Chapter 3
? !
This liar is quite persistent and came back again!
After the phone call with her best friend, Xue Mi also felt that with her credit limit, it should be difficult for scammers to find ways to defraud her of online loans. After thinking it over, the possibility of cutting her back was more likely.
When she received the call, her first reaction was that alarm bells went off in her head.
At this time, there is no need to consider whether it will waste police resources. Your own life is more important.
After pretending to make an appointment with the other party for a meeting time and place, Xue Mi called the police.
If I could successfully crack a transnational kidnapping case, maybe I could even get some bonus?
Xue Mi fantasized happily.
No matter how much she thought about it, Xue Mi still felt a little scared when she really had to face that group of people of unknown origin.
She specifically made an appointment with the other party at a cafe near the company.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the coffee shop was most likely closed, but the police station next to the coffee shop gave Xue Mi a full sense of security.
The snow stopped this morning and the sun came out a little, but the sunlight fell on the snow on the side of the road, making it seem even colder.
At noon, there were a lot more people strolling around, and the streets were more lively, not as deserted as in the morning.
Xue Mi was wearing a thick down jacket and a big hat. She walked to the agreed location like a clumsy duck, swaying with every step and looking vigilant. She was ready at all times and would scream for help if anything went wrong.
As expected, the door of the cafe was closed. However, standing next to the cafe was a man wearing an expensive dark grey woolen coat, looking quite noble—and a little cold. He walked over and greeted Xue Mi: "Hello, are you Miss Xue? I am..."
Before the man could finish his words, Xue Mi suddenly screamed. The next moment, several young men in handsome uniforms suddenly appeared and invited the two of them into the police station nearby.
Xue Mi, who was dressed like a duck, put her hands in her sleeves and raised her eyebrows smugly at the liar.
The well-dressed liar was obviously frightened by the sudden scene. He was stunned for a moment, but did not run away in panic. Instead, he smiled bitterly at Xue Mi and obediently went into the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
Xue Mi was a little confused about this guy's indifferent demeanor.
After entering the police station, the man obediently showed his passport. He turned out to be a foreigner!
The most important thing is that the pile of messy documents he took out were verified one by one by the policeman, and they were all true!
This guy, who doesn't look very old, is actually a partner of a well-known law firm, and not a kidney-cutting criminal as Xue Mi imagined.
You can even find reports about him online, with regular media reports and pictures of him being an internationally renowned lawyer!
Xue Mi was silent.
This guy's identity is real, which means that what he said on the phone yesterday is also likely to be true.
Xue Mi couldn't tell whether she should be happy about the unexpected wealth or sad about the sudden death of her biological mother.
The policeman next to him didn't know what was going on in Xue Mi's mind, and he checked the foreigner carefully: "It's a good thing that you are vigilant, but we have checked, and there should be no problem with this person's identity. As for the rest, we can't guarantee that he can be trusted."
An ordinary Chinese girl suddenly received a mysterious inheritance from abroad. It sounded like a legend, and the police did not dare to make any guarantees.
The handsome, mixed-race foreigner smiled at Xue Mi and said, "Formally, my name is Andrew Feng. Before Ms. Mi passed away, she entrusted our law firm to handle her estate, and you are the only designated heir of her estate."
After confirming that the police station had already registered this guy's identity information, Xue Mi finally plucked up the courage to accept the man's invitation to lunch, and by the way, she wanted to hear what the inheritance this foreigner was talking about was all about.
After coming out of the police station, Xue Mi was cautious. She glanced at the young men and women in the police station before she reluctantly got into the foreigner's car.
This man said that he had just arrived in China in the morning, but the car he was driving was a valuable luxury car. The place where he took Xue Mi to have lunch was also a famous high-end restaurant nearby.
In just over ten minutes, Xue Mi fully experienced the style of the evil rich people.
This restaurant is hidden on the upper floors of a business building. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge crystal chandelier, which shows an incomparable sense of luxury.
Xue Mi took one look at the neatly dressed and impressive waiter, then looked at herself in her half-new down jacket and heavy snow boots, and felt a sense of being out of place.
Xue Mi lowered her voice and said to the foreigner next to her: "This place is very expensive. I can't afford it."
The implication was that either they should go to another restaurant or the foreigner should treat them, as she would not pay anyway.
Although Xue Mi had never had the chance to visit this high-end restaurant before, she had seen internet celebrities visiting the restaurant and knew that it was a particularly flashy restaurant with an average per capita consumption of several thousand yuan and a main focus on plating and service.
She can't bear to be a big victim.
Lawyer Feng looked at Xue Mi deeply and said, "Don't worry, the commission fee is enough to cover these expenses."
