CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126: PAYMENT NOT RECEIVED!!!

Finally, Lin Feng complained to Lin Xiaoyan for an hour, and only left when Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes were about to close.

After Lin Feng left, Lin Xiaoyan collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep immediately.

Before she slept, Lin Xiaoyan’s last thought was, Lin Feng should really become a hypnotist! He’d make a fortune!

As he left, Lin Feng sent Lin Xiaoyan a good-person card.

From childhood to now, no one had ever listened to him until the end. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyou didn’t interrupt him once, hehe...

Lin Xiaoyan had just fallen asleep before being awakened by the phone ringing again.

It was He Qi’an!

Lin Xiaoyan quickly answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Hey, those two students have been rescued, but the situation... isn’t great. The police arrived a bit late over there..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan’s heart sank.

"Will they... survive?"

He Qi’an replied, "They will, but it will take a long time for them to recover from the psychological trauma."

Lin Xiaoyan: "... Okay, I understand, thank you."

He Qi’an, hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s low tone, comforted, "Don’t blame yourself. That murderer had already killed eight people in Sichuan Province, and finally got arrested this time."

"Hmm."

"At least, they’re still alive, right?"

He Qi’an said softly, "When people are alive, there is hope. If they become strong emotionally, then these experiences won’t affect their future..."

Lin Xiaoyan lay in bed, listening to He Qi’an, responding dully.

After she hung up the phone, the girl’s image flashed in Lin Xiaoyan’s mind...

Sad tears, unexpectedly streamed down her face.

Sigh...

Now, she’s starting to understand the feelings of Xuan Shiyi and others.

Knowing what’s going to happen to someone, wanting to stop it but unable to, that helplessness and guilt.

Xuan Shiyi and the others have seen a lot, so they don’t feel guilty, only observe coldly.

But Lin Xiaoyan, who has just entered this world, isn’t used to this feeling. According to Xuan Shiyi, you get used to it eventually, and then it feels fine.

Lin Xiaoyan lay in her hotel room all day until her hunger overpowered her mind and pulled her from bed.

Lin Xiaoyan got dressed, went to the front desk, and asked the attendant which hotpot place was the best.

Finally coming to Sichuan Province, she had to try the hotpot here!

Tomorrow, she’ll go see the national treasures!

Lin Xiaoyan spent three days in Sichuan Province, and then took the train back to Sea City.

When she returned home, washed up, and completely relaxed, she suddenly remembered something.

She quickly opened the Special Investigation Bureau app and saw her task marked as completed.

But!!!

Her money hadn’t arrived!

Lin Xiaoyan immediately messaged Lin Feng, asking when the payment would come through.

Lin Feng responded quickly, but he sent a voice message.

"Sorry, Lin Xiaoyou, the payment occurs after my task is completed..."

Lin Xiaoyan listened: ....

"What if you can’t complete your task?" Lin Xiaoyan asked with a blank expression.

"Ah, well in that case... you’ll have to wait until I’ve finished my task..."

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t want to listen further.

She was speechless, what could she say?

Ordering something on the official app, and it turns out like this?!

"Ding"

Lin Feng sent another voice message.

"Don’t worry, Lin Xiaoyou, I’ve thoroughly prepared for tonight’s ghost-catching!

Once I complete my mission and get paid, I’ll immediately transfer the money to you."

Lin Xiaoyan was speechless, she simply replied, "Okay."

Powerlessly scrolling her phone, she saw a new push notification.

"The suspect in eight disappearance cases in Sichuan Province over the past two years has finally been arrested..."

Lin Xiaoyan clicked into the notification immediately.

"In recent years, several young people have disappeared from the train station...

Recently, a well-meaning netizen sent a photo to the police station...

The victims, Xiao Mei (alias) and Xiaoqiang (alias), were successfully rescued..."

The news didn’t say what harm the victims suffered or what they went through, which protects them, hoping they can live peacefully in the future.

Lin Xiaoyan turned off her phone, checked the time. Still early. Why not visit the store?

She didn’t want to stay home alone.

Upon arriving at the store, she saw a special doghouse at the entrance, where the stray dog from before was now clean and all white.

As soon as anyone approaches, it stands wagging its tail in front of the doghouse, seemingly smiling.

"Wow, such a cute dog..."

"Really beautiful, this dog even knows how to smile!"

"Hello, you’re so cute..."

...

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t stand outside long before seeing many girls happily greeting the puppy.

She walked up to the entrance and saw the puppy wagging its tail at her cheerfully. She looked closely and saw a leash around the puppy’s neck.

Also, there’s a barrier around the doghouse to prevent people from getting too close, as well as preventing the puppy from running away.

The doghouse is beautiful, a delicate little house.

Inside are pet toys, with a placard standing next to it.

"Stray dog, if caring individuals wish to adopt, please contact within the store.

Please do not feed; it is already well fed.

Do not touch; to avoid injury."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled seeing all this, pushed open the door, and entered the store.

Today is Sunday, and the store was bustling with many young girls, again from Li Wen’s school, here to see Li Wen.

Lin Xiaoyan held back her laughter, looks like when it’s time to pay salaries, she’ll have to give Li Wen a raise for attracting so many customers.

She looked toward the bar and noticed her brother expertly taking orders, smiling and chatting with every customer.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyan felt relieved, her brother seems to have adapted.

She looked toward the workroom, noticing everyone working diligently, although...

Lin Xiaoyan noticed one of the employees seemed to have changed?

The young girl appeared very young, thin and small, but was working quite diligently.

She sat on a nearby chair, observing the store.

Lin Hao noticed someone entered and didn’t stand at the queue but instead sat aside. He looked up and saw—it was his sister.

When all the customers in the store left, temporarily leaving nobody, Lin Hao immediately left the bar.

"Yanyan."

Lin Xiaoyan put down her phone, "Hi, brother."

"When did you get back?"

"Today, with nothing to do at home, I came to check it out. You seem pretty skilled." Lin Xiaoyan smiled at her brother.

Lin Hao, feeling a bit embarrassed at his sister’s compliment, replied, "I’m okay, there’s still much for me to learn."

"By the way, the puppy at the entrance—I took it to the hospital, had it vaccinated, cleaned it...

During the day, it stays at the store entrance; at night, I bring it home, but it stays in my room, and it doesn’t bark randomly, quite obedient."

Lin Xiaoyan was surprised, "I didn’t notice when I came back home."
