Chapter 89 Framing

Emerging from the subway station, Tang Li was still marveling at the orderliness of the underground world she had just witnessed.

This heavy snowfall had not only blanketed city A.

Across all cities in the country covered by the snow, such methods were likely being adopted to endure the extreme cold season.

Beneath the snow, underground, they could not only block external natural disasters but also facilitate management.

This was probably one of the reasons why, after the solar storm, the nation immediately proposed the underground city construction plan and quickly began its implementation. kuAiδugg

Tang Li felt that if the underground cities could be as orderly as the underground world within the subway station, then the future life could still be looked forward to.

Soon, Tang Li followed the snow-covered passage to the underground garage of Tang Guo's residential complex and entered the supermarket.

Many people were also gathered in the underground garage of Tang Guo's residential complex.

Along the way, Tang Li saw people coming and going, transporting goods.

They emerged from the subway station, carrying goods, passing through the snow-covered passages and the underground garage, heading towards Tang Li's supermarket.

However, not everyone was going to the two buildings where Tang Li's supermarket was located. There were also shops nearby that had been requisitioned by the authorities for storing supplies. The walls between those shops and the buildings had also been breached, serving as rear entrances for transporting supplies from the underground garage.

Upon entering the supermarket, Tang Li found it still relatively warm.

As soon as the snow had piled up to the chimney of the supermarket's carbon heating furnace, Tang Li had, via the car's walkie-talkie, instructed Tang Guo to organize people to dig away the snow blocking the chimney and to build two ice walls between the two buildings, serving as ice and snow dams to firmly block the accumulated snow outside the ice walls.

The snow within the ice walls, as well as the snow dug out earlier, as long as it was clean, was boiled to provide to residents in need.

Apart from the solar panels being affected by the snowfall, receiving less sunlight and generating insufficient electricity, everything else in the supermarket was normal.

The supermarket's main entrance had been sealed with sealing strips, sponges, and quilts as Tang Li had envisioned, and could only be accessed from the back door.

Tang Li also noticed that in the shelving area, some shelves were already sold out.

But with the roads blocked by the heavy snow, the main ground routes had not yet been cleared, and it was temporarily impossible to resupply, so these shelves could only remain empty for now.

Seeing Tang Li arrive, Tang Guo quickly stepped forward to greet her.

He whispered, "Boss, that Inspector Dai you dealt with before came."

Tang Li raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did he come for? When did he arrive?"

After the inspector in the west district had been replaced, Tang Li had informed Tang Guo about the previous inspector Dai's actions and had also reminded Sister Bai to be wary of his tactics.

Therefore, Tang Guo was also very vigilant about Inspector Dai's arrival.

"He just arrived not long ago. He came after you left. As soon as he arrived, he went into Sister Bai's office and hasn't come out yet," Tang Guo replied.

Hearing this, Tang Li frowned.

She remembered Inspector Dai making threats before, saying he would teach her and Sister Bai a lesson and make them beg him tearfully.

Now that he had entered Sister Bai's office, it was likely not for anything good.

Listening carefully to the faint conversation coming from the office, Tang Li said, "Don't worry about him for now. Please count the general vouchers the supermarket has received over these past ten-plus days."

"Alright."

Before coming, Tang Li had already communicated with Tang Guo via the car's walkie-talkie.

Her purpose in coming to the supermarket this time was to move nearly 10,000 general vouchers received by the supermarket in the nearly 20 days after the heavy snow into her space and then replicate them.

Tang Guo was also prepared, and soon Tang Li transferred these nearly 10,000 general vouchers into her space and then replicated them.

With this, the general vouchers in Tang Li's space reached 860,000 points.

While transferring and replicating the general vouchers into her space, Tang Li's ears were also listening to the conversation from the adjacent office.

"Inspector Dai, it's really not me who told Boss Tang about your situation!"

This was Sister Bai speaking.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to keep repeating that nonsense. Whether you told Boss Tang about me or not, I'm not pursuing it anymore."

"I just need you to cooperate with me, threaten your Boss Tang, and accuse her of misappropriating official supplies. Otherwise, you'll be her accomplice, and you'll go to jail with her!"

Dai Fan said impatiently, then opened the office door and came out.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Tang Li leaning by the door of the lounge.

Tang Li looked at Dai Fan with a half-smile and said word by word:

"Inspector Dai, on my territory, in front of me, you threaten my people and frame me... that doesn't seem very appropriate, does it?"
