Chương 372: Chapter 372: Becoming Poor Again in an Instant
Downtown!
Lin Fan and Old Zhang strolled leisurely, the cursed rooster in tow.
Their days were carefree, without major ups and downs. They never argued with anyone, let alone clashed, and everything was harmonious and peaceful.
"We still owe people money."
"Yes, I remember that too."
Having borrowed money to buy things, their lives had some fluctuations. However, they were reliable, so borrowing money was usually smooth, and generally, no one refused them.
Clearly, their trustworthiness was widely recognized.
In the distance, there was some commotion.
They enjoyed lively places. Usually, if they encountered such scenes, they would stop and watch, just for the fun of it.
"These children dance so well," Lin Fan said.
A group of children, around six or seven years old, wearing white dresses, danced cheerfully. They were very cute.
Old Zhang said, "Yes, if Little Bao could wear such clothes, he would be very cute too."
"I was thinking the same thing."
If Little Bao knew their thoughts, he would probably want to die. As the son of the richest man, Little Bao cared about his image. Making him wear such girly clothes would be worse than death.
Passersby stopped to watch.
For them, a lively scene was worth watching.
Gradually, some people left after watching, while others put some small change into the donation box.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang looked at each other. "Watching a performance costs money. Let's donate some."
"Okay."
They reached into their pockets and took out a few hundred yuan. They were wealthy now, so having a few hundred yuan in their pockets was perfectly normal.
"Thank you, brother."
"Thank you, grandpa."
The children's faces showed sincere smiles as they thanked the two for their donations.
A young woman standing nearby also smiled and nodded.
Lin Fan asked, "What activity are you doing?"
The young woman replied, "We are the Dragon Country Children and Youth Foundation, dedicated to treating children and teenagers in need. We are currently fundraising, hoping to spread more love."
"Oh, so it's to help those who can't afford medical treatment?" Lin Fan asked.
"Yes," the young woman said.
Their foundation was fair and transparent, having treated many people. Most of the funds came from charitable donations from society.
"This is my good friend, Old Zhang. We both enjoy helping others," Lin Fan said.
Old Zhang added, "That's right. Helping others brings us joy."
The young woman said, "I can see that you both enjoy helping others, otherwise you wouldn't have donated."
Lin Fan smiled brightly, enjoying the praise for him and Old Zhang.
"You too. I can see that you have a kind heart and are a good person."
He had the ability to see through people's hearts.
Then, Lin Fan and Old Zhang whispered to each other, seemingly making some sort of decision.
"Here you go."
Lin Fan handed a bank card to the young woman.
"This is?" The young woman was curious.
She had seen others donate cash, but never a bank card. Could it be for swiping?
But…
They had never swiped a card before.
"There's some money in here. Old Zhang and I hope it can help more people."
"The PIN is on the back. Don't forget it."
They waved to the young woman and walked away.
The young woman stood there, stunned.
By the time she reacted, the two were nowhere to be found.
There was an ATM next door.
She felt something was amiss.
She went to the ATM.
Inserted the card.
Entered the PIN.
The screen changed to balance inquiry.
Instantly, when the young woman saw the string of numbers, her eyes widened in disbelief as she counted the digits.
"Ones, tens, hundreds… billions."
Thud!
As if frightened, the young woman collapsed to the ground. Honestly, she was truly shocked. She had never seen so much money in her life.
She struggled to her feet, covering her mouth.
Tears streamed down her face.
Not tears of emotion.
But tears of fright.
She took the card and rushed out, wanting to find the two men and return the card. It was too much, so much that it was frightening.
But she couldn't find them after searching around.
How could she find them in such a vast crowd? Of course, if she had watched Sun Xiao's live stream, she would have known who had given her the card.
Special Department.
Jin He Li was still busy. With the arrival of the Starry Sky强者, the situation at Changbai Mountain had become dire. According to satellite monitoring, the terrain was changing daily.
Knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Jin He Li was surprised to see them, clearly not expecting their visit.
"Is there something I can help you with?"
These two were the pillars of the Special Department. They didn't show it on the surface, but secretly, she knew they were true guardians, absolutely dependable.
If it weren't for Lin Fan, who knows what the situation would be now.
"We came to tell you something. Remember we borrowed money from you last time? We wanted to pay you back, but we just saw a fundraising event on the street and donated all our money. So, about the money we owe you…we'll need to wait a little longer."
