Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Chapter 10
Gu Ting got into the police car, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. When he arrived at the police station, he was arranged to rest in a room. Because three serious criminals were arrested in a row, some people had to collect evidence on the spot, some were responsible for reviewing the case files, and some had to contact witnesses...so they couldn't take care of Gu Ting for a while.
Gu Ting was really hungry, but it was difficult for modern people to move around without a mobile phone. He was just about to find a kind-hearted policeman to borrow money for breakfast. When he arrived at the gate, he met a young girl in a sweatshirt. They looked at each other and were both stunned.
The two met on the bridge yesterday.
Gu Ting immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Meeting is fate. Can you lend me some money? I'm still in my pajamas, penniless, and hungry!"
The girl wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her and had no choice but to nod: "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
Gu Ting blinked: "Who said I wanted to buy something? I wanted to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket."
Girl: "..." Her expression was not lively at all and she seemed a little speechless.
However, the girl might not be good at persuading others, so she could only let Gu Ting drag her to the lottery station opposite the police station.
Gu Ting stood in front of the Welfare Lottery Station and couldn't help but praise: "Boss, it's a good idea to open a lottery station across from the police station."
The proprietress smiled kindly and said, "I just want to tell those who want to do bad things, if you take a step forward, the police station is waiting for you, and if you take a step back, hope is waiting for you."
Gu Ting couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Great, really great! Madam, give me a 10-yuan Xi Xiang Feng ticket."
Seeing the girl paid, Gu Ting started scratching immediately. The girl next to him was still distracted, and the proprietress didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she was chatting enthusiastically with other customers about the big commotion at the police station this morning. She didn't know what they caught, so when Gu Ting calmly handed her the Xi Xiang Feng scar after scratching it, she didn't care much.
Then she looked once, and again, until her eyes were almost touching, and she exclaimed "Oh shit".
"Three hundred thousand! You've won the jackpot, beautiful lady!"
"I won with just one shot, what kind of luck is this?"
This sentence was like pouring a bowl of water into a hot oil pan, which immediately caused an uproar. All the people in the lottery station, including the girl, gathered around in an instant, looking at her with envy, jealousy, and curiosity, with flames rising in their eyes - that was the desire for wealth.
Gu Ting's excitement was mixed with a hint of helplessness: "I just want to win some money to buy a bowl of instant noodles, but for 300,000 yuan, do I have to go to the main station to claim the prize? I have no idea what to eat this morning."
Onlookers: This is too extraordinary, this is too extraordinary, please someone come and take her out!
Gu Ting suddenly turned around and looked for the girl, pleading in his eyes: "Girl, lend me another ten yuan!"
Have you ever risked your life for a bowl of instant noodles in your life? She did!
Girl: “…” I didn’t understand, but I was shocked.
The girl obediently paid another ten yuan. Gu Ting still picked a ticket at random. This time, under the gaze of everyone, Gu Ting scratched the scratch card. Five seconds later, the entire lottery station was in a frenzy. Everyone picked up their phones to capture this fantastic scene.
"Hit! Again!"
"This is insane! Two 300,000 hits in a row! It's like being struck by lightning during rain, twice in a row. Is this scientific? Is this really scientific?"
"Beautiful lady, I've been shaving for twenty years and haven't gotten anything. Can you share some tips? I'll pay you!"
"What kind of experience is that? The more you believe in experience, the less likely it is to work! I'd say this beauty is just born with good fortune, it's unstoppable!"
"Girl, what personal belongings do you have? I'm willing to spend 500 yuan to buy them! Give me the money now! Big brother, try your luck!"
"I want 888 yuan, sell it to me first!"
Some people went even further, some directly grabbed her hands, and some even took the opportunity to touch Gu Ting all over. It was hard to tell whether they really wanted to receive good fortune or just wanted to take advantage of her.
How could Gu Ting bear this? He quickly grabbed a wretched-looking man and slapped him in the face, "You filthy scoundrel!"
Without waiting for Gu Ting to make another move, the others who really wanted to get some good fortune rushed over and grabbed the wretched man. They immediately sent him to the police station across the street. Their efficiency was so high that Gu Ting was astonished.
Before they left, they urged her repeatedly, "Don't leave in a hurry, beautiful lady. We'll come back to continue receiving your fortune."
Gu. Humanoid Wishing Pond. Ting: "..."
I can fulfill your wishes, but who will fulfill mine? At first, I really just wanted to have a bowl of instant noodles for free, and I really didn't covet this beauty worth 600,000!
After the crowd nearly rubbed Gu Ting bald, they rushed to buy the scratch tickets, and they were sold out in the blink of an eye. The boss lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Finally, she gave Gu Ting twenty yuan and said, "Beautiful girl, I am lucky to have you here today. When you claim the prize, please take care of my business."
Gu Ting said: "Of course, of course." But in his heart: What a sin, what a sin! A small scratch can make you happy, but a big scratch can hurt your body!
Gu Ting bought a bowl of instant noodles and a braised egg for twenty yuan, and returned the remaining thirteen yuan to Xu Zixin first, "I'll return the remaining seven yuan to you later."
The convenience store owner was speechless for a while. It was the first time he saw someone paying in installments for 20 yuan.
