Chapter 76: The Locked Safe Box



After taking care of the old books he just bought, Chen Yiyang met with a junior accountant who rushed over from Jin City around noon.

Although she still had to repay Chen Yiyang every month, she held multiple positions and was sent by Chen Yiyang to work at the Luzon Dehydrated Fruit and Vegetable Factory, where she received a decent salary. She had saved up a little money.

So she spent some money for a makeover for her prosthetic leg.

The prosthetic was originally a high-end model purchased after being reimbursed by the dehydrated vegetable factory.

After adding a lot of custom parts, she now walks more easily than Chen Yiyang.

This made Chen Yiyang immediately hand over one of the two suitcases he was holding to the junior accountant.

"I'm disabled, boss," the junior accountant grudgingly said, pulling the suitcase.

"Even disabled people need a strong body. You should exercise more. Maybe I'll sign you up for the Paralympic Games and you can win some glory for our company."

"Can I put our store's name on my prosthetic for advertising, and then you can pay me an advertising fee?"

"You could engrave my name on the prosthetic directly. That would be even better for advertising."

"No way," the junior accountant shook her head decisively, "What if I switch bosses in the future, how would I explain to the new boss?"

"You've lost your bonus for this month."

"Please, boss, would engraving be alright then? I'll not only engrave your name but also add a heart."

Chen Yiyang and the junior accountant bantered back and forth as they went to drop off their luggage at the hotel where Chen Yiyang was currently staying.

Then the two took a taxi to Shengshi Hotel to sign the contract with Liu Yiyi.

"All terms are fine," Liu Yiyi agreed decisively after reviewing the contract and then signed her name.

"Well, let's wish for a successful transaction," Chen Yiyang signed his name and handed over a copy of the contract to her.

The payment for buying the hotel was to be split into three bank transfers.

The first one-third of the payment was given immediately after signing the contract.

Once the property rights transfer of the hotel was completed, Chen Yiyang would pay another third.

The final one-third would be paid after Chen Yiyang officially took over the hotel and confirmed there were no major issues.

"By the way, Miss Liu, do you have any hotel manager recommendations?"

"How about I recommend myself?" Liu Yiyi said this as a joke, yet her expression was serious.

"Isn't this hotel rumored to be haunted? You're still willing to stay here, Miss Liu?"

"Didn't Mr. Chen say he would invite an expert from Dragon Tiger Mountain to catch the ghost? If it works out, of course, I'd hope to continue working here.

This hotel was inherited from a distant relative of mine, but I have put a lot of effort into it too."

Liu Yiyi explained the whole inheritance process to Chen Yiyang.

It turns out Liu Yiyi's grandfather remarried a younger woman after his first wife passed away.

After her grandfather died, the new wife and the eldest son from the first marriage had a falling out.

The eldest son subsequently left home and never returned.

It wasn't until later that Liu Yiyi found out she had such a relative.

However, by the time she found out, a lawyer had already come with the will to find Liu Yiyi.

Her great uncle, who had no children, decided to leave the hotel to Liu Yiyi before passing away.

This turned Liu Yiyi, who had just graduated, from an employee to a wealthy woman overnight.

Unfortunately, although Liu Yiyi managed the hotel earnestly for two years, ghost rumors have now driven away all the guests, forcing her to sell it.

"So that Mr. Zhao Cheng I met the other day became your friend after you inherited the hotel in West Capital?" Chen Yiyang suddenly asked.

"Exactly," Liu Yiyi nodded.

She then checked her phone. "He should be here shortly. Please take good care of him for me, Mr. Chen. I've been too tired lately and need a break, so I won't meet him."

With that, Liu Yiyi got up and left the hotel.

Chen Yiyang suddenly realized that Liu Yiyi was not as naïve as he previously thought; she seemed aware there might be something off with Zhao Cheng.

She was right.

Just a few minutes after she left, Zhao Cheng rushed nervously into the hotel's lounge.

By then, Chen Yiyang had already organized the transaction contracts and all the hotel materials.

"Where's Yiyi? I messaged her, but she didn't respond," Zhao Cheng asked as soon as he arrived.

"Liu Yiyi said she's too tired and wants to rest for a while. She's probably not in the mood to check her messages," Chen Yiyang stood up to answer Zhao Cheng.

"So brother, have you and Yiyi already signed the contract?"

Zhao Cheng asked, looking at Chen Yiyang.

"Yes, the price of 4.6 million is indeed a great deal. I couldn't pass on buying this hotel."

"Brother, you're confused. The hotel I introduced to you last time, I spent all night negotiating yesterday. The price has already dropped to 8 million. Why go for this haunted hotel?"

Zhao Cheng put on an act, looking as if he was indignant on behalf of Chen Yiyang as he came over and spoke.

