Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

When Lin Mo's gaze fell on the face of the person behind him, he was suddenly stunned. It was Chen Ting, the manager of the bar where he had previously worked part-time.

"Xiao Mo?"

Chen Ting recognized him at a glance, her face showing the same shock.

"Sister Chen, what a coincidence!" Lin Mo greeted her with a smile.

"You two know each other?" The office lady turned to look at Chen Ting.

"I know him. This is my younger brother, Lin Mo."

Chen Ting stepped forward and affectionately patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.

"Just a younger brother?"

The office lady raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"What are you saying!"

Chen Ting gently pushed her, a barely perceptible blush flashing across her face, and quickly glanced at Lin Mo.

"Alright, alright, since he's your brother, then he's my brother too."

The office lady stopped teasing her and turned to Lin Mo gracefully, extending her slender, white hand.

"Hello, Lin Mo, my name is Xin Lu, and I'm the owner of this shop. You want to sell gold ingots?"

"right."

Lin Mo reached out and gently shook her hand, then pointed to the gold ingot on the counter.

Xin Lu picked up the gold ingot, examined it carefully in her palm, and nodded:

"It's quite old, a genuine antique. It's a pity there's no stamp; it's probably a privately minted piece, otherwise it would be worth much more."

"How much is this worth?"

"Well then, since he's Tingting's brother, he's one of us."

Xin Lu said crisply and decisively,

"I'll buy it at the price of gold jewelry in the mall, 1400 yuan per gram. These old gold ingots are generally only about 70% pure; the rest may be silver or copper. This price is absolutely fair. If you're not sure, you can go out and compare prices."

Lin Mo quickly made a mental calculation.

On his way here, he had specifically checked the price of gold. The market price for pure gold was around a little over a thousand. The fact that this woman was willing to buy it at the listed price of gold jewelry in the gold shop was far beyond his expectations.

"Okay, that's the price."

"Great! Mr. Wang, weigh it."

"Wait a minute, I have some more."

As Lin Mo spoke, he took out five more gold ingots from his pocket and lined them up on the counter.

Xin Lu was slightly taken aback. She picked them up one by one to check them, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she hand them to Master Wang, who was standing next to her.

Master Wang placed the six gold ingots onto the electronic scale one by one. Each ingot weighed around 200 grams, and the six ingots together weighed just over one kilogram.

He pressed a few keys on the calculator, then looked up and called out a number:

"A total of 1.4 million."

One million four hundred thousand!

Even though Lin Mo was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but gasp when he heard the number.

One million four hundred thousand! If I were to work for someone else, how long would it take?

Xin Lu caught a glimpse of the shock on his face, and her red lips curled slightly:

"If you think it's okay, brother, give me your account information and I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you right now."

"it is good."

Lin Mo reported the bank card number and the bank where the account was opened.

While waiting for the transfer, Chen Ting pulled Lin Mo aside and asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Mo, don't think I'm being nosy, but where did this gold ingot come from?"

"From a friend."

"friend?"

Chen Ting frowned, her eyes filled with disbelief. She leaned forward, lowering her voice even further.

"You haven't been going to work these past few days. You didn't go off to rob tombs, did you? You mustn't do anything stupid. Once you're in jail for this kind of thing, you'll never be able to get out of jail for the rest of your life."

"Sister Chen, don't worry, your brother isn't stupid. He won't touch anything illegal or disorderly, and this gold ingot is absolutely clean."

"real?"

"real."

"That's good."

Chen Ting let out a long sigh of relief, but her tone remained earnest.

"If you ever need money in the future, just tell me, and I can lend you some. But please, don't do anything foolish or go astray. Study hard; your future is bright, understand?"

"Understood, Sister Chen."

Lin Mo smiled and responded, teasingly.

"Sister Chen, why are you so good to me?"

"I'm a naturally warm-hearted person."

"Oh, I thought Sister Chen was interested in me."

Lin Mo's gaze swept over her, a faint flame flickering in his eyes.

He knew that it was the Yin-Yang Technique subtly causing trouble within his body.

"Who's interested in you? You brat, daring to flirt with your older sister!"

Chen Ting blushed and angrily grabbed Lin Mo's ear.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Sister Chen, please let go!" Lin Mo tilted his head and begged for mercy.

"Hmph, let's see if you dare to do it again."

Chen Ting let go and rolled her eyes at Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, the money has been transferred to your card. Please check it."

Xin Lu waved to him from the other side of the counter.

"Okay."

Lin Mo took out his phone, and the bank's notification of the deposit arriving was clearly visible on the screen.

