Chapter 787: Chapter 12: Ghost Cries Chapter 787: Chapter 12: Ghost Cries Lin Xian woke up early the next morning.

To maximize his time exploring his dreams, he had started sleeping at noon the day before, completely reversing his day and night.

After getting up, Lin Xian arranged to meet Brother Wang and headed to Tem Bank early.

“Lin Xian, you’re here.”

In front of Tem Bank, Brother Wang had been waiting for Lin Xian since morning and greeted him with a laugh,

“You slept like the dead yesterday.

President Zhao and I joked that you took a nap until midnight, but it turns out you really didn’t reply to my message until then.”

“I’ve been a bit tired lately, got my days and nights mixed up.”

Lin Xian replied with a smile and then asked,

“What’s President Zhao been busy with lately?

Does she need me for something?”

“No, no.”

Brother Wang shook his head as they walked inside,

“She didn’t want to see you, it was just that both of us had some work matters to discuss.

Then I mentioned you sleeping during the day.”

“Her parents came from the Imperial Capital, so she’s probably been busy with family stuff.

She even called me yesterday afternoon to ask which restaurant was child-friendly, so I recommended a Chinese-Western family restaurant to her.”

“Haha, you know President Zhao seems to know everything, but when it comes to raising kids and children’s stuff, she really hits a blind spot.

My daughter used to love that Chinese-Western family restaurant, so I recommended it to her.”

Family restaurant?

Lin Xian was a bit lost and followed Brother Wang towards the bank’s vault,

“Isn’t President Zhao an only child?

Her parents are visiting her in Donghai City…

did they bring a kid with them?

A relative’s kid?”

“Probably.”

Brother Wang said offhand,

“President Zhao didn’t specify, just mentioned her parents were bringing a kid over.

That’s all there is, so if she said that, it must be a friend’s or relative’s kid.”

“If you ask me, it’s likely a subtle way of pressuring her to marry, borrowing some kid to create a happy family picture to show her, obviously to spur her on.”

Speaking of which, Brother Wang recalled the cool little girl who used to be around Lin Xian,

“Speaking of which, where’s that little girl who used to be with you?

I asked my wife too, and you guys have no blood relation…

you really made a huge blunder, don’t you know whether you’ve fathered a child or not?”

“You handled that situation pretty well, just don’t do it again.

How can you just pick up a child off the street and drag them for a paternity test…

especially on your own when you’re not sure about it, and dragging President Zhao into it…

isn’t that tarnishing someone’s reputation?”

“Put yourself in their shoes, Lin Xian, think about it—”

“[What would you think if President Zhao picked up a little girl off the street and then forcefully took you to the hospital for a paternity test?]”

…

Listening to these astonishing words, Lin Xian thought about it from their perspective.

It felt.

Like it really wasn’t the case.

But the situation was different after all, it wasn’t that he let Zhao Yingjun take a blood draw for any random girl, it was mostly because of Huang Que’s misleading words, wasn’t it?

If it hadn’t been for Huang Que’s phrase “don’t leave Yu Xi,” he certainly wouldn’t have pulled Zhao Yingjun to have a DNA test done.

However, looking at the outcome.

His request was indeed a bit excessive at the time, at least…

it wasn’t quite appropriate.

“Oh, you mean that little girl.”

Lin Xian scratched his head and thought of an excuse,

“In the end, I handed it over to the police.

They’re professionals and quickly found the little girl’s parents and sent her home.”

“Didn’t they send you a banner of honor for that?” Brother Wang joked.

“Heh, don’t I already have the title of Donghai City’s Righteous Young Man?”

Lin Xian chuckled,

“Must live up to the title, right?

Doing good deeds is nothing to fuss about, good people get good rewards.”

During their talk,

Brother Wang had already opened the vault of Tem Bank, allowing Lin Xian to enter.

The two walked inside.

It was a bit chilly, but that was just compared to the outside weather.

In fact, the temperature and humidity here were strictly controlled.

Brother Wang, who studied this, said only this temperature and humidity are optimal for long-term preservation of items.

“What did you want to look at today?”

Brother Wang and Lin Xian stood in the middle of the vault, looking around,

“Let me know what you want to know, and I’ll report it to you.”

“How many safes do we have in the warehouse right now?” Lin Xian asked.

“266.”

Brother Wang blurted out.

Now, he was very familiar with everything about Tem Bank.

He pointed to the far corner of the warehouse:

“When we opened, we ordered 266 Hafnium Alloy Safes, numbered from 1 to 266…

look, here’s number 1, and over there is 266.”

“These numbers were also directly engraved at the factory.

As you know, Hafnium Alloy is so hard that if it wasn’t engraved at that time, there would be no way to make even a scratch on it later…

this material is truly incredible.”

“So, you see the nameplates on the safes?

Their function is for engraving customer names because we didn’t know the customer’s names at the time of manufacture, so we had to add them later…

the only option was to engrave on the nameplates.”

“Even though the nameplates aren’t made of Hafnium Alloy, they still incorporate some of its technology, so they can last a few hundred years without corroding or rusting.

No problem at all.”

Lin Xian nodded:

“Do you have plans to add more safes later?”

“Not at the moment.”

Brother Wang spread his hands:

“As of now, these 266 safes, very few have actually been sold and put to use.

You see, only about fifty or sixty have had names engraved and items stored in them…

there are still more than 200 that haven’t been activated yet.”
