Chapter 25[Lu Sisi's Experience Pack]
Inside the room, President Fang sat on the hospital bed. Only after Chen Yan left did the expression on his face gradually reveal a vicious look.
A few minutes later, President Fang's face was filled with anger. He grabbed a glass on the bedside table and violently smashed it onto the floor!
"You damn scoundrel, you've made at least two hundred from me over these years!
And now you're trying to trick me!?"
If he dared to invest in haunted houses, Fang wasn't exactly a saint himself!
Composing himself, President Fang picked up his phone, regulating his breath before dialing a number.
"Xiaoyan, is there anyone else around? I need you to do something for me.
Discreetly find out what Uncle Qing has been up to recently...
Then, find a few new faces to help me out with something!"
President Fang wasn't so easily convinced by Chen Yan. However, once Chen Yan mentioned the "Sandalwood", he suddenly understood many connections.
He had visited Elder Zi last month, but since Elder Zi wasn't home, he was received by Elder Zi's senior brother, Uncle Qing.
It was during their chat that Uncle Qing, upon learning about his fondness for burning incense, gifted him a tube of so-called top-grade incense from their Luoyun House, made of precious materials.
Ever since he received that sandalwood, every now and then he would light one or two sticks. It seemed... that all the bad luck started from then!
Then he recalled that during his spiraling misfortune, Uncle Qing had tricked him into believing that some evil was haunting his villa, and swindled him into paying for a ritual...
Damn it, each piece fit perfectly into the puzzle!
Chen Yan exited the hospital's inpatient building and started walking toward the hospital entrance, mentally calculating his earnings.
The waived rent and property management fees weren't cash but saved future expenses.
As for cash, he had received a total of three hundred thousand from President Fang over the past couple of days.
Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh...
No wonder the old lady managed to accumulate so much wealth.
The gold, jade, and jewelry in the Port City vaults.
He wouldn't have known unless he tried it, but the old lady's line of work definitely brought in quick money.
Having helped President Fang, Chen Yan consciously felt the state of his Primordial Qi...
No significant increase, hmm.
Wasn't helping others to turn their luck and break tribulations supposed to increase my cultivation?
The previous two times, it worked, so why no reaction with President Fang?
Is it only that girl named Lu Sisi who can serve as an experience pack?
Such a rare experience pack, helping once boosts cultivation by a chunk.
Such a good thing, how can I miss it?
Hmm, I'm not purely trying to exploit her to increase my cultivation.
Mr. Chen the Benefactor is genuinely trying to save a life.
A few days have passed. With her perpetual bad luck, I wonder if she had run into any troubles again.
Thinking about it, he picked up his phone and searched for a particular number in his contacts—the one he had saved after taking the little girl's phone number home that day.
He dialed the number saved as [Experience Pack]...
The call connected, and Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle at the waiting tune.
Such a quirky girl, using a melodious Buddhist chanting as her call waiting tune?
While pondering, the call was picked up.
"Hello? Hello?" The soft and timid voice of the little girl, Lu Sisi, came through.
She always talks , like a scared rabbit.
Chen Yan cleared his throat: "Hello, is this Lu Sisi?"
Chen Yan was about to say something but then noticed something off.
Why does this voice sound stereo?
With a sudden thought, Chen Yan looked ahead and indeed saw a familiar figure about twenty paces away near the hospital gate.
Small in stature, not very tall, wearing a light yellow down jacket with a ponytail and a backpack.
Looking every bit like an unstoppable, vibrant student.
Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh.
The weather was quite cold, her cheeks were flushed red, holding the phone to her ear, she kept saying, "Hello? Hello? Where are you? Speak up, hello?"
Watching this, Chen Yan hung up his phone and shouted loudly towards her side.
Lu Sisi seemed stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan put on a friendly smile and walked briskly towards her, shouting, "Lu Sisi, it's me!! I was just looking for you, didn't expect to see you here...
But Lu Sisi had already turned and ran off over ten paces!
Chen Yan quickly chased after her, stuffing his phone into his pocket and shouting, "Lu Sisi, it's me!! Me!! I'm not a bad guy! Wait a minute!"
Lu Sisi's face turned pale, and instead of stopping, she ran even faster at his words.
It's because you're the bad guy!
If it wasn't you, I wouldn't be running!!
The two of them, one running, one chasing, sprinted out of the hospital gate by about dozens of meters—this private hospital was expensive and remote, and the entrance was usually deserted.
Chen Yan watched as Lu Sisi neared the street corner; the little girl was sprinting furiously, oblivious to the traffic at the junction.
