With Kerry Ye here, the project was progressing smoothly.
In the evening, Venus Mu and Kerry returned from the construction site, to the entrance of the community, then the two people went their separate ways.
Venus was hot and sweaty, and still had a lot of dust sticking to the construction site, so she thought she'd better go home and take a shower before going to the nearby supermarket to buy food.
As soon as she entered the neighborhood, she felt eyes staring at her from behind, and turned back sharply, but there was nothing.
She was a little afraid, quickly walked to the door of the apartment, pressed the code to enter before a little peace of mind.
Was someone following her?
Venus was confused, Yan Chu didn't know anyone in Sky City and didn't have any grudges against anyone, so what kind of person would notice her?
Taking a shower and going downstairs, Venus even paid special attention to the surroundings on the way to the supermarket, but she still didn't find anything special.
Could it be that she was too sensitive?
Casually buying a few dishes, Venus walked back, looking around as she walked, there was indeed no one around except for the strolling people, and the children playing.
Relieved to get into the elevator, to her own floor, Venus input the password, "tick-" the door opened.
A pair of large hands suddenly appeared behind her and tightly covered her mouth. Venus was shocked and was about to resist, a dagger was placed at her waist.
Venus stopped resisting immediately.
"Get in." The mugger behind her whispered.
Another man pulled the door open beside her, and the man who covered her mouth pushed her through the door.
Venus was shocked, two men?
There was another tick and the door was locked.
The man released her mouth, but the dagger was still there.
With a great gasp, Venus said, in a stoic tone, "Do you want money? I have it in my purse, please don't hurt me."
The other man snatched her purse away and dumped it instead, spilling her wallet, cell phone, small mirror, wipes, and various little bottles of makeup used by girls all over the floor.
The man, wearing a cap so that Venus couldn't see his face, picked up the wallet, which didn't have much cash in it, just over a thousand dollars.
"Only these?" He was disgruntled and said. He saw a bank card in the wallet, pulled it out and asked, "How much money is in there?"
"I don't know, and I haven't paid attention, but I'm guessing it could be about a hundred thousand dollars." Venus said truthfully, it wasn't her money anyway.
As soon as these two heard the amount, they looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
"Password."
Venus, who was hurting from the fall and struggling to get up from the ground, and she found the phone just a few feet away and hooked it with her toe when the man wasn't looking.
Damn! With too much force the phone slid into the doorway under the shoebox.
Venus wanted to curse herself.
Moving towards the shoe cabinet a little bit, the man immediately noticed her movement and pointed at her and yelled, "Who told you to move? Behave yourself."
Venus stopped.
The man rummaged through the room, finding nothing of value except for a dozen dollars of change on the couch.
"Shit, there's not even an ipad."
He cursed, going to the fridge and taking out a bottle of water to drink, then sitting in front of Venus.
He stared at Venus for a moment and said with a dark smile, "Rich people are different, living in such a nice and big house by themselves."
Venus huddled in the corner and begged him in a low voice, "I'll give you all the money, can you let me go?"
"Hahah" the man laughed, "Don't worry, we'll let you go when my friend comes back later."
Venus's face went white, knowing what he meant. She thought that begging was useless, so tried to threat him.
"Do you know Kerry? If you offend me, you offend him, don't you think about the consequences?"
