Did she realize that no matter what, he would never hand over that fifth-order earth-type crystal core, so she had decided to try another method?
But Jiang Xu usually treated Zhou Jinmo like he was precious. She would even clean up his messes for him. The way she was whipping and kicking him now was nothing like an act.
Besides, what did she mean by what she had said? Take the civil service exam? When has Zhou Jinmo ever taken a civil service exam?
“Jiang Xu.” Shen Jue spoke again, his voice filled with schadenfreude. “Looks like your sweetheart has been beaten half to death by you.”
She might simply be a crazy woman who acted whenever she felt like it. Even when it came to the man she liked, she showed no mercy.
It was not that Shen Jue cared about Zhou Jinmo. On the contrary, Zhou Jinmo often provoked Jiang Xu into tormenting them. Shen Jue would only feel satisfied if Zhou Jinmo were beaten to death. But what if Jiang Xu came to her senses and decided to make trouble for him again?
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jinmo’s eyes suddenly flew open. His eyes were filled with horror. He grabbed the vine whip and, the moment he saw Jiang Xu, blurted out, “Jiang Xu, you bitch! How dare you drag me downstairs? Do you know how much effort I put into finally making it through?”
Jiang Xu was startled.
This piece of trash, Zhou Jinmo, had transmigrated too.
Excellent. Now that Zhou Jinmo had left this world together with the original Jiang Xu, the two of them could stay bound together forever.
Shen Jue was also completely bewildered by Zhou Jinmo’s words.
What did he mean? Why could he not understand? Jiang Xu had dragged Zhou Jinmo downstairs, but Zhou Jinmo had “made it through”?
At the moment, Jiang Xu had no time to worry about Shen Jue. It was actually a good thing that Zhou Jinmo had transmigrated. Now she could take revenge without the slightest psychological burden.
Zhou Jinmo had not yet figured out what was going on. After cursing, he tried to get up from the floor, only to feel a piercing pain throughout his body the moment he moved.
Only then did he realize that his body was covered in wounds from the vine whip.
He glared at Jiang Xu. “You actually dared to hit me?”
The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Xu gave him a sinister smile and then suddenly kicked him hard in the chest with lightning speed.
Zhou Jinmo crashed heavily to the floor and almost coughed up blood.
Before he could say anything, Jiang Xu stepped on his chest and looked down at him.
“So what if I hit you? Do I need to pick a special day for it?”
After saying that, Jiang Xu opened the light-brain on her wrist and quickly called the police.
“Officer, a rapist broke into my house. Please come over and arrest him.”
There was zero tolerance for rapists here. Once arrested, they would undergo chemical castration depending on the severity of the crime.
Zhou Jinmo is finished!
After making the call under his shocked gaze, Jiang Xu’s eyes flashed with satisfaction.
“What rapist? Jiang Xu, what nonsense are you talking about?” Zhou Jinmo suddenly felt a wave of panic for no apparent reason.
Immediately afterward, a stream of memories surged into his mind.
He quickly understood what was happening. His eyes widened in disbelief.
In order to fully protect women’s safety, robotic sentries were stationed along every road at intervals of four to five hundred meters.
As long as a woman made an emergency call, the robot police could arrive quickly.
While Zhou Jinmo was still processing the rules and circumstances of the future world, the robot police who had received the call had already arrived at the gate.
Jiang Xu operated the light-brain to open the door and let three burly police officers inside.
Jiang Xu pointed at Zhou Jinmo and said to the police, “The rapist is right there.”
“Officer, that’s not what happened…” Zhou Jinmo shouted.
Jiang Xu immediately lashed him across the mouth with the vine whip, making him shut up.
The police promptly moved forward and restrained Zhou Jinmo.
The lead robot police officer gave Jiang Xu an especially lifelike, reassuring human smile.
“Ma’am, please tell us what happened.”
