Chapter 48: I just like that deadpan look when he ignores me

The “mountain villa” she mentioned was the place she had talked about in the group before—the spot she planned to turn into a safe house in the Apocalypse.

“Okay!” Xiao Lu moved immediately, organizing everyone to start relocating.

After Su Qian closed the Chat Group, she drove to the warehouse Factory Director Zhao mentioned.

Factory Director Zhao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw that familiar car pull up, his heart leaped, and he hurried over to greet her.

Su Qian parked the car.

She told Lu Yao to stay inside and not wander around. She would be right back.

Lu Yao was a little puzzled, but he still nodded obediently. “Okay.”

“Miss Su, you’re here. The medicine is all ready. We’re just waiting for you to inspect it,” Factory Director Zhao said, leading Su Qian into the warehouse.

Inside, box after box of medicine was stacked neatly.

Su Qian nodded and did a quick check.

The whole warehouse was piled like a mountain. Su Qian estimated there were at least over ten thousand boxes of medicine, big and small.

After confirming there were no issues, Su Qian said, “Factory Director Zhao, you’ve worked hard. You’re done here.”

Factory Director Zhao waved his hand. “Not hard at all, not hard at all. Then I’ll head back first.”

With that, Factory Director Zhao turned and left.

After making sure no one was around, and after she got Jiang Xiao Yu’s reply, Su Qian opened the Chat Group’s photo feature and transported the medicine over.

She also sent some basic cold medicine, fever reducers, and anti-inflammatory medicine to Lin Yue.

In ancient times, medical conditions were relatively limited. Those medicines would be very useful to her too.

Far away in ancient times, Lin Yue suddenly received so much medicine that she almost got knocked silly.

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “[Surprised] I get a share too?”

Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “I bought a lot of medicine this time. I thought medical resources are way too limited in your time, so you’ll definitely be able to use it.”

Lin Yue was so touched she was practically crying. “Qian Qian girl, you’re way too nice.”

As for Jiang Xiao Yu, there was simply too much medicine.

Piled like a mountain, it buried her completely.

It took her a lot of effort before she finally crawled out.

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Su Qian! Did you move the entire drug factory over for me? I love you so much!”

She lay on top of the mountain of medicine, shocked and moved at the same time.

In the Apocalypse, the value of medicine spoke for itself.

Su Qian watched the Chat Group scroll nonstop and let her lips lift slightly. “No need to be polite. Oh yeah, I also saved a few boxes of sleeping pills for you. I’m still waiting to eat popcorn.”

The moment that message was sent, the group became lively again.

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “I remember someone saying she wanted to use sleeping pills to knock someone out and force herself on him.”

“So how far has this ‘force herself on him’ scene gotten?”

“Hahahahaha!”

Su Qian sent a whole string of stickers in the group.

Shen Meng Qi caught the scent of gossip and came online too. “Xiao Yu, do you need sister to teach you some experience?”

“Ahem.”

In the Apocalypse, Jiang Xiao Yu cleared her throat a few times.

For once, her cheeks even turned a little red.

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Not yet. I’ll talk about that after I trick him into coming here. The safe house isn’t finished yet. If I’m going to sleep with him, I have to give it some ceremony, right?”

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Oh? So you’re planning it first and acting later.”

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “I’m serious. If I sleep with him, I have to take responsibility. I’m not going to be a scumbag.”

“Sounds like Xiao Yu really fell for him this time.”

Su Qian did not expect Jiang Xiao Yu to mean it for real instead of just talking.

“I’m kind of curious. How handsome is that guy, for him to make Xiao Yu almost turn brain-dead?” Su Qian @-mentioned Jiang Xiao Yu.

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Broad shoulders, a slim waist, long legs—so handsome I got a nosebleed. But what I like most is that deadpan look when he ignores me.”

The moment she sent that, the Chat Group got lively all over again.

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue) teased, “Oh? So that’s what our Xiao Yu likes.”

Su Qian was stunned too. “Does Xiao Yu have a thing for suffering?”

She kept teasing. “Looks like Xiao Yu transmigrated to the wrong place. She shouldn’t have gone to the Apocalypse. She should’ve gone to an angst-novel world.”

“Love you can’t get, suffering in body and heart.”

“Then force an HE at the end.”

“Agreed!”

The others in the group chimed in one after another.

While Su Qian chatted away, Lu Yao, waiting in the car, grew bored.

“Why is she taking so long?” Lu Yao frowned slightly. “Should I go in and take a look?”

He struggled inside.

His gaze shifted between the window and the car. His fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the seat.

“Forget it. I disdain doing something so sneaky.”

Lu Yao forced down his curiosity.

He sat up straight again, staring calmly out the window, occasionally glancing toward the warehouse.

Soon, Su Qian walked out with an easy smile. She opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

“You look like you’re in a good mood,” Lu Yao said, his gaze falling on her.

Su Qian started the car. “No. Aren’t I always like this?”

“Wait, I need to make a call.”

She seemed to think of something, took out her phone, and dialed Zhou Ran.

“Are you free? Help me investigate someone,” Su Qian said the moment the call connected.

This was not the first time Lu Yao had seen Su Qian make a call.

At first, he found it novel. Later, he understood that this world’s communication method was like message talismans in the cultivation realm, only far more convenient and faster.

“Who do you want checked? Give me the basic info,” Zhou Ran said. His end sounded a little noisy.

“Okay. I’ll send it to your phone in a bit,” Su Qian replied.

Su Qian found it a little strange. “What have you been busy with these days? I haven’t seen you around.”

“Raising money,” Zhou Ran wailed. “That’s a hundred million! Do you think anyone can just take out a hundred million like you, whenever you feel like it?”

Su Qian nodded slightly.

She understood.

Even for a rich playboy like Zhou Ran, it was not easy to come up with a hundred million on short notice.

Even for an average big company, pulling together a hundred million in startup funds quickly was not simple either. The paperwork alone would be a nightmare.

“Alright,” Su Qian said, showing she understood. “Just don’t forget my request.”

Then she hung up.

After pulling over, Su Qian dumped all the info Shen Meng Qi gave her about the scumbag Chen Zi Hao and sent it to Zhou Ran.

It included a detailed address, a name, and contact details. It should not be hard to investigate.

When Su Qian brought Lu Yao back to Yun Jin Villa, she found Su Yi Chen waiting at the gate.

Su Qian was surprised. She parked, got out, and walked over. “Brother, why are you here?”

Su Yi Chen looked at her with a smile. “To pick you up for dinner at home.”
