Chapter 12 I'm Here

"The investor Sister Wei mentioned is you?"

Mu Lingxue looked at the newcomer in surprise,

"Sister Weiwei, are you sure it's him?"

"It should be him."

Chen Wei looked at the man dressed in cheap clothes,

"What you said on the phone, was it true?"

Mu Lingxue was puzzled:

"What did he say?"

"To invest fifty million in your guild to help you get through the current difficulty."

"What!"

Mu Lingxue thought she might have misheard,

"Did you say fifty million?"

Although she didn't say it out loud, Mu Lingxue's expression said it all.

Someone wearing clothes worth barely a hundred bucks in total was saying he wanted to invest fifty million in their guild?

If not for Mu Lingxue's basic decorum, she would have shown him the door.

Seeing these two people's reactions, Lin Yi understood but also felt a bit helpless inside.

After all, given Lin Yi's appearance, he indeed didn't look like a rich person.

Not just that, Mu Lingxue even suspected she might be dealing with a scammer.

Lin Yi retorted:

"Do you think I'm joking?"

The reason Lin Yi showed up here was actually for a woman he had hurt in the past.

In his previous life, because he had coldly rejected her and said those heartless words,

it led her family to set her up with a blind date soon afterward.

And it was that man's appearance that led to the tragedy she later experienced.

Before his rebirth, Lin Yi, who was an orphan, never imagined that because of him, she would be hurt so badly.

It was precisely his retreat that eventually caused such a big mistake.

If there was one thing Lin Yi wanted to do after being reborn, it was to never let her suffer even the slightest bit of harm.

Lin Yi's words left Chen Wei and Mu Lingxue looking at each other in surprise.

At this moment, Lin Yi said:

"Actually, you can draft the contract agreement, and I'll transfer the funds to your account within three days. If I fail, you can report me to the police or sue me, whatever works."

"Additionally, I won't interfere with any of your guild's decisions. My only condition is that I can live here."

"Of course, I'll pay rent too."

At this, Mu Lingxue couldn't help but ask:

"Can I ask why you're doing this?"

That's fifty million!

And the condition is so strange, just to move into her house.

Is he up to something with her?

Thinking this, Mu Lingxue shivered,

"Can't you change the condition?"

"Are you worried that I might have ulterior motives?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh silently,

"Do you think with current technology, I'd be foolish enough to come to this upscale neighborhood in Binhai City to commit a crime?"

Just as Mu Lingxue was about to say something, Chen Wei spoke first:

"I can agree to let you stay, but we need to set some ground rules: Your activity area is limited to your room and the living room. If you overstep, we'll ask you to leave immediately, is that acceptable?"

Lin Yi:

"Of course, no problem."

The primary goal of Lin Yi coming here was just to be closer to her; honestly, he didn't even think of what they were worried about.

But thinking about how decisively he'd rejected her half a year ago made Lin Yi feel a bit nervous: She probably didn't want to see him more than anyone else right now.

Fortunately, Lin Yi could clearly sense that familiar aura, probably sleeping right now.

And it was because he synchronized the game attributes that all of Lin Yi's spiritual senses were greatly enhanced.

Moreover, Lin Yi also noticed that after inheriting the abilities and attributes of the game character, his personality seemed to have changed significantly as well.

"Wei, you..."

Mu Lingxue looked at Chen Wei in surprise. She couldn't believe that Chen Wei, who disliked men even more than she did, would agree to let him move in!

"Do you trust what he said?"

Chen Wei had a thoughtful expression,

"I trust my instincts. Besides, we really need this money right now."

"Okay then!"

Since Chen Wei had said so, Mu Lingxue didn't argue any further.

After all, given their years of relationship, Mu Lingxue had great faith in Chen Wei's intuition.

And another reason for Mu Lingxue's compromise was the constant rejections from investors, leaving her no choice but to sign a fifty million contract with Lin Yi holding a trial attitude.

Lin Yi, holding the newly signed contract, said:

"I'll transfer the fifty million to your account in the next two days."

Mu Lingxue nodded and then said:

"I won't let you lose out. Consider this fifty million as your investment in the guild; when the guild is profitable, I'll give you dividends based on the shares."

Lin Yi wasn't concerned about it,

"You can handle that yourself; I don't mind."

Mu Lingxue rolled her eyes at this.

Is this guy's family so rich that they don't know where to spend money? That's fifty million, not five thousand!

With that money, he could even buy the entire villa!

But no matter how much Mu Lingxue complained, she couldn't help but appreciate: If every investor was as easy-going as him, that would be a decision-maker's dream scenario.

After all, no decision-maker likes someone directing them from behind.

After handling the business, Mu Lingxue pointed to a room on the first floor and said to Lin Yi:

"This single room is yours. It comes with a bathroom and a balcony, and the furniture and appliances are all included."

"Considering you're an investor, I'll charge you five thousand a month, which includes property management fees and other miscellaneous costs, payable every six months. Is that okay?"

Lin Yi had no objections and directly paid thirty thousand rent.

Then Mu Lingxue showed Lin Yi the living room and kitchen,

"Apart from your room, only these two places are for you to use freely; all other areas are off-limits."

"If I find you crossing lines, I'm sorry, but even if you give me fifty million, I won't hesitate to kick you out; do you understand?"

Lin Yi shrugged nonchalantly,

"Understood."

"There's more!"

Mu Lingxue pointed to Zhang Xinying's tightly closed room and said:

"That room is where my best friend lives; do not disturb her, not even as a joke."

"Do not make loud noises."

"And do not bring anyone back, not even for a rest."

...

Lin Yi watched Mu Lingxue speak non-stop,

"Anything else?"

Mu Lingxue paused,

"That's it for now. I'll add more if I think of anything later."

Lin Yi shrugged with a helpless smile,

"I'm living alone; I won't trouble you, rest assured."

"You better not."

Seeing that everything was settled, thinking Zhang Xinying might be asleep.

Mu Lingxue went back upstairs with Chen Wei.

But when Mu Lingxue returned to her room, she couldn't help but wonder:

"How did he know I had a vacant room?"

...

Meanwhile, Lin Yi stood at his door, looking at that tightly closed door.

Even though there was a solid door between, Lin Yi could still sense the familiar presence behind it.

Listening to the steady breathing, Lin Yi suddenly smiled,

"Xinying, long time no see."
