"Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you later."
Gan Tu returned to the dormitory with a big smile on his face.
The others noticed Gan Tu’s good mood and all turned to look at him.
"What good news did you get to be so happy?"
"Isn’t it good news? I thought I’d be out of business for a few days after taking on a task here, but I didn’t expect to start today and even made a big profit!" Gan Tu said cheerfully.
Upon hearing this, Shui Yuanyu was taken aback, "Lin Xiaoyan asked you for hypnosis?"
Gan Tu sat on the bed, "It’s for hypnotizing Lin Xiaoyan, but the person who hired me wasn’t her."
"Xuan Shiyi?" Shui Yuanyu guessed.
"No, it was He Qi’an."
"Second Young Master He?" Shui Yuanyu’s expression turned complicated.
Hearing this, the others gathered around, "What’s the relationship between Lin Xiaoyan and Second Young Master He?"
Gan Tu glanced at them and lowered his gaze, "I don’t know."
Unable to get any useful information from Gan Tu, they turned away to mind their own business, though who knows what they were thinking inside.
Gan Tu tucked away his smile, coldly snorted in his heart as he looked at them.
Trying to pry information out of him, humph, he’s not that foolish!
Since gaining the superpower of hypnotism, he had been to various top families and learned to be a mute, blind, and deaf person.
Early the next morning, the sound of a horn blew, and this time Lin Xiaoyan heard it, showing signs of waking up, but she soon fell asleep again.
Today, she continued having sweet dreams.
But the male lead in her dream had changed!
In the dream, He Qi’an was wearing a gray casual outfit, carefully supporting Lin Xiaoyan, constantly speaking...
Lin Xiaoyan was full of joy, one hand held by He Qi’an, the other gently caressing her belly.
At this moment, her belly was bulging, nurturing a little life inside...
When Lu Lan woke her, Lin Xiaoyan awoke with a smile.
Upon seeing Lu Lan’s face clearly, she felt a sense of loss.
Unconsciously, she touched her belly, remembering how eagerly she looked forward to the child in her dream...
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan had an urge to get married and have children.
Oh no, it was the urge to have children, marriage... she’ll think about it more.
"Xiao Yan, how are you feeling?"
Lu Lan looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s dazed expression, a bit worried.
Lin Xiaoyan turned to Lu Lan and asked, "Sister Lan, do you think there’s a way to just have the child without the husband?"
Lu Lan: ???!!!
Lu Lan felt Lin Xiaoyan’s forehead, "Did Gan Tu make a mistake during hypnosis, why are you saying nonsense now!"
"How did Gan Tu get involved last night?"
Upon mentioning Gan Tu, Lin Xiaoyan recalled the scene before she closed her eyes last night.
She hadn’t contacted Gan Tu, so could it be... a command from the chief?
Lu Lan said nothing, pulling Lin Xiaoyan up, "The captain and others have already set off."
"!"
Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, "Set off?!"
"Yes, they left before the horn sounded."
Lu Lan felt a slight regret for not being able to participate in the mission this time.
"So why wasn’t I called?" Lin Xiaoyan asked anxiously, wasn’t she supposed to go with them?
Lu Lan held Lin Xiaoyan back and said, "Last night, the chief said you didn’t need to go anymore since you’ve already told everyone’s future.
Moreover, the timing of this mission is tight, and they decided to wrap it up quickly, so you just need to rest here."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan’s expression relaxed, but she seemed a bit worried again.
"Don’t worry, with your foresight, I’m sure they’ll return safely this time!" Lu Lan noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s concern and comforted her.
Lin Xiaoyan nodded, hopefully.
When they arrived at the canteen, they saw Xuan Shiyi, Xuan Wu, and Daoist An already seated and eating.
"Xiao Yan is here, come quickly, I have good news for you!"
Lin Xiaoyan walked toward Xuan Shiyi, "Where’s Xuan Liu?"
"Xuan Liu went on a mission."
"Aren’t you going?" Lin Xiaoyan asked as she looked at the three of them.
"Our task here is done, Xuan Liu can control small animals, so he went along."
Xuan Shiyi explained, "Oh, and those superpower users went too, now it’s just you and the three of us left at the base!"
"I’ve got some good news for you, we’re going out for a stroll later, do you want to come?"
Hearing they were going out, Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up, "Yes!"
After being tense for several days, she was eager to relax outside.
Upon hearing that the members of the Special Investigation Bureau were going out, the base immediately arranged for a dedicated driver to take them for a spin.
Lu Lan stayed by Lin Xiaoyan’s side for protection.
Until the mission is complete, she is tasked with protecting Lin Xiaoyan.
Before setting off, Lin Xiaoyan took motion sickness pills in advance, fearing a repeat of what happened when she came.
Motion sickness is too unbearable!
"Where are we going?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at the lush mountains outside, having not appreciated the scenery when she was too focused on feeling unwell from motion sickness.
The distant peaks vary in height, undulating and endless, with misty clouds at the mountaintops, making them look like a pathway to heaven.
Seeing this beautiful scenery lifted Lin Xiaoyan’s mood.
Xuan Shiyi sat in the passenger seat and asked the nearby soldier.
"Is there a scenic spot around here?"
Xiao Bo, the driver, thought for a moment and shook his head.
"There are too many mountains here, and since the base is here, no scenic spots have been developed.
But there are many villages nestled in these mountains."
"Villages?"
Lin Xiaoyan looked at the undulating mountains, "Then how do those people travel? How do the children attend school?"
Xiao Bo: "Most of the young people in the villages have gone out to work, and the ones left behind are mostly the elderly and children.
As for the children’s schooling, I heard that in recent years someone has done some charity work to build schools here..."
"Hope School?" Lin Xiaoyan asked.
"No, it was privately funded."
"That person is benevolent, establishing a school in such a place, allowing children in remote areas to go to school, they’ll surely have good karma in the future."
Daoist An commented in admiration.
Xuan Er and Xuan Wu remained silent all along.
Xuan Shiyi snorted coldly at this.
"I’ve never seen a purely benevolent person."
Daoist An: ...
"Truly benevolent people are rare, but in this world, who dares to say they don’t have any karmic debts..."
Seeing Daoist An was about to start rambling about philosophy, Xuan Shiyi quickly cut in, "Let’s go to the nearby school and see how that benevolent person’s school is."
Xiao Bo: "Alright."
Daoist An wanted to debate Xuan Shiyi, but Xuan Shiyi wouldn’t catch his bait, so he had to hold back and stop talking.
The journey was quiet in the car, no one spoke.
After about an hour, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly saw a high red flag on the mountain opposite them.
She pointed over there, delighted, "Is that the school?"
Everyone in the car looked and saw that hint of red.
