5: Shen Mochi

"It really wasn't me, Sir, Madam! How could I possibly have such capability!"

Nanny Zhang explained in terror.

She never imagined such a thing would happen at home! Even more ridiculous, she had somehow become a thief!

Lin Zhiyuan thought of the missing documents, his heart filled with extreme anxiety!

So many valuables were lost, which was a heavy loss and painful enough, but compared to those, the company's top-secret documents were the most critical! And the share certificates...

He was frantic with worry, his eyes fierce. He stepped forward and kicked Nanny Zhang down, roaring:

"You're still making excuses! Only you and Lin Wan were home all morning, and the surveillance at the entrance shows Lin Wan left the villa empty-handed, only taking the car keys!"

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be!"

Throb after throb of pain came from the corner of Lin Xu's eye, making him feel utterly displeased.

First, his eye was nearly blinded by Lin Wan this morning, and then the house was mysteriously burgled. His three watches, worth millions, had vanished into thin air!

And the car in the garage! He had just bought it a few days ago!

Seeing his father's rage and knowing that something incredible must have been lost from the study, and hearing Lin Ran crying inconsolably, the fire in his heart burned fiercely. He felt that nothing was going right today.

He went up and gave Aunt Zhang several loud slaps.

"You're still being stubborn? I'm telling you, the police are already on their way. You can't escape. Speak! Where did you put the things you stole! Who are your accomplices!"

Aunt Zhang fell to the ground, her mouth full of blood. Clutching her fallen teeth, she trembled all over in fear.

"It really wasn't me, it wasn't me! Madam, you have to believe me! You know my background well! I really don't have that much capability!"

Aunt Zhang grabbed Xu Lan, who was standing aside and also glaring at her, and cried out in defense.

Xu Lan was also gnashing her teeth at this moment, wishing she could immediately drag out the thief, give her a sound thrashing, and get back the lost jewelry!

That was the result of her hard work over many years! It was the fallback she had kept for herself and her daughter! It was the vast majority of her assets.

Now, it had vanished into thin air!

But she had also checked the surveillance. Indeed, only Aunt Zhang was at home all morning.

And Nanny Zhang had gone upstairs halfway through. There was no surveillance upstairs. Perhaps she had called her accomplices then!

Lin Wan really hadn't taken anything when she left; she hadn't even taken a bag.

The only suspicious thing was that after she went to the garage, the power to the surveillance went out, and there was no recording.

However, although the surveillance in the underground garage was broken, the surrounding cameras clearly recorded her driving out. So, it definitely couldn't have been her!

She didn't really believe it was Nanny Zhang either; she didn't have the guts or the means.

But the surveillance was right there. Besides her, for the moment, no one else could be thought of.

"Nanny Zhang, if it really was you, as long as you return everything, I can speak up for you and not hold you accountable."

Aunt Zhang was unable to clear her name and could only keep saying it really wasn't her.

How could Lin Ran hold back any longer? At this moment, she desperately needed to vent.

She rushed forward, grabbed her hair, and started hitting her.

"You old bitch! Who else could it be but you! You've got quite an appetite, thinking you could get away with it unnoticed! Are you going to talk or not!"

Lin Ze watched with a cold face and chilling eyes. At this moment, how could they have the leisure to settle scores with Lin Wan.

Veins bulged on Lin Zhiyuan's forehead, his eyes sinister.

Just as Nanny Zhang was being beaten into a state of semi-consciousness, the sound of police sirens rang out outside.

...

When Lin Wan's plane landed, it was already past eight in the evening. She had slept for a full four hours, and now she felt full of energy.

It grew cold early this year. At this time, the sky over Japan was pitch black.

Lin Wan tightened her trench coat. After getting off the plane, she turned on her phone and saw a barrage of messages from the Lin family.

She only looked at the latest few.

Lin Ze: Where are you! Come back quickly, something happened at home!

Lin Xu: Return immediately, or else, bear the consequences!

Lin Zhiyuan: If you don't come back, don't ever come back!

She flipped through them roughly.

It was obvious that the messages went from cursing to frantic. By this time, they must have discovered that their things were missing.

The whole family must have been up all night.

It was truly refreshing! Pity she couldn't witness it in person.

Just as she was smiling with narrowed eyes, Lin Zhiyuan's call came through.

Lin Wan sneered and hung up immediately, her slender fingers tapping as she blacklisted them one by one.

Subsequently, she chose a hotel, checked in, and headed straight for her destination.

She arrived at an extremely secluded second-hand trading venue where transactions could be made 24 hours a day.

Back then, to pay for her mother's medical treatment, she had sold many things.

