CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84: AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE ARRIVES

"Isn’t there still half a month left? What’s the rush!"

"......"

"Fine, you Xuan Sect people are really something. I’ll go talk to the bureau chief!" That person strode out and headed toward the bureau chief’s office.

Xuan Er glanced at that person, gave a light scoff, and ignored him.

Xuan Liu and Xuan Qi immediately came over, "What’s Shiyi going to Sea City for?"

Xuan Er kept a cold face and didn’t respond to them.

Xuan Liu and Xuan Qi exchanged a look, well, can’t rely on this guy to enlighten us.

Let’s wait until Shiyi gets back to ask.

Sea City

"Daughter, we’ve already got on the car. We’re heading to the location you sent last night now."

At 10:15 in the morning, Lin Xiaoyan saw the message her dad just sent.

She calculated the time, and her parents would arrive in about forty minutes.

Thinking about seeing her mom and dad soon, Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t help but smile, feeling very happy inside.

"Ding dong, welcome..."

Someone had arrived.

Lin Xiaoyan put down her phone and looked toward the door.

When she saw the person who came in, she was taken aback, "Liu Xin?"

Liu Xin walked in with a relaxed look on her face.

"Xiao Lin."

"You..." Lin Xiaoyan looked at Liu Xin, wondering why she came here. Just got out of the police station?

Liu Xin said with a bit of embarrassment, "That person was arrested last night, and now I’m completely free!

I’ve already filed for divorce and sued him in court..."

Listening to Liu Xin’s words, Lin Xiaoyan felt happy for her.

"That’s great, finally free. Live well from now on and forget the past."

Liu Xin nodded with a smile, "I will."

Thinking of why she came today, Liu Xin seemed a bit hesitant.

Lin Xiaoyan noticed that Liu Xin seemed to have something to say, "What’s the matter?"

Liu Xin looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said, "I still can’t go home right now. My family is in Hu Province, and I don’t know when this matter will be resolved. I want to find a job before going back..."

At this point, Lin Xiaoyan understood what Liu Xin meant.

She smiled, "It’s just as well, I’m short on staff at my store. You worked here for two days before, so you’re familiar with the work. If you don’t mind, you can continue working at the store?"

"Of course, I don’t mind!!!"

Liu Xin said excitedly, then hesitated a little, "It’s just that I might need to take frequent leaves to handle things later on..."

"No worries, just take leave if you need to." Lin Xiaoyan said casually.

"Thank you, Xiao Lin. You’ve helped me so much..." Liu Xin said happily, not knowing what else to say.

Lin Xiaoyan waved her hand, "No need to thank me, it’s only right for us women to help each other."

"Can you start work today? Or tomorrow?" Lin Xiaoyan asked.

Liu Xin immediately said, "I can start work now."

"Great, I washed your uniform, and it’s in the cabinet. You can put it on."

"Okay."

Liu Xin quickly changed into her uniform, wearing a hat and a mask, with only her eyes visible.

Since the wounds on her face hadn’t healed yet, wearing a mask would avoid scaring others.

After coming out, Lin Xiaoyan introduced Liu Xin and Li Wen to each other.

Li Wen nodded with a smile and greeted Liu Xin.

Liu Xin also smiled and greeted Li Wen.

"By the way... did you say this is your store? Where’s the previous owner?"

Lin Xiaoyan took out her phone to check the time; her parents should be arriving soon.

"The previous owner had some issues and was in a hurry to transfer the store, so I took it over." Lin Xiaoyan explained.

Liu Xin understood after hearing this; no wonder she couldn’t reach the previous owner by phone all the time.

"Ding dong, welcome..."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up and was surprised to see the person coming in.

"Hello, Little Lin, long time no see!"

Xuan Shiyi greeted Lin Xiaoyan with a smile.

Li Wen and Liu Xin saw the person in a black robe and were both stunned.

When they saw the person knew the owner, they averted their gaze and continued working.

At this moment, there was just an order, so the two of them worked in the back.

Seeing Xuan Shiyi, Lin Xiaoyan was full of surprise, and then she remembered the 1.1 million in her account and immediately put on a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Xuan... er... sir?"

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t know how to address Xuan Shiyi.

Xuan—she didn’t know if it was their surname.

Xuan Shiyi chuckled, "Just call me Shiyi."

"Oh, okay. Hello, Mr. Eleven, and thank you for before..."

Lin Xiaoyan’s words were to thank Xuan Shiyi for their transfer.

Xuan Shiyi looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s face, sighing inwardly, this young lady’s Merit had grown a lot.

"I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you, we would’ve been finished long ago!"

Lin Xiaoyan pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, but she was guessing in her heart if there was something Xuan Shiyi needed.

Xuan Shiyi glanced around the store, "Is this your store?"

"Yes, I just took it over."

Xuan Shiyi walked to a corner of the entrance.

"I suggest you put a green plant here."

Lin Xiaoyan looked over, puzzled, "A green plant?"

Xuan Shiyi nodded, "A small crystal ball could go here."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at where Xuan Shiyi was pointing. She didn’t understand, but recalling that Xuan Shiyi was also from the Special Investigation Bureau and the Xuan Sect, she nodded.

"Alright, I’ll buy it in a bit."

Xuan Shiyi saw Lin Xiaoyan didn’t question and directly agreed, feeling satisfied.

"Rest assured, if you listen to me, your store’s business will flourish."

Hearing Xuan Shiyi’s words, Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, Mr. Eleven."

Both Li Wen and Liu Xin heard Xuan Shiyi’s words and looked at him with suspicion in their eyes.

They felt this person was a fraud!

Regarding Li Wen and Liu Xin’s gaze, Xuan Shiyi didn’t care at all.

He looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said, "By the way, I came this time to ask you for a favor."

"Sure, go ahead."

Xuan Shiyi pointed to a table, indicating for her to step outside to talk.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Li Wen and Liu Xin, saw they were quietly working, and went out to sit with Xuan Shiyi in a corner.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan go out to sit down with that ’fraud,’ Li Wen frowned as he focused on listening in on the conversation over there.

Liu Xin peeked out and saw Lin Xiaoyan sitting in the store; she breathed a sigh of relief.

She cautiously said to Li Wen, "Isn’t that person a fraud?"

Li Wen shook his head expressionlessly, "I don’t know."

Liu Xin made bubble tea while paying attention to what was happening with Lin Xiaoyan.

After sitting down, Xuan Shiyi took out a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on the table.

Lin Xiaoyan curiously looked at the talisman paper on the table, not knowing what it was for.

Xuan Shiyi explained, "This is a soundproofing talisman."

Lin Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows; it was her first time knowing there was such a thing as a soundproofing talisman!

However, thinking about the scenes she’d "seen" with Xuan Shiyi before, she wasn’t surprised anymore.

Zombies in movies exist, so these things must too.

"Next month, we have a competition; I’d like to invite you... cough, to come with us," Xuan Shiyi stated his purpose for coming today.
