Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 444: Old Soul, Young Body

Although Yao Yuechuan had lowered his voice, everyone present was an ability user and heard what he said clearly.

When Long Yu heard this, he looked at Yao Yuechuan. Now that he examined him closely, he noticed some similarities between Yao Ran and Yao Yuechuan.

Both of them had similar round phoenix eyes, tall nose bridges, and plump red lips. If Yao Yuechuan had dropped his carefree demeanor and stayed quiet, even his temperament would resemble Yao Ran's.

After a moment of silence, Yao Ran withdrew her killing intent and asked, "Why did you ask if I activated the jade pendant or not?"

Hearing this, Yao Yuechuan motioned for her to untie him with his lips. Seeing his silly expression, Yao Ran rolled her eyes and retracted her vines.

Once freed, Yao Yuechuan rubbed his aching arms and said, "Besides being curious about whether you successfully activated the jade pendant or not, this matter is actually related to what The Ark is trying to do."

Yao Ran stared at him for a few seconds and then said, "Go on."

Seeing that she was finally willing to talk calmly, Yao Yuechuan pulled her to sit down beside him and asked, "I believe you have heard of Project Zero, right?"

Nodding, Yao Ran replied, "Yes. Is there a connection between the jade pendant and Project Zero?"

Yao Yuechuan nodded and said, "Yes. If I remember correctly, Yehao should have sent you the file he found in the secret laboratory."

"You mean the file stating that Project Zero was founded by Grandfather?" Yao Ran asked with a frown.

Yao Yuechuan's eyes lit up as he said, "Yeah, that one. You must have read it, right?"

"Yes." Yao Ran paused for a second before asking, "So you are saying that Grandfather is really the one who planned and founded Project Zero?"

"Yes," Yao Yuechuan answered calmly.

Hearing this, Yao Ran's eyes dimmed. She clenched her hands tightly and asked, "Why did he do that?"

Yao Yuechuan rubbed his chin as he tried to recall his memories.

After a while, he said, "I actually found out about this by chance. At that time, Grandfather had just brought back a group of children from several orphanages, including Gao Shuwei and Yehao."

When he said that, Wu Yehao chimed in, "Did something happen that day?"

Yao Yuechuan turned to look at him and nodded. "Yes. Do you remember when Gao Shuwei asked to speak with Grandpa in private?"

Wu Yehao remembered that day clearly and replied, "Yes."

After his response, Yao Yuechuan continued, "That day, I was curious as to why he wanted a private conversation with Grandpa, so I secretly followed them. At the time, I never expected to overhear something so shocking."

He gazed at the gloomy sky outside before saying, "I remember that after Grandfather had the servants take the other orphans away, Gao Shuwei claimed that he had been reborn with memories of his past lives intact."

The moment his words fell, Yao Ran and Long Yu reacted at the same time. "What did you just say?"

After they spoke, the two of them exchanged glances while Yao Yuechuan and the others looked at them.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Yao Yuechuan said, "I know this might sound ridiculous, but that is exactly what Gao Shuwei told Grandpa. At the time, Grandpa didn't believe him either." "However, five years later, Grandpa suddenly began taking him everywhere and personally nurturing him to be the next heir. Grandpa also plans to marry Lan Lifei to him so that he can legally assume the leadership position. That year, Gao Shuwei was only twelve years old."

"But, what caught my attention wasn't just his ridiculous claims, but also his maturity and scheming mind, which didn't match his age. It was as if an old and weary soul resided within a young body. I even felt pity for him back then and often brought him small gifts."

At this point, Yao Yuechuan's eyes dimmed. Recalling what had happened after his grandfather passed away, the sibling-like affection he once had for Gao Shuwei vanished without a trace.

Clenching his fists tightly, Yao Yuechuan continued, "Six years later, Grandpa secretly planned and founded Project Zero, appointing Gao Shuwei as the chief director. Two months after that, he established the Yao Security Company."

When he said this, the scattered pieces of information Yao Ran had gathered so far suddenly connected. Although there were still some missing details, Yao Yuechuan's story was enough for her to understand the true reason behind the establishment of the Yao Security Company. After a moment of thought, Yao Ran asked, "So the reason Grandfather suddenly established the Yao Security Company is for Project Zero?"

Yao Yuechuan nodded. "Yes."

"Then what about Project Zero? What is it, actually?" Yao Ran asked again.

Yao Yuechuan shook his head and explained, "I don't know the details, but it seems to be a very grand project aimed at saving humanity. In the past, I didn't understand what they were planning. But now, I know they are trying to restore the world and end the natural disasters."

The moment Yao Ran heard this, her eyes flickered with disbelief as she thought, 'Save humanity and end the natural disasters? Is this really the purpose of Project Zero? Then why do they need to conduct those inhumane experiments?'

'Could it be that Gao Shuwei was just using Grandfather to formulate and fund his plan while his real objective was not to save humanity or end natural disasters but to establish The Ark?'

Noticing his fiancée's complicated mood, Long Yu stood up and walked over to her. As he sat beside Yao Ran, he took her hands and held them.

Sensing his warm hands covering hers, Yao Ran snapped out of her deep thoughts. After calming down, she looked at Yao Yuechuan and asked, "So you came here to investigate this

matter?"

Yao Yuechuan shook his head and replied, "I came here because I'm worried about Yehao."
