Lin Xiaosu saw it.
The payment that had just come in.
Ten million!
Sender: Southern Group.
Lin Xiaosu smiled. "I did Southern Group a small favor."
"A one-time payment of ten million!" Miao Ruolan was thrilled. "Our income this year is truly terrifying. A few days ago, Unit 101 sent money too—more than before, ten million as well!"
A payment from Unit 101—ten million!
That truly was unprecedented.
Qianlong's highest mission reward was five million.
Five million was the cap.
This one-time reward of ten million was actually the capped reward for two missions.
One of them was Qianlong's internal purge. He had rooted out twenty-eight traitors in one stroke, including traitors who had infiltrated Qianlong's highest ranks. Nothing less than the maximum reward would do.
The other was finding an energy-source solution for the Wing Blade, allowing Qianlong to possess a super battle wing that could actually be put to use. That, too, warranted the maximum reward.
"Congratulations. You've become a multimillionaire rich lady." Lin Xiaosu picked Miao Ruolan up and spun her around.
Miao Ruolan lay against him and giggled. "It's all yours. I'm just managing it for you. When you marry a wife someday, I'll give it all to you."
"What if I marry you?"
"I wouldn't dare! I'm afraid Xiaoye will swing her little fists and beat me up..."
Naturally, that was a joke.
Over the following days, Lin Xiaosu seemed determined to be a qualified scumbag.
He shuttled back and forth between the county town and his hometown.
He spread his favor evenly over Miao Ruolan and Xiaoye.
Yet no one knew that the favor Miao Ruolan received was the real thing, while Xiaoye's was purely an excuse.
Lin Xiaosu was merely testing his formation.
Ten days, twenty days, more than twenty days...
