Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 526

Yao Ran shook her head and answered, "I don't know. For now, I think it's better for us to focus on finding the location of The Ark's headquarters. After we deal with The Ark, I believe we will eventually uncover the truth."

Seeing how calm she was, Xu Ruihan felt relieved. "You are right. I still have things to do, so I will head back first."

"I will walk you out," Yao Ran said as she saw Xu Ruihan standing up.

Raising his hand to stop her, Xu Ruihan calmly refused, "No need. I know the way."

Before taking a step, he turned back to look at Yao Ran and added, "Be careful on your mission. Elder Brother will come to save you as soon as we find the location."

Hearing this, Yao Ran smiled and nodded. "Alright."

Seeing her smile, Xu Ruihan reached out and gently patted her head before leaving. As he stepped out of the study, he ran into Long Yu.

Long Yu glanced at the brown envelope in Xu Ruihan's hand for a second, then looked at him and asked, "Brother Xu, you are leaving so soon?"

Xu Ruihan nodded. "Mhm. The preparations for the attack are almost complete, and I need to coordinate with Wu Yehao."

Seeing that he was busy, Long Yu said, "I see. See you later, Brother Xu."

"See you later, Brother Long."

After Xu Ruihan had left the villa, Long Yu brought the tea into the study. When he walked in, he saw Yao Ran sitting on the couch, deep in thought.

Placing the tea on the low table, Long Yu sat beside her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Hearing his question, Yao Ran snapped out of her thoughts. She looked at Long Yu and explained, "A Yu, Elder Brother Ruihan just showed me a few files that Grandpa Xu received from my grandfather."

Reaching out to smooth her furrowed brows, Long Yu said, "It seems like whatever was in those files is troubling you."

Yao Ran nodded. "Inside the files, there is evidence that Gao Shuwei is actually someone who has returned from the future. But unlike us, he has actually already come back countless times. Each time he returns, he revives earlier than the last."

She paused for a second before asking, "A Yu, do you think it's possible for someone to experience rebirth countless times?"

"Yes." Long Yu suddenly paused before asking, "Could my rebirth be connected to your spatial element energy?"

Yao Ran shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure. If your rebirth was caused by my spatial element energy, then all your team members should have also experienced rebirth since they all died in the secret laboratory. But the fact is, they didn't, and only you did."

"So we can't rule out the possibility that our rebirths are connected to Gao Shuwei," Long Yu added.

Yao Ran nodded. "That's right. So far, what we know about Gao Shuwei is that he is like us—someone who comes back from the future—and he was also an orphan saved by my grandfather."

"Mhm." Long Yu agreed and thought for a moment before asking, "Ran Ran, do you think the reason your grandfather established the Yao Security Company and made Gao Shuwei its director was because he knew that Gao Shuwei had knowledge of the future?"

Yao Ran said, "It's possible. A Yu, do you remember what my elder cousin told me before—about Gao Shuwei requesting a private conversation with my grandfather on the day he was adopted?"

Hearing this, Long Yu's eyes widened with a hint of realization. "You mean… Gao Shuwei told your grandpa about the future and his rebirth at that time?"

"Yes," Yao Ran replied. "Otherwise, why would my grandfather suddenly establish the Yao Security Company without reason, take in countless orphans from orphanages around the country as if he already knew who he should adopt, and order them to protect the heir of the Yao family?"
