“Team Leader Hua, I’m fine now,” Tong Sui said into the communicator, “The gun you gave me is really effective.”
Jiang Hua asked, “Are you hurt?”
“Of course not, they weren’t my opponents,” Tong Sui replied, looking down at the man still under control. “Pick up all my things.”
To his surprise, the man actually squatted down and started picking up the scattered experimental reports from the ground.
The subordinates standing nearby were dumbfounded.
At that moment, several piercing whistles sounded, and blinding flashlight beams illuminated the area.
“Everyone over there, don’t try to run!”
A few people wearing security team uniforms blew their whistles and apprehended everyone, pressing them down to the ground.
The unfamiliar security team leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and repeatedly apologized, “Mr. Tong Sui, I’m really sorry we arrived late. Are you alright?”
Seeing their imposing aura, Tong Sui was slightly taken aback.
“I’m fine.”
“That’s good, that’s good,” the security team leader rubbed his hands together. “Could you please inform Mr. Jiang Hua that you are safe now?”
“……,” Tong Sui pressed the communicator. “Did you call them?”
Jiang Hua confirmed with a sound.
The security team leader immediately responded eagerly into the communicator, exchanged pleasantries for a moment, then said, “Captain Jiang Hua, don’t worry. We will take good care of Mr. Tong Sui. As for those few foolish individuals, I will certainly teach them a lesson.”
Jiang Hua replied, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
The security team leader kept saying, “Not at all, not at all.”
The robbers felt helpless and at a loss.
They never expected that the big fish they targeted was actually someone connected to Jiang Hua.
If they had known earlier, not even ten of them would dare to act so recklessly!
After resolving the situation, Tong Sui was escorted to the apartment.
The security team leader kindly pressed the elevator button for him.
Once Tong Sui stepped into the elevator, the security team leader wiped his forehead again, “That scared me to death!”
A young team member complained, “Captain, why are you so scared of Jiang Hua? You weren’t this nervous when you met the district chief.”
“How can it be the same?!”
The security team leader looked at him like he was foolish. “The mutations in the apocalypse are getting worse, and food will become even scarcer. Just look at how chaotic things are these days.”
Anyone can sit in the district chief’s position, but few have the skills to acquire resources.
This was a favor owed to Jiang Hua; if he ever found himself in dire straits, it would give him an extra way out.
Tong Sui exited the elevator.
He still held the communicator in one hand as he opened the apartment door with the other.
Hearing the door creaking open, Jiang Hua asked, “Has anything like what happened today occurred before?”
Tong Sui shook his head.
Then he realized Jiang Hua couldn’t see him and quietly added, “No.”
“Can you explain to me why, just before midnight, you’re still outside?” Jiang Hua said lightly. “Who was it that told me four hours ago that they had already gotten home from work?”
Tong Sui: “……”
He hadn’t expected Jiang Hua to call at that time.
Now he regretted it, wishing he had acted first before those people made their move.
Feeling guilty, he said, “If I say I went out for a walk, would you believe me?”
“……” Jiang Hua replied, “What do you think?”
“Alright, actually I was conducting an experiment in the lab.”
Tong Sui lowered his voice, trying to sound pitiful. “When I get back to the apartment, it’s just an empty room, and I end up missing you, so I can only keep myself busy in the lab.”
That excuse was way too flimsy, wasn’t it!?
Even the system shook its head.
However, on the other end of the communicator, Jiang Hua was silent for a few seconds before apologizing, “I’m sorry, I actually miss you a lot too. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
Eh?
No, no, no!
The system couldn’t believe that the villain would buy such a poor excuse. Had his brain been consumed by zombies?
Then it heard Tong Sui clingily say, “I don’t believe you’ve been gone for so long. I’m lying on your bed and can barely smell your scent anymore.”
“There are my clothes in the closet; you can hug them while you sleep, just as if you’re hugging me.”
The system: 【……】
The smell of love in the air was overwhelming! Is there really no one to manage this?
If watching a pixelated image was a visual harm, then being shown the stark reality of single life by the lovey-dovey Tong Sui was an absolute psychological trauma!
Fortunately, this didn’t last long.
Jiang Hua said, “It’s getting late; you should wash up and go to sleep. Don’t stay up late. The experiments can be done step by step; there’s no need to rush.”
Tong Sui obediently agreed.
Seeing Jiang Hua finally hang up the communicator, the teammates around him had long grown accustomed to such scenes.
Had this been before, they would have surely doubted their hearing; how could the usually taciturn Jiang Hua show such gentle concern for someone else?
But that kind of tenderness was a limited edition.
When Jiang Hua looked over, the smile on his face was replaced by indifference.
“Hand over the map.”
Wang Tao respectfully handed it to him.
Jiang Hua unfolded the map.
They were now very close to the location of the grain depot, but they needed to cross a dense forest first.
The vast and boundless woods were filled with hidden dangers; nobody knew what kind of crises they would encounter.
But they had no other choice.
This was the only way.
Early the next morning, the off-road vehicle was ready to set off.
Before entering the forested area, everyone was on high alert, fully focused.
As the off-road vehicle drove in, the sky darkened within seconds.
The towering trees created a maze of shadows, with only fragmented beams of light able to penetrate the leaves, but by the time they reached the ground, all warmth had been drained, leaving only a thin layer of glow.
