29: Chapter 29 Filled with Worry 29: Chapter 29 Filled with Worry Watching Yi Chen leave, Lin Yifan, feeling reflective, returned to the ATM to handle the money transfer.
He transferred the remaining two hundred thousand from his card to his father’s, leaving not a cent for himself.
After finishing the transaction, he felt relieved and left the self-service bank to return to his rented room.
After taking a shower, lying in bed, and thinking back on everything that happened that night, he found it all to be quite marvelous.
First, saving the female CEO and resolving an urgent crisis; then encountering a bald Cultivator with mysterious powers; it seed as though everything had been tailor-made for him.
“Opportunities are always so wonderful, I’m really too lucky.”
Lin Yifan was very happy.
This could be a turning point in his life; bidding farewell to the battlefield and venturing into the business sea, he might even enter the Cultivation World.
After eting Yi Chen, he realized that the world wasn’t as simple as he had imagined, and he was not the strongest out there.
Clenching his fist, he felt the strange power within his body and was filled with anxiety.
Although he could control this power at will, it wasn’t truly his; so if one day the black bead left his body, then all the money, status, and love that he had gained through the black bead would vanish into thin air.
“Sigh!
Now, I can only take it one step at a ti!”
Unable to expel the black bead, he could only continue to use its power to fulfill so needs for now.
When his emotions settled, he soon fell asleep.
The next morning, at six o’clock.
The sky was dim, and the streets were desolate and empty.
At this ti, everyone else was still hiding under their blankets, sleeping, but Lin Yifan was up.
He had a lot to do today, so he had to get up early.
Leaving the rented room, the first thing he did was go to the public phone booth on the street to make a call.
He didn’t want to disturb his sister last night because it was too late, and she might have been asleep.
Now, at a little past six in the morning, Yi Fei should be up, so it was ti to let her know about the money transfer from last night.
Inserting his IC card and pressing a series of numbers, he made the call.
“Dudu!
Dudu…”
After a few rings, the call connected.
Then, a sweet voice ca from the other end of the line, “Hello!
Is it brother?”
Seeing the incoming call display on her phone, Lin Yifei knew it was her brother calling, because nobody has a phone number with just a few digits.
“Yes!” Lin Yifan answered truthfully.
“Why are you calling so early?”
Lin Yifei asked with curiosity, this was not like her brother’s style, as he usually called her at night.
“I transferred so money last night.
Check the ATM later to see if it has arrived,” Lin Yifan replied.
“Brother, how much did you transfer?”
Lin Yifei inquired, wanting to confirm the amount of remittance.
“Two hundred thousand!”
Lin Yifan answered with unruffled calm, curious about his sister’s reaction, since he had been overjoyed the night before.
“Two hundred thousand?
Brother, where did you get so much money?”
Lin Yifei’s face was filled with shock, unable to understand how her brother, who had no money, suddenly had so much.
Could it be that he had done sothing illegal?
Lin Yifan knew his sister would react like this; after all, he did too at the ti.
After calming himself, he told her the truth, “Last night, a female CEO appreciated and hired as her personal bodyguard, with a monthly salary of fifty thousand.
I asked her to pay one month’s salary in advance, and surprisingly, she not only didn’t refuse, but also directly gave three hundred thousand, saying she wanted to sign for half a year; that’s why I have so much money now.”
“Really?
There’s such a thing as a free lunch in the world?”
Lin Yifei couldn’t believe it, as it seed to defy common sense.
Normally, an employer wouldn’t pay wages in advance to prevent employees from running away with the money without fulfilling their verbal or contractual obligations.
“Really, please believe your brother!”
“Alright!
Brother, I believe you.”
For so reason, just because it was her caring brother on the other end, Lin Yifei believed his words.
If there’s no basic trust between family, what’s the point of being relatives?
Having clarified the money transfer, Lin Yifan instructed his sister to withdraw the money later, pay off the dical bills they owed to the hospital, and repay the debts they had at ho.
As an incoming university student with high academic achievents, Lin Yifei knew what to do.
Next, Lin Yifan chatted with his sister Lin Yifei about family matters for a while and then hurriedly hung up the phone.
He still had things to do, work to attend to, so he didn’t want to waste ti there.
Leaving the phone booth, walking on the street, Lin Yifan found a shop that sold stead buns, bought two buns and a cup of soy milk, then nibbled on the buns while heading to the nearby bus shelter.
After a while, he arrived at the bus shelter closest to his place of residence.
At this ti, the bus shelter was overcrowded; he couldn’t even check the bus route sign.
Finally, after pushing and squeezing his way through, he reached the bus route sign.
After checking the routes of the various buses, he knew which one to take.
Lin Yifan was used to the crowded bus shelter in the morning.
The place he rented was in an urban village, which attracted migrant workers from all over the country; they all had to get up early to work hard, earn money to support their families, marry, and have children.
The lives of these grassroots workers were full of hardship, but no one else could be blad for the path they chose.
