Ji Chuan was taken away by Ye Shaoheng, and someone was responsible for doing psychological work for him. Shi Yin returned to the office, and all the documents had been delivered. When the whole country entered a state of emergency, Yanlong Kingdom's efficiency was always very high.
However, looking at the pile of documents on the table, Shi Yin still felt a little tired. Sure enough, she had to imagine the emperor reviewing memorials every time; there was so much to do.
"Knock knock knock".
"Hello." The gentle voice startled Shi Yin for a moment. The voice was very distinctive, clear and gentle. Shi Yin had only heard this kind of voice from the best voice actors when playing games.
"Go in." Shi Yin hesitated for only a second before returning to normal.
Shi Yin was surprised that Nan Zhu would suddenly come to see her. After all, the investigation of the Nan family was something that everyone could more or less guessed was at her behest. As the youngest son of the Nan family, Nan Zhu and Shi Yin were theoretically enemies.
But now, Nan Zhu's face remained gentle and calm, as if nothing had happened. She walked to the desk and placed the neatly sealed envelope on Shi Yin's desk.
“Miss Shi, this is the information and solutions collected by Mr. Ji and Mr. Qian. We would like you to review them.” Nan Zhu’s voice was gentle and unhurried, and like his eyes, it gave people the illusion of deep affection.
Shi Yin opened the data, which contained the manufacturing time of various equipment and the number of people it could cover. The current manufacturing efficiency was really not keeping up with the number of people. There were too many people in Yanlong Kingdom. Even if they manufactured it day and night, they still couldn't make it available to everyone.
This was expected, but it will be resolved soon.
Ji Chuan has a system, so mass production is not difficult. Finding five more systems should speed things up even more. As for food... some space owners can solve that, and transportation can also be handled by space ability users.
Moreover, the equipment is mainly for soldiers and police; medical personnel don't really need much, since infection with the zombie virus is incurable and there's no need to waste medical resources.
There is another document concerning methods for maintaining order.
"I have a solution regarding the equipment; it will be resolved within two weeks." Shi Yin signed the first document, wrote down her feedback, and handed it to Nan Zhu.
My fingertips touched it accidentally; it was cool and dry, about the same temperature as my body.
"What do you think of the other one?" Shi Yin glanced casually at the files in the folder, then closed the folder and tossed it aside next to Nan Zhu. She looked up and carefully observed Nan Zhu.
Nan Zhu is indeed undeniably beautiful. The Nan brothers' mother was voted one of the top ten most beautiful actresses in a global poll. However, her life after marrying into a "wealthy family" was not good, and she passed away at a young age.
Shi Yin had met Nan Zhu's older brother, Nan Kang. Before her rebirth, they had many interactions, none of which were pleasant.
Or rather, Shi Yin and the Nan family have always been at odds. They are either killing them or on their way to killing them. It's just a matter of sooner or later. This time, they were the first to be killed. As soon as they made their move, Ye Yuansong ransacked their home.
However, Nan Kang, who also inherited his mother's beauty, did not surpass his mother like Nan Zhu did. On the contrary, he became more rugged like his father, and there was a trace of obvious restlessness between his brows.
That guy also inherited his father's greed, and he was extremely greedy for resources, so Shi Yin was targeting them.
And each time, it never involves Nan Zhu.
Shi Yin hadn't seen Nan Zhu much in the previous encounters, so it was understandable that Nan Zhu wasn't implicated. However, this time Nan Zhu appeared so early and still managed to escape unscathed.
Nan Zhu's expression didn't change when he saw the file bag being pushed towards him. He simply opened the file bag calmly and carefully looked through its contents.
"Even without looking, I think you can guess that Mr. Ji and Mr. Qian have different ideas."
Nan Zhu put down the file bag and said calmly, "Mr. Ji prefers a tougher approach. He believes that revealing the information now may cause public panic. It would be better to prepare in advance and take swift and decisive action to control the situation."
"Mr. Qian's ideas are more moderate. He prefers to tell the public the truth in advance and tell them everything, hoping that the public will take precautions and store resources to reduce the pressure on the country."
"What do you think I'll think?" Shi Yin asked, her expression unchanged.
"Please forgive my limited knowledge; I cannot fathom your thoughts." Nan Zhu readily agreed.
"And you?" Shi Yin coldly met Nan Zhu's gaze.
“I am just a diplomat, Miss Shi.” Nan Zhu smiled helplessly: “I represent the will of the nation.”
"That's a perfectly watertight answer, but why don't you know what I'm thinking?" Shi Yin's eyes grew colder: "You represent the will of the nation, but the nation knows my will. You should have been among the first to receive the news, right?"
She had already stated that she would use absolutely forceful methods and would have absolute say.
This is why even though some people believed in the apocalypse, they didn't side with her. Shi Yin was too absolute; unless you had absolute trust in her, it was difficult to take sides.
Those who chose to stay with the leader are now divided into two groups. One group believes in Toki, and they believe in the leader, so they simply close their eyes, grit their teeth, and feel their way across the river.
The other group quickly figured out the pros and cons. Just like Shion said before, the Five Knights put Shion first because Shion is the strongest. Whoever has the strongest fist has the final say. This applies to ordinary people as well.
This group of people reacted as quickly as possible. Shi Yin's strength had probably surpassed a peak, and now she had the support of the leader. From any perspective, listening to Shi Yin's words and observing the situation was the best choice.
This is exactly the method that Shi Yin wants, to select the first batch of usable people as quickly as possible.
Now, here's the problem.
Nan Zhu is from the General's side, so how could he not know what Shi Yin meant?
Nan Zhu still had that gentle smile on his lips, but the smile in his eyes had faded slightly, as if he realized that his excessive caution had backfired.
“Miss, I’m not entirely unaware of your attitude, but… perhaps you can interpret this as a response technique.” Nan Zhu said helplessly, “Speaking too much might overshadow the main point, and I don’t want you to get that impression of me.”
"So you don't speak directly to me, but instead use this roundabout way of asking questions?" Shi Yin raised an eyebrow.
Nan Zhu's smile grew even more helpless: "Uh, what you're saying..."
This was truly a death question and answer session; no matter what he said, he was wrong...
“Mr. Nanzhu, why is your little finger injured?” Shi Yin stared at Nanzhu’s fingers holding the documents, her gaze icy: “How did you find that spider that day?”
"Let me guess, you tampered with that exchange student's computer without his permission. You waited until he left and then barged into his room, right?" Shi Yin didn't give Nan Zhu a chance to reply and continued to ask, "You're quite skilled."
"Is it because you served as a SWAT officer for three months? You became a SWAT officer just one month after resigning? Did you use connections? Or are you exceptionally talented and got in directly through the exam?"
"Your report states that you discovered the spider and handed it over after conducting an investigation, but you make no mention of the conflict you had with the exchange students. Are you... protecting them?"
