Chapter 38 is missing.

[Ding! Mission complete.]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[Due to system intervention during the task, which was not completed independently by the host, 20% of the task bonus will be deducted.]

The remaining task rewards of 80,000 yuan have been distributed.

The mechanical, emotionless voice echoed in her mind again.

But watching the figures of the mother and child slowly disappear before my eyes...

Watching the slowly rising green specks, watching them seem to come alive as they circled around Ya Ya, and then vanish in an instant...

Zhong Wan felt empty inside, and even hearing about the bonus didn't make her happy.

What surprised her even more was that the voice continued.

[Ding! Detected that the host has triggered a hidden quest—Cause and Effect Cycle—while completing a task.]

[Ding! Hidden quest completion rate detected: 89%. Quest level rating: A.]

[Level rewards are being distributed...]

[Discovery complete.]

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan immediately became curious.

She turned her head, about to ask where Zhong Suisui was.

But the next second everything went black, and he collapsed.

"Zhong Wan!"

Lin Yan'an quickly caught her, and frowned slightly as he looked at her rosy complexion.

He reached out and placed his trembling hand under her nose.

[Dad, don't worry, mission accomplished, Mom's asleep.]

Hearing Zhong Suisui's voice, Lin Yan'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmm, Sui Sui is sleepy too.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an turned her head to look at Zhong Suisui, only to see that the adorable kitten's ears had folded softly, then perked up again in a flash.

A section of her pink tongue was still sticking out, as if she had just yawned and hadn't retracted it.

The head moved up and down little by little.

Lin Yan'an put one arm around Zhong Wan and reached the other hand to Zhong Suisui's side, whispering, "Go to sleep, Daddy will take you home."

Okay~

The moment the words fell, the chubby little body slumped into Lin Yan'an's arms with a thud.

He gently placed the kitten in his pocket.

Then he looked at the worried family of three and said, "They're asleep, they're fine."

The Hua family of three breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Ya Ya asked curiously, "What about Hua Hua and Lucky?"

Lin Yan'an remained silent.

But looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say anything cold.

Lin Yan'an pondered for a moment and said, "They've gone to another world, haven't they?"

"Did that kitten that got crushed go to another world too?"

Will Ya Ya be there over there?

Will there be a mom and dad?

Will Flower, Lucky, and the kitten be scared?

Ya Ya's little mouth kept asking questions.

Lin Yan'an: "..."

"No."

There's no room for warmth.

He picked up Zhong Wan and stood up indifferently, then looked at Boss Hua and said, "Please take us back."

Although it sounded like polite words, Boss Hua felt as if he had been given an order, and involuntarily replied, "Okay."

Ya Ya's mother was taken aback when she heard this, and quickly said, "Why don't you sleep at our house? We have a guest room, I can tidy it up quickly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an turned his head to glance at her, then looked down at Zhong Wan.

"No, thank you."

"Oh... okay."

Lin Yan'an, carrying Zhong Wan, turned around first. Seeing this, Boss Hua quickly turned his head and said, "Wife, I'll go see them off first. I'll come back to pick you up."

"good."

Goodbye, Dad.

"Yaya, be a good girl, listen to Mommy, Daddy's leaving now."

Mr. Hua hurriedly said a few words to them, then quickly followed after them.

The car drove steadily on the way back.

Mr. Hua focused on driving, occasionally glancing at the two people behind him through the rearview mirror.

Lin Yan'an closed his eyes and leaned against the backrest, the little one in his arms resting steadily against his chest.

Suddenly a bell rang, and Lin Yan'an instantly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp.

Mr. Hua was startled and quickly whispered, "It's not mine!"

Lin Yan'an glanced at him silently, then looked away, picked up her phone following the sound, and...

It was a video call from Zhong Yang.

Seeing the names constantly changing on the screen, I twitched my finger slightly and hung up without hesitation.

He glanced down at Zhong Wan in his arms, his left arm around her shoulder, while his right hand struggled to unlock her phone.

I found Zhong Yang's WeChat and replied to his message.

[Zhong Wan: What is it?]

[Zhong Yang: ? ? ? ? ]

[Zhong Yang: Why aren't you answering my calls? I just saw your message on social media. What happened? You guys didn't come back all night?!]

[Zhong Yang: Is everyone alright? I heard everyone in that shop was taken away by the police? You too?]

Zhong Wan: It's nothing.

[Zhong Yang: The kitten looks confused. (jpg)]

[Zhong Yang: Who are you? Are you Zhong Wan?]

Zhong Wan: ...

Lin Yan'an was surprised that Zhong Yang recognized him with just two sentences. His brows furrowed slightly, and a soft chuckle escaped his lips.

[Zhong Wan: Your sister is asleep. This is Lin Yan'an.]

[Zhong Yang: The cat breathed a sigh of relief. jpg.]

[Zhong Yang: Brother-in-law, are you all alright?]

[Zhong Wan: It's nothing, I'm on my way back.]

[Zhong Yang: Okay, have you eaten? What would you like to eat? I'll prepare it for you.]

[Zhong Wan: Either is fine, thank you.]

Just as Lin Yan'an was about to send a red envelope, he suddenly realized that it was Zhong Wan's phone and her WeChat account.

He picked up his phone with a swift and decisive movement.

But then they discovered that Zhong Yang's WeChat account was missing.

Lin Yan'an remained silent.

When I saw the group chat he had pinned to the top, I clicked on it.

After sending five red envelopes in a row, @Zhongyang [Accepted.]

Zhong Yang: ?

Zhong Yang: No need, I have enough money to buy food for my brother-in-law, and we have rice at home. I'll just buy some vegetables.

Zhong Yang was being polite, but there was one person in the group who was really impolite.

Pei Xingyu was awakened by the sound of his phone. He groggily opened his eyes...

Then I saw the red envelope his uncle sent in the group chat.

Before you can even react, your body and hands have already clicked the button.

After a series of actions, he fully regained consciousness.

Pei Xingyu sat up with a grin, holding his phone in both hands, and replied: 【@Lin Yan'an, thank you, Uncle! Long live Uncle! L('ω')┘三└('ω')】

[Pei Xingyu: @Zhong Yang, why be so polite to that rich bastard? It would be stupid to refuse money. ─━_─━。]

Lin Yan'an: ...

Pei Xingyu: Retracted a message.

Lin Yanan: I saw it.

[Pei Xingyu: Waaah, Uncle, you must have seen wrong!]

[Pei Xingyu: I just woke up. That was... sent by A-Gui!]

[Lin Yan'an: Ha, no allowance next month.]

[Lin Yan'an: A special transfer to Zhong Yang.]

[Lin Yan'an: @Zhong Yang, I've accepted the "change of address fee."]

Zhong Yang hesitated for a moment, then clicked on it. But after seeing the amount he received, he fell silent.

Two hundred thousand!

A full two hundred thousand!

Who would charge 200,000 yuan for a good person changing their address?!

Is this a bribe for changing his address, or money he got for selling his sister?!

┭┮﹏┭┮I'm really afraid he'll live to collect it, but not to spend it...
