“I really don’t have a single penny left. I used it all to buy food and water. Just now I bought another 20,000 yuan worth of fresh ingredients and 80,000 yuan worth of medicine, and it’s all gone.”

Lin Luo helplessly spread his hands.

"Xiao Luo, you're really confused. The Ice Age apocalypse will only last for seven days at most. After seven days, things will return to normal. Why did you buy so much food?"

Lin Dahe was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

“You should have told us when you bought so many things, especially since your cousin is a top student and no one knows these things better than her.”

“I was thinking of preparing some food, but your cousin said there was no need to. We live in the south, so it won’t get that cold. It’ll only be minus thirty degrees at most.”

"And it will only last seven days at most. It is very likely that the temperature will return to normal after a few days. How can you possibly use up all that food you bought?"

Gao Xiaomei felt a pang of heartache.

Lin Meiyun also looked distressed: "You are still young. It's hard for you to control yourself and not spend so much money recklessly. As your elders, we have an obligation to supervise you."

“I’m your uncle, I would never harm you. You had so much money back then, you should have kept it with me.” Gao Yaoqiang was heartbroken.

"Then what should I do now?"

Lin Luo pretended to be at a loss.

"Can you return all the things you bought? If you can, return them now."

Lin Dahe asked.

“Yes, many things you buy now can be returned. You can keep the refund with your aunt and get it from her anytime you need it,” Lin Meiyun chimed in.

"Why should I leave it here? I'm Xiao Luo's uncle. It's safer to keep the money here." Gao Yaoqiang immediately objected.

“I’m Xiao Luo’s aunt, it’s safe for you to keep your money with me.” Gao Xiaomei was also unhappy.

“I’m still Xiao Luo’s uncle. By blood, I’m the closest to him, so the money should be in my hands,” Lin Dahe added.

"Dogs fight!"

Lin Luo was overjoyed.

He simply said he intended to exchange the goods for money, and the four of them immediately started arguing over the unequal distribution.

Of course, Lin Luo's words were just to deceive the four of them.

Tomorrow is the end of the Ice Age; unless he's insane, he wouldn't exchange goods for money.

Lin Dahe and Gao Yaoqiang argued heatedly, their faces turning red, and it looked like they were about to come to blows.

Lin Luo really wanted to grab a stool and some melon seeds and watch the show that was about to unfold.

However, that would be too arrogant, and his thoughts would likely be seen through.

"Stop fighting. We'll talk about the rest after we get the money. We haven't even gotten the money yet, so why are you fighting?"

Gao Xiaomei and Lin Meiyun quickly separated the two.

Lin Dahe and Gao Yaoqiang held back for the time being, deciding to first swindle the money from Lin Luo.

"Xiao Luo, how about this: tomorrow you return the things you can return, and we'll handle the things you can't return," Lin Dahe said.

"As for the money you have, leave it with us for now. We are your relatives and elders, so we certainly won't cheat you," Gao Yaoqiang chimed in.

"I believe you."

Lin Luo nodded emphatically.

"Go back now and take stock of your belongings. See if there's anything you can return directly," Lin Meiyun said with a "kind" smile.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Lin Luo pretended to be in a hurry and immediately returned home.

After Lin Luo left, the four of them started figuring out how to divide the money.

It was as if the money didn't belong to Lin Luo, but to all four of them.

They eventually decided to split the money equally.

No matter how much money they received from Lin Luo, it was divided equally into four parts.

After returning home, Lin Luo lay down on her soft sofa.

The sofa is the most high-end sofa in RT-Mart, and the whole set costs 200,000 yuan.

Lin Luo lay on the sofa, feeling quite comfortable.

As for his promise to return the goods, that was just a way to deceive the four people.

Just then, Lin Luo's phone rang.

He slowly answered the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end.

"Hello! Who is this?"

"Brother Lin, you seem to have a bad memory. I am Zhou Jun, the general manager of Black Sky Loan Company."

"It's General Manager Zhou. I've been so busy lately that I didn't recognize you at first. I'm really sorry."

"It's alright, it's alright. I know Brother Lin is a busy man. The reason I called is just to ask if you could avoid paying back some of the money you owe."

“We didn’t say a month, only half a month has passed,” Lin Luo said, frowning.

"We agreed on a one-month period, but our company is having some cash flow problems. Why don't you pay the interest first? That'll be 500,000 yuan," Zhou Jun said.

"I'm really short of funds right now, otherwise I would definitely pay you back. How about I get the money back in three days and give you an extra 500,000?"

Lin Luo said very generously.

As long as Zhou Jun doesn't come looking for me today, it doesn't matter.

"This puts me in a difficult position."

Zhou Jun hesitated.

"You're supposed to be a boss, yet you lack even this much guts. I'll give you another 100,000, but that's all I can offer."

Lin Luo feigned anger and said, "If you insist on taking back this 500,000, that's fine, but then we won't have any more opportunities to cooperate."

"Brother Lin, don't be angry. I don't need the 500,000. As for the extra 600,000 you offered, I can also refuse that. But could you count me in?"

Zhou Jun said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"You need money so urgently, this business must be huge. I'd like to join in too."

"If you get caught, you'll lose your head. You need to think this through."

Lin Luo already understood Zhou Jun's meaning.

Zhou Jun suspected he was involved in that kind of business before, which is why he was so generous with his money.

Since Zhou Jun already thought that way, he couldn't be bothered to explain.

“I am well aware of the seriousness of this matter, otherwise I would not have called you. Brother Lin must have some means to do this. If I am not mistaken, you are still short of funds.”

"Yes, we're still short a few million."

"I have three million on hand. How much will you pay me back when I lend it to you?"

"I can double your money; I can return six million to you out of three million."

Lin Luo was ready to "lie flat" and wait for the upcoming Ice Age apocalypse.

He never expected that there would be such a traitor as Zhou Jun, who would even send him money.

"That's a bit too little."

Zhou Jun had done this kind of business before and knew how profitable it could be.

Generally, if you invest three million, you'll get back at least fifteen million.

This kind of business is much more lucrative than loan sharking.

This is also why Zhou Jun can't forget Lin Luo.

"The first time will definitely be less, but the next time it will be more." Lin Luo was also talking nonsense.

"Okay, give me a bank account number, I'll transfer the money now."

Zhou Jun immediately took out three million and transferred it to Lin Luo.

He was deeply entrenched in the area and wasn't afraid that Lin Luo would change his mind.

In fact, Zhou Jun still had some doubts about Lin Luo, feeling that he might not be involved in that kind of business.

But he wasn't afraid at all if Lin Luo dared to lie or deceive him.

Zhou Jun has a million ways to make Lin Luo regret being born.
