Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Settling Down

Zhuang Yuanxi nodded, "I know, but I just want to do this."

Voices could be heard from outside; the logistics team had come to deliver their daily supplies.

Qi Yan and the other two arranged the supplies, with the two brothers sharing one room while Qi Wen stayed by herself.

The four kids went to the canteen together for lunch.

Now that it was known the three of them would be working at the garrison, everyone here was aware of it.

They became the center of attention. Qi Wen really didn’t like this; she knew it was temporary and that it would get better with time, but being watched made her break out in goosebumps.

The trio spent the entire afternoon in the reading room, where there was a lot of information that couldn’t be found anywhere else.

They studied it carefully, knowing they’d likely encounter similar situations in the future.

The siblings had agreed not to go on assignments together, allowing each to have opportunities for personal growth.

When Tan Shaoting returned home, he found one task after another waiting for him, only having time at noon to dine with his wife.

"How are they doing?"

"They had a match there; don’t worry, Yuanyuan, they’ll absolutely be safe."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I know, but I still worry."

"I worry too, but our kids will surely take care of themselves. They would do anything to come back for you. They cherish being by your side even more."

Su Yuanyuan nodded; she didn’t even feel like eating now, knowing that the kids couldn’t do without her, and she couldn’t do without them even more.

Near the end of the workday, a sudden incident occurred, keeping Tan Shaoting busy.

Su Yuanyuan’s day had been quite normal. She didn’t wait for Tan Shaoting; Chengzi drove her home.

Alone there, she recalled living there for years without issue, but today it felt too cold and empty.

Though they hadn’t been back for long, she had completely adapted to their presence.

Not knowing what to do alone in the house, she decided to study the Cultivation Technique that the kids insisted on learning.

Surprisingly, Su Yuanyuan didn’t find it difficult to learn. After reviewing it twice, she felt she could try it if she had the right space.

But not today; she planned to try it en route to the garrison in a few days.

She suddenly recalled a round object Tan Shaoting gave her, saying it was from the secret realm they once appeared in and returned from, and the Artifact Spirit of the realm requested to come back with them.

Su Yuanyuan fiddled with it, seeing nothing special about it.

Tan Shaoting wanted her to become its master, saying the secret realm was quite expansive.

Su Yuanyuan wasn’t very interested since having her own space was already quite impressive. What would she do with such a large space?

But as she played with it, she felt a sharp pain in her finger and saw it bleeding. Puzzled, she wondered how she got injured since she wasn’t holding anything sharp.

The stone seemed to be absorbing her blood, reminding her of Tan Shaoting’s words about the secret realm seeking her to become its master.

Why not Tan Shaoting or the three children?

She watched the stone absorb her blood, showing no sign of stopping.

"You’d better stop that," Su Yuanyuan said calmly.

In an unbelievable turn of events, the stone heeded her words and stopped absorbing blood, rubbing against her hand before suddenly transforming into a light beam and entering her head.

Su Yuanyuan frowned, hating the feeling of being forcibly bound like this.

She tried to connect with her space but couldn’t.

She wasn’t really worried. Tan Shaoting had told her that the spaces were merging, which wouldn’t cause problems.

But the thought of being bound by space made her unhappy.

Since it was already like that, she decided to leave it be.

With only herself at home, and not knowing when Tan Shaoting would return, she decided to go out for a drive.

Perhaps a visit to the Yang Family would be nice; Hu Chunhua must be there, and Yang Chunsheng’s wife was due soon.

She decided against calling Chengzi, choosing to drive herself.

Since starting work, she hadn’t had the chance to be out by herself, and to be honest, this lack of freedom was frustrating.

She trusted no one, behaving normally outwardly, but her solitude was known only to herself.

Driving out of the gate, Tan Shaoting quickly received the news. Frowning, he wondered why Yuanyuan left and without taking Chengzi?

He immediately arranged for five people to follow her. It wasn’t safe; Japan now held a grudge against her.

But since she wanted to go out alone, he would let her go.

Su Yuanyuan, driving, had thought about preparing some supplies, but her space was unusable now. She figured she’d have Secretary Bai deliver them tomorrow.

She arrived at the Yang Family’s, but the door was locked. What was going on? Last she checked, the baby was due any day now; they should have already given birth?

Since they weren’t home, she’d ask Secretary Bai tomorrow.

Time to head back. It wasn’t wise to be impulsive; going out alone meant Tan Shaoting had to send people to protect her. She vowed not to do this again.

On her drive back, she suddenly sensed something was off. She felt danger looming.

Extending her Divine Sense, she discovered several snipers on the buildings lining the road.

They were targeting her; seeing them, she realized they were sent by Japan to come after her.

Su Yuanyuan smirked coldly. This meant her preparations on that side had to be initiated earlier—clearly, they weren’t troubling enough yet and had time to come after her.

She knew the Japanese despised her thoroughly, wanting her dead.

There were six snipers in total. Taking them down wouldn’t be a problem—she couldn’t let them die, as she needed them for leverage.

So, Su Yuanyuan suddenly accelerated. This left the six snipers stunned; had she spotted them? That shouldn’t be possible.

Nonetheless, they had a mission to complete.

Su Yuanyuan shrouded them with her Divine Sense, causing them to miss their first shots. The people protecting her from behind realized things were serious.

Utilizing her Divine Sense once more, she managed to control the snipers, enabling her own men to capture them.

She couldn’t move too far away, or she’d lose control. Su Yuanyuan brought the car to a halt, and those following swiftly understood her intentions.
