Li Jin has been very busy lately. Every time he comes back, he only gets to be intimate with Lin Mengru for a while before rushing off again.
But this time he showed no intention of leaving.
Wang Fuli's legs were almost numb from squatting under the table.
Good heavens, he was just out hooking up with someone, he shouldn't have to get caught every time!
Lin Mengru, standing in front of the table, was extremely anxious, fearing that Wang Fuli would be discovered by Li Jin.
"Brother Li! Didn't you say you were going to be gone for several days? Why are you back so suddenly?" Lin Mengru said coquettishly.
"What! Aren't you welcoming me back? Or do you have some other secret?" Li Jin raised an eyebrow. It would be strange if a woman like Lin Mengru were loyal to him!
Li Jin's casual remark sent Lin Mengru into a fright, while Wang Fuli shrank back to the very back of the table in terror.
"Brother Li, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Mengru quickly said with a forced smile.
Fortunately, Li Jin didn't notice Lin Mengru's change, because he was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
"Brother Li, what missions have you been on lately?" Lin Mengru quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Brother Li, why haven't we received any supplies from Z City lately?"
Every time supplies arrived, Li Jin would find a way to withhold a portion, which was Lin Mengru's moment of celebration.
"Brother Li, Brother Li!" Lin Mengru called out several times before Li Jincai snapped out of his daze.
"It's nothing!" Li Jin looked at Lin Mengru with a complicated expression.
"Brother Li, what happened?" Lin Mengru asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing! I'm just a little tired! Mengru, my little darling, you rest here for a while! I'm going back to my room to pack some things, I might have to go on a mission in the next couple of days."
Li Jin slammed the door shut, and only then did Wang Fuli relax from his tension, collapsing to the ground.
His whole body went numb from squatting! He almost gave himself away.
Seeing that Li Jin had already returned to the room and was rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
Lin Mengru quickly leaned down and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang! Are you alright?"
Wang Fuli's smile was more like a grimace. "Mengru, when is she leaving? Is she going to stay here all night?"
"This!" Lin Mengru exclaimed, her face showing difficulty. "This! It's really possible!"
"No way!" Wang Fuli was utterly devastated.
Meanwhile, Li Jin was busily packing his things in the room.
He had already received news that something had happened in the five northern cities, and they needed to evacuate urgently.
This is an emergency evacuation, so we must travel light. The helicopter will arrive in three days.
So he had to pack his bags quickly.
He had only packed half of the things when he suddenly remembered something. He looked up at the door and realized that he and Lin Mengru had been very close lately. Unfortunately, there was only one spot left to leave, so he had to apologize to her.
After much deliberation, he took out a small portion of the packed supplies and placed it under the bed. He had done all he could; whether he could survive from now on depended entirely on Lin Mengru's luck.
Lin Mengru waited anxiously in the office, but Li Jin still didn't come out as dusk fell.
Wang Fuli was completely numb from squatting under the table. Several times he wanted to just flip the table over and yell, "To hell with it, I'm not pretending anymore!" But in the end he held back.
Fortunately, after the apocalypse came, it got dark relatively quickly. By 6:30 p.m., it was finally completely dark.
With Lin Mengru's help, Wang Fuli stood up from the table.
"Brother Wang, are you alright? Let me help you up!" Wang Fuli was her sugar daddy.
"I can do it myself!" After squatting for so long, Wang Fuli was also quite angry! He coldly pushed Lin Mengru's hand away.
"Brother Wang, be careful!"
Wang Fuli felt a numbness in his feet, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the floor. It turned out that he had been squatting on the ground for too long, and his feet had gone numb.
"Brother Wang! Be careful, keep your voice down, don't wake Li Jin!" Lin Mengru quickly helped him up. This time, she didn't refuse the benefits because his legs were too weak to stand up.
With Lin Mengru's help, Wang Fuli finally escaped from the terrifying office.
Seven hours had passed since he was blocked.
"Brother Wang! Come over next time when Li Jin is away on a business trip!" Lin Mengru also felt a little embarrassed.
"Again?" Wang Fuli looked frightened. "Forget it, forget it!" He didn't want to stay on the cold floor for another six or seven hours.
Li Jin was unaware of what was happening outside. He slept in his room for one night, and his most important task these past few days was to wait patiently for the rescue team to arrive.
The next morning, the door finally opened, and Li Jin walked out of the room yawning.
Lin Mengru was curled up on the sofa sleeping. Li Jin was a very suspicious person. Although the two of them were together almost every day, Li Jin never let Lin Mengru into the lounge.
The reason given was that there were many important documents in the lounge.
"Brother Li, I've made you dinner. Come and sit down!" Lin Mengru pulled Li Jin to sit at the dining table.
A perfectly fried, golden-brown poached egg rests cleanly on a pristine white porcelain plate, next to two sausages and a head of vibrant green broccoli—a dish that looks nutritious and healthy.
"My little Mengru, why are you being so good today?" Li Jin pulled Lin Mengru to his side.
Lin Mengru broke free and went behind Li Jin, gently massaging him.
"Brother Li, do you still remember Ye Ning from last time?" Lin Mengru finally revealed her purpose.
"I remember, so what?" Li Jin frowned. He was angry when he talked about it. Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also lost several of his trusted confidants.
This whole thing happened because of Lin Mengru. If it weren't for her instigation, none of this would have happened.
“Brother Li, I received some news from someone recently that Ye Ning rented a warehouse nearby. Before the extreme cold arrived, many people saw a constant stream of trucks delivering goods. It is estimated that there are at least tens of millions of yuan worth of supplies inside, and these are all urgently needed and scarce supplies.”
"No, no, no! Let's put this matter aside for now!" These are turbulent times, and it's better to avoid trouble. Escaping is the most important thing. Even if we accumulate too many supplies, we need to be alive to spend them.
"Brother Li, our attack on their headquarters failed last time, but that doesn't mean our attack on the warehouse will fail. I've already found out! There are only a few people guarding the warehouse, and they're just a ragtag bunch. The wall here is only one layer high. If we break through, they're no match for us!"
