Chapter 79 Because he can help me attract wealth!
After lunch, the group left the restaurant one after another.
Listening to the lively discussion among the diners around me,
"Hey, have you guys heard?"
"What did you hear? Old Wang, can you stop talking so fast?"
"Hey, not me! Wasn't there a car accident in the south of the city a while ago?"
After taking a sip of his drink, Old Wang continued, "A man was hit and killed by a car while trying to save a little girl. His body was thrown quite a distance. The girl's family is still looking for him."
"I heard that the body has been in the morgue for almost two or three months now, and no family member has come to claim it yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan paused, turned her head, and listened attentively.
"The missing person notices have been posted, but there's still no news."
"Could the deceased have no family?"
"Impossible, right? I heard he's a pretty young man."
"Well, it's hard to say. Otherwise, why hasn't anyone claimed the body after so long?"
"That's true. I heard the child's family has been trying to buy as much time as possible. If there's still no news in a few days, the child will have to be cremated."
"No, we don't even know who this person was? They were cremated already?"
"What else can we do? The police said that if no one claims the body within 90 days at most, they'll cremate it. Otherwise, how can we just leave it there indefinitely?"
"Zhong Wan?"
Lin Yan'an looked at Zhong Wan with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Wan quickly shook her head and followed him.
After watching Mr. Hua and his family get into their car and leave, the two of them walked back into the shop hand in hand.
Even though it was lunchtime, Zhong Wan couldn't help but think back to what she had just heard.
She couldn't resist and started searching on her phone.
[Urgent Search! The remains of the unsung hero "Asphalt Guy" are about to be processed and cremated in three days. We are searching the entire internet for his family to bring him home.]
The bold, eye-catching headline instantly caught Zhong Wan's eye.
Thinking of the puddle of asphalt she had seen in the house during the day, and of Ah Nian's ghost, she quickly reached out and touched it.
On [Date], at the [Intersection Name] intersection, "Asphalt Man" was hit and killed by a car while saving a little girl... As his body has remained unclaimed for a long time, it will be cremated in three days. The family of the little girl who was rescued is pleading for help from all sectors of society. Heroes should not be nameless, and lost souls should return home. Please let the hero return home with dignity...
Is that Anian?
After reading it, Lin Yan'an couldn't help but ask, "The xxxx intersection, the one we passed by on our way back that night, I felt like there was an extra... place in the car..."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan shook her head, looked up at the building, and stared at the ethereal figure floating on the railing. She asked in a deep voice, "Is this person... you?"
Upon hearing this, A-Nian tilted her head slightly, looked at Zhong Wan and the other person, and sneered, "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
Lin Yan'an looked up at him, puzzled, and asked, "Don't you want to go home?"
Upon hearing his question, A-Nian's gaze shifted and landed on Lin Yan-An.
Curious, she asked, "Do you want to go home? The home where you were abandoned and forgotten..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an's eyes darkened slightly, and he stared intently at Anian.
I could feel the coldness in his eyes.
A-Nian spread her hands and sneered, "Since you don't want to, why ask me?"
"A Nian!"
Zhong Wan tightened her grip on Lin Yan'an's hand and quickly shouted, "We're talking about you! Don't drag him into this!"
Ah Nian was taken aback by what she heard. Looking at their tightly clasped hands, she smiled helplessly: "My business?"
"He looks a lot like him..."
His voice was very soft, as if it were held in his mouth. Zhong Wan could only vaguely sense that he was speaking, but she couldn't make out what he was saying. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you saying?"
Upon hearing this, Anian silently shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm sleepy."
"Sleepy?"
"I'd like to... go back inside, is that alright?"
"Can,"
Lin Yan'an nodded, looked at A Nian and said coldly, "I'll answer your question. If I have the chance, I'd also like to go back and take a look."
"In that place where I was abandoned and forgotten, some people have forgotten me, but there are also people who care for and love me with their lives."
"I also hope you can seriously consider whether there's anything about the place where you grew up that you'd miss."
"Heh, nostalgia?"
As if she had heard something amusing, A-Nian sneered, "What's so great about that lousy place that I'd miss?!"
"Why should I?!"
Why are you so lucky?!
Ah Nian's expression was somewhat manic as he looked at Lin Yan'an below and Zhong Wan, who was protecting him.
His eyes reddened: "We were both abandoned and forgotten, so why are you so lucky!"
What are you talking about?!
Zhong Wan was very puzzled. She looked back at Lin Yan'an, then at Anian, and asked in great confusion, "What does your matter have to do with Yan'an?!"
A-Nian instantly floated down in front of Zhong Wan, the asphalt beneath her feet churning. She stared directly at Zhong Wan and asked, "Why did you choose to marry him?"
Is it because of love?
Zhong Wan frowned, and Lin Yan'an couldn't help but feel a little nervous as well.
Why won't you say?
Anian pressed on: "Is it because of sympathy?"
Zhong Wan quickly shook her head: "How could that be?"
"Why is that?"
"Well, because he can help me attract wealth!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Nian's anger and resentment instantly froze.
He looked at Zhong Wan with a puzzled expression, then at Lin Yan'an, and became even more curious: "Zhao Cai?"
"yes!"
Zhong Wan nodded affirmatively and reached out to grasp Anian's arm.
[Ding: Spirit detected, system task in progress...]
[Task: ? Quest Level LV3.]
[Task Reward: 200,000 RMB]
Hearing the familiar system notification, Zhong Wan finally let go of her hand and looked at Anian ┓(′`)┏: "Did you hear that?"
Anian remained silent for a long time, then asked in a hoarse voice, "What is this?"
"System."
Zhong Wan said nonchalantly, "This is the task the system gave me. After I help you get rid of your obsession, you can receive the reward."
Two hundred thousand?
Yes!
"What if we can't finish it?"
"Then let's wait for the next one,"
Zhong Wan nodded happily, reached out and pulled Lin Yan'an over, smiling as she looked at Anian and said, "How is it? Isn't my mascot useful?"
"If it weren't for him, would I have encountered this mission of yours?"
Anian remained silent, glancing speechlessly at Zhong Wan.
He then turned to look at Lin Yan'an, his expression extremely complex.
But I can't quite put my finger on what it feels like.
He flickered and vanished in an instant.
Lin Yan'an looked up at the direction he had disappeared in, then looked down at Zhong Suisui, and said softly, "Suisui, why don't you go play with him for a while?"
【Meow~ Okay!】
Zhong Suisui happily called out and chased after it.
Lin Yan'an then turned to look at the girl beside him. Seeing her puzzled expression, he smiled and asked, "Is it still because I can help you attract wealth?"
