"Is Old Li sure the information is reliable?" In a dark basement, a burly, bearded middle-aged man was scrutinizing Lin Mengru with a critical eye.
Beside him were several equally menacing-looking men, who were leering at Lin Mengru.
"The information Brother Li received is absolutely reliable!" Lin Mengru replied, her legs trembling as she forced herself to remain calm.
"What will we get in return for helping you?" the bearded leader sneered.
"Are you going to give yourself to us?" one of the men with a scar on his face said lewdly.
The other men also burst into laughter.
"Alright, stop fooling around! You can continue!" the bearded man said.
"Brother Li said that once we take it down, we'll split the profits 50/50!" Lin Mengru relayed Li Jin's words.
"Alright then! Since it's Lao Li's message, let's believe it this time!" Li Jin is usually stingy, but this time he's surprisingly generous. In that case, let's go with him on this mission!
Lin Mengru breathed a sigh of relief. She told the other party the agreed time and place, and then tried to leave.
"Wait!" the scarred man interrupted, "You think you can just leave like that?"
He turned to the bearded man and said, "Brother, wouldn't it be a waste to let this woman go back? Why don't we just keep her here?"
He discussed unspeakable things so recklessly, as if Lin Mengru were a kitten or puppy, whose fate he could decide to leave or stay at will.
Lin Mengru's heart leaped into her throat upon hearing this. What if she fell into the hands of these people...
"Alright, alright! She's obviously Li Jin's woman. It's not a good time to embarrass Li Jin." The bearded man gave Lin Mengru a cold look. "Hurry up and leave!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mengru quickly retreated.
After Lin Mengru left, the scarred man and the other man exchanged a glance. "Brother, we both have stomach aches, so we'll head down first!"
The bearded man glanced at them disdainfully, fully aware of their wicked schemes.
"Go! Come back soon, and don't cause me any trouble!"
Water that is too clear has no fish; excessive suppression will only provoke resistance from those below, so he chose to turn a blind eye.
Lin Mengru hummed a little tune as she walked back.
Ye Ning, you didn't expect you'd soon fall into my hands, did you!
I've said it before: you can't beat me, and I can never beat you!
As Lin Mengru was passing by a small alley with a sense of pride, a pair of strong, powerful hands suddenly covered her eyes and pulled her into the alley.
"Who are you?" Lin Mengru met a pair of fierce eyes. "It's you! Help! Let me go!"
Half an hour later, Lin Mengru emerged from the alley, her clothes disheveled and her hair in disarray! Her once pretty face was now covered in handprints.
What does it mean to try to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice instead?
Lin Mengru never expected that she would suffer retribution before she even touched Ye Ning's clothes.
However, as long as she can bring down Ye Ning and take everything away from her, then everything she is suffering now will be worth it.
Lin Mengru straightened her clothes and hair in front of the office before pushing the door open.
Li Jin was already anxiously waiting in his office.
"My little Mengru, how is she?" he asked impatiently.
"They've already agreed!" Lin Mengru said softly, her head lowered, afraid that Li Jin would see the wound on her face.
"That's good, that's good!" Li Jin couldn't contain his excitement.
"By the way! Mengru, what happened to your face?" After a while, Li Jin noticed the strange thing about Lin Mengru.
"It's nothing! I just tripped and fell on the road!"
Although Li Jin was blinded by lust, he wasn't stupid. He could tell at a glance what had happened to her, but he didn't care. She was a whore anyway. What mattered to him now was how to quickly obtain the supplies without being discovered by others.
"Mengru, I'm sorry you had to go through this. I'll make it up to you properly once we get the supplies!" Li Jin comforted her with empty promises.
"Okay!" Lin Mengru nodded obediently.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2045, Li Jin and his team finally finalized all the details.
Lin Mengru was also ravaged beyond recognition in the intercom room.
With unanimous agreement, it was decided to officially begin the operation today.
Unlike previous years, this year's New Year was without firecrackers and fireworks, and without the clamor of gongs and drums. Everything was quiet, but this did not stop the survivors from celebrating the New Year with joy.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, just as dusk was falling.
The bearded man and his men finally arrived as scheduled, joined by several of Li Jin's men.
Given the magnitude of this matter, Li Jin certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse to release his own people.
"Alright, everyone's here now! Let's begin the operation!" the bearded man announced.
They made their way toward the shelter under the cover of night.
"Be careful! Don't get caught!" the bearded man instructed. He was a man who was rough around the edges but meticulous at heart.
"Brother, you're being too cautious! There's just a young couple and a few old men inside. What's there to be afraid of? But what if they find out?" the scarred man said nonchalantly.
As he spoke, he leered at Lin Mengru, who was not far away.
Lin Mengru turned around and found the scarred man staring straight at her, and a chill ran down her spine.
"Alright, just listen to me. It's always better to be careful," the bearded man scolded.
The shelter in the darkness was like a sleeping behemoth, and they approached it cautiously.
Inside the shelter, Xiao Jingchen was showing Ye Ning and the others the helicopter that had just been assembled.
"It will be so much more convenient to go out with a helicopter in the future," Ye Ning exclaimed.
"Miss, if you go out next time, could you take me with you? I'd like to ride in a helicopter too," Wang Ma chimed in, joining in the fun.
"No way!" Ye Ning was exasperated. What was she going to do with Wang Ma? Cook?
"But I can take you on a helicopter ride!" Taking her for a drive is still an option.
Xiao Jingchen's expression was complicated: I just want to sit alone with Ye Ning.
At this moment, Erhuang suddenly pricked up its ears, ran to Ye Ning's feet and kept rubbing against them, while rubbing against them and letting out sharp cries.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen's expressions changed; Erhuang was reminding them that there was an invasion from outside.
They exchanged a glance and quickly got to work.
"Long Fei, there is an invasion by foreign enemies. Go to the watchtower on the west side."
"What? There's an invasion by foreign enemies? Where?" Long Fei immediately became alert.
"Lei Siming, you all go back to your rooms first. I'll let you know if anything happens."
"Uncle Liu, you guys guard the gate."
"Dahuang, you keep watch on the west side of the fence."
"Ye Ning, let's go up to the watchtower on the east side together."
The group worked together and quickly reached their respective positions.
