Mu Jiuyue suppressed the urge to throw the other person over her shoulder and turned around. It was her neighbor, the one who loved gossip and stirring up trouble.

"It's Auntie!" Mu Jiuyue immediately smiled. "Long time no see!"

"It's been a while since I've seen you. Where have you been? Why haven't you come home? You didn't secretly sign the agreement, did you?" the old woman said. "I heard that someone else has secretly signed the agreement recently. It's really despicable! We were about to persuade the demolition company to raise the price, but because of people like this, we've worked so hard for nothing."

"How could I? How could I do such a thing?" Mu Jiuyue denied it outright: "The restaurant where I used to work closed down, so I'm unemployed now. I'm looking for work everywhere!"

"Oh, I see!" The woman was relieved and said, "Let me tell you, those developers are ruthless! They say they've encountered a ghost! The storage room was securely locked, the lock wasn't broken, but everything inside vanished! It's really eerie! The property management is investigating!"

"Such a thing actually happened? That's really eerie." Mu Jiuyue, the perpetrator herself, widened her eyes, feigning innocent fear: "They must have done too many bad things, that's why they were possessed!"

"That's right!" the older woman immediately chimed in. "By the way, aren't you going home to visit your family?"

"I'll go back now," Mu Jiuyue replied with a forced smile. "I was just about to go back and take a look."

Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I might as well go back and take a look.

Mu Jiuyue immediately followed the older woman back to the Happiness Community.

Looking at the familiar empty house, I casually tossed out a bed, a chair, and a table.

Because of poverty, this house has never had air conditioning installed.

So all she could do was take out a bunch of ice cubes and blow them with a fan.

It really works; it cooled me down in no time.

Mu Jiuyue took a shower and was just about to go to sleep when she heard a terrified scream coming from the building next door: "Who are you? Get out of my way! Ah—"

Mu Jiuyue pulled the summer quilt over herself and lay down, completely unmoved.

This is just the beginning; take your time to get used to it.

In the building across the street.

"That girl surnamed Mu is back! Should we make a move?"

"She's back? Great! We're just one short. Once she's asleep, we'll sneak over without firing a shot."

"Hehehehe." Several people laughed together in a smirk.

At this moment, Mu Jiuyue was unaware that she had become someone's target, and that they planned to kidnap her that night and use her as a gift.

It was the dead of night, 1:30 a.m.

Mu Jiuyue, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and glanced indifferently at the door.

It's already good enough that she didn't pick on anyone else, but someone actually did pick on her. Did they really think she was a pushover, someone who would dare to squeeze any Tom, Dick, or Harry?

Several people were crouching down, using a master key to unlock the door.

As the door was being opened, the lock clicked open.

"Old Cat, you're much faster than last time..." As soon as he finished speaking, a cold weapon was pressed against his forehead.

The men instinctively looked up and saw Mu Jiuyue yawning, standing inside the door, holding a wooden gun in her hand.

Those men didn't believe it was genuine; they just thought Mu Jiuyue was using someone else's power to intimidate them.

After all, according to the information they gathered, Mu Jiuyue was just an ordinary girl who was tall and pretty, but had nothing special about her.

Moreover, he was an orphan with no relatives or friends, and if he disappeared, no one would notice.

That's why they targeted Mu Jiuyue.

"It's so late at night, disturbing my sleep. Let's finish this quickly!" Mu Jiuyue said impatiently.

"Little sister, that toy gun isn't good for scaring people. We have real ones, you can play with them all." The old cat who unlocked the lock rubbed his hands together in a sly manner towards Mu Jiuyue.

"Old Cat, keep an eye on your meat. This is something the higher-ups want; there can't be any mistakes. Once you get the money, there'll be plenty of other things for you to do outside," someone reminded him.

The old cat replied impatiently, "I know."

"Hurry up and grab her!" The others were about to grab Mu Jiuyue.

Puff puff.

A silencer was installed, so although it wasn't completely silent, it didn't seem to disturb the neighbors much on this night.

Mu Jiuyue hates talking nonsense the most.

Some people can chatter on and on with strangers for half a day, then break a leg or an arm without much real harm, and then hurl a few harsh words.

It felt like performing a set of Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and then raising your little fist to punch the other person in the chest.

It's incredibly frustrating.

Why bother?

We're not lacking weapons or capabilities, so let's just go for it.

Mu Jiuyue opened the gun quickly, and she grabbed the corpse and threw it back into her space even faster, trying not to spill blood on the floor.

Order is still in place.

It's not time to take drastic action yet.

After doing all this, Mu Jiuyue carefully checked the doorway to make sure there were no traces left before closing the door and continuing to sleep soundly.

The next day, as soon as it got light, the temperature rose rapidly.

The ice basins in the room had almost all melted.

Mu Jiuyue sighed.

In the sweltering heat, she no longer wanted to go out.

Just as I was about to return to the shelter, I received an address and access code on my phone.

Um, this.

Immediately after, Wei Lie called: "Mu Jiuyue, this batch of supplies is very important. Could you please help me receive it? As usual, 10% of the supplies will be a storage fee. You can deduct it directly from the price."

Mu Jiuyue: "Okay."

Turn the car around and drive toward the coordinates sent by Wei Lie.

By the time we arrived at our destination, we were already drenched in sweat.

Mu Jiuyue wrapped herself up completely to avoid being exposed to the sunlight.

At that time, people were unaware that from this day forward, sunlight would relentlessly assault the body's defenses.

The more sun you get, the faster you die.

This is a very quiet villa.

Using the password sent by Wei Lie, they opened the gate and entered the villa. What they saw was a huge pile of various bottled and barrelled water containers.

These things may not be worth much money right now.

A month later, it will be priceless.

"You really know how to do business." Mu Jiuyue chuckled and reached out to collect the water that filled the entire villa.

After collecting the water, I went to the basement.

The basement is filled with countless freezers and refrigerators of all sizes.

The freezer and refrigerator are filled with seafood shipped from all over the world.

There are those from the North and South Poles, those from Hokkaido, and those from Australia.

Each freezer has a label indicating the country of origin, making it very easy to identify.

These are all good things that Mu Jiuyue can't afford or can't buy.

Mu Jiuyue waved her hand, storing everything into her spatial storage, and turned to leave without any hesitation.

When they reached the mountain stream, they threw the corpses down into it.

I reckon those guys will be on the missing persons list for life. This godforsaken place, you can't even find a ghost here.
