“What’s going on?!”
“We’ve been robbed! It must be a thief!”
“Find the gold! Where are those two boxes of gold?!”
A few people rushed inside like mad, only to be met with a scene of utter chaos.
Balloons were crushed underfoot, gifts were gone, luxury items and brand-name goods were reduced to scattered empty boxes. The entire room had been ransacked beyond recognition. The two boxes of gleaming gold bars—and the cabinet full of jewelry and luxury goods—had completely vanished.
Li Su silently mouthed: Ha!
“Yo, Miss Lin specially wanted me to see this?” Li Su leaned against the doorframe, unable to hide her smile. “Alright, I’ve seen it. Congratulations on your engagement—may your future life be just like this room: total chaos and complete worthlessness!”
With that, she clapped her hands, turned, and walked away, her expression full of satisfaction.
“Stop right there! Li Su, was this you?!” Zhao Qiang rushed forward to block her path, his muscular frame tense and intimidating.
But Li Su wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she felt pleasantly surprised.
Perfect—just what I needed.
Her family still needed abilities. A boxer’s ability delivered right to her doorstep.
She activated her skill instantly: [Even Open Robbery Is Mine]
[Acquired: Boxer’s Right Hand (44%)]
Oh—this time it was even higher than before. Last time was 33%. It seemed this group’s combined luck was barely above zero, so even standing near them made her stronger.
Li Su’s mood improved further. She coldly spat one word:
“Get lost.”
“Su Su, did you really do this? Why would you—” Lin Tianrou asked softly, her tone hurt, but her eyes flickered with hidden satisfaction. If Li Su really did it, then she could continue humiliating her.
“Li Su! Tianrou kindly invited you, and you came here to steal and ruin her engagement?!” Wu Xiaomei yelled while dialing 110. “I’ve called the police—you’re going to jail!”
“Go ahead,” Li Su said lightly. “If I did it, let them arrest me. But honestly, I don’t even care about your little junk.”
She turned and walked into the elevator, Li Yang following a step behind.
Suddenly, Zhao Qiang’s eyes turned vicious. He reached out toward the child.
They all knew Li Yang was her weakness—so they wanted to use the child as leverage.
But the five-year-old boy seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He dodged instantly, bent his knees, and leapt.
Two meters.
He landed lightly inside the elevator.
The doors closed immediately.
The red floor numbers dropped from 6 to 5, reflected clearly in the stunned eyes of those outside.
A robbery scene full of missing gold—and now a child who could leap two meters. Everything defied logic.
“That kid… did he awaken an ability too?” Wu Xiaomei’s voice trembled.
A five-year-old jumping two meters—was Li Su hiding something from them?
Lin Tianrou shook her head, nails digging into her palm.
Something was wrong.
Too many things were wrong.
Li Su’s calmness, Li Yang’s strange ability, and the stolen gold—they formed an invisible net tightening around her.
“Jianchen!” she turned abruptly, face pale.
The man’s expression was cold as ice, darkness swirling in his eyes.
“Hire a private investigator immediately. Track them mother and son 24 hours a day. I want to know exactly what Li Su is hiding.”
The sixth-floor hallway was frozen in silence.
At the back, Chen Miao felt the oppressive atmosphere but didn’t understand what had happened.
“Did Li Yang… always have abilities?”
Wu Xiaomei’s face darkened.
Lin Tianrou shook her head.
At that moment, Li Dadong’s gaze swept across the group. In a low voice only they could hear, he said:
“If needed… just kill that mother and son. I’ve killed my own people before. Clean and simple—kill them and take everything.”
Not far away, behind a fire door in the stairwell—
Li Su, who had taken the stairs up to eavesdrop, froze.
Because her enhanced hearing caught every word clearly.
So that was it.
The real murderer in her past life—the one who robbed her family, killed her pregnant sister-in-law, crippled her brother, and caused her father’s disappearance…
Was not random survivors at all.
It was Li Dadong.
The so-called cousin she had always trusted.
The family she had always supported.
She had been helping the very person who destroyed her own family.
Her body trembled with rage, eyes turning red.
“Mom…”
A small figure suddenly hugged her leg.
Li Yang looked up at her with calm, dark eyes, gently pressing his head against her.
His lips moved silently:
“Mom, don’t cry.”
The warmth from the child’s body softened her instantly.
She bent down and picked him up.
Her resolve hardened like steel.
Back in the apartment, her phone vibrated.
Chen Miao had finally started using a throwaway account.
[Three Drops of Water]: Jianchen hired a private investigator to follow you! What happened between you two??
[Three Drops of Water]: Police came! Checked the surveillance—found nothing. It’s like the stuff vanished into thin air. Wu Xiaomei and the others are furious but can’t prove anything. LOL.
[Three Drops of Water]: Also—an oil transport ship is arriving at the port the day after tomorrow! The Paramon Raider is on it too! I’ll take pictures for you!
Li Su slowly read through everything.
Then she smiled.
An oil transport ship.
Perfect.
In the apocalypse, the scarcest resources are food and energy.
Jianchen would definitely take the oil.
After all, the Paramon Raider is extremely fuel-hungry.
Now he had it all:
The Paramon Raider.
Spatial ability.
And an oil transport ship.
Transportation, storage, and energy—the essential “three-piece set” of the apocalypse.
He had gathered everything needed for survival.
Unfortunately for him—
she was going to take it all first.
