I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

The sickly beauty asked, puzzled, "Miss, could you explain?"

"People whose behavior and thoughts are different from normal people."

"The man is called 'Dian Gong' (颠公) and the woman is called 'Dian Po' (颠婆)," Cai Yi explained.

The sickly beauty recalled the information she had researched, and remained silent for a long time before asking, "So...did you encounter it?"

"We found them!" Caiyi placed the bag in front of the sickly beauty. "These are what Dian Gong dug out."

The sickly beauty seemed lost in thought.

...unaffected and able to escape control.

Wei Yan: "..."

Ghost letter!

Lin Qiusheng asked Cai Yi for the bag in his hand: "Miss, can I take a look?"

“Okay!” Caiyi said indifferently. She had no use for this thing and was planning to hand it over anyway.

This old man seems to be someone important; giving him his organ might even benefit patients with organ problems.

Lin Qiusheng didn't open it, but instead brought it close to his eyes to examine it closely. Then he said to the sickly beauty, "Qingming, this is almost identical to the one you brought me last time."

"To be completely certain, we need to take it back for testing."

Xu Qingming nodded, gazing at Cai Yi with eyes that seemed like a deep, starry sky, captivating all who looked upon them. His voice was low and deep: "Miss, may I have this?"

Cai Yi touched his tingling earlobe, nodded with a silly smile, his eyes glued to Xu Qingming's jade-like face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qiusheng grabbed the bag and left with Shan Nan.

Xu Qingming is now in good health, so there's no point in leaving him here. It's more important to go back and study what's in the bag.

"Young lady, would you be willing to join us?" Xu Qingming asked with a smile in his eyes.

"Great!" Caiyi exclaimed eagerly.

Xu Qingming was a little surprised: "Do you know what we do?"

"I know!" Cai Yi blurted out without thinking.

Xu Qingming's expression darkened, and he gave Wei Yan a wink.

Wei Yan left the ward.

Cai Yi knew that Wei Yan had investigated her, but she didn't care. She had nothing to fear.

Caiyi pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Xu Qingming. He cleared his throat and said, "My name is Caiyi, which means 'wealth rolling in and everything going smoothly'."

"And the goal? To get a government job."

“I met some strange people the other day. I call them crazy people, since they do things that normal people can’t do.”

"I thought to myself, why is it that others can't encounter this, but I have? It must be my destiny!"

“I followed the mentally ill couple to the hospital, intending to hand them over to the state.”

At this point, Cai Yi stared at Xu Qingming with shining eyes: "Among the crowd, I noticed you at first glance. I think you must be someone extraordinary."

"That old man proved your extraordinary nature!"

"He has the air of a hermit, like a reclusive sage..."

Caiyi was spouting nonsense; whether others believed her or not, she didn't know, but she herself believed it.

Xu Qingming: "..."

What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and there was no way to refute it.

"Are you a government employee?" Cai Yi was curious about this, as it concerned whether she could get a government job.

"Hmm." Xu Qingming nodded. There was no point in hiding it, since he was going to join anyway. "Special Affairs Department, Xu Qingming, like a gentle breeze, Xu Qingming is upright and honest."

Cai Yi grinned, showing off his bright white teeth, and extended his dark palm: "Xu Qingming, please take care of me in the future!"

The feeling of a girl calling someone by their first name is peculiar, but not strange.

Xu Qingming's large, clean, and slightly cool hand grasped that small, warm hand with bony protrusion: "Okay."

Cai Yi, rubbing her rumbling stomach, looked at Xu Qingming, who was in the same predicament as her, and said with a grin, "Xu Qingming, I don't have any money, can you contribute some?"

Xu Qingming shook his head: "This is not my ward, I have no money."

"Which room is yours?" Caiyi asked, starting to push his hospital bed. Almost all hospital beds have wheels.

Xu Qingming: "..."

He still gave directions; a cell phone was indeed needed.

Cai Yi pushed Xu Qingming's hospital bed back to his original ward without any hindrance.

Xu Qingming took his silent phone from the bedside table and dialed back the dozens of missed calls.

"Xu...Xu Qingming? Where are you?" A woman's voice rang out, tinged with sobs.

"Mom... I'm fine, I'm in the ward." Xu Qingming said, lowering his long eyelashes.

The woman arrived shortly after, hugged Xu Qingming tightly, and sobbed uncontrollably, "Xu Qingming, you...you scared your mother to death!"

