Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
Of course Su Tao didn't know that she was so unlucky to step on such a pile of dog shit.
When she returned to Taoyang, she saw the empty cat bed of Heizhima next to the sofa in the living room. She felt very uncomfortable, as if a piece of her heart had been dug out, and it was dug out by her own hands.
She couldn't help but think about whether the kitten could adapt to military life, whether it would run away and be captured and harmed by bad guys again, and what would happen if it didn't eat or sleep well.
Xue Dao walked over slowly and lay down at her feet, breathing heavily.
Su Tao squatted down and stroked it, and saw that a lot of white hair had grown on its body recently, and it was very rough, just like the white hair and wrinkled skin of an old person.
Su Tao couldn't hold it in any longer and sobbed silently while hugging the big dog.
Jiang Yu and Lin Fangzhi, who had just returned from get out of class, stood aside at a loss.
No matter how much comfort you offer, it seems pale and powerless at this moment.
When Su Tao woke up, she found that it was dark and there were dogs and cats on the bed.
When Bai Zhima saw that she woke up, her eyes widened and she called her in a coquettish voice.
Starving ghost.
Su Tao got up and gave it another meal. Seeing that it was eating happily, she couldn't help but touch its head:
"Silly girl, you don't even know your brother is missing, all you do is eat all day long."
But it's also good. Living a rich and stable life with her for the rest of my life is also a kind of happiness.
I don't know if Xiao Hei Dou suffered on the road. The weather is so hot.
Just as I was worrying, Shi Zijin suddenly called and asked in a serious tone:
"Lian Sha went to Taoyang? That's Lian Man. I found out she applied for admission to Taoyang, and you guys approved her. This person is risky. She's the old station manager, Tan."
Su Tao spoke first, "I know. She's Tan Yong's mistress. Her special ability is called 'Mi Yin'. She's very good at bewitching people."
When Shi Zijin heard this, he felt relieved and asked:
"Do you have any plans?"
Su Tao said, "She's just walking into a trap. She's done something to Fang Zhi, trying to sneak into Taoyang. I don't know what her purpose is, but since she wants to, I'm happy to capture her as a ready-made prisoner so that I can deal with Tan Yong more easily."
"Are you sure? Do you need my help?"
Su Tao said firmly: "I'm sure, there's no need. Just focus on the battle. It's a pity that you're doing two things at once, worrying about the frontline and paying attention to the movements of Dongyang Taoyang."
Shi Zijin was silent for two seconds and said:
"Lian Sha might be coming for me. She initially wanted to join the army and go on the expedition with us, but I thought that was amiss, so I rejected her. Later, she applied to join the army's logistics department, so I started to get suspicious. I just learned that she wanted to sneak into Taoyang. Just asking around, I know that I always go back to Taoyang to live after my missions are over. This basically confirms my suspicions."
Su Tao was puzzled: "She came for you? What for? To seduce you?"
"It's possible. I'm still investigating the details. Although you said you were confident, I still want to send someone to Taoyang just to be on the safe side. I hope you can accept this so I can feel more at ease on the front line."
"This guy isn't difficult to manage. You don't need to worry about him. He's born deaf and isn't affected by Lian Shami's voice. Furthermore, his ability is called 'Slow Motion'. When he uses this ability, any moving person or object within his field of vision will be slowed down, like a slow-motion video."
"With him here, it will be easier for you to capture Lian Sha alive."
Su Tao felt a warm current in her heart and said softly, "Okay."
"Well, go to bed early. I'll let you know when Black Sesame arrives tomorrow afternoon."
After this phone call, Su Tao's mood recovered a lot. After eating something, she went to the shooting range for training.
After practicing with her for a few days, Chen Yang's skills improved significantly, and he could hit six or seven out of ten shots.
After a round of practice, he looked at her with sparkling eyes and said:
"Sister Taozi, when I grow up and Brother Jiangyu retires, I will come to protect you. I will beat up the bad guys and I will kill them all."
Jiang Yu, who was observing secretly: "."
Su Tao couldn't help laughing and said jokingly:
"Don't you want to go out and explore the world with Lei Xing and the others? You have to stay in Taoyang to protect me."
Chen Yang was stunned by what he said, and his little face wrinkled instantly.
