Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

After all, their lives were already hard enough.

Even though the place was a bit rundown.

But this was their home, after all.

Anyone who wanted to mess with their home was threatening their lives.

Yet Lin Xi's arrival was supposed to be a good thing.

But when the shantytown suddenly lost power, things took a turn for the worse.

"Calm down, maybe it's just a coincidence!" The old man Chu saw the people around him were angry.

He knew that the people here, despite looking honest and simple.

Would fight desperately if their fundamental interests were threatened.

If it were anyone else, the old man Chu wouldn't be concerned.

But Lin Xi, he believed, was absolutely different from those bad guys who wanted to take away their homes.

Lin Xi exuded kindness from her very core.

"Coincidence? How many coincidences are there? There's been no power outage for so long, and as soon as she arrives, the power goes out. How can you call this a coincidence!"

"Yeah, old man Chu, didn't you maybe take some money from them?"

"Step aside and let us teach these heartless businessmen a lesson!"

"..."

The shantytown residents all had flushed faces.

Was it because they were cold?

Or was it from their anger?

The situation was about to spiral out of control.

The residents were itching to act.

They had nothing to lose anyway.

Afraid of nothing.

"Old man Chu, you'd better get out of the way, or I'll hit you too!" A burly, bald-headed man with a dragon tattoo threatened fiercely.

Seeing the crowd angrily surrounding her.

Lin Xi felt terrible.

It was just like the incident with the Yimena clothing.

It clearly wasn't their fault.

Yet, others believed it was Yimena's error.

Impossible to explain even with words.

But the only difference was.

When the incident with Yimena happened.

She was alone.

But now, Su Chen was by her side.

For some reason, as long as Su Chen was there.

Lin Xi felt reassured.

Just like the last plane crash.

In such an extreme circumstance.

Su Chen still managed to lead everyone back to the city alive.

He seemed ordinary.

Yet, he also seemed not ordinary at all.

Su Chen had empathy.

But his empathy did not overflow.

He wouldn't hold back just because these people were poor.

If they hurt Lin Xi.

He wouldn't show mercy.

Of course, with him there, these people couldn't possibly harm Lin Xi.

"If I can prove this power outage has nothing to do with her, what will you say?" Su Chen squinted and asked.

He could feel Lin Xi's grievances.

The company's incident, Yimena being framed.

And now, it's the same here.

This time, he absolutely wouldn't let Lin Xi suffer any grievances.

"As long as you can prove it has nothing to do with her, we'll all apologize to her collectively!" The residents said.

A few minutes later.

The shantytown's electricity was restored.

"The power outage was probably due to a blown fuse. The wires here are just haphazardly installed, and they're very thin. Suddenly, so many households using space heaters caused the fuse to blow, which is quite normal." Su Chen said with his hands behind his back.

So, this power outage was due to a blown fuse.

When Su Chen entered the shantytown, he saw many households using space heaters.

He had a suspicion in his mind.

And it turned out he was right.

After replacing it with a thicker fuse, the power was restored.

"Sorry, we misunderstood you."

"We shouldn't have said such things about you."

"..."

Upon learning that Lin Xi didn't cut the power, the residents became enthusiastic again.

One by one, they invited Lin Xi to their homes.

"Miss, here are some local specialty products from the countryside. Make sure to try them out; you can't get them in the city." An old lady handed Lin Xi a piece of preserved meat.

"Thank you, Grandma."

These people were actually very kind.

The fierce expressions they showed.

Were just because they wanted to protect their home.

Once they realized Lin Xi was not their enemy.

They all became enthusiastic.

And invited Lin Xi to make dumplings together.

All the fillings were chopped by hand by themselves.

They wrapped the dumplings themselves.

The taste was so delightful that Lin Xi was somewhat reluctant to leave.

After the meal, Lin Xi leaned against Su Chen as they stood in the doorway, watching the dancing snowflakes.

"Su Chen, thank you."

Lin Xi was indeed very grateful to Su Chen.

If it weren't for Su Chen today, she surely couldn't have explained away the misunderstanding.

Obviously doing a good deed.

Yet might be attacked by these residents.

But with Su Chen.

It was resolved so easily.

It was just a fuse, after all.

But if it were Lin Xi herself.

She wouldn't have thought of it.

And wouldn't have replaced the fuse.

But Lin Xi's face showed a trace of worry.

"When will this snow stop? If it doesn't, how can they endure it?"

Indeed, the houses in this place were too shabby.

They were practically drafty all around.

If the snow continued to fall.

Who knew how many people would freeze to death.

Although this place was not large.

Yet the number of residents exceeded one hundred thousand.

Unimaginable.

In this less than one-hectare area.

So many people lived.

Although Lin Xi sent them a hundred pieces of clothing.

It would hardly suffice.

Meanwhile.

Yiyang Group, in Zhang Biao's office.

"Mr. Zhang, I've come to you in hopes you could donate a batch of clothing. You've seen how sudden this snowstorm was. I'm afraid the people there won't make it through."

Zhang Biao sat in the boss chair, legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Face flushed with satisfaction.

Lately, he felt on top of the world.

After all, the Yimena Group, which he'd always regarded as a thorn in his side, was mired in crisis.

Meanwhile, Yiyang Group was developing rapidly.

Starting to overshadow Yimena, hinting at becoming the dominant force in Jiangdu City.

If it were before, this woman wouldn't even glance at him.

But now, she visited in person, seeking his help.

If nothing happened to the Yimena Group.

This woman would probably be in Lin Xi's office now.

Zhang Biao savored a few puffs of his cigarette.

Then spoke, "I understand what you're saying. Besides, such a good PR opportunity, why would we let it pass? But you know our Yiyang Group's apparel is selling too well lately, practically sold out. To be honest, our company's orders are already booked till next year. We can't even fulfill the clients' orders, let alone donate!"

This time, Zhang Biao wasn't lying.

Yiyang Group's orders were indeed booked till next year.

But, a clothing company.

How could it have no inventory at all?
