Chapter 2: The Hypocritical and Disgusting Family

As soon as the bathroom door closed, Li Su immediately released her right hand, which had been tightly pressing on the infusion patch, and tore it off. Crimson blood instantly seeped out from the needle hole on the back of her left hand.

Without further thought, she moved the back of her left hand toward her neck, while her right hand pinched the Jade Pendant hanging around her neck, letting it be stained with the scarlet blood.

The next moment, Li Su disappeared on the spot and appeared in a space.

This space was very large, estimated to be about three hundred square meters. It was completely empty, looking like a white, vacant room.

Li Su herself didn’t know how this jade space with storage functionality came to be or why it had such a miraculous ability.

In the third month of the Apocalypse, their group was pursued by Zombies. In the chaos, she was injured by a Survivor, her head and face covered in blood.

After the Jade Pendant hanging around her neck was stained with her blood, the Storage Space abruptly appeared.

At that time, Li Su had no defenses against her family and Fiancé, and she ecstatically revealed her secret to everyone.

For a long time afterward, Li Su became her family’s mobile warehouse. Whether it was food, supplies, or even vehicles, everything was stuffed into her space.

Later, some humans awakened Superpowers, becoming Ability Users, also known as Evolvers.

In the Apocalypse, having one Superpower was already lucky enough. But Li Su seemed to be blessed with fortune, successively awakening Ice Element and Wood Element Abilities, capable of both offense and defense, making her quite formidable.

Since Xu Xiaomin hadn’t awakened any Superpowers initially, Xu Yongmei made various hints and requests, begging Li Su to give the space to Xu Xiaomin.

In the end, unable to withstand her family’s pleas, after several attempts, Li Su reluctantly unbonded from the space and gave the Jade Pendant to Xu Xiaomin.

After Xu Xiaomin obtained the space, she “unintentionally” leaked the secret, quickly gaining the favor of the Base Leaders and securing a minor official position.

Thinking of this, Li Su wished she could slap herself. How could she have been so blind and foolish, failing to see through the true nature of this mother and daughter?

Recalling how Xu Xiaomin looked impatient when she asked for supplies, as if she owed her a fortune, Li Su cursed herself again for being as stupid as a pig, deserving to die even if she did… In the afternoon, at Li Su’s repeated insistence, Li Peng handled her discharge procedures.

After all, there was only one week left until the Apocalypse arrived, and time was tight. She needed to make ample preparations within this week.

In that previous life, her space was activated in the third month of the zombie crisis. Although it was very useful, it didn’t fully realize its true potential.

Since she had been reborn one week before the Apocalypse, she was determined to make a big move.

Although Li Su’s surname was Li, her father, Li Peng, had actually married into the family, what people call a “live-in son-in-law.”

Over the years, Li Su’s mother had managed a Resort, with business doing fairly well, and she had saved a bit of money.

A few months ago, before Li Su’s mother, who was suffering from cancer, passed away, she specifically transferred the family’s three houses to Li Su’s name and left her twenty million in savings.

As for Li Peng, the husband, he only received over three million in savings.

However, since Li Su’s mother had always cherished Li Su as her heart’s treasure, Li Peng didn’t mind this at all.

After all, Li Su had a soft and agreeable personality, so she would surely hand over the money and houses obediently later on.

Now, what Li Su needed to do was quickly sell the Resort and three houses for cash and stockpile supplies.

Still recovering from her illness, she spent the entire afternoon in her room, communicating with agents about selling the houses, without stepping out once.

Xu Yongmei’s attitude was extremely enthusiastic, preparing warm milk and fruit platters, even more attentive than a five-star hotel attendant.

But Li Su wouldn’t expose her intentions. Even the ambiguity between Xu Xiaomin and Li Hui, she chose to ignore.

After all, those people would soon be dead, so why waste time and breath on them?

In fact, dealing with them wouldn’t be difficult at all, but Li Su didn’t want to let them off so easily. She wanted these four to die painfully in fear and regret.

In the evening, Xu Yongmei prepared a lavish dinner, urging Li Su to eat more. During the meal, Li Peng’s eyes flickered, and he seemed on the verge of speaking several times.

Li Su took in his expression but pretended not to notice. Finally, it was Xu Yongmei who “accidentally” noticed his unease.

“Brother Peng, why are you eating so little tonight? Is something on your mind?”

Li Peng sighed accordingly: “It’s nothing much, just a small issue at the Resort. I went there today to check the accounts, but Old Liu treated me like I was invisible, completely ignoring me.”

“Why? Old Liu is just a manager; what right does he have to be so arrogant?” Xu Yongmei retorted, glancing subtly at Li Su.

“He said the owner of the Resort is Su Su, and I have no real authority, not even worth a fart. He only listens to Su Su.” Li Peng’s words weren’t an exaggeration.

Li Su finally responded: “Alright, I’ll go over tomorrow and have a word with Uncle Liu.”

Xu Xiaomin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: “Sister Su Su, that Liu guy is a Troublemaker, not easy to deal with. You’re a woman and so young; you might not be able to control him. It would be simpler to just fire him.”

“Besides, you have your own job and can’t monitor the place 24/7. Others might also deceive you with fake accounts or pull other tricks.”

Li Su nodded seriously: “Yes, you’re absolutely right. I’ll go over tomorrow to set them straight and make them focus, without any nonsense.”

Xu Xiaomin persisted: “But you’re still sick, and the doctor said you shouldn’t overexert yourself. Why not hand over the management to Uncle and let him handle the Rectification?”

“I’ll consider it. Let’s see how things are tomorrow.” Li Su’s expression was very calm, showing no emotion at all.

The Resort was a lucrative asset, with business getting better in recent years. Old Liu was a good friend of Li Su’s mother and completely trustworthy, so Li Su felt particularly at ease.

Li Peng had hinted more than once about taking over the Resort’s management, but Li Su had refused each time.

Although Li Su was an obedient child, she knew Li Peng lacked relevant management experience and was afraid he might mess things up, which was why she hadn’t agreed.

Since she was going over tomorrow anyway, she might as well give Li Peng a huge surprise, letting him suffer for a few days before the Apocalypse arrived.
