NOVEL WEB Chapter 462: Found Gold
"Fine," Having made up his mind, Lei Qian said to Bai Meiyue, "Live wherever you want; I will work hard to make sure that you and our child remain safe wherever you two live." As he spoke, he glanced at the manor and looked at the nameplate that was covered in blood; he thought for a while and then said to her, "I know this man. He was a famous politician before the end of the world. However, he was caught in corruption and taken away. If I am not wrong. He once moved an entire vault of gold to his home."
Bai Meiyue was surprised when she heard Lei Qian's words. She turned to look at the man beside her and questioned, "How do you know that?"
"I have my own connections." Lei Qian glanced at her and smiled. "There were a few things that couldn't be disclosed before the end of the world, but now that the situation is like this, I don't think that you need to worry about anything."
Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes. She was not impressed by the words that Lei Qian was saying to impress her. But her son was another story. The second he heard his father speak so confidently, he started kicking Bai Meiyue.
Feeling the kicks of her son, Bai Meiyue stayed quiet. She didn't tell Lei Qian because she was worried that the man would make a fuss once again.
Lei Qian pushed open the door, and just as soon as the door was pushed open, it creaked, which attracted the attention of the zombies. The monsters let out a roar and then charged right at Lei Qian, who swung a fireball at them. The path cleared up almost immediately as the zombies were charred to ashes.
As the zombies were cleared up, Bai Meiyue walked over to where Lei Qian was standing. She said to him, "How come the army doesn't know anything about this vault of gold?" If there was gold, then shouldn't the army move it first?
Lei Qian giggled. He said, "How can those idiots know? They might look down on businessmen, as they think that we are only good for making money, but the truth is that they rely on the businessmen for a lot of things. From the donation to many other things. This information is something that I got after I met with the old politician."
"The man was heavily drunk when he told me the information. He also added some little bits and pieces, which were enough to send him to a cell in prison."
What else did Bai Meiyue need to know? The reason the politician ended up in the cell of the prison was most likely due to Lei Qian. She arched a brow and then said to Lei Qian, "Did that man offend you?"
"He offended you, too, now that we are talking about it," said Lei Qian with a glaring expression.
Offended her too? Bai Meiyue frowned.
"He is the one who asked you to serve him in the award ceremony," Lei Qian reminded her when he saw that the woman didn't recall the name of the politician who had once treated her like an escort. She might have forgotten him, but Lei Qian could never forget him. That man had tried to touch her on the waist, and in response, Bai Meiyue had slapped the man on the face.
Only for him to announce that he wanted to block Bai Meiyue from the entertainment industry. If not for Lei Qian reaching him first, then Bai Meiyue would have been ruined by that man, and with the kind of person Bai Qingshi was, he wouldn't have thought twice before sending Bai Meiyue to the bed of that man.
It was through sheer luck that Lei Qian got his hands on the information that sent the man to the cell in the prison, or else the one who had been ruined would have been Bai Meiyue.
When Bai Meiyue heard his words, her eyes widened in surprise. Of course, she didn't recall what happened with the politician, but now that Lei Qian had brought up the matter, she did remember something like this happening to her in the past.
Since she had lived for two lifetimes, she had forgotten a small incident like this. But now that she had slowly started recalling that incident, Bai Meiyue remembered that she was quite young back then, and when she was done slapping the man, she thought that her life was done.
She knew her father too well. Back then, Bai Meiyue was quite worried that she was going to be sent to apologise to the old man, but a few days later, she heard the news of the politician getting arrested. Back then, she thought that it was her good luck. Who would have thought that this silly man was protecting her silently and never told her anything?
"You are really stupid," Bai Meiyue muttered while walking next to Lei Qian, who simply smiled at her.
The two of them walked to the mansion, where they heard more zombies roaring. With Bai Jixuan and Bai Zhan used to taking care of the zombies, they didn't hold back as they cleared up the zombies one by one with Lei Qian protecting Bai Meiyue.
As they entered the mansion, Bai Meiyue stepped inside and allowed Ciyi to hop out of the bag that she was carrying and started sniffing around the floor, which was covered with dust and blood.
There were a few human bones that were scattered on the floor. However, Ciyi didn't even look at them; she continued sniffing the floor before letting out a bark.
As soon as she barked, Bai Meiyue heard the sound of the notification ringing in her head.
[10,000 bars of gold detected. Would you like to exchange with the system?]
Bai Meiyue's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph when she heard the notification. Ten thousand bars of gold? Then doesn't it mean that she would get one hundred thousand points from the system?
