Su Wan walked into the storage room.
The metal door behind her automatically closed slowly after she entered, isolating her from the outside world.
The basement is huge, filled with boxes and shelves of all kinds.
Rice, noodles, oil, canned food, bottled water, the variety and quantity are amazing.
There were even a few boxes of military supplies stacked in the corner.
Su Wan didn't think any more and took action immediately.
She walked to the nearest shelf, and as her mind wandered, the boxes in front of her disappeared one after another.
A mountain of supplies quickly piled up on the empty ground in the space.
While collecting the money, she kept an eye on what was happening outside.
Aunt Zhang and the housekeeper will find out soon.
We must seize the time.
When she emptied most of the shelves and came to the military supply box in the corner, her hands touched the cold metal.
What's in these boxes?
She put one of the boxes into the space.
Consciousness entered the space and touched the box.
The box opens automatically.
Several brand new automatic rifles and a large amount of ammunition were neatly arranged inside.
There were also several military daggers.
Su Wan's eyes lit up.
firearms!
This is more important than food and water.
With these, her chances of survival in the apocalypse will be greatly increased.
She didn't waste any time and immediately put the remaining boxes of military supplies into the space.
Then, she took another quick look in the basement and collected some tools, medicines, etc. that looked useful.
By the time she was done, the basement was mostly empty.
Her space is filled to the brim.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard at the entrance to the basement.
"Miss!"
The butler's voice was filled with a barely perceptible hint of anxiety and suppressed anger.
They are coming.
Su Wan was not panicked.
She had gotten the most important thing.
She quickly exited the basement, the metal door closing behind her with a dull thud.
Su Wan turned around and was faced with two ugly faces.
Butler Lin Zhongqiang was suppressing something, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly.
Aunt Zhang shrank half a step behind him, twisting her apron with her fingers and lowering her head even lower.
Lin Zhong took a step forward and blocked Su Wan's way.
"Miss, what are you doing in there?"
His questions were filled with the authority that came from long-term management of subordinates.
Su Wan stood still and raised his chin.
This height allowed her to look down at Lin Zhong's slightly plump body.
"What am I doing that I need to report to you?"
Lin Zhong's breath hitched.
He had never been contradicted by Su Wan in this tone before.
"Are you responsible for the storage of supplies in the basement?" Su Wan did not wait for his answer and continued to ask.
The voice is flat and no emotion can be heard.
"Yes, yes." Lin Zhong was caught off guard and answered instinctively.
"The situation is special now. You know better than me what the outside world is like."
Su Wan looked around the empty corridor, and finally her gaze fell back on Lin Zhong.
"I need to make sure that everything in my house is where it's supposed to be."
She deliberately emphasized the words "my house".
Lin Zhong's face froze instantly.
It felt like someone was grabbing my throat.
Aunt Zhang next to her couldn't help but shrink back, her fingers almost crushing her apron.
This house, along with everything inside, theoretically belongs to the Su family and the young lady in front of them.
But in their hearts, they have already regarded it as their own possession.
Su Wan's words were like a needle, accurately piercing their tacit understanding.
"Of course, Miss, everything in the house is ..."
Lin Zhong forced himself to show some expression, trying to save the situation, but his tone unconsciously became a little dry.
Su Wan didn't give him the chance to continue.
She took a step forward and approached Lin Zhong.
The two were very close.
She was so close that Lin Zhong could smell the light fragrance on her body, and she could also clearly see the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Butler Lin."
Su Wan interrupted him, her tone calm but chilling.
"I remember that I used to open the door to this basement once a week for you to take out the supplies. The quantity was enough."
She paused, her eyes as sharp as a knife, cutting across Lin Zhong and Zhang Ma's faces.
"What's going on lately? You've changed it to asking me to come down every three or four days. Is the sky falling outside, or have your appetites gotten bigger, huh?"
The expression on Lin Zhong's face froze, and he began to sweat even more heavily.
Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she dared not breathe and buried her head even lower.
Su Wan didn't give him the chance to continue.
She took another step forward.
"Butler Lin."
Her voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable pressure.
"Since you said everything is there, why are you so nervous now?"
Lin Zhong's breathing stagnated and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
"I, I'm just worried about the young lady's safety."
He avoided Su Wan's gaze.
"Worried about me?" Su Wan chuckled.
"Are you worried that I'm in 'my house' and tripping over 'my stuff'?"
She emphasized the words again.
Lin Zhong's cheek muscles tensed and he straightened his back subconsciously.
"Or..." Su Wan's tone suddenly turned cold.
"You're worried that there's something missing from the basement that's supposed to be there?"
"Or maybe I discovered the 'extra reserve' that you guys were secretly hiding?"
Lin Zhong's heart skipped a beat.
Aunt Zhang covered her mouth tightly and her body began to tremble like a sieve.
"My father will send someone to pick me up soon." Su Wan's eyes swept across the two people's frightened faces.
"You know, he can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes."
"Especially, Shazi, who was doing little tricks behind his back."
"Butler Lin, what if I casually tell my father that the supplies at home are being consumed very quickly and the accounts seem a little unclear, and I suspect someone is stealing and enriching themselves..."
She paused and looked at Lin Zhong's face which turned pale in an instant.
"…What will happen?"
Lin Zhong opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
I just felt a chill running from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head.
Su Wan stopped looking at him.
"Okay, I'm tired. I need to go back to my room and rest."
Her tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.
She turned sideways and walked past Lin Zhong's almost stiff body.
Lin Zhong subconsciously held his breath.
It was not until Su Wan's figure completely disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor that his tense shoulders suddenly collapsed.
Aunt Zhang's hands, which were covering her mouth, were shaking, and suppressed sobs were spilling out intermittently.
"Lao Lin...what...what should I do..."
"She...did she know? She must have known! She even knew that we took extra things!"
Aunt Zhang's voice was trembling and almost inarticulate.
"Shut up!" Lin Zhong shouted suddenly.
His voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed irritation and fear.
Sure enough, she found those "extra" reserves they had hidden away!
She even knew clearly about their recent abnormal use of supplies!
If the young lady really tells the gentleman...
Lin Zhong shuddered and dared not think about it any further.
He knows Mr.'s methods better than anyone else.
Aunt Zhang was still sobbing beside her.
"It's all your fault. You insisted on touching those things... I told you not to, and now you've been caught by the young lady!"
"What's the point of saying this now!" Lin Zhong's eyes were sinister and his heart was in a mess.
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
He had to find a way.
Lin Zhong clenched his fists so tightly that his joints turned white from the force.
