Chapter Four: Money is an External Thing



Although Officer Li is only thirty-one years old, he has been a police officer for eight years. He has arrested and seen countless people. No matter how strong-willed a person is, once they enter this interrogation room, they will feel more or less nervous and uncomfortable, all fearing that the police will wrongly accuse them and thus be wrongfully imprisoned.

But the young girl in front of me was completely different. Judging from her posture and her nonchalant manner of speaking, I wondered why she had such a strong mentality.

In the end, he couldn't solve the case, and the Gu family outside was waiting for news, so he had no choice but to ask his master for help.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man, around fifty years old, walked in, looking tired and listless. From the moment he entered…

Li Zhiyi suddenly sat up straight, stared at him for a long while, then sat back down on the stool and shook his head.

Officer Li looked at her reaction with confusion, but secretly wondered if she was scared when she saw his master. But what did it mean when she shook her head?

Before he could even ask a question, Li Zhiyi said, "You're going to die tonight!"

Officer Chen had always been an upright person and had never violated the law during her patrols. As soon as she opened her mouth, she aroused Officer Li's extreme dissatisfaction: "How dare you talk like that? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll put you in solitary confinement."

Officer Chen waved his hand, signaling Zhang Jiaming not to interrupt, and asked, "Miss, what do you mean by that?"

“You have been entangled by evil spirits, and tonight was originally supposed to be your death night. However, your appearance has changed since you came in. This change means that you have a benefactor to help you, and that benefactor is me.”

Officer Li was furious. This little girl was spouting complete nonsense. "Master, don't listen to her nonsense. I think she's just..."

"Xiao Li, you can go out first. Oh, and turn off the surveillance cameras."

Officer Li was completely confused, but seeing that his mentor's tone was somewhat serious, he obediently went out.

"Young lady, what exactly is going on?"

"Think carefully, have you been to any strange places recently, or met any strange people?"

Old Chen recalled carefully, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said:

“About a week ago, I took my son back to my hometown to pay respects to our ancestors. While we were on the mountain, I heard someone calling my name, but when I turned around, I didn’t see anything. I asked my son, but he said he didn’t hear anything. That’s really strange.”

He found this very strange. He was certain he hadn't misheard that day, because the voice called his name three times in a row, and just as he was about to respond, the voice disappeared... But when he told his wife about it, she said he was just old and hallucinating.

"I saved you, how do you plan to repay me?"

He had seen a lot in his life and knew that money and material possessions were the least important things to a wise person. "How do you want me to repay you? As long as it's not illegal, I can consider it."

"I usually charge 250 yuan per session." This price was determined by her experience today, and these wealthy people probably wouldn't have any objections to it.

Officer Chen scrutinized Li Zhi for a while with the same look he would give a mentally ill criminal, thinking to himself, "This 250 yuan must have some special meaning."

Okay, I'll transfer the money to you.

What is a money transfer?

Don't you use a cell phone?

What is a cell phone?

Looking at this shrewd girl in front of him, who didn't use a mobile phone and didn't know how to transfer money, Officer Chen was completely bewildered. What kind of amazing person was she?!

There are still young people these days who don't use cell phones. You know, cell phones are closer to people than parents these days. They take them with them even when they go to the toilet, and they even swipe on their phones while eating. He was completely convinced that the woman in front of him was no ordinary person!

If Officer Chen had any doubts about her abilities before, he is now completely convinced, after all, truly exceptional people are extraordinary.

"Okay, I'll get you cash."

He quickly handed over the two hundred and fifty yuan in cash to Li Zhiyi. Li Zhiyi was very happy to see the money in his hand and shouted in his heart: Master, I've made something of myself.

"Officer Chen, I'll be at your house at 10 PM tonight. Just give me ten yuan for this amulet; keep it with you for now."

After finishing all that, Officer Chen took the person directly back to the Gu family. Li Zhiyi was very happy. He had earned 510 yuan in just one trip. He was really amazing!

After she returned to her room and took a nap, a maid called her to dinner as soon as she woke up.

Li Zhi was beaming with joy, his smile never fading.

Grandpa Gu was unaware that his grandson was injured until Nianzhi accidentally let it slip, and that's how he found out about today's events. He remarked that the little girl was their family's lucky star, as she had just arrived and had already saved his precious grandson.

"Girl, tell Grandpa what dishes you like to eat."

Looking at the eighteen dishes, three soups, and four pastries in front of him, Li Zhiyi thought they were all delicious and appealing. "Grandpa, these dishes are all very tasty. Before, when my master and I were on the mountain, we ate whatever was available. Sometimes we would go hungry for days before we could have a full meal."

She said these words very casually, without feeling ashamed at all!

But this made Old Master Gu very distressed! This girl had suffered so much injustice; he would definitely make it up to her in the future.

But some people looked down on her even more because of this. Look, what right does a woman like her have to come here to eat well and be the hostess?

"Hmph!" Nianzhi watched her grandfather being gentle with Li Zhi and snorted in dissatisfaction, her eyes looking arrogant as if they could reach the heavens.

Grandpa Gu looked at his granddaughter angrily, feeling somewhat disappointed. Over the years, he had been teaching his descendants to be grateful, to be content, and to reflect on and help others. They should not look down on anyone because of their family background or wealth.

Just as he was about to give his granddaughter a lesson in ideology and politics, he heard from the servants that the young master had returned in a wheelchair.

No one expected Gu Siye to return. After all, he has never liked crowds, and he never eats with everyone unless there is a major event in the family or the old man speaks up personally.

"Siye, does your leg still hurt?" Old Master Gu asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, Grandpa."

"Nianzhi, your sister-in-law has just arrived in Beijing and isn't familiar with the city yet. Why don't you spend more time with her, going shopping, having fun, and buying jewelry..."

"Grandpa, how can she be my sister-in-law? Look at her, she doesn't understand anything. She's lived in the mountains for so many years, she's already different from ordinary people." This means that Li Yi is a fool.

“Nianzhi, this is your sister-in-law. If you continue to act so disrespectfully, Grandpa will really get angry.”
