Chapter 74 Spoiled Girlfriend VS Obsessive Doomsday Boss 20

Since that day, Jiang Zhiyi has often gone out to play with Cheng Xuxu.

Because they were very close, Huo Linchuan and He Zhishan often ran into each other outside of missions, and their relationship improved somewhat.

Yuan Rong noticed this change in them.

She recently had an extremely important task, but she was worried about not being able to find a suitable partner to carry it out.

Sending only one person would be too risky. However, the two most powerful people in Rongcheng are Huo Linchuan and He Zhishan, who have always been at odds.

Given the current situation, the two of them are quite a good match now.

"This mission is very important. The two of you will work together and make sure you get your hands on the notebook."

"In addition, besides me, only the two of you know about this in the entire city of Rongcheng, so you must be very careful. You must not reveal the details to anyone. Just say that you are going to carry out a routine mission."

The notebook contains all the data from a series of experiments conducted by Dr. A of the Joint Base Hospital on people who had been infected with the zombie virus and had mutated or not.

This data is extremely valuable and can be used to develop a highly effective injectable drug to cure the zombie virus.

Because they needed a large number of test subjects, they were even willing to use healthy living people for experiments, and the experimental process was extremely cruel, so Dr. A always operated in secrecy.

If this becomes known to the public, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Initially, Zone C provided funds and live subjects for the experiments, but the experiments were repeatedly stalled, and Zone C lost patience and cut off the supplies.

In a fit of anger, Dr. A contacted Rongcheng directly. He also told Yuan Rong that the experiment was about to succeed and promised to give all the results to Rongcheng after the experiment was completed.

Yuan Rong agreed to his request, and from then on, Rongcheng secretly provided her with resources.

After this incident was exposed, Dr. A was intercepted and killed by people from Area C, and his notebook disappeared without a trace.

These days, District C has been sending people to search for the whereabouts of the notebook, and the same is true for Rongcheng.

Whoever gets the notebook first will be able to develop the ultra-efficient injectable drug first.

Even if the research and development does not go smoothly, this notebook can be used to accuse the other party of crimes, and is an important handle that can hold the other party by the throat.

Outside the office.

Yuan Rong's other deputy, Li Yang, happened to see the two of them coming out.

"What a coincidence, Chief Yuan wants to see you two?"

"Yes, there are tasks assigned."

"What kind of mission is this? It's so difficult that you two have to work together?"

"Just a routine mission. It's getting late, so we'll be going now. Goodbye."

Huo Linchuan and He Zhishan gave him a few perfunctory words and then left.

During this period of investigation, they discovered that Huo Linchuan's injury was deliberately arranged by Li Yang, who also framed He Zhishan.

Li Yang wanted to sit back and watch the two tigers fight, then reap the benefits.

Unfortunately, they never found any substantial evidence, so they were unable to deal with Li Yang.

Nowadays, neither of them wants to have too much to do with Li Yang and has always kept their distance.

Li Yang watched their departing figures, his resentment and indignation growing stronger.

Both were Yuan Rong's deputies, but He Zhishan had always been one step ahead of her.

After Huo Linchuan arrived, Yuan Rong completely ignored him, and his status was far lower than before.

Now that these two seem to have joined forces, he can't tolerate it any longer.

If he doesn't come up with a solution soon, he'll definitely be completely overwhelmed by the two of them.

...

Half a month later.

"Baby, are you alright?" Cheng Xuxu rushed over to visit Jiang Zhiyi as soon as he received the news.

This morning, Jiang Zhiyi was taking a walk outside when she was surrounded by a group of people who started hurling insults at her and even tried to hit her.

Fortunately, she had several bodyguards with her, and Huo Linchuan arrived shortly afterward, so she was not injured.

"I'm fine, I was just a little scared," Jiang Zhiyi shook her head.

"What on earth is going on? Have they all gone mad?" Cheng Xuxu asked her anxiously.

