Chapter 14 Deterrence
Jiang Xun pulled Jiang Mi behind him and stared at the middle-aged man with cold eyes, "What do you want to do?"

The middle-aged man got up from the ground while swearing. His greasy hair was messy and stuck to his forehead. He stared at Jiang Xun with squinted eyes, "You are the one who eats alone, right?! Why don't you take out some extra food if you have it?" ! This family is so selfish. They don’t see how difficult everyone is going through right now. Do you know that several people have died in the building?!"

Jiang Xun looked at him indifferently, and keenly grasped the key point in his words, "Who did you hear that my family has extra food?"

"Who in this building doesn't know?" The middle-aged man shook his head proudly and glanced at the people gradually surrounding him.

Those who can afford a house in Moon Bay are those with small assets. In order to meet the requirements of quality life, they either hire a live-in nanny or buy fresh vegetables every day, and rarely hoard too much food at home.

Before the disaster struck, all of them were dressed brightly and looked like dogs, but now they all looked miserable and looked haggard like refugees. When they heard that 2603 residents had stored a lot of food at home, their eyes almost glowed green.

"That's right, we all know that you have so much food at home, what's wrong with taking it out and sharing it with everyone?"

"Yes, we are all neighbors. Can you bear to see us starve to death?"

"Young man, do you have any conscience? The country has trained you to have no sense of public morality..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get the food out quickly!"

The more everyone said to each other, the more they felt that they were justified, and the noise became louder and louder.

Jiang Mi stood up from behind Jiang Xun, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally landed on the few people furtively lowering their heads at the edge, with a sneer on his face.

It really doesn’t stop.

She no longer listened to these people's nonsense. She quickly took out a gun from her waist and pointed the black muzzle directly at the middle-aged man who was leading the trouble. "You answer whatever I ask. If you keep talking nonsense, I will shoot you."

Suddenly, the noisy corridor fell silent for a moment. The middle-aged man was startled by her, and his plump body trembled twice. He swallowed and said fiercely: "Damn it, scare me with a toy gun... "

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the lamp at the top of the corridor was shattered, and scattered glass shards fell on everyone, causing many people to scream.

Jiang Mi slowly turned the gun pointed at the corridor light towards the middle-aged man, tilted his head and smiled slightly, "It's not a toy gun. If you pull the trigger again, you will die."

The middle-aged man's face turned pale now, his greasy face was covered with cold sweat, and his legs began to tremble, "You... you... you hide a firearm privately, you... you are breaking the law!"

He stuttered out this sentence, but the other people around him didn't dare to say anything. They all could see that the little girl in front of them was not easy to deal with, and she might actually be able to shoot.

In this peaceful era, no one does not have a deep respect for guns.

"Then you call the police and arrest me." Jiang Mi smiled, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold, "Let me ask you one last time, who spread the news that my family has food!"

She has the answer in her heart, but more people need to know the truth of some things.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to talk any more, and he didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat from his eyes. He could only blink hard, his whole face twisted with fear, "I... I don't know... I heard..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd, "It's her! I heard what she said!"

"I heard what she said too!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's her!" In a flurry of words, someone shouted, let me go, let me go, while being pushed to the door by everyone.

Even though she lowered her head and covered it with her hands, Jiang Mi still recognized her at a glance.

"She was the one who told us that your family has a lot of food. She saw with her own eyes that your family bought a lot of food before the natural disaster! Let us come to your family to ask for it!"

"I didn't! It wasn't me! You admitted your mistake! You are talking nonsense!" The woman denied it, but Jiang Mi smiled and reached out to knock on the door, making a dull sound to stop everyone from making noise.

When everyone calmed down, Jiang Mi said with a smile, "Isn't this aunt?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone started to look weird, and their eyes looking at Jiang Lichun also became weird.

"Why, didn't my cousin take good care of you, my fiancé, who fought so hard to snatch her away? Why are you still spreading rumors about my family?"

She dropped another depth charge, and everyone looked at Jiang Lichun with wide eyes.

"You're talking nonsense! Your cousin wants to help you with good intentions, you..." Jiang Lichun gritted her teeth and tried to argue angrily.

Jiang Mi's expression changed, and he looked at her coldly, "I don't want anyone to bother me and my family anymore. If I hear you talking nonsense outside again, I will tear you alive!"

As she said that, she leaned slightly closer to Jiang Lichun, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Auntie, don't say that I didn't warn you as a junior. If you mess with me again, I don't mind letting the news out. Just use your words." A pound of meat for a pound of grain, or use your daughter’s.”

After speaking, he chuckled and looked at Jiang Lichun's pale face and frightened eyes. Jiang Mi smiled with satisfaction, waved the gun hand to everyone, and said sweetly and playfully: "Then, that's it for today. I wish everyone is safe. "

After saying that, she closed the door. This time no one stopped her, they all watched her close the door.

The middle-aged man who took the lead in making trouble finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then became furious. He slapped Jiang Lichun and cursed: "Damn you bitch, you dare to lie to me! I'll beat you to death!"

While cursing, he grabbed Jiang Lichun's hair and dragged her away. The others just watched indifferently and no one stepped forward to stop her.

Jiang Lichun treated everyone as gunmen and asked them to confront 2603 who had a gun in his hand. If they didn't go up and kick him, they already had some moral bottom line, so it was impossible to stop him.

Jiang Lichun's miserable howl gradually disappeared. Inside the room, Jiang Mi had put away her gun. Opposite her sat Jiang's father and mother.

Mother Jiang looked a little dazed, shivering for a long time before asking lightly: "You... do you really have a gun?"

"Mom, let me tell you, it's time to let you know the truth." Jiang Xun adjusted his glasses and looked calm.

"The truth?" Mother Jiang looked complicated.

Half an hour later, Father Jiang held the confused Mother Jiang and softly comforted her. Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Jiang Mi looked at her watch. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the tsunami had completely subsided. Looking from the window of her house, there were no buildings in her field of vision except for the endless water.

After all, the water level has now risen to nearly 60 meters, and everything below this height has been submerged.
