55 -53: Planning Before Departure

They could never have imagined that Su Mo would break through with Su Niang as her breakthrough point, the woman who had been causing them trouble would eventually turn sides.

After the conversation ended, to avoid waste, Su Mo dumped the last two bowls of tea into Jianxiong’s stomach, washed the cups, and then the three of them went downstairs to run together.

On the road, they encountered Zhao Xiweng, who was being supported by Mo Yan’s people and had her foot wrapped in bandages.

They all tacitly pretended not to see her as they passed by.

From then on, Zhao Xiweng wholly belonged to Mo Yan’s team.

Su Mo stretched diligently, and compared to yesterday, she could now handle running ten laps, though not as fast as the other two, but she could still grit her teeth and keep up with some energy to spare.

A calm yet turbulent day just passed by.

This was their last day in the prison.

Su Mo got up early, as usual, to run and eat as if nothing was wrong.

However, Su Niang had a worried look all day and even gave Su Mo a few meaningful glances while serving her food.

Su Mo blinked and gave her a reassuring smile.

She found a table, and the three of them sat down to eat.

“Let’s leave later, Su Niang is looking for me,” she whispered while taking the opportunity to speak softly as she drank her porridge.

“Hmm,” Lu Chen bit into a bun, gently knocking on the table with one hand.

Jianxiong quickly finished the food on his plate.

Su Mo handed him another bun, and the three of them sat in the cafeteria, chatting as they ate until the crowd dispersed.

Someone came to collect their plates, and except for Su Niang, all the other women who had finished their chores started to leave, then she finally waved to Su Mo.

“You two wait here,” said Su Mo as she stood up and entered the little door opened by the woman, wearing a worried expression.

“Su Niang, what’s the matter?”

Su Niang, pulling her behind the door, whispered, “Li Qian wants to see you both alone.”

“Hmm?” Su Mo looked at her questioningly, “Where?”

A crack opened in the kitchen partition, and that familiar polite voice came through, “Miss Su Mo.”

“Have you been here all morning?” Su Mo chuckled.

Had he calculated that they would definitely come?

Li Qian touched his nose, saying amiably, “Come in and we’ll talk.”

Su Mo nodded, patted Su Niang’s hand, went out to call Lu Chen, left Jianxiong to watch the door, and the two entered the partition.

“Admiral Lu,” he greeted Lu Chen politely.

Lu Chen leaned against the door, chin slightly raised, looking at him coldly.

“Su Niang told me something, I want to confirm where you both were that night,” Li Qian got straight to the point.

The two knew what he was referring to.

Su Mo’s eyes shifted as she said with a grin, “On the rooftop.”

“Miss Su Mo, I doubt the truthfulness of your words,” Li Qian touched his nose, his expression displeased.

Su Mo’s smile faded, and she spoke seriously, “Weren’t you distracted that night?

I saw everything clearly.”

Li Qian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, remembering his superpower didn’t work on this girl, he asked, “Why did you tell me this through Su Niang?”

“Ah, don’t misunderstand,” Su Mo grinned, “I was just worried about Su Niang’s safety, that’s why I let her know.

Aren’t you concerned?”

Li Qian’s eyes fluctuated as he walked over to a shelf and picked up a potato, playing with it in his hand, “What did Su Niang tell you?”

“Nothing much, I could just see that the two of you are close, so I thought I’d help her out,” Su Mo replied.

Li Qian clearly didn’t believe her words, but what Shen Du had done behind his back had touched his raw nerve, he furrowed his brows, “What are you plotting?”

“You being here, you must have some idea of what’s going on already, why ask us?” Su Mo, standing by the shelf and looking at various ingredients, arched her eyebrow.

“You think you can usurp their nest?

Where is the strength?” Regarding this, Li Qian only harbored a skeptical attitude, not expecting Lu Chen to nod decisively, his eyes showing his determination to win.

This person, who put Old Shen Du on high alert, made Li Qian ponder.

He tentatively asked, “Is Admiral Lu’s superpower Devour?”

Devour?

Su Mo and Lu Chen exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

“No,” he replied coldly.

“Heh,” Li Qian just chuckled slightly, clearly not believing his answer, “So…

Admiral Lu has Dual Abilities?

Then, is the body also in your Space?”

“It’s with me,” Su Mo stepped forward, conjuring a can of tea leaves and showing him as if putting it away, then she looked up and smiled, “I can’t show you the body, it would dirty the floor.”

Li Qian’s smile vanished in an instant, his expression turning to one of astonishment; his previous speculations in front of Old Shen Du were all incorrect—this formidable man really was a Dual Ability User, and this woman had a Space superpower, perfectly intact on her.

“No wonder your body is so healthy,” he murmured, staring at Lu Chen.

Dual Ability and the Space superpower that blocks spiritual power.

Li Qian paced back and forth beside the shelves, seemingly assessing the feasibility of the situation in his mind.

His thoughts became active, flashes of Su Niang’s kind face, Old Shen Du’s broken body, and the scene where Hao Hu turned into a dog crossed his mind.

Seeing Lu Chen’s combat prowess had given him ideas about taking over the prison in place of the original occupants…

“Do you have a plan?”

“That depends on your sincerity,” Su Mo replied with a smile.

“Perhaps we can reach an agreement.”

Old Shen Du had always been reticent with him, which would be a problem in the future.

He made up his mind right then, breaking the potato he was holding in half and passed one half to Su Mo.

“That’s more like it,” Su Mo, still smiling, took the potato.

The three of them officially discussed tomorrow’s details.

Of course, neither she nor Lu Chen mentioned the bomb when Li Qian asked about the native residents; they simply said they had a way.

They did not fully trust him, but Li Qian did not mind; since they had a method, he did not need to exhaust that effort and just needed to keep a way out for himself.

“There’s such a superpower!” Su Mo exclaimed, finding it hard to believe after hearing Li Qian’s explanation about the Devour superpower.

Using one’s own health to steal someone else’s skills through fusion—that would be unfortunate for anyone, no wonder Old Shen Du looked so aged.

“Because of the misunderstanding brought by Admiral Lu, Shen Du plans to kill you two then absorb Zhao Changsheng’s skills,” Li Qian explained again.

“No wonder that day you were looking for some medication for him, it was to deal with that woman.”

Su Mo remarked, realizing the whole truth.

“Thunder power, can be kept,” Lu Chen, who had been quiet, suddenly said.

Su Mo knew well that if Zhao Changsheng found out he had been tricked, he would not let it go; they would increase their chances of success.

“I can handle this,” Li Qian nodded, obviously also having thought of a solution.

“Then, see you—to-mor-row,” Su Mo waved at him, and with Lu Chen opening the door, they both left.

“Does the supermarket warehouse have anything to do with you?” Li Qian asked from behind.

Su Mo paused, then turned and smiled, “You guess?”

She didn’t spell it out, but gave enough of a hint.

Li Qian did not ask further.

Su Niang had been staying outside, occasionally checking the surroundings, but with Jianxiong standing guard, nothing happened.

“Su Niang, relax, it will be alright,” Su Mo waved to her, calling Jianxiong, and the three of their shadows disappeared at the cafeteria entrance.

At such a time, how could Su Niang keep calm?

Her hands constantly wrung the apron she wore, and upon seeing Li Qian emerge, she quickly asked with concern, “How did it go, those foreigners like me…”
