The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies

Chapter 282: Lackey

“Really? You dared to ask for it, huh?” 

Seeing her point at the helicopter, Young Master Rong Sanshao’s adrenaline surged as he exclaimed excitedly, “If I give it to you, the old man will definitely kill me.” 

The old man had spent a lot of resources and connections to get it. 

Before the disaster, he would have had no problem fulfilling the bet by sending her a helicopter. 

But now… to put it bluntly, in the old man’s eyes, his worth was less than that of the helicopter. He wouldn’t dare ask for it even if he were beaten to death. 

Jiang Ning mocked him mercilessly, “If you can’t do it, don’t boast so much. I don’t need the helicopter, but if you keep pestering me, don’t blame me for being rude.” 

She then called to the dog, “Coke, come back.” 

Coke released its bite, and seeing the threatened Tibetan Mastiff not daring to retaliate, it cautiously retreated to Rong Sanshao’s side. 

“What you said really hurts my pride,” Young Master Rong protested. “I can get you anything but the helicopter.” 

Feeling exasperated by the foolish rich kid, Jiang Ning sighed, “Fine, then help me get a few sets of radiation suits.” 

“No problem… Wait, why do you need radiation suits?” 

Jiang Ning stared at him without answering. 

Young Master Rong didn’t press further, “Alright, just wait.” 

Losing both face and pride, he angrily turned and walked away, dragging the Tibetan Mastiff with him. 

Back home, he threw the leash to the butler, “Uncle Guan, cook dog meat stew tonight!” 

“Young Master, what happened to your face?” 

What happened? It was all because of this useless dog. 

Kicking off his shoes, he angrily sat on the couch. 

Just then, Old Master Rong came downstairs from his study. Without even looking up, Young Master Rong said, “Dad, get me a few radiation suits.” 

Old Master Rong frowned, “Why do you need radiation suits?” 

“It’s not for me, it’s for the people at Building 50.” 

Old Master Rong’s cane flew over expertly, “Did you ignore my words? Do you really think I won’t break your legs for associating with people from Building 50?” 

Getting beaten outside, and now at home too. 

“Why can’t you just help me out?” Young Master Rong was frustrated. “Even Chief Ling protects the people at Building 50. They must have a strong background. They wouldn’t ask for radiation suits for no reason.” 

Maybe another earthquake will happen, causing a nuclear plant leak along the coast. 

“Dad, it’s hard to get radiation suits. Since you’re asking, make sure to get some for our family too.” 

Favors are like that; you get thinner each time you ask, so you need to ask for enough in one go. 

Old Master Rong frowned. Asking for radiation suits didn’t seem harmful to the Rong family. It might be good to test the waters with Building 50. 

“What happened to your face?” 

“Nothing, I fell while walking.” 

“You’re so young, and your limbs are already failing?” 

Young Master Rong stormed off to his room to tend to his face. 

Old Master Rong called the bodyguard on duty upstairs and finally learned the truth behind his son’s injuries. 

The brat was as stubborn as ever. He’s always courting death. 

… 

Jiang Ning hadn’t expected that a casual request would result in Young Master Rong actually finding the radiation suits. 

And he brought three sets. 

“Too bad there’s none for dogs, or I would’ve gotten one for you too.” 

Jiang Ning had asked Qin Chuan to find some, but radiation suits were controlled by special departments, and he couldn’t get them. 

Who knew the Rong family could obtain them so easily? 

She checked the radiation suits thoroughly; they were intact. 

She had to admit, her impression of the rich heir improved a bit. 

Jiang Ning spoke, “I can’t take these for free. What do you want in return?” 

Young Master Rong waved his hand dismissively, “A bet’s a bet, no need for you to give anything in return.” 

“I didn’t bet with you, and your dog has already been taught a lesson.” 

Receiving favors and not reciprocating can be a setup for future troubles. Jiang Ning wouldn’t accept the suits unless it was clear and straightforward. 

“If you don’t ask for anything, I won’t take them,” she said. 

“Come on, sis, does it have to be like this?” Young Master Rong was exasperated. “What could you possibly offer that the Rong family lacks?” 

Jiang Ning smiled and asked, “If you lack nothing, why are you so intent on getting close to us?” 

“You’re making this difficult. We’re just trying to be friends.” 

“Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly. I don’t make friends with unclear intentions.” 

Young Master Rong was at a loss, his face turning red from frustration. 

After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke, “You don’t need to give any supplies. Just consider it as owing the Rong family a favor. If you have a chance in the future, repay it; if not, that’s fine too.” 

“No way, what if you want me to commit crimes for you?” 

Young Master Rong nearly choked, “The Rong family has plenty of bodyguards. If we needed someone to commit crimes, it wouldn’t be you.” 

But Jiang Ning was cautious by nature. She closed the door and went upstairs to find Huo Yishen. 

After a bit of thought, Huo Yishen said, “The Rong family probably doesn’t know about your special ability. They might think we have significant backing, so they want to establish a connection for potential future benefits.” 

The apocalypse was realistic; if you were skilled, people would go to great lengths to befriend you. Sometimes, a piece of information or a simple favor could help someone gain benefits or escape death. 

Jiang Ning agreed, “Do we keep the radiation suits?” 

“We can accept them,” Huo Yishen analyzed. “If we don’t, the Rong family will find other ways to approach us. It’s better to accept them and give them peace of mind, which also buys us some peace.” 

“Alright, I’ll follow your advice,” Jiang Ning said, otherwise, they wouldn’t have peace. 

So Jiang Ning accepted the radiation suits and said to Young Master Rong, “Thanks.” 

Young Master Rong smiled, feeling a bit pleased.  

It’s funny, every time he approached Building 50, something bad seemed to happen, so after completing the favor, he disappeared quickly. 

But Jiang Ning was frustrated when Young Master Rong stopped coming around, but his dog did. 

The Tibetan Mastiff came every day, barking a couple of times at the door. 

The dog’s bark sounded more like a call rather than a challenge. 

Unable to understand dog language, Jiang Ning let them sort it out themselves. 

She opened the door and let Coke out. 

Coke rushed out and pinned the Tibetan Mastiff to the ground. 

The large Tibetan Mastiff didn’t resist; instead, it lay on the ground with its limbs splayed out… 

Jiang Ning was stunned, “Is it here to surrender?” 

In the apocalypse, even people formed groups, so it made sense that dogs, who liked to gather, would do the same. 

Huo Yishen pondered, “Probably.” 

No matter how fierce Coke was, even scratching it with his claws, the Tibetan Mastiff didn’t fight back; instead, it exposed its soft belly in submission. 

Jiang Ning understood this meant it was showing submission. 

Sigh, Young Master Rong was one thing, but even his dog was like this. 

Coke is not afraid of fighting, but the scene in front of him made it unable to act. 

Coke tried pushing the Tibetan Mastiff’s belly with its paw, but it wouldn’t move. 

Jiang Ning thought the Tibetan Mastiff might have other intentions, so she used binoculars to observe closely, but found out it was the same gender as Coke which rules out any mating instincts. 

It was simply surrendering! 

Coke, feeling cold and proud, turned around and went back into the house.
