Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 703 World 238

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Shen Ruyin, who no longer needed to stay, got into her father's car with her mother.

"When we get to the city, just drop me and Yinyin off at the supermarket."

"When you take the road outside the supermarket, you won't get stuck in traffic and you won't have to backtrack, so you can go straight to work."

"Yinyin and I are also going to the supermarket to buy some things," Shen's mother said, counting a few items on her fingers before asking the father and daughter, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Shen Ruyin turned her head, awkwardly gripping the seat with one hand, and shook her head at her mother.

Mr. Shen thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if the supermarket has any sausages today. If they are, we'll buy some. We haven't had them in a while."

"Okay," Shen's mother glanced at him, "You can make it when you get home from get off work tonight, my cooking isn't very good."

“How could that be? You make the best food,” Mr. Shen said, then pulled his daughter, who was sitting in the passenger seat, up with him. “Yinyin, tell me, isn’t your mother’s cooking the best?”

Shen Ruyin yawned halfway through, then turned to look at her father: "I think Dad, you make the best sausages and other similar dishes. Mom and I can't do it."

Mother Shen laughed: "See, even Yinyin says so. You can come back and make it yourself this afternoon."

Mr. Shen said helplessly, "Then take another look at the frozen river shrimp, buy some chives, and we can stir-fry some river shrimp with chives."

Shen Ruyin interjected, "Let's try our luck at the market for chives. The supermarket only has big chives, which aren't as fragrant as the small ones."

“Sure,” said Mr. Shen. “If you want to buy small leeks, you’ll have to look around. If you can’t find any that come from the suburbs to sell in the city, don’t forget to buy some large leeks.”

What was originally a sleepy journey became exceptionally interesting because we started talking about delicious food.

“Hey,” Mr. Shen noticed a car with its hazard lights on by the roadside ahead, “Isn’t that Zhao Manrou’s father’s car? Why is it stopped here?”

Shen Ruyin's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing her father pull over and unbuckle his seatbelt to get out, she quickly followed him out of the car.

After the father and daughter got out of the car, they headed straight for the driver's seat of Zhao's car.

Seeing that Zhao's father was slumped over the steering wheel and not moving, Shen's father quickly knocked on the car window and tried to open the car door: "Old Zhao, Old Zhao?"

There was only Zhao's father in the car, and the car door must have been locked from the inside, so it couldn't be opened at all.

Shen Ruyin walked around to the windshield and immediately noticed the heavy yin energy emanating from Zhao's father.

Mr. Shen made quite a fuss, but no one responded. He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat on the coolest part of the day: "Yinyin, go get the hammer out of the trunk and tell your mother to call an ambulance."

Shen's mother came downstairs at this moment. Upon hearing Shen's father's words, she immediately went to open the trunk and took out her phone.

Just then, Zhao's father in the car stirred, raised his head, and revealed a face full of exhaustion and dark circles under his eyes.

"Mom, no need, no need," Shen Ruyin quickly called out, "Uncle Zhao is awake."

When Shen's mother closed the trunk and walked over, Zhao's father in the car reacted several beats late.

Mr. Zhao rolled down the car window: "It's Yinyin, Brother Shen, Sister-in-law Shen, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that he was speaking normally, Mr. Shen breathed a sigh of relief. "We came down from the mountain and saw you standing here without moving, so we came to check on you, but you didn't respond no matter how we called you."

"Are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Mr. Zhao wiped his face and said, "It's nothing. I've just been a little too tired these past few days and I don't feel like I'm getting enough sleep."

Shen's mother said, "You're so sleepy you're dozing off while driving. How can you do that? This is a mountain road. If you lose focus even for a moment, it's no joke."

Mr. Zhao nodded and thanked the family, saying, "I'll ask for leave after I get down the mountain so I can go home and get a good night's sleep. I still have to go back up the mountain tonight."

"You're in this condition and you still want to go up the mountain?" Mr. and Mrs. Shen were both surprised.

Mr. Zhao, a beat slow, smiled and said, "It's because Xiaoman wanted to stay in Heishan for a couple more days. Her mother is staying with her at the guesthouse, so I had to travel a bit more. Otherwise, there would be no one home when we got back."

Shen Ruyin noticed that Zhao's father paused for a moment before speaking, but afterwards his speech and behavior were normal. Apart from the heavy yin energy around him, there was nothing else wrong with him.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Shen wanted to offer some advice, it was a family matter. The family had a good relationship, and Mr. Zhao was doing it willingly. If they were to offer their advice, it would seem too much like sowing discord.

In the end, all Shen's father said was, "Driving when you're too tired is a big no-no. You're an experienced driver, don't let something as small as this cause you to fail."

Back in his car, Mr. Shen watched as Mr. Zhao started the car before following him.

Throughout the journey, Mr. Shen did not dare to drive too fast and followed behind. Only after Mr. Zhao successfully descended the mountain and entered the city did he breathe a sigh of relief and complain, "Even if I had to go up the Black Mountain road again, this section would not have been as tiring as this one."

Shen's mother and Shen Ruyin also felt sorry for him: "Just drop us off here. It's not far for us to take the bus. You should go to work and rest."

"A few more minutes won't make a difference," Mr. Shen waved his hand, and followed the original plan, dropping Shen Ruyin and her daughter off near the supermarket before leaving.

After getting out of the car, Shen's mother couldn't help but say, "Your Uncle Zhao is too stubborn. If it were your father, I would be nagging him until next year."

Shen Ruyin took her mother's hand and said, "If it were my father, we wouldn't have given him this opportunity."

“That’s true,” Mrs. Shen was quite confident on this point, as her family was different from the Zhao family.

After buying what she wanted and returning home, Shen Ruyin had made her choice.

She didn't delay and sent a message to Sister Li directly.

In truth, she didn't have many other options to choose from.

After all, her parents are living, breathing people, not clay dolls. Even if she finds a way to protect the house from the elements, there will always be places she can't keep an eye on.

She can't expect her parents to never go out to work, interact with people, or go out to have fun for the rest of their lives, can she?

Therefore, cooperating with the Special Affairs Bureau and being brought under their protection would be more appropriate.

Of course, Shen Ruyin didn't think that Sister Li invited her to join simply because the Special Affairs Bureau lacked trustworthy doctors.

There must be something else about her that caught their eye.

But Shen Ruyin didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

The greater her value, the stronger the protection the Secret Service will provide for her and her family.

If a person has no value to others, why would anyone provide them with opportunities and convenience?

Just to make you happy?

Upon receiving Shen Ruyin's message, Sister Li quickly replied, saying that she would report Shen's situation to Rong Jin within the next two days.

At that time, some things that Sister Li hadn't mentioned before will also be told to Rong Jin so that she can be mentally prepared.

After reading it, Shen Ruyin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and sent a message to Sister Li.

[Sister Li, are there any other hidden benefits if I join the Special Affairs Bureau?]

Sister Li replied to her.

[What do you mean?]

Shen Ruyin cleared her throat, her fingers moving so fast they left afterimages.

Are there many handsome men like Boss Rong in the Special Affairs Bureau?

[Having many handsome male and beautiful female colleagues makes me feel more motivated to start working early and embrace a demanding lifestyle.]
