Chapter 196: Chapter 142: Win Back the Food (Three in One)_3

Jian Tiantian next door... is Huo Miao’s room!

"No, it’s not in my room!" Huo Miao immediately shook her head, her expression fearful as she repeatedly denied, "I fainted from crying this morning, and I’ve been sleeping upstairs all along. The noise you heard was Brother Mingxuan carrying me back to my room! I wasn’t involved with them, I was sleeping when they were moving the grain, I had no idea about this at all! How could it possibly be in my place!"

"A look will tell us," Jiang Ning said with a light chuckle, walking toward the staircase.

Qi Xingzhou followed closely behind, and Nong Chun and the others were also very concerned about the whereabouts of the grain, hurrying to catch up.

Huo Miao bit her lip, her face looking like she was about to cry.

After watching Jiang Ning and the others go upstairs, she then stretched out her hand to tug on Mu Mingxuan’s sleeve and spoke in a low voice, "Brother Mingxuan, what should we do?"

The grain was indeed in her room, visible as soon as the door was opened.

Mu Mingxuan frowned, lowering his voice, "Is the door locked?"

"It’s locked, and the key was taken out," Huo Miao said, looking down, and immediately took out a key from her pocket.

Yuan Wei walked over enduring the pain all over his body, his expression frosty, "Even if she asks you to go up later, don’t ever give her the key!"

Easy for him to say, but if she didn’t give Jiang Ning the key and Jiang Ning hit her, what was she to do.

Huo Miao silently clenched her teeth, hating Jiang Ning to the extreme.

[Heh, screenshot taken. The internet has a memory. Your shameless and selfish demeanor now can be remembered by the internet for a lifetime!]

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou had arrived in front of Huo Miao’s room door.

Jiang Ning tried turning the doorknob and found it wouldn’t budge, clearly locked when Huo Miao had left.

Upon seeing this, Jian Tiantian said, "Huo Miao and Ling Bo... they haven’t followed us."

Wang Ye shook his head and sighed, "They plan to shamelessly stick it out to the end. They’re just gripping onto the fact that we don’t have the key to the room to get in."

Nong Chun clenched his fists in anger, "At first, they all appeared more noble and elegant than anyone else, but in the end, each turned out to be more shameless than the last."

Jiang Ning stared at the door lock for a while and said, "Who says we can’t get in."

It was just a solid wood door after all.

She turned around, "Everyone step aside."

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, everyone instinctively moved aside.

Watching Jiang Ning’s actions, Wang Ye suddenly realized something, "...are you going to kick down the door?"

[6 ah! Truly worthy of being Jiang Ning!]

[Hahaha kicking down the door directly, is that really ok?]

[...um, yet another method I hadn’t thought of, learned something new!]

[Not bad, not bad, since Huo Miao isn’t going to hand over the key anyway, might as well kick the door! Saves us from having to look at their despicable faces.]

Jiang Ning nodded.

Earlier, when Jian Tiantian didn’t speak up, Jiang Ning actually had the idea of kicking down Mu Mingxuan and their room door. The attic wasn’t big, besides the kitchen and living room, as well as a utility room, all other rooms were assigned to the guests for living.

In such a small place, where else could Mu Mingxuan and the others have put the grain other than locking it in their own rooms? It was just that Jian Tiantian’s words gave Jiang Ning a more precise target for kicking the door.

Qi Xingzhou, who had obediently stepped aside earlier, saw Jiang Ning nod and, belatedly realizing something, suddenly stepped forward to stop Jiang Ning and said solemnly, "Ning Ning, your foot will hurt, let me do it."

Upon hearing Qi Xingzhou’s words, Nong Chun also hastily said, "Yes, yes, yes, leave this kind of task to us."

He wasn’t able to help much in the earlier fight, so kicking down a door which didn’t require much skill, he was up for it!

Nong Chun rolled up his sleeves, ready to unleash his strength.

Seeing their eagerness, Jiang Ning let them participate and stepped aside, "Alright, you do it."

She had looked earlier; although it was a solid wood door, which was relatively hard to break through, it was just a matter of kicking it a few more times.

"Bang!"

A sudden noise startled everyone downstairs, including Huo Miao.

Huo Miao, her face a picture of shock, couldn’t help but glance toward the staircase.

Jiang Ning should have discovered that the door was locked by now, so why hadn’t she come to ask her for the key?

Just as Huo Miao was feeling uneasy:

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

One after another, the sounds kept coming from upstairs.

"No good! They’re kicking the door!" Yuan Wei suddenly changed his expression and strode towards the upstairs!

Mu Mingxuan and the others were also startled by Yuan Wei’s words and ran upstairs one by one.

Seeing Qi Xingzhou and Nong Chun taking turns kicking the door, Yuan Wei’s eyes were nearly splitting with fury, and he instinctively moved forward to stop them, "What are you doing!"

"What do you think," Jiang Ning blocked Yuan Wei with her arms crossed.

Yuan Wei, somewhat wary of Jiang Ning, could only stand still.

Ling Bo and Lin Qi followed and stood beside Yuan Wei, eyeing Jiang Ning with hostility. The atmosphere became tense in an instant.

Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan, bringing up the rear, saw Qi Xingzhou and Nong Chun kicking her room’s door. Huo Miao yelled out in shock and anger, "Jiang Ning, what are you trying to do! What right do you have to kick my door? Stop, stop now!"

Jiang Ning stood in front of the group, her piercing and clear gaze passing over Yuan Wei and the others to settle on Huo Miao, "Stop? Then hand over the key."

Biting her lip, Huo Miao turned her head and avoided Jiang Ning’s gaze, evasively saying, "You have no right to kick my door."

Jiang Ning had anticipated this reaction and also loathed Huo Miao’s selfish nature. Jiang Ning said coldly, "This is the show’s room. When the show’s staff arrive, I will pay triple the market price in compensation. If you don’t hand over the key, then keep quiet. If you babble on, I’ll come over and slap you!"

Huo Miao turned pale and immediately dared not speak.

Yuan Wei and the others didn’t dare to intervene either, after all, they were still sore!

What on earth did Jiang Ning eat to grow up! How could her strength be so freakish!

Finally, after Qi Xingzhou and Nong Chun had kicked for more than a dozen times, the sturdy solid wood door was finally forced open by the two of them!

As soon as the door opened, Qi Xingzhou immediately retracted his foot and walked towards Jiang Ning, showing no interest in the contents of the room.

Nong Chun, on the other hand, peered into the room first, then exclaimed with delight, "Sister Jiang, all the food is inside!"

Jian Tiantian said joyfully, "Move it, move it!"

Huo Miao turned pale, watching helplessly as Nong Chun, Wang Ye, and the others moved the food out of her room.

Watching her food stock being depleted was more painful for her than death itself!

Huo Miao lowered her head, raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, feeling angry and heartbroken but also harboring a deep hatred for Jiang Ning!

She couldn’t understand why Jiang Ning, with her formidable strength, couldn’t find her own food instead of stealing theirs.

With her abilities, Jiang Ning could easily sustain the other four on her own if she wanted to.

She was clearly intent on driving her and Mu Mingxuan to desperation!

Yuan Wei and the others stood aside, their expressions far from calm.

But with Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou standing there as a deterrent, they had just experienced how tough they were and knew that they were no match for them. They didn’t dare to act rashly now, and even with all the resentment in their hearts, they could only suppress it and stand still.

In this battle over food, they had lost thoroughly.

[Come on, play ’Good Luck’ for Brother!]
