Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Forty-eight chapters Shock turns to surprise

With only three days left before the apocalypse, Su Jin went alone to the stores Mr. Su had mentioned. In fact, she had contacted the owners the day after Mr. Su mentioned them, and today was the day to sign contracts and make the payments.

Apart from the bookstores, pharmacies, and grain and oil stores, Su Jin also found a motorcycle shop on her own, which she happened upon by chance. She didn’t buy the entire shop but purchased 30 motorcycles from it, with the condition that each motorcycle be fueled up and delivered to their temporary warehouse.

With this purchase, she almost cleaned out the motorcycle inventory of the shop. The shop owner was so delighted that he wished he could deliver the motorcycles to Su Jin immediately, but he first needed to make sure each one was filled with fuel, so he hurriedly instructed his staff to fuel up the bikes.

After getting the contracts for the bookstore, pharmacy, and the grain and oil store, Su Jin was ready to go home. She had finally spent all the money and couldn’t be happier about it. She thought about calling Lu Hao to tell him about it, but Lin Xiuyuan called her first.

“Su Jin, we’re in trouble, our warehouse has been emptied, everything is gone!” Lin Xiuyuan’s voice was filled with urgency and anger.

He had planned to come to the warehouse with Huang Yunxiang today to store some items. As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned. Why was the warehouse completely empty? Had he gone to the wrong place? He even checked to confirm that it was indeed their warehouse.

Huang Yunxiang, who was behind him, had already started crying. How could this be? All their family’s efforts, gone?!

Huang Yunxiang cried and called Lin Cheng. Lin Xiuyuan thought of Su Jin and immediately called her.

“Lin Xiuyuan, calm down,”

Listening to Lin Xiuyuan’s hysterical voice on the phone, Su Jin felt like she might have done something wrong; the poor guy had probably been scared out of his wits.

“How can I calm down, sis? Let’s call the police. It’s better to recover as much as we can,”

“No need, I’ll explain when I get home. For now, don’t call the police. I’m on my way home,”

She was on her way home in a taxi and because the driver was there, she couldn’t say too much.

This situation was tough on the family, except for Li Xiuying, Lu Guanhai, and Nie Qing; the rest were anxious like ants on a hot pan. But since Su Jin had said not to call the police yet, they could only fret at home.

“Tell me, dear, aren’t you worried at all?”

Lin Yunguo looked at Li Xiuying, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with Nie Qing. If it had been before, this old lady would have been hopping mad by now.

Li Xiuying and Lu Guanhai weren’t entirely sure if the items were taken by Su Jin, but they felt that it was very likely her doing, so now all they could do was keep their cool and wait for Su Jin to come home.

Nie Qing shrank back a bit. It seemed that last night his apprentice and that girl were indeed up to this, and he was debating whether to comfort everyone when Su Jin arrived.

“Xiao Jin, tell us, what is this all about?” Lin Tianhui had already cried for a while, and seeing Su Jin return, she felt like crying again.

“Yeah, Xiao Jin, who would do such an awful thing? Let’s just call the police already!” Lin Tianzhen also said urgently.

Su Jin looked somewhat guilty and said to everyone, “The things… I took them all… ”

The living room fell silent, only Nie Qing, Li Xiuying, and Lu Guanhai did not look too surprised, while everyone else appeared shocked but relieved.

Emma, it wasn’t stolen! That scared me to death!

“Hold on, Su Jin, when did you move all that stuff?” Lin Xiuyuan asked, still shaken.

“Last night, Lu Hao and I went there together,”

“How many people did you two hire? You moved everything in one night?” Mao Zhihang asked, puzzled. Now that the stuff was safe, he was relieved.

“By the way, Xiao Jin, where did you put everything? Wasn’t it fine where it was?” Su Xiangzhe also asked.

“Yeah, Xiao Jin, why didn’t you tell us beforehand? You nearly gave me a heart attack!” Huang Yunxiang said, her eyes still red…

“Sorry, I was planning to tell everyone tonight. I didn’t expect you to find out so soon, hehe.”

“You girl, you’re still laughing. You moved everything without letting us help, and kept it a secret from us,” Mrs. Su said, still frightened but also a bit angry. What was this girl up to?

“Should we wait for Lu Hao to come back and take you to see the stuff?” Su Jin said cautiously, afraid of being scolded again.

“Why wait for that boy? Let’s go see it now,” Lu Guanhai suddenly suggested.

Inside? Where’s that?
