Chapter Seventy
Yunxin asked again, "Can we also go to the future?"
Time Traveler: "That's right."
Superpower: Lies!
Yunxin pretended not to know and continued the conversation, "What will the future world be like? Will humanity still exist then?"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed." The time traveler adopted a profound and unfathomable demeanor, while simultaneously displaying a perfectly measured and compassionate expression. "I only hope that among the myriad paths, humanity can eventually find the one leading to happiness."
Superpower: Lies!
Yunxin: You don't care about human happiness; you just want to scam money.
Before she could say anything more, a woman in her thirties rushed over, grabbed the time traveler's leg, and wailed, "I have a million! I'll sell my house, I'm sure I can raise that much! Please, give me a spot, I really need it!! My daughter has cancer, and it was already in its late stages when it was diagnosed. The doctor said that if she had had a check-up a year ago, there might still be hope."
The time traveler was in a dilemma: "The number of spots is limited, and we can't just add more. I'm alone, traveling between the past and the future, and I can't save everyone..."
"Master, I beg you, save my daughter!" The woman cried and kowtowed, looking utterly miserable.
Seeing that everyone else was looking this way, the time traveler had no choice but to help the woman up, saying, "Get up first."
"No!" The woman clung to the last straw like a dying person, stubbornly refusing to let go. "I won't get up unless you agree."
"Why are you doing this?"
The woman knelt for a long time, kowtowing until her forehead turned red.
After a moment of stalemate, the time traveler sighed and finally relented, "Alright, I'll make an exception and help you this time."
Seeing the outcome, the aunt felt a strange sense of satisfaction. "Look at how many people are begging for the traveler's help with money! If you don't take out your money and reserve your spot soon, you might not have another chance!"
Turning around, the aunt was dumbfounded, "Where is everyone?"
She had been craning her neck to watch the commotion, thinking Yun Xin was right beside her. But when she turned around after seeing what was happening, the fat sheep had escaped.
I wish I hadn't gotten so caught up in the excitement!
The aunt was both angry and anxious, and full of regret.
“Here you are.” Yun Xin emerged from the crowd.
The aunt breathed a sigh of relief, but complained, "Where did you run off to? What if you missed the opportunity and couldn't get a spot? You're new here, you have no idea how fierce the competition is!"
“For just one million, I have the chance to give advice to my past self from a year ago. What a great opportunity! I can’t stay silent and keep it to myself.” Yunxin looked innocent and naive. “I called my relatives and told them about it. They were shocked and said they would come immediately.”
The aunt hesitated for a moment, "There are limited spots, so it's no use if they come."
Yun Xin said, "As long as the traveler is sincere, the traveler will consider it and increase the number of places."
The aunt initially wanted to stop her, but then she thought, what does this have to do with her? She just wanted to transfer the spot and earn a transfer fee.
Whether others have a spot or not, it's none of her business.
"Let's go, let's get things settled quickly so I can feel at ease."
Seeing that the time traveler and the woman who had suddenly barged in were almost finished talking, the aunt led Yunxin over again.
"Traveler, my distant niece would like to ask you to pass on a message." The aunt earnestly requested.
"What message do you want to convey?" the time traveler asked kindly.
Yun Xin smiled slightly and answered loudly, "Please help me tell the traveler from a year ago to remember to be a good person and never give in to depravity by committing fraud."
Time Traveler: ? ? ?
A thunderclap suddenly sounded from the ground, causing an uproar among everyone present.
The aunt looked like she was about to faint, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The time traveler's face darkened. "Security! Someone's causing trouble here. Take her out."
More than a dozen security guards rushed forward.
Yun Ting knocked one security guard unconscious with a single karate chop, then another. Soon, all ten-plus guards were unconscious, none of them able to open their eyes.
The time traveler panicked and turned to run away.
Yun Xin pressed him down with one hand and asked with a smile, "I've heard that travelers can travel through time and space. Do you know that in the future you will go to jail for defrauding others of their money? And I am the one who will catch you with my own hands."
The time traveler had no way to express his suffering, not knowing how he had offended this wicked star.
The fight had just ended when police sirens sounded outside.
On the other side, Sister Qing noticed Yun Xin getting into a fight and wanted to help. But in the blink of an eye, all her opponents were beaten down.
Sister Qing was stunned. "Isn't Yun Xin a spirit attribute ability user?"
Song Ge guessed, "He's pretending to be weak to catch a tiger, deliberately hiding his true abilities."
Liu Zheyu didn't say anything, because he was already stunned.
Soon after, the police rushed in and took everyone into custody. "We received a message that someone here is committing fraud. Please cooperate with the investigation."
Before anyone else could say anything, the woman who had been clinging to the time traveler's leg, crying and kowtowing, hurriedly explained, "It's not a scam! You've got the wrong person!"
Yun Xin grabbed the time traveler by the neck with her right hand and applied a little force. He immediately confessed, "I'm a liar! I can't go back to the past, and I can't go to the future. I just wanted to scam some money..."
"No, no, you're all lying to me, you're all lying to me!!" The woman broke down in tears.
The captain sighed and waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, two police officers took the time traveler away.
The aunt cautiously approached, her heart pounding, and asked, "Girl, is this your relative?"
Yun Xin nodded vigorously and replied in a serious tone, "The police and the people are one family, we are all one family."
The aunt's vision went black; she had truly fainted from anger this time.
Yun Xin caught the person and handed him over to the police, saying, "This is an important witness, please take good care of him."
The time traveler was arrested, and related personnel were also taken away for investigation, leaving the hall much emptier.
