Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

Chapter 22: So What If It Was Me Who Hit You



Su Ling clenched her fists. Honestly, she had never encountered such an annoying person in her life.

Compared to Li Xueying, Su Rou could transform into a lady.

She forcefully opened the door, and Li Xueying, due to the inertia, rushed in.

Initially intending to scold, Li Xueying's eyes widened in astonishment when she saw the facilities in Su Ling's room.

"A coffee machine and such a big bed!"

Turning her head in anger, she cursed, "Bitch, who gave you the right to live in such a nice place?"

This time, Su Ling couldn't hold back and slapped Li Xueying across the face.

"You're the bitch. Don't mistake others' tolerance for fear. Sheng Hongye spoils you, but I won't."

Li Xueying staggered and fell onto the bed.

She immediately let out a shrill scream. "Su Ling, you bitch, I'll fight you."

"Li Xueying."

Sheng Hongye's voice came from the door, with Lin Ye by his side.

Li Xueying immediately released her grip and held her chest, struggling to catch her breath.

"Brother Ye, she hit me first, I... I feel so uncomfortable."

Su Ling coldly said, "That's right, I hit her first, but I regret not hitting her harder."

Sheng Hongye frowned and said to Lin Ye, "Go to Miss Li's room and get her asthma medicine."

Li Xueying had already grabbed Sheng Hongye's arm and tearfully said, "Brother Ye, teach her a lesson."

Su Ling sneered and said, "Miss Li, your words are quite amusing. You barged into my room to insult me, and now you want to play the victim. I've been patient enough with you. If it weren't for Mr. Sheng's face, I would have taught you a lesson long ago."

Li Xueying immediately burst into tears. "What have I done to you, Su Ling? Explain yourself."

Su Ling looked at her coldly. "Miss Li, isn't it enough that you curse at me every day? If you're so worried about me stealing Mr. Sheng away, why don't you just keep a better eye on him."

Sheng Hongye narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Xueying, have you really been making things difficult for Miss Su all this time?"

Li Xueying held her chest and said, "No, Brother Ye, don't listen to her nonsense."

Su Ling noticed that Li Xueying's voice was fluent and showed no signs of breathlessness, so she sneered.

"Can Miss Li's asthma be cured? I saw that you’re already feeling better before the medicine was brought. Does arguing have such a miraculous effect?"

Li Xueying's face instantly turned red and then pale.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked.

Su Ling crossed her arms and said, "I said you were pretending to be sick, that's all."

"You..."

Li Xueying couldn't argue with Su Ling and immediately threw herself on Sheng Hongye.

"Brother Ye, she's falsely accusing me."

Sheng Hongye's expression turned cold. "That's enough. Since there's no issue, go back."

"Brother Ye..."

"Go back."

Sheng Hongye's voice was low, displaying his authoritative CEO demeanor.

Li Xueying could only leave in a dejected manner.

Sheng Hongye glanced at Su Ling and said calmly, "I'm sorry."

Su Ling smiled brightly. "Mr. Sheng, don't blame me for hitting her. I'm already quite happy with just that. But I want to say, if Li Xueying comes looking for trouble again, I won't tolerate her anymore."

Sheng Hongye frowned. "I'll arrange a new place for you."

"Whatever, as long as you can live, I’m not too picky. It's getting late, Mr. Sheng, please leave to avoid any misunderstandings that I'm trying to seduce you."

After saying that, Su Ling pushed Sheng Hongye to the door and slammed it shut.

Looking at the closed door, Sheng Hongye furrowed his brows once again.

Li Xueying was indeed out of line, so he wouldn't blame Su Ling.

However, Li Xueying was the younger sister of his best friend. When his friend took a bullet for him and entrusted him to take care of his younger sister before he died, annoying as she might be, Sheng Hongye could only endure it.

Then he remembered Su Ling's sensitivity to the dragon tattoo. Did she recognize it? Or... does she know about the Dragon Soul Hall? What exactly is her identity?

After a long time, Sheng Hongye returned to his own room.

Inside the room were over twenty surveillance screens.

He could see outside, including all corners of the corridor, so he saw Li Xueying going to Su Ling's room.

Thinking of this woman, he couldn't help but get a headache.

Sheng Hongye rubbed his throbbing temples, and Lin Ye immediately handed him a cup of tea.

"Mr. Sheng, have a cup of hot tea, just brewed."

Sheng Hongye accepted the tea and glanced at Lin Ye.

"Tomorrow morning, have Miss Su move to the third floor, and you'll be responsible for her safety. Also, no matter what she does, report everything to me in detail."

"Yes."

Lin Ye acknowledged and stepped aside.

After a moment, another muscular man in camouflage pants walked into the room.

"Mr. Sheng, today we raided the Zhongxing community. They will definitely retaliate. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Sheng Hongye immediately thought of Wei Zixuan, who was beaten up and bruised. He had left earlier to find his own men and assess the situation in Lizhou. Unexpectedly, he found Wei Zixuan in the Zhongxing community.

Both sides started fighting, and Wei Zixuan was badly beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and retreated to the base camp.

Because he was worried about his nephew and Su Ling's group, Sheng Hongye didn't dwell on it. Hearing this, he sneered, "Notify our people to prepare. If the Zhongxing people dare to come, they won't leave alive."

The man's eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty excitement. "I understand. I'll arrange it right away."

The man left the room, and Sheng Hongye's large wrist watch beeped again.

Opening the cover, he saw a series of complex codes, and his expression darkened once more.

It seemed that this disaster wasn't limited to just China; the whole world had already fallen into chaos. The future days indeed needed careful planning...

The next day.

With the zombies gone, the sun was shining brightly.

Standing at the first-floor entrance, Su Ling couldn't believe she was in a post-apocalyptic world if it weren't for the strangely colored sky.

"Aunt Su!"

Gu Kai Xuan appeared beside her, and when he saw Su Ling, he happily ran over.

Su Ling turned and hugged him, ruffling his hair that looked like a watermelon rind.

"How did you sleep last night?"

Gu Kai Xuan said in a childlike voice, "I slept on a really big bed, so comfortable! Is your bed good, Aunt Su? If it's not, I'm willing to share half of mine with you."

"Thank you, little sweetheart. Aunt Su's bed is also very good."

Just as Su Ling finished speaking, Lin Ye appeared from the corridor.

"Sister Su, Mr. Sheng instructed you to move to the third floor."

Su Ling nodded. The third floor was fine, at least the air would be fresher than on the second floor.

Gu Kai Xuan immediately said, "I want to go and see too."

"Sure."

Su Ling liked children very much. As the two turned around, they heard a piercing engine sound, followed by an explosion as if something had hit the iron door.
