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...
Wu Zhen suddenly felt sad and ridiculous, and couldn't help asking:
"Ms. Jiang, I've always had a question. Why, when my family and I were in imminent danger, couldn't I get through to the Jiang family even after so many calls?"
Jiang Qingxiang choked and stammered:
"Back then, the Jiang family wasn't having an easy time either. Xiao Zhen, these last days aren't easy for anyone. You're fine now, aren't you? The past is the past. Considering the Jiang family's years of care for you, could you please help me find out if there are any supplies in Taoyang?"
"Don't worry, if this succeeds, you will be a great contributor to the Jiang family, and you will have both money and weapons."
Wu Zhen said, "I don't care about money or weapons. It's up to Miss Jiang to make the decision."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Jiang Qingxiang stared at the hung-up communicator in anger.
Her husband Ge Haibin asked anxiously, "What did you say?"
Jiang Qingxiang pouted:
"Nothing! I treated them well before, but now that the Jiang family is useless, he dares to give me a hard time!"
Ge Haibin frowned. "It's so hidden, is it fake news? Right now, everywhere is in chaos. Whoever has supplies should keep them for themselves. Who would sell them? Forget it, let's think of another way."
Jiang Qingxiang's eyes turned red when she heard this:
"What other options are there? Two months ago, we could have fought our way out, but now there's nothing to eat or drink. All the ornamental fish in the back garden have eaten up! There are so many guns in the warehouse, I can't even lift a single one. I don't even have the strength to run two steps!"
As he spoke, he started beating Ge Haibin:
"It's all because of you useless men! You're afraid of death!"
Ge Haibin still took out his anger on her by beating and scolding him.
Jiang Qingxiang was tired from making calls, so she wiped her tears and continued to make calls. She called everyone she could think of, and finally got some useful information from He Yanghua, a big tobacco merchant whom she had met once.
"Taoyang? Humph, she should have some strength, but they are run by a woman with bad character. She hooked up with a married man. Maybe Taoyang was supported by a man behind her."
Speaking of this, He Yanghua thought of his tearful daughter, feeling distressed and angry.
He only has this one daughter, and he was a little unhappy with Ji Caizhe, a fool.
But his daughter was determined to follow him, so he had no choice but to agree, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
A while ago, his daughter came to Dongyang and suddenly called him, saying that she wanted to break up with Ji Caizhe.
He was quite happy, thinking that his daughter had figured it out, so he drove to pick her up overnight.
But when they got there, the daughter changed her mind again and said that someone had deliberately seduced Ji Caizhe and set a trap for him in order to destroy their relationship.
The daughter cried so miserably and begged him to teach Su Tao a lesson, otherwise no one would dare to snatch her man away.
He Yanghua's heart was softened by her crying, and coupled with Ji Caizhe's flattery, he felt that his future son-in-law was timid and would definitely not dare to cheat. Someone must have set him up. He immediately became furious and promised to vent his anger for his daughter.
So they agreed to find an opportunity to kidnap Su Tao and hire someone to threaten her.
However, the woman rarely went out, and his men couldn't get in, so they had to ambush around Taoyang and wait for the woman to come out and then kidnap her.
Human life is at stake, Jiang Qingxiang is not interested in gossip.
But useful information was obtained from this sentence - that is, Taoyang might really have supplies.
He Yanghua is not an ordinary businessman.
He almost monopolized tobacco in the south, selling it to major bases across the country and making a fortune.
Tobacco is a luxury in the end times, and he also got to know many of the top leaders in the base through it, and he has a wide network of contacts.
From the fact that the major organizations' bases were hoarding food everywhere, but He Yanghua did not, it can be seen that he is not short of food supplies, and his strength is evident.
Jiang Qingxiang was a little excited. After hanging up the phone, she asked Ge Haibin to contact Taoyang to buy supplies.
Ge Haibin was reluctant: "Is it really reliable? What if it's a scam? We paid the money, but they didn't give us the supplies and ran away with the money?"
The ginger green fragrance is dead:
"People are struggling to survive, so why bother with money? If you can find another way, I won't say anything. If not, just listen to me!"
Ge Haibin had no choice but to ask someone to contact Taoyang.
Su Tao was quite surprised when she heard Zhuang Wan say Shouan wanted to buy supplies.
If she remembered correctly, the people who guarded the base were just like the name of the base, conservative and seeking temporary stability, and unlikely to be the first to try something new.
Zhuang Wan said, "Maybe he's at his wit's end."
Su Tao refused outright:
"I don't care. When Wu Zhen was desperate, the Jiang family didn't come out to help. Even if they just called and asked, Wu Zhen's wife wouldn't go to such extremes."
Zhuang Wan thought about it and became angry on Wu Zhen's behalf:
"Serves them right. I'm going to refuse them now."
When Ge Haibin received the rejection, he was dumbfounded.
I originally thought it was a scam, but before I even paid any money or discussed any conditions, I was coldly rejected.
Ge Haibin immediately felt that this might not be a liar, and Taoyang might really have supplies.
Jiang Qingxiang was also stunned: "Why refuse? No one should be buying their supplies now, right? We are the first to take care of the business, so why don't you sell it?"
Ge Haibin was silent for a moment and guessed, "Did he offend them? It looks like they are deliberately targeting him."
"How is that possible? We Shou'an had never heard of Taoyang before. How could we have offended them?"
Ge Haibin thought for a moment and said:
"Try calling Wu Zhen again and ask him in a nicer way."
Jiang Qingxiang rolled her eyes:
"No matter what I asked, he refused to answer my calls, and I didn't want to rush in and make things difficult for him."
"I asked him how he got to Taoyang, what he was doing there, how his wife and children were doing, and whether he could talk to the boss. I always felt that the problem might lie with him."
Jiang Qingxiang prepared herself mentally for a long time and called Wu Zhen.
But the call was hung up before it even got through.
When I called again, I found that I was directly blacklisted!
Jiang Qingxiang was so angry that he almost died, and cursed:
"He treated me like this? He used to be a gardener in my backyard. I kept him well fed and well paid. He and his wife were quite happy with him. But now he's like this?"
Seeing Wu Zhen's attitude, Ge Haibin shook his head and said:
"The problem lies with Wu Zhen. He must be resentful that we didn't care about his family back then."
Jiang Qingxiang became even angrier: "How ridiculous! He's just a little gardener and he expects us to go to great lengths to save his family of three?"
Ge Haibin thought so too. At that time, everywhere outside the city center was full of zombies. Saving one person would cost a lot of manpower and weapons, which was really not worth it.
They don't want to take the risk either.
Ge Haibin's mind turned to another direction, and he suddenly asked:
"You just said that He Yanghua had a conflict with Taoyang's boss and wanted to take revenge on her?"
Jiang Qingxiang nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter? I don't have the heart to care about such trivial matters."
An idea flashed through Ge Haibin's mind:
"I have an idea. I'll contact Manager Zhuang again."
