Chapter 104 Didn't you yourself say that if we have supplies, we should all share them?
After sending the message in the owners' group, Lin Muyan turned off her phone and went to do her own thing.
Let the bullets fly for a while, and then we'll watch the show later.
Her photo and accompanying text indeed created a tsunami-like effect in the group chat.
In the photo, the Rong family's garage is wide open, revealing a whole truckload of supplies, with large quantities of bottled water piled up throughout the garage.
In an inconspicuous corner, there were even a few ice-making machines.
Ordinary people would never suddenly hoard so many supplies unless they have some inside information.
Many people in the residents' group also realized that they needed to stock up on supplies, but at that time the heavy snow had just melted and the temperature had just risen. After being cooped up at home for so long, normal people would not rush to stock up on supplies immediately.
Who would have thought that the temperature would suddenly soar to such a high level in just a few hours?
When the official notice was first issued, it was not taken very seriously. By the time the second warning was issued, many people had already realized that something was wrong.
But by then it was too late.
The fact that the Rong family was able to procure so many supplies so quickly, especially those specifically designed for extremely high temperatures, inevitably raises questions.
"Grandma Rong, Lin Muyan is right. She has only been here for a short time and is a fake heiress who was kicked out of the Shen family. She doesn't have that many resources. Your Rong family actually secretly hid so many supplies and then instigated us to cause trouble for a young lady like Lin Muyan. Your Rong family is shameless!"
—Listen to me, everyone. Judging from the amount of supplies in the photo, it shouldn't be a problem for each family to get a share. If the Rong family doesn't agree, we'll form a group and go to the Rong family to rob them!
The homeowners have stopped pretending. Survival is the only problem right now. Who cares about family background, social status, or anything like that? They've lost all morality. Clinging to those irrelevant things is pointless.
The Rong family panicked when their call to action was met with overwhelming support.
Old Mrs. Rong had no choice but to step in and intimidate everyone.
"It's because my grandson is smart. Don't you watch the news? With the world experiencing strange weather conditions, you have no sense of preparedness at all. Who can you blame for not stockpiling supplies?"
"My grandson is so farsighted and thoughtful that he has provided our Rong family with these supplies. If you want to covet these supplies, then I might as well tell you: those of you who have weapons at home and are not afraid of death are welcome to come and try!"
Grandma Rong's words indeed intimidated some of the rational people. As for those who were clamoring to go to the Rong family to rob supplies, they probably just talked about it and didn't dare to actually do it.
Everyone has their own agenda. In situations like this, whoever rushes to the front will be the target of the attack. No one is willing to be the first to stick their neck out.
Unlike in rural areas where neighbors live side by side and have good relationships, the owners of villas on the hillside don't get along well. While they may be polite to each other on the surface, they secretly dislike one another and secretly hope that one of them will go bankrupt one day.
Grandma Rong took advantage of this point. She was certain that these people could not be united in a short period of time. Although they seemed to have a lot of people, they were actually a disorganized mess.
Grandma Rong was extremely grateful that her grandson Rong Muchen had handled the matter of quickly stockpiling supplies. When the supplies arrived at their home, the whole family was still stunned and even thought that Muchen had made a mountain out of a molehill.
Even she felt that her grandson's years of schooling had been wasted, as he was still acting like those old folks who believed everything they heard, hoarding supplies at the drop of a hat.
Even if you have a large and successful family, you shouldn't do something so foolish.
But as it turned out, her grandson was right. In just a few hours, the temperature soared to over 70 degrees Celsius, which surprised her so much that she praised her grandson profusely.
The chat in the owners' group had quieted down. When Lin Muyan finished her own business and opened her phone, she saw Rong Laotai's extremely intimidating statement.
There were also several voice messages from Rong Muchen in the chat, which Lin Muyan missed. Then, he sent her many more text messages.
They were simply questioning her about why she posted those photos in the group chat and why she had put the Rong family in such a dangerous situation.
Lin Muyan blinked and replied to him calmly.
"Huh? You're really something. Didn't you say yourself that you should share all that stockpiled supplies with everyone? Your Rong family only has less than ten people, what do you need so many supplies for?"
Lin Muyan also sent an innocent emoji, and then continued:
"There must be quite a few families living in the hillside villas, families that your Rong family can't afford to offend, right? Aren't you afraid they won't let you off the hook?"
These are all things Rong Muchen told her, and she is now returning them to him.
Rong Muchen was speechless for a moment after being confronted, not knowing how to refute.
Yes, he did say those things. He advised Lin Muyan to share the supplies with everyone, but can things be the same then as they are now?
Rong Muchen: "Lin Muyan, stop making trouble. Go to the group chat and help clarify things. Anyone with eyes can see that the apocalypse has really come. You want the Rong family to distribute supplies at this time? You're asking us to die."
Lin Muyan was so angry that her mouth twisted into a crooked shape. She wished she could drag Rong Muchen out of his phone and beat him up, just like the Hulk beat Loki!
But I'd rather not get my hands dirty by hitting him.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and replied:
"I'm afraid that's impossible. Your grandma has already admitted it herself in the group chat. If I try to clarify things for you now, it will only make the matter more certain."
Rong Muchen was at his wits' end. His grandmother was really something; he had only taken a short nap, and things had turned out like this.
Lin Muyan suddenly thought of something and pretended to be concerned:
"Since things have come to this, fight on, young man! By the way, do you need any weapons? Your grandma said you have some. Keep an eye on you! If you don't have enough weapons, I have some here that you can borrow!"
Rong Muchen's expression softened upon seeing Lin Muyan's message.
Fortunately, Lin Muyan still cared about him. He pinched the bridge of his nose and replied:
"What weapons do you have? It's already quite impressive that you managed to gather so many supplies in such a short time. Well then, bring over your weapons; I need to be on guard."
Lin Muyan: "..."
"Oh, so you don't have any weapons at home~"
After sending this last message, Lin Muyan put down her phone and rolled around on the bed laughing.
Rong Muchen's words were too easy to get. I never realized before that he was so stupid. Even now, he still can't see her attitude. Does he really think she will personally deliver the weapon to him?
[Haha, this idiot is hilarious! He not only admitted he didn't have a weapon, but he also fantasized about Lin Muyan delivering one to him? Seriously?]
[This is probably what they call a typical guy; he actually thought Lin Muyan was interested in him.]
[He was only told the news of the impending heatwave, and was reminded to stock up on supplies—it was all a ploy to trick him. He can't even see that, yet he's still acting superior.]
[Serves him right. Doesn't he like to pretend to be a good person? It's no fun if he just pretends and doesn't act it out. Let him be the saintly saint of the apocalypse for once.]
Lin Muyan couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
Later that evening, when some people in the residents' group started stirring up trouble again, encouraging everyone to scramble for supplies, Lin Muyan knew it was time for her to step in.
