The atmosphere was broken only after they finished eating.

The next day, because Shang Wenwen's birthday banquet started at 5 p.m., they all took the afternoon off.

Shen Hua even took the morning off because she hadn't prepared a birthday gift yet. She had to go out and find some inspiration to decide what would be a suitable gift.

Buying gifts from outside was too casual, so she decided to look through her own online space for a more suitable gift.

Through her tireless efforts, she finally found a suitable gift: a pen that looked like a calligraphy brush.

It looks simple and unadorned, but it's actually very useful. You'll experience its benefits for yourself after you give it to her!

How useful it is depends on the individual.

After she was ready, she saw the missed call from Officer Liu.

Finally, there's news about her little money.

I quickly picked up my phone and dialed back. The other end answered in less than a minute.

"Hey! Uncle Liu, you're calling now, does that mean there's been a resolution to that matter?" Shen Hua asked eagerly.

"Yes, you're quite alert. I called to tell you about this. When would you like to come to my place? I'll help you with the paperwork." Officer Liu's voice was filled with joy.

It seems she really succeeded. As long as it's something that makes money, Shen Hua always has time. Besides, she happened to have other things to discuss with Officer Liu, so this was a good opportunity.

"Okay, Uncle Liu, I'm at home now, I'll be there in about half an hour."

Shen Hua hung up the phone and hurriedly went out.

As she said, half an hour later, she arrived at the police station. The door was open, and she greeted them before going inside.

Perhaps because Officer Liu had given her instructions, she encountered little resistance and arrived at Officer Liu's office.

"Knock knock knock, Uncle Liu."

"It's Chen girl, come in quickly!"

When Shen Hua went inside, she saw him smiling while holding a small object. When he saw her, he put the object away.

He gestured to the chair opposite her, inviting her to sit down, before recounting the whole story.

“Chen girl, the method you provided this time has helped us a lot. I had already applied for your request last time, and this morning, we received news from above, and the money was also allocated.”

He said something, and Shen Hua nodded. These weren't the important points; she just wanted to hear how much money had been allocated.

"You have no idea, things in Liu Village are not as simple as they seem. During our investigation, we uncovered a shocking case, and because of this..."

"Uncle Liu, I'm just a kid, it's not appropriate for me to listen to these things. Why don't you just tell us how much it costs, so we can make the handover properly?"

Officer Liu stopped talking, as what he said seemed to make sense. The students had already left, and although they would see even more terrifying things in the future, talking about it now wouldn't do them much good.

"Alright! Considering that this formula may have been developed by your ancestors at great personal risk, we've allocated 15 million to buy it out. We'll promote it in the future. Here's the contract. Feel free to raise any objections; we can make appropriate changes."

Shen Hua had no objections. When she heard about the buyout, she thought they wanted to open their own store, but she didn't expect it to be about promoting it.

This is a good thing. She won't lose out on the 15 million; in fact, she'll make a profit.

I just did this out of boredom, and the timeline does match my ancestors' generations, but who told you to live so long?

She glanced at the contract and then signed it.

"Uncle Liu, there's nothing wrong with the contract, and I have no objections. Of course, if my ancestors knew that this method was being used, they would be laughing so hard they couldn't even close their coffins."

Officer Liu: ...

That sounds a bit creepy. If she's a hermit, then her family should live a long time. Is it really appropriate to say that?

However, seeing that she seemed genuinely happy, had no objections, and didn't seem to care about what he had said, he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

That's a lot of money; he wouldn't earn that much in half a lifetime with his salary. I'm a little worried she won't be able to keep it safe.

“Chen girl, you have savings in the bank. Do you want to consider depositing it? There’s a specified term, and you get interest every year.”

Shen Hua waved her hand and said, "No, thank you for reminding me, Uncle Liu, but I have a use for this money."

"Okay then! I'll make the payment in a bit. It's around 11:30 now, so the money should arrive around 12:00."

Shen Hua nodded. She noticed that Officer Liu seemed much more confident today, and the corners of his mouth never left his mouth. He had also changed his clothes, which were now looser, darker in color, and had a more refined pattern. This was a sign that something good was about to happen.

"Oh! By the way, you did me a big favor this time. I got promoted thanks to you. When do you have time to come to my house? Bring Xiaoqi with you. I'll have your aunt treat you to a meal and express my gratitude."

So it was a promotion. No wonder you're so happy.

"Uncle Liu, there's no need for a meal. I've found a teacher for Xiaoqi, but he's been quite busy lately, and our school is pretty busy too. However, there is something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"What is it? Tell me first."

Officer Liu wasn't so overjoyed that he immediately agreed.

Shen Hua didn't know if things would work out, but regardless, she had to bring it up first.

"Yeah, I want to buy a car, but I'm not an adult yet, so I can't get a driver's license. What do you think?"

Officer Liu was on guard; he knew something bad was going to happen. Luckily, he didn't agree immediately, as this was no small matter.

If he gets caught, he'll be in big trouble, and he'll also be charged with harboring a criminal.

He immediately looked troubled and said, "I really can't help you with this. If you want a driver's license, you'll have to wait until you're an adult. Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person."

"There's a way to get them. People from big families don't need driver's licenses or anything like that. Why? Because they're incredibly powerful. You know what those extraordinary abilities are. Your uncle is just an ordinary person. These kinds of things really aren't my responsibility."

Shen Hua became interested. What she said made a lot of sense. Even she didn't need a car; she could teleport or fly directly, but that wasn't because the times didn't allow it.

However, those people probably don't have her abilities; they could also control the car.

"Uncle Liu, what should we do?"

"You'll have to ask your principal, or your classmates," Officer Liu said helplessly.

He chose to be an ordinary person because he wanted to live a peaceful life, even if it was short. Others, though capable, might not live long.

The principal of Ouran High School, sigh! It's better not to think about it; those are all bad memories, and there's no point in talking about them.
