"Yeah!" Zhou Shuwan also felt that he might be too sensitive. He nodded, walked back to the master bedroom, and asked his mother and Mu Mu to take a shower.
She also wanted to go back to the second bedroom to change clothes, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Shuwan went to open the door, it was Qi Mingyu!
The latter saw her, put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.
Zhou Shuwan's eyes flashed and he stepped aside.
Qi Mingyu looked into the room, motioned Zhou Shuwan to stand at the back, and then he walked in slowly, observing the surrounding decoration.
He found a bug in a vase on the antique shelf and threw it out with an expressionless face.
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai also stood at the bedroom door and looked out.
Zhou Shuwan made a gesture to silence them.
The two men looked at the eavesdropping device that Qi Mingyu took out of the vase, and their expressions became solemn.
Qi Mingyu went to the dining room and kitchen, and found a bug behind the spice rack in the kitchen.
It is also found in the master bedroom and the second bedroom.
As he threw out more and more eavesdropping devices, the Zhou family members became more and more solemn, including the confused Mu Mu, who knew that something bad had happened.
After carefully searching the upper and lower floors of Zhou's house twice, they finally found 6 eavesdropping devices.
Qi Mingyu looked coldly at the pile of flashing things in front of him. Zhou Shuwan took out a red brick from somewhere and handed it to him.
He took it, raised his eyebrows, and smashed all the eavesdropping devices to pieces.
Then everyone gathered in the kitchen to talk.
Zhong Tiyun couldn't wait to ask, "Who installed this? Who sneaked into our house?"
Zhou Shuwan looked at Qi Mingyu: "Do you have any at home too?"
The latter nodded: "Yes. We also have five or six at home."
"What do they want to do? They didn't steal anything after entering the house, but they installed this bug. What do they want to know?"
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun turned their gazes to Zhou Shuwan at the same time. The biggest secret of their Zhou family was Zhou Shuwan's space.
Zhou Shuwan shook his head: "It must be the trouble we caused when we exchanged for air-conditioned clothes this time!"
Qi Mingyu also nodded. "That's my guess. They installed the eavesdropping device because they have a bigger agenda. They want the relocation site for the coal and iron ore resources we exchanged for."
A trace of fear appeared on Zhong Tiyun's face: "Then what should we do?"
Anyone who can afford to install eavesdropping devices must be from a powerful background. What should they do if such a person wants to deal with them, the common people?
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other and already had someone they suspected.
Since they were giving out so much energy at once, they suspected that someone might be greedy, so they were very cautious when exchanging it.
When everything returned calm, Zhou Shuwan thought he was overthinking it.
It seems that it is indeed coveted by others, but I don’t know which group of people it is?
Is he someone within the government? A gang in cahoots with the government? Or is he the scheming Second Lieutenant Jiang Lin?
Qi Mingyu said, "In the next period of time, both our families must be extra careful and not sleep too deeply at any time. I suggest that we start scheduling shifts and pay attention to the situation outside."
Zhong Tiyun thought for a moment and said, "Should we hide? No one knows about Xiaoyu's underground safe house except us!"
Originally, she had always felt that it was a bit embarrassing for her family of four to go to someone else's safe house for nothing.
Now, I can’t care about it.
Zhou Shuwan shook his head: "No, this matter cannot be solved by us hiding away. Whether we hide in a safe house or an underground base, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It's too dangerous!"
"Yes, there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Wanwan and I agree. We must take the initiative to attack!" Qi Mingyu also said.
Zhou Shuwan was silent for a long time before speaking, "If it's really someone like Jiang Lin, an officer in the army, who's become greedy, then our chances of winning are only 30%."
Since the end of the world, the enemies they have faced are all civilians, and at most some ruthless thugs, but they have not received formal training and even have limited weapons.
Therefore, the two of them were able to gain the upper hand.
However, facing a group of regular troops that are organized, strategic and well-armed, their chances of winning are really too slim.
"I suggest we ask Mayor Lu for help!" She looked at everyone. "Mayor Lu may have given up hope, but these past few encounters, as well as the events at the survivors' apartment and the Tzu Chi apartment, have made me feel he has a good heart. He would never allow his men to do such a thing!"
"Besides, he's in such a high position. If he wants something, there's definitely a bunch of people rushing to give it to him. They wouldn't look down on us, the little guys! So, I think with so many people in the service hall right now, they can't escape suspicion, but he's the only one who must be unaware of this!"
Qi Mingyu pondered slowly and said, "Our two families are just ordinary survivors. We tried our best and spent half of our net worth to buy air-conditioned clothes just to stay alive. But there are many people who are richer and more powerful than us. They can't be the only ones targeting us!"
It’s just that they have the least manpower and are the easiest to bully!
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are just an ordinary family. They made such a big fuss, they really think highly of us."
Zhou Jianghai continued, "Breaking the bug actually tells the other party we know about it. From now on, we must be careful in our actions!"
Several people looked at each other with determined expressions.
Although Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai were still panicking, they gradually relaxed when they looked at their daughter and Xiaoyu.
They decided that even if Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu went out to do business in the future, they would not leave at the same time.
Zhou Shuwan first searched for supplies in the space, and when he had enough, he drove a tricycle to deliver a portion to his third aunt's house. He then placed the rest in the living room and took a video so that the other party could see it and have a better idea of the situation.
Then he went to see Director Wu and asked about the underground base where Mayor Lu was located.
It's in the underground base below the service hall.
The journey wasn't very far. While she was talking to Director Wu, Xiao Xiao saw her coming to greet her. She heard her and asked, "Are you going to see Mayor Lu? What's wrong?"
Zhou Shuwan didn't explain, but only said, "There are some things I want to ask."
Xiao Xiao was promoted by Mayor Lu and is considered a highly trusted confidant.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go together. I just need to go report something. I'm worried about you walking alone at night."
Zhou Shuwan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
She and Xiao Xiao have been together for more than half a year and have fought side by side several times, so they still trust each other.
Xiao Xiao was driving a military electric car, and she and Zhou Shuwan got in wearing air-conditioned clothes.
On the way, Xiao Xiao asked, "Are you and Xiao Yu interested in joining the security team at the underground base? The treatment is definitely the best in the base."
Zhou Shuwan asked curiously, "Are you still short of people?"
