After Waking Up, I Inherited a Bookstore 116

Chapter 116: Xiaoling

“Then it seems Mom gave him some guarantee, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just given up,” Liu Chuxia said, looking at Li Hanyan.

“Mhm, it seems so.”

With that, she opened the exquisite box.

Inside were six black cards, truly pure black cards, with nothing on them. The thickness was about the same as a bank card.

Li Hanyan took out the cards and then distributed them.

“The Fu family has quite a few establishments. They’re involved in all sorts of industries. For example, the well-known clothing brand, Sunshine, was founded by them.

There are also some entertainment venues, like tea houses, pool halls, mahjong parlors, internet cafes, and KTVs. They have a hand in all of them.

But their main business is still restaurants and hotels, which are almost all over Country A. I heard they’ve even expanded to the neighboring Country B.”

“Then he’s quite generous,” Liu Chuxia said, holding the black card.

“Indeed. The Fu family has so many businesses. Doesn’t that mean I don’t have to pay for some of the things I want to buy?” Jiang Jiajia said with delight.

Just as Liu Chuxia was about to speak, the phone on the table rang. Li Hanyan quickly picked it up.

After a glance, she answered, “Hello.”

“Sister Yan, we’ve found the person you mentioned. Are you coming over now or tomorrow?”

“We’ll be right over.”

“Okay.”

“What is it?” Liu Chuxia asked, looking at her after she hung up.

“Zhang Yan has found the person Xiaoling mentioned. Let’s take it and go now.”

“Okay.”

With that, the two of them went to get ready.

Hearing this, Jiang Jiajia also wanted to go, but was stopped by Li Hanyan. “You and Xiao Nian shouldn’t go. I want you to go to Yang Fenglan’s place and help us understand the basic situation. I’ll send her a message later. You can just go over directly.”

“Fine.”

After the group had packed up, they were ready to set off. Before leaving, Li Hanyan said to Xiao Xu, “If there’s an emergency mission at the bookstore, call us directly. We can go over directly. If we don’t have time, I’ll let you know.”

“Okay. You two be careful.”

“Mhm.”

With that, the group set off.

Jiang Jiajia first dropped them off at the Information Group’s building, then went to Yang Fenglan’s place.

Li Hanyan stood downstairs and called Zhang Yan, telling him to come down quickly.

There was no sunlight today. The sky was a bit overcast, and a cold wind was blowing. Even though Liu Chuxia was wearing a coat, she still felt a little cold.

“A Xia, are you cold?”

Li Hanyan looked at the overcast sky and felt that the temperature outside was a bit low today. She turned to look at Liu Chuxia and asked.

“Mhm, a little,” Liu Chuxia said, nodding.

Li Hanyan took off her own coat and draped it over her shoulders.

“You should wear it. It’s so cold today. Why are you giving me your coat?” Liu Chuxia said, about to take off the coat on her shoulders.

“I’m not cold. You wear it for now.”

Liu Chuxia looked at Li Hanyan, who was only wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt, and didn’t believe for a second that she wasn’t cold.

“Are you being stubborn again? Hurry up and put it on,” Liu Chuxia said, taking off the coat.

Just then, Zhang Yan also happened to come down. “Let’s go.”

Li Hanyan nodded nonchalantly, then forcefully draped the coat over Liu Chuxia’s shoulders and pulled her along behind him.

“I’m really not cold. If you don’t believe me, you can feel my hand,” Li Hanyan whispered in Liu Chuxia’s ear.

Liu Chuxia felt the somewhat scorching temperature of Li Hanyan’s hand and was no longer angry.

“You’d better not be playing any tricks,” Liu Chuxia said, glaring at her.

“What tricks can I play?” Li Hanyan said with a grin.

The two of them followed Zhang Yan to the underground parking lot.

After getting into the car, Zhang Yan drove towards the city center.

“We found that Zhang Yunyi and her mother are now living in the city center. The two of them were very excited when they heard about Xiaoling, but because we couldn’t say the full name, neither of them wanted to say much to our people.”

Zhang Yan briefly explained the situation while waiting at a red light.

“Mhm, that’s understandable. After all, they’re afraid you’re looking for trouble with Xiaoling. Since the person is already dead, they don’t want Xiaoling to be hurt anymore,” Liu Chuxia said.

Zhang Yan nodded in agreement.

After arriving in the city center, Zhang Yan dropped them off by the side of the street and then went to find a parking spot.

On their phones was the building information that Zhang Yan had just sent them.

Liu Chuxia and Li Hanyan didn’t plan to go up. They found a hotel nearby, which happened to be a Fu family property.

Liu Chuxia took out the black card.

The front desk’s attitude immediately changed from calm to fawning. Even the lobby manager was alerted.

“Distinguished guests, where would you like to stay?”

Liu Chuxia and Li Hanyan exchanged a glance and chose a presidential suite on the top floor.

The two of them were respectfully led to the room. “If you have any needs, you can call this number directly,” the manager said with a smile, handing over a white card.

With that, he closed the door.

Liu Chuxia looked at the white card. It only had a string of black numbers on it, nothing else. It was very thin, and she couldn’t tell what material it was made of.

“Let’s let Xiaoling out,” Li Hanyan said.

“Mhm.”

Liu Chuxia took the glass bottle out of her bag, opened it, and Xiaoling came out.

It was still a little weak and unsteady on its feet, so it just sat down on the sofa.

Seeing it like this, Liu Chuxia threw it a healing talisman.

Xiaoling immediately became spirited and also felt some of its strength return.

Then it thanked Liu Chuxia.

“There are binoculars. The person is in the leftmost household on the top floor opposite,” Li Hanyan said, pointing at the things on the table.

She had just sent a message to Zhang Yan, asking him to go to Zhang Yunyi’s house and find a way to open the curtains, and then find a way to have the person stand by the window.

Just now, Zhang Yan had sent a message back, saying it was done.

So now, all Xiaoling had to do was go and look.

Xiaoling walked to the window, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the household on the left.

She saw a young and beautiful woman and a slightly older woman chatting with a smile.

The familiar figure overlapped with the person in its memory.

In an instant, Xiaoling felt that it was all worth it. It had not died in vain. “Yunyi and Zhang Ma seem to be doing well. I can rest assured now.”

Xiaoling said, putting down the binoculars.

It wanted to cry, but it couldn’t. Ghosts have no tears.

Xiaoling turned to look at Li Hanyan and Liu Chuxia. “What do you want to ask? Just ask.”

“What we want to know most is what the ‘Master’ had you do.”

“She had me stay in that abandoned hospital for about half a year. The day you came, I was actually supposed to leave. But before you, there were a few blind things that destroyed the things I had placed in the hospital, so I killed them all.

But I don’t know how you found out. There was clearly no one around to report it. How did you Spirit Masters know? And you came so quickly.”

“She just had you stay in the hospital for half a year?” Liu Chuxia asked with a frown.

“No. As I just said, I placed something in the abandoned hospital. But I don’t know what it was.

It was a large box. The ‘Master’ just said that when I left, I should bury these things in the four directions: north, south, east, and west. And I had to bury them deep,” Xiaoling explained.
