The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

She didn't know how much time had passed, perhaps when the water in the glass bottle gradually lost its temperature and became cold, Xin Yi finally slowly opened her eyelids, which felt incredibly heavy as if they were being pressed down by lead.

She muttered to herself, "My physical condition is really terrible! Even though I've undergone such a long period of enhanced abilities, I still suffer terribly from menstrual cramps. It's utterly ridiculous."

While thinking, Xin Yi endured her physical discomfort and struggled to move out of bed little by little. She staggered towards the kitchen, intending to drink some hot water to relieve the pain.

Having finally reached the kitchen, Xin Yi struggled to fill the glass bottle with hot water. Just as she turned to return to the bedroom, there was a soft knock on the door.

At first, Xin Yi thought she was hallucinating because she wasn't feeling well, since it was rare for anyone to visit at this time of day. But after calming down and listening carefully for a while, she finally realized that someone was indeed knocking on the door.

"Who could it be? Why would they come knocking at a time like this..." Xin Yi hugged the thermos tightly, her steps unsteady as she walked towards the courtyard, filled with doubt.

As she got closer to the gate, the knocking became clearer. Taking a deep breath, Xin Yi reached out and gently opened the gate.

"Uncle Zhang, Officer Li, what brings you here? Has something happened?" Xin Yi asked in surprise when she saw the two people standing at the door.

Zhang Laifu looked unusually serious. He glanced at Officer Li beside him before replying, "Yiyi, this is Officer Li. You should have met before. As for the specifics, it's better if Officer Li tells you himself." With that, he stepped aside to make room for Officer Li to speak.

It wasn't that Xin Yi was being deliberately dramatic, but she genuinely felt unwell all over, with waves of discomfort washing over her.

So, she frowned, forced a smile, and said, "Why don't we go inside and sit down and talk slowly? Uncle Zhang, Officer Li, please come in!" As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and made a warm invitation.

At this moment, Zhang Laifu quietly leaned close to Xin Yi's ear and asked in a low voice with concern, "I heard from Liu Zhiqing that you weren't feeling well. Shouldn't you go to the clinic to get checked out? You can't just stay lying there all the time. What if your condition gets worse?"

Hearing this, Xin Yi gently shook her head and replied, "It's alright. If it doesn't get better, I can go again. But speaking of which, what brings this Officer Li here specifically to see me? You look so serious, could it be that something serious has happened?" As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Laifu with a puzzled yet slightly worried gaze, trying to glean some clues from his expression.

Only then did Zhang Laifu realize that it was his overly serious expression that had caused Xin Yi's misunderstanding.

He quickly waved his hand and explained with a smile, "Oh, don't worry, this is great news! You'll find out the details in a bit!"

After receiving this reply, Xin Yi's doubts lessened slightly, but her curiosity was completely piqued.

She walked unsteadily to the door of the main room, gently pushed it open, and then stood to the side, smiling as she said to the two men, "Please come in and sit down, I'm so sorry, I'm not feeling well today, so I just got out of bed. I'm really sorry to have made you feel uncomfortable!"

After seeing Zhang Laifu enter the room and find a seat, Li Yun followed suit and sat down next to him.

He asked with concern, "Xin Zhiqing, it's only been a few days since I last saw you, why do you look so haggard? If you're feeling unwell, you must go to the hospital to get it checked out! Don't push yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Yi's face flushed red instantly, and she appeared somewhat flustered. She gave an awkward smile and quickly explained, "Oh dear, it's nothing serious. It's just that the weather is getting cooler, and my body isn't quite used to it yet, so I'm feeling a little unwell. I'll be fine after a short rest, so don't worry too much. Oh, by the way, Officer Li, you came all the way to Dahe Village to find me so early this morning, you must have something important to discuss, right?"

Li Yun smiled slightly, slowly reached into his pocket, carefully pulled out a thick stack of banknotes and a few pieces of paper, and then gently placed them on the table.

"Xin Zhiqing, to be honest, I only just found out myself. I never knew you were such an amazing and capable person!" Li Yun said, looking at Xin Yi with admiration.

"Huh? Officer Li, what you're saying confuses me. What do you mean?" Xin Yi asked curiously, blinking her big, bright eyes.

At this moment, Li Yun couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the simple little house for a long time before finally stopping.

After he stopped laughing, he cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Haha, Xin Zhiqing, this is fantastic news! The county public security bureau's reward has finally been approved! You've performed three major merits! So, the county public security bureau is giving you a special reward of two hundred yuan! Just for successfully capturing that enemy agent, you've been rewarded with one hundred yuan! In addition, you've received fifty yuan each for catching the thief! Not only that, they've also made an exception and awarded you a 'Model Individual' certificate of honor!"

Upon hearing these words, Xin Yi, who had been feeling unwell, suddenly brightened up. She seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, and her spirits lifted instantly, as if all her ailments had vanished in an instant.

Xin Yi slowly reached out and gently picked up the thick stack of things placed on the table. After examining it carefully, she was certain that it was indeed a full two hundred yuan in cash.

In addition, there were three payment confirmation slips and a certificate of merit for being awarded the title of outstanding individual.

"Shouldn't I need to sign this confirmation form?" Xin Yi looked up, glanced at Li Yun across from her, and asked calmly.

"That's right!"

Li Yun responded quickly and subconsciously reached into his pocket to rummage around.

However, a look of embarrassment quickly appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Oh no, I think I left my pen at the station. I wonder if Xin Zhiqing has a pen I can borrow?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Yi immediately stood up without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the room, but actually she was going to avoid the two of them and go to her spatial dimension to find a pen.