That long string of numbers made his heart explode with joy, and he couldn't suppress the smile that came over his face.

"Sister Chen, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

He couldn't wait to have a good time.

"Okay, drive carefully, call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

Lin Mo pushed open the door and went out.

The shop fell silent.

Xin Lu walked over to Chen Ting's side, crossed her arms, and watched the receding figure outside the glass door, whispering:

"Tingting, why are you being so nice to him? I've never seen you treat any man like this before."

"He looks somewhat like my deceased younger brother."

"Does it look like it? I don't see it that way."

"It's not that they look alike, it's that their expressions are similar."

"Oh." Xin Lu nodded gently and didn't ask any further questions.

In a private booth on the top floor of the Royal Dynasty Bar, Xu Jiang leaned back in his own leather chair, the cigar between his fingers covered in a long layer of ash that he didn't flick off.

"Still haven't we been able to contact Ah Long and Ah Hu?"

He spoke, his voice not loud, but it made the subordinate standing opposite him tense up.

"No, brother. Their phones are all off, their location can't be found, no one's home, we've searched all the places they usually go, it's like... they just vanished into thin air."

Xu Jiang stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray, rolled it around twice, and then asked:

"Where's Yang Liu?"

"No, she took sick leave from work, saying she wasn't feeling well and needed to go out of town for medical treatment. Nobody knows exactly where she went."

Xu Jiang leaned back, stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling for a long time in silence, then suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"Bring her daughter here, and she'll come to us on her own."

The subordinate didn't respond immediately, but hesitated for a moment, then cautiously took half a step forward:

"Brother, things are probably not going well for Li Jing."

"What's wrong?"

"She's dating Duan Xing, the son of Director Duan of the Municipal Land Bureau. They've been getting very close lately, checking into hotels every day." The subordinate lowered his voice even further. "The approval documents for our land plot are still on Director Duan's desk. If we make a move against Li Jing now, and the Duan family finds out, things could get really bad."

Xu Jiang paused for a second, then slammed his hand on the coffee table. The glass surface vibrated loudly, the ashtray bounced and fell to the ground, scattering ashes everywhere.

"Damn! So you mean I just can't win over Yang Liu no matter what?"

"Brother, no, that's not true. Duan Xing is a playboy. Once the novelty wears off, he'll naturally dump Li Jing. Then you can definitely make your move without any problem!"

Xu Jiang's chest heaved a few times, and he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Fine, leave her alone for now. Keep looking for Ah Long and Ah Hu. Get all the surveillance footage near Yang Liu's house. I refuse to believe that people can just disappear into thin air!"

"Yes, brother." The subordinate bowed as if he had been granted a pardon and backed out of the private room.

Lin Mo rode his electric scooter to the entrance of a real estate agency near the school. Now that he had money, he naturally wanted to buy a house.

However, just as he stopped the electric scooter, the phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was Wang Gengsheng.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, what's up?"

"Lin, I was too busy yesterday and didn't have time to ask you. So, have you made up your mind? How about coming to our Chemistry Department?"

"Forget it, I think I'm more suited to staying in the Civil Engineering department and making a difference."

"Huh? Lin, shouldn't you reconsider?"

With your talent in chemistry, staying in the civil engineering department would be a complete waste of your potential.

Is it because of Xiao Sun? That girl is so impulsive and hasty in her judgment, jumping to conclusions without even understanding the situation.

Don't worry, I have already given her a serious reprimand, and she has now deeply realized her mistake.

"In that case, I'll make her apologize to you in person!"

"No, it's not because of her. I've just been busy with some things lately and haven't been able to get away."

"I see. Then you go ahead and get busy. Give me a call when you're done, and we can meet and talk properly. Chemistry is really a good fit for you. If you're willing to come, I promise you, you can pursue a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree."

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done," Lin Mo replied dismissively.

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer."

Wang Gengsheng hung up the phone, and Lin Mo shook his head and put his phone back in his pocket.

As he walked into the real estate agency, a middle-aged woman in an office lady uniform stood up from her desk, her gaze quickly sweeping over him: "Looking to rent a place?"

"Buy a house."

"Buying a house..."

The middle-aged woman gave him another look, the glimmer of light in her eyes vanished abruptly, and she turned to call out to the young girl who was engrossed in typing in the distance.

"Qingyue, come and greet them."

"Okay, Sister Wang."

The girl put down the documents in her hand, straightened her clothes, and walked over quickly.

When she got closer and saw who it was, she was visibly stunned for a moment:

"Lin Mo?"

"Oh, it's you! What a coincidence!"

Lin Mo was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to run into Lin Qingyue, the commoner school beauty, here.
