Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

After a while, Butler Bai came over and said, "Master, Lin Zhen is here."

"Let him go to the small reception room next door." Bai Tang said.

"Yes!" Butler Bai nodded.

Lin Zhen and Zhao Xiao walked into the hall together. Butler Bai walked up to Lin Zhen and said, "Mr. Lin, please follow me!"

Zhao Xiao was about to follow, but Butler Bai looked at her with contempt, "The master of the house only saw Mr. Lin."

Zhao Xiao let go of her hand awkwardly and looked at Lin Zhen pitifully. Lin Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay. Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

"Someone, take this young lady to have tea." Butler Bai called out.

A maid asked Zhao Xiao to go to the other side and presented him with a lot of fruit snacks. Zhao Xiao had never seen so many good things before and couldn't wait to eat them.

The maid curled her lips, walked out and closed the door.

Lin Zhen walked into the small reception room and Bai Tang was already inside.

"Master Bai!" Lin Zhen bowed respectfully.

Bai Tang smiled, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. It's been a month since you entered the Bai family, but this is the first time I see you. I've been too busy recently because of the monsters that are rampant. I really can't spare the time."

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "The head of the Bai family is busy with many things. Small people like us don't need to worry about it."

"Mr. Lin, how can you be a nobody? You are a supernatural being!" Bai Tang smiled and poured a cup of tea for Lin Zhen, "Mr. Lin, please have some tea."

"Thank you!" Lin Zhen was flattered. He didn't expect that the head of the Bai family would personally pour tea for him.

"Mr. Lin is a local?" Bai Tang asked while looking at Lin Zhen.

"Yes, I was born and raised in Licheng and grew up in Licheng." Lin Zhen nodded.

"I heard that you have a wife and children? Why haven't I seen your children?" Bai Tang asked.

Lin Zhen's face turned pale. Did they know something?

Lin Zhen smiled bitterly, "So many disasters happened after the end of the world, and my wife and son died in the disaster."

"Then who is the woman who came with Mr. Lin just now..." Bai Tang asked even though he knew the answer.

"I just met her not long ago. I found that she looked like my deceased wife, and she was alone and helpless, so I brought her with me. Although my special abilities are not outstanding, I can still provide her with enough food and clothing." Lin Zhen answered carefully.

"Really?" Bai Tang smiled, "Then how did Mr. Lin get his supernatural powers? Did you inject the Holy Blood? As far as I know, Mr. Lin's family is average, so I'm afraid he can't afford the Holy Blood, right?"

Lin Zhen's forehead was covered with sweat. "No, it wasn't an injection of holy blood. I awakened naturally."

"Naturally awakened?" Bai Tang looked at Lin Zhen. "I have never seen a person whose supernatural power was awakened naturally. What caused Mr. Lin to awaken naturally?"

"This, this..." Lin Zhen's sweat dripped down.

"I'm afraid it was a man named Leng Yi who helped you?" Bai Tang suddenly raised his voice, which scared Lin Zhen.

"Ah?" Lin Zhen's face turned pale. They actually knew Leng Yi?

"How did he do it? Injected you with holy blood?" Bai Tang asked.

Lin Zhen hurriedly shook his head, not daring to lie, "Actually, I don't know either..."

Bai Tang frowned, "Mr. Lin still refuses to tell the truth?"

Lin Zhen knelt down with a plop. "I'm telling the truth. I really didn't know. I was seriously injured at the time. When I woke up, the wound on my chest had healed, and I also inexplicably gained superpowers."

"What I said was true. I had no idea what was going on. Later I asked Leng Yi, and he said that he used his supernatural powers to heal me. He might have awakened my supernatural powers accidentally, so I might have awakened them naturally."

Bai Tang sneered and thought to himself that you were the only one who believed his nonsense. If it were really that easy to awaken other people's superpowers by using superpowers, the streets would be full of people with superpowers.

"So that's how it is. I am really ignorant." Bai Tang remained calm and then smiled. "Mr. Lin, what are you doing? Please stand up."

Lin Zhen's knees went weak and he stood up tremblingly.

Bai Tang asked again, "Since Leng Yi helped you awaken your superpowers, why didn't you stay with him and go to our Bai family alone?"

"Because, because..." Lin Zhen's brain raced, and he suddenly found an excuse, "Because Leng Yi is stubborn and self-willed. He took advantage of the fact that he helped me awaken my superpowers and made me obey him in everything."

"Even when I worked for the Zeng family, I never received any compensation. His abilities were strong and he had supplies, but I couldn't. I still had to support my family in the future, so I broke up with him..."

Lin Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead, wondering whether the head of the Bai family believed it.

Naturally, he didn't dare to say that Leng Yi couldn't tolerate him because he killed Bai Yi and took his woman.

He didn't dare to blame Leng Yi for the murder of Bai Yi. After all, he was the one who had a grudge against Bai Yi, and he would know it once he checked.

Even if Leng Yi killed Bai Yi, it was to avenge himself, and it would still implicate himself, so he might as well not mention it.

They still haven't found out who the murderer is after all this time, so they probably don't have any clues yet.

"So that's how it is!" Bai Tang nodded, but he didn't believe a word of it in his heart.

He has basically guessed that the person who killed his nephew was Lin Zhen, or at least he was related to him.

The matters concerning his wife and children, and his current woman, are all related to Bai Yi, so who else could it be if not him?

However, he did not want to pursue the matter now. After all, Bai Yi was dead and had no value anymore. If he did not care about Lin Zhen's murder, he would work for him wholeheartedly.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for making the trip. I have asked someone to prepare gifts, and they will be delivered to your residence later." Bai Tang said with a smile.

Lin Zhen's worried heart suddenly settled down. He didn't mention Bai Yi's matter, so he probably didn't know about it yet.

I can get away with it.

"Thank you, Master Bai!" Lin Zhen hurriedly bowed again.

When I walked out of the reception room, I found that I was sweating and my shirt was wet.

When he returned to the hall, he found that Zhao Xiao was not there. He hurriedly asked the servant next to him, and the servant brought Zhao Xiao out.

"Where have you been?" Lin Zhen was a little angry.

Zhao Xiao was carrying a variety of snacks in large and small bags. "The Bai family took me out to eat delicious food. Look, there are so many. They said I can take them all home."

Lin Zhen took a look and thought that these were not rare things. Of course, he didn't dare to say anything since they were still in the Bai family. He took Zhao Xiao's hand and walked out.

There was already a car waiting to pick them up outside, with gifts ready in the car. Zhao Xiao saw them and started to get fussy again, "Why are there so many things? Are they all for us?"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Well, these are all for us. Take them back and eat them slowly."

"Lin Zhen, you are so nice to me!" Zhao Xiao gave Lin Zhen a kiss on the face, and Lin Zhen's face turned red.

Bai Zhan saw the interaction between the two in the living room and rolled his eyes.

Seeing Bai Tang coming over, he hurriedly said, "Father, I sent someone to find some catfish crystal cores, and they really can replenish energy."