Lin Fan said somewhat sheepishly.
He and Old Zhang had discussed it. They should have kept some money to repay the debt.
But they hadn't thought of it at the time.
By the time they did, they were already back at the department.
Jin He Li was speechless.
She had thought it was something important, but it turned out to be this trivial matter. If Lin Fan hadn't brought it up, she would have forgotten about it.
"I haven't given it a second thought," Jin He Li said.
At her level, all she thought about was how to deal with the Starry Sky Clan, and the cursed objects couldn't be ignored either. The ability to disappear without a trace was definitely a major issue.
She was now searching for the key to the problem.
"No…you haven't given it a second thought, but we have kept it in mind," Lin Fan said.
Jin He Li wanted to tell them it was fine and they could go back to their work, but her head was a bit dizzy from all the work. She actually wanted to chat with them, take a breather, and relax a bit.
"How much did you donate?"
"One hundred million."
"How much?"
"One hundred million."
Jin He Li stared at Lin Fan as if she had seen a ghost. Honestly, she hadn't expected this.
Having a hundred million and not being able to repay even my one thousand...it's laughable.
Are you kidding me?
"Who did you donate it to?" Jin He Li suspected they had been scammed. If they had been, she would definitely call the police.
"The Dragon Country Children and Youth Foundation," Lin Fan said.
Jin He Li knew this foundation. It was a very reliable foundation. She sighed silently. They were generous; ordinary people really couldn't do this.
"It's fine. Just pay me back when you have the money."
She said what Lin Fan wanted to hear.
"Thank you. You're a good person."
Jin He Li, who had just been issued a "good person card", could only remain silent. If anyone deserved to be called a good person, it was him, no one else could do it, and she wasn't even qualified.
"Goodbye!"
Lin Fan and Old Zhang nodded to Jin He Li and left the office.
Jin He Li watched them leave, lost in thought. She took out a mirror from her drawer and looked at her face. Everything was so flawless, always so beautiful.
"Has my charm diminished?"
She wished Lin Fan would talk to her more, you know, flirt a little. But after several interactions, she never noticed any eagerness from him to communicate with her.
Night!
Hotel.
"Who is it?"
Mu Qing, dressed in her pajamas and ready to sleep, heard a knock on the door and became alert. Her identity as a public figure and a member of the Shadow Society…
Recently, she had made the Shadow Society very unhappy.
Perhaps…there would be danger.
"It's me." Lin Fan stood outside, waiting quietly.
After returning from Changbai Mountain, he really wanted to see his wife. Sometimes he felt troubled; what he wanted most was his own little home, where he and his wife could live together.
Strolling the streets during the day, cooking.
Doing what his wife loved at night. Actually, he wasn't interested in the nighttime activities, but he was willing to see the smile on his wife's face, and that was enough for him.
Mu Qing was surprised. She didn't know why Lin Fan was here, or how he had found her.
If it were before, when they weren't so familiar, she would have been worried.
But now…
Click!
The door opened.
Mu Qing smiled. "What brings you here so late?"
"I couldn't sleep. I missed you, so I came to see you." Lin Fan didn't feel anything wrong with what he said. After all, in his heart, Mu Qing was his wife.
Mu Qing didn't even know what she had done to him.
Why did he fixate on her?
This was something worth pondering.
Inside the room.
Mu Qing poured Lin Fan some tea.
They sat on the sofa, the room silent.
"Did you miss me?" Lin Fan asked with a smile, his eyes full of affection. It was very possessive, as if telling her outright that their relationship was unshakeable.
Mu Qing was stunned by his words.
Honestly, even now, she hadn't figured out what her relationship with Lin Fan was.
Now he was asking so directly.
Was this really okay?
How did he expect her to answer?
So far, Mu Qing didn't know how to deal with this situation. If she could, she would rather Lin Fan ask about something else, which would be easier to answer.
"Yes," Mu Qing said.
Whether it was the truth or a lie, only Mu Qing knew.
Lin Fan smiled happily. "Here, this is for you."
Another golden leaf.
On his way here, he had passed a Dao tree and asked it if he could have a leaf as a gift for someone important he was going to see.
When Mu Qing saw the golden leaf, she remembered the tree she had seen during the live stream.
"You keep it. I don't need it."
If she took the golden leaf, it would only end up contributing to the Shadow Society.