Huh, it sounds like her mother left behind quite a bit of property?
The uncomfortable feeling like pins and needles in Xue Mi's body instantly subsided a lot, especially when a row of handsome waiters in three-piece suits welcomed Xue Mi into the private room with friendly smiles on their faces, she finally experienced the happiness of being rich.
Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, this row of faces is truly a feast for the eyes!
After sitting down, Lawyer Feng was not in a hurry to talk about business. Instead, he pretended to wipe his hands with a wet towel and took a sip of the soda lemonade brought by the waiter.
Xue Mi followed suit and took a sip of the lemonade in the crystal glass. It looked like the lemonade had instantly become many times more valuable, but unfortunately, she didn't taste anything particularly precious.
The smell of money was almost filling her stomach - she had just accidentally glanced at the menu handed over by the waiter and was almost choked by the prices that followed it.
Such a cup of broken water is not free, and they dare to charge 180! On top of that, there is a 15% service charge!
This is indeed a restaurant that specializes in taking advantage of the rich.
Xue Mi was trying to savor the special flavor of the legendary perfumed lemon imported from abroad, when she heard Lawyer Feng clear his throat and say:
"Ms. Mi, your mother, is an important client of our law firm, so we attach great importance to this commission and will do our best to provide you with the most complete service and safeguard your rights."
When Xue Mi mentioned her biological mother again, she was troubled and finally couldn't help asking, "What kind of person is my mother? Did she remarry? Doesn't she have other children?"
Her mother passed away when Xue Mi was three years old and never appeared again, so apart from the name, Xue Mi had almost no impression of her biological mother.
When she was a child, she often fantasized about her mother suddenly appearing and taking her away. However, as she grew older, her fantasy was completely shattered, and her feelings towards her biological mother became even more complicated.
Lawyer Feng thought for a moment and said, "Your mother...is a low-key but quite wealthy lady. In addition to your biological father, she has been married twice before. However, she has no other children besides you."
Xue Mi lowered her eyes and gently stirred the glass of green lemonade.
Seeing Xue Mi's expression, Lawyer Feng smiled again:
"The property you are about to inherit is far more than you can imagine, but let's not talk about business while eating. We can talk in detail after the meal. Now just concentrate on enjoying the food." Lawyer Feng said and nodded to the waiter next to him, who officially brought the first appetizer.
There were only two people dining there, but there were quite a few waiters gathered in the private room. In addition to those serving tea and water, there were also those who seriously held large plates and served dishes, and there was even someone who specialized in explaining the dishes.
Listening to the pretty lady's lengthy introduction of everything from the origin to the cooking methods, and from the desire for food to the creative idea of the unity of man and nature, Xue Mi's only feeling was: it can be seen that the restaurant is trying very hard to get the wronged customers to pay, but it doesn't seem so unfair.
Since she doesn't have to spend any money, Xue Mi just treats it as an eye-opener and enjoys the food at the same time.
As for the matter of her biological mother, she was no longer alive, so there was really no need for her to worry about it any more.
Xue Mi is a person who, although she has never seen any big scenes and can't help but exude the poor spirit of a hard-working worker, she has one advantage, which is that she is very open-minded.
After all, I have been accustomed to being alone since I was a child. If I don’t become more cheerful, I really won’t be able to survive.
At the same time, she was still quite lucid.
For example, she knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and that being suddenly treated to a free meal is likely to have ulterior motives. Also, even if a group of handsome guys smile at her flatteringly, she will never imagine that she is so charming that she suddenly becomes a heartthrob.
Those handsome guys were smiling at the money, not at her. As for this particularly stylish-looking Lawyer Feng, behind his aloof and noble demeanor, he probably had selfish motives.
At present, it seems that the most likely purpose is to win over customers - there is no essential difference between this and those salesmen who are always thinking about bringing customers out for food and drinks.
At most, she would be more stylish and spend more money, but Xue Mi had to admit that even if she hadn't become a rich person yet, she quite enjoyed this kind of winning over.
After all, although this restaurant charges a lot of money, the food tastes really good. The key is that the ingredients are excellent. Even if the simplest cooking method is used, you can still taste the ultimate freshness and sweetness.
When a huge king crab was displayed, Xue Mi finally couldn't help it and asked Lawyer Feng if she could take a few photos.
Lawyer Feng smiled slightly and gracefully made a please-come-at-home gesture.
Xue Mi immediately took a lot of photos and also recorded a short video of herself putting the big lump of crab meat in her mouth. She then happily sent them all to her bestie.
Zhang Ying's reply was very quick, beginning with three huge exclamation marks:
【! ! ! Did you win the lottery? ! 】