"You're something else!" Sister Qing ran over and slapped Yun Xin's shoulder hard. "I didn't expect you to like playing dumb. How about you show me your true skills sometime?"
Sister Qing was deliberately testing her, and she used about five or six tenths of her strength.
Generally speaking, even a superpowered person with a constitution of 3 would feel slightly uncomfortable and frown.
To everyone's surprise, Yun Xin didn't care at all. "It's not about pretending to be weak to fool others. It's just that no matter how high your attributes are, you still only have two eyes, two ears, and one nose. It's nothing special. Who in the world would reveal all their cards just to show how amazing they are?"
Sister Qing took out her phone and entered keywords into the search engine. After a few clicks, the phone screen turned to Yun Xin—someone was looked down upon by relatives and friends, so she angrily flaunted her millions in savings, along with a complete list of all her assets.
Yun Xin, "..."
Subway. Old man. Cell phone.
"Did your relatives and friends regret it?" Yunxin wondered what would happen next.
"Whether relatives and friends regret it or not is unknown, but the person involved does regret it. Because after his family's financial situation was made public, everyone he met, whether they knew him well or not, asked him for money." Sister Qing laughed unkindly.
“Some people like to be flamboyant, while others, like me, prefer to keep a low profile,” Yun Xin said casually. “It’s nothing important, no need to worry about it too much.”
Sister Qing was about to say something when Liu Zheyu interrupted her, "Yunxin, you're a bodyguard. I brought you here to protect me. You abandoned your post and went to do personal business. Do you know how wrong you are?"
Sister Qing, "..."
No way, you have a bodyguard who can both warn and fight, and you're not praising her but blaming her? Are you crazy?!
“Actually, I’m keeping a close eye on you,” Yunxin explained. “If you’re in danger, I’ll come immediately.”
"Soliciting excuses!" Liu Zheyu didn't believe it at all.
"You're neglecting your work; I can't keep you here."
"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to work."
Yunxin sighed, "You really can encounter anything when you live long enough." Having seen so many bosses leave, this was the first time someone had voluntarily dismissed her.
"Boss, Yunxin probably didn't do it on purpose, so please forgive her this time?" Sister Qing tried to plead. "She sent the swindler to jail, and maybe you can get back the million you were swindled out of."
"Shut up!" Liu Zheyu was unexpectedly forceful. "If you beg again, you can go with her."
Sister Qing's mouth was half open, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Yunxin wasn't particularly interested in work, but she couldn't understand why her boss said, "You're neglecting your work, I can't keep you." Her superpowers screamed in protest, "Lies! Lies! Lies!"
The statement "I can't keep her" doesn't seem fake, so the problem lies in the first half of the sentence?
The boss didn't want to fire her because she was negligent in her work.
That's strange.
They were both in the lobby. The boss wasn't injured, and he even discovered he had a bodyguard with high spiritual power and other high attributes. What could he possibly be unhappy about? Could it be...?
Liu Zheyu and Song Ge were about to leave when Yun Xin blocked their way, "Question! Boss, are you in cahoots with that time traveler?"
Liu Zheyu's expression changed drastically.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" he shouted.
"If not, please answer directly," Yun Xin demanded.
"I have no obligation to answer." Liu Zheyu, along with Song Ge, tried to bypass Yun Xin.
Yunxin pushed Song Ge to the ground with her hand and stretched out her foot. Then she turned around and pinned the boss against the wall, saying to him without any remorse, "I'm sorry, I can't let you go until you answer the question."
"Are you planning to restrict citizens' personal freedom now?" Liu Zheyu laughed angrily. "If I don't let you be a bodyguard, you'll just become a bandit?"
Yun Xin remained calm. "I said, you have questions. If you cooperate and answer them, I won't bother you any further."
"What if they don't cooperate?" Liu Zheyu asked.
With an innocent and bewildered expression, Yun Xin uttered extremely cruel words, "Lock him up and starve him for two or three days, and he will definitely change his mind."
Liu Zheyu's face turned ashen, yet he couldn't break free.
Yun Xin continued, "If you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of? Do you only agree to give up and cooperate if I have to use violence to beat Song Ge and Qing Jie down, seriously injure them, and make them unable to move?"
Sister Qing: ? ? ?
Why beat the bodyguard so badly that he couldn't move when the boss wasn't cooperating?
Why do working people make things difficult for each other? If you're so tough, go beat up your boss!
"I was just fired." Sister Qing stared sadly at the ceiling. "I'm unemployed, and I'm no longer anyone's bodyguard."
Liu Zheyu's forehead veins throbbed.
"Okay, ask."
As for whether what he said is true or not, who can tell except him?
Liu Zheyu, unaware of the details of the time traveler's capture, decided to give a few casual answers to gloss over the situation.
Yunxin began by asking, "Did you know beforehand that the travelers were scamming people?"
Liu Zheyu: "I don't know."
lie!
"Have you participated in any fraud?"
Liu Zheyu: "No."
lie!
Yun Xin lowered her head in thought. When she looked up, she boldly asked, "Could it be that you're the mastermind behind this?"
In an instant, Liu Zheyu was enraged. He raised his voice and angrily replied, "No!"
lie!
Yun Xin, "..."
At first, she thought the family couldn't function without her. The unsuspecting boss lost a million dollars, and it was thanks to her that they had a chance to recover it.
Later, it was discovered that the family fell apart even faster with her around. The boss was colluding with others to put on a show, and she directly took over the boss's business.
No wonder the boss was angry.
"Have you finished asking? Can I leave now?" Liu Zheyu asked, barely suppressing his anger.
“You’re done asking questions, you can go now. I’ll call a car to take you directly to the police station.” Yun Xin said as she took out her phone and dialed the police.
