In her previous life, Jiang Ruan finally defeated the final invaders with her supreme martial prowess and superpowers, preparing to ascend the supreme throne and lead humanity towards a new dawn.
"You know Qingfeng has a problem with you, right?"
"That's right, I don't know why this person is like this, I feel like he looks down on me!"
The gang leader leaned back on the seat in front of him, looking up as he spoke.
Jiang Ruan, her eyes fixed on the spot illuminated by the car headlights, continued, "Then tell me, if he knew that this car, so well-equipped, luxurious, and with such a large capacity, was found by you..."
Do you think his attitude towards you might change?
The gang leader immediately sat up straight, looked straight ahead, and said without thinking, "Then he'll definitely be bowing and scraping to me and admitting his mistakes."
He even felt a sense of satisfaction just thinking about it.
"Do you want this?" Jiang Ruan continued to coax.
"Of course, I dream about it!" The gang leader touched his shirt pocket, wanting to smoke a cigarette, but it was empty. He could only pinch himself to express his anger and excitement.
“Then your chance has come! Just say that you found the car and chased away the people there, and that it has nothing to do with me.” Jiang Ruan tried her best to distance herself from the situation.
The gang leader, however, kept thinking about it.
But he was a little incredulous, and after hesitating several times, he finally asked, "Are you sure you want to give them all to me? This is Presidential One!"
After Jiang Ruan nodded again, the gang leader couldn't help but grin from ear to ear, looking as happy as if he were wrapped in honey.
"Alright, alright, fine, fine. Since you trust me so much, then I won't stand on ceremony." The gang leader certainly wouldn't miss any opportunity to show off his power in front of Qingfeng, let alone tell him the truth in person.
After the two drove to the starting point, Gu An and Qingfeng quickly followed.
"Wow, this can't be real, right? Presidential One, where did you get this? This is amazing!" Qingfeng lived up to expectations and ran over in surprise.
"Hmph!" The gang leader slowly got out of the car, his arrogance evident in every strand of his hair.
He closed the car door, slowly placed his hand on the door handle, dangling one leg over the other, and calmly stared at Qingfeng with a smile.
He parted his thin lips slightly, uttering words that were undeniably infuriating: "I knew you couldn't be relied on. In crucial moments, you still have to depend on me. That's a testament to your methods and abilities."
He was speaking to Qingfeng. Gu An tried his best not to confront him directly; he was a little timid.
"You?" Qingfeng pointed at the gang leader, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, then burst into laughter, clearly not believing it.
"It's not that I look down on you, but with your guts, it's a miracle you became a mob boss. If you could find a car this nice, I'd have to change my name!"
Qingfeng scoffed at it.
"Fine, you don't believe me, but you have to believe Jiang Ruan, right? She saw it with her own eyes, how could it be false?" The gang leader looked at Qingfeng smugly.
He knew that Qingfeng would definitely believe Jiang Ruan.
"You say it, I believe you!" Qingfeng looked at Jiang Ruan, trying to see what was going on in her eyes.
Jiang Ruan nodded under his trusting gaze.
"It really is you, you..." Qingfeng was about to say a few more words when Gu An stopped him.
"The current situation is not suitable for further discussion. Let's go back and talk about it later."
Gu An looked at the sky; dark clouds had already pressed down, giving people an invisible pressure in the night sky.
“Let’s go. It’s really not a good time to stay here any longer. It’s important to leave as soon as possible,” Jiang Ruan said at the right moment.
Seeing this, Qingfeng stopped dwelling on acquiring the vehicle, but still looked at the gang leader with disbelief, trying to discern the truth from his face.
In the right rearview mirror, the gang leader saw Qingfeng's humiliated expression, which pleased him greatly. He even started singing, "This feeling is like the fragrance along the way and the gentle ripples on the water. Thinking about right and wrong, cause and effect, the fragrance along the way keeps me pondering... Yo yo yo baby go e on..."
He sang with increasing joy, while Qingfeng's face grew darker and darker.
Even after the navigation arrived at the mall, Qingfeng's complexion still hadn't recovered.
It wasn't that his sharp tongue had diminished; it was just that he felt that talking to someone mentally challenged sometimes damaged his image. So, as soon as he parked the car, he rushed out, opened the back door, and rang the doorbell.
The gang leader watched Qingfeng rush away and felt that he had the upper hand. He was very happy, and even his steps became lighter.
Standing in front of the mall, he was at a loss...
"Miss Jiang Ruan, are we here to shop? Why are we in a mall, especially such an out-of-the-way one? I bet there's nothing left." The gang leader pointed to the mall's logo and continued.
"Besides, look at how it's covered in green liquid, it looks disgusting. How about we go somewhere else? There are plenty of places in the city that haven't been overrun by zombies yet, and you might find what you're looking for there."
After saying that, the gang leader shook his hand dismissively and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands and mouth.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan looked up and saw that there was indeed green liquid. It seemed that the zombie had been there, been injured, and left.
"It's alright, Mingyue is here, don't worry!" Gu An walked behind Jiang Ruan and comforted her, knowing that she was worried about the safety of the people inside.
"Okay, let's go in!" Jiang Ruan took some things from the car and walked towards the door.
Gu An naturally followed.
Only the gang leader took two steps back and reached out to grab Jiang Ruan's sleeve to stop her, but Gu An pulled him away first.
"Hey, I really don't think this place will work!" The gang leader, still unwilling to give up, continued, clutching his hand after being hit.
"But this is my home. If I don't go, am I supposed to end up homeless?" Jiang Ruan gave him a strange look and walked away.
Just then, Wanmei opened the door.
"Ahhh, Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan is back! Everyone come out quickly, Jiang Ruan is back!"
Cheerful sounds filled every corner of the room, with doors opening and closing one after another as everyone rushed out, quickly filling the doorway.
Two minutes later, only Mingyue, who was waiting for Qingfeng and Gu An, was left at the door. The burly man seemed to have seen a lifeline. He first bowed to Gu An, then suddenly hugged Qingfeng and dragged her inside.
Two more minutes passed, and the gang leader was still bewildered in the wind, seemingly doubting everything that was happening before his eyes.
The distant howls of zombies rang out, finally snapping him out of his daze. He frantically knocked on the door and, mimicking Qingfeng, rang the doorbell, but no one answered.
He was like a forgotten, pitiful man, crouching by the tree at the door, shivering.
"Squeak!" The door finally opened, but he didn't recognize the person who came in. It was an extremely beautiful and lively girl.
"Ah Ruan said you should go back. She said there are plenty of supplies in the car, and the car is in good condition, enough for you to get back to your place. If you don't know where it is, you can use navigation. While the communication devices are still barely usable, hurry up and go. It will be troublesome if you are late."
The girl gazed at the dark sky, her meaning clear.
