Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 231 Reward, Portable Space

His favorite color used to be light blue, which was elegant and refined, with an extraordinary taste.

Ever since he contracted the system, his favorite thing has been that crimson hue.

[Wong Tai Sin's overall approval rating +3.6%]

[Personal Space (A thousand-foot personal space where you can store items freely; system rewards will be automatically stored in this space)]

[Support Rate Production Machine Fragment *2]

There were only three rewards, but each one made Li Jiayuan feel that he had gained a lot from the trip.

These are all treasures! Putting aside the approval rating and the fragments for now, the personal space and the bright red items alone are enough to soothe his anger during this period.

It smells so good, so delicious!

He had dreamed of having a personal space.

Each time the system gives a reward, it either places it in front of him or stores it in some private place.

This matter has caused him a lot of trouble. If it were some simple items, it would be fine, but Tongzi sometimes gives him some large items, which makes him very worried.

For example, last time when Brother Tongzi gave him an AK, he just stored it at his house. You know, he doesn't live alone; Huang Lei is there too. If she sees it, how will you explain it?

Could these be toys?
Do not make jokes.

With this portable space, he could not only carry important items at will, but also store the system rewards, as if divinely aided.

For Li Jiayuan now, this personal space is more precious than any reward; his luck has truly blossomed.

Wait, could this be a huge safety net?

It's also Tongzi's fault; he kept all the good stuff hidden, and it wasn't even in the encyclopedia.

He had no idea that the system rewards included such a large item as a personal space.

Another piece of good news is that he has finally accumulated enough points to redeem shared quotas.

[Current points: 6523]

It wasn't easy. After spending so much time and effort, I finally accumulated enough points to redeem them.

In fact, he had already accumulated 6000 points some time ago, but his goal for himself was not 6000 but 6500.

I'm terrified of being poor, I don't dare spend a single point.

Without points in hand, he felt completely insecure. His principle was to always keep 500 points in reserve for special circumstances, no matter what.

Although it was a bit late and he felt a little disappointed, Li Jiayuan was only happy after achieving this big goal.

[Should I redeem the Danger Figurative Item?]

【Yes】

Without hesitation, he said, "Big Gold, take it."

[Shared quota]

[Shared by: Huang Lei]

Lying back in the chair, Li Jiayuan let out a long sigh of relief. Now, as long as he closes his eyes, he can see Huang Lei's perspective and clearly know her location.

"Oh, there's a hidden feature? You didn't mention that before?"

After the sharing device was turned on, Li Jiayuan saw a map in his mind. Yes, it was a very complete map, as detailed as map software from later generations, with regions and place names clearly marked.

After observing for a while longer.

"This map should have a fixed range, within 100 li of the shared user. If the shared user moves, the map will also move accordingly. There is no specific and clear range."

This is a great relationship, and it's quite intelligent too.

It's probably to make it easier to find the location.

There are two spots left, but I haven't thought of anyone to give them to yet.

Li Jiayuan checked the time; it was almost time to get off work. He was just about to pack his things when Gao Jin rushed in, his footsteps so fast they seemed to be setting off sparks.

"Have you seen a ghost? Why are you walking so fast?" Li Jiayuan rarely saw Gao Jin so flustered, and he was in the mood to tease him, but Gao Jin grabbed his hand and pulled him outside.

"Brother Yuan, your wife just called and told you to go to the hospital right away."

"Ruan Mei's maternal grandmother has passed away."

Li Jiayuan froze, a flash of shock crossing his eyes. He turned around, grabbed his coat from the hanger, and strode towards the door.

Come to the hospital
Hello, may I ask...?

After finding out where Ruan Mei and the others were, Gao Jin followed Li Jiayuan and rushed there without stopping.

After some twists and turns, the group arrived at the lowest floor of the hospital. As they took the elevator down, Li Jiayuan immediately felt that the temperature there was terrifyingly low.

This is the hospital morgue. After turning two corners, Gao Jin stopped and let Li Jiayuan go through alone.

In the distance, Ruan Mei sat in front of a bench, with Huang Lei, whose leg was still in a cast, sitting beside her.

Seeing this, Li Jiayuan slowed down, his expression changing several times, and quietly walked up to Ruan Mei and the other person.

Ruan Mei buried her head in her knees, her slightly trembling body and sobbing making the atmosphere in the corridor extremely somber.

Ruan Mei grew up with Cai Po since she was a child. The two of them depended on each other for survival. Cai Po was her only relative in this world. Now that even Cai Po is gone, this is a devastating blow to Ruan Mei.

Huang Lei has been with Ruan Mei for four hours now; Ruan Mei has been crying for as long as Huang Lei has been there.

Fortunately, Ruan Mei had already undergone heart surgery; otherwise, excessive grief could have really led to something serious.

Huang Lei pulled Li Jiayuan to the side. Because of his limited mobility, he could only walk slowly while holding onto the support pole. After reaching the side, he sighed:
"Grandma Cai passed away so suddenly. She was found by the water delivery staff. When they found her, her body was already cold."

Grandma Cai and Huang Lei had a good relationship, and Grandma Cai even gave her a family heirloom. After Grandma Cai left, Huang Lei was heartbroken. As she spoke, her voice trembled and her eyes were red.

"Then what did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that the old man is old and has problems with his blood vessels, so it is quite easy for him to walk like this."

At this moment, Li Jiayuan suddenly remembered that some time ago, Granny Cai had suddenly given the family heirloom to Ruan Mei, and he seemed to understand something.

It is said that some elderly people will have a premonition when their time is coming to an end. Could it be that Granny Cai knew she was about to leave soon, which is why she entrusted the family heirloom to Huang Lei?

Li Jiayuan felt a mix of emotions. Grandma Cai was a very kind old woman who devoted her whole life to her only granddaughter, Ruan Mei, and even on her deathbed, she did not forget to leave Ruan Mei with a blessing.

He must have been worried that Ruan Mei wouldn't be able to cope on her own after he left, and wanted him and Huang Lei to take care of Ruan Mei, which is why he gave the family heirloom to Huang Lei.

What Li Jiayuan saw was an old man's meticulous care and love for his granddaughter, a precious family bond.

Unfortunately, the old woman passed away after only a few days of good fortune.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable. Li Jiayuan couldn't help but wonder what it would be like when he passed away.

Just as Huang Lei finished speaking with Li Jiayuan, there was a loud thud not far away.

Ruan Mei fell straight off the chair, which terrified Huang Lei.

"Quick, go check it out!"

If it weren't for her leg problems, she probably would have run over by now.

"It's alright, she just fainted."

Gao Jin took the elevator up.

"Brother Yuan, I'll go get the doctor."

Ruan Mei fainted due to excessive grief, but it's nothing serious.

After being unconscious for about six hours, I woke up and the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Li Jiayuan and Huang Lei by the bedside.

Her bright, red, swollen eyes instantly burst into tears, and she threw herself into Li Jiayuan's arms, crying her heart out.

"Brother Yuan, I have no family anymore."

Huang Lei watched from the side, silently wiping away her tears, seemingly lost in thought.
