Chu Huai did not want to deliberately anger Dean Jiang just to make him move. It was really because of Dean Jiang’s picky and stubborn temper that his words were useless.
He can’t say anything about the apocalypse so he can only use this method to help the old man.
However, although Dean Jiang was angry, he also knew Chu Huai’s character well. He wasn’t someone who liked talking, but he would never say nonsense. If the other party said that something big would happen, the news was definitely true.
So in the end, Dean Jiang was still very cooperative in packing up his things and preparing to go with him.
However, how Chu Huai and Yu Ke knew that he had hidden something under the floor was something he was still brooding about as to how they could have figured it out, and he grumbled his teeth in anger.
In this regard, Chu Huai did not say a word as he took Yu Ke to help pack his luggage.
Dean Jiang is the only one who wants to pack up his things- his whole house is in tatters and even his newest clothes were seven or eight years old.
But Dean Jiang is stubborn and can’t bear to throw them away. He can’t even bear to throw away two packs of cold medicine that were about to expire!
“What’s expiring soon?! Isn’t it still usable for seven days? Bring it with us. Now that a virus is spreading, it just happens that it can be used. You young people are too wasteful and can’t live your lives without wasting anything. Bring them to me. Don’t waste it…”
Dean Jiang blew his beard and commanded them, it looked like he wanted to use the two bricks from the wall to protect his things.
Chu Huai couldn’t bear it. In the end, he could only tie the person up and pack the old man’s more important and commemorative things, leaving the rest, and dragging the wailing old man away.
Then he soothed him, “The door is locked so that nothing will be lost, and I will send you back when the situation passes.”
With that said, Dean Jiang stopped and finally agreed.
He was thinking about coming back to live here when things get over, and that it was indeed time to go out and travel, it’s not the end of the world when he leaves.
Chu Huai smiled and didn’t say much, he didn’t want to add too much trouble for the old man now.
Dean Jiang is too stingy and frugal on most days. He has not been out of the house for most of his life in Yunhai City.
He kept talking about being forced to leave, but his wrinkled face couldn’t stop smiling, and he was quite interested in Yu Ke.
In addition to the natural kindness of the elders to the younger ones, Dean Jiang was quite worried about the gold hidden under his floor just now.

But the young man knew about such a secret thing so it was definitely revealed by Chu Huai. Since he was able to gain Chu Huai’s trust in a short period of time, this young man was really extraordinary.
But no matter what Dean Jiang said, Yu Ke smiled and replied, “I predicted it…”
It’s not strange that Dean Jiang would not believe him, no matter what age it was, he does not believe in feudal superstition despite being old.
What is his relationship with Chu Huai?
If he weren’t someone who had a special relationship with Chu Huai, who was known for being cold, he would not be bringing him around. He could see that Chu Huai’s attitude towards Yu Ke was very tolerant and indulgent, and it was very special.
When it came to this question, Yu Ke was excited, and when he tilted his head, he leaned on Chu Huai’s shoulder.
Then he happily rubbed against him like a puppy. While Chu Huai was driving and unable to hide from him, he slyly took the opportunity to kiss Chu Huai’s lips, expressing his affection.
Dean Jiang blinked his eyes, covered his heart in horror, and kept calling out: The world is getting worse, the world is getting worse…
“Xiao-Ke’s parents died early so he stayed at his aunt’s house, and knocked his head when he was a child.”
Chu Huai had become accustomed to the small troublesome sneak attacks. He glanced at the young boy next to him who seemed to be happy being a thief, and calmly continued to drive, not knowing that there was a softness in his eyes that he hadn’t noticed.
If anyone who knows him sees him showing this gaze, they will surely jump up and wonder if they were hypnotized.
Fortunately, Dean Jiang was sitting in the back seat and was holding his heart trying to accept the “male-to-male” matter. He didn’t pay attention to his eyes but he understood some things after listening to him explain this.
To those who don’t know the truth, the teenager does seem to have a brain problem.
In the past when he was in charge of the orphanage, Dean Jiang often saw poor children from this kind of background. He instantly made up a drama with a tragic life experience and he quickly became sympathetic and full of love when he saw Yu Ke…
Going back to City C is much faster than heading out.
Because of the spread of the new virus on the news, many people panicked, and they headed to their hometowns as soon as possible. The previous epidemics such as SARS are still fresh in everyone’s memory.
Now that the news reports say that a new epidemic is going to be more serious, everyone is saving their own. Many companies have already let their employees work remotely on their home computers. The government is also preparing to block some forms of transportation.
The number of vehicles and pedestrians on the road was reduced by more than half in an instant. Chu Huai was already fast enough, but the reality was more severe than what he had planned for.
Fortunately, the two cities are not far apart, and they rushed back to City C before the road was blocked and strictly monitored.
On the second day after taking Dean Jiang over, traffic and pedestrian flow were strictly prohibited outside.