Gu Ting returned to the police station contentedly to make some instant noodles. Xu Zixin finally found an opportunity to speak. She pulled out a well-preserved lottery ticket from her bag and handed it back to Gu Ting: "You gave me the lottery ticket yesterday. I originally wanted to ask the police to help find you, so now it's just the right time to return it to you."
Gu Ting licked his lips, leaned in and whispered, "Did you win?"
Xu Zixin looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he nodded heavily and said in a very soft voice, "First prize, 6.8 million."
Gu Ting took a deep breath. After paying 20% tax, he still had more than five million left. This was a huge sum of money!
Before last night, she hadn't had a clear understanding of her fortune. She only thought it was strong, but she wasn't so confident as to think she could win 6.8 million yuan for just two dollars. That was so outrageous, so she was willing to give a lottery ticket to a stranger. If it were now, she definitely wouldn't be so generous. This wasn't just a two-dollar lottery ticket? It was clearly a receipt for wealth!
Now, for the first time, she sincerely felt that the God of Wealth buff was terrifyingly powerful. It turned out that the rubbish invincible lucky star lottery system, apart from being extremely disgusting, still had some usefulness.
For five million dollars, she quietly forgave it for five minutes.
Xu Zixin had been observing Gu Ting's expression. She couldn't understand what Gu Ting was thinking, so she continued, "This money originally belonged to you, and now it's returned intact. And thank you for your kindness yesterday. I still have to go to work. Goodbye."
Gu Ting woke up as if from a dream, stood up and stopped Xu Zixin, and asked her curiously: "Why don't you keep the lottery ticket and claim the prize yourself? I don't remember the number."
"But the lottery ticket originally belonged to you. It's like you wanted to give me a piece of silver, but when I got home I found out it was actually made of gold. I can't accept this wealth that originally belonged to someone else with a clear conscience."
Gu Ting couldn't help but feel respect for this ordinary girl in front of her. She thought for a moment and said, "How about this, after paying taxes, we each get half. This way, neither of us will suffer a loss."
Xu Zixin opened her mouth to refuse, but Gu Ting interrupted her, "Since it's a gift, how can I regret it? You came to me with the lottery ticket as a token of your kindness, and of course I have to respond with my own. This half of the money is my token of kindness, and you must accept it."
At this point, she looked at Xu Zixin deeply and said, "Besides, we ordinary people all have difficulties. You were so sad yesterday, you must have your own difficulties. With this money, we will have the confidence to deal with any problems. Don't worry, I sincerely want to split it with you, without any reluctance. Take it."
She has the God of Wealth buff, which is her biggest golden finger. Today, it's not that she is short of two million, but Xu Zixin gave her more than two million, which has a different meaning.
Xu Zixin was speechless for a long time, but her eyes were slightly red. After calming down, she forced a smile: "Thank you. With this money, my mother's illness will definitely get better. I thank you on my mother's behalf. From now on, you will be our family's benefactor."
Gu Ting wasn't good at handling such sentimental drama, so he quickly put his arm around her shoulder and tried to change the subject: "There's something I really need your help with. I'm a live streamer, so I'm considered a semi-public figure, so it's not convenient for me to come and claim the prize. You take the lottery ticket, go and claim it, okay?"
Xu Zixin: "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and run away?"
Gu Ting looked at him like a fool and said, "You even returned the first-prize lottery ticket. Is there anyone more honest than you?"
Xu Zixin smiled a little foolishly.
After Xu Zixin left, Gu Ting had just opened the lid of her instant noodles and taken a mouthful of hot food when a middle-aged man in a suit and glasses came in, carrying a briefcase. He stopped across from her and extended his hand, "Hello, Miss Gu. My last name is Liu. I'm Mr. Xiaoyan's lawyer and I'm also in charge of your case."
Gu Ting put down his fork and shook hands perfunctorily. He glanced at the instant noodles and then at Lawyer Liu opposite him. In the end, his heart still leaned towards the instant noodles: "Lawyer Liu, wait for me for three minutes." How could instant noodles that are more attractive than 600,000 taste bad?
"Okay." Lawyer Liu readily agreed. He opened his briefcase, took out a document, and held it in front of Gu Ting for her to review. "Here's an agreement. You can take a look at it first."
Gu Ting originally thought it was an ordinary document until she saw Yan Xiu's name on it. The more she read, the more surprised she became. However, she still chose to finish her instant noodles first and fill her stomach before asking questions.
"5 million, just to prevent me from revealing any part about Yan Xiu in the kidnapping incident?" Gu Ting asked in confusion.
Lawyer Liu didn't even blink: "Yes, it's that simple. Just sign and the 5 million will be deposited into your card immediately."
Gu Ting nearly choked. Although she knew she had the God of Wealth buff, wasn't the idea of signing a signature and getting five million a bit too casual? She began to wonder, could it be that because she didn't have a boyfriend, and naturally didn't have the scene where a wealthy mother would throw five million in her face and ask her to leave her son, she had found a way to give her the money for free?
Ever since she came back, she has become less and less able to understand this world.
She knew that as long as she signed today, not only would her debts be written off, but she would also have money left for other things, such as buying a small house or a car, traveling to places she had always wanted to go, and buying beautiful clothes, shoes, and bags... These were all things she had only dared to think about in her mind before.
