Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 920 - 344: Hidden Agendas (Part 2)

"Found it, found it!"

Just as he was feeling extrely anxious, he suddenly heard a shout coming from the direction of the second unit in the distance.

He was taken aback, found it?

He’s still here, who found him?

Instinctively, he hid in the corner, while peering towards the hallway of the second unit.

Then he saw that young man called Captain Lin, accompanied by his old partner Shen Hongi, walking towards the hallway.

Li Hanzhong was instantly alard, "Old Shen!"

Instinctively, he wanted to chase after them, but imdiately stopped.

He knew that he couldn’t show up at this mont. If he did, Miss Qiu could truly act without scruples.

As long as he hasn’t been found by the other party, Miss Qiu, regardless of her intentions, would tread carefully and not harm his wife.

Thinking of this, he quickly retreated, hiding in a secluded spot.

Among the crowd, everyone was rushing towards the second unit, wanting to see who Li Hanzhong was and who found him.

Lin Wu brought Shen Hongi to the second unit, where they found Qiu Yingyue.

Qiu Yingyue looked at Shen Hongi, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Who is she?"

Lin Wu replied quickly, "Sister Qiu, she’s Li Hanzhong’s wife, nad Shen Hongi. Old Huang, you tell her."

He pointed at an old man in a vest from the crowd and shouted.

Old Huang quickly squeezed in with an ingratiating smile, urgently shouting, "Miss Qiu, I found the person, it was ."

Instead of addressing the main issue, he emphasized his contribution.

Qiu Yingyue said indifferently, "Got it. Qin Zihang, give him two sweet potatoes."

Qin Zihang quickly nodded, then had soone bring over two sweet potatoes, handing them to Old Huang.

Old Huang bead with joy, hastily stuffing the sweet potatoes into his pocket, then laughed, "Miss Qiu, this old lady is Li Hanzhong’s wife, nad Shen Hongi. They ca over with in the sa batch."

"Their family and ours are from the sa unit building. I even used to play chess with Li Hanzhong."

"So I’m sure this old lady is indeed Li Hanzhong’s wife."

Hearing this, Qiu Yingyue turned to Shen Hongi and said, "Old lady, where’s your old man?"

Shen Hongi glanced at Qiu Yingyue and asked, "Miss Qiu, we’re just ordinary people. We haven’t done anything bad. Why are you looking for our old man?"

Seeing that she wasn’t denying it, Qiu Yingyue understood that this person was likely indeed Li Hanzhong’s wife.

With a kind smile, she said, "It’s not who’s looking for your old man. Soone you know ca from afar to find you. Look, see that small boat over there?"

"See it? The woman on the boat is Ding Yan, claiming to be a professor at Linjiang University’s School of Engineering, saying she’s a friend of your family. Is there such a thing?"

Shen Hongi squinted her eyes, looking towards the water, but her old eyes were blurry, unable to see clearly that far.

However, her heart was slightly moved; the na Ding Yan was familiar, and the two families had an acquaintance.

But her old man hadn’t spoken up to acknowledge or go to identify them, likely having so considerations, so she couldn’t speak carelessly either.

She then said, "It’s too far, I can’t see clearly."

"Hehe, well, do you know this Ding Yan?"

Shen Hongi hesitated for a mont, then nodded slightly, "I’ve heard of her, sounds familiar. Maybe she’s soone my old man knows, I’m just not too familiar."

Qiu Yingyue’s eyes flickered, and she asked, "Not familiar with you? Then why would she co all this way to look for you and your husband?"

"This... I don’t know either." Shen Hongi shook her head.

Qiu Yingyue suddenly asked, "Is your old man also a professor at Linjiang University?"

Not saying a word, it was Old Huang who imdiately shouted next to her, "Yes, Old Li is a professor at Linjiang University’s School of Shipbuilding, very accomplished. I heard that the first phase of houses at Lishui Garden, the school subsidized a million for their household to buy one."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yingyue instantly showed a look of surprise, "A professor at the School of Shipbuilding?"

She turned her head to look again at Liang Yuan and them, as well as the freighter, and suddenly realized.

So that’s how it is.

These people are looking for Li Hanzhong, probably because of his expertise in the shipbuilding field.

