Chapter 175 - 175: Interrogation
Tang Susu gritted her teeth. It had only been half a month, and her second brother seemed to have become more skilled in his martial arts!
However, Bo Yanhui didn’t seem to mind. He was still lying on the ground and posed in a sexy and alluring style. “This must be your little sister, Susu. You can just call me Yanhui…”
That rippling tone, coupled with his seductive eyes, almost engraved his frivolous nature into his bones.
Tang Susu looked at him carefully. Seeing that his eyes were clear and didn’t have any hint of intimacy, she decided not to take it seriously.
Some people just liked to flirt.
However, Cheng Cheng couldn’t bear to look at him and looked away. “My family is still waiting for me. I’ll make a move first.”
Hearing her say “family “instead of “Xiaoyuan”, Tang susu’s heart skipped a beat. “Thank you for helping me find my brother.”
Tang Mingchu also came over and formally thanked her and it made Cheng Cheng feel embarrassed. “It’s just my duty. You’re welcome.”
In fact, she had been trying to repay the Tang family’s kindness in a lot of ways. Cheng Cheng’s eyes darkened.
“Hey, why does that woman run away every time she sees me?”
Bai Yanhui got up from the ground gloomily. He looked at Tang Susu and smiled. “You’re still the cutest…!”
Seeing that his foot was quite badly injured from being dragged away by the vine, Tang Susu suspected that he might not be as simple as he looked despite his smiles.
While they were talking, the people from Qingzhou Shelter rushed up and looked at Tang Mingchu in disbelief.
“You were swept away by that long vine! How are you still completely fine?!”
“Can’t it be because of my good luck? Don’t tell me that you all wish something to happen to me?” Tang Mingchu glared at them.
They immediately fawned over him. “We wouldn’t dare! You’re a lucky man, and even the gods will help you. You will definitely be fine!”
“That’s right. As expected of our boss! Even those huge vines can beat him!”
Tang Mingchu did not even lift his eyes. He sneered, “Don’t think that I didn’t notice how fast you bastards ran when I was in trouble!
They were so scared that their faces turned pale. Thinking of how fierce the man had been after joining the shelter, they shivered even more.
Tang Susu looked at this scene with amusement. If that gorgeous woman hadn’t come over, they would have kneeled down and begged for mercy.
“This is the chief of Qingzhou Shelter, Lu Yunxiang. People call her ‘Boss Xiang’. She’s quite capable.”
Tang Mingzhou introduced them to her in a whisper. “The person beside her is her confidant and administrator. He’s the one who usually handles most matters. His surname is Duan. The ten or so people behind him are either thugs or bodyguards. They’re all pretty good at fighting. There arc also two metahumans, they manipulate earth and metal each.”
Tang Susu instantly knew who she was dealing with.
Lu Yunxiang quickly walked from the forest to the Tang family in her high heels.
“Did you kill the mutant vine?” She asked.
Then her eyes swept over them carefully. “Could it be that some of you have superpowers?”
Mr. Duan looked troubled. “According to the shelter’s rules, you should have told us the truth about your situation. Forget about the fact that Ms. Lin Cuiying has a superpower. Why don’t you tell us everything now? It’ll be easier for us to manage the shelter this way!”
“That’s right. Do you not want to contribute to the shelter by hiding your power?”
“We’ve worked so hard to keep the shelter safe, not for you to enjoy your life!” The thugs and bodyguards were all filled with righteous indignation.
“Look at what you’re saying. We don’t have superpowers, but do you think we’ve done any less than you?” Tang Mingqi scoffed. “As for my mother, she might have triggered and activated her superpower because of the stress at the time. It’s not like want to hide anything.”
Manager Duan was skeptical. They had always suspected that the Tang family had some powerful means, but after a few tests, they only found out that they had extraordinary skills.
However, they were indeed stronger than all the metahumans in their shelter combined, so they couldn’t afford to offend them.
“We mean nothing by that. It’s just that the mutant vine isn’t something that can be easily to deal with. We want to know what method you use. If we encounter a similar situation again…”
“Explosives.” Tang Susu’s face didn’t blush, and her heart didn’t beat any faster. “You saw it too. That area was blown up beyond recognition.”
Lu Yunxiang was just about to frown and questioned her when she heard her slowly say, “But the real weakness is salt. Those tree roots arc afraid of salt. After it was easily worn out, it can be easily dealt with explosives.”
“Tree roots?”
“Salt?!”
The group of people were shocked and didn’t even have time to think about where she got the salt.
“It’s that simple?”
It wasn’t that simple, of course. After all, not everyone could carry so much salt on them and thought of this method.
Lu Yunxiang immediately gave Mr. Duan a look.
Tang Susu knew that they were going to verify it, so she wasn’t afraid of revealing anything.
One reason she liked to use talismans was that every time they used the talismans up, the talismans would burn away into ash, leaving not even a scrap.
On the other hand, his two brothers had probably thought of this long ago and used five-element talismans to blow up all traces of the scene.
Noticing her gaze, the two of them couldn’t help but soften their hearts and blink at her.
Tang Susu smiled.
Mr. Duan quickly returned with a handful of soil, and there was indeed a layer of white salt on it.
“It’s really salt?”
Tang Mingchu and his lackeys immediately ignored Lu Yunxiang and the others who were beside them and started to flatter her. “You’re so amazing. How did you think of this?”
“Use your brain.”

“Can we go now?” Mr. Tang was getting impatient. In terms of contribution, they had done a lot in the shelter for half a month, and they had already lived up to what they had gotten, yet they still had to be interrogated like this.
“I’m sorry, Xiao Li, drive them back,” manager Duan quickly said.
“No need,”
The family left in a hurry, emanating a sense of closeness that outsiders could not blend in with.
Bo Yanhui looked at their backs and sighed. “That’s great. They’re all together now.”
“Master Bai, should I have Xiao Li send you back?” Mr. Duan’s tone was respectful.
After getting into the car, Tang Susu finally felt a little relieved. She lazily leaned back in the chair and said, “I guess they are suspecting us.”
“What are you afraid of? They can’t beat us, anyway.” Tang Mingqi said nonchalantly as he turned the steering wheel, full of confidence.
“That’s not necessarily the case. We’re not the only ones who know how to hide our strength in this post-apocalyptic world.”
Tang Mingzhou’s words alerted them once again.
Tang Susu thought for a moment. “I don’t know much about the Qingzhou Shelter, but I remember that the manager is a wood ability user. I don’t know if it’s them, or it’s someone else…”
On the other side, after everyone had left, Mr. Duan leaned over to Boss Xiang’s ear and whispered something.
“They must have taken it.” The woman’s expression was gloomy. She thought of the mutated plant that they had been standing guard over for so long, waiting for the right time to kill it and get its crystal core. Now, it was all but a fleeting dream. She couldn’t help but show a gloomy expression.
Then she suddenly laughed.
“Find out who the man that girl brought back is. His name, his looks, and what
his relationship with that girl is….”