He wants to conquer the world and protect Sister Taozi at the same time. What should he do?
Jiang Yu snorted imperceptibly.
Su Tao rubbed Chen Yang's head vigorously twice:
"Don't worry about it, wait until you grow up first."
Chen Yang was really conflicted, as if he had faced a major decision in his life, and even the midnight snack didn't taste good anymore.
Seeing her son coming home looking as worried as an old man, Zhuang Wan asked sarcastically:
"What's wrong? Did you miss a single shot today? Are you feeling discouraged?"
Chen Yang's face turned red with anger: "Mom! Are you my real mother? Sister, please speak for me."
Chenxi buried his head in reading, completely ignoring his younger brother.
Uncle Zhong will come the day after tomorrow to check her homework, so she has to perform better.
My younger brother is not as important as my homework.
Chen Yang felt that he no longer had a place in this family.
He decided to temporarily protect Sister Taozi in his future life.
There is only good sister Taozi in the world, woo.
The next day, Su Tao received Qian Rongrong's financial report.
You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking to see that the public account has reached 3.22 million federal coins.
This was the surplus after she spent lavishly to build two luxurious office buildings.
It has reached half of the standard of lv6!
"So many?"
Qian Rongrong smiled brightly, "Yes, the bulk of the income comes mainly from renewal rents and the first month's rent for the 30 new homes this month, as well as the revenue from the plantation and Panliu Mountain."
"Especially the plantation. The net income in the first half of August increased by over 80,000 compared to the second half of July, and it's still rising. I've made a budget, and in the second half of August, we can generate 350,000 federal coins in just 15 days."
Su Tao immediately decided to raise the salaries of the plantation employees.
Qian Rongrong tightly held her financial report and reminded:
"Boss, please raise salaries appropriately and reasonably. Don't be impulsive."
Su Tao smiled and said, "Okay, housekeeper."
At this time, Zhuang Wan knocked on the door and came in with a serious tone:
"Boss, Liansha will be checking in this afternoon. Do we need to prepare anything in advance?"
Su Tao waved her hand: "No need, just come with me to pick someone up."
"Slow Release" is called Liang Ce, a chubby little guy with a big face who smiles at everyone he looks at.
Su Tao took the initiative to greet him, but Liang Ce gave her a gesture in return.
She was a little confused.
Zhuang Wan was also a little confused and asked tentatively, "Sign language?"
Lin Fangzhi, who had come along, suddenly said, "Yes."
So he took on the responsibility of communication, gestured to Liang Ce, and told him:
"Welcome to Taoyang. This is Boss Su, and this is Manager Zhuang."
Liang Ce smiled brightly and responded in sign language:
"You know sign language? That's great, very standard. Thank you for your hospitality."
Fang Zhi was responsible for the translation throughout the process and settled Liang Ce smoothly, making him feel at home.
"When did our Fang Zhi learn sign language?" Zhuang Wan was very surprised.
Su Tao also looked at him curiously, her eyes full of satisfaction that her son had grown up.
Fang Zhi's face flushed red: "Uncle Qin taught me this, I like it very much."
Su Tao understood.
Master Qin's wife is deaf-mute, and he knows sign language. He usually has the most contact with Fang Zhi, so it is normal for him to teach him some.
Zhuang Wan sighed:
"Fang Zhi has really grown up and helped us a lot. If it weren't for you this time, we would have neglected him."
Lin Fangzhi was praised and looked at Su Tao expectantly:
"Does this count as helping you?"
Su Tao smiled widely: "Okay!"
The afternoon sun shines on the boy's delicate face, as bright as flowers blooming all over the mountains.
"Goddess, now that you have gone to Taoyang, can we meet again?" Minister Chen Shaoyuan asked with eyes full of infatuation and reluctance.
After successfully passing Tao Yang's application, this guy was no longer of any use to Lian Sha, so she casually said:
"If we are destined to meet, we will meet."
Chen Shaoyuan felt empty inside, but he didn't dare to make any requests, for fear of angering the goddess and being disliked by her.
When they arrived at their destination, Chen Shaoyuan got out of the car attentively, went around to the back seat to open the door for her, and helped her out of the car: "Goddess, be careful."
Lian Sha hummed coldly, looked at the imposing Taoyang gate, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
