Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue arrived at Huaxia Base, Lin Wenwen was receiving the last batch of goods that she had ordered online while the Dong Family was preparing to head to Sea City. When the last batch of goods was put into her space, her space would be totally filled up. The money she used to buy all those things was borrowed from Dong Lijia. That didn’t cause her any difficulties to purchase all the supplies that she wanted though.

“Are you done packing yet? Are we good to go?” Dong Lijia was able to clearly differentiate Lin Wenwen from Dong Xinxin now.

Lin Wenwen was counting the goods in her exclusive storage. The goods were in paper boxes, piling on the ground.

Dong Lijia walked over and glanced at those goods, wearing an embarrassed look. All those boxes were marked by the brands of sanitary towels. All kinds of brands could be found.

He turned to look somewhere else and said awkwardly, “Eh-hem… We’ll leave tonight. Do get ready.” After saying that, he quickly turned and left.

“Oh, I get it. Don’t worry, I’ll be ready before it gets dark.” Lin Wenwen was busy counting those goods, so she responded to him without thinking at first. But, as the young man ran away, she gave him a glance. After that, she turned back to find the sanitary towel brands on the boxes, and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

As she finished receiving the goods and returned to Dong Family mansion, she saw Dong Lijia sitting on the couch in the living room, looking around in a daze. He seemed to be a little reluctant to leave.

Lin Wenwen stopped walking and asked him, “Didn’t you warn Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun? Aren’t they your best friends?”

Dong Lijia turned to her and said, “Xinxin said that they will both survive. In the first few years after the apocalypse, their lives won’t be too bad. So, she wants to find herself a strong foothold first. We will be helping them after we settle down ourselves. They won’t die within two years anyway. Telling them about what will happen would cause unpredictable changes to their lives. We don’t know if those changes would be good or bad. So, we decided not to do it.”

Lin Wenwen looked at him and stayed silent for a second, then said, “Xinxin is right, but have you guys ever thought that ever since Xinxin and I came back here, your lives have been changed already. Those are the direct changes. There are also indirect changes, which might affect some other people. Everyone related to you and your family might be affected.”

The return of Lin Wenwen and Dong Xinxin had already changed the lives of everyone who was a part of Dong Xinxin’s life. Their future lives might be or might not be the same as Dong Xinxin already knew.

On hearing her words, Dong Lijia stopped short, then looked at her and said with a serious look, “What do you mean?”

Lin Wenwen looked at him and said, “Never mind. You won’t understand. Even if you’re not going to find them, they’ll soon find you. I’ve told you, their lives have already been changed because of the return of Xinxin and me. Their lives won’t be the same as what had happened once.”

Earlier, Dong Xinxin mentioned that she didn’t want to do anything to help the people who would survive the first apocalypse, and would let them live the original way. However, she never thought of the fact that her return had already changed the lives of the people who had made contact with her.

Dong Lijia furrowed his brows. Neither he nor Dong Xinxin had thought about what Lin Wenwen just said. They were focusing on how to keep their family safe and create a better life after the apocalypse. They paid all their attention on gathering supplies and how to face the dangerous post-apocalyptic world. They did think about their friends; Dong Xinxin believed that they would survive, because they survived last time.

But before Dong Lijia said anything else, a guard knocked on the door and told him that Young Master Luo and Young Master Deng had come to visit him.

Lin Wenwen spread her hands and said, “See. In Dong Xinxin’s previous life, Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun shouldn’t have been visiting your family at this time. But now, they are here. I guess the two of them won’t let you leave unless you give them a clear explanation.”

After saying that, she smiled as she turned and went upstairs.

Dong Lijia looked at her back. She now looked much slimmer than she was two months ago. Soon, the noises of sports cars were heard from the outside.

“Dong Lijia, what’s wrong with your family? Why on earth did you sell all your stocks?” Luo Yuanjun’s voice could be heard before he even came in.

“And you have sold your own companies too. Are you guys crazy? What is going on here? I spent only one month abroad and I heard about that once I came back. Are you trying to freak me out here?” Luo Yuanjun stormed in as he asked a series of questions to Dong Lijia, who had just stood up from the couch.

Deng Chenfei followed him in. He stayed silent, but as same as Luo Yuanjun, he also stared at Dong Lijia with confusion.

Lately, he had been busy, paying little attention to the news. Earlier, Luo Yuanjun suddenly gave him a call and told him that the group company run by Dong Lijia’s family had switched owners. The stocks held by the family were sold out. Apart from that, Dong Family had also sold most of their properties in the quickest way.

He immediately searched online about the news, which was reported by several media outlets. No one knew the reason why Dong Family suddenly sold their company yet. Many people attempted to approach Dong Family to see if any internal information could be found. However, after selling the company and properties, Dong Family people had been hiding in their mansion all the time. There were more guards in the mansion than before, and all those guards were very capable. The reporters couldn’t find any chance to take even one useful picture.

Currently, the media and the people in business were all making guesses about what had happened to Dong Family.

After reading the news, Luo Yuanjun and Deng Chenfei headed to Dong Family mansion without even giving Dong Lijia a call. They heard about the big news a whole month after it happened. They spent a lot of time with Dong Lijia before, but the latter never leaked even a trace of the reason why his family would sell their business.

The three of them grew up together and were like brothers. Why was Dong Lijia keeping such a big matter secret from them? Why?

The two rushed straight into Dong Lijia’s family house to find out why.

Seeing the look on their faces, Dong Lijia realized that the two wouldn’t give up until he gave them a satisfactory explanation.
