Mama Jiao seemed better today, at least her spirits were up.
However, after hearing last night’s events, she was determined to drag her injured self home if not for Papa Jiao doing all he could to stop her. There was no point in keeping last night a secret. Even if Auntie Ling didn’t tell her about it all, last night caused so much of a commotion that the faculty and family in the hospital would have heard about it.
Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi remained silent after answering a few of her questions. Qu Xiangyang did most of the talking. He gave a vivid recount of last night’s story.
"Since the previous thefts, residents on the first and second floor had been taking precautions. Us living on the higher floors felt safer, but now it seemed that those people used this mentality. They target people living on higher floors specifically because they feel less at risk.”
