CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: THE UNEXPECTED TRANSFER

She walked up to Lin Xiaoyan and asked, "Xiao Lin, do you know all of them?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked up, following the boss’s gaze towards the police station across the street. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, pretty much."

Li Mei raised an eyebrow, surprised that this new employee had such connections.

Ever since Lin Xiaoyan started working officially at the tea shop opposite the police station, almost everyone at the station knew her.

Li Mei noticed that in the past week, officers from the police station across the street visited her tea shop daily!

Moreover, every officer who came to buy tea seemed to know Lin Xiaoyan, the newcomer.

Because of this, Li Mei’s attitude towards Lin Xiaoyan had improved significantly. At the very least, she didn’t treat her like the other staff and would even lend a helping hand when things got busy.

At the same time, in Gan Province

Deep in a forest where entry was forbidden, Xuan Shiyi lay half-reclined on a rock, covered in blood.

Beside him, more than a dozen people lay or crouched, all disheveled and breathing heavily as they stared at the same spot.

That spot was now a charred, pitch-black mess—where Heavenly Thunder had just struck down and obliterated the Drought Demon to ashes.

"That was close; we almost lost everything!" A middle-aged man, bleeding all over, sighed.

"Luckily, Shiyi knew where the Drought Demon was hiding. Otherwise, if we had waited any longer, once that Drought Demon fully matured, we’d all be reporting to the Underworld."

"Indeed, Shiyi, you played a major role this time."

Shiyi felt stifling pain in his chest but managed to lift the corners of his mouth with effort, "The credit doesn’t belong to me."

"Oh? Then who?"

Xuan Shiyi looked over at Xuan Er, who was meditating with eyes closed, "Senior Brother, did you predict this?"

Xuan Er opened his eyes and glanced mildly at Xuan Shiyi, "I only foresaw our inevitable death; the only chance of survival lay in Sea City."

Xuan Shiyi thought of Lin Xiaoyan and smiled, "Isn’t that true? You really predicted it correctly. Thankfully, I went to Sea City; otherwise, we’d all be doomed!"

"Sea City?"

"Shiyi, did you meet someone remarkable in Sea City?"

Hearing the inquiries, Xuan Shiyi didn’t answer, but his eyes sparkled as he thought of one thing.

In the future, no matter what mission he took, he’d have to drop by Lin Xiaoyan’s place for a handshake!

That day, a sum of money suddenly transferred into Lin Xiaoyan’s account.

A hundred thousand!

She was a bit dazed; was it a mistake?

But before long, she received another bank message: another fifty thousand was transferred!

Then came more transfers of fifty thousand and a hundred thousand from different accounts.

"Oh no!"

Just after leaving the subway station, Lin Xiaoyan rushed towards the police station at full speed.

"Help, my bank account has been targeted by scammers, they’re transferring large amounts to my account nonstop, what should I do?"

Upon running into the police station, Lin Xiaoyan immediately showed the text messages on her phone to the officer at the hall.

Seeing it was Lin Xiaoyan, the officer quickly took her phone to check.

However, this...

The officer looked at the sixteen bank messages above; they were indeed from different accounts, but those accounts were actually real-name verified.

"What’s going on?"

Just as Lin Xiaoyan was anxiously at a loss, He Qi’an walked over.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly informed He Qi’an about the situation.

"Will my money be taken away? What should I do? Should I freeze my bank card?"

Hearing her out, He Qi’an took Lin Xiaoyan’s phone. Upon seeing the names of the transferring accounts, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Xiaoyan.

"What’s wrong? Is it a scam?"

Lin Xiaoyan anxiously looked at He Qi’an, as the newly transferred two hundred thousand had yet to warm her hands.

"Don’t worry, it’s not a scam."

He Qi’an handed the phone back to Lin Xiaoyan.

"?"

Not a scam!

Lin Xiaoyan was taken aback, looking at He Qi’an, "Then what is this? Did so many people transfer to the wrong account? Do I need to call the bank and notify them?"

Lin Xiaoyan opened the banking app to check the information of those making the transfers.

"Don’t worry, it’s probably not a mistake. Among these people, there’s one you’ve met, that’s Xuan Shiyi."

"Xuan Shiyi?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked up at He Qi’an, "Why would he transfer money to me?"

Lin Xiaoyan saw that Xuan Shiyi had transferred a hundred thousand to her.

By the morning, her bank account had increased by one million one hundred thousand!!!

Among them, ten amounts of fifty thousand, and six of a hundred thousand!

He Qi’an led Lin Xiaoyan towards the office, "It’s likely because of what you told him last time, which saved their lives.

The Xuan Sect highly values cause and effect..."

Listening to He Qi’an, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the amount on her phone, her hand trembling slightly.

"Do you have a contact for Xuan Shiyi? This is too much, it feels unreal..."

"Don’t worry, they’ll contact you," He Qi’an reassured Lin Xiaoyan.

"How have you been lately?"

"Pretty good..."

Lin Xiaoyan’s mind kept circling back to that one million one hundred thousand; she dared not even imagine!

She had never seen so much money!!!

"There’s something I wanted to ask your help with earlier, but Yang Lin said your emotions were a bit unstable, so we held off. If you’re okay now..."

He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan and started to discuss the matter of Kong Xi with her.

"Kong Xi?"

Lin Xiaoyan finally snapped out of her million worries, looking at He Qi’an, "What do you want me to do?"

He Qi’an’s eyes flickered slightly, "We want to make sure Kong Xi can live safely in the future, so we plan to root out the entire gang Kong Xi was infiltrating..."

"We’ve discussed this and will need your assistance in the process."

"Sure, I’m okay with that."

After discussing with He Qi’an, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly remembered she still had to work.

Frenziedly, she raced out of the police station and headed across the street.

At that moment, Li Mei, filled with anger, was cleaning the store, wondering where she was as it was already so late!

"Sorry, I’m late, I’m sorry."

Breathlessly, Lin Xiaoyan apologized to the boss, who looked stern.

Li Mei took a deep breath, looking at Lin Xiaoyan, "Half a day’s pay will be docked."

"Okay, that’s fair," Lin Xiaoyan sighed lightly and hurriedly put on her work uniform to start cleaning.

"Hello, are you still hiring?"

A timid voice came from the entrance.

Lin Xiaoyan looked up towards the entrance, seeing a woman wrapped from head to toe, wearing a face mask, cautiously watching her.

"I’m not the boss, please wait a moment, I’ll call the boss over."

"Okay, thank you," the woman said gratefully.

Lin Xiaoyan walked into the workshop and informed the boss.

Li Mei stepped out, observing the tightly wrapped woman, pursed her lips, her expression somewhat indifferent.

"How old are you? Do you have any previous experience? Can you work long-term?"

"I’m twenty-four, I haven’t done any tea-related work before, but I... I can work long-term!"

Seeing the anxious woman, Li Mei softened her tone, "Can you take off the mask?"

Upon hearing that she should remove the mask, the woman hesitated but then slowly took it off.