Jiang Xu said, “This Zhou Jinmo not only forcibly broke into my home, but also tried to assault me. My husband, Shen Jue, is currently at a critical stage of advancing from a third-order to a fourth-order earth-type ability. His energy is unstable, but he still tried to protect me. Zhou Jinmo grabbed him, tied him up, and beat him.”
The truth was that Zhou Jinmo had learned that Shen Jue had obtained a fifth-order earth-type crystal core. Since they both possessed earth-type abilities, he had come to Jiang Xu to demand it.
Shen Jue really was in a period of unstable energy. That was why he had been successfully ambushed and tied up by the original Jiang Xu and Zhou Jinmo.
The original Jiang Xu had forced him to hand over the crystal core. Shen Jue had nearly lost his life to obtain it after killing a mutated toad by fighting above his level. In the post-apocalyptic era, strength was crucial. Naturally, he did not want to hand it over, especially not to Zhou Jinmo.
The more Shen Jue refused, the harder the original Jiang Xu had beaten him, which was why he had ended up covered in wounds like this.
“You’re talking nonsense! Jiang Xu, what do you mean, your husband? I’m your boyfriend! How dare you cheat on me!”
Zhou Jinmo shouted furiously.
Clearly, he still had not accepted the fact that he had transmigrated and was still spouting nonsense.
Jiang Xu secretly sighed inwardly.
The original Jiang Xu really had something wrong with her head. She had five handsome husbands, yet she had somehow fallen for a man like Zhou Jinmo.
Then again, she and the original Jiang Xu were not much different. She had supported Zhou Jinmo for three years, so she clearly had not been thinking straight either.
The robot police officer frowned in an extremely human-like manner before placing a mechanical arm on Zhou Jinmo’s shoulder.
An electric current immediately surged through Zhou Jinmo, making him tremble uncontrollably.
He finally shut up.
“Ma’am, please continue,” the police officer said to Jiang Xu, its attitude completely different from before.
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow at Zhou Jinmo, who was dazed from the electric shock, and continued.
“If I hadn’t gotten lucky, he would have succeeded.”
“Now he has beaten my husband this badly and caused me severe psychological trauma. I demand that he be punished according to the law and compensate me with eight million.”
Eight million sounded like a huge amount, but inflation in this era was severe. Measured by the prices in Jiang Xu’s era, eight million was worth no more than eight hundred thousand.
Not to mention that Zhou Jinmo had asked the original Jiang Xu for money from time to time, and the total had already exceeded six million.
Making him pay eight million was hardly unfair.
Hearing this, Zhou Jinmo’s eyes widened like copper bells.
Wasn’t she better off just robbing him?
Jiang Xu ignored him and turned to help Shen Jue untie the ropes.
Before her hand could touch him, she clearly noticed that his expression had stiffened and his face was filled with resistance.
Seeing this, Jiang Xu deliberately leaned close to his ear and asked softly, “What? Have you gotten addicted to being tied up? Want to keep playing SM?”
“You” Shen Jue’s face turned bright red from her words. He had no idea what had gotten into this woman.
Without giving him a chance to object, Jiang Xu quickly untied the ropes around his body.
Seeing that he did not want her touching him, she tactfully stepped back a little.
But in Zhou Jinmo’s eyes, her actions looked like she was cheating on him right in front of his face.
Zhou Jinmo’s eyes turned red with fury, almost as if flames were about to shoot from them.
Shameless!
Jiang Xu had actually cheated on him right in front of him. This was outrageous!
“Officer, you can take a look at the injuries on my husband’s body. He is hurt physically, but it pains me to see him suffer. Zhou Jinmo is simply insane.”
As Jiang Xu spoke, she put on the performance of a lifetime.
She squeezed out two tears and looked at Shen Jue, who was staring at her in stunned silence.
“Ah Jue, I’m sorry. I’ve made you suffer. It’s all because I failed to see what kind of person Zhou Jinmo really was. I treated him as a friend, but he tried to steal my home. From now on, I absolutely won’t have anything to do with him again. I won’t let him hurt you ever again.”
“You must be in pain, right? Let me blow on it for you.”
