Natural Disaster Strikes: I Stockpiled Billions and Carved My Way Through the Apocalypse

Hogg laughed: "I might believe anyone else who's been a scoundrel to you, but I wouldn't believe A-Jiu."

"Husband, believe me! Do you know why he treated me like this? It's because I caught him red-handed trying to steal General Manager Wei's supplies!" Wu Qinglan stopped her tantrum, stood up, pointed at Mu Jiuyue, and loudly announced, "Just now, I saw him come from the warehouse with my own eyes! If you don't believe me, you can search him. The warehouse key is on him!"

Everyone turned to look at Mu Jiuyue at the same time.

Mu Jiuyue was also straightforward, directly showing the key in her hand and saying, "Yes, the key is indeed on me. However, it was given to me by Wei Lie."

"Look, he admitted it!" Wu Qinglan was extremely arrogant because she didn't expect Mu Jiuyue to actually admit it. "I caught him red-handed, and when he realized he couldn't escape, he tried to... Waaah, I'm so ashamed! I know that the men living on this mountain have been celibate for a long time, but you can't treat me like this! I'm already married to Hogg, how could he... I know I'm charming, but that's no excuse for you to have designs on me!"

Mu Jiuyue: "..."

Hogg: "..."

Those present who knew Mu Jiuyue's true gender: "..."

Wei Lie arrived late: "What happened?"

Everyone looked at Wu Qinglan with mixed feelings, but Wu Qinglan stepped forward without hesitation: "President Wei, I've caught a big rat for you! It's him! Mu Jiu!"

Wei Lie raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

"Look, he admitted it himself. He stole the key from you, trying to steal the supplies before anyone noticed!" Wu Qinglan said smugly. "That's right, his cave is so small, how much could it hold? After more than a year of the apocalypse, even if he stored up a lot of supplies, he would have eaten them all by now! He saw that Boss Wei was eating well, dressing well, and living a good life, so he became jealous and betrayed us! Boss Wei, you can't protect him!"

Mu Jiuyue said innocently, "Oh, she forgot to mention that she said we're having an affair. She also said that as a man, my indifference to the women of Wujia Village means I must have something going on with you. Otherwise, why was I sent on the last mission instead of Hogg? She also said that you'll get tired of me sooner or later and dump me."

Wei Lie: "..."

Hogg: "Cough cough cough cough."

Others: "Cough cough cough cough."

Wu Qinglan said smugly, "Am I wrong? You always run to Boss Wei's cave, and every time you go in, you stay for hours. Every time you leave, you're either touching your stomach or holding your back!"

Mu Jiuyue looked at Wu Qinglan with a complicated expression: "Is it possible that I went to Wei Lie's cave purely for food?"

“That’s right, he was eaten by President Wei!” Wu Qinglan said.

This time it was Wei Lie's turn to cough: "Cough cough cough cough, don't talk nonsense!"

Wei Lie glanced quickly at Mu Jiuyue.

Mu Jiuyue calmly spread her hands: "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do. But it's contradictory to say I was being a pervert to you!"

"What's so contradictory about it?" Wu Qinglan asked back.

"Since I'm interested in men, why would I act like a scoundrel towards women?" Mu Jiuyue retorted.

Wu Qinglan was taken aback by the question, and replied with a slightly flustered look in her eyes, "How would I know? Maybe you're two-faced? You're interested in men, but you also have feelings for women!"

"Then what makes you think I'm a two-pronged plug?" Mu Jiuyue also became interested.

“Is that even a question? What person doesn’t love meat?” Wu Qinglan said emphatically.

"So you mean that before you married Hogg, you were also a restless womanizer, flirting with men everywhere and being a bride every night?" Mu Jiuyue asked.

"How could that be!" Wu Qinglan exclaimed. "Husband, you have to believe me. I have no other man but you! Don't listen to Mu Jiu's instigation!"

Hogg smiled enigmatically and said, "It's alright, I'm not stupid. I have a brain."

Wu Qinglan finally relaxed, her pregnant belly protruding, and looked at Mu Jiuyue with disdain: "Can men and women be the same? Women can endure loneliness, but men can't!"

Mu Jiuyue nodded with an air of authority: "That makes sense."

Wu Qinglan said smugly, "So, what do you have to say? I guessed right! President Wei, why don't you arrest her and torture her to see just how much stuff she stole!"

"So you're so eager to get rid of me just so Hogg can take over?" Mu Jiuyue had seen all sorts of schemes in her past life, but she still couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't! I'm just telling the truth," Wu Qinglan said. "As for my husband, he's always been President Wei's right-hand man. Whatever he does is naturally planned by President Wei."

"So you really are a good person!" Mu Jiuyue said with a smile. "Wei Lie, did you hear that?"

Wei Lie sighed helplessly and said, "Hogg, is that what you think too?"

Hogg replied in surprise, "How could that be? I just said I have a brain, how could I be as stupid as her? Most of my wealth is with Ajiu. In this apocalypse, resources are life. I've entrusted my life to her, why would I be afraid of her?"

Wu Qinglan was stunned: "Husband, what are you saying!"

“I mean, you’re an idiot!” Hogg said rudely. “Stop embarrassing yourself here! Get back here right now!”

"I'm not leaving!" Wu Qinglan stubbornly shook off Hogg's hand and pointed at Mu Jiuyue, saying, "Why aren't you punishing him for stealing President Wei's key? I'm not having it!"

“Alright, I’ll make you admit defeat. Originally, this wasn’t a secret. It’s just that outsiders didn’t know.” Wei Lie said, “My relationship with Ajiu is the purest of all cooperation.”

"Impossible!" Wu Qinglan exclaimed again, "Absolutely impossible!"

"If you believe your accusations are true..."

"Every word I said is true. If even one word is a lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!" Wu Qinglan was truly going all out to bring Mu Jiuyue down.

“Alright, then I’ll let you give up. Ah Jiu is actually a woman,” Wei Lie said. “A genuine woman.”

Wu Qinglan was completely stunned, unable to utter a single word.

Mu Jiuyue returned the warehouse key to Wei Lie, then turned to Wu Qinglan and said, "Aren't you surprised? But I really have no interest in women, especially pregnant women. Besides, I'm straight."

Wu Qinglan screamed, "This is impossible! It's fake! It's fake! He must be lying!"

Mu Jiuyue was too lazy to pay attention to this crazy woman. She waved to the others and turned around and swaggered away.

Wu Qinglan was still screaming behind her: "Even if she's a woman, she's not a good person! What she's doing..."

She was already somewhat incoherent.

Because she realized that no matter what she said, she couldn't make sense of it.

Hogg grew impatient: "Are you ever going to stop?"

"I..." Wu Qinglan was about to speak when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. Looking down, she saw that her water had broken.

Wu Qinglan screamed, "Ahhh, I'm going into labor! I'm going into labor!"
