Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Using Special Ability Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Using Special Ability Time flew by, and another week had passed. Luo Qiao thought about the two submissions she had sent and still hadn’t received any replies. Could it be that they were not interested? If she were to wait a few more days without a reply, she’d have to think of another strategy.
In the coming days, she would have to make another trip to the city and find someone to arrange the house according to her liking beforehand. That way, she wouldn’t be in a rush when school started.
That evening, after dinner, Lu Yichen and Stone left, and a sneaky figure avoided Lu Yi’s house, taking the path that led to Luo Qiao’s courtyard.
After scrutinizing the perimeter for a long time without finding an appropriate entry point and circling the house, they thought that it might be easier to get in from the men youth volunteers’ side. Unfortunately, while the ideal is beautiful, reality is skeletal.
No one lived on the men youth volunteers’ side, and parts of the outside wall had collapsed, but the courtyard where Luo Qiao lived had been completely refurbished. Gao Rusen had managed to climb over the wall from the men youth volunteers’ side with great difficulty.
However, he couldn’t climb over the wall between the male and female youth volunteers. Hoping to find another way through the courtyard, he failed to watch his step and stumbled over the firewood the youth volunteers had left in the corner of the wall.
Luo Qiao had been dealing with something in the kitchen. Just as she came out and was about to head back to her room to sleep, she heard the noise.
Acting as if she hadn’t heard anything, she turned around, entered her room, blew out the light, and lay on the kang bed, listening for any noises outside. After a while, she heard someone jump into the courtyard.
Peering through the crack in the door, she saw to her surprise that the intruder was Gao Shunyi’s youngest son, Gao Rusen. She sneered to herself, “You’ve brought this upon yourself; don’t blame me for not being courteous.”
She quietly unlocked the door and retrieved the sleeping drug she’d prepared earlier from a space, intending to venture into the deep mountains to look for valuable items, considering her improved ability.
She hadn’t expected to use it now. As soon as Rusen pushed the door open, Luo Qiao scattered the drug towards him, held her breath, and entered the space, waiting for the commotion to subside.
She then heard Rusen, who had come inside, say, “Wife, I’ve arrived.”
But it wasn’t long before she heard a thud. Knowing that her plan had worked, Luo Qiao plucked a tomato from the space, ate it, and put on her work gloves before stepping out of the space.
She kicked Gao Rusen hard, hearing the crisp sound of bones breaking, then dragged him into the space. She went out to the courtyard to remove any traces where he had landed.
Afterward, she opened the door that led to the youth volunteers’ compound, grabbed a flashlight, and removed signs of his passage, activating her special ability to clean up the entire area. She returned to her own yard, not forgetting to clean the middle door as well.
Once everything was taken care of, she left through her own courtyard door and walked up the mountainside. She dumped the man by a pool, whether he lived or died was now his fate.
When Luo Qiao returned, she saw a flashlight moving along the path below the slope. She had an idea, and instead of heading towards her home, she approached the light.
Picking up several stones from the ground, she hid and waited until the person came closer. She then hurled the stones. The path was narrow and steep, which caused Li Xiulan’s screams to echo through half the village.
Seeing that Li Xiulan had taken a bad fall, Luo Qiao quietly left, secured the courtyard gate, and went home to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Luo Qiao was awoken by a commotion outside. She stepped out of her room to hear someone knocking at the courtyard gate.
Yawing, Luo Qiao opened the main gate to see the Party Secretary standing outside with others. She frowned and asked, “Secretary, what brings you here so early in the morning?”
