CHAPTER 87: CHAPTER 87: IF IT DOESN’T WORK OUT, LET’S GO HOME

"Dad, Mom."

Lin Xiaoyan opened the door, smelling the aroma of food in the air, her fatigue instantly vanished.

She had a thought, hoping her parents could always stay here with her...

Lin Fu and Lin Mu inside heard their daughter had returned, but their expressions still weren’t good as they got up and brought out the dishes they had prepared.

Lin Xiaoyan’s smile stiffened for a moment, feeling helpless inside—her parents were still angry.

She first went to the guest room, saw the bed and cabinet set up, with a simple sheet and a thin space blanket laid on top, and felt relieved.

"Dad, Mom, did you buy toiletries yet? If not, I’ll have someone from the delivery service bring them..."

Lin Xiaoyan walked to the dining room, looking at her parents as she spoke.

Lin Fu frowned, "No need, we brought some."

Lin Mu expressionlessly put down the bowls and chopsticks, "Eat first, we’ll talk after eating."

Lin Xiaoyan had to sit down and start eating.

During the meal, Lin Fu looked at his daughter and couldn’t help asking, "Yanyan, aren’t you working at the company?"

Lin Xiaoyan swallowed the food in her mouth, "No, I stopped working there after finishing last month."

Lin Mu frowned, "So when you came home last time, you didn’t have a job?"

"No."

"Then you should just have told us. You could find a job at home. Why come all this way to work hard in a milk tea shop? The rent for this place, living expenses... how much can you earn in a month?

And you’re thinking of buying a house? Where will you get the money?"

"And what did that person today mean? Picking you up? Picking you up to go where?"

"Yanyan, Mom has always told you since you were a child, regardless of whether we have money or not, we can’t do anything unethical!

Pack your things, and come home with me tomorrow!

Even if you don’t work after returning, I’ll support you!"

Lin Mu got more and more angry, finally deciding firmly that they will pack up and go home tomorrow!

Lin Fu looked at his wife’s angry expression and tried to persuade, "Eat and don’t be angry, listen to what Yanyan has to say."

Lin Fu turned to his daughter whose face was gloomy, his voice gentle, "Yanyan, tell us, if someone is bullying you, Dad will definitely seek justice for you!"

Lin Xiaoyan was touched by her father’s words, she took a deep breath.

She looked up at her parents, "Mom, Dad, rest assured, I haven’t done anything wrong. All my money is clean.

And, it’s all officially issued by the government, a legitimate income!"

Lin Fu and Lin Mu, hearing their daughter’s words, did not believe it.

Lin Xiaoyan got up and took out the identification she always carried with her, placing it in front of her parents.

"I am now a government employee, but the work is somewhat special. The person you saw today, he’s my colleague, but he’s not in the same city, he’s from the Beijing headquarters..."

Lin Xiaoyan slowly explained everything that had happened recently to her parents.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu were stunned.

The two stared blankly at their daughter, then glanced at the identification in their hands.

"You’re... lying to us, aren’t you?" Lin Mu looked at her daughter suspiciously.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Absolutely not. If you don’t believe it, you can come with me to the police station tomorrow.

The milk tea shop is right opposite the police station."

Lin Fu looked at his daughter’s determined eyes; he believed her, but this kind of thing... still seemed unbelievable.

After telling them everything, Lin Xiaoyan continued, "This matter needs to be kept confidential. In a moment, you’ll have to sign a confidentiality agreement. If you reveal anything to anyone, not only you but I will also be punished."

"Dad, Mom, you must not tell anyone, not even my brother, okay?" Lin Xiaoyan warned them.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu finally came to their senses, and hearing their daughter’s words, they both repeatedly promised not to tell anyone.

After finishing the meal, Lin Xiaoyan had them sign a confidentiality agreement.

Looking at the content of the confidentiality agreement, Lin Fu and Lin Mu started to believe.

However, their worldview was still badly shaken and hadn’t recovered yet.

That night, Lin Fu and Lin Mu kept tossing and turning, their minds still dwelling on what their daughter had said.

National Special Investigation Bureau, Xuan Sect, superpower...

The next morning, Lin Fu and Lin Mu got up early.

When Lin Xiaoyan got up, they immediately came to her side.

They looked at her with concern.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Mom, Dad, what’s the matter with you?"

Lin Fu: "Daughter, about what you said last night, is there any danger? Otherwise, let’s not do it? Come home!"

Lin Mu: "Yes, the more I think about it, the more scared I get. What if you get caught and cut up for research?"

Lin Xiaoyan listened to her parents’ words and laughed, but her heart felt warm.

"Rest assured, Mom and Dad, I am not in any danger, and I’m now with a national unit, legally present, no one will capture me!"

"Then... then... what did Shiyi yesterday say, where did he want you to go?"

Lin Xiaoyan explained, "There’s a competition next month..."

When they heard the competition was to win resources for the country, Lin Fu clapped his hands, "Go! You must go! Hua Country must win!"

Lin Fu’s eyes sparkled at his daughter, "Regardless if you can contribute, anything that brings glory to the country must be supported!"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "I know, I’ve already agreed, someone will come to pick me up in three days."

"Alright, then eat quickly, don’t be late." Lin Mu brought out the food and called her daughter to eat.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly washed up and said with a smile, "It’s okay, being late doesn’t matter, the shop is mine!"

"What?!"

Lin Fu and Lin Mu exclaimed in surprise.

"Uh..." Lin Xiaoyan hesitated, "Did I... not tell you last night?"

"No!"

Lin Xiaoyan: ...

Finally, Lin Fu and Lin Mu decided to go to the shop with Lin Xiaoyan to take a look.

On the subway, Lin Xiaoyan stood in the middle of her parents.

After knowing about her superpower, her parents, for some reason, stood on either side of her, afraid someone might touch her.

"I’ve been saying for days that I want to buy an electric bike, but keep delaying it. Mom and Dad, when you’re free later, go take a look and help me pick one."

Lin Fu immediately agreed when he heard his daughter talk about buying an electric bike, "I’ll go check it out with your mom later."

Hearing her father’s words, Lin Xiaoyan smiled; she could finally get the electric bike today!

The subway’s arrival announcement sounded, and Lin Xiaoyan pulled her parents’ arms, "Mom, Dad, we’re here, get ready to get off."

Lin Fu and Lin Mu heard this and moved along with their daughter towards the door to get ready to get off.

The subway slowly stopped, the doors opened, and before Lin Xiaoyan and her parents could get off, people behind them instantly surged forward, pushing them off the train.

Lin Xiaoyan: ...!!!

Lin Xiaoyan was pushed off the train, her face showing panic, as she quickly looked for her parents.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Mu saw her daughter’s expression and hurriedly asked.

Lin Xiaoyan had no time to explain, pulling out her phone with one hand and pushing her mother with the other.

"Mom, Dad, let’s head towards the restroom!"

Seeing their daughter’s anxious expression, their hearts tightened as they looked around immediately.

"This way, quickly!" Lin Xiaoyan pointed to a spot, urging them to move fast.
