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

Chapter 360: Half Truth



Before Wu Yehao could speak, she added, "I doubt the reason is as simple as making me your leader. If you want me to go with you, tell me the truth. Otherwise, I won't go."

She observed Wu Yehao closely, waiting for his response. Seeing her determination, Wu Yehao lowered his gaze and fell into deep thought.

After a moment of silence, he raised his eyes and said, "My rank is too low to access the information you are asking for. However, Yao Yuechuan is different."

"I remember he gave you his badge and bracelet. You can use the badge to contact him and the bracelet to order our people. If you want answers, I suggest asking him directly."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Why him?" Yao Ran asked.

Wu Yehao frowned slightly at her question. When Yao Ran thought he wouldn't answer, Wu Yehao asked, "Yuechuan didn't tell you about his background and his connection to Chairman Yao?"

Recalling what Yao Yuechuan had told her at Ling Yuan Apartment Complex, Yao Ran said, "He told me he was an orphan my grandfather saved and raised to help me. He also said my grandfather raised other children for this purpose, including Gao Shuwei."

Noticing Wu Yehao's subtle change in expression, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Did he lie to me?"

Wu Yehao shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "He didn't lie, but he also didn't tell you the entire truth."

"What truth?" Yao Ran pressed.

After thinking for a few seconds, Wu Yehao decided to answer. Looking at Yao Ran, he asked, "Did he ever claim to be your elder brother?"

Yao Ran nodded and replied, "Yes, but I remember I don't have a biological brother, so he must be my grandpa's adopted grandson."

Wu Yehao shook his head and explained, "He is not Chairman Yao's adopted grandson but your elder cousin. His father is your mother's biological elder brother."

Hearing this, Yao Ran was surprised. She frowned and said, "My mother is the only child of her generation. How could I have an uncle out of nowhere?"

Looking at her confused expression, Wu Yehao replied, "I don't think I'm the right person to explain this to you. Miss Yao Ran, you should ask Yuechuan if you want to know about this matter."

Seeing that Wu Yehao didn't want to continue discussing this, Yao Ran sighed, rubbed her brows, and said, "Fine. I will ask him later."

After she said that, Wu Yehao asked, "Miss Yao Ran, can you go back with us now?"

Yao Ran shook her head and rejected, "I won't go back with you. I have my own home and family."

Wu Yehao frowned at her words. "But-"

Before he could finish his words, Yao Ran raised her hand to interrupt him. "I can visit your headquarters, but I won't stay there."

Looking at her calm expression, Wu Yehao realized there was no point in persuading her since Yao Ran had already made her decision.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright. I will contact Commander Fu and the senior officers to relay your decision."

"In the meantime, I will stay here to protect you. Since we were able to find you, Gao Shuwei's Black Wolves will likely find you soon as well. It will be safer for us to protect you from the shadows in case he decides to target you."

Knowing how despicable and ruthless The Ark was, Yao Ran agreed to Wu Yehao's suggestion. "Alright."

After gaining her permission, Wu Yehao took a black watch from his backpack and placed it on the low table.

He looked at Yao Ran and explained, "This is a special communication device created by our organization. Only our members can activate it. Commander Fu has already registered your identity code, so you just need to let it scan your blood to complete the DNA registration." After explaining, he stood up. "My contact number is registered as the first on the list. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me."

He then nodded to Long Yu and Shi Xuan and added, "We will take our leave now."

After he finished what he wanted to say, Shi Xuan stood up to see them off. When he returned, he asked, "Yao Ran, are you sure you don't want to meet this Commander Fu?"

Yao Ran picked up the black watch from the low table and inspected it.

After a few seconds of silence, she replied, "I will, but not now. My priority right now is to find some people who might be able to help us in the future."

Seeing her put on the black watch, Long Yu asked, "Ran Ran, what is your plan?"

Yao Ran shook her head and said, "I don't have a plan for now. Let's just play it by ears."

After saying that, she stood up and added, "I'm going to see Chen Zizhen's men. Where are they now?"

"They are eating in the dining room," Shi Xuan answered.

With his response, Yao Ran headed to the dining room.

Left alone in the sitting room with Long Yu, Shi Xuan looked at him and said, "Captain, that organization named The Ark is very dangerous. Are you sure it was the right decision to let Yao Ran get involved with them?"

He paused for a second, then added, "Also, that organization called The Origin-we don't know anything about them. I think they might be even more dangerous than The Ark."

Listening to Shi Xuan's words, Long Yu sighed and said, "Ran Ran's relationship with these two organizations is more complicated than you think. Besides, whether to be involved or not, it's not my place to decide for her."

"So, you are just going to let her do as she pleases? Even if it means endangering herself and others?" Shi Xuan asked with a frown.

Long Yu looked at him and calmly answered, "I will always stay by her side no matter what her decision is. However, I won't let you or our brothers and sisters get into trouble because of us. You don't need to worry about this matter."
