44: Chapter 44 Not only did his father die, but he was also taken away for investigation.

When Luo Wei and Lin Wantang went downstairs to leave...

...the pleasant notification sound of the system rang in his ears.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point]

He had obtained another intelligence point.

Luo Wei knew that this was an intelligence point gained from grasping intelligence related to Lin Wantang!

Currently, he had a total of 10 intelligence points in his hand, and his hands were itching again.

He planned to continue buying Blind Boxes when he had time!

They walked downstairs, got into the car, and sat down.

Lin Wantang remained in a state of being dumbstruck.

This melon-seeded-faced beauty felt like she was dreaming.

No matter what, she never expected that Luo Wei would actually help her get the money back!

Moreover, Luo Wei had done it with such ease, not only helping her get back the principal but also demanding a large sum of compensation!

At this moment, Lin Wantang's phone was emitting all sorts of notification sounds.

Luo Wei leaned over to take a look and saw various deduction messages.

Those online lenders discovered that there was money in her account.

They immediately transferred the corresponding amounts!

Soon, the two million that had just arrived in the account became 1.5 million!

The online loans were completely paid off, and the heavy stone weighing on Lin Wantang also disappeared!

She felt incredibly light all over, and she looked at Luo Wei gratefully. "Um, thank you..."

"Give me your account number, and I'll transfer 500,000 to you as a reward."

Lin Wantang was naturally a person who knew how to repay kindness.

If it weren't for Luo Wei's help, she wouldn't have gotten a single cent back.

Now, giving Luo Wei 500,000 was absolutely the right thing to do!

"No need!" Luo Wei refused cleanly. "I've already received the reward that belongs to me!"

Lin Wantang's face was full of doubt, completely not understanding what Luo Wei meant.

Because of Lin Wantang, Luo Wei had obtained the white jade porcelain bottle!

That thing could generate spirit liquid, which was a priceless treasure!

Also because of Lin Wantang, he was able to happen upon the chance to empty out the huge sum of money hidden by Xie Simin's father!

By handling Lin Wantang's matter, he had even harvested a precious intelligence point!

In short, Luo Wei's harvest this time exceeded Lin Wantang's imagination!

Since Luo Wei wouldn't take the money, Lin Wantang didn't force it.

She planned to use other ways to compensate Luo Wei later.

"By the way..." she spoke up sheepishly, asking the question that had been bothering her.

"Are you really my classmate? What exactly is your name?"

"Hehe..." Luo Wei thought this girl was quite silly.

She actually hadn't figured this out yet.

"Alright, it's time to reveal the answer!"

"I'm not your classmate." Luo Wei laid his cards on the table.

"The reason I said that last night was entirely to get close to you and make you lower your guard!"

Upon learning this, Lin Wantang suddenly understood; no wonder she couldn't remember having such a classmate for the life of her.

She was just about to say something when Luo Wei added, "However, the part about me having a crush on you is true!"

Hearing these words, Lin Wantang's face instantly turned red, and her whole person was at a loss.

However, she boldly nodded. "I... I'm willing..."

Even though she still didn't know the name of the person in front of her.

But this person had saved her life and helped her recover her money; he was a very good person!

"...We... we can try dating..." She said this softly like a mosquito's buzz, her face as red as the sunset clouds.

"What are you willing to do, and what are we trying?" Luo Wei deliberately played dumb. "You wouldn't think I was confessing just now, would you? Sorry, I have no plans to date!"

"..." Lin Wantang raised her head, her eyes full of disbelief. She had already agreed, yet he actually refused!

Seeing Luo Wei's grinning face, she blushed and wanted to give him a punch.

The next second, Luo Wei put away the smile on his face and turned his head to look in a certain direction.

Lin Wantang didn't follow Luo Wei's gaze; she was completely attracted by Luo Wei's handsome and dashing side profile.

This guy was really too handsome, with the temperament of a noble young master and a bit of a rogue feel.

Although she had just been rejected, Lin Wantang knew that this person had already been planted in her heart.

She couldn't help but boldly lean forward, wanting to kiss Luo Wei's cheek as a thank you.

Unexpectedly, Luo Wei suddenly turned his head back.

Well, the kiss on the cheek turned into lip-to-lip.

Lin Wantang hurriedly returned to her seat as if she'd been electrocuted, shrinking her head like a quail.

Luo Wei smiled and didn't say anything about it, but instead reminded her, "Look, Xie Simin's house is on fire!"

Lin Wantang raised her head in surprise and indeed saw thick smoke billowing from the floor where Xie Simin's family lived!

"Ah, this..." She felt incredibly flustered by this.

"How... how could this happen, this..."

"Don't worry!" Luo Wei patted her head. "This definitely has nothing to do with us!"

"Mm!" Lin Wantang nodded. She and Luo Wei hadn't set any fire; they had just gone to the door to collect a debt normally.

Even if the relevant departments investigated them, there would definitely be no problem.

Lin Wantang comforted herself in her heart.

Meanwhile, Luo Wei suspected that perhaps it was because Xie Simin's mother had been stuck with a bad luck talisman.

Therefore, the bad luck talisman had also caused some impact on Xie Simin's home.

From this, it could be seen that the range of the bad luck talisman's strike was still very wide!

Since there was a scene to watch, the two were in no hurry to leave.

At this time, Xie Simin, who had a round face, ran down from upstairs crying!

The people living in the residential building discovered the fire and also quickly evacuated from upstairs!

"Quickly call the fire department!"

"How did Teacher Zhang's house catch fire?"

"Xiao Min, don't cry. What exactly happened?"

"Teacher Zhang is really unlucky enough; she just had a fall not long ago, and now her house is actually on fire..."

"Xiao Min, where's your dad? I saw Section Chief Xie come back just now!"

"Section Chief Xie probably came back to get Teacher Zhang's documents; he should be at the hospital now..."

The neighbors gathered downstairs, talking all at once about the affairs of Xie Simin's family.

All the residents upstairs had been evacuated.

Everyone had also called the fire department.

But the firefighters couldn't appear immediately.

Everyone watched from a distance as the fire at Xie Simin's house grew larger and larger!

After ten minutes or so, the fire truck arrived, and the firefighters immediately began firefighting operations.

Xie Simin's home was located on the third floor; the floor was not high, so extinguishing the fire was very easy!

It didn't take long for the fire to be put out!

The firefighters entered the scene.

From the storage room, they found Father Xie, who had lost his vital signs.

According to preliminary deductions, Father Xie should have entered the storage room to escape the fire, leading to the tragedy!

Fortunately, besides him, there were no casualties in the entire building, and the fire did not affect the neighbors.

Seeing that Xie Simin's father had died and she was even taken away by relevant departments for investigation...

...Lin Wantang didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy in her heart.

Instead, she felt exceptionally refreshed!

If she hadn't met Luo Wei...

...she would have been killed by Xie Simin long ago!

She turned her head to look beside her, once again casting a grateful gaze at Luo Wei...
