Snowstorm: I’m Super Rich in the Apocalypse

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: The Difficulties Faced by the Polar Night

Chen Lu led them to a table, and the process was soon completed.

After saying goodbye to Chen Lu, they went to Zhang Huishu’s home. They had to inform her that Lu Ruiming was unable to return. After all, they had previously promised to bring him back, but they had truly not anticipated that Lu Ruiming’s mental fortitude was so weak. In the apocalypse, people went mad either because they were terrorized by murder and looting or because they couldn’t handle the stress of such events—a rare occurrence indeed.

They arrived at Zhang Huishu’s residence and knocked on the door. It took a good while before Zhang Huishu came to open it, having first lit an oil lamp before answering the door.

Upon opening the door and seeing Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, her eyes lit up. She looked past them, hoping to catch a glimpse of her dearly missed eldest son.

But even as she looked far into the distance, she did not see Lu Ruiming, and her face turned ghostly pale: “Where is Ruiming?”

Gu Pan said, “Let’s talk inside.” Discussing in the hallway would affect others, especially since Zhang Huishu was likely to cry.

Once they were inside with the door closed, Zhang Huishu had already begun wiping away tears: “Didn’t you promise to bring Ruiming back to me?”

Gu Pan nodded: “We indeed made such a promise, but no one expected that Huang Suzhen would die, and that upon learning he was not a child of the Lu Family, Ruiming suffered mental trauma and was hospitalized in the psychiatric department. There’s no way we could bring him back in his current state.”
