Sheng An was speechless. "Could you possibly let your imagination run any further?"
She looked ahead, interest in her eyes and a faint smile on her lips. "He isn't one, but unless I'm mistaken, he knows who that Metal-Type Ability User is."
Song Linwei actually knew who it was?!
Hao Jingye's breathing quickened. "Sister Sheng, aren't we going to question him further?!"
Sheng An shook her head. "He's smart. He never once chose to lie, because he knew he would be questioned, and he knew how to avoid showing signs of deception."
They were all interrogation experts.
If Song Linwei lied, they would definitely spot it.
So he hadn't lied at all. Instead, he had concealed things, leaving out the beginning and the end and telling them only what he wanted them to know. His story was perfectly consistent, with almost nothing suspicious about it.
Getting answers out of someone that clever was difficult.
They had ways to make him talk, but that would... do too much damage to their amicable relationship.
It wasn't the best option.
There was no hurry.
She had other methods.
Hao Jingye didn't press the issue. With a complicated look in his eyes, he asked, "Sister Sheng, how did you figure it out?"
He was an absolute genius.
Yet just now, he hadn't noticed, while Sister Sheng had.
She was incredible!
If he could learn that kind of skill...
Sheng An said, "Intuition."
Hao Jingye said, "..."
All right, he couldn't learn that.
Countdown: 19 days.
With the government stepping in, Li Wanyun's visa was sorted out in no time.
Hao Jingye met up with her.
Li Wanyun was astonished. "You got it done this quickly? I didn't even need an interview?!"
Hao Jingye gave her a meaningful smile. "I told you we have connections. Otherwise, how would we dare charge you 150,000?"
Charging that much just to arrange a visa was steep.
Li Wanyun remained half-convinced.
Hao Jingye took out a contract and said solemnly, "You're clearly a decisive person. If you're willing to spend 150,000 yuan on a visa, you must be quite wealthy. We're not worried about you skipping out on our brokerage fee, so you can choose to pay after you arrive in M Country."
That certainly showed considerable good faith.
Li Wanyun took the contract. Its contents were simple and clear, with no hidden clauses. It merely stated that she could choose to pay after arriving in M Country. If the visa failed to get her through departure and entry procedures, she wouldn't have to pay anything.
Of course, it also stipulated that she had to buy a plane ticket to M Country within half a month.
Everything was sensible and reasonable.
She read it over several times and confirmed-
This man really was reliable.
The contract was a guarantee meant to ease her worries, allowing her to "use first, pay later."
Li Wanyun said, "Your service is pretty good."
Hao Jingye adjusted his glasses, his manner friendly.
"Of course. Although our prices are high, we provide our customers with the best, most comprehensive service. That is our travel agency's guiding principle."
Li Wanyun signed the contract and took her copy.
His words gave her an idea.
Hao Jingye put away his copy as well and deliberately asked, "Dear customer, is there anything else you need?"
Li Wanyun lowered her voice. "Can you exchange money into M Currency?"
"Of course." Hao Jingye's smile remained unchanged, his manner thoroughly professional.
-This was all part of their plan.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Wanyun said, "It's a huge amount. Are you sure you can manage it?"
Hao Jingye said, "Absolutely. As long as the brokerage fee is paid, we can get anything done."
"Even five billion?"
Hao Jingye deliberately paused.
Then he drew an exaggerated sharp breath and raised his voice. "Five billion?!"
Li Wanyun's expression remained calm, her eyes flickering behind her sunglasses. "Yes, five billion. Can you exchange it? And it needs to be quick."
Hao Jingye appeared torn for a moment.
Then he gritted his teeth. "Yes, but the brokerage fee will be very expensive, and the exchange rate will be lower than the official rate."
Li Wanyun remained composed, but inwardly she let out a long sigh of relief.
Wonderful!
They could actually exchange it for her!
As for the exchange rate, she would have found it suspicious if he'd offered the official rate.
This only further confirmed her suspicions-
This "Xiao Ye" belonged to an unofficial but capable network.
Was she afraid?
How could someone planning to go abroad to the Black Market to buy firearms possibly be afraid?
If anything, confirming this made her trust their capabilities even more.
Going abroad and exchanging five billion in such a short time-how could anyone manage that through official channels without special privileges?
(Hao Jingye: ...Thanks, we're the ones with special privileges.)
Li Wanyun smiled. "No problem. How do we proceed?"
Hao Jingye took her to an official bank.
In less than three hours, the five billion, minus the brokerage fee, had all been exchanged into M Currency and was sitting safely in her account.
It was unbelievably fast.
-The Special Affairs Travel Agency was even more capable than she had imagined!
Li Wanyun was shocked, her expression slightly dazed.
She murmured, "Just what kind of backing does your travel agency have?"
Hao Jingye smiled faintly. "Our boss has connections higher up."
Li Wanyun suddenly understood.
Bewilderment and shock gave way to wild joy. Looking at the money sitting in her account, she lowered her voice.
"What about loans? How much money can you get me?"
After a pause, she added, "Don't worry about the brokerage fee."
