She turned around to return to his place, but a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared behind her. The soldier that she had just knocked out had reported this matter quickly after he regained consciousness. A large

number of soldiers were rushing over. Su Shanshan had no choice but to leave first.

When Su Shanshan returned to the eastern district villa, it was already very late. The entire villa was quiet. She did not switch on the lights and prepared to walk in quietly. However, the moment she entered, the lights

were switched on.

Jinsi was sitting in the living room.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Su Shanshan asked curiously.

Jinsi was still wearing his signature gold-framed glasses. He adjusted them gently. “I was waiting for you,” he said.

Susanna’s interest was piqued. She sat down opposite him and said, “What do you want from me?”

Jinsi looked up at her with a serious look in his eyes and said, “Ms. Su, I don’t know why you suddenly agreed to join the Leaping Mercenary Group, but we did become stronger because of you, and it made my plan

feasible.”

Su Shanshan raised her eyebrows. She had always felt that this man was not simple. He was definitely not as simple as a bodyguard. His words piqued her interest. She asked, “What’s your plan?”

“Establish a base.” He added, “Establish a base that belongs to us.”

Su Shanshan was shocked. She did not expect him to be so ambitious.

Jinsi continued, “What’s worse in the apocalyptic era is the human heart. If we don’t have our own base, we won’t have any say. Once there’s any risk, we’ll be abandoned. And if we want to survive in the apocalyptic era,historical

we need a research facility, right?”

Su Shanshan was even more surprised. She did not expect him to be able to think so profoundly. He was right. In the late stages of the apocalypse, power was not what truly mattered. It was all kinds of drugs and

research outcomes.

However, she refused.

“Sorry, I have something important to do. I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

Jinsi was not disappointed with her rejection, as if he had already anticipated it. “Ms. Su, you don’t have to answer me so quickly. This matter won’t happen so soon. Now, what I want to discuss with you is the matter of

the Southwestern base. In a few days, all the major bases will be gathering at the Southwestern base for a meeting. The meeting will be about going to City K’s underground research institute to get research materials.

If our mercenary group can become the top five in the base, we will be qualified to participate.”

Su Shanshan’s heart skipped a beat. This meant that she would see Gu Jincheng at the meeting, and she might be able to attend the operation in City K with him.

She did not agree immediately but studied Jinsi. “You seem to know my business very well?”

Jinsi said very frankly, “We’ll be partners from now on. I naturally want to know your background.”

Su Shanshan smiled and extended her hand to him. “Happy to be working together!”

Jinsi smiled too and took her hand gently. His eyes, shielded by his glasses, flashed with pleasure.

Su Shanshan returned to her room and, as usual, tried the Tang sword before taking a rest.

Gu Jincheng did not sleep well the entire night. His dreams were filled with that woman named Su Shanshan. In his dreams, that woman changed from beating and scolding him in real life to obediently calling him

brother.

He froze when he lifted the blanket and felt something wet at his crotch. Realizing what it was, he cursed and quickly changed out of his pants. He heaved a sigh of relief after washing up.

He stood in the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. There was a big black bruise on his left eye. It was the woman who had hit him yesterday. He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t let me catch you again.

Otherwise, I’ll.. I’ll..”

Thinking about it, the swift and decisive Gu Jincheng suddenly realized that he actually did not know how to punish that woman..