So she was quite familiar with these places.

Because there were too many items, Lin Wan sold them at several different trading posts.

Right now, cashing out was the priority.

Everything Lin Wan brought was high-quality, and coupled with five years of hard training in the Apocalypse, she was smooth-talking and socially adept. So, everything went very smoothly.

She wore a black mask and hat the whole time and disguised her figure, changing her appearance slightly every time she moved to a new location.

After selling the items, she also happened to buy two handguns that suited her perfectly, along with ammunition, of course. These were indispensable and precious weapons in the Apocalypse.

Such second-hand markets also saved a lot of formalities and trouble, which was perfect for Lin Wan.

In this way, she stayed busy until late at night. Except for those few cars, everything else that could be sold was sold.

Looking at the balance of over 80 million in her phone, plus her self-defense weapons, she was extremely satisfied.

She returned to the hotel first and entered her space to take stock.

Including the large amount of cash she took from the Lin family, she now had a total of over 90 million in hand.

It was enough to buy many things.

The Apocalypse a month later would start with a massive earthquake.

Then came continuous hail and torrential rain, as well as constant natural disasters and viruses.

After a long day, Lin Wan took out the leftovers from the barbecue she hadn't finished last time, added a bowl of steaming rice noodles, along with a cup of milk tea, and ate her fill.

Since she had come all this way, she naturally couldn't return empty-handed.

In her previous life, her impression of this day was quite deep.

At that time, she was also running a high fever and was forced by them to transfer the house.

The last shred of familial affection Lin Wan had for them completely shattered on this day.

And she remembered that after Lin Ran came back that day, she even brought the things Lin Zhiyuan had bought for her abroad to show off.

Filled with grievances and indignation, Lin Wan had a fierce argument with Lin Zhiyuan and was criticized and scolded by the father and his three sons in turn.

Xu Lan and her daughter added fuel to the fire on the side.

Being only in her early twenties and sick, she was extremely fragile at that time.

In despair, with a dizzy head, she stormed out, returned to Jinghua No. 1, and cried for a long time.

The next night, she drank a lot of alcohol. The night was silent, she was alone in the empty room, and with the lights off, she felt helpless and afraid.

She left the TV on all night and opened a short video app, turning up the volume and letting it autoplay.

This way, at least there was some sound, so she wouldn't be swallowed by despair and feel like she was the only person left in the world.

She drank until her stomach ached. When the pain reached its peak, a short video posted by a former classmate abroad left a deep impression on her.

A massive earthquake would occur in Japan tomorrow.

This was the largest earthquake in Japan's history, with heavy casualties, power outages, and network collapses.

So, tomorrow would be a great opportunity for some "zero-dollar shopping."

The years of hatred and entanglement between Japan and Huaxia were already deeply engraved in the soul of every child of Huaxia.

In her previous life, when the Apocalypse arrived and the global order collapsed, this tiny island nation was the first to take advantage of the crisis, rushing into Huaxia to loot, kill, release viruses, and steal many of Huaxia's important resources.

This time, with her space, she would see if she couldn't empty their warehouses! She would leave them unable to take care of themselves when the time came, without even the strength to loot!

Suddenly thinking of Shen Mo Chi again, Lin Wan picked up her phone, wanting to call him. But looking at the time, it was already the early hours of the morning. He had been busy all day and must be asleep.

In her previous life, this earthquake didn't affect Shen Mo Chi, so he should be safe tomorrow.

After hesitating for a long time, she looked at the string of numbers she had already memorized, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Just then, her phone rang.

Shen Mo Chi...

Seeing the caller ID on her phone, Lin Wan was stunned!

She frantically threw the phone onto the bed, but after a few seconds, she picked it up again and swiped to answer.

Her heart was thumping as if it were about to jump out.

Lin Wan gripped the phone tightly, not daring to breathe.

Until a magnetic voice came from the other side,

"Hello? Lin Wan, where are you?"

His voice was clean and pleasant, hitting her ears heavily, making her once again remember his voice just before she died, when he resolutely used his own system to trade for her life.

A strange sense of grievance welled up in her heart. She really hated this feeling of being kept in the dark and owing such an unpayable favor.

"Shen Mo Chi, I'm in Country R."

"Which hotel? I'll come find you."

Lin Wan said the name of the hotel, and then, the person on the other end only said two words before hanging up.

"Wait for me."

Clearly, the two had disliked each other before, yet the brief conversation just now felt like they had a very good relationship, familiar and intimate.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang, and Lin Wan's heart lifted once again.

Wearing her slippers, she went over and opened the door.
