CHAPTER 320: CHAPTER 320: HIS HAND FEELS LIKE A CORPSE

"And Jiang Rui’s hand, it’s very cold, like... a corpse."

Lin Xiaoyan recalled and said.

Director Qian: "Tell me the whole process in detail."

Lin Xiaoyan then recounted everything about Yang Manqi and the others.

After listening, Director Qian lightly tapped his finger on the table as he quickly pondered over it.

"So, Yang Manqi and the others are planning to go on a luxury cruise, including Jiang Rui!"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Yes, but I didn’t see any images on Jiang Rui."

"Were there many people on the cruise in the images you saw?"

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment, "About twenty or thirty people."

Director Qian wanted to ask more, but Lin Xiaoyan’s phone suddenly rang.

Director Qian gestured for Lin Xiaoyan to take the call first; he needed to think more about it.

Lin Xiaoyan took out her phone; it was an unfamiliar number, but she thought it might be Gao Ze’s call.

Upon answering, it was indeed Gao Ze.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am... Gao Ze."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Hello, Mr. Gao, is there something you need?"

Gao Ze hesitated, "Well..., Comrade Lin, I want to ask, I..."

Lin Xiaoyan patiently waited for Gao Ze to speak, but after two minutes, he still hadn’t said anything.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the director and asked, "What do you want to say? If there’s nothing, I’ll hang up."

Gao Ze quickly said, "No, Mr. Lin, I... I feel a bit off."

Lin Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

"It’s like this, today you mentioned that... my private life was not good..."

Lin Xiaoyan: "And then?"

"Actually... actually, I wasn’t like this before..."

Gao Ze said, a bit embarrassed, "It was just a month ago that I became like this."

Lin Xiaoyan listened and looked towards the director.

Noticing Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze, Director Qian looked at her questioningly.

Lin Xiaoyan pointed at the phone and turned on the speaker.

Gao Ze’s voice came from the phone.

Lin Xiaoyan picked up a pen and wrote on paper, "Gao Ze."

Seeing the name, Director Qian checked the list in his hand; it was one of the people Xiao Lin did a task on today.

"A month ago, although I liked to play around, it wasn’t as addicted as it is now!

This past month, I just want to sleep every day..."

"Ahem!" Lin Xiaoyan coughed awkwardly.

Gao Ze paused and immediately changed his wording, "I want that every day, but after that every time, my body feels hollowed out.

This emptiness is different from before!"

"It’s like the whole person seems to have all the blood sucked out..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan and Director Qian’s faces grew serious.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Can’t you just hold back?"

Gao Ze chuckled bitterly, "The problem is I can’t!

I also don’t want that, but at midnight, if I don’t... that, it feels like ants are biting me, it’s unbearably uncomfortable!"

"Moreover, my little brother... ahem, my that, is constantly engorged.

If I don’t that, I feel like it will explode the next second!"

Gao Ze knew that others might not believe him, but this was indeed the truth!

"I just wanted to ask, Comrade Lin, does your Special Investigation Bureau know what’s going on with me?

I went to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor said I have no disease..."

Gao Ze felt that if his body continued like this, it wouldn’t be long before he died.

And it would be that shameful way of expending oneself to death!

He didn’t want to die like that, it would be too embarrassing, not just for him, his family would surely be shamed too!

After listening, Director Qian quickly wrote something down for Lin Xiaoyan to see.

After reading it, Lin Xiaoyan said, "Alright, I understand your situation. I’ll report it up the chain and have someone contact you to assess your condition.

Keep your phone accessible; someone will reach out to you shortly."

Hearing this, Gao Ze was extremely pleased, "Thank you, thank you so much, Comrade Lin!"

Lin Xiaoyan: "You’re welcome."

After the call ended, Director Qian thought for a moment and directly called Lin Feng, asking him to come over.

No other choice, Lin Feng was the only one available, didn’t he mention yesterday wanting to take on a task, well here’s one now.

"Xiao Lin, I know about this matter now, you can head back. Your parents are visiting Beijing, so spend some quality time with them."

After informing Lin Feng, Director Qian told Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Alright, I’ll head back then, Director."

"Yes, go ahead, stay safe on the road."

"Okay."

With that settled, Lin Xiaoyan could finally go home.

As she left the director’s office, Lin Xiaoyan checked her phone, and yes, the money had come in!

Four people each transferred her 150,000, and another one transferred 200,000.

Lin Xiaoyan guessed that the 200,000 might have been from Gao Ze.

In just one morning, she made 800,000!

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t even imagine it!

No wonder Xuan Shiyi and the others were so eager to invite her to Beijing, saying it was easy to make money here.

Turns out, it was true!

It felt like picking up money!

She thought that she could also take on some private business from time to time!

"Finished up?" Nan Xi asked, seeing the smile across Lin Xiaoyan’s face.

Lin Xiaoyan looked up, "Yeah, all done. Let’s head back to the hotel!"

She checked the group chat and saw it filled with photos taken by her parents.

It seemed they were having a great time.

However, there was no sight of He Qi’an.

Lin Xiaoyan sent a message to He Qi’an, asking where he was.

He Qi’an called immediately, saying he was outside and asked if she was done.

Lin Xiaoyan replied that she was done.

He Qi’an then directly gave her an address, asking them to come over.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the address, copied and pasted it, and hailed a cab.

When Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi arrived at the address He Qi’an provided, they found it to be a gown boutique.

"Hello, are you Ms. Lin?"

As soon as Lin Xiaoyan entered, a staff member who had been waiting warmly approached to inquire.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, her gaze sweeping the store filled with beautiful dresses.

"Mr. He is upstairs, please follow me."

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi followed the staff upstairs, where they saw He Qi’an sitting there looking at a catalogue.

Hearing footsteps, He Qi’an looked up and saw Lin Xiaoyan.

A bright smile appeared on his face as he stood up and walked over.

"You’re here."

He Qi’an took Lin Xiaoyan’s hand and led her to a sofa to sit.

"Look at these, I was picking out clothes for Uncle, Aunt, and Brother Hao. Tell me what you think?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked over, each set was tasteful and elegant, with its own unique style, perfectly suited for her parents and her brother.

It was clear that He Qi’an had chosen them with care.

"They’re great, I think they’re very suitable," Lin Xiaoyan said sincerely.
