Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Susu was just about to say that she would wait for her second brother and father to find her before they would leave and continue their journey to the capital city when 008 suddenly said, ‘New mission is now available!’
Tang Susu knew it must be a crucial mission for it to suddenly remind her like that.
She took a look, and it was an A-rank Mandatory Mission: Live in Chongzhou Shelter for 20 days.
Nonetheless, Tang Susu was too tenderhearted to force her family to proceed on their journey in view of their interest in this place. Especially after so many things had happened in the past few days. They had worked so hard, and Shi Shaochen and the others hadn’t come back to witness her handiwork yet.
Thinking about that, Tang Susu smiled and made her decision.
The other three were secretly surprised, but they smiled and said, “Alright, we’ll listen to you!”
Coming to a new place and making new friends was undoubtedly a pleasant experience for them.
Moreover, Wei Chunhua was the director, and they had also convinced Zuo Xun, who had the decision-making power, to side with them. Wouldn’t it be more reliable and comfortable going to You Cheng’s uncle in Ning City?
Wei Chunhua was overjoyed when he heard that they were not departing in the near future. His entire person seemed to have found new energy.
“Alright! With you here, I won’t get bored anymore!”
“But Mr. Wei, your body is not in a good condition. You need to take care of yourself for a while. You don’t have to do everything in the shelter yourself. It’s too tiring,” Tang Susu suggested sincerely.
Wei Chunhua agreed, but he could not help but sigh. “It’s disheartening that my people have been bought off by Shi Shaochen and I have no one else that I can trust. The shelter is in a mess now. I have to clean it up, or else…”
The more he spoke, the more Wei Chunhua’s head hurt. It was as if he had returned to the early stages of his career when he was young. He had to handle all the big and small issues himself.
However, his body was indeed not as healthy as before. He couldn’t help but look at Tang Susu, his eyes full of trust in her.
“Susu, do you have any good ideas?”
Tang Susu looked up at the figure pacing back and forth in the corridor outside the door and smiled.
“With your ability, why don’t you bring an apprentice out to help you run errands? Leave the complicated things to him, and you can easily pull the strings behind the scenes and take charge of the important things.”
This was also Tang Susu’s plan. Being a villain, Zuo Xun’s morality can sometimes be quite questionable.
She was temporarily on the same side as him for her own interests, but it did not mean that she would consider his interests when she acted. She might even hurt the innocents because of this.
“The problem is that there is no one like that right now.” Wei Chunhua couldn’t trust anyone. If it was her… He knew he was indulging in wishful thinking.
“What do you think?” He asked excitedly. “Are you interested in managing a shelter? Your talent would undoubtedly be an asset should you take over. The resources here will undoubtedly be able to help you reach your goals.”
Tang Susu didn’t expect him to suddenly say this. He was obviously treating her as his “successor”, and she was indeed a little tempted!
Ever since she was subjugated by Shi Shaochen and the others previously, she had the idea of forming her own squad. She could also complete that mission and earn more points.
However, after considering the current situation, Tang Susu shook her head.
“I’m sorry, Uncle Wei. I don’t have the ability to do so yet.”
“Why not? This shelter isn’t that big. It’s enough for you to play with!”
Play around… The others’ mouths twitched. They thought about how much he valued the shelter, but he treated it like a toy for Susu to play with. It was obvious that he trusted and doted on her.
Tang Susu was almost seduced by the prospect again. If this shelter fell into her hands, Shi Shaochen and the others would be furious!
Stop!
“To be honest with you, I want our family to become stronger first. Once I have the strength to deal with the dangers outside. I will carry out more plans one by one.”
Wei Chunhua felt that it was a pity. He felt that she had the ability to manage the shelter. He admired her even more now when she could suppress her own desire.
“I’ll be honest with you too, Susu. Shi Shaochen may seem brave, but he doesn’t have your temperament and ability. I think he’s quite ambitious. Especially Ying Chengya… She seems to know a lot of things. The two of them even want to expand their territory and climb to a higher position!”
Tang Susu’s eyes flashed with interest. She naturally knew about the protagonists’ ambition to “unify the world..”
