Chapter 32: "Public Humiliation"
"Daddy""Start now?"
The group outside listened closely. Wasn't that Xiao Mei's voice?
They hadn't expected her to take things so far privately, but it seemed she could really go all in.
Feeling the strange looks from the others, Xiao Mei's face turned pale and flushed with embarrassment. She wished she could tear Su Chen apart for what he had just done.
The b*st*rd, Su Chen, had secretly recorded her voice and played it in front of everyone!This had just made her a laughingstock in front of everyone!
"Let's go!"Zhang Mingyuan glanced at the Normadison, grinding his teeth in frustration, but he had no choice.
Though their plan had failed, the only person who had lost face was Xiao Mei, and there were no other significant losses.
As he watched on the surveillance, Zhang Mingyuan and his group left. Inside the RV, Su Chen wore a cold smirk.
It was undeniable.Even after all the hardships of this environment, Xiao Mei's beauty still stood out!But unfortunately, as Zhang Wuji's mother once said, the prettier a woman is, the more she will deceive you.
Especially someone like Xiao Mei, a venomous woman.If Su Chen had really slept with her and kept her around, he might have ended up repeating the mistakes of his previous life!
But now, Su Chen considered whether he should finally address his physical needs.Although he had everything he needed in the Normadison—food, drink, and plenty of entertainment, including video games and movies—his "second brother" had been suffering from neglect recently.
As Su Chen pondered, there was a soft knock on the RV door.
This time, he wasn't surprised, as if he had expected it.
When Su Chen lowered the glass window, the person standing outside was none other than his ex-girlfriend, Liu Ling'er!
"Ah Chen, are you… okay?"Liu Ling'er hesitated before speaking, her voice soft.
"I'm fine, what could happen to me?"Su Chen chuckled disdainfully.
"Xiao Mei is just a weak woman. What's she going to do, eat me?"Su Chen added with a mocking smile.
"Now that I see you're fine, I can relax."Liu Ling'er gave a small, relieved smile, but still looked hesitant, as if she had more to say. However, she didn't speak any further and turned to leave.
"Wait!"Su Chen suddenly called out to her."This time, Xiao Mei and the others tried to scheme against me, and you warned me beforehand. You helped me out.""I'm a person who remembers both kindness and grudges."
"Here, I've got some food and water for you. This should last you a few days."
Su Chen opened a small compartment in the door, handing out a bag containing food and water.
Indeed, when Xiao Mei and the others decided to confront Su Chen, Liu Ling'er had secretly gone to the RV and told him about Zhang Mingyuan's plan.Though Su Chen had already known Xiao Mei's true nature and wasn't about to fall for her schemes, he decided to send Liu Ling'er some supplies.
Firstly, they had been in a relationship for several years.Though Liu Ling'er had her flaws, she had been manipulated by Xiao Mei.She had also warned Su Chen about the plan, which showed she was still redeemable.
Secondly, Su Chen was considering using Liu Ling'er as an inside informant.He stayed in the RV every day and didn't know what the other survivors were up to.If Zhang Mingyuan, Ah Biao, or anyone else was plotting something, Liu Ling'er could help him react quickly.
Additionally, Su Chen wanted to do something nice for Liu Ling'er—maybe provide her with a better chance of survival in this cruel world.
After receiving the food, Liu Ling'er couldn't believe her eyes!She quickly grabbed the bag, opened it, and devoured the bread inside. She ate hungrily, almost in tears, as the soft bread entered her stomach.
She hadn't had anything like this in a while—after days of surviving on instant noodles, fresh bread was a luxury she hadn't tasted in a long time.
"Ah Chen, thank you so much!"Liu Ling'er ate several pieces of bread before looking up at Su Chen, thanking him sincerely.
"No need to thank me. Actually, there's something I need you to do."Su Chen handed her a small walkie-talkie and instructed her."If anything happens, report it to me immediately, understood?"
His tone was calm, but there was an unmistakable authority in it.
Liu Ling'er couldn't bring herself to resist. She accepted the walkie-talkie obediently, nodding."Okay, I'll do everything you ask."
Su Chen looked at the girl before him, who had become so docile, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.Back when they were together, he had spoiled Liu Ling'er so much, almost treating her like a princess.
But now, everything had changed.
After finishing her meal and taking the walkie-talkie, Liu Ling'er quietly returned to her spot.She had barely hidden the supplies when Xiao Mei suddenly turned over, groggy from sleep.
...
In the days that followed, things remained mostly quiet.The desperate Zhang Mingyuan and his group had no choice but to beg other survivors for supplies.
Luckily, many of the others had already scavenged from the convenience store, so they still had enough food and water for now.
Seeing Zhang Mingyuan's miserable state, many felt pity for him and decided to share some supplies.
However, that night, the underground parking lot was suddenly filled with loud shouting.
"Who's there? What do you want?""Ah…"
