Chapter 398

Lin Qianhuan smiled and shook her head, holding Ye Anqi’s hand in return.
“Don’t be so polite with me. Helping you defend the Beiling Base is actually for the sake of defending the Xiangyang Base.
The fate of all Chinese survivors is tied together. The more people who survive, the greater our chances of winning.
Go ahead and do it. I’ll be standing behind you.”
The two quietly looked at each other, their clasped hands conveying warmth and strength.
The wind and snow grew heavier, and Lin Qianhuan and Ye Anqi’s first target was Building 1.
The person in charge of this building was Ye Anqi, so there weren’t any major problems to solve.
After the supplies were distributed, the two hurried to Building 2.
Three official Superpower team members lived in this building. They were all a little surprised to see Ye Anqi.
They hurriedly welcomed her into the house. After understanding Ye Anqi’s intentions, the three said they would definitely cooperate with her actions.
“Base Leader, the building head of this building is still somewhat conscientious.
Although he’s greedy, he also left a way out for the residents in the building. The supplies and charcoal distributed daily are still sufficient, not to make everyone’s lives too miserable.
This guy also has a wife, children, and elderly parents. It’s easy to turn him around by grabbing his weakness.”
After careful consideration, Ye Anqi nodded: “Indeed, we always need a spy to understand Gao Rongguang’s movements, and the building head of Building 2 is perfect for that.
Song Wen, you come with me to the building head’s house and bring his parents, wife, and children to live in Building 1.
Don’t mistreat them materially, but you must keep an eye on them, using them as hostages to threaten the building head.”
In order to win this battle, Ye Anqi could only use some extreme measures.
Song Wen, a Gold Superpower user with a not low level, nodded heavily when he heard this, his eyes seeming to flicker with flames.
Finally, this day has come, and it’s time to properly settle accounts with the evil forces under Gao Rongguang!
The building head of Building 2 was indeed greedy, but he wasn’t an evil person who disregarded human life.
In order to make his family live a good life, he would usually deduct some of the residents’ supplies, but he didn’t dare to take too much and would be content.
When he opened the door and saw Ye Anqi, he only felt that the sky was about to fall.
“Ba… Base Leader…”
Zhou Deyi felt his legs weaken and almost knelt in front of Ye Anqi.
He did hear rumors that Ye Anqi would distribute supplies from house to house.
But he never expected that she would come to Building 2 first.
He wasn’t ready yet! What if he was killed by this fickle leader?
Just as Zhou Deyi was racking his brains for a countermeasure, he saw Song Wen leading people into the house and taking his parents, wife, and children out.
“Base Leader! What do you mean by this!
Where are you taking them? Quickly tell Song Wen to let go!”
Zhou Deyi was a filial son, and a responsible husband and father.
For him, family was the best weakness to exploit.
Ye Anqi didn’t answer him, but instead instructed Song Wen.
“Don’t alarm the hidden eyes when you take people away.”
“Okay, Base Leader, don’t worry.”
Song Wen took Zhou Deyi’s family away, and the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s breathing could be heard.
There were four charcoal braziers in the room. Although the temperature wasn’t too high, it was much better than the homes of ordinary survivors.
The silent torment and the departure of his family almost drove Zhou Deyi crazy.
He could no longer restrain his feelings and walked quickly to Ye Anqi.
“Base Leader, those things before were all my idea alone. If you want to beat me or punish me, just come at me, don’t touch my family!
They are innocent!”
Ye Anqi chuckled: “Your family is innocent, but are the residents in the building who are hungry and cold innocent?”
Zhou Deyi shook his head frantically: “I didn’t! I only embezzled a little bit of supplies, which wouldn’t make the residents of Building 2 go hungry and cold at all.
I also have parents and family, and I haven’t lost my conscience to that extent!”
Ye Anqi stared at him: “Just because you didn’t, doesn’t mean other building heads and district chiefs didn’t.
Zhou Deyi, do you remember why you wanted to be this building head in the first place?”
The man, called by name, lowered his head guiltily, hesitant to respond.
In the beginning, he was also full of enthusiasm, wanting to seek welfare for the grassroots residents and wanting to lead the residents in the building through this extreme cold.
But he eventually forgot the road he came from and forgot the promises he once made.
Ye Anqi let out a breath of stale air and continued: “Don’t worry, I will send someone to take care of your family, and nothing will happen to them.
I won’t deduct their food and daily necessities either.
Of course, all of this comes with conditions.”
Zhou Deyi nodded quickly: “I promise! I promise everything!
Base Leader, my mother has heart disease, and my father’s health is not good either.
I know you are a good person. I am willing to do anything you ask me to do, I only ask you not to let my family suffer.”
Lin Qianhuan stood aside and only felt that Zhou Deyi was a very contradictory person.
To say he was evil, he wasn’t as evil as Hao Chengzhi and Gao Rongguang, and he managed Building 2 fairly well.
To say he was good, he would embezzle the residents’ supplies.
Human nature is so complex. In a dangerous environment, people are selfish, and the first thing they think of is always their own family.
Ye Anqi walked to the sofa and sat down, quietly looking at the nervous Zhou Deyi.
“I want you to help me find out Gao Rongguang’s movements and report his next actions to me at any time.
If you can do that, I will naturally take good care of your family.”