And that night, they also ushered in two acquaintances, Yuan Haolin and Tan Xiaojie.
Chu Huai didn’t know Tan Xiaojie but he knew Yuan Haolin and the person who could be intimately held by the other party must be the other party’s lover.
Otherwise, is it normal for two men to hold hands as friends?
Different from Chu Huai’s genius hacker image, Yuan Haolin’s lover Tan Xiaojie is not very old, about the same as Yu Ke, at most a boy of 17 or 18 years old. The boy is very cute, but his character is very timid, hiding behind Yuan Haolin like a little rabbit.
Unlike Yu Ke, who only looked harmless and pitiful on the surface but was actually cunning and courageous. He was a little gray wolf in rabbit skin.
“Mr. Chu, this is my lover, Xiaojie, today I came to ask you something…”
Yuan Haolin stood at the door, guarding his lover behind his back, the 1.9-meter-long man’s expression was a bit cramped.
“Come in and let’s talk about it.”
Chu Huai saw that the other party was carrying luggage and a backpack, and instantly guessed what the other party was looking for. He smiled and opened the door to let them in.
Since even the government believed his prophetic letter then Yuan Haolin would not doubt it unless he was without reason. At this time, carrying his bag and bringing his lover to him, there was no other possibility other than to defect to his team.
Chu Huai’s guess was correct, and Yuan Haolin had indeed come to join him.
With the gradual realization of the content of the prophecy letter coming true, Yuan Haolin was very impatient.
If the apocalypse comes, he will be an ordinary person- no matter how powerful he is, and it will be difficult to protect himself in the face of catastrophic disasters, so how could he protect his beloved?
He has no big ideas, he just wants to live the life of two people quietly and happily with Xiaojie.
Therefore, after some careful consideration, Yuan Haolin thought of Chu Huai. He thought that since Chu Huai could predict the end times, it would mean that the other party had extraordinary ability.
If they can take refuge with the other, even if they cannot guarantee certain safety, the chances of surviving in response to disasters are much more reliable than hiding by themselves.
Chu Huai’s taking the risk of the danger of death and informing the government of the “doomsday prophecy” to make preparations early, means that the other party is also biased towards decent behavior.
So after thinking about it, Yuan Haolin made a bold and risky decision.
After a brief dinner, he followed Chu Huai into the room, the two went to the room alone to talk.
As soon as he entered the room, Yuan Haolin didn’t say much. After drawing the curtains to confirm the privacy of the room, he waved his hand directly in front of Chu Huai, and a bunch of fruit and food came out of thin air.
The amount taken out was very large and the space should’ve been big in volume- without the help of any magic props, it is impossible to perform the trick of “taking things out of thin air”.
Chu Huai’s eyelids twitched, it was obvious that Yuan Haolin also had a magical space.
This is not uncommon. In the apocalypse, there are many strange people with knowledge of advanced Taoism who can make these spaces. Legend has it that these are very common in the prosperous era of warlocks long ago. It is not surprising that some people have inherited such things from their ancestors.
Opposite him, Yuan Haolin did not hide his intentions and explained with a calm expression.
“Mr. Chu, as you can see, I have a portable space like the one described in novels. Although it is small in size and cannot store things forever, it can only delay the rotting of food and it is big enough to guarantee six or seven people for five years. The materials stored, if you wish, I can share with you, but the condition is that I hope Mr. Chu can guarantee the safety of me and Xiaojie…”
To put it bluntly, Yuan Haolin plans to use the space in exchange for the shelter of a ‘superior’.
No matter how powerful the ability is, if he is not strong enough, he will only be targeted after the apocalypse.
Yuan Haolin can see this clearly, but at the same time, he is also taking a huge risk in gambling. No one can predict human nature so at this moment, there is a danger of being ‘killed and used’.
But Chu Huai didn’t believe Yuan Haolin was such an impulsive person because the other party brought Tan Xiaojie over.
“If I don’t agree, what do you plan to do if I still want to kill and steal from you?”
“Within three days, personal information about Mr. Chu will be published on the global network.”
Yuan Haolin said this directly, showing his last resort.
When the identity of the ‘Prophet’ is announced, he will become a target of all countries vying to arrest him.
Chu Huai smiled with satisfaction, it was indeed Yuan Haolin he knew.
For him, they have known each other in his previous life, but for Yuan Haolin, they are just strangers who have just recently established a relationship with each other.
If Yuan Haolin put all his trust in him at this time, he would have to rethink the other party’s IQ.
As the saying goes, he is not afraid of the enemy being good, he is afraid of his teammates being idiots; he would rather cooperate with cunning villains than deal with fools with no brains.
“I just calculated that the end will come but I don’t have such a great ability. I have no absolute certainty that we can be safe, but we can cooperate. I think Brother Yuan should have more information than me about the specific situation.”
“Yes, the situation outside is more serious than you predicted.”
Yuan Haolin’s expression was solemn.
