46: Chapter 46 I have no interest in money

After the news that Huang Lang and his gang of bandits had been captured and sentenced to death was broadcast, it greatly boosted the confidence of the Safe Zone citizens, especially those wealthy individuals and celebrities...

If they were to leave this Safe Zone to do business or perform in other Safe Zones, they would usually hire Cultivators to escort and protect them. However, in the entire Ninth Safe Zone, Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, especially those at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and above, were probably only available at the Justice Bureau and were not that easy to hire.

Therefore, the annihilation of Huang Lang's gang of bandits undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the wealthy and celebrities, and their plans to travel across Safe Zones were once again put back on the agenda.

A few days later, the bonus for completing the mission and capturing the bandits arrived.

Inside the office, Qin Xiaoxiao, with a smile on her face, moved bundles upon bundles of cash onto Su Fan's desk. The money was piled as high as a small hill.

"Deputy Section Chief Su, this is your bonus, a total of 700,000 yuan. Do you want to count it?"

"700,000? So much?"

Su Fan was pleasantly surprised; such a large bonus far exceeded his expectations.

Qin Xiaoxiao said with a smile in her eyes: "The capture of the bandits was the main part. The bounty for each of the two A-rank wanted criminals is 100,000 yuan, and the remaining 21 B-rank wanted criminals have a bounty of 30,000 yuan each. Just from capturing the bandits, we received a reward of 830,000 yuan. Plus, there was the 50,000 yuan reward for completing the repair work on the signal tower and power line tower, totaling 880,000 yuan."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The total bonus is 880,000 yuan. I took out 50,000 yuan to give 20,000 yuan each to Wang Hao and Chen Qian from the Ninth Security Section, and 10,000 yuan to their section chief. I also took out 80,000 yuan for Zhang Xin of the First Security Division, and another 50,000 yuan to organize a team dinner for our section in your name... The remaining 700,000 yuan is all yours. Do you think this distribution is satisfactory?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied!"

Su Fan didn't even lift his head, blurting it out directly.

A look of astonishment appeared on Qin Xiaoxiao's pretty face, then she smiled awkwardly: "You're right, you are quite short on money right now, so you should be given more. Besides, if it weren't for you this time, I might have died, and all the team members might not have escaped disaster. Since you're not satisfied, I'll personally give you another 300,000 yuan to make it a round 1,000,000. Are you satisfied now?"

Su Fan was stunned. It seemed she had misunderstood his meaning.

But was this little rich girl really that wealthy?

She offered to give him 300,000 yuan just like that?

Thinking of this, he stood up, took 100,000 yuan from the pile of cash, and shoved it into Qin Xiaoxiao's arms: "This 100,000 is yours, you deserve it! Don't refuse!"

The expression on Qin Xiaoxiao's face became complicated...

Su Fan took out another 100,000 yuan and pushed it in front of her: "This 100,000 is for the section dinner. 50,000 yuan isn't enough for sixty or seventy people. 150,000 should be enough..."

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes turned a bit red, and she lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you..."

"It's fine, it's fine," Su Fan waved his hand, sat back in his seat, and looked at her again: "By the way, can you stop calling me 'Deputy Section Chief Su' from now on?"

"We address each other by our titles when at work; that's the rule."

"Alright, Sister Qin Plant!"

"It's title, not plant!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly heard him call her "Sister," and she giggled, then a faint blush quietly appeared on her pretty face...

Just then, Su Fan seemed to suddenly remember something and took out another 10,000 yuan, handing it to Qin Xiaoxiao: "This is the money I borrowed from you last time. I originally wanted to ask you for a salary advance, but to my surprise, when the words reached my lips, they turned into borrowing money..."

"No wonder you blushed last time. I even thought... it was because you thought I was too pretty..."

Qin Xiaoxiao said softly, but she didn't take the 10,000 yuan.

Hearing her words, Su Fan was momentarily speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Admittedly, she was indeed very beautiful, with exquisite features, an upright posture, and a graceful figure, just like a long-legged royal sister who had walked out of an anime...

But...

He already had an unforgettable love in his heart, and furthermore, Ji Yao was coming to find him from beyond the vast, boundless heavens; it was impossible for him to harbor feelings for any other woman.

Just as he thought of this, suddenly, the phone in the office rang.

"Hello!"

Su Fan picked up the phone and answered, "May I ask who this is?"

"Is this the 13th Security Section of the Justice Bureau? I am Su Daqiang..."

"Su Daqiang?"

Su Fan looked up at Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao leaned closer and whispered to him: "... The richest man in our Safe Zone."

"Oh, hello Mr. Su, I am Su Fan, ID number 090943. May I ask what you need?"

"Nephew Su, it really is you! I didn't expect it to really be you!!"

On the other end of the line, the voice was very excited, so excited that he even coughed. After a while, he continued: "Nephew Su, I need to make a trip to the Third Safe Zone and would like to ask you to escort me. What do you think... name your price?"

"Mr. Su, I have official duties and do not take on private jobs."

"Nephew Su, I've already spoken to your bureau chief. Just name your price. Two million, how about that? If that's not enough, I can add a bit more for you, Nephew..."

"Mr. Su, I really have official duties..."

"Nephew, don't be like that. Three million!"

"Mr. Su, I have a case right now..."

"...Five million!"

When the other party shouted "Five million," Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes blinked. However, seeing Su Fan's troubled expression, she took the phone and said to Su Daqiang: "Hello, Mr. Su, I am Qin Xiaoxiao, Section Chief of the 13th Security Section, ID number 008755. I am Su Fan's direct supervisor. Thank you very much for your trust, but Su Fan really has a case on hand right now and cannot get away. I'm truly sorry, Mr. Su..."

Su Fan looked at Qin Xiaoxiao gratefully. Actually, he didn't have a case right now; he just simply didn't want to be someone's bodyguard. He hadn't expected Qin Xiaoxiao to help him cover his lie and get out of the situation.

"Sigh, alright then, I'll have to ask someone else..."

As soon as the phone hung up, Qin Xiaoxiao laughed and looked at Su Fan: "Oh my... you can get 5 million just by taking a job now! This kind of price is something we've never seen in our Ninth Safe Zone!"

Su Fan shrugged: "Aren't we public servants not allowed to take private jobs?"

"But he is the richest man, and he even spoke to the bureau chief. The bureau could completely turn this private job into an official duty. What are you afraid of?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's words seemed to suddenly wake Su Fan up.

Damn, that's 5 million!

He is in the Golden Core Realm. As long as he doesn't run into Nascent Soul monsters, can't he walk unhindered across the entire Great Xia?

But in the entire Great Xia, how many Nascent Soul monsters are there?

Would they be busy robbing a wealthy man?

That probability is extremely low.

Besides, it's not far from here to the Third Safe Zone, it would only take a few days...

Damn, the 5 million that was in his hands has flown away!

Su Fan gathered up the cash on his desk, put it into his backpack, looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, and said with a "serious" face: "Wealth is an external possession; I have no interest in money. We are public servants, we cannot bow and scrape just because he is the richest man..."

Seeing this scene, Qin Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.
