CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 74: KONG XI’S APPOINTMENT

Lin Fu and Lin Mu were full of shock, and Lin Fu’s first thought was how much savings he had left.

Lin Mu, on the other hand, was thinking whether it was because of her daughter-in-law’s previous issues that her daughter had such an idea.

"Hmm, I have some money now, why don’t I pay a down payment first and then pay the rest slowly..."

Lin Fu frowned, looking at his daughter seriously.

"Yanyan, you just graduated, where did you get the money? You wouldn’t be..."

He stopped halfway through, not completing the sentence, but he couldn’t tolerate his child making a mistake!

Lin Mu, hearing this, also looked anxiously at her daughter.

Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, "No, no, I told you before, I definitely wouldn’t do such a thing!

Besides, you really overestimate your daughter. Your daughter isn’t some great beauty; how could anyone be interested? Hahaha..."

"Then where did you get the money to buy a house?"

Lin Xiaoyan had to lie again, saying she helped her company solve a problem and received another bonus.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu didn’t understand, but they felt extremely proud. Their daughter was outstanding.

Lin Xiaoyan sent Gao Qing’s number to her dad, telling him that Gao Qing had two properties available now, which she thought were pretty good, and suggested her dad contact Gao Qing to check them out.

If everything was okay, they should decide on it.

Lin Fu: "Don’t worry, I’ve got nothing these days, I’ll contact your classmate in a bit and go see the house tomorrow."

"Okay, thanks, Dad."

"No need to thank me, as long as you eat well and stay healthy over there in Sea City, everything will be fine, and I will be at ease."

After chatting with her parents for a while, Lin Xiaoyan hung up the phone.

The water had already turned cold; she got up and poured it out, carrying her tired body.

Her stomach growled with hunger, glancing at the ingredients at home, there were two tomatoes and three eggs.

Alright, just make some noodles then.

She didn’t want to go out, nor did she want to order takeout.

She quickly made a pot of noodles, but before she could serve them, her phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

"Xiao Lin, it’s Kong Xi."

Hearing Kong Xi’s name, Lin Xiaoyan frowned.

Calling at this time must mean something.

"There has been a change, I now must go home, so..."

Lin Xiaoyan’s heart tensed, she hurriedly said, "But didn’t Captain He say you should only leave after he returns? It’s too dangerous outside with people looking for you!"

Kong Xi gave a bitter smile, "I know, but I have something that I must return for.

Now I want to ask you for a favor, help me ’see’ if it’s possible to avoid danger when going back..."

Lin Xiaoyan’s expression turned serious, she got up and went to her room to get her clothes.

"Okay, where are you now?"

Lin Xiaoyan and Kong Xi arranged to meet at a place, quickly getting dressed to head out.

As she walked out, she thought for a moment and decided to call He Qi’an.

At this time, He Qi’an was on his way to Xiao Lian Village, and was surprised to see Lin Xiaoyan’s call.

After hearing what Lin Xiaoyan had to say, his expression darkened.

"Alright, I understand. Don’t go alone, wait at home, I’ll send someone to pick you up."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan turned back.

Since arrangements were made, she would follow them.

She returned and quickly ate the noodles, finally feeling comfortable with a full stomach.

She checked the time—it was 9:15 PM.

She really wanted to sleep.

Lin Xiaoyan leaned back on the sofa, feeling mentally exhausted.

While her mind continued to think about her boss Li Mei’s current situation.

And wondering why Kong Xi had to go home, what exactly happened?

Her mind wandered in various thoughts, and just as she was lost in thought, the phone rang.

Seeing the caller, Lin Xiaoyan was surprised.

"Hey, hello, Dr. Yang... Yang Lin."

Yang Lin’s gentle voice came from the phone, "I’m downstairs at your building, come down."

"Huh?"

Lin Xiaoyan was puzzled.

"Qi An asked me to pick you up to go somewhere."

When Lin Xiaoyan heard this, everything clicked, and she quickly got up, grabbed her keys, and headed downstairs.

"Hold on, I’ll be right down."

After getting in the car, Lin Xiaoyan looked a little embarrassed at Yang Lin.

"Sorry, for troubling you so late."

Yang Lin smiled and shook his head, "No trouble at all, Qi An called exactly when I was getting off work."

"It’s actually you, in future, don’t go out alone or easily believe what others say..."

Yang Lin sternly advised Lin Xiaoyan.

Upon hearing about Kong Xi’s issue from Qi An, he rushed over, fearing this little girl would go to see Kong Xi by herself.

Regardless of Kong Xi’s situation, if those people watching in the shadows were targeting her, she’d be in danger too.

Those people are very bold!

Sometimes they prefer to eliminate rather than miss anyone.

Hearing Yang Lin’s words, Lin Xiaoyan also felt a bit scared inside.

"I didn’t think it through, from now on, I’ll call the police first no matter what happens!"

Lin Xiaoyan promised.

Hearing "call the police," Yang Lin laughed again.

"I hear the police station is always looking forward to your calls these days."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because every time you call, they get a case to investigate, and it adds to their records, helping with their future promotions."

Hearing this reason, Lin Xiaoyan laughed awkwardly, "Perhaps it’s a good thing for them."

In reality, she really didn’t want to encounter such things.

Ever since she had a superpower with her eyes, the things she "saw" had completely overturned her worldview for the past twenty-odd years.

She felt there might be more unimaginable things she’d "see" in the future.

Yang Lin took Lin Xiaoyan to the Four Directions Restaurant, and Lin Xiaoyan looked surprised.

"He’s here?"

Yang Lin unfastened his seatbelt, "Yes, let’s go. I’ll take you to him and grab something to eat too."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly refused, "No need, I’ve just eaten, I’m full, not hungry."

As Yang Lin led Lin Xiaoyan into the Four Directions Restaurant, he smiled and said, "I hear girls have two stomachs, one for meals and another for snacks and desserts.

Try some desserts later, there are lots of good ones here."

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t know how to refuse; she wanted to, but feared making Yang Lin feel awkward by refusing.

She rummaged through her bag and took out the card given by the manager last time, "Then let me treat you tonight! Order whatever you want!

I’ve been saying I’d treat you for a meal, but haven’t had the time lately."

Seeing the card in Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, Yang Lin nodded with a smile, "Alright, you treat today."

Hearing Yang Lin’s words, Lin Xiaoyan felt relieved.

She didn’t like taking advantage of others.

Coming to the Four Directions Restaurant again and seeing the well-dressed guests appearing now and then, Lin Xiaoyan clutched her bag tightly, lowered her head, and followed Yang Lin’s footsteps forward.

Yang Lin walked to a private room and knocked on the door.

"Come in."
