In the apocalypse, my weapons can evolve infinitely.

Upon stepping outside, Jiang Xun immediately spotted the woman.

Now that she was out, she could go back and rest.

But she showed no intention of leaving.

In fact, Yang Xiaoai hesitated for a long time before knocking on the door; she could have persisted indefinitely.

However, she was also afraid that her behavior would be seen as disobeying orders on the spot.

So she could only muster up the courage to knock on the door and wait for instructions from the other party. If the other party had not rested well, she could continue to keep watch.

After pushing open the door, Jiang Xun's expression was not the same one of joy he had just shown upon seeing the weapon upgrade.

Instead, I felt irritable and depressed.

He muttered to himself as he walked.

"Why has the difficulty of the mission suddenly increased so much?"

Yang Xiaoai couldn't hear what the other person was whispering, but she knew in her heart that the other person must not be very happy at the moment.

After all, her years of domestic violence experience had long since enabled her to roughly guess what the other person was thinking from some subtle facial expressions.

So she said cautiously:

"Um... Mr. Jiang, are you unhappy? I can continue to keep watch, I'm fine."

Looking at the cautious woman opposite him, Jiang Xun waved his hand dismissively.

"No need, I've already rested enough."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the living room door and looked out through the peephole. It was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.

Even the flashlight he had thrown out earlier was now completely dark, devoid of any light.

He wouldn't go out of his way to find out what's going on outside.

If nothing happens as it is now, that would be the best-case scenario.

Back inside, Jiang Xun plopped down on the sofa.

"Since you're not too sleepy, let's chat for a bit. By the way, what's your name?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xun's question, Yang Xiaoai visibly trembled.

However, she didn't hesitate or be coy; instead, she directly revealed everything she had prepared beforehand.

"Mr. Jiang... my name is Yang Xiaoai. I am from Shangfeng Village, Heshi. I have a father, a mother, two older sisters, a younger sister, and a younger brother. I have no ill intentions towards you, sir."

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, I can do housework, I can wash clothes, I can sew clothes, I can do a lot of housework. In the future, Mr. Jiang can leave anything to me."

"I...I eat very little, just a tiny bit of food each day."

Yang Xiaoai rambled on to Jiang Xun, telling him everything about herself.

Jiang Xun neither interrupted nor questioned the other person. He simply sat there, tapping his index finger lightly on the sofa, listening quietly until the other person finished speaking, albeit haltingly.

He finally spoke:

There's something I really want to know, and I hope you can tell me.

"Previously, when your husband, mother-in-law, and I were confronting each other...did you close the bedroom door to cut off their escape route?"

Jiang Xun's words threw Yang Xiaoai, who had finally managed to calm down, into a panic again.

He saw it? He knows he did it? Then... how will he see himself?

Jiang Xun wasn't sure what the other woman was thinking. What he wanted to know was her current attitude. If he was mistaken, and the woman before him was actually harboring thoughts of enduring humiliation for revenge, then...

So he will leave after tonight.

After all, even with the system's support, Jiang Xun wouldn't dare to easily try living with someone who's always thinking about revenge.

Yang Xiaoai was constantly struggling internally, pondering the possibilities surrounding Jiang Xun's situation.

Finally, she nodded, her voice trembling, and said:

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, I did it."

Yang Xiaoai pondered for a long time before finally deciding to tell the truth, even though she knew the other person might resent her for stabbing her in the back.

But she still felt she should tell the truth.

As expected, Jiang Xun did not show any disgust or aversion on her face after admitting it.

Instead, it seemed as if they had let go of some worries in their hearts.

"That's good. I won't press you for the specific reasons, since everyone has secrets."

"By the way, how did you know my surname is Jiang?"

Hearing Jiang Xun's words, Yang Xiaoai's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Oh, it's like this. Before, Tang Guoliang and Zhao Baozhu had a conversation at home. They said you were a bad person, that you were... a mistress, that you seduced an innocent woman, and that you were discovered by her husband."

"They even said you were a bad person who got arrested by the police, and told me to stay away from you whenever I see you."

After hearing Yang Xiaoai's words, Jiang Xun felt like he was about to die of speech.

I am clearly the victim, I am clearly the one who has been wronged, but I never expected that I would be slandered and smeared by them here.

At this moment, the lingering resentment in Jiang Xun's heart caused by the murder completely vanished.

"So... after listening to them, do you still dare to associate with me? Aren't you afraid I really am a bad person?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xun's words, Yang Xiaoai, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Xun with serious eyes.

"No, I'm not afraid of Mr. Jiang. They are the bad guys, their whole family is bad. Mr. Jiang is not bad. Mr. Jiang is..."

"hero."

She spoke the last two words very softly, and even though the two were only 3 meters apart, Jiang Xun still couldn't hear what she said.

However, he did hear what was said earlier clearly.

He smiled, shook his head, and then said to Yang Xiaoai:

"Alright, I have nothing more to ask. It's late, you should go and get some rest. I'll keep watch for the rest of the night."

Upon hearing Jiang Xun's words, Yang Xiao'ai's gaze instinctively drifted towards the master bedroom where Jiang Xun had been sleeping.

A faint blush crept across her pale, bloodless face as she seemed to be lost in thought.

Jiang Xun, however, did not notice the change in the other person's expression beneath his long hair, and continued talking to himself.

"I'll use the master bedroom for now, and you can choose one of the two secondary bedrooms as your own. After you choose, I'll be careful not to go into that room easily."

Upon hearing Jiang Xun's words, the blush on Yang Xiaoai's face quickly faded; she knew she had been overthinking things.

So, of the remaining two bedrooms, Yang Xiaoai hesitated for a moment and then chose the one that had previously been used as a storage room.

She could naturally choose the spare bedroom that Tang Guoliang and Zhao Baozhu had slept in before, but she harbored intense hatred for her former in-laws.

Therefore, even if the other person is no longer there, she will not easily choose to stay at their place.

After returning to the storage room, Yang Xiaoai gently closed the door, cleared a small, clean space, and lay down directly.

Great, finally free from those three demons! She'll never be beaten again, and she can finally have a place where she can sleep peacefully...

This is all so wonderful.

Mr. Jiang, thank you so much. I will definitely treat you even better in the future and repay you even more.

I am very useful, I can do many things, I...

Yang Xiaoai was exhausted. Her exhaustion was not only physical, but also mental.

Amidst these chaotic thoughts, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

At this moment, Jiang Xun, who was sitting in the living room, no longer focused his attention on Yang Xiaoai.

He brought up the system and carefully examined the newly refreshed tasks.
