Chapter 19: Leaving

Xu Ruihan looked at Yao Ran thoughtfully and said, "No need. The money you gave is enough."

Now that he had said that, Yao Ran just accepted his and Grandpa Xu's kindness. Walking out from the warehouse, Xu Ruihan looked at her and said, "I will take you back."

Yao Ran thought for a while and shook her head, "I need to wait for my people to transport the goods. You can go back first. Thank you for today, Young Master Xu."

Xu Ruihan didn't force her, "All right. Be careful."

After Xu Ruihan and his men left, Yao Ran contacted Grandpa Xu. "Grandpa Xu, I have received the goods. Thank you for the early birthday gift."

Grandpa Xu smiled and asked, "It's good as long as you like it. Have you talked to your elder brother Ruihan?"

Yao Ran said, "Yes."

"How is it? Do you like him?"

Listening to Grandpa Xu's eager voice, Yao Ran felt awkward and changed the subject, "Grandpa Xu, I heard that there may be a typhoon coming in two months. You should stock up on some supplies and move to higher ground."

With Grandpa Xu's wide network of contacts, he may already know about this, but Yao Ran still wants to remind him. After accepting his gift, she could only use this small gesture to repay his kindness.

"Good. Indeed, having a granddaughter is better than having a grandson. Ran Ran, you should consider Ruihan. If you like him, Grandpa will definitely fulfill your wish and let you two get married as soon as possible."

Yao Ran listened to Grandpa Xu's happy laughter and said helplessly, "Grandpa Xu, I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you."

"All right. Go and do your things."

After hanging up the call with Grandpa Xu, Yao Ran walked back to the warehouse and put everything into her space. After leaving the empty warehouse, she called a car and waited for more than thirty minutes before the car arrived.

As soon as the car drove out of the warehouse, Yao Ran's cell phone rang. She saw the name on the screen and answered the phone.

"Hello, Grandpa Hua."

The next second, a gentle old man's voice came, "Yao Ran, the medicine you want is ready. When do you want to get it?"

Yao Ran thought for a moment before asking, "Grandpa Hua, can you deliver the medicine?"

"Of course. If you give me the address, I will have my people deliver it today."

"All right. Thank you, Grandpa Hua."

Grandpa Hua thought of Grandpa Yao and sighed, "This child. Your grandfather and I are friends. Taking care of you is what I should do. If you need more medicine, just tell me."

Yao Ran smiled slightly when she heard what he said. After talking for a little bit more, Grandpa Hua hung up the phone because he didn't want her to think of her grandfather and became sad.

After sending Grandpa Hua the address of the rented warehouse, Yao Ran said to the driver, "Sir, please go to this address."

"All right."

Two hours later, Yao Ran arrived at the warehouse. After paying the driver, she came out of the car. Before she could take a step, a dozen large trucks arrived one after another.

Yao Ran knew that these must be medicines sent by Grandpa Hua, so she asked the worker to move them into the warehouse. When they unloaded everything and left, it was already dark. Yao Ran turned off the lights, put everything into her space, and locked the warehouse.

In the middle of the night, she received a call from Grandpa Mu. Yao Ran gave him the address of the warehouse and quickly got out of bed.

Fuel is one of the state-regulated commodities. It is a crime to engage in private transactions. Because of this, Grandpa Mu contacted Yao Ran in the middle of the night to deliver the goods.

When Yao Ran arrived at the warehouse, the moon was still high in the sky. One of the men approached her and said, "Miss Yao, Chairman Mu ordered us to deliver the goods here."

Yao Ran nodded and went to open the warehouse for them. She looked at the team leader and said, "Please help me move everything inside."

"Yes, Miss Yao."

Yao Ran stood aside and watched quietly as men in black uniforms moved hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil from trucks to the warehouse.

After a while, the air was filled with the smell of gasoline, diesel, ethanol, kerosene, and other oils. By the time they were finished, the sky was tinted with a faint light blue. After the trucks left under the cover of darkness, Yao Ran collected all the oil barrels and put them into the space.

Now that she has received everything, it is time for her to leave Haicheng City. However, before that, she had to go somewhere.

Yao Ran drove the small truck back to her small apartment and took a nap. When she woke up a few hours later, she packed everything up and put them into the space. Looking at the empty small apartment, Yao Ran didn't have any regrets or nostalgia; she was just a little uneasy and scared.

She carried her small backpack, locked the door, and left the small apartment where she had lived for more than four years.

After leaving her apartment building, she visited nearby roadside stalls and restaurants, ordering hundreds of portions from every place. This might be the last time she comes to this place, so she wants to buy more of her favorite foods.

After eating breakfast and putting the food into the space, Yao Ran drove the small truck to one of the most luxurious residential areas in Haicheng City.
