The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

After dinner, Xin Yi wanted to find an excuse to send Liu Mengting back to sleep, but she noticed that Liu Mengting had also worked all day and looked exhausted.

"Mengting, you've worked hard all day, go home and rest early. I'm tired too. I'll wash the dishes and then go to bed!"

Liu Mengting was indeed tired. "Then I'm leaving. I'll take care of the dishes tomorrow, so don't try to take them from me!"

"Okay, got it!"

No sooner had Liu Mengting left than Xin Yi hurriedly closed the door, returned to her room, and put on a set of black work clothes. These were originally Xin Ren's work clothes that Mei Fang had altered to make them smaller so that Xin Yi could wear them to work. Unexpectedly, they became Xin Yi's night clothes.

After getting dressed, he took out a square handkerchief and casually stuffed five iron nails into his pocket.

As soon as it got dark, Xin Yi locked the room and closed the courtyard gate from the outside, but didn't lock it, deliberately making people think it was locked from the inside. As long as no one came to push it, everyone would think they were at home.

Under the cover of night, Xin Yi concealed herself and successfully entered the deep mountains.

After checking several suitable places for the transaction, but finding no one there yet, Xin Yi had no choice but to find a higher spot to rest and wait for the people to arrive.

Bored out of her mind, Xin Yi fell asleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the night was deep when Xin Yi kicked out of her dream, which woke her up.

She quickly smacked her lips and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

Looking at the moon in the sky, it must be around midnight.

Logically, the people who made the transaction should have arrived by now. No, I still need to go and check on the situation.

Just as Xin Yi was about to stand up, a bright light suddenly appeared from a distance, and Xin Yi quickly fell back to the ground.

Looks like they've arrived. They're really vigilant; they kept me waiting for ages.

Let me see for myself what kind of monsters and demons you are.

No sooner said than done, Xin Yi didn't dare to delay. She lowered her body and slowly moved closer to the light.

Feeling that the distance was about right, and that getting any closer would make her easily discovered, Xin Yi took advantage of the darkness to lie prone in the grass and observe carefully.

One of the men said urgently, "Hurry up and turn off the flashlight!"

"What's there to be afraid of? In these deep mountains and forests, who else could be here besides us?"

Upon hearing the voice, Xin Yi immediately knew it was the man in room 201 who had ill intentions towards her, and continued to eavesdrop.

"Ninth Brother, I told you to be careful! Turn off your flashlight and shut your stinking mouth!"

The ninth brother looked indignant, but dared not argue back. After all, the other brother was the seventh brother and he was the ninth. He could only obediently turn off the flashlight and shut his mouth.

"Did you bring the things?" the seventh brother asked.

The first man to speak took out a file folder and handed it to Lao Qi, saying, "It's all here. You need to send it out as soon as possible!"

Lao Qi opened the folder, took out the contents, and looked at them.

Old Jiu, standing nearby, craned his neck to look as well, unconsciously asking, "Is this the laser...?"

"Shut up!"

Lao Jiu suddenly realized that he had made a very serious mistake, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

Xin Yi, who was in the distance, got the word "laser" and kept thinking back to what kind of laser research China had done in the 1970s in her previous life. Perhaps the historical process of this world was the same as that of her previous life.

Could it be research on long-range laser target practice and laser-guided Sidewinder missiles? This kind of research was one of the few things that China was able to do ahead of other countries in the 1970s. Now that we have come across it, we must preserve it.

The seventh brother continued, "Just hand over the things to us, see you next time."

With that, he solemnly put the file bag into his pocket, turned around and left, with Lao Jiu following behind without saying a word.

The man who delivered the documents didn't take any action after the two left.

Come out, I see you!

Upon hearing this voice, Xin Yi immediately tensed up, hesitating whether she should go out.

He had no choice but to keep a close eye on the man's hands, which were resting on the pistol at his waist, ready to react at the slightest movement.

The man repeated, "Come out, or I'll make you do it!"

This time, Xin Yi noticed that the man's eyes were not looking at her, and she couldn't help but wonder if there were other people lying in ambush here.

After waiting a while longer, the man muttered to himself, "Could it be that I'm really overthinking things?"

After saying that, he shook his head, turned around and walked towards the deep mountains. It seemed that he was going to cross the mountain and leave from the other side. It has to be said that this man was really careful.

Xin Yi looked at the people in both directions, unsure which to chase first. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly saw two figures below. By the moonlight, she realized, "It's him! What's he doing here? Right, he's a soldier. He must be here to intercept the data!"

Seeing the two chasing after the man down the mountain, Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer had to make a choice and immediately decided to chase after the lone man.

But the other party has a gun, and I might lose my life if things go wrong, so I have to outsmart them.

Suddenly, Xin Yi had an idea. She quickly took off the black work suit that was covering her and hid it where she was.

Under the cover of darkness, they took a shortcut past the man and found a place to sit down.

He grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and smeared it on his face, then took off his ponytail, messed it up, sprinkled some dry leaves on his head, and tore his clothes a little to smear dirt on them as well.

With everything ready and sensing that the man was almost there, she pinched her inner thigh hard, instantly bursting into tears, and began to put on an acting show.

"Why is my life so miserable? To get married, I severed ties with my family. Before I could even give my husband a child, that short-lived man abandoned me and died. My heartless in-laws even sold me into marriage in the deep mountains! They're trying to force me to my death! What should I do? Can anyone tell me? Waaah..."

Xin Yi was wailing and crying, and the man had already heard her. Out of caution, it was unusual for a woman to appear in the deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night, so he stood at a distance and did not approach, wanting to see what Xin Yi was really like.

Xin Yi knew the other person was already nearby, and she had to continue crying to lower their guard.

"Even if I managed to escape, what good would it do? I can't go back to my parents' home, and my in-laws are heartless; they wish they could eat my flesh and drink my blood. I might as well be dead. Heavens above, earth below, I shouldn't have gone against my parents' wishes and married this short-lived man; then I wouldn't be in this state now..."