"Do you remember the milk I gave to the children in Rongcheng before? I was thinking it was about to expire, so I gave it to them to drink so it wouldn't go to waste."

"But the amount of milk I could deliver was limited, so many people didn't receive it, which caused quite a stir and everyone had complaints. So later, if I had anything that was about to expire, I would just throw it away."

"I don't know who saw me throwing things here, but they immediately spread the word and even added fuel to the fire, deliberately stirring things up everywhere."

"Now they insist that I'm wasting resources, and that ordinary people's lives are worthless, and that people with superpowers look down on ordinary people. Now they're all clamoring for the leader to kick me and Huo Linchuan out of Rongcheng."

"How could they do this? It's so mean," Cheng Xuxu comforted her.

"The main problem right now is the immense public pressure; I don't know how to handle this trouble."

Jiang Zhiyi was also a little troubled. Although Huo Linchuan told her not to worry and that he would find a way to solve the problem, she still felt a little uneasy.

“Honey, I might have a good idea.” Cheng Xuxu thought for a moment and then came up with a plan.

"What method?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.

“There is a resettlement area in Rongcheng where elderly people who are alone and destitute live. Rongcheng directly covers their daily expenses and provides them with supplies free of charge. Of course, many people also volunteer to go and help.”

“We can go there ourselves and cook a few big meals for them, and then bring some supplies to them to show our love and care.”

"Is this really a good idea? I feel like it's too obvious, and people will definitely criticize us." Jiang Zhiyi thought it was a bit unreliable.

"Regardless of our purpose, the important thing is that the people over there can get what we send and benefit from it. So even if they know our motives are impure, they will still stand up for us," Cheng Xuxu replied.

"This is a win-win solution, so why not do it? Everyone will be happy. Let's give it a try; it will definitely work. With those people on our side, we can definitely salvage our image and shut up those troublemakers."

Jiang Zhiyi nodded and agreed to the suggestion.

Three days later.

Resettlement area.

For the sake of "show effect," they simply set up all sorts of tools on a large open space, and even built the stove on the spot, preparing to cook with firewood.

To make the performance more convincing, Jiang Zhiyi and Cheng Xuxu were involved almost the entire time.

Jiang Zhiyi originally wanted to come by herself and Huo Linchuan, but Cheng Xuxu insisted on coming to help her, so she didn't refuse.

At first, the two of them were busy with tasks like chopping and washing vegetables to prepare ingredients, and later they also helped start a fire.

However, when it came to the actual cooking, they were completely helpless and had to let the professional chefs do it. They just stood by and helped out.

Huo Linchuan and He Zhishan, however, had disappeared without a trace.

"Honey, come quick, the fire over here is about to go out." Cheng Xuxu's face was covered in soot.

"Haha, Xuxu, you're so funny right now."

Jiang Zhiyi saw that her face looked like a cat's, covered in black streaks, which was quite comical.

"You dare laugh at me? Take this!"

Cheng Xuxu quickly smeared some soot on Jiang Zhiyi's face as well.

Both of them were covered in dirt.

"Why isn't this pot on fire yet? Quickly, a few people, find me something easy to start a fire."

Jiang Zhiyi gave instructions to the person next to her.

After a while, someone handed over some cardboard boxes, which contained some paper.

"Isn't this useless now?" Jiang Zhiyi sensed something was wrong.

"This is from Captain Huo's car. I've already asked, and it's no longer needed. You can just burn it," the man replied.

"Oh." Jiang Zhiyi didn't pay much attention and threw all those things into the fire.

After that, things took a turn for the better, and Yuan Rong even came forward to praise them that night.

Those who had been causing trouble quieted down considerably.

But soon, another thing happened in Chengdu—

Yuan Rong lost a document.

However, this matter was not publicized, and they simply searched for it in a very low-key manner.

Jiang Zhiyi saw the images of the messages that Huo Linchuan and his team had received internally.

Oh no, isn't this the stuff she burned that day?
