Chapter 166 -165: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (39)
The drained cup was slammed heavily onto the table, and Tang Zelin’s face darkened.
“So many disaster victims are waiting to use it, what are they thinking? Do they want to profit off life-saving supplies?”
Ji Dong kept silent while Qu Guo’an sighed.
Tang Zelin paced back and forth for a couple of steps before finally speaking firmly, “Don’t go! You handle it, just say I’m feeling unwell from a firefight with a criminal and it’s not suitable for me to go out.”
Qu Guo’an let out a laugh, the kind that came from helplessness.
“Alright, I’ll handle it for now, but I don’t think I can stall for long. I’ve heard that there’s a severe shortage of supplies in the southern part of the city, and we’ll have to hand them over anyway.”
Tang Zelin didn’t argue but simply nodded, “I’ve heard about the situation in the south as well—there’s no problem there. We’ll hold onto the goods for a couple of days, let everybody in the other areas know not to turn in a watermelon and then get a sesame seed in return to fool us.”
“That’s not possible, with the way things are now, I don’t think anyone has the nerve to tamper with relief supplies,” said Qu Guo’an.
Tang Zelin snorted coldly but said no more.
Inside the room, an oppressive silence fell.
Suddenly, the group headquarters’ door was pushed open!
Tang Zelin, Qu Guo’an, and Ji Dong looked up.
They saw a beautiful girl standing at the entrance with a cold expression, followed by a distressed military guard Guozi who was scratching his head, not sure what to do.
Upon seeing the visitor, the icy corners of Tang Zelin’s eyes couldn’t help but warm up.
Especially seeing Su Shu with such a serious expression, seemingly holding back anger, he found it surprising yet amusing.
As soon as Su Shu entered, she saw two familiar faces—one was Tang Zelin, whom she was planning to confront, and the other was the Military Officer who had played games with Xiao’ai a couple of days ago.
Seeing him, she paused for a moment.
When Tang Zelin saw her looking at him with a face flushed with anger, he was about to ask her about it, but then he saw her pause upon seeing Ji Dong next to him.
Uh, does she know Ji Dong?
He couldn’t help but glance at Ji Dong from the corner of his eye. Ji Dong also appeared startled by her sudden entrance, but his expression soon returned to normal.
Tang Zelin’s eyes narrowed slightly as he bypassed Su Shu, who had come with accusations, and addressed his own guard directly.
“Guozi, what’s the situation? This is a restricted area of the group headquarters, how could someone just barge in?”
Guozi was on the verge of tears, knowing that the group captain was scolding him for not doing his job as a guard properly!
But he didn’t dare to physically stop her with force either.
She…
“Group Captain, Political Commissar, sister-in-law… ahem, I mean, this comrade insisted on finding the leaders to ask about a matter, and I couldn’t stop her,” Guozi stammered.
Qu Guo’an took a look at Su Shu, found her face familiar, and with keen ears, heard Guozi’s slip of the word “sister-in-law,” he immediately remembered the identity of the girl in front of him.
Oh, she has come directly to confront us?
Qu Guo’an threw a meaningful glance at Tang Zelin.
Tang Zelin appeared unfazed.
His gaze fixed on Su Shu, “Is there something you need?”
Su Shu gathered her thoughts before speaking, “I would like to speak with the leadership of the military about a situation.”

“Oh? What situation?”
Tang Zelin genuinely couldn’t imagine what issue this young lady would bring forth to their doorstep.
During the two days he was away, could she have encountered some trouble?
The thought of her possibly facing something unpleasant made his expression grow far more serious.
“Do you guys in charge have control over your soldiers or not?” Su Shu asked.
“Of course we do, what’s happened, did they bother you?” Tang Zelin questioned.
“Instead of maintaining order and standing guard properly, why are you always keeping an eye on me?” Su Shu locked eyes with Tang Zelin.
Tang Zelin was at a loss for words: “…”
What does she mean by keeping an eye on her?
