Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (10) Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (10) “Yesterday I found that young wife quite nice, could sleep for days, and tomorrow I might think that older girl is pretty good too, suggesting we get together, and before you know it, the two women are at each other’s throats. Same with the women, one day they think a man is strong and gives a sense of safety, so they go with him, and the next someone tells them some bachelor with grain and skills is available, and they just turn their heads and run off to him. What do you make of this mess… even Ji Dong, such a serious man, insisted on doing something else after going up there with me, refusing to go back.”

Tang Zelin: I really don’t want to carry the can for this…

“That’s the situation, it’s just like that. You say it’s tough for even a just official to settle domestic matters, and sure we manage public security, but we’re not cut out for dealing with these trivial family squabbles!” The more Qu Guo’an talked about it, the more he felt it was a headache. “No, tomorrow, you have to back me up when I talk to the higher-ups about this.”

Tang Zelin, holding his teacup, seemed lost in thought and didn’t respond for a moment.

Qu Guo’an called out “hehe” a couple of times before Tang Zelin snapped back to reality.

“What were you thinking about? Did you hear what I was just saying to you?”

“What? Oh, I heard, sure, we’ll go take a look tomorrow.”

Qu Guo’an looked very pleased, “Old Tang, what were you thinking about?”

Tang Zelin held the water cup, “I was just thinking about the dream you had.”

“Dream?”

“Didn’t you say you dreamed the mountain collapsed?”

On hearing the words ‘mountain collapsed,’ Qu Guo’an felt a shiver run down his spine in the middle of the night, “What about it? You just reassured me it was nothing, and now you’re looking all serious again, it’s quite frightening.”

Tang Zelin frowned slightly, then relaxed.

“I was a bit groggy from sleep just now, but now I’m more alert and gave it some more thought. You know about my previous encounter with danger in the neighboring Peng Mountain Region, right?”

“I remember,” Qu Guo’an’s eyes widened, “What are you implying?”

“Did I ever tell you that before the earthquake in the Peng Mountain Region, both men and women in Peng Village frequently had dreams where the departed came back to warn them?”

In the dead of night, this sent a chill through Qu Guo’an’s palms. He moved a stool next to Tang Zelin and asked skeptically, “But I didn’t dream of any dead people, I just saw the mountain collapse, and there was thick smoke in the sky. Couldn’t tell if it was volcanic ash or an eruption somewhere else; it looked terrifying. You’re not implying that this dream has something to do with that, are you?”

Tang Zelin shook his head; that wasn’t what he meant.

However, having been through the experience with Peng Mountain, he couldn’t help paying more attention to these things.

“Maybe I’m overthinking it.”

In the end, that was Tang Zelin’s conclusion.

For Qu Guo’an, his heart was uneasy all night, and he didn’t calm down until he fell asleep.

There was an earthquake in the neighboring province that killed so many people. Back then, they all sympathized with the victims, and later the Apocalypse crisis broke out one after another in C City. Just as things seemed to have quieted down a bit, this couldn’t be happening again, could it?!

The next day.

Qu Guo’an stared at the panda-eyed Tang Zelin as they went to the city for a meeting. The guard, Guozi, couldn’t help but feel both shocked and amused when he saw the Political Commissar’s eyes.

Qu Guo’an scolded, “You little brat, have you never seen insomnia before?”

“Hehe, Commissar, I’ve never seen insomnia present quite like this—you’ve got some seriously dark circles, practically a national treasure!”

“Piss off! Just drive.”

“Yes, sir!”

Ever since C City went into lockdown, the city’s situation had remained “stable” within a certain scope due to forcefully cutting off external influences.

As more and more cities like C City began to imitate this approach, the connections between nations, provinces, and cities became less and less tight than they once were.
