Chapter 58 Wishful Thinking
"But I heard from my colleagues in the purchasing department that the new boss has stored a lot of goods in the warehouse and has gone abroad for business and hasn't returned yet. So there must be something here."
Lu Xia was fired from the supermarket because of an argument at work, and she still remembers that it was the fault of the new boss.
Now that she has this opportunity, she must clear out the items in this supermarket to relieve her previous resentment.
Her boyfriend is a small-time gangster who is uneducated and unskilled on a daily basis, but in these chaotic times, he has found a close ally in a gangster boss.
She gave them this information, intending to take advantage of it herself.
The supermarket is located on relatively high ground, so only the first floor was flooded. The department store on the second floor and the grocery area on the third floor are still there.
So when they waded over, they didn't feel much surprise.
Until the rubber boat stopped on the vast water, there was no sign of any supermarket.
"Where's the supermarket? Are you sure it's in this area?"
The gangster looked at her fiercely, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"That's right. There's a gas station on the east side and a small square on the right. Aren't the bronze statues of the people in the square still standing on the water?" Lu Xia couldn't find the supermarket, so she hurriedly took out the map on her phone to check.
What was strange was that the positioning point clearly showed that they were above the supermarket, but the bottom of the water was empty, like an open space, and there was not even a shadow of a supermarket.
This is really weird.
"Lv Xia, what's wrong with you?" Her boyfriend hurriedly pulled her aside and asked quietly, "Did you remember it wrong? The boss is very unhappy."
Lu Xia was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat. "That's impossible! I've worked here for two years. Even if the buildings next to me were flooded, I know exactly where they are. How could I have gone the wrong way?"
But the reality is that there is nothing.
Seeing the increasingly gloomy face of the gangster, Lu Xia thought of a solution quickly.
"I also know of a place, a supermarket warehouse in the suburbs. I heard they have a lot of goods stored there as well."
This time, the black boss was skeptical: "Are you sure?"
Lu Xia: "Absolutely no problem."
After some effort, they arrived at a warehouse in the suburbs.
This is a very famous warehouse area, with many online warehouses serving as material transfer points.
The black boss's eyes lit up when he looked at the blue iron house.
"Yes, even if it's soaked in water, you can still find a lot of good things."
"Brothers, search for me. Take as much as you can."
As a result, within half a minute, the men who went into the water to search for supplies came back to report.
"Boss, there's nothing in the warehouse."
"Boss, I don't have any here either."
“My side is empty.”
Having never encountered such a situation before, the gangster's men looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Xia hurriedly said, "How could that be? This is the supermarket warehouse. I've been here before. It was packed with goods. Could you be mistaken?"
The black boss's face turned completely black: "Did you see it wrong? Could it be that all my brothers are blind and saw it wrong?"
He kicked Lu Xia off the rubber boat and said, "Since you think you're wrong, open your eyes and look carefully. Where are the goods you mentioned?"
He spat fiercely: "You bitch, I think you are just kidding me."
At this moment, Lu Xia struggled in the water, her eyes full of resentment, and she was almost angry to death.
How could there not be?
But she couldn't swim, so she could only struggle in the cold water, her clothes completely soaked, and she slowly sank.
"I can't swim, help me."
Her boyfriend said nothing, fearing that she would implicate him and anger the gangster.
The gangster worked hard all day but found no supplies and was very angry.
He sneered, "Let's go. When this woman finds us some supplies, we'll come back to rescue her."

When Su You found out about this, she saw the message Sun Liancheng sent her.
Attached is a hidden video taken by the surveillance camera while it is still in operation, which just captured this scene.
Su You thought for a while before he remembered who the woman who brought people here was.
It's just a dismissed employee who doesn't need to be taken seriously. Don't take it to heart. Others will just think that a female corpse died here.
As for some of the people she wanted to see, they were still like immortal cockroaches, and came here according to the trajectory of fate.
At this time, there were many more people who had moved from the city center to the Mountain Valley Resort.
Some of them were wealthy people living in the villa area. After discovering the heavy rain in the city, they quickly took refuge in the mountains through various means.
This was originally a villa for vacation. There are special people to supply supplies, so it doesn't interfere with their enjoyment of life.
Some people do not want to enter the official shelter further away, and in addition to the villas of the rich, there are also many B&B cottages in the resort area. They are now ownerless and have water and food, so you can stay there freely.
Of course, there are also people who simply want to seek refuge with relatives and friends.
"Mom, do you think my sister is reliable here?"
The wind was cold in the mountains, so Liu Sheng wrapped his coat tightly and squinted his eyes to look at the villa area.
Liu Qin and Su Weiguo, each carrying a backpack and luggage, looked haggard. "It's definitely true, Hou Rui is at the resort. He messaged me that day to confirm. The picture shows Su You coming out in pajamas. He even locked the door and drove out. There must be a house here."
Su Weiguo still found it a little unbelievable: "Didn't Su You owe a loan shark? How could he have become a supermarket owner and owned a villa surrounded by mountains and valleys?"
Liu Qin snorted coldly, no longer as kind as before.
Even the malice is not concealed.
"Your good daughter didn't owe a loan shark, she was trying to defraud us."
"We worked so hard to save our entire lives, but not only was she swindled out of it, but even the house we had just renovated was flooded. We don't even have money to buy supplies. Look at Sheng'er, he's become so thin from hunger in the past two weeks."
"Anyway, I don't care. I'm still pregnant with your Su family's child. No matter what method you use, you must let me live in the villa. I have to take good care of this baby."
Su Weiguo frowned and said, "Okay, I'll tell that damn girl when the time comes, and I'll definitely give her your things."
Liu Qin's expression also eased slightly.
Liu Sheng asked, "Mom, didn't Hou Rui come to our house that time to ask about Su You? He told us that she became a supermarket owner and that they had broken up. This time, Hou Rui specifically told us that Su You was here. What was his plan?"
Liu Qin sneered, "He wants to let us take advantage of the conflict, and he's not a good person. Anyway, as long as we find Su You's residence, we don't have to worry about Hou Rui doing anything bad."
However, the villa complex in the resort area is fenced and has security guards, so those people from the city were directly locked outside the iron gate and could not get in at all.
Liu Qin said to Su Weiguo, "Go tell the security guard at the door that your daughter is inside and ask him to let you in."
