Magic Coin (Bonus Chapter 2 for Patron aspirincl)
Xiang Kun had already briefly checked Guo Tianxiang's phone the day he killed him. As a vampire for at least nine years, this guy's phone had all sorts of games taking up an entire screen. However, in the memories Xiang Kun obtained, there were almost none related to games, proving that this guy probably didn't care much when playing games, so he didn't have much of an impression of those memories.
The most important apps are naturally WeChat, QQ, Alipay, email, and some banking applications.
When Xiang Kun opened some of the financial apps, he could retrieve the corresponding screens from Guo Tianxiang's memory, such as entering the account and password, so logging in was not difficult.
Guo Tianxiang has many contacts and a lot of chat content on WeChat, but a quick glance reveals nothing of substance.
However, a few individuals are his clients who contact him for treatment or to make appointments for their family members.
Guo Tianxiang's replies were all very high-class, basically adopting an attitude of "take it or leave it" and "come or leave as you please," while also absolving himself of responsibility.
However, judging from the feedback of some of the patients who received the treatment, the effects seem to be quite good, and the earliest feedback was from five months ago. If there were side effects, five months should have been enough for the symptoms to develop. If it was just short-term hypnosis, the symptoms would have worsened after the effect wore off, indicating that there should have already been negative reactions.
Guo Tianxiang's "treatment" seems to actually have some merit.
Guo Tianxiang Bank of China card, and nearly 1 million yuan in total on several other cards. In addition, he had also invested a considerable amount in funds and stocks.
According to Guo Tianxiang's memory, he should also have some real estate and some assets under the name "Li Ting'an", which are estimated to be quite a lot in total.
Xiang Kun had naturally considered appropriating this wealth for himself. He had the password and the phone, so transferring some of his assets, especially cash, wouldn't be difficult. He could even find ways to launder the money, even if it was reduced in value. But after careful consideration, he felt the risks were too great and it wasn't worth the effort.
However, Xiang Kun was certain that, given Guo Tianxiang's personality, he must have prepared a safe house and some cash or other wealth that could be easily transferred or carried away when fleeing.
However, we haven't found any memories related to these things yet. Perhaps we need some surrounding context to provide "hints" and "references" before we can find them.
That money should be relatively safe; I can accept it with a smile.
Xiang Kun turned off his phone, removed the SIM card, and then returned to the national highway along the same route. He walked for half an hour before taking a ride away.
His first destination was not Yangcheng City, Guo Tianxiang had previously lived, but another place between him and Yangcheng City.
He didn't know exactly where it was or which city it was in yet; he only knew the direction. His distance estimation wasn't precise, so he needed to go there and search slowly.
Because this destination is where the one-yuan Coin he gave to the Little Chubby Girl Liu Shiling is located.
He didn't know if the Coin was still in Liu Shiling's possession, so he could only rely on his sense of touch with the Coin to track it down.
He was genuinely curious: what had caused the Coin's sensitivity to decrease? Could it really have been cut off by something?
After changing trains several times, Xiang Kun finally arrived in Star City, the city where the Coin was located, at noon on the 11th.
In his original plan, it was normal that the Coin was no longer in the Little Chubby Girl's hand, or that Shiling's Mother had accidentally spent it, or that it had been lost by mistake.
But seeing the kindergarten in front of him and guessing that the Coin should still be in the Little Chubby Girl's hand, Xiang Kun felt quite gratified.
Kindergarten isn't a place you can just walk into, and he had no excuse to see Liu Shiling. No matter what excuse he made, if the kindergarten teachers told Shiling's Mother afterwards, it would raise suspicion. After all, they hadn't told Xiang Kun where they were moving to, and logically, he shouldn't have known.
Outside the kindergarten, Xiang Kun relied on his senses to pinpoint the location of the Coin again, and also confirmed through smell and sound that the Coin was in Liu Shiling's hand.
Xiang Kun waited in a secluded spot until the afternoon, until the kindergarten let out and the parents came to pick them up. Only then did he take off his baseball cap and wig, put his black-rimmed glasses back on, slung his bag over his shoulder, take his phone, dial 10010, and pretend to be on the phone as he walked towards the kindergarten.
As Liu Shiling walked out of the kindergarten with her mother, she immediately spotted Xiang Kun across the street, seemingly engrossed in making a phone call. She tugged at her mother's hand and excitedly exclaimed, "It's Uncle Baldy!!"
Following her daughter's finger, Shiling's Mother saw Xiang Kun, whose features were quite distinctive. Her expression brightened with surprise, and she waved, saying, "Mr. Xiang!"
Xiang Kun, standing across the street, paused for a moment, looked up to find the source of the sound, and then his gaze locked onto Liu Shiling and her daughter. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he crossed the street, and he said into his phone, "That's it! I've decided! No more discussion! Bye!"
Approaching Liu Shiling and her daughter, Xiang Kun said with a look of surprise, "I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence! You actually moved to Star City."
Shiling's Mother smiled and said, "Yes, Liu Shiling saw you first. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Xiang either. Is Mr. Xiang here in Star City on a business trip?"
"Yes, I'm here to take care of something." He squatted down and said to Liu Shiling, "How's Little Bell doing at the new kindergarten?"
Liu Shiling nodded firmly. "Good girl!"
Shiling's Mother laughed and said, "She plays with that Lucky Coin you gave her every day now, saying she wants to master magic and be as powerful as Uncle Baldy."
Liu Shiling also took out the Coin she always carried with her and handed it to Xiang Kun, asking him to demonstrate how to flip the Coin with his fingers again.
Xiang Kun held the familiar Coin, skillfully flipping it between his fingers, then flicking it into the air before letting it fall onto the back of his hand. He smiled and said to Liu Shiling, "Guess which side it is?"
Liu Shiling blinked and shook her head, saying, "I didn't see clearly."
"..."
Xiang Kun flipped his hand over and saw two identical one-yuan Coin lying on the back of his hand.
"Little Bell, guess which one is the Lucky Coin that Uncle Baldy gave you?"
Without hesitation, Liu Shiling picked up one of the coins, choosing the exact one that Xiang Kun had given her before, while the other was a very ordinary Coin.
Xiang Kun was very curious. Had this girl developed some kind of connection with the Coin because she had been in contact with it for a long time, or was it simply because she was so familiar with it that she recognized it at a glance?
However, he didn't plan to stay there for too long, so he took out a folded A4 sheet of paper from his bag and said to the Little Chubby Girl, "Little Bell, this is also a magic paper."
