Chapter 179 -179: Ruiming Provokes Again

Gu Pan returned home, lay on the bed, and continued to think about these matters. She and Lu Ruisheng talked until the middle of the night before falling asleep.

Since neither of them had jobs, they woke up at noon the next day.

After getting up and having breakfast, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng planned to go buy a vehicle. The acid rain had passed, and they wanted to go out again, for the excuse to bring back solar panels and exchange them for supplies.

Also, after buying a vehicle, the first thing was to go to the entrance and build a good relationship with the guards, leaving them information about their friends. If their friends came and couldn’t get in, they needed to be aware, and also to ensure the guards would look after them somewhat.

The two went to the used car dealership they had visited before.

Now all the shops had simple names. There was only one of each kind, so everything was prefixed with “Seventh Base.”

Upon reaching the Seventh Base Used Car Dealership, they didn’t directly say what kind of car they wanted to buy but decided to look around first.

A truck or an SUV would do. After all, the Space had all sorts of vehicles, and now it was just a matter of choosing one in good condition. Once out, which car to drive was up to them, wasn’t it?

Cars were very cheap now, especially trucks. Those who came to seek refuge at the base usually arrived in trucks, but once they got here, they became useless and were sold directly.

Some cars that were not worth keeping, or too worn-out, were dismantled for other uses.

SUVs were a bit more expensive, but they were rare commodities, with few buyers.

You might not believe it, but the base’s best-selling vehicles were bicycles. After all, for commuting, these were the most convenient, and they neither burned fuel nor used electricity, absolutely burden-free.

Actually, sometimes it seemed that the base resembled the Republic era, or some cities in the early years of liberation.

While checking out the vehicles, the two also discussed which one would be suitable.

Suddenly, a Yamaha motorcycle by the window caught Lu Ruisheng’s attention.

Gu Pan knew what her husband liked and pulled him over to it.

Having a motorcycle in the base was convenient, so they could buy one truck and one motorcycle, riding the motorcycle within the base limits and driving the truck when going out.

They walked over to the motorcycle, and Lu Ruisheng carefully inspected it to ensure it hadn’t been water-damaged or involved in a major accident.

At that moment, two young men approached, the one in front wearing a sinister expression, “Yo, who do we have here? Isn’t this the opinionated couple from the road? Looking to buy a car?”

Lu Ruisheng recognized them as the guy they’d met on the road, something Ruiming or some Ming, the one who tried to force-buy their self-heating hot pot meal. He was unsure of his exact name, only heard it approximately when his mother called him, probably Ruiming. But it wasn’t important.

He stepped in front of his wife and asked the other party, “What’s the matter?”

The guy, something Ruiming, said, “Nothing, just saw you and thought I’d make some trouble.”

One of his lackeys said to Lu Ruisheng, “Offending Brother Ming was really unwise of you.”

Lu Ruisheng ignored the lackey and asked something Ruiming, “What do you want to do?”

Something Ruiming told the shop manager, “Don’t sell them the bike.”

The manager was a bit bewildered, “We’re running a business here. Everyone who comes is a customer, we can’t refuse to sell.”

“What, you want to offend the Base Commander just because my uncle is the Base Commander?” Ruiming said.

The manager was a bit nervous, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, “We, we, our store is taking inventory this afternoon, and we won’t be open for business.”

He didn’t want to offend the Base Commander, but he also thought it was unfair to the customers. However, when someone’s authority is a level higher, it can crush you — and this was far too many levels above, he really couldn’t afford to offend.

However, he really didn’t like to bow down, so he came up with a solution — simply close the store. That way, it didn’t represent either side as victorious, he wasn’t aiding and abetting, and he still preserved the customer’s dignity. It was the best solution he could think of at that moment.

Having said that, he directly hung a “Temporarily Closed” sign on the door and announced they wouldn’t be open, meaning they should resolve their own issues.

As the manager, he still had that right.

Gu Pan couldn’t let her momentary satisfaction cause the manager to lose his job. This manager was a good person; he didn’t butter up or flatter influential customers. So she couldn’t start a fight there and get the manager involved.

Gu Pan had a plan in mind. She couldn’t involve innocent people, but she needed to plan a major revenge. Otherwise, this constant threat would really be annoying.

So she looked at Lu Ruisheng, “Let’s go.”

Lu Ruisheng also had his thoughts, but likewise, he didn’t want to drag innocents into the issue. He would discuss it with his wife first. He nodded, “Mm.”

After speaking, the two of them held hands and walked out.

Ruiming didn’t want to miss any opportunity to humiliate Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, trailing behind them, “What’s the matter? Isn’t it just based on my word that the item you wanted to buy is gone?” As he spoke, he even made a shrugging gesture, extremely irritating.

Gu Pan looked at his arrogant demeanor, his nostrils flaring upwards, and found it annoying. From her space, she took out a few plastic beads. Seeing him still arrogantly tossing his head, following them, she casually tossed the beads under Lu Ruiming’s feet.

Suddenly, from him came a “Ah…” and he slipped, falling flat on his back, looking like an upturned turtle.

Gu Pan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “What? Got no other skills to make money and came out to perform like a turtle?” After speaking, she took out a pre-apocalypse one-yuan coin from her space and threw it on the ground, “Well played, here’s a reward from the boss.”

Lu Ruisheng really couldn’t help but laugh as well, “My wife is truly kind.”

Gu Pan nodded, “That’s right, your wife is the kindest.”

At that moment, a lackey by Ruiming’s side quickly rushed over to help him up, “Brother Ming, are you alright?”

Just then, Song Xiner also came running over, righteous indignation on her face as she pointed at Gu Pan and accused, “How can you be so rude? He’s fallen, and you’re laughing, you…”

Gu Pan stepped forward and twisted her pointing finger aside, “Point at me again, and it’ll be broken and fed to the dogs.”

Song Xiner’s words were cut short by pain, she screamed out loud. Lately, she had been wandering around this area every day. Having been trapped by the acid rain, now that she could come out, she was shopping every day, so seeing this wasn’t strange.

She had seen Gu Pan bullying someone and had run over quickly, hoping to suppress Gu Pan a bit; after all, her father’s influence worked in the corporate world, and now that she had chosen freelance work, she couldn’t use her father’s authority to oppress her. So, she thought about using others to strike, but unexpectedly, she got hit herself, her finger feeling as if it was broken. Her tears uncontrollably started falling.

Ruiming got up, his face red with anger, pointing at Gu Pan, “Just you wait.”

Gu Pan curled her lip, “Waiting for your apology?”

“I’ll make sure you can’t stay at the base,” Ruiming continued to roar, the veins on his neck bulging.

Lu Ruisheng smiled and said, “Let’s see.” After speaking, he took his wife’s hand and they went home.
