286: Chapter 286 The Impossible

"Resigned?"

Qiu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Qiu looked at each other in disbelief.

It seemed they did not want to believe that such a coincidence could happen.

They only wanted to see the items left behind by the departed old man; why was it so difficult?

"Wait a minute, did that person take the key? Or could it be that he has already taken the contents of the safe as well?"

Qiu Xiaoyan asked hurriedly.

"The items should still be there. Besides the key, our safe here also requires the Bank Manager's fingerprint."

The Bank Manager gave a bitter smile and held up his right thumb, "I certainly didn't help him open the door."

"It's good that the items are still there."

Qiu Xiaoyan let out a slow sigh of relief.

No matter what, she did not want her grandfather's mementos to fall into someone else's hands.

The Bank Manager looked helplessly at Lin Xiao, "It's not that I don't want to open the safe this time, there's really no way... But you don't need to worry. I can apply to my superiors, and after they approve it, we can have someone from the head office come to open the lock."

"That's unnecessary."

Lin Xiao glanced at Qiu Xiaoyan's hair and reached out, saying, "Lend me your hair clip."

Qiu Xiaoyan didn't know what Lin Xiao was going to do, but she still took a hair clip off her head.

After slightly bending the hair clip, Lin Xiao walked up to the front of the safe.

"It's this one, right?"

"Uh, yes."

An incredible thought arose in the Bank Manager's mind.

Could this guy actually be trying to pick the lock with a hair clip?

You have to understand, this isn't some ordinary lock from the outside; this is a bank safe lock!

Its security level is extremely high!

Forget about using a hair clip; even professional locksmiths using professional tools would find it nearly impossible to open!

Even using brute force would make it very hard to break open.

If he actually managed to open it with a hair clip, wouldn't that be chaotic?

The Bank Manager raised his hand to stop him, but saw that Lin Xiao had already inserted one end of the hair clip into the keyhole.

"Wait a moment, this will trigger the alarm..."

He warned anxiously.

But unexpectedly, the alarm did not sound.

How is this possible?

There was no notice of maintenance for the security system today; could the alarm be broken?

He immediately went to the computer to check.

Everything was normal!

In other words, the alarm wasn't broken; it was that Lin Xiao's series of actions hadn't triggered the alarm at all!

The Bank Manager didn't know what to say anymore.

Everything that happened today exceeded his previous understanding.

He hesitated about whether to report such an absurd matter to his superiors.

But before he could make a decision, he heard a "click" from the direction of the safe.

He saw Lin Xiao turn his head and say with a smile, "Alright, it's your turn to input the fingerprint!"

"..."

The Bank Manager looked at the prompt on the safe.

The mechanical lock is open; now the biological lock needs to be input.

Which meant his fingerprint.

How is this possible?

He roared in his heart once again.

Seeing him standing there motionless, Lin Xiao simply stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and pressed his right thumb onto it.

"Beep—"

The door of the safe slowly opened!

Inside the safe, there weren't many things, just an envelope and a small box.

Lin Xiao took them all out and handed them to Mrs. Qiu.

The mother and daughter couldn't wait to open the envelope.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, their eyes turned red.

The content of the letter was long, but Lin Xiao was not in a hurry and silently sat to the side.

He gently patted the Bank Manager's shoulder, signaling that there was nothing left for him to do here.

The Bank Manager felt his head spinning.

It was awkward to leave, and awkward to stay.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave silently and wait outside.

Looking at the contents of the letter, the mother and daughter couldn't help but cry.

"Mom, I didn't expect Grandpa to have put the family seal here. They seemed to have been looking for it for a long time before..."

Qiu Xiaoyan said with a sob.

Mrs. Qiu pursed her lips and nodded silently.

The family seal was a very important item for their family.

Before, when her father passed away, there was turmoil in the family.

Almost everyone was searching for the whereabouts of this seal, but no matter how they looked, they couldn't find it.

She still remembered that when her father passed away, he had been holding her hand the whole time.

It was a pity that at that time her father was already critically ill and couldn't say a single word.

Now that she thought about it, her father must have wanted to give her the key.

Fortunately, after experiencing so many hardships, she had finally found the seal.

Lin Xiao rested his forehead on one hand, happy that he had solved another problem using his Superpower.

But at this moment, the system's voice rang out in his mind at an inappropriate time.

[Host, you need to pay the points for unlocking here!]

"..."

What a mood-killer!

Isn't it just asking the system to help open a lock?

It actually wants points?

Why doesn't the system just go rob someone!

[Host, are you there? Please pay!]

"No, are you a miser? Can't such a small matter be counted as a complimentary service?"

Lin Xiao really couldn't hold back and complained in his mind.

[Cough, Host, you finished showing off, don't you want to take responsibility?]

"..."

Lin Xiao still wanted to retort.

However, before he could speak, he saw the notification that points had been deducted.

"So expensive?"

Lin Xiao regretted it.

He really regretted it.

Originally, because of the bank's improper operation, the key was lost, and the bank should take full responsibility and open the safe no matter what.

Isn't it just waiting a few more days?

It wouldn't have any impact.

Why was he in such a rush to show off!

...

When they left the bank, the three of them were not in high spirits.

Qiu Xiaoyan took two quick steps to come to Lin Xiao's side and whispered, "Hubby, after seeing Grandpa's mementos, my mom is in a bad mood. I'll go back to accompany her for a few days."

"Hmm, okay."

Lin Xiao was still immersed in the unhappiness of having his points deducted.

Being interrupted by Qiu Xiaoyan like this, he finally came back to his senses.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Wait, Yang Yong seems to still be at the police station!"

He had promised to wait for him to go back to school together...
