Chapter 394 Money is not a problem
The car slowly approached the school gate and Tom stopped steadily.
Jian Yue took a deep breath, said "thank you" to Tom, and prepared to get off the car.
Tom subconsciously reached out to help her unbuckle her seat belt.
However, Jian Yue raised her hand and quickly blocked his action with her hand.
"No, I can do it myself."
Tom's hand stopped in mid-air. He was stunned for a moment, then he showed a helpless smile.
"Okay! There's no need to be so defensive." He withdrew his hand, shrugged and smiled bitterly.
Jian Yue did not respond to Tom's words, but just opened the car door silently.
But I'm a married woman, so I still need to have a sense of boundaries.
As soon as I stepped out of the car door, I felt a lot of eyes around me focus on me.
Some students at the school gate were looking over here, their eyes full of curiosity and surprise.
Tom also got out of the car. "Be careful. If anything happens, remember to find me."
The sound is not loud, but it is particularly clear in this slightly quiet atmosphere.
The students around began to discuss in low voices.
"Isn't that Jian Yue? How did she get out of Tom's car?"
"Yeah, why are they together? Is there something going on?"
......
Although the discussions were not loud, they were clearly heard by Jian Yue.
I didn't expect that getting out of Tom's car would attract so much attention and speculation.
She tried to keep herself calm and nodded to Tom, "Okay, thank you, I will."
Then he turned and walked into the school.
The moment she turned around, she heard her classmates talking even louder behind her.
"Look, Jian Yue and Tom seem to know each other very well."
"Maybe they are in love, haha."
......
These teasing words made Jian Yue pause slightly.
But he quickly quickened his pace, not wanting to pay attention to these groundless speculations and discussions at this time.
After returning to the dormitory, Jian Yue finally released her emotions.
His eyes were wide open, his teeth were chattering, and his hands were clenched into fists, shaking slightly with extreme anger.
"Damn, you really think I'm easy to bully!"
His breathing was rapid and heavy, and his chest heaving violently.
Waves of anger hit her rationality, making her almost lose control.
"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death!"
She suddenly stopped walking, and without saying a word, she walked straight to the bathroom.
Turn on the faucet, hot water pours down like a torrent, and the rising mist instantly fills the entire bathroom.
Jian Yue stood under the shower, letting the scalding hot water wash over her body.
He scrubbed every inch of skin vigorously, his hands moving quickly and powerfully.
After taking a shower, he quickly changed into a set of black clothes.
He put on a hat neatly and pulled the brim very low, almost covering most of his face.
Today is the weekend and there are no classes, which is a perfect opportunity for Jian Yue.
Leave school without hesitation.
Walk into a small cafe, which is a place where local residents often come to relax.
I ordered a cup of coffee, sat in the corner, and listened quietly to the conversations of people around me.
Occasionally, she would hear a few words about guns and would seize the opportunity to ask the person about it.
Some people were wary of her unfamiliar face and were reluctant to say more.
But there were also some enthusiastic people who pointed her in some general directions where guns might be sold.
When she arrived at the hardware store, Jian Yue found that the store was filled with various tools and equipment.
The shop owner was a big, burly man who was sorting items on the shelves.
She asks again about the gun.
The shop owner frowned and said, "Guns? We don't sell that kind of stuff here. But I heard there's a shop on a corner at the edge of town that might have it. But, what do you, a little girl, need that stuff for? It's very dangerous."
"I really have no other choice. I need to protect myself. Can you tell me exactly where it is?"
The shop owner looked at her carefully for a long moment.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally pointed her in a general direction.
Jian Yue followed the direction indicated by the shop owner, crossing the streets and walking through the blocks.
The further we went, the more remote the area, and the more unfamiliar the surroundings became.
I'm still very nervous inside.
Finally, I saw the shop in an inconspicuous corner.
It was a seemingly ordinary yet mysterious shop located in an inconspicuous corner of the city.
The appearance of the store is a bit old, the paint on the walls is a bit mottled, and the sign at the door has become blurred due to the erosion of time.
Jian Yue took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then pushed the door and walked in.
The store was filled with a peculiar mixed smell of metal and machine oil. Various guns and ammunition were placed on the shelves, gleaming with a cold luster under the dim light.
A burly, bearded man stood behind the counter, his eyes sharp and alert.
When he saw Jian Yue coming in, he just raised his eyelids slightly and looked her up and down.
Jian Yue walked straight to the counter and calmly stated her purpose, "I want to buy a gun and bullets."
The man frowned slightly, "Do you have relevant documents?"
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, "I urgently need these to protect myself now."
The man was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something.
He looked at Jian Yue carefully again and finally nodded.
"Well, you don't look like a bad person. But this thing is not cheap."
Jian Yue responded without hesitation: "Money is not a problem, I just want to protect my own things."
As he spoke, he quickly took out a stack of US dollars that he had taken out earlier from his bag.
The man took the money and counted it. "You are a little girl, you have to be careful with this stuff. I can only give you two guns and two boxes of bullets at most. If you have more, the risk is too great. I can't sell it to you."
Although Jian Yue was a little disappointed, she also understood that this was the best result she could achieve at the moment.
"Ok, thank you."
The man turned and walked to a cabinet at the back of the store and took out two guns and two boxes of bullets.
He put the things on the counter and began to introduce Jian Yue to the basic usage and precautions of guns.
"The recoil of this gun isn't too strong, but you have to be careful with your posture when using it so as not to hurt yourself. The bullets must be stored well and not get wet."
Jian Yue listened carefully, her eyes fixed on the gun, feeling both nervous and excited.
These guns are different from the ones I picked up before.
"How do I activate this insurance? If I encounter an emergency, how should I respond quickly?"
The man answered her questions patiently.
After the transaction was completed, Jian Yue carefully placed the gun and bullets into the space under the cover of her bag.
He moved very cautiously, fearing that he would attract the attention of those around him.
Walking out of the store, I felt a little more confident.
After all, the two guns I collected on the island only had a limited amount of bullets.
