"By the way, I've noticed that the Zhang family has also been collecting supplies recently," Li Zhaozhao suddenly blurted out.
"Are you sure?" Shen Yanming asked quickly, startled.
"Hmm, the Zhang family says they're planning to open a supermarket, but I don't think so. What they're preparing seems more like preparations for the apocalypse."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Zhaozhao didn't keep them in suspense any longer. "At first, I didn't think much of it, but when their orders came to me, all of them wanted high-energy, long-shelf-life foods, I became more cautious, and that's when I started to notice."
“The Zhang family may have gotten some information through some channels. Let’s pretend we don’t know. We have no grudges against them, so there’s no need to cut off their escape route,” Shen Yanming nodded and said.
"Aren't they afraid of being targeted with such big moves?" Zhang Heping asked, his eyes wide.
"I reckon this is just something that's out in the open. It might be safer to have two contingency plans," Ji Kangyong said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, let's stop this completely. Just live as usual, buy whatever you need, and pretend we don't have these warehouses of supplies. Don't keep an eye on the Zhang family either, just keep an eye on their news from time to time," Shen Yanming instructed after hearing this.
After finishing their business, the three of them stayed in room 1602 for lunch instead of leaving.
"Qiao An, your cooking skills are really good. Shen Yanming, you are so lucky!" Li Zhaozhao commented after taking a bite of the braised pork.
"Hehe, I heard that all three of you are single. You'll be fine if you find a girlfriend who can cook!" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"Well, it depends on fate. Who knows how the world will change in the future?" Li Zhaozhao shook his head. Who knows what the future holds? There's no need to create trouble for yourself.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and didn't say anything more.
After the three left, Bi Qiaoan asked, "Which Zhang family are you referring to?"
"You should know the Zhang family from Feiyang International. Their daughter is named Zhang Chenjun, I think. She went to the same school as you."
"Zhang Chenjun?" Bi Qiaoan exclaimed, "It seems Zhang Chenjun has also been reborn!"
Shen Yanming had already thought of it when Li Zhaozhao spoke, "Yes, we need to be more careful from now on."
Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment, "Do you know anyone I want to sell 1601?"
"Why would you sell it when everything was fine?" Shen Yanming asked, puzzled. "Our family isn't short of money!"
“I know, but we can’t keep 1601 in the future. Rather than having some shady people watching us in the future, we might as well find a good neighbor in advance,” Bi Qiaoan said earnestly to Shen Yanming.
"How did you lose your house in your past life? And even if 1601 was lost, why didn't you move into 1602?" This question had been on Shen Yanming's mind for a long time. He was curious and wanted to ask, but he couldn't bear to.
After a moment of silence, Bi Qiaoan said, "1602 is because I am not the head of the household, and it was taken back by the higher-ups during the statistics."
As for 1601, it was originally mine, but Chen Jin had her eye on it for a long time. The name on the property certificate for 1601 was my father's, so she looked for loopholes and said that the name on the property certificate was not mine.
By then, Xiao Fei had already gained some influence, and most of the higher-ups were unwilling to offend him. So Chen Jin used Xiao Fei's name to find someone to kick me out.
Shen Yanming felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not coming back sooner!"
Bi Qiaoan smiled slightly, "It's all in the past. But why didn't you come back in your past life?"
Shen Yanming pursed his lips. "At the beginning, no one expected it to be the end of the world. Later, when the climate changed and there was a food shortage, we realized something was wrong. There was a riot in Europe, which didn't end until I returned to China."
At that time in Europe, money was no longer of much use. As a foreigner, I had no influence in Europe and could only live in hiding for two years.
Later, Cai Chun also died. I felt that life and death didn't matter anymore, so I crossed the border and headed towards Qinghua Kingdom.
If you don't know the way, just walk in one direction. If there's no food, look for it along the way, in the mountains, or in the rivers.
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan hugged Shen Yanming with heartache, "I think I'm suffering, but I didn't expect you to be suffering even more. God must have given us a second chance to make up for it!"
"Yes, we will definitely be sweet and happy in this life!" Shen Yanming smiled, feeling that he was so happy right now.
"I'll give Zhang Heping a call later. I reckon he'll buy your house."
"Huh?" Bi Qiaoan stared wide-eyed at Shen Yanming. "Really?"
"Yes, he is an orphan. He grew up at his uncle's house when he was young. Later, he became successful in his career and continued to live in the hospital dormitory."
Bi Qiaoan nodded after hearing this, "That's great. We can look out for each other in the future, and we don't have to worry about any difficult neighbors."
After lunch break, Shen Yanming called Zhang Heping to talk about Qiao An's house. Zhang Heping immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, you really are my brother! I was wondering where to buy a house, hehe, I didn't expect this!"
Don't worry, I'll pay whatever money Qiao An asks for. I feel comfortable living next to you two!
Shen Yanming smiled, "Qiao An hasn't packed her things yet. You can go through the formalities after you've packed them. Do you want the furniture in the house? If not, we'll pack it up and take it with us in advance."
Zhang Heping thought for a moment and said, "You guys can take it. I want to buy some new furniture. If my buddy gets married someday, it can be considered a new house."
"Okay, we'll contact you once we've settled things on our end."
That evening, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went to 1601.
This was the first time Bi Qiaoan had returned to her former home since her rebirth. Looking at the familiar yet strange furnishings, Bi Qiaoan felt a pang of sadness.
Bi Qiaoan gently stroked the family photo in the living room, then gently picked up the doll her mother had bought for her when she was a child...
Shen Yanming stayed with Bi Qiaoan in room 1601 until half an hour later, when Bi Qiaoan said, "Brother Yanming, let's pack everything up."
"good!"
The two packed up all the decorations in the room, as well as Bi Qiaoan's and her parents' clothes and bedding, and put them into the space.
An hour later, only the bed, cabinets, tables, chairs, and sofa remained in room 1601.
Late at night, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan to the warehouse that Zhang Heping and the others had prepared for him. After observing the surroundings and confirming that it was safe, Shen Yanming put all the supplies into his spatial storage.
When Shen Yanming received the supplies, he glanced at them and was surprised to find that the three people had prepared such a complete set of supplies, some of which he had not even expected.
The next day, Shen Yanming contacted a moving company and had the furniture from room 1601 delivered to the previous warehouse, waiting to pick it up later.
A few days later, Zhang Heping, Ji Kangyong, and Li Zhaozhao came to Shen Yanming again. "These past few days, we went to the warehouse and divided the supplies into two parts. The larger part is what we asked you to help transport away, and the smaller part will remain in the open."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Leave me the list and the keys, and I'll go and move them when I have time."
