Leng Luo's throat tightened at her father's words. She strode forward aggressively and slammed her hand on the table.
"I'm here to tell you that it's going to snow heavily soon, so you should get ready."
Upon hearing this, Leng Zhian looked up at Leng Luo as if she were an idiot, and said lightly,
"What are you up to now?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced out the window next to him. The sun was about to set, and the sky was full of orange-yellow, covering everything with a golden glow. Such a beautiful day, why did he say that it was going to snow heavily?
Don't even mention this, this is S City... When have you ever seen heavy snow here?
Leng Zhian didn't believe her words at all.
Leng Luo felt a surge of anger at his distrustful tone. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then pulled out a chair and sat down.
That posture made it clear that... I'm going to have a word with you about this.
Leng Zhian had never seen his daughter like this before. Usually, when she was angry or unhappy, she would raise her voice at him or slam the door and leave.
How could someone suppress their temper like this?
This piqued Leng Zhian's interest. He capped his pen, placed it on the table, and looked ready to listen attentively.
Leng Luo trusted Li Xin'er a lot. According to Li Xin'er, such heavy snow would be very dangerous if they didn't prepare in advance, so she had to persuade her father.
"My friend Li Xin'er just arrived."
Leng Zhian nodded, "I know that."
The housekeeper informed him immediately who had entered the house.
He knew something about the past conflict between Leng Luo and Li Xin'er.
During that time, Leng Luo trained like crazy at home, constantly shouting that he wanted to get revenge on Li Xin'er. He was tired of hearing it.
Who would have thought that the two of them could become good friends?
He had met Li Xin'er before and had a good impression of the girl. She was also a space-type ability user, so he did not stop Leng Luo from contacting Li Xin'er.
Leng Luo continued, "She came to tell me this news specifically. It will snow heavily, a lot of snow, with snowdrifts up to a person's height, so we must prepare in advance."
Leng Zhian asked seriously, "Then where did she get the information?"
Leng Luo hadn't even thought about this question. When Leng Zhian asked her, she shook her head and said, "I didn't ask."
Leng Zhian, with an "I knew it" look on his face, spread his hands and shrugged slightly.
"So, you're making me disrupt my long-planned scheme because of this baseless accusation?"
As he spoke, he turned the notebook in front of him around and pushed it in front of Leng Luo, gesturing for her to take a look.
Leng Luo lowered his gaze and could clearly see the notebook filled with tables and densely written plans, detailing daily personnel arrangements, consumed supplies, recovered supplies, and remaining warehouse inventory.
It was clear that a lot of thought and effort had been put into the planning, leaving Leng Luo speechless for a moment.
Leng Zhian noticed her expression, reached out and took the notebook back.
“The Leng family is not just about you and me now. Every decision I make may indirectly determine how long we can survive in this apocalypse.”
His words were also an indirect explanation to Leng Luo why he was unwilling to send someone to find her friends.
After calming down, Leng Luo understood her father's hardships and felt some remorse for her previous willfulness, but she still didn't give up and tried to persuade him:
“I know I was wrong before, but this time, I hope you can believe me, because I believe her, and she won’t lie to me.”
As she spoke, Leng Luo pursed her lips, hesitated for two seconds, and finally looked at Leng Zhian with determination.
"Dad, Li Xin'er is definitely not a simple person."
Seeing her insistence, Leng Zhian became somewhat curious again.
Why do you say that?
Leng Luo shook her head again. "I don't know much either, but even the base and the authorities value her highly. The Lu family sent people here specifically for her."
As she spoke, seeing that Leng Zhian was deep in thought, she quickly added a reminder:
"Don't get the wrong idea. I really treat her as a friend, so I haven't bothered to find out anything about her. What I'm talking about is all that's publicly known."
Leng Zhian raised his eyebrows, as if he were questioning what she said.
Leng Luo felt rather uncomfortable being stared at like that, and awkwardly waved her hand.
"Okay, okay, I admit, there's a tiny bit..."
As she spoke, she pinched the tip of her little finger with her thumb, emphasizing that it was just a tiny bit.
"There's really only one reason: it's because she's strong enough that I wanted to be friends with her."
Speaking her mind frankly, Leng Luo felt slightly embarrassed and guilty, and her voice lowered considerably.
"It's mostly because of her as a person. She's really a good person, unlike my friends who used to flatter me all the time."
Upon seeing this, Leng Zhian gave a meaningful smile.
He smiled because his daughter was growing up slowly without him even realizing it.
What made him laugh was that his daughter, in the cutthroat, intriguing environment he was in, still maintained a sincere and open-minded attitude.
Leng Zhian nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, I believe you."
Upon hearing this, Leng Luo felt a surge of smug satisfaction, regaining his previous confidence. Taking this opportunity, he continued to persuade her:
"You should trust me, so you have to trust me this time too. I'll just prepare some extra winter supplies and reinforce the facilities at home. It won't take up much of your time. Even if it doesn't snow, having supplies on hand is a good thing."
