844 Trumped Up Charges 5 (1/2)

Jun Wu Xie raised her head suddenly and stared right at Hua Yao who was at that moment still deep in thought.

”Brother Hua, have all of you finished your matches?”

Hua Yao nodded. Except for the unexpected incident at the first battle district today, all the other battle districts carried out all their matches and the winners from nine battles districts have been decided, with Hua Yao and the others, a total of five of them, gaining a spot among the top ten easily.

”How long more is it to the matches to determine the top ten rankings?” Jun Wu Xie asked next.

”Five more days.” Hua Yao said.

”Five days…..” Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes and immediately stood up. She walked over to the door of her cell and pulled out silver pin from under her hair. She reached her hands outside the cell and jiggled the pin around the lock's keyhole briefly.

A click sounded crisply and the cell door swung open.

Qiao Chu and the others stood outside the jail cell, their mouths hanging open as they stood marveled and shocked at Jun Wu Xie's lock picking skills.

”Little Xie….. When did you pick up such a skill?” Qiao Chu asked with a loud gulp. They had been all ready to smash the lock to open and Jun Wu Xie had so calmly opened the lock with just a tiny silver pin.

”I learnt it from a friend.” Jun Wu Xie said as she hid the pin back under her hair. She had picked up her lock picking skills from someone and it had been to allow her to come and go as she wished back at the organization. She had not thought that after being reborn in this world, she would be able to put it to such good use.

”That is just amazing!” Qiao Chu exhorted.

Jun Wu Xie did not think much of it and said: ”I'm not that skilled. If it had been her, it wouldn't have taken even three seconds…..” Jun Wu Xie's voice trailed off as she spoke. She wiped away the emotion welling up in her heart and walked out of the cell.

”I thought you were not intending to leave this place?” Rong Ruo asked teasingly of Jun Wu Xie.

”I'm not leaving.” Jun Wu Xie replied, suddenly confusing everybody. She turned to look at Hua Yao. ”Brother Hua, you stay here in my stead.”