Her eyes flickered, suddenly realizing that Li Hanzhong was indeed a talent.

If she could keep him by her side, it might be very useful for future explorations of Mist City.

Thinking of this, her eyes glimred, and she smiled, "Old lady, where’s your old man?"

Shen Hongi, being wise with age, knew from Qiu Yingyue’s flickering eyes and changing expressions that Xiaoding coming to get them might prove challenging.

She sighed inwardly, wondering how her old man suddenly beca so sought after.

But at this mont, she certainly didn’t dare to expose Li Hanzhong’s location, only managing a wry smile, "Miss Qiu, I don’t know either. I’ve got arthritis, making it hard for to move. I’ve always stayed in that tent."

"Maybe my old man went sowhere to catch fish."

Qiu Yingyue looked at Shen Hongi’s joints, severely deford and swollen, typical signs of arthritis.

Her eyes showed a trace of pity, and she sighed, "Old lady, with such a serious condition, why didn’t you tell us? Since we all live in the sa building, we should help each other."

"Like this, Qin Zihang, take the old lady to my room to rest and find her so pain relief dication."

"Lin Wu, imdiately continue to look for Li Hanzhong, tell him his partner is recovering at my place, and have him co over quickly."

Lin Wu understood, nodding imdiately.

Qin Zihang also ca over and said to Shen Hongi, "Granny Shen, let’s go, I’ll take you to get so painkillers."

Shen Hongi sighed inwardly, seeing through their polite words.

When her arthritis first flared up, Li Hanzhong had begged these superpower users.

But back then, it only resulted in a beating, no dicine was given.

Now, with their politeness, it’s likely to use her to coerce Old Li.

She suddenly felt overwheld with sadness, being old was one thing, but now not only useless, she also beca a burden to her partner.

She really wanted to end it all.

But she was worried, leaving Old Li alone in this world, lonely and without company.

Over there, Lin Wu went out to spread the news, then returned to Qiu Yingyue’s side.

"Sister Qiu, this group is interested in Li Hanzhong’s shipbuilding expertise, right?"

Not being foolish himself, he naturally guessed this.

Qiu Yingyue nodded slightly, "They’ve seized Yangshan and can be self-sufficient. Now they also have a freighter; they probably already have the capacity to build ships."

"To co all this way seeking an old man half-buried in the ground unless there’s sothing important they need this old man to do, there’s no need to waste this effort."

"So what should we do? If we find him, should we hand him over?"

"No rush, find him first and then we’ll talk." Qiu Yingyue smiled slightly.

Lin Wu understood imdiately, nodding.

...

On the small boat on the water, Ding Yan sighed, "Had we known, we should have brought Wu Ying over. With his shadow superpower, sneaking in wouldn’t have been discovered even at close range."

Tu Long said, "Captain Ding, we’re just looking for an ordinary person, are they really not willing to release him?"

Han Xiangman chid in, "Hard to say. Nowadays, these people, even without a nail, will hamr out three. It depends on whether that Ms. Qiu is sensible."

Tu Long cursed, "Damn it, we’ve spoken kindly enough already. If she dares play tricks, I’ll lead people to smash this building to pieces."

Han Xiangman smiled, saying nothing.

Liang Yuan remarked, "Haha, Xiangman is right, the other side probably won’t hand him over so easily. With a bit of inquiry, she should be able to guess why we’re looking for Professor Li Hanzhong."

"For their shelter in this building, soone like Professor Li Hanzhong doesn’t have much use."

"Keeping him would only waste food supplies."

"She probably won’t forcibly keep Professor Li, most likely will ask for so conditions."

"Let’s wait and see. If it’s not too excessive, give her so benefits, prioritizing Professor Li’s safety above all else."

Everyone nodded in agreent, and Li Qinghua added, "I wonder if Zhang Peng has found any clues over there."

Liang Yuan said, "Having Zhang Peng go wasn’t to rescue him directly, but to confirm if Professor Li is really there."

"Once we’re sure Professor Li is there, we naturally have a way to bring him back."

His voice was calm, yet it carried strong confidence.

This made Li Qinghua nod, knowing that among those present, Liang Yuan had every right to say this.

Mr. Liang is the most formidable superpower user he’d t, without a doubt.
