Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Butler Zhou immediately closed the door and rushed into the house to find Master Li.

"Master, it's not good."

Butler Zhou recounted the entire conversation to Master Li, then stood respectfully to his side.

Master Li's brows were furrowed; this was Battalion Commander Zhou sending someone to give him a warning.

I never expected that the couple had such powerful backgrounds.

If it were just before acid rain, he wouldn't take a mere battalion commander seriously.

However, in these extraordinary times, military power is more important than political power.

Li Jiahao, the eldest son of the Li family, entered the house with his wife.

Seeing his father's displeasure, he pulled Butler Zhou aside to find out what was going on.

Li Jiahao pondered for a moment, then spoke to Master Li:

“Dad, things are different now. Battalion Commander Zhou is in charge of this rescue site, so he can be considered the top leader here.”

Offending him will only do us harm. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

This was my second brother's fault; we were in the wrong. How about we send something over as an apology, and that'll settle things here?

At this moment, Li Jiawei opened the door and entered the room, where he heard Li Jiahao's words.

His eyes widened, and he rushed forward, grabbing Li Jiahao by the collar, gritting his teeth as he said:

"So you're just going to let it go because you're not the one who's embarrassed? Absolutely not. I'm telling you right now."

Old Li's mustache twitched up, and he slammed his cane against the ground twice.

"Second brother, let go of your eldest brother. What kind of behavior is this?"

"That's settled then. Butler Zhou, please prepare some gifts and go to apologize."

Mr. Li pointed at Li Jiawei.

"You just stay in your room and don't go out and cause trouble, or you can forget about me giving you money."

Forced by Li Ye's threat, Li Jiawei could only lower his head and utter a single "yes".

His eyes were dark; it was impossible for him to let this go!

A flash of lightning and a deafening roar that pierced the air sent shivers down everyone's spines.

The howling wind, mixed with the pattering raindrops, pounded against the windowpane like cannonballs.

The windows vibrated incessantly, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Water seeped in through the cracks, leaving watermarks on the wall below the window.

When the thunder sounded, Ye Jingmo opened his eyes sharply and got up quickly to go to the window to check.

Everything outside the window was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see anything at all.

Ye Jingmo rummaged through his backpack and found some clothes, then used them to seal the cracks in the window.

Jiang Li opened her eyes groggily and saw a tall figure in front of the window.

It startled her, who hadn't even realized what was happening.

"Brother Mo, why are you standing by the window?"

Jiang Li asked softly, then lifted the covers, got up, and walked to Ye Jingmo's side.

Ye Jingmo stepped aside, and Jiang Li could see the window swaying in the wind and rain.

And the leaking window cracks were plugged up by clothes.

Will the glass window shatter from the tremor?

Jiang Li was worried that if the glass broke, rainwater would flood the house.

This house could be turned into a fishpond, enough to support the three of them and their dog.

Jiang Li recalled seeing something she had once seen: taping an "X" onto glass could increase its strength.

Jiang Li didn't know if this theory was correct, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Jiang Li took out some tape from her spatial storage and prepared to apply it to the glass.

Looking at the window, which was two heads taller than her, Jiang Li turned around to get a stool.

Ye Jingmo took the tape from his hand and easily connected the four corners of the window to form a large "X".

The vibrations in the glass windows are not as noticeable anymore.

It seems this method is effective. Jiang Li sighed in relief.

There was a loud knocking on the door. Jiang Li was filled with doubt, as she didn't know anyone here except Huang Caihe and Zhou Tian.

But both of them are recuperating on the fifteenth floor, so it's impossible for them to come knocking now.

Ye Jingmo tucked the stun gun into his waistband, walked to the door, and hooked the chain.

This was the hotel's original design.

The chain is hooked to the wall, limiting the door's opening range to the length of the chain, preventing a person from rushing into the room.

"who are you?"

Ye Jingmo asked through the door.

"I am the Li family's steward, surnamed Zhou. I have come to apologize to you both on behalf of the second young master."

Li family?

Jiang Li, who hadn't quite caught up yet, searched her memory and then remembered that the young master who coveted the pudding seemed to be surnamed Li.

Thinking of the arrogant manner of that second young master of the Li family.

Could there be some kind of trap here?

"I, Zhou, have come alone. Please open the door and let me in."

The door slowly opened, and Ye Jingmo shielded Jiang Li behind him, staring coldly at Butler Zhou, who was dressed in a tuxedo.

"Master has learned the whole story. It was all because the Second Young Master was young and impetuous and offended you both. He has specially sent this small gift to you both, hoping to turn hostility into friendship."

"This matter is now closed."

Butler Zhou looked apologetic and bent down to put the bag he was carrying inside the door.

"Tell your master to keep a close eye on your second young master. If he comes knocking again, we can't guarantee what he'll do."

Jiang Li peeked out from behind Ye Jingmo, a bright smile on her lips, but the words she uttered were icy cold.

Ye Jingmo stared at Butler Zhou with equally icy eyes.

His taut muscles, without exaggeration, could easily snap a person's neck.

Since becoming the Li family's butler, Butler Zhou, who hadn't been treated like this in a long time, showed a hint of astonishment on his face.

"Yes, I will tell the master."

Butler Zhou maintained a polite smile, turned around and quickly left, as if there were wolves and tigers behind him.

Ye Jingmo pushed the bag to the corner with his foot and then closed the door.

Jiang Li put on gloves and a mask, then opened the bag to check.

Inside were ten packets of instant noodles, a handful of wilted greens, two apples, and a can of fish.

"It seems the Li family has gone all out, but why are they suddenly apologizing?"

Jiang Li was completely baffled by this.

Ye Jingmo said directly, "It should be Battalion Commander Zhou who intervened."

"Then this will trouble Battalion Commander Zhou? Should we give these things to him?"

Jiang Li didn't understand the intricacies of officialdom very well; she just wanted to thank Battalion Commander Zhou.

Ye Jingmo shook his head. "There's no need. He's a disciplined person. He probably won't accept these things."

The door started banging again.

No, who is it this time?

Jiang Li was completely baffled; less than ten minutes later, another person arrived.

"Hello, I am the company commander of Battalion Commander Zhou's guard company."

The powerful sound was very loud even through the door.

Is Battalion Commander Zhou here on business?

Ye Jingmo opened the door, and outside were three soldiers in combat uniforms.

Do you have anything?

The leader was a soldier with a scar on his face; he hesitated, unsure how to speak.

“We learned from Mr. Huang Caihe that you once collected information about a pharmacy.”

"We want to buy medicine from you. Our brothers went out to rescue people, but a sudden downpour hit and they were attacked by a crocodile lurking in the water."

“They were all carried back covered in blood and needed antibiotics and painkillers.”

Jiang Li was taken aback by what she heard, her heart filled with conflict.

If I give it to her, I'm afraid she'll keep pestering me endlessly; if I don't, I feel guilty towards these soldiers who risked their lives for the people.
