Chapter 248 Taking Sun Jing and her brother away
Before Zhou Yang could speak, Sun Peng, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, opened them and looked at Zhou Yang with a wary expression, his eyes full of vigilance, like a little lion covered in thorns, wary of being attacked.
When Sun Peng saw that it was Zhou Yang, he visibly relaxed and then stared at Zhou Yang with his big, bright eyes, looking rather cute.
As if sensing her brother's unusual behavior, Sun Jing also woke up quickly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Yang standing not far away and was startled. She subconsciously sat up, so much so that she did not notice that the height of the upper and lower bunks was not enough and bumped directly into the bottom of the upper bunk.
"Ow—"
"Are you alright?" Zhou Yang felt sorry for her when he saw how hard she bumped into something.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" After a while, Sun Jing waved her hand and said, "Brother Zhou, what brings you here today? Is something the matter?"
"I came to see you all and also to find you a new place to stay." Zhou Yang patted Sun Peng's head. "We should have found you a new place to stay earlier, but we were delayed because of too many things. Today we have some free time, so we're taking you to move."
Sun Jing was stunned when she heard this: "Huh? Moving? Where are we moving to?"
“There’s a four-and-a-half-story villa in our neighborhood that’s currently empty. Although the first floor was flooded, the floors above the second floor are still fine. You can stay on the upper floors. Anyway, Sister Li and the others should be arriving soon and will stay there temporarily. It would be good for you to go and clean the house.”
Sun Jing, who was about to refuse when she heard that she was going to stay in a villa, immediately shut up when she heard that Li Mei and the others would also stay there when they came.
"Should we leave now?"
Zhou Yang waved his hand: "No rush, let me ask you about someone first. There's a woman named Zhang Wan in this tent, you should have seen her, right?"
Sun Jing nodded: "I've met her. She's very popular here."
"Have you had any contact with her? Did you notice anything unusual? For example... secretly collecting high-level crystal cores to upgrade yourself?"
Sun Jing thought for a moment and shook her head: "She lives at the other end of the big tent, quite far away. We've only seen her a few times. But I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always felt like she didn't really like the two of us, so we usually avoided her. As for anything unusual, there doesn't seem to be anything. And as for collecting high-level crystal cores, an ordinary person like her wouldn't need to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Sun Jing seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped. Then she looked up and lowered her voice, saying, "Wait, something's not right. I think I accidentally bumped into her coming back with two level 3 crystal cores last time. When she saw me, she quickly hid them in her pocket and said she was just curious and borrowed them from someone to play with. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that you're asking me, I remember that her expression was a little unnatural."
Moreover, Zhang Wan seems to particularly enjoy interacting with men; many married men fawn over her, and surprisingly, their wives don't object at all, even speaking up for Zhang Wan. It's quite amazing.
After Sun Jing said that, Zhou Yang felt more at ease.
Zhang Wan is definitely someone with superpowers, but she has always hidden them very well. In order to avoid being discovered, she can only upgrade using crystal cores secretly.
However, this would limit Zhang Wan's ability to upgrade, and her level would likely be very low.
Psychic abilities are generally quite weak in the early stages. Even if someone is controlled, it is relatively easy to break free. Even if there are aftereffects, they are not that severe, and can usually be cured after a period of rest.
Unlike high-level psychic ability users, forced contact and control can easily damage the brain, and most of these injuries are permanent. Even with healing ability users, it is rare for them to fully recover.
It's mostly because of her low level of superpowers that Zhang Wan can only take advantage of women's natural advantages and men's lustful nature, targeting men specifically.
As for the wives of those men, none of them had any objections. Firstly, it might be because Zhang Wan's seduction skills were superb and not blatant. Secondly, it might be because her supernatural abilities had a bewitching and endearing quality, which allowed her to thrive in the situation.
"Okay, I have a general idea now." After making a rough analysis of Zhang Wan's superpower, Zhou Yang nodded and then looked at Sun Jing, "You two get up and pack your things now, and I'll take you to the new house in a bit."
"Okay, then Brother Zhou, wait for us for a moment."
Zhou Yang nodded: "No rush, you guys pack up first, I'll go wander around somewhere else and come back in a bit."
After giving instructions to Sun Jing and her brother, Zhou Yang took advantage of the fact that no one was up yet and went straight to the back of the large tent.
After passing through a long row of bunk beds, Zhou Yang finally found Zhang Wan lying on her side, facing the wall, in the corner.
Zhou Yang couldn't tell if she was really asleep, and didn't dare get too close, so he could only pull down the big yellow dog that was perched on his shoulder, and whispered the instructions:
"See that woman lying there? Go keep an eye on her and see what she does all day. I'll pick you up from that shop when the sun is almost setting. I'll have Xiao Hu remind you then, understand? Good luck, and when we get back, I'll reward you with a big bucket of spring water!"
Upon hearing this, Da Huang nodded quickly. Then, remembering that he was still invisible, he nuzzled Zhou Yang's chin with his head, made a soft "squeak," and jumped down.
Zhou Yang felt Da Huang's response and felt a weight lift from his shoulders. Da Huang's presence was no longer noticeable, clearly indicating that it had already taken up its post.
After settling Dahuang in, Zhou Yang quietly left, just as he had come, and returned to the bed where Sun Jing and her brother were.
By this time, the siblings had finished tidying up and were sitting on the edge of the bed, leaving only the bare bed frame on the single bed.
"All packed up? Let's go then."
Zhou Yang glanced at the two large bundles on the bed and immediately took them and put them into his spatial storage.
Don't be fooled by how bulging these two bundles look; they're actually filled with clothes and bedding for the extremely cold season, which is why they're so light.
After leaving the large tent, Zhou Yang didn't drive; instead, he led the siblings on foot back to their neighborhood.
It wasn't convenient inside, so on the way back, Zhou Yang asked Zhang Wan about her interactions with the others and whether she had spread any rumors about the Hidden Dragon Squad.
"I have indeed heard a lot of resentment towards you rich people, but I don't know if Zhang Wan spread them. However, judging from her attitude towards us, I guess she's not very friendly towards you either..."
Zhou Yang nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of Shen Zechuan's villa.
Zhou Yang took out the key and opened the door.
Since the two floods, the electronic lock on the first floor has become completely unusable, so now the door can only be opened with a key.
"Go upstairs and choose a room. I'll furnish your room with basic furniture. The kitchen on the first floor is soaked and unusable. I'll get you a simple set of cooking utensils on the second floor later, so you can cook something for yourselves when it's inconvenient for you to go out."
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhou, I'm so grateful for your help again!"
"You're welcome. After all, we received a level 5 guild leader and a lot of level 4 crystal cores from you. Let's go upstairs and take a look. There are still many places that need to be renovated after we've chosen our rooms."
When they left, not even the curtains were left.
Zhou Yang led the two upstairs, and the siblings eventually found a room facing north on the third floor to stay in.
After helping the two siblings with a simple cleaning, setting up basic furniture such as beds and wardrobes, installing curtains, and leaving a set of kitchen utensils on the second floor, Zhou Yang left.
