39: Chapter 39 After rescuing Lin Wantang, I struck gold!
Lin Wantang lowered her head again.
She hunched her shoulders, her entire being sinking into panic.
Luo Wei naturally guessed what this oval-faced woman was thinking.
He explained with a smile, "I don't plan on taking out my own money to pay off your debts."
"So you don't need to worry about me making any unreasonable demands of you."
"Since Xie Simin swindled you out of your money, I will help you get it back!"
Hearing this, Lin Wantang looked up in pleasant surprise.
But soon, her eyes dimmed.
She continued to recount certain things.
"Back then, once I realized I had been scammed, I called the police immediately."
"But..." Lin Wantang shook her head helplessly, "Xie Simin insisted that the white jade porcelain bottle was sold to me!"
"Since we didn't sign any loan agreements or anything of the sort, Law enforcement personnel had no way to help me recover the money."
Luo Wei chuckled, "Since we can't go through legal channels, we'll use other means!"
Lin Wantang was curious about what means Luo Wei intended to use.
Luo Wei didn't explain; after all, he hadn't thought of a way yet.
However, he was determined to help Lin Wantang with this matter!
Although he had stopped Lin Wantang from taking her own life,
the intelligence point had yet to be credited.
He figured the intelligence point would only be credited once he resolved this issue for Lin Wantang!
Not long ago, the Blind Box he bought using intelligence point had yielded the heaven-defying Eye of Thoroughness!
In short, intelligence point is a good thing; he wouldn't miss any opportunity to earn intelligence point!
"Alright!" Luo Wei stood up. "It's getting late, let's add each other as friends."
"We'll meet up again tomorrow. I'll definitely be able to help you get your money back!"
Luo Wei spoke solemnly, full of confidence.
Lin Wantang, on the other hand, didn't have much confidence.
But she didn't disagree.
After adding her as a friend, Luo Wei stared straight at the oval-faced woman.
"After we part ways in a bit, you won't go back onto the Honghai Bridge, will you?"
"..." Lin Wantang looked embarrassed and hurriedly shook her head.
"That's good!" Luo Wei turned and left.
Unexpectedly, a hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"What is it?" Luo Wei saw it was Lin Wantang holding him. "Do you want me to stay and spend the night with you?"
"..." Lin Wantang blushed and shook her head frantically. "I... I still can't remember what your name is..."
"Fine!" Luo Wei said with a straight face. "After all that time I spent chatting with you, and after all those years I spent crushing on you, you actually forgot me completely!"
Lin Wantang lowered her head awkwardly. She started thinking back from her kindergarten classmates, but she still had no impression of Luo Wei's handsome face.
Luo Wei didn't explain his name; after all, his cover would be blown if he did!
"Think about it slowly. I'll see when you finally remember!"
"Let's go. It's safer if I drop you off!"
Without letting her argue, Luo Wei pulled Lin Wantang out of the cafe.
After getting in the car, Lin Wantang gave her address, then secretly observed Luo Wei's profile.
At the same time, she took out her phone and searched through various classmate groups, trying to figure out Luo Wei's identity.
Following the address Lin Wantang provided, Luo Wei drove to the vicinity of the University Town.
Lin Wantang muttered sheepishly, "I... I live right around here..."
Seeing that, Luo Wei parked the car by the side of the road.
Lin Wantang hurriedly got out and waved with a blush.
She still hadn't remembered whether Luo Wei was a high school or university classmate.
Luo Wei drove forward. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Lin Wantang enter a Milk Tea Shop named Evening Plum Lodge.
It seemed that because she couldn't afford the rent, she had been living in the shop for the past six months.
Speaking of which, there were as many Milk Tea Shops near the University Town as there were hairs on an ox; the competition was immense.
It would be a wonder if Lin Wantang's Milk Tea Shop business was any good!
After grumbling internally, Luo Wei headed straight for a certain five-star hotel.
It wasn't even 11 o'clock yet; his glamorous Female Superior, Shen Yanqiu, probably wasn't asleep.
Taking the elevator to the corresponding floor, Luo Wei activated the Eye of Thoroughness and looked around the rooms on both sides of the corridor.
Good grief, the situations inside most of the rooms were quite spectacular!
Soon, he arrived at the room where Shen Yanqiu was.
Through the wall, he saw the glamorous woman dressed in a silk nightgown, sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window reading a book.
Luo Wei took out his phone and sent her a message: "I'm at the door."
Upon seeing the message, the smile on Shen Yanqiu's face was like a flower instantly blooming.
She stood up quickly, walked over to open the door, and threw herself into Luo Wei's arms.
That night, in contrast to the joyful Luo Wei...
...Lin Wantang, lying in the Milk Tea Shop's warehouse, tossed and turned as usual, unable to fall asleep.
She had made a firm decision to end it all, but she hadn't expected to run into Luo Wei.
She didn't know if Luo Wei could actually help her.
Although she didn't dare to harbor much hope...
...her heart was filled with anticipation!
She really hoped Luo Wei could help her escape this crisis.
Otherwise, the only path left for her would really be to end it all!
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Luo Wei woke up early in the morning.
He gently pushed aside Shen Yanqiu in his arms and rolled out of bed.
Of course, he didn't wake up so early because he had an appointment with Lin Wantang.
The white jade porcelain bottle he took from Lin Wantang last night had naturally been placed in the system inventory.
Now, he clearly felt that the white jade porcelain bottle in the inventory had undergone some kind of change.
Taking the white jade porcelain bottle out of the inventory, it was noticeably heavier!
With a gentle shake, the sound of splashing water came from inside the bottle!
Luo Wei was exceptionally surprised by this!
This white jade porcelain bottle was indeed peculiar!
By placing it in the system inventory, it could actually generate some kind of liquid!
Holding the mouth of the bottle under his nose, Luo Wei didn't smell anything.
However, when he poured the liquid from the porcelain bottle into a cup...
...instantly, a rich fragrance lingered in the air!
That fragrance didn't smell like perfume.
It was more like a medicinal scent!
With one sniff, his whole body felt relaxed and refreshed!
He didn't know what this liquid did; it shouldn't be poisonous, right?
Luo Wei took out some liquid and applied it to the skin on the back of his hand.
After waiting a while, no discomfort like stinging occurred.
Moreover, the skin on the back of his hand seemed to have become whiter and a bit more delicate.
This thing shouldn't be toxic. Luo Wei cautiously took a sip.
A hint of sweetness entered his mouth and spread through his body, making him feel exceptionally comfortable from head to toe.
After waiting for quite a while, no discomfort appeared in his body, nor were there any signs of poisoning.
Luo Wei was one hundred percent certain that the liquid generated by the white jade porcelain bottle was definitely not poisonous!
He directly downed the liquid in the cup in one gulp!
As the liquid spread through his body, he clearly felt his physique gain a tiny bit of enhancement!
Even if it was just a tiny bit, in Luo Wei's eyes, it was quite remarkable!
After all, the white jade porcelain bottle could surely generate liquid continuously.
And if he continued to drink it, his physique would definitely become stronger and stronger!
He really hadn't expected to find such a treasure after saving Lin Wantang last night!
Could the liquid generated by this white jade porcelain bottle be considered a low-end version of the body strengthening fluid?
No. Luo Wei raised his hand and looked at the back of his hand where he had just applied the liquid.
The back of his hand had clearly become whiter and more tender; body strengthening fluid shouldn't have this kind of effect.
After thinking it over, Luo Wei decided to call the liquid generated by the white jade porcelain bottle spirit liquid!
