Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

Chapter 220: It Seems To Be True



Yao Ran nodded and replied, "Yes."

Xu Qipeng thought for a moment before asking, "Are you the granddaughter of Chairman Yao from the Yao Group?"

Yao Ran raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know my grandfather?"

Xu Qipeng chuckled when he heard her question and asked again, "Did you go on a blind date with Ruihan? How is it? Do you like him? Will you become the daughter-in-law of the Xu family?"

When he asked these questions, Long Yu's expression darkened while Yao Ran stared at Xu Qipeng. After taking a closer look at him, she realized he seemed familiar.

"Commander Xu, are you related to Young Master Xu? Are you his father?" she asked.

Xu Qipeng chuckled, shook his head, and replied, "I'm his second paternal uncle. His father is my elder brother. I didn't want to continue the family business, so I ran away to join the army. It was really surprising to meet Uncle Yao's granddaughter here."

Noticing Long Yu's displeased expression, Xu Qipeng asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look at me like I owe you a lot of money?"

Long Yu took a deep breath and then replied through gritted teeth, "It's nothing."

Sensing his unhappy gaze fell on her, Yao Ran lightly coughed and took his arm.

She turned to Xu Qipeng and helplessly said, "Commander Xu, Long Yu is my boyfriend. It's unkind for you to bring up your nephew in front of him. The blind date thing is just a joke between the elders."

"Please don't tease me with this. If my boyfriend misunderstood my relationship with Young Master Xu, I'd be the one in trouble."

Hearing this, Long Yu's expression softened, and he smiled gently at her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Qipeng raised his eyebrows in amusement when he saw the famous cold-face captain smile gently at a woman. Seeing this, he looked at Yao Ran with newfound interest.

He rubbed his unshaven chin and thought, 'What a shame. Ruihan was too slow, and he lost a good woman.'

With her identity confirmed, Xu Qipeng's gaze softened when he looked at her. Since their families were friends, he always regarded Yao Ran as a niece even before they met. Now that he knows that she is dating Long Yu, he is happy for them.

He pointed at the medicine and disinfectant and asked, "So, niece, what are these items?"

Now aware that Xu Qipeng was Grandpa Xu's second son, Yao Ran decided not to take money from him to repay Grandpa Xu's help and kindness. If not for Grandpa Xu's assistance, she might not have obtained those weapons and military vehicles.

With this in mind, she replied, "Uncle Xu, this is medicine for treating parasitic infections, and the other is homemade disinfectant."

Xu Qipeng's eyes lit up when he heard what she said. He quickly opened the bottle of disinfectant and asked, "Can this disinfectant kill parasites?"

Yao Ran thought for a moment and answered, "I'm not certain about its potency, but we have been using it to disinfect our home, and it's been effective. So far, none of us or our friends have been infected."

Xu Qipeng's eyes flashed for a moment as he asked, "What about the medicine?"

Yao Ran explained calmly, "The medicine can expel parasites from the body, even after they have hatched. However, if the parasites have penetrated internal organs, the chances of this medicine curing the patient are significantly reduced."

After listening to her explanation, Xu Qipeng fell into deep thought. While he was thinking, Yao Ran turned to look at Long Yu.

She stared at him for a while and then called him in a low voice, "Long Yu."

"Mhm?" He turned to her upon hearing her call his name.

Yao Ran stepped closer to him and said, "I have never gone on a blind date with anyone. The only time I met with Young Master Xu was to receive the weapons and military vehicles I bought from Grandpa Xu."

Long Yu looked at her for a moment, nodded, and smiled, "Even if you had, aren't you still here with me now? In the end, you still chose me."

Yao Ran chuckled when she heard what he said. While they whispered to each other, Xu Qipeng watched them, feeling his head suddenly emit a bright light.

He coughed lightly to get their attention, and then he asked, "Xiao Ran, do you have any medicine with a higher chance of curing the patients with severe symptoms?"

Yao Ran thought for a moment and replied, "I can't guarantee its effectiveness, but if you want, I can provide Uncle Xu with a sample."

Xu Qipeng would never use his soldiers' lives for experiments or to test medicine. However, since there was no medicine or treatment available for them, he had no choice but to treat a dead horse as if it was still alive and bet on Yao Ran's medicine.

After considering the pros and cons, he asked, "How much medicine could you provide to the military?"

"How much do you need, Uncle Xu?" Yao Ran asked back.

Hearing her question, Xu Qipeng's eyes flashed with realization.

He lowered his eyes to conceal his emotions and thought, 'Father once told me Xiao Ran was stockpiling supplies and weapons as if she knew natural disasters would hit the world and civilization would collapse.'

'I didn't believe him before, but now it seems to be true. Could what Ruihan told me be true? Can she really predict the future? Or does she have another source to get the information? And if so, who might that be?'

Xu Qipeng had many questions about Yao Ran but decided to focus on the immediate issue. As for his question, he can wait until he saves the soldier before asking her slowly.

He raised his eyes to look at her and said, "We have over forty thousand soldiers in the First Army. Do you think you can provide enough medicine for all of them?"
