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

Chapter 5: Pretending



Looking at Assistant He, Yao Ran looked through her memories and finally found some memories about him.

Thanks to Assistant He, she was able to live a good life after her grandfather passed away three months ago. Unfortunately, in her previous life, after she was forced to hand over everything to Lan Guanghui, he fired Assistant He. She hasn't heard from him since.

After knowing who Assistant He was, Yao Ran relaxed slightly. She nodded to Lawyer Li and said, "Lawyer Li, feel free to ask."

Lawyer Li took out his phone, opened the recorder app, and turned it on. He asked again, "Miss Yao Ran, can you tell us how Lan Guanghui locked you in the basement of his villa? What did he do to you while you were locked up?"

Yao Ran heard his questions and started performing. Her body trembled as she lowered her eyes. She held the bed sheets tightly and told Lawyer Li everything she could remember. Half an hour later, Lawyer Li saved the recorder and said thoughtfully, "Miss Yao, I will definitely let Lan Guanghui and others get the punishment they deserve."

Hearing this, Yao Ran looked at him with tears in her eyes and asked, "Lawyer Li, what will happen to my father?"

Lawyer Li stared at her for a while and replied, "Kidnapping, imprisonment, physical and mental abuse, attempted murder. He will probably be imprisoned for life along with his mistress and their daughter. As for the servants, they will face at least two years in prison." After hearing his answer, Yao Ran frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "Lawyer Li, can you help me reduce his punishment? No matter what, he is my father."

Lawyer Li raised his eyebrows when he heard what she said. He glanced at Assistant He, who sighed and shook his head. Lawyer Li then looked back at Yao Ran's sad face.

It seems that the rumors about Miss Yao are true. Because she was switched at birth and had just been brought back by the late Chairman Yao, she lacked the decisiveness and talent needed for an heir to a wealthy family.

Thinking of what she had just experienced and her current mental state, Lawyer Li was silent for a moment and persuaded, "Miss Yao, are you sure you want to let Lan Guanghui go? Letting this person go after he committed such a crime will only harm you in the future." Of course, Yao Ran knew Lan Guanghui was not a good person. However, she will not let Lan Guanghui, Chen Meilin, and Lan Lifei die in prison when the end of the world comes. It would be too easy for them to die like this, and the hatred in her heart wouldn't be resolved by then.

Although she was sneering in her heart, Yao Ran still showed a weak and helpless smile. She shook her head and said, "Lawyer Li, please just do as I say."

As her lawyer, he had given her advice. If Yao Ran still wants to do the opposite, then he should just do what she wants.

Lawyer Li pushed up his glasses slightly and said, "Since this is Miss Yao's wish, then I will do what you want. Miss Yao, how long do you want them to stay in jail?"

Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Three months is enough. I believe that my father and others will change after this ordeal."

Lawyer Li nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He walked back to the couch, took his bag, and said, "Then I will go and visit the police station. I will contact Assistant He after the matter is settled."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yao Ran nodded, "Thank you, Lawyer Li."

She then turned to look at Assistant He and smiled, "Assistant He, can you help me send Lawyer Li out?"

Assistant He nodded and said to Lawyer Li, "Lawyer Li, please."

Seeing the two of them leaving the room, Yao Ran put away her weak look and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She looked out the large glass window and muttered, "Now that they are in prison, Lan Guanghui shouldn't have time to prepare for the end of the world, right? I want to see what he can do without weapons and supplies."

Looking at the flying clouds in the blue sky, Yao Ran's thoughts returned to the past.

She remembered that after the end of the world, Lan Guanghui's family could live like kings because of the massive amount of supplies. However, she never knew where he hid the supplies. Yao Ran frowned when she thought of this.

"To hide so many supplies that can support more than five hundred people for three years, Lan Guanghui needs a big place. But with natural disasters coming one after another, there will be no safe place in this world after the end of the world begins."

Yao Ran thought about it for a long time until Assistant He came back.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, he put the breakfast he bought for her on the table and said, "Miss, the doctor said you need to stay for a few more days to observe your condition. If nothing happens, you can be discharged."

After he opened the porridge and side dishes, he placed them on the small table. He brought a table of food over and placed it on the bed in front of Yao Ran. Then, he took out a small wooden box and placed it on the table.

"After Chairman Yao's death, there are a lot of things to do. I'm sorry I didn't have time to give this to you until now."

Yao Ran came out of her thoughts when she heard what he said and looked at the small wooden box. From its design, she knew it would fetch a high price if sold to an auction or museum. She took the box and carefully opened the lid.
