“You’re the investor sister Wei mentioned?!”

Mu Lingxue looked at the person in surprise.

“Sister Weiwei, are you sure it’s him?”

“It should be.”

Chen Wei looked up and down at the cheaply-dressed man.

“Was what you said on the phone true?”

Mu Lingxue was puzzled.

“What did you say?”

“I invested 50 million to help your guild tide over the current crisis.”

“What?!”

Lingxue thought she heard wrong.

“Did you say 50 million?!”

Although she didn’t say it directly, the expression on Lingxue’s face said it all.

A person who had less than a hundred pieces of clothing on him actually said that he wanted to invest 50 million to his guild?

If it wasn’t for her basic manners, she would have kicked him out.

Lin Yi understood their reactions, but at the same time, he felt helpless.

After all, he didn’t look like a rich man.

Not only did he not look like a rich man, Lingxue felt that she had met a liar.

“Do you think I’m joking?” Lin Yi asked in return.

In fact, the reason why Lin Yi was here was because of a woman he had once hurt.

In his previous life, it was because of his ruthless rejection and his heartless words.

That was why her family arranged a blind date with that man not long after.

It was also because of that man’s appearance that led to her tragedy later on.

Lin Yi, an orphan before his rebirth, never thought that he would hurt her so much because of his relationship with her.

It was because of his withdrawal that he made such a huge mistake.

If there was one thing Lin Yi wanted to do after his rebirth, it would be to prevent her from being hurt in the slightest.

Lin Yi’s words caused Chen Wei and Mu Lingxue to look at each other.

It was then that Lin Yi said,

“Actually, you can draft a contract agreement. I’ll transfer the money to your account within three days. If I can’t do it, you can call the police to arrest me or sue me or whatever you want.

“In addition, I will not participate in or interfere with any decision of your guild. My only condition is that I’m allowed to stay here with you.

“Of course, I will also pay the rent.”

“Can I ask you the purpose of doing this?” Mu Lingxue could not help but ask.

It was 50 million!

Moreover, the condition proposed was actually so strange—all he wanted was to live in her house.

Was he plotting something against her?

Lingxue shivered at the thought.

“Can you change the conditions?”

“Are you worried that I might have bad intentions?”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Do you think I’d be stupid enough to come to this high-end residential area of Binhai City and commit a crime?”

Just as Mu Lingxue was about to say something else, Chen Wei spoke first.

“I can agree to let you stay, but we have to make a rule. Your living area is only your room and living room. If you cross the line, you’ll be shown out the door immediately. Can you do that?”

“Of course, no problem,” Lin Yi replied.

Lin Yi had come here to be closer to her, and to be honest, had never thought about their concerns.

But thinking about how he had rejected her half a year ago, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He was probably the last person she wanted to see right now.

Luckily, Lin Yi could clearly sense that the familiar aura was probably sleeping.

It was also because of the synchronization of the game’s attributes that Lin Yi’s spiritual senses were greatly enhanced.

Moreover, Lin Yi discovered that after he inherited the abilities and attributes of the characters in the game, his personality seemed to have undergone huge changes.

“Miss… you…”

Mu Lingxue looked at Chen Wei in surprise. She never thought that Chen Wei, who hated men more than she did, would agree to let him stay here!

“You believe what he said?”

Chen Wei wore a thoughtful expression on her face,

“I trust my instincts. Besides, we really need this money right now.”

“Alright!”

Since Chen Wei seemed determined, Mu Lingxue didn’t insist anymore.

After all, they had been friends for so many years, so Mu Lingxue was very convinced of Chen Wei’s instincts.

There was another important reason for Mu Lingxue to compromise. After being rejected by the investors, she had no choice but to sign a contract with Lin Yi worth 50 million yuan.

Lin Yi took the contract he just signed and said,

“I’ll transfer the 50 million into your card in the next two days.”

“I won’t let you suffer a loss either,” Lingxue replied. “This 50 million yuan will be the capital of your shares. When the guild is profitable, I’ll give it to you according to the dividends.”

Lin Yi wasn’t concerned about that.

“You can do it yourself. I don’t care.”

Lingxue rolled her eyes.

Was this guy’s family too rich? It was 50 million yuan they were talking about, not 5000 yuan!

With that kind of money, he could buy his own villa.

However, no matter how much Lingxue complained, she couldn’t help but sigh. If every investor was as easy to talk to as he was, that would be something that investors would love to see.

After all, no decision-maker liked to be told what to do behind their backs.

After the business was done, Mu Lingxue pointed to a room on the first floor:

“This single room is for you. It has its own bathroom, balcony, furniture, and appliances.”

“Since you’re an investor, I’ll give you 5,000 a month, including the property management fee and other utilities. It’ll be paid once every six months… no problem, right?”

Lin Yi didn’t have a problem and paid the 30,000 yuan rent.

Lingxue then showed Lin Yi the living room and kitchen.

“Other than your room, these are the only two places you can go in and out of. Everything else is restricted.”

“If I find out about it once, I’m sorry. I’ll invite you out without hesitation even if you give me 50 million for free, understand?”

Lin Yi shrugged.

“Understood.”

“And!”

Lingxue pointed at Zhang Xinying’s closed room:

“That room belongs to my best friend. Don’t disturb her… not even if it’s a joke.”

“Don’t talk so loudly.”

“And don’t bring anyone back, not even for a visit.”

…..

Lin Yi looked at the chattering Mu Lingxue,

“Anything else?”

Mu Lingxue froze.

“No, that’s all for now. We’ll add more if we think of anything else.”

Lin Yi smiled helplessly.

“I’ll be living alone. I won’t bring you any trouble. Don’t worry.”

“It’d better be like that.”

Seeing that everything was settled, she thought that Zhang Xinying was probably sleeping.

Mu Lingxue brought Chen Wei upstairs.

However, when Mu Lingxue returned to her room, she couldn’t help but wonder, ‘How did he know that I have an empty room here?’

…..

Lin Yi was standing in front of his room, looking at the tightly shut door.

Even though there was a thick door between them, he could still feel the familiar aura behind the door.

At the sound of the steady breathing, Lin Yi suddenly laughed.

“Xiao Ying, long time no see..”