"That's a real shame. Next time when I have money again and there's such a great treasure-hunting opportunity, bro, you'll have to introduce me."

"How about I take a little loss? I'll increase the price by a hundred thousand based on what you paid for Liu Yiyi's hotel, and buy this hotel from you, how about it?"

"Aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Chen Yiyang looked at Zhao Cheng with interest. He felt this guy's expression was like someone who thought technician number four was unlucky and instead chose number eight, only to find out afterward that number four was more than twice as attractive as number eight.

"Bro, I have some connections at Dragon Tiger Mountain. I'm planning to buy the hotel and then invite a Celestial Master from there to take a look. But this will cost me a favor, so I can't help you make introductions."

At this moment, Chen Yiyang admired him a little. Great minds think alike, even making excuses in such similar ways.

"Well, let's talk about this later. I know a few experts too. I'll find someone to check out the ghost issue first. If it can't be solved, then I'll sell it to you."

"By then, it won't be this price. I'm guessing you'd lose more than a million." Zhao Cheng was getting anxious.

"No problem, I can afford that amount of loss."

Seeing that Chen Yiyang wouldn't relent no matter what, Zhao Cheng lingered for half a day and then left the hotel.

After Zhao Cheng left, Chen Yiyang instructed the junior accountant, "In the next couple of days, find a security company to hire four guards to patrol the hotel to prevent any accidents.

Also, get someone to replace the hotel's surveillance system with a new one, making sure all surveillance cameras have no blind spots outside the rooms."

"No problem," the junior accountant agreed.

"You be careful too, don't get into any trouble in the next few days in the West Capital," Chen Yiyang glanced at the junior accountant and specifically reminded her.

"Don't worry, boss. You have no idea how well-stocked my arsenal is now,"

The junior accountant said as she lifted her skirt.

Her colorful prosthetic, which had been modified, surprisingly contained two slots for anti-wolf sprays.

"Impressive," Chen Yiyang gave a thumbs up.

He now kind of understood why mercenaries in cyberpunk games would modify their bodies.

This weapon concealment was beyond imagination.

After instructing the junior accountant to get busy, Chen Yiyang spent an afternoon finding a decent apartment.

This apartment is located next to a tourist attraction in the Ancient Capital District of West Capital City.

The surroundings are beautiful, the transportation convenient, and most importantly, the landlord allows tenants to change locks and carry out light modifications during the rental period.

The short-term rental price is eleven thousand per month.

But Chen Yiyang has money now, so the price wasn't an issue.

So he decisively rented this apartment.

The apartment has a total area of over two hundred square meters, with four rooms.

Chen Yiyang planned to leave one for the junior accountant, and the remaining three for himself, one for sleeping, one as a gaming room, and one for storing stuff.

After paying the rent and deposit.

Chen Yiyang moved into the apartment that night and had someone change the locks.

After sending the address and the password to the security door to the junior accountant.

Chen Yiyang went to find Xu Xiaosheng.

Tonight, Xu Xiaosheng's roommate had asked for leave to go home, leaving her alone in the dormitory.

Chen Yiyang planned on a night of fun.

The next morning, waking up next to Xu Xiaosheng, Chen Yiyang wiped his sweaty body, soaked from Xu Xiaosheng's embrace, with a wet tissue and then opened his phone.

Today's intelligence, a locked safe: an old goods trading market on Nanping Street in Huaxu District of West Capital City, a safe whose owner forgot the password and lost the key is up for sale. Buying it for less than a thousand yuan would be a successful treasure hunt.

Images related to the safe are attached on page two.

Old goods trading market?

Chen Yiyang looked it up. He found out that the old goods trading market in West Capital City is quite famous.

Many seniors who don't know how to sell their second-hand goods online prefer to bring their unnecessary but still valuable old items to this market, entrusting the managers here to help sell them.

Compared to typical second-hand goods trading stores, the commissions here are much more cost-effective.

As long as the items aren't valuable, for general household second-hand old goods, they usually charge just ten to twenty yuan per item as commission.

"Want breakfast?" Chen Yiyang asked, setting down his phone after checking the information, holding Xu Xiaosheng.

Considering that Chen Yiyang's previous questions to Xu Xiaosheng about breakfast were genuinely about breakfast.

So Xu Xiaosheng trustfully replied, "I want to eat tofu pudding, can you buy it for me downstairs?"

"Sure, here comes the tofu pudding," Chen Yiyang's hand slowly slid down, and his head also tucked under the blanket.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Xu Xiaosheng hadn't finished speaking.

Chen Yiyang had already started having breakfast by himself.

After both of them finished breakfast.

He finally dressed and went downstairs to bring back tofu pudding for Xu Xiaosheng.
