C199 Leaving Gracefully the Reward Was One Billion Yuan in Cash
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the random quest. You've obtained one billion dollars!"
The system notification chimed in.
Lin Dong had just received a staggering one billion dollars in cash.
He paused briefly, knowing that a reward was customary after completing a mission. Yet, the reality of receiving such a colossal cash prize was beyond his expectations.
Nonetheless, Lin Dong was overjoyed with the windfall.
He then continued on his way, eventually reaching the roadside outside the restaurant.
Hsu Ziyan caught up from behind.
She watched as Lin Dong gracefully opened the door of the Rolls Royce Cullinan and settled into the driver's seat.
She opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words.
Lin Dong rolled down the window, looked at Hsu Ziyan, and reassured her, "You don't need to worry about me. Just handle the Lin Family affairs and keep me updated."
With that, he started the car and drove off, the Rolls Royce Cullinan disappearing into the distance.
Hsu Ziyan finally allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief.
A woman with short hair approached her.
In a hushed tone, she asked, "Sister Ziyan, Old Dao and the others have been treated. What's our next move? Do we continue to gather information on Lin Dong?"
"No need. Pull back our people. Right now, our top priority is to investigate the children from the three branches of the Lin Family and determine who sent assassins after Mr. Lin Dong last night," Hsu Ziyan instructed.
She always maintained a demeanor of composure and grace before her subordinates.
The short-haired woman was taken aback by the order. Hsu Ziyan had always closely monitored Lin Dong's movements, and it was unexpected that she would call off the surveillance after just one encounter.
Lin Dong had dealt with Old Knife and two others, but Hsu Ziyan's reach extended beyond those three—there were more skilled individuals yet to reveal themselves. Moreover, Hsu Ziyan was not known to back down easily.
What had changed?
The short-haired woman was puzzled but knew better than to question further.
Despite Hsu Ziyan's outward elegance and poise, she was known to be decisively stern—a trait that had enabled her to wield control over a vast business empire and command a cadre of formidable subordinates.
Lin Dong was on his way to Jiangyang University when thoughts of his encounter with Hsu Ziyan in the room flashed vividly through his mind. Hsu Ziyan was not only beautiful but also had a very captivating figure, which made Lin Dong involuntarily think of her. He recalled her words and knew he could no longer stay at the villa. Although Hsu Ziyan would take care of the house, Lin Dong had no desire to live there for the time being. He decided to look for a new place to live. Pondering over this, he called out, "Siri." His iPhone promptly responded with a voice reply, "Yes."
"Help me call Han Qingxue," Lin Dong instructed.
The iPhone's virtual assistant began dialing Han Qingxue's number.
Meanwhile, Han Qingxue was busy with paperwork. Dressed in a sleek black business suit with her long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, she looked stunning. She had just noticed that Lin Dong's account had a sudden influx of one billion in cash, which left her astounded. She remembered her surprise when she first noticed a hundred million appear in Lin Dong's account. As she became aware of his substantial assets, she realized Lin Dong was no ordinary individual. Throughout their interactions, Lin Dong's personal account would periodically receive large sums of money, sometimes a few hundred million, and today, astonishingly, ten billion! Lin Dong's cash reserves were now close to two billion, surpassing the valuation of many companies. Yet, all these funds were legally acquired!
Han Qingxue was baffled as to how Lin Dong, a mere student, could amass such wealth.
The phone rang insistently.
Han Qingxue glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered the phone. It was Lin Dong on the other end, but what could he want now?
