Gao Feng was efficient and experienced, and quickly purchased a large number of crossbows and matching arrows and steel balls.
"You didn't let anyone notice your identity, did you?" Ye Ning asked.
"No, the seller did try to subtly inquire, but I brushed them off." Gao Feng is a man who is always quite cautious in his actions.
However, it's normal for sellers to inquire, since it's a gray area and they're afraid of getting into trouble and getting themselves implicated.
Ye Ning nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, but the quantity wasn't too much, and the price was quite high.
"Next time you go, you can casually mention that you work for Xinyuan Group. If there are any other valuable items, you can buy them directly without calling me."
Xinyuan Group is now the largest conglomerate in City A. On the surface, it deals in resource trading, but in reality, it has connections in both the legitimate and illegal worlds and engages in many shady businesses behind the scenes.
In their previous life, Xinyuan Group was the largest survivor settlement in City A. They controlled the seafood fishing in the coastal area and amassed resources in City A on a massive scale, making them practically local tyrants.
"Miss, why are you buying so many weapons?" Gao Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, just better to be safe than sorry. After all, there are some people we have to be wary of."
Although the sanctuary is far from the area controlled by the conglomerate in my previous life, we still have to be careful.
After Gao Feng accepted the order, Ye Ning returned to the Ye family.
Now that all the supplies at the shelter are finally complete, Ye Ning plans to have Grandma Wang and her husband, along with Da Huang and Er Huang, move over first to clean up and guard the supplies.
Wang Ma and her husband had lived in the Ye family their whole lives. They were honest, dutiful, loyal, and hardworking.
The couple only has one son, and both their son and daughter-in-law currently work for the Ye family. They don't have any children yet, and the whole family are honest and kind people, so there shouldn't be any problems taking them to a shelter.
More importantly, such a large shelter cannot be managed by her alone; there must be people to do the work, otherwise she would be exhausted.
After quickly packing their things, Wang Ma and the others followed Ye Ning to the shelter.
They were stunned by the mountain of timber as soon as they entered.
Miss has stockpiled so much timber. Is she going to the lumber mill?
Ye Ning didn't explain to them because it was unnecessary; even if she did, they wouldn't understand.
After they came in, Ye Ning reassigned them to different accommodations.
Wang Ma and her husband lived in the guardhouse at the front gate, while Wang Ma's son and daughter-in-law lived in the management office next to the warehouse.
The whole family are hardworking people; as soon as they put their things down, they immediately started cleaning.
Ye Ning then brought Da Huang and Er Huang to their own private room, which was decorated very warmly. It had their own cat bed and dog bed, as well as a sofa, a cat tree, and various toys. Ye Ning had turned this place into a little world just for the two of them.
"This will be your new home from now on. You two need to get along well and not fight all the time." In their previous lives, Da Huang and Er Huang would have regular cat-dog battles.
Both Da Huang and Er Huang were very satisfied with their new home. After they had seen the new home, Ye Ning took Da Huang and Er Huang aside.
"Big Yellow, go around here and sniff around to see if there's anything wrong. Also, see if there's any other way to get in besides the main gate."
Since the shelter was completed, she hasn't had a proper inspection yet. Li Zhengbo is someone who has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and to outsiders, she is a weak woman. One should always be wary of her.
Big Yellow received the command and happily ran out of the living area, sniffing around.
Half an hour later, Da Huang came running in wagging its tail, grabbed Ye Ning's trouser leg with its teeth and tugged at it, signaling Ye Ning to follow it.
Soon, Ye Ning followed it to a wall. The big yellow dog stopped, wagging its tail and barking.
This wall looks ordinary; could there be something fishy about it?
"What's wrong with this wall?" Ye Ning pressed her face close to it and looked closely, but she couldn't see anything unusual.
It pawed on the wall and kept barking, gesturing to Ye Ning.
Ye Ning leaned closer and then tapped her ear with her knuckles.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ning realized something was wrong, so she went to other walls and knocked on them as well.
Ye Ning called Wang Ma and asked her to bring a sledgehammer.
She swung the sledgehammer and smashed it hard against the wall.
In a cloud of dust, a large hole appeared in the wall.
Ye Ning's guess was absolutely right; the wall was hollow.
Li Zhengbo had indeed been keeping his own agenda in mind. Ye Ning had already become wary when Li Zhengbo subtly inquired about the purpose of the shelter.
However, Ye Ning had already made preparations and had Gao Feng find her a small construction team.
She took out her phone.
"Hey! Foreman Wang, bring your men this afternoon! Remember to bring all the tools."
That afternoon, a group of unassuming men followed a lean old man in a van to the gate of the shelter.
They arrived and immediately started working without taking a break.
The hollow wall was completely filled with cement and then repaired.
In addition, another wall was built ten meters away from the original wall, and barbed wire was wrapped around it.
This way, if outsiders want to force their way in, they would have to climb over two walls.
Ye Ning specifically sought out small construction teams to avoid being seen by Li Zhengbo.
Ye Ning then called someone to replace the original electronic lock on the main gate with a traditional bolt.
In extremely cold conditions, electronic locks are prone to malfunction, while ordinary large locks are easily blocked by the keyhole. Physical bolts do not have this problem.
After explaining everything, Ye Ning drove away from the shelter. The countdown to the arrival of extreme cold had already begun, and she still had a few last things to do.
