241: Chapter 241 The System's Grievance

"Th-then, how is she doing now?"

Ms. Zhao's brain was still in a whirl, and she asked subconsciously.

Lin Xiao stated frankly, "She has already been rescued over there and is worrying about how to come back!"

Ms. Zhao glanced at Su Yu, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head silently, "Lawyer Su, I came to you before because I trusted you, but what you are doing now is truly going too far."

Su Yu frowned slightly.

She understood that Ms. Zhao didn't believe her.

In fact, if it were anyone else, it would be impossible to believe such a thing.

Under these circumstances, she didn't know how to persuade her either.

To Ms. Zhao, Su Yu's hesitation looked like a guilty conscience.

"It would be one thing if you couldn't find my daughter's body, but to make up such a clumsy excuse, you really…"

Ms. Zhao was both angry and sad, her voice choked, and she couldn't bring herself to say the rest.

Lin Xiao said bluntly, "Everything I said is true. You don't have to believe me, but I've finished the job, and you must pay the agreed-upon remuneration."

"A-Xiao!"

Seeing Ms. Zhao's pitiful appearance, Su Yu tried hard to signal Lin Xiao with her eyes, telling him not to provoke her any further.

After saying this, she gently placed her hand on Ms. Zhao's shoulder and comforted her, "Ms. Zhao, I think you should believe my brother. Not to mention that with his status as the Young Master of the Lin Family, there is absolutely no need for him to lie to you. Besides, even if he really wanted to lie to you, there would be no need to use such an excuse."

Ms. Zhao pursed her lips, seemingly struggling with the decision.

After a long while, she looked up and asked, "Then, can you help her transmigrate back?"

"This…"

Lin Xiao hadn't expected Ms. Zhao to make such a request.

He immediately asked in his mind.

"gossip system, can you bring someone back?"

[No.]

"Then can you get her a cheat?"

[Probably not.]

Fine, the tone of the two refusals was different.

That meant there might still be a chance for this cheat.

He then said directly to Ms. Zhao, "I'm afraid she can't transmigrate back, but we can spend some money to get her a cheat."

"A cheat, what is that?"

Ms. Zhao rarely read related novels or anime, so she didn't know much about this.

Lin Xiao explained, "You can understand it as a kind of superpower that helps her live better over there."

"I see…"

Ms. Zhao fell into deep thought once again.

Honestly, if these things had been said by someone else, she would definitely have thought the other person was a scammer just trying to swindle her out of money.

But as Su Yu had just said, the Lin family was not short of money at all.

Why go to such great lengths to lie to her?

At this moment, Su Yu was also lost in thought.

Lin Xiao's words reminded her of something.

A cheat?

If this world also had cheats, wouldn't that explain the things that happened to Lin Xiao?

Could it be that Lin Xiao also came from another world and possessed a cheat that allowed him to predict the future?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was very likely.

It was just that there was no way to verify it.

In Lin Xiao's mind, the gossip system emitted a sharp, ear-piercing sound.

[Host! I can't do it!]

[This isn't a project my department is responsible for!]

"Think of a way. Money makes the world go round."

[...]

[Then I'll ask.]

The gossip system hesitated but compromised.

After about a minute, the gossip system returned.

[Hey! It's done!]

There was excitement in the gossip system's voice.

[I just went to ask the Ancient Transmigration Department, and they admitted that there was a data error and they forgot to give that girl a cheat!]

[At my reminder, they immediately went to fix it and even thanked me! They also agreed to let us choose a cheat ourselves.]

[That means we can choose a cheat without having to pay anything!]

[Host, look at this commission…]

"Fifty-fifty."

[Alright!]

[Then hurry up and decide what cheat you want, I'll go notify them.]

The gossip system was gleeful.

"Can I really have any cheat?"

Ms. Zhao was still a bit uncertain.

"Yes. As for what kind, you decide… For example, peerless medical skills, immense strength, an IQ of 200, and so on… However, the better the cheat, the higher the price!"

Lin Xiao reminded her.

"Money is not an issue!"

Ms. Zhao waved her hand casually.

But what to choose for her daughter, that stumped her.

Ms. Zhao felt she should give her daughter endless money, but Su Yu thought that having only money in ancient times was not a good thing, and it would be better to possess peerless martial arts skills.

If she could dominate everyone, would she still need to worry about not having money?

Lin Xiao also suggested at the right time, "How about giving her a system?"

The gossip system in his mind was frightened by this sentence.

[Host! Are you going to give me to her?]

[Are you abandoning me?]

[Ah, just for a little money, are you going to sell me off?]

"I was just saying it casually."

Lin Xiao was annoyed by the noise, "Besides, your gossip system is really…"

[Is what?]

[Host, keep going!]

[Do you think I'm too weak?]

[Sure enough, you've disliked me for a long time!]

[Every time there's a general meeting, I'm looked down upon, and it turns out you look down on me too, wuwuwuwu.]

...

Seeing that the gossip system's voice had taken on a sobbing tone, Lin Xiao had to rub his forehead and soothe it, "Alright, alright, you're not weak, you're not weak, you're the best."

Ms. Zhao quickly thought of a very good cheat.

"How about this, I want to give my daughter a very large spatial warehouse. I can put the supplies she needs into it for her to use, including medicine and weapons. I don't want her to suffer any more hardship!"

As Ms. Zhao spoke, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

Since heaven had given her daughter a second chance at life, she must fulfill her duties as a mother.

Even if they couldn't meet, she would still give her daughter everything she had!

"Okay."

Lin Xiao agreed decisively.

After accepting the one million transferred by Ms. Zhao, he asked the gossip system to notify the other side.

Soon, the gossip system returned.

[Everything is done!]

At the same time, a black card appeared in Lin Xiao's hand.

In appearance, it looked similar to an ordinary bank card, only there wasn't a single character on it.

He handed the card to Ms. Zhao, "If there's anything you want to put into the warehouse, just use this card and tap it on that object a few times."

"Is that all it takes?"

Ms. Zhao took the card solemnly and carefully put it away.

"Aren't you going to try it out?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"No need to try it for now, I believe you."

Ms. Zhao shook her head silently, her eyes becoming sharp and cold, "I think there are more important things to do right now."

After saying this, she looked at Su Yu.

"Lawyer Su, if the body cannot be found, will that scum be released?"
