A very Sweet Dream

By the time all the cement bags were finished loading, it was already 12 in the evening.

The parking lot was very quiet, with only the cicadas making clicking noises. There were only a few people loitering around. It was Lu Ren and his cronies.

"That Lu Pig is really harsh. Why can't we hire other workers to carry these cements? Argh, my back is aching."

"Brother Ren, I'm hungry and tired. I only had a bottle of water and a sandwich as dinner. Can we take a break and eat something?"

Lu Ren checked the locks first before waving his hands to dismiss them. "Go on. But remember to return an hour later. We need to hit the road again so we can reach the loading docks tomorrow."

"Just an hour? That's too short." The people groaned, complaining.

"Shut your mouth. That person will skin us alive if we don't deliver the packages on time."

Under Lu Ren's intense glare, the eight people could only leave in frustration. 

When he was finally alone, Lu Ren jumped back on the driver seat after the satellite phone rang.

"Boss, we've finished loading them, and by tomorrow we'll reach the cargo ship."

"Zhou Enlai is waiting on you on that ship at exactly 8 a.m. tomorrow. You better make this right. You already screwed last time, and I won't tolerate such a huge mistake the second time."

The caller speaking on the other side of the phone was Lu Chengyu, and he was referring to Lu Ren's incompetence in not being able to locate Lu Nanzhi. 

Lu Chengyu didn't wait for Lu Ren's response and hang up.

Beep…Beep…

"Damn it, this Lu Pig will also have his day the future." Lu Ren cussed under his breath and clenched the phone tightly in his hand. 

He was already annoyed and irritated at not getting enough rest. Lu Chengyu's bossy attitude only made his mood worse. 

He checked the time on his watch before tucking the gun resting on the passenger seat inside his pants and locking the door of the driver seat.

"Once I've gotten my debt paid..."

Rustle—

After Lu Ren's figure entered the security camera's blind spots, a shadow rushed behind him and smashed the back of his head with a thick wooden log. 

Thump

The force was so great that Lu Ren fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.

Lu Nanzhi exerted all her strength for that swing, turning her whole arms numb. "I'm still too weak." If it wasn't a sneak attack but a frontal assault, she would lose miserably.

Clicking her tongue, she kicked Lu Ren, making sure he was knocked out cold, before squatting down and looting his body off the keys of three trucks and a Glock 19 gun.

Because there was a CCTV, she couldn't take the whole truck.

Covering herself, she took the keys to open the door and found the inside full of cement bags. Towards any kinds of supplies, Lu Nanzhi wouldn't reject them.

"Huh?" Lu Nanzhi pressed her hand on one of the bags, feeling something solid protruding under her fingers.

"A cement bag wasn't supposed to feel like this."

The gears in her mind turned.

A tactical knife and flashlight appeared in her hand. The knife pierced into the bags and made a large tear. The cement sand spilled. Lu Nanzhi saw a black metal box, the size of a shoe box. Inside were four grenades.

That Lu Chenyu was actually planning to smuggle explosives?

Well, even if she caught wind of Lu Chengyu selling his country, it wouldn't cause too much shock to her.

Rather, Lu Nanzhi was more excited. She wouldn't pass the opportunity for that guy to suffer a drawback.

She immediately collected all the cement bags from the three trucks, drove the ten-wheelers into the forest before storing them.

As for Lu Ren. 

Heh. 

…..

Taking advantage of the night, Lu Nanzhi drove to the reservoirs she was eyeing and assembled the suction pumps.

She didn't dry the reservoirs and left a quarter.

This continued for another two nights until she filled all the water tanks.

[Time until disaster: 19 days: 6 hours: 18 minutes]

To finalize her trip, Lu Nanzhi bought local specialties, boxes of snacks, and chocolates, which she will give to Lin Yicheng, as well as luxury items like liquor and cigarettes that can't be found in her country. 

Gazing at the H Country from the airplane's window, Nanzhi leaned comfortably in her seat, dreaming of Lu Chengyu's face turning ugly and whipping Lu Ren and his cronies after finding out his goods were stolen.

What a sweet dream!

…..

Lu Ren was slapped awake three hours later, and the first thing he learned was that the trucks were gone along with the packages. 

In addition to that, he could feel the burning pain in his legs when he tried to move them. 

"Brother Ren! Wake up! We're in trouble!"

Remembering what happened last night, his blood pressure rose. He's finished!

That Lu Pig will hunt him down!

He fainted once again.

The satellite phone rang repeatedly, but none of them answered the call, fearing Lu Chengyu's wrath.

...

Pearl City.

Lu Chengyu received a call from Zhou Enlai that Lu Ren never arrived with the trucks, and he was demanding a full refund.

Raging mad, he punched Lu Ren's phone number so hard that the buttons almost caved in, but after dozens of attempts, Lu Ren never picked up.

"Lu Ren, you bastard!!!" His loud roar almost broke the glasses of his office windows.

The secretary who just came in dodged the flying phone on time before it hit him. 

Crack—
