60: Valuable intelligence
"Brother, why are you so sleepy?"
"Didn't you go to bed early?"
Su Mianmian took out several bottles of spirit spring water from her spatial dimension and distributed them. When she handed one to Su Jinxuan, she curiously scrutinized him. Seeing his haggard face, she couldn't help but ask.
Su Jinxuan took the spirit spring water, shook his head, and in a half-asleep manner, said, "Last night, Xu Qing insisted on dragging me to play cards, so I didn't get any sleep."
Upon hearing this, Su Mianmian turned to look at Xu Qing. Sure enough, he also looked exhausted.
However, compared to Su Jinxuan, who could barely keep his eyes open, he seemed much more energetic.
Su Mianmian hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but complain, "Brother, Xu Qing tricked you. He was on night watch just now."
She looked at Su Jinxuan with amusement, surprised that he could be fooled.
Xu Qing just wanted someone to keep him company during his night watch.
Poor Su Jinxuan, Su Mianmian felt sorry for him.
Su Jinxuan: "???"
He looked at Xu Qing with disbelief, his eyes filled with furious anger.
Xu Qing looked left and right, but dared not look at Su Jinxuan in front of him.
Worried that Su Jinxuan would forget their main task, Su Mianmian pulled him and advised, "Someone is causing trouble outside. Let's go out and deal with them first, then you two can sort out your own matters."
Hearing Su Mianmian's words, Su Jinxuan calmed himself, nodded, and agreed to her suggestion.
Xu Qing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at Su Mianmian with a resentful expression, as if blaming her for telling Su Jinxuan the truth.
Su Mianmian ignored him. Su Jinxuan was her brother; how could she deceive him?
Xu Qing had better pray for himself.
Su Mianmian smiled and walked over to Shi Xu, "Aren't we going out yet?"
Outside, there were still occasional banging sounds, yet Shi Xu hadn't told them to go out. It was a bit suspicious.
Shi Xu shook his head mysteriously. He reached out and patted her head, "No rush. You'll know in a while."
Seeing him like this, Su Mianmian suppressed her curiosity and nodded.
Soon, she understood what was happening.
Outside, there was a sudden crackling sound that drowned out the banging of the door.
Su Mianmian walked to the door and looked out through the peephole, but saw nothing.
It was pitch black outside, without a single ray of light.
She turned to look at Shi Xu and the others, as if asking what was going on.
This time, Shi Xu didn't play guessing games with her. He said proudly, "Don't they like to smash our door?
Then we'll smash their heads.
It's only fair to return the favor."
Shi Xu's eyes were full of laughter, but Su Mianmian found it a little eerie.
"Shi Xu, if I go out and open the door now, will there be brains everywhere?"
Su Mianmian's face was full of unspoken thoughts. Just imagining that scene made her feel nauseous.
Shi Xu and Xu Qing had been tinkering outside for half a day just to smash people's heads?
Their taste was simply too... Su Mianmian didn't know what to say anymore.
"Of course it won't be that disgusting."
"We still have some sense of proportion."
"If they're going to die, it'll be a good death."
Xu Qing rested his chin in his hand, looking proud.
Su Mianmian: "..."
Shi Xu walked over, took her hand, opened the door, and led her out.
The scene Su Mianmian had imagined didn't happen; there was nothing outside.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that those people hadn't even managed to open the anti-theft door.
They were a bit too weak, weren't they?
Su Mianmian felt she had really overestimated them.
Shi Xu didn't notice Su Mianmian's expression. He led her directly to the anti-theft door. "Open it and look outside."
Su Mianmian looked up at him. Shi Xu's eyes were full of encouragement.
As if emboldened, she reached out and opened the anti-theft door.
Outside was a mess. The people in front all had black stuff on their heads, and Su Mianmian felt like their heads were scorched.
The people behind weren't much better, but their chests were still rising and falling; they weren't dead.
The few people at the very back, with the lightest injuries, were now looking at them with terrified expressions.
Su Mianmian curved her lips into a smile, finding their expressions somewhat amusing.
"Why are you looking at us like that?"
"Waking people up in the middle of the night, isn't that a bit impolite?"
Su Mianmian said loudly.
Her voice startled the remaining few people awake.
They looked as if they had finally come to their senses.
"You... you... are you humans or ghosts?"
"You actually dared to plant bombs here!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
The tall man, who had lost all his arrogance, now stood hunched, one hand clutching his waist, the other pointing at Su Mianmian and the others.
Su Mianmian disliked being pointed at. She frowned, and just as she was about to speak, a knife flew past her, swiftly severing the man's outstretched finger.
She was stunned for a moment, then turned to look behind her.
Su Jinxuan hadn't had time to hide his angry expression, which Su Mianmian saw clearly.
She smiled, knowing it was his doing.
A belated scream of "Ah" broke the quiet atmosphere.
"Boss, are you alright?"
"You people are really going too far!"
"Killing so many of our brothers isn't enough, and now you want to harm our boss?"
A chubby man supported the tall man, then turned and looked at Su Mianmian and the others indignantly.
Su Mianmian laughed in anger. Who started the trouble first?
If they hadn't come to cause trouble here, would they even bother with them?
These small fries, she really didn't take them seriously.
Su Mianmian turned her head, not wanting to deal with them.
"Shut up, so noisy!"
"Don't try to morally blackmail us. If you hadn't touched the bombs yourselves, how could they have exploded?"
"I haven't even asked you to compensate us for emotional distress, yet you're yelling at us.
Truly shameless."
Seeing that Su Mianmian didn't want to speak, Xu Qing took on the role of "diplomat."
It was always like this; Xu Qing was already used to it.
"You... you..."
"Just you wait!"
The chubby man, unable to retort, was about to help his boss leave when another knife shot out, blocking his path.
"This isn't a place where you can come and go as you please."
"Either leave your lives, or... leave something that can save your lives."
Su Jinxuan held a small knife, playing with it like a magic trick.
The chubby man was now terrified at the sight of the small knife, trembling uncontrollably.
The tall man endured the pain, looked up, and said seriously, "You want information? I can give it to you, but you must promise not to kill us once you have it."
Su Jinxuan's hand, playing with the knife, didn't stop. He said mockingly, "We're not like you, whose words are like farts.
As long as the information you give us is valuable to us and worth your lives, we won't kill you.
The premise is, it must be valuable."
Su Jinxuan looked directly into the tall man's eyes with a cold expression, speaking without hesitation.
Seeing this, the tall man pondered for a moment, ultimately deciding that his life was more important.
"A military troop will be arriving in a few days. They will be dispersed among these high-rise buildings."
"They're also bringing many refugees with them."
"It's going to be very lively then."
"If you continue to be so unique, you will definitely attract their attention."
"But I can help you, to scout for information."
"I have many informants here."
The tall man said proudly.
When Su Mianmian heard the words "military troop," her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
She wondered which troop it was. If it was the same troop as the Su Family, then... Su Mianmian felt there would be a good show to watch.