"Mom, I'm sorry." Xu Qingming patted the woman's back to comfort her.

Caiyi ate chicken and drank chicken soup, feeling a little envious, as she didn't have parents.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but eat two more pieces of chicken to soothe her wounded heart.

The woman composed herself, wiped away her tears, and asked, "Xiaoming, how did your surgery go?"

Caiyi covered her bulging mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud and spitting out the chicken soup. The nickname of the sickly beauty was unexpectedly down-to-earth.

"Mom, the surgery was a success. Grandpa Lin said the recovery is better than expected," Xu Qingming said patiently, knowing his mother was worried.

"That's good, that's good." The woman smiled through her tears. "Can I have the chicken soup?"

“Okay.” Xu Qingming nodded.

The woman looked at the bedside table; it was empty.

Where's the chicken soup?

She tilted her head, and Caiyi's dark face came into view.

woman:"……"

Xu Qingming also saw it: "..."

Before his mother could speak, he said, "Mom, this is my colleague, Caiyi. He just... came back from a mission."

The woman nodded. No wonder he was so dirty, like a beggar; he had just finished a mission.

"Auntie, I'm sorry... I was so hungry." Cai Yi reluctantly handed the chicken soup to the woman, "So I couldn't resist and ate the chicken soup you prepared for the captain."

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard her voice: "Oh, girl, what are you saying? You're all colleagues, it doesn't matter who eats."

"Xiaoming just had surgery and can't eat yet. It's for his own good if you help him eat," the woman said with a smile. "Girl, how old are you?"

Caiyi took the food back from the woman when she said she could eat it, and continued eating.

She tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and looked completely innocent: "Auntie, I'm nineteen."

The woman's expression froze slightly; Xiaoming seemed a bit old...

Eight years old... that's not very old. With a little effort, it's still possible.

I hope Xu Qingming will live up to expectations.

Xu Qingming rubbed his forehead, wanting to stop his mother, but was glared at by her and had no choice but to awkwardly withdraw his hand.

Caiyi finished the chicken soup in no time.

The woman was increasingly satisfied with what she saw; being able to eat was a blessing, it was all good.

...Eating so much? How come he's still so thin? This kid looks so uncomfortable.

"Mom, go and get me some clothes ready." Xu Qingming wanted to be discharged from the hospital.

The woman frowned, her face full of displeasure: "You just had surgery, you're not allowed to leave the hospital."

“Mom.” Xu Qingming looked at her with clear, bright eyes.

The woman looked at him helplessly: "Don't be stubborn, do you hear me?"

“Okay, Mom,” Xu Qingming replied.

The woman sized up Caiyi, then left the ward with the insulated container of chicken soup.

Caiyi patted his belly contentedly and said, "Xu Qingming, your mother is so beautiful!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Qingming took out his phone and ordered some porridge.

"Order one for me too~" Cai Yi sat on the hospital bed, moved closer to Xu Qingming, and stared at his phone screen, saying, "I want seafood porridge."

Xu Qingming: "..."

One bowl of plain congee, and one bowl of seafood congee.

The meal was served quickly, and the two ate in silence. They cleaned up right after they finished eating.

The woman returned, followed by two bodyguards.

She brought a lot of things: two sets of clothes, hair accessories, a watch, a necklace, earrings, a fruit basket, food, and a cell phone.

The woman urged Caiyi to go to the washroom and change his clothes.

Xu Qingming stared intently at his mother, his expression deep and unfathomable: "Ms. Xu Ya, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Xu Ya laughed in exasperation. "You're almost thirty, how dare you ask me what I want to do?"

"I just want to hold my grandson before I die, am I wrong?"

Xu Qingming said helplessly, "Mom, you just had a check-up recently, and you're perfectly healthy."

Xu Ya sneered: "What I'm worried about is you. You won't even let me hold my grandson before you die."

"We asked you to quit this job, but you refused."

"I told you to find a partner, but you keep making excuses."

Xu Qingming sighed: "Mom, you're clearly upset saying these things, so why do you still say them?"

"Yes, you know I'm upset," Xu Ya said, tears falling from her eyes. "But I'm so worried..."

"I spent the first half of my life worrying about your father, and I finally waited for him to retire, but then you went to jail..."

"Neither of you, father and son, is easy to deal with."

"Mom, I'm sorry." Xu Qingming took a tissue and wiped her tears. "I promise, I'll be fine."

"I mean what I say," Xu Ya said, sniffing.

"Ah."
