Chapter 7 I'm Just a Supporting Role



It is impossible for me to stand on the street. I will never stand on the street in my life.

Her mentality as a man had not yet completely changed. Moreover, even if she was a pure girl, she would not sell herself for money.

This path is definitely not an option, but for female students who have no capital, no connections, and no channels, how can they make money to improve their family?

What happened to the promise that those who are reborn can make a lot of money and become rich?

TV and novels are all lies!

"If I had memorized the lottery numbers earlier, I wouldn't be so worried about money now."

Xu Xianxian pursed her lips, her mind full of thoughts about making money. She took out a large box of milk from the refrigerator, sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV, and started drinking it in small sips while watching it.

Although their family background is ordinary, the couple has made sure to provide their child with the necessary nutrition. Even if they cannot afford expensive natural milk, synthetic milk also contains the necessary nutrients.

Especially for a girl like Xu Xianxian who develops slowly, when relatives and elders come to visit during the holidays, they see that she looks only 13 years old when she is only 18 years old, and they all think that the Xu couple is abusing their eldest daughter.

Naturally, some preaching is inevitable.

"...At around 3:00 PM today, the Health Supervision Bureau uncovered a case involving an electric gun. This marks the eighteenth case of illegally possessing high-voltage electric weapons since the city launched its crackdown on crime in February. Over 7,200 high-voltage weapons of all types have been destroyed, involving a total of 130 million yuan. Seven members of the criminal gang have been apprehended, and six remain at large. A wanted notice will be played below. Please pay attention to safety. If anyone finds... "

The TV was broadcasting the local news channel, which was reporting on a high-pressure weapons case that had occurred that morning.

Xu Xianxian looked at it casually at first, but then her hand squeezing the milk stopped instantly because the wanted warrant broadcast on the news immediately attracted all her attention.

"One zero, two zeros, three zeros..." Xu Xianxian's eyes widened. She wiped the milk foam from the corner of her mouth, her pink lips opening and closing. "Just for providing clues and information, the reward amount is 20,000 yuan per person. If you can help solve the case, the reward is as high as 50,000 yuan!"

What is the concept of 20,000 yuan?

She works four hours a day in the supermarket, and after thirty days a month, her total salary is only about 1,000 yuan.

Her father worked in a factory, and his monthly salary was only 3,500 yuan! 20,000 yuan was half a year's income for a working-class family.

If it was just a reward for a wanted poster, Xu Xianxian would have just skipped it out of surprise, but one of the wanted criminals posted looked inexplicably familiar.

If there is no change in the future development trajectory, this person will be on the headlines of Nanwuzhou TV in a month.

The cause was a bar bombing, which resulted in more than 200 casualties. It was big news in the city that year, and many people used it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

If Xu Xianxian's memory is correct, the murderer named Li Naner would have been lurking near the "38 Degrees Bar" a week before the crime, waiting for an opportunity to install a high-pressure bomb.

"Just reporting the clue will earn you 20,000 yuan, which can help alleviate our family's financial difficulties." Xu Xianxian looked thoughtful as she watched the news continue on TV. She shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, what date is it today?"

"August 18th, what happened?"

After two or three seconds, Bai Xi's voice came from the kitchen.

"Nothing, just asking."

Xu Xianxian replied, and continued to drink the milk, thinking about the chances of getting the bounty, with an inexplicable gleam in her eyes.

By the time Xu Xianxian's father, Xu Renyuan, got off work, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. By this time, Xu Xianxian had already returned to her bedroom and was sleeping unconscious.

"Where's Xianxian? Has she returned home?"

When he came back, he looked a little flustered and pale, and asked his wife beside him.

This made the perceptive Bai Xi realize that something was wrong. While taking the other person's work clothes, he asked worriedly, "She came back a long time ago, watched TV after dinner, and is now asleep. What happened?"

"I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back." The worry on his face faded, and his face gradually regained its color, revealing a bit of relief. He first paced back and forth in front of the living room, and then sat on the sofa, took a deep breath, and said, "Something happened at Orion Supermarket."

"...What exactly happened?"

Bai Xi's expression became even more worried, and he asked nervously.

Orion Supermarket is where her daughter works. If something happens there, as a mother, she will naturally be afraid that her daughter will be affected. Even though Xu Xianxian has no blood relationship with her, she is definitely the apple of her eye.

"I was almost home when Lao Chen called me. He said there had been a murder at the Orion Supermarket. Five or six people were killed, and the scene had been sealed off by the Health Supervision Bureau." Xu Renyuan exhaled and said slowly, "When I heard the news, I almost thought the sky was falling. After all, Xianxian had been working at Orion for the past two months. When Lao Chen heard the news, he immediately wanted to ask about Xianxian's situation."

Old Chen and he were old friends, and their two families had a very good relationship. Old Chen worked in logistics at the Health Supervision Bureau, and was much better off than him, with a wide network of contacts. He knew that Xu Renyuan's daughter was working and studying at Lotte, so he notified him as soon as something happened.

"That supermarket was doing well...how could a murder happen there?" Bai Xi was shocked at first, then a little scared. "Luckily Xianxian came back early, otherwise...luckily, God bless us, God bless us..."
