76: Interests

As soon as Su Mianmian heard this, she immediately felt that Su Ran had come with ill intentions.

Su Ran's luck was really good, but she wondered if Yao Sheng would still be so clingy to her once he knew about her interesting stories.

"This is..."

"She awakened space ability."

When Su Mianmian spoke, everyone turned their heads to look at her.

Shi Xu stood up and walked to her side, asking curiously, "Mianmian, when did you arrive?"

None of them had noticed her, which was truly strange.

Su Mianmian was surprised that they hadn't known she had been there for so long, and she paused.

"I've been here for quite a while!"

"Didn't any of you notice me?"

"Perhaps you were all too focused."

Su Mianmian raised her hand to touch her nose, a amused expression on her face.

She hadn't expected Shi Xu, who was usually very vigilant, not to notice her entry. She felt like laughing.

Shi Xu reached out and ruffled her hair, ignoring her teasing.

"Look, this woman is still pretending to be a good person."

Xu Qing turned his head and saw Su Ran taking food out of her space and distributing it to the people watching her. He complained.

Su Mianmian looked over and couldn't help but smile.

Did Su Ran know that when she was distributing things, Yao Sheng's expression was very displeased?

It seemed the items in her space were not hers.

"Ignore her, she'll get what's coming to her."

"Their biggest leader hasn't arrived yet, and we don't know who the person coming actually is."

Shi Xu didn't even want to glance at Su Ran. He looked down at the floor, his expression indifferent.

Just then, Su Mianmian saw a medium-large ship sail in on the monitor.

This ship looked more advanced than the surrounding ones. There were an unusually large number of soldiers on board, each equipped with a gun and standing perfectly straight.

"Shi Xu, do you think their leader might be on this ship?"

Su Mianmian tugged at Shi Xu, reminding him to look at the monitor.

When Shi Xu looked up, a person just happened to emerge.

It was a burly middle-aged man, his face clearly marked with the words "shrewd."

Even looking at the monitor, Su Mianmian could feel the strong aura of a superior emanating from him.

This was a dangerous man.

She just didn't know what his character was like.

Su Mianmian scrutinized him, her mood not very pleasant.

"It's him, Chief Ren!"

"Shi Xu, I feel like we're not alone anymore!"

Su Jinxuan, who was beside them, saw that the person who came out was Ren Tingfeng, and his eyes immediately lit up.

He looked at Shi Xu excitedly, almost jumping for joy.

Shi Xu watched Ren Tingfeng go up to the sixth floor and have a pleasant conversation with Yao Sheng, and he felt that the situation was not very good.

"He might not be the same person he used to be."

"Look at him now..."

Shi Xu shook his head, his expression cold.

Su Jinxuan subconsciously looked at the monitor. When he saw Ren Tingfeng walking side-by-side with Yao Sheng, he found it particularly jarring.

How could he have become such a person?

"With the apocalypse, not everyone can remain unchanged."

"Now, most relationships are based on self-interest."

"Even if he doesn't like Yao Sheng, he'll still keep up appearances."

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan, who was full of despair, and spoke helplessly.

This was reality; didn't he know that yet?

"You're right, I should have thought of that sooner."

"So what do we do now?"

"If they all come to deal with us, then..."

Su Jinxuan felt that a tough battle was coming.

He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could fight those people.

Su Mianmian felt that things hadn't reached that point. If this so-called Chief Ren was only pretending to befriend the Yao family to gain benefits from them, then they could also negotiate a partnership with him.

She didn't believe they had nothing he wanted.

Su Mianmian's lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a subtle smile.

Shi Xu looked down and saw her like this, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Mianmian, have you thought of something?"

"Tell us."

Shi Xu reached out and ruffled Su Mianmian's hair, encouraging her.

He was quite eager to hear what strange ideas Su Mianmian's mind had come up with.

Su Mianmian reached out and pulled his mischievous hand off her head, glaring at him angrily and complaining, "Shi Xu, if you mess up my hair again after I've finally managed to comb it, you're finished!"

Shi Xu: "..."

Her hair seemed a bit messy to begin with, didn't it?

Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian's furious expression. He opened his mouth to tell the truth, but then a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he decided it was safer to keep quiet.

He didn't know that this sudden flash of insight had saved his life.

Shi Xu nodded, indicating that he wouldn't dare to do it again.

Su Mianmian let him off and raised her hand to tidy her hair.

After tidying it, she slowly began to explain her idea.

The more Shi Xu listened, the brighter his eyes became. As soon as Su Mianmian finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise, "Mianmian, you're really too smart! We can try this method you suggested!"

He actually didn't quite believe that Ren Tingfeng was truly befriending the Yao family.

Perhaps Su Mianmian was right; Ren Tingfeng was only treating them this way because he wanted to get something from the Yao family.

If they also had something that Ren Tingfeng desired, he would surely protect them.

In that case, wouldn't they be able to continue living peacefully here?

Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian with satisfaction. Having her was truly his good fortune.

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian proudly. As her brother, he was so proud of her.

"My sister is just amazing, none of you have that, do you!"

"Hahahaha!"

As Su Jinxuan spoke, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xu Qing and the others looked at him speechlessly, as if to say, 'What kind of lunatic is this, quickly drag him out.'

Su Mianmian watched as the previously gloomy atmosphere suddenly became lively, and she couldn't help but smile.

She was also very happy to be able to help them.

"Now we just wait for trouble to come to our door."

"We'll gradually expose our advantages, making Ren Tingfeng notice our differences, and let him come to us to negotiate."

Shi Xu raised his hand to stroke his chin, speaking seriously.

He didn't know much about Ren Tingfeng, but his upright character was well-known among every soldier.

He was naturally suspicious, and to avoid arousing his suspicion, they couldn't actively seek him out.

Su Mianmian nodded. She wouldn't participate in the specific details; she would only provide the general idea.

As for what happened next, that was their own business.

Su Mianmian completed her task, then turned to eat breakfast.

Shi Xu and the others still had to discuss the specific details, so it wouldn't be quick.

By the time they finished discussing and came out, Su Mianmian was already almost done eating.

"Why did you discuss so slowly?"

"Breakfast is going to get cold."

Su Mianmian looked at them confused. Didn't Shi Xu just say they'd discuss for a few minutes?

Now, more than twenty minutes had passed since he said "a few minutes." Were they each discussing for a few minutes?

Su Mianmian shook her head, feeling a bit helpless.

Indeed, a man's words are like a lying ghost.

"Mianmian, our discussion this time was already considered fast."

"You don't know how twisted Shi Xu used to be. He'd tell us to discuss for a few minutes before eating, and by the time we finished discussing, there would be no food left in the cafeteria."

"Don't ever believe what he says again."

Su Jinxuan sat next to Su Mianmian, complaining about Shi Xu's old stories.

Su Mianmian couldn't stop smiling. She could tell that Su Jinxuan deeply detested Shi Xu's phrase "discuss for a few minutes."

"You're talking bad about me in front of Mianmian again."

"Mianmian, don't listen to your brother. I'm not that kind of person."

"Afterward, I treated them all to a big meal as compensation."

Shi Xu listened to Su Jinxuan's complaints about him, and seeing Su Mianmian's smiling face, he couldn't help but defend himself.
