Chapter 241: Chapter 241: A Clear Conscience Is Enough

When the word "typhoon" reached Hua Buwan’s ears, a spark of realization flashed across her normally placid eyes, as dazzling as a meteor streaking across the night sky. In an instant, she grasped the underlying implication. Previously, Ling Qianjun had watched the short videos Hua Buwan had carefully downloaded for him. Through that footage, he learned that their current location would soon suffer a rare typhoon strike. According to historical records, this impending storm was of a super-typhoon category, and its sheer destructive power was bound to have an extremely massive and far-reaching impact on the Lingnan Region.

Having learned this news early on, the meticulous Hua Buwan had already begun planning countermeasures. She knew all too well that in the face of such a severe natural disaster, ample supplies were the key to ensuring survival and mitigating risks. Therefore, she resolved to stockpile as many resources as possible, especially those specifically needed to combat a typhoon. After a period of relentless effort, her personal space now boasted an impressive array of goods, piled high. Thousands of neatly arranged shelves stretched as far as the eye could see, densely packed with all kinds of merchandise. From food and beverages to medical supplies, from protective gear to emergency tools, every item represented Hua Buwan’s hard work and dedication.

However, despite these remarkable results, she did not dare relax in the slightest. She was acutely aware that against the coming super typhoon, her current stockpile might still not be enough to handle every potential scenario. She silently reminded herself that her hoarding journey was far from over; she had to keep up the effort!

It was then that Hua Buwan suddenly remembered a problem that had been troubling her for a long time: how could she help the Ling family find a suitable opportunity to earn merit, so they could successfully expunge their penal status as exiled convicts and become commoners again? Just as she was racking her brains over this, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that Ling Qianjun had already formulated a plan, setting his sights on this impending typhoon.

The storm was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity. Once it ravaged the land, disaster and human suffering would inevitably follow. Stepping forward at that crucial moment to save the people and protect the city would undoubtedly be a monumental act of merit. If the people they rescued held prominent status or were numerous, and if their actions generated widespread and profound influence, then even a family in as difficult a predicament as the Ling family might earn the precious qualification to become commoners.

Thinking of this, Hua Buwan could clearly outline the many tasks they needed to execute and the immense energy it would require. Without a doubt, such a massive undertaking could not be easily accomplished given their current lowly status and limited resources. Therefore, the most urgent matter at hand was to do everything possible to make money and find ways to win the trust and support of more people. Her thoughts raced wildly, as the first, second, and third steps of her upcoming plans continuously surfaced in her mind.

Noticing the shift in her expression, Ling Qianjun knew she was completely immersed in deep thought. He didn’t speak up to interrupt her, choosing instead to watch her quietly, patiently waiting for her to snap out of her reverie.
