Lin Xi finished her last reading and prepared to pack up and go home.
“Big shot, it’s you!”
She followed the voice and saw a boy with a delicate face excitedly waving.
Ji Heng rushed over quickly, “Big shot, do you remember me? I’m Ji Heng, we met that night.”
Lin Xi thought for a second, “That unlucky lost soul.”
“Yes, yes, it’s me.”
Ji Heng was clearly very happy, “Big shot, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. I didn’t expect you to be setting up a stall in the antique street. My school isn’t far from here. Let me treat you to dinner.”
“No need.” Lin Xi glanced at him, “Young man, your forehead is dark, there’s a danger of bloodshed.”
This unlucky kid encountered something again. His entire forehead was covered in dark energy, but it wasn’t life-threatening.
“No… no way, again?”
Hearing her words, Ji Heng’s heart leaped, “Big shot, don’t scare me.”
Lin Xi took out a stack of peace talismans, “1,000 yuan each, do you want some?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Ji Heng had seen her abilities and wanted to buy all the talismans.
“Big shot, give me a hundred.”
Lin Xi said calmly, “Limited to ten per person.”
“More won’t help. If ten peace talismans can’t protect you, it means it’s your fate. Rest in peace and strive for a good rebirth in your next life.”
Ji Heng trembled and quickly transferred money to buy ten.
“Big shot, am I going to die?”
Lin Xi shook her head, “No, at most you’ll break an arm or leg. You’ll be fine after a month or so, don’t worry too much.”
Ji Heng was even more frightened, “Big shot, let’s exchange contact information. You have to come and save me when the time comes, no matter how much it costs.”
Lin Xi replied, “Ordinary contact methods won’t work. If something really happens, just shout my name at the peace talisman, and I’ll sense it and come.”
Unsure, Ji Heng stubbornly added the big shot on WeChat.
He waved his hand reluctantly, “Goodbye, big shot.”
Lin Xi returned to the villa and received a message from Fu Jingyao.
[Madam Wu has prepared the meals and placed them on the warming pad. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll tell Madam Wu.]
Lin Xi looked at the three dishes and one soup on the dining table and replied to Fu Jingyao.
[It doesn’t matter what to eat, please ask Madam Wu to make more.]
[How much more?]
[Twelve dishes, two pots of rice.]
Lin Xi waited for a long time.
Fu Jingyao replied with a [？].
She explained.
[Xiao Jin and the others also need to eat.]
Fu Jingyao stared at his phone for a long time.
Who is Xiao Jin?
That morning, Lin Xi had shouted out Xiao Jin as her first words.
Who exactly is Xiao Jin?
And what about them?
Chen Zhao shouted from the side, “Boss Fu, Boss Fu…”
Fu Jingyao came back to his senses, “Speed up the signing process; we’ll return to the country in three days.”
Chen Zhao was confused.
They had just arrived yesterday and were supposed to stay for seven days. Why shorten the stay suddenly? There were no major issues back home to deal with recently.
Boss Fu was acting strangely; something was definitely wrong.
On the other side, at Di Jing Garden.
Lin Xi glanced at her phone. Fu Jingyao hadn’t sent any more messages. She released five small paper figures, “You’re free tonight.”
Xiao Tu took a deep breath, “Finally out.”
Xiao Jin waved, “Let’s eat first.”
Xiao Mu said, “There isn’t enough food; I’ll check the kitchen and add a few more dishes.”
Xiao Mu opened the fridge and was instantly stunned, “Wow! Master, we’ve struck it rich! So many things I’ve never seen before.”
Lin Xi reminded, “Just fry an egg; don’t touch the other ingredients.”
Xiao Mu carried out a tray of eggs, “Okay, Master.”
After finishing the meal, the five small paper figures rushed outside to bask in the moonlight.
Xiao Mu looked at the vast land excitedly and clapped his hands, “Master, can I plant vegetables?”
Lin Xi nodded, “I’ll ask Fu Jingyao tomorrow, then go buy some seeds.”
Xiao Mu was a wood spirit, and the fruits and vegetables he grew contained spiritual energy, making them far tastier than ordinary ones.
Lin Xi wanted a piece of land, originally intending to use it for planting.
Xiao Mu spun around happily, “Master, I love you so much.”
The original forest had been burned down in a wildfire, causing him severe injuries, and it was only after meeting the Master that he had survived.
Xiao Mu had no other wishes; he just loved to farm.
Xiao Tu raised his hand, “Master, I want to plant too.”
Xiao Shui and Xiao Huo raised their hands as well, “Master, we want to plant too.”
Xiao Shui glared at Xiao Huo, “You barely manage to not set the seedlings on fire; how can you plant?”
Xiao Huo retorted, “You do a good job of drowning the seedlings; how can you plant?”
Just as they were about to argue, Xiao Jin pulled each of them, “No fighting; wait for the Master to arrange it.”
Lin Xi instructed, “Xiao Jin, you arrange it; each person gets a plot of land.”
The five small paper figures had no objections. Xiao Jin divided the land, and they basked in the moonlight on their own plots.
It was a dreamless night.
……
Zheng Da Ye couldn’t sleep and stayed up until six in the morning.
He hurriedly put on his shoes and rushed out. As he reached the third floor, he heard a familiar voice.
“Baby~~, why didn’t you reply to my message yesterday? I’m so mad~ I’m going to punch your chest~”
Zheng Da Ye was startled. Wasn’t that his Yin Yin?
They lived in the same building; what a fateful coincidence!
Zheng Da Ye rushed down. Just as he was about to call out to Yin Yin, he saw a disheveled man.
Zheng Da Ye’s heart dropped. He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
The man was wearing slippers, no shirt, just a pair of big shorts, with a face full of acne, a beard that was a mess, and enough oil on his face to fry two dishes. His belly was so fat it could produce two taels of oil.
At that moment, he was picking at his foot skin while sweetly calling, “Baby~~, if you ignore me, I’ll really be angry~”
Zheng Da Ye nearly choked.
“No, no, this isn’t my Yin Yin.”
Ding dong! His phone rang.
He pulled out his phone and saw the chat interface showing the exact same voice message.
Zheng Da Ye’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally sank.
He had sent Yin Yin 300,000 yuan!
Zheng Da Ye was furious, “You scammer!!”
“Yin Yin” turned around, instinctively raising her hand with a delicate gesture, “Baby~”
Zheng Da Ye was extremely frightened.
A man covered in hair, using a sweet voice to call you “baby,” there was nothing more terrifying in this world.
Zheng Da Ye grabbed a broom beside him, “Scammer!!!”
“Yin Yin” was taken aback.
Zheng Da Ye was his first customer.
This old man was single and had money; unable to bear loneliness, he took the bait.
Yesterday, this old man had seemed off, so he came to check the situation.
He had used this good voice to scam many people, but unexpectedly, he had flipped the script today!
“Yin Yin” hurriedly ran away, but as soon as Zheng Da Ye made a scene, everyone nearby woke up.
Some people opened their doors to watch the commotion.
Zheng Da Ye shouted loudly, “Catch the scammer!!”
“Yin Yin” was eventually taken away by the police for investigation, revealing more than thirty fraud cases involving over two million in criminal proceeds.
Due to the severity of the situation and the large amount involved, “Yin Yin” was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The police specially issued an announcement: Online dating requires caution; meeting in person carries risks, and sweet traps can damage your wallet.
