Zhuang Wan nodded in agreement and added:

"It's also possible that Lan Lingling's act of running off with someone else for Taoyang's house made him feel that his dignity as a man was insulted, and he was seeking revenge maliciously. Otherwise, he would have no way to vent his anger. This is how incompetent men seek dignity in women."

Su Tao waved her hand: "I won't say anymore. The more I listen, the more disgusted I feel. I'm actually related to such a person. Keep an eye on Wu Feichi's news recently. I also visit Lan Lingling often. After all, they are all our tenants."

The next morning, news came from the hospital that Lan Lingling had woken up.

Su Tao had to pick up Gu Mingchi's grandfather, so she could only ask Zhuang Wan to drive to the hospital to inquire about the situation.

The old man was in very good spirits. When he got out of the car, he didn't need the nurse to help him. He pushed the cane down by himself.

Seeing Taoyang's scene, the old man pushed his reading glasses and said something that shocked Su Tao:

"This nursing home is nice, why are there still young girls and boys living here?"

The nurse next to him lied with his eyes open: "These young people are here to look after their parents. Maybe you can make some old friends after a while."

The nurse took a box from the car and handed it to Su Tao:

"Boss Su, this is what Boss Gu asked me to pass on to you."

Su Tao knew that the crystal core was inside, and she couldn't hide her smile immediately:

"Okay, come with me, the room is ready."

The old man kept talking along the way. He said that he had been here before and had a villa here with more than ten people serving him at home.

After a while, he said that he had met Su Tao, and asked Su Tao how old she was, whether she knew his son-in-law, and whether she had seen his eldest grandson. He said that he had not seen his eldest grandson for many years, and that his grandson was unfilial and a little beast.

The nurse was not surprised and whispered to Su Tao:

"The old man thought it was still before the apocalypse. The Gu family was wealthy businessmen before the apocalypse. They all lived in villas with a great environment. When he saw Taoyang, he thought he was home again."

"He didn't know Boss Gu either. He always thought his grandson was away at school and refused to come back to see him, so he often scolded him in front of Boss Gu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Gu cursed again, "You bastard."

Su Tao grinned and laughed all the way.

When they arrived at the room, Mr. Gu was quite satisfied. The nurse seemed to be familiar with his habits and immediately moved a chair to the window.

The old man found a comfortable position to lie down, and actually began to sing leisurely:

"In that remote little village, that tiny little village, my dear mother has become gray-haired."

Sing it once and then again.

The caregivers take advantage of this time to greet the elderly upstairs and downstairs and give them some small gifts, telling them that the elderly at home will stop singing on time when it gets dark and will never disturb everyone's rest.

Even after Su Tao finished her work and had dinner, she could still hear the old man singing while standing downstairs.

Zhuang Wan, who rushed back from the hospital, also heard it and said worriedly:

"Isn't he thirsty? Won't his voice be hoarse? Oh, when we get old we really become like children. When my son was little and just learned to talk, he was just singing and babbling. Life is like a cycle."

Before seven o'clock, when night was about to fall, the singing stopped.

The tenants of Building 2 all breathed a sigh of relief.

Let him sing whatever he wants during the day, just don't sing at night.

Su Tao also received a call from Gu Mingchi.

"Boss Su, did you receive the crystal core?"

Su Tao had already asked Lin Fangzhi to put it away: "Got it, the old man should be asleep by now, he's adapting quite well."

There was a rare hint of smile in Gu Mingchi's voice:

"He probably thought he was home. Ever since he became ill, he's been thinking I kidnapped him and left him to suffer in the East End."

Su Tao asked: "Does that mean he doesn't recognize you at all and has always thought you were the thief who kidnapped him?"

"You could say that."

Su Tao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Aren't you sad? If my closest relatives not only don't recognize me but also hate me, I definitely won't be able to accept it."

Gu Mingchi said without hesitation:

"No, at least in his memory, the end of the world has never come. Suffering, bloodshed, and killing have nothing to do with him. I am satisfied."

Su Tao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

It can be considered another kind of happiness.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Zhuang Wan came to find her and told her about her visit to Lan Lingling during the day:

"When I got there, Lan Lingling was crying her heart out and was about to commit suicide. Several medical staff and police officers rescued her. After questioning her, they confirmed that Su Zhengqing had done it, along with a few strangers. Five people in total, they had taken her."

"She said that Wu Feichi was also kidnapped by Su Zhengqing and his gang and beaten for nearly an hour. He was most likely beaten to death and his body was dumped. Lan Lingling also asked me to tell you something. Su Zhengqing and his gang are extremely resentful and hostile towards Taoyang. They have threatened to burn Taoyang down. No one will have a good life in the apocalypse."

Su Tao's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out: "Come if you have the guts, but don't let me catch you, or I will let them know who is going to have an easy life."

Zhuang Wan also thought this was outrageous: "No matter what, let's be prepared. I'll ask Aunt Qi to pay more attention to the people coming and going."

That night, Su Tao bought 20 smoke alarms from the Defense Building Materials Store and installed one on each floor of the cafeteria.

Fortunately, Zhuang Wan had all the new tenants checked in that afternoon, which gave her an income of 280,000 federal dollars.

Excluding the money she spent on the alarm and the small savings she had made, she now had a total asset of three hundred thousand federal coins.

With money in hand, people became more generous and added two elevators to Building No. 1.

Building No. 1 already has 7 floors. If the elevator is not used, the tenants will be exhausted climbing the stairs.

After installing the elevator, she opened up five single rooms and six double rooms, ready to rent them out next month.

Su Tao planned to save the remaining 200,000 yuan. She couldn't spend it every time she had some money. She had to save money for upgrading.

Those who take the Leopard Road still have to pay for half a ton of fuel when they arrive in Shouan.

The fuel cost of the gas station is not high, but Lei Xing wants a lot. Half a ton will cost her 100,000 federal coins.

Another considerable expense

Before going to bed, Su Tao turned on the surveillance camera and took a look around. There were no suspicious people and no blind zombies.

She was still a little disappointed. If she had a few more blood sickles to shoot heads, she could have picked up a few more crystal cores.

I don’t know when the goal of ten crystal cores can be achieved.

At this time, Heizhima jumped onto her pillow, nestled beside her and looked at her.

Su Tao thought it wanted to share its perspective with her again, but the next second, a 3D map seemed to unfold in front of Su Tao's eyes.

It's her room!

Lying on the bed, she could not only "see" the water droplets on the bathroom sink, but also "see" the dust under the sofa in the living room, and even clearly "see" three cans of canned meat that White Sesame liked hidden under the bed.

No wonder she found a few cans missing when she fed the cat last time. It turned out that a thief had taken them under the bed.

This feeling was so wonderful, it seemed that as long as Hei Zhima had patrolled a place, she could "inspect" it repeatedly.

What kind of supernatural power is this?

Like a spy, enter the enemy's secret base and patrol it to get a precise map.
