they seemed to be targeting us. Our situation isn't safe." Chen Jiakai surveyed Jiang Zhimin and said conscientiously, "You look great like this, but it's also very dangerous."
Jiang Zhimin was not a naive fool. She had experienced the wickedness of human nature on television, in movies, and in real life.
With her boyfriend's reminder, she instantly understood his meaning. "Then let's hurry back. While we're organizing the food, we can tell Miaomiao and Yunlong about this. We should discuss it and come up with a concrete plan so we won't panic if something really happens."
With this previous experience, Jiang Zhimin was now calmer and less flustered when faced with trouble.
Chen Jiakai nodded, "Let's go."
Halfway back, Chen Jiakai glanced behind him, squinting slightly.
The other side had more people. The four of them, plus one injured person, definitely couldn't go head-to-head.
It seemed they would need to rally the survivors upstairs to have a chance of winning!
