All day, Chen Shouyi stayed home, apart from accompanying his parents to the bank to take a look. They came back empty-handed.
Mother Chen filled every container in the house that could hold water with tap water.
Chen Shouyi didn't think there was any need for it. Even if the water supply were cut off completely, he could get water in the otherworld.
But he didn't try to talk her out of it. Instead, he helped fill the containers.
"There's still more than four million in the bank. I don't even know if we'll be able to withdraw it. If only I'd known, I wouldn't have left it in the bank." Mother Chen kept lamenting over it. Several times, she was so upset that tears rolled down her cheeks.
Their newly opened restaurant was rented, and they hadn't spent much on renovations. They'd planned to save that money until Chen Shouyi got married, then buy a small place for themselves and their daughter while giving him the larger home as his marital home. They'd never imagined something like this would happen.
"Don't worry. The bank's customer data is still there. Maybe things will become clearer after a while." Chen Shouyi didn't know whether they'd ever get the money back or if it had vanished for good. This was all he could say to comfort her.
"The country won't let something like this happen. Otherwise, society would fall into chaos," Chen Dawei added with a sigh. Then he asked Chen Shouyi, "How much money have you got in the bank?"
"A few hundred thousand, maybe?" Chen Shouyi could only give a low estimate.
In fact, he still had a full 2.5 million in his bank account.
At noon, no one in the family felt like cooking. They just grabbed some snacks