Hao Jingye looked at her and lowered his voice as well. "Dear customer, we can arrange a loan matching however much money you have. But for such a large amount, the repayment period won't be very long."
Li Wanyun nearly laughed aloud.
The apocalypse would arrive in nineteen days. As long as the repayment deadline came after that, who could demand the money back?
She suppressed her smile and asked again.
"Can you really get me a five-billion loan? I have plans for the five billion I already have, so I can't use it as collateral."
Hao Jingye said, "That's fine. Someone with five billion clearly has ways to make money. We're not worried about your ability to repay it. As long as you accept the high interest and have something to offer as collateral, I can arrange the five billion for you."
Li Wanyun looked at him.
She hadn't missed the gleam that flashed through his eyes.
-She understood!
She had five billion, so "Xiao Ye" and the people behind him trusted her assets and her ability to make money.
They were offering her a "high-interest loan," hoping to keep their hands on this golden goose!
They might even be scheming to get her five billion.
Once she understood, being able to "borrow" five billion no longer seemed strange.
They probably wouldn't believe she would spend all ten billion so quickly, would they?
And as for the high-interest loan?
The apocalypse would arrive in nineteen days. Everything would be null and void then!
Li Wanyun smiled. "Then let's do it."
Hao Jingye let a barely perceptible smile show.
Sister Sheng had been right.
Although their plan still had plenty of holes, Li Wanyun, who had survived the apocalypse and been reborn, wasn't someone who considered gains and losses from other people's perspectives.
She preferred to consider them from her own perspective.
That meant that as long as something benefited her and satisfied her "demands," she would rationalize everything to achieve the outcome favorable to her as quickly as possible.
Three hours later.
She put up her property as collateral and "borrowed" five billion from an official bank.
What was more, Xiao Ye exchanged all of it into M Currency for her, leaving it sitting quietly in her overseas account.
Of course, she had also mortgaged her only property-the villa she had renovated into a fortress.
She had spent a considerable amount on that villa.
But it was worth nowhere near two hundred million, so she wasn't losing out.
Besides, once the apocalypse came, everything would be null and void. It would still be her house.
Li Wanyun had that confidence, and the strength to back it up.
Looking at her balance, she murmured, "You really are capable. You can actually get anything done, and five billion arrived in my account this quickly..."
Hao Jingye smiled faintly. "As long as you pay, we can do anything."
He added, "Of course, we only provide this service to premium clients. You're a VVVIP, so I'm authorized to apply for it on your behalf. We wouldn't accept the request from an ordinary customer."
Li Wanyun understood.
-They were after her money.
But it didn't matter. This time, all their scheming was doomed to come to nothing.
Who could help it when the apocalypse was coming?
Who could help it when she was a reborn woman with a Spatial Superpower?
The corners of Li Wanyun's mouth lifted high.
She was glad she had found the right "channel."
Was she truly heaven's chosen daughter?
Buying grain hadn't gone smoothly, but another solution had appeared immediately. Whatever she wanted came her way.
It was precisely because buying grain hadn't gone smoothly that she now had ten billion.
Worth it!
-Heaven really hadn't let her be reborn for nothing.
Everything was settled, and Li Wanyun still didn't entirely trust "Xiao Ye." Worried that something might go wrong with the money, she decisively bought a ticket for the earliest flight and headed straight for M Country.
Stockpile supplies, buy weapons-she needed to spend this money as quickly as possible!
Xiao Ye drove her to the airport.
Li Wanyun waved goodbye and boarded the plane with carefree confidence, carrying nothing.
As the plane prepared to take off, Li Wanyun looked at the land beneath her and finally broke into a radiant smile.
Everything was different now.
After being reborn, everything really was going smoothly.
She could buy ten billion's worth of supplies and stockpile them in her space. When the apocalypse arrived, she would be the wealthiest person in the entire post-apocalyptic world, able to deal with Li Qiancheng and the others with ease.
Her space would have everything she needed. She would live a completely different life from her last one...
Reborn, she would be the protagonist of this world.
-This was how heaven's chosen daughter deserved to be treated!
Who in this world would dare compete with her?
Li Wanyun lifted her chin and casually opened her phone. The friend request she had just sent had been accepted.
[Special Affairs Travel Agency, M Country local guide Xiao Wan: Hi, dear customer.]
Meanwhile.
Hao Jingye drove off briskly to pick someone up.
"Sister Sheng, Li Wanyun has boarded the plane. Old Zhao is on board and will keep her safe. Team 0 is waiting for her too, and Brother Wan has successfully made contact. Everything is going smoothly." Hao Jingye sounded excited.
Sheng An nodded calmly.
Clearly, she hadn't given the matter much thought.
Li Wanyun was already a fish in their pond. She couldn't escape and would carry out their plans step by step.
When she returned with the "goods,"
It would be time for them to draw in the net.
Her fingers moved across her tablet, her brows drawing together slightly.
"Sister Sheng, what's wrong?" Hao Jingye asked, puzzled.
Before you continue
