You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The "bone sculptor" serial killer case has been completely solved!

The news sent shockwaves through the entire capital.

Those media outlets that were frantically smearing the police for their poor handling of the case just a few days ago have fallen silent, and then immediately changed their tune, launching a massive chorus of praise for the police's bravery.

Wen Zhonghai has been handed over to the judicial authorities and will face the most severe legal sanctions. All his assets have been seized, and his reputation will be utterly ruined for eternity.

Lin Chen, who was the biggest contributor to solving the case, kept his achievements hidden and took Jiang Tingxue back to the courtyard house.

Life returned to normal once again.

late at night.

In the master bedroom of the courtyard house.

Jiang Tingxue, due to her fluctuating emotions and the continuous work of the past few days, quickly fell into a deep sleep in Lin Chen's arms after taking a shower.

Lin Chen leaned against the headboard, listening to the woman's even breathing in his arms, his eyes full of doting affection.

Just then.

The system's long-awaited and frantic notification sounded in his mind!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for perfectly solving the "Skeleton Sculptor Serial Case" and personally tearing apart the villain's disguise!]

[Mission Evaluation: SSS-level Godlike!]

[Start distributing mission rewards...]

[Reward 1: 500 billion in cash! (The funds have been legally transferred to the host's private black card. The source of the funds is a legitimate investment dividend from an overseas consortium. All taxes and procedures have been perfectly handled by the system, ensuring absolute safety.)]

"Buzz—"

My phone, which was on the bedside table, vibrated.

Lin Chen picked it up and saw that it was a text message from the bank.

Looking at the long string of zeros, Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Five hundred billion in cash flow—this isn't market value, but real, readily available cash.

Even for someone like Ye Qingcheng, the head of a multi-billion dollar empire, taking out 50 billion in cash at once would be a huge financial strain.

With this money, he can do whatever he wants from now on.

The system notification sound continued.

[Reward 2: All attributes +150! Charm +300!]

boom!

A vast and pure warm current appeared out of nowhere and instantly flowed throughout Lin Chen's entire body.

Lin Chen felt his bones making soft cracking sounds, and his muscle fibers were constantly being reorganized, compressed, and strengthened.

His eyesight, hearing, reaction speed, and strength all experienced a terrifying leap.

If the previous Lin Chen was a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

With his current physical strength alone, he could probably overturn a heavy armored vehicle with his bare hands!

Moreover, with the surge in charm value.

Lin Chen's aura became even more profound and captivating, a fatal attraction that blended domineering, languid, and mysterious qualities, enough to make any woman fall for him at first glance.

[Reward 3: Obtain the special life skill [Divine Carving]!]

[Skill Description: Possesses perfect mastery of all carving techniques, including micro-carving, jade carving, and wood carving. Works carved by the host will automatically be imbued with a "soul," possessing powerful calming, exorcising, and physical-improving effects!]

Countless pieces of knowledge about material textures, knife techniques, and force control flooded into Lin Chen's mind.

In just a few seconds, he went from a complete novice to a god-like figure who surpassed all the great sculptors of the past and present.

"This skill is pretty good," Lin Chen thought to himself.

In the future, when I have nothing to do, I can carve some little trinkets for the women in my family as amulets. It will definitely be a great way to increase their favorability.

[Reward 4: Obtain the special item [Memory Rewind Pocket Watch]!]

[Item Description: One-time use item. Once activated, it allows the designated target to perfectly relive their most cherished and longed-for memory in a dream, providing a 100% realistic experience with no side effects.]

Lin Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the reward.

He looked down at Jiang Tingxue, who was fast asleep in his arms.

Although Jiang Tingxue had avenged her great enemy and resolved her inner conflict.

But her father's death remained an unhealable scar in her heart.

She missed her loving father so much.

With a thought, Lin Chen took out the bronze pocket watch from his system space.

The pocket watch has a simple and elegant design, with intricate star patterns engraved on its surface. It feels heavy in the hand and exudes a mysterious aura.

Lin Chen gently pressed the button on the top of the pocket watch.

"Click".

The pocket watch cover popped open, and the hands began to turn in the opposite direction.

A faint, almost invisible golden halo emanated from the pocket watch, slowly enveloping the sleeping Jiang Tingxue.

Lin Chen gently placed the pocket watch beside her pillow.

In a dream.

Jiang Tingxue's previously pitch-black consciousness was suddenly illuminated by warm sunlight.

She found herself standing in a lush, green park.

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of earth and grass.

"Tingxue, slow down, don't fall!"

A deep, loving voice sounded from behind.

Jiang Tingxue suddenly turned around.

Under the sunlight.

A handsome, refined middle-aged man in a white shirt was holding a swallow kite and looking at her with a smile.

That's her father!

There was no bloodshed, no dissection table, only the purest fatherly love.

"dad!"

In her dream, Jiang Tingxue transformed back into the fifteen-year-old girl, crying and throwing herself into her father's arms.

Feeling the familiar warmth and pleasant scent of soap emanating from her father, Jiang Tingxue breathed in greedily, as if she wanted to etch this moment forever into the depths of her soul.

in reality.

Jiang Tingxue, lying in Lin Chen's arms, completely relaxed her tightly furrowed brows.

Lin Chen looked at her peaceful sleeping face.

His eyes were so gentle they could melt your heart.

He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on Jiang Tingxue's smooth forehead.

Sweet dreams, my love.
