Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 113 How presumptuous are you?

"Finally, the power came back on! I was almost dying of heat. That guy surnamed Ma is pretty lucky; I was just about to call and yell at him when the power came back on."

Feeling the various appliances in the room start working again, Miss Yuan said angrily.

Especially when the indoor air conditioning starts working, the temperature in the originally stuffy room drops visibly, which feels absolutely wonderful.

Lin Mo, feeling a little guilty, put the Diao Chan figurine that Miss Yuan had just put down back into the box. Sure enough, the power came back on immediately.

It's just like a power switch, it's really useful.

It was only when Miss Yuan saw him packing that she mentioned that the things she was carrying were also in there, which made him realize he needed to pack them quickly. Otherwise, it was hard to say when the power would be restored.

As for the cause of the power outage, Manager Ma downstairs and his team found out that it was a faulty part in the power switch of their building.

As for why the investigation took so long without finding it, it can only be attributed to some mysterious force.

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh at how useful this thing was; he would have to keep a close eye on it from now on.

"Sister Yuan, don't stand directly in front of the air vent. You just woke up and are covered in sweat. Don't catch a cold," Lin Mo reminded her.

Miss Yuan thought about it and agreed. She then said, "Okay, I'll go take a shower first. By the way, why did you decide to go to your cousin's house for dinner yesterday? It made it so that the three of us couldn't find anyone to play mahjong with."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's lips twitched: "Hey, it's just that my cousin heard I made a fortune and invited me to a get-together."

"Huh? A million is considered getting rich?" Miss Yuan asked with a puzzled look.

Lin Mo:
"Alright, you go take a shower now. I'm going downstairs to see Chuanmei. I'll talk to you about something later."

What kind of talk is that? How can a million not be considered getting rich? It's considered getting a fortune! Rich people are so infuriating.

"Okay, I'll go first, see you later."

After saying that, Miss Yuan turned and went to the bathroom, and Lin Mo, seeing this, also stuffed the box into the cabinet in the living room and then went out.

He had no interest in listening to people showering through the bathroom door; even though he couldn't see anything, it was still pretty perverted.

As soon as I entered the building downstairs, I saw Chuanmei and Director Wang standing in front of the air conditioner, howling with obvious satisfaction.

"Wuhu, the power's back on! The power's finally back on!"

"I'm dying of heat, thank you, Goddess Mazu!"

Lin Mo:
Suddenly I don't really want to come anymore; there are two lunatics in here.

It's one thing for the Sichuan girl to be like this, but Director Wang is truly a devout follower of Mazu, even thanking her for a simple electricity call.

Did Mazu make that? It was only after he collected "Chuangjieshan" that the electricity came through, okay?

"Old Mo? Holy crap, I was wondering why the phone was ringing. Turns out it's you back, Old Mo. It's like the goddess Mazu has appeared!" Director Wang saw him and blurted out a sentence in C language, then clasped his hands together and bowed to the air conditioner.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him, but it wasn't wrong to say that. His name was Lin Mo, and Mazu's name was also Lin Mo. It was understandable that Director Wang would thank Mazu for restoring his power.

"Where did you go yesterday?" The Sichuan girl recovered quickly and asked.

Lin Mo opened the refrigerator, took out a can of Coke, touched it, it wasn't very cold, but it was still okay, a bit colder than room temperature. He opened it and took a sip, saying, "I went to my cousin's house for a meal, but I didn't expect there to be a power outage here. Sister Yuan said you went to an internet cafe all night last night? Why are you up so early?"

The three of them had known each other for a long time. In the past, after staying up all night, none of them would wake up until after 5 p.m., so today was unusual.

"I have to wake up. The room is like a stuffy can. You know how we men are. We can handle the cold, but we really can't stand the heat. And the upstairs is different from our dorm. The power went out and the water went out too. We can't even take a shower," Chuanmei said helplessly.

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh and say, "Silly, why don't you two go back to the dorm when the power's out? It's not like there's no air conditioning over there."

“That’s so far! The sun is so strong outside. I’d rather endure it and go back when it cools down at night,” Wang said confidently.

Lin Mo: "It's cool at night, so why go back?"

Wang Chu:
Sichuan girl:.
It has to be said that where there is a sleeping dragon, there will be a phoenix chick; fools can only play with fools.

"By the way, I ran into Zhao Tingting when I went to the academic affairs office to collect my subsidy today. It looks like the school is going to investigate," Lin Mo said while drinking his cola.

Upon hearing this, both Chuanmei and Director Wang quickly came over, especially Director Wang, who spoke up somewhat anxiously:

"How is she? Is she alright?"

Lin Mo glanced at him, a half-smile on her face, and said, "It's not very good. Why don't you call her and comfort her?"

"Well, never mind then, I was just asking," Director Wang said, waving his hand repeatedly as he looked at him with the same eyes that seemed to be looking at a sycophant.

"Tch, don't worry about it. They've already called the police, so there should be an explanation soon. But even if they find the person, so what? Some things are done and done. Today, they even suspect that we're involved, so you should just give up!" Lin Mo said with a sneer.

"Is this person crazy? Suspecting us? Is she out of her mind?" Upon hearing this, Chuanmei immediately lost her temper.

Lin Mo smiled at this and then briefly recounted what had happened when he returned to school that afternoon.

"That's not right. It's understandable that she suspects Director Wang, after all, a simp is rejected and might do anything in a fit of anger. But why would she suspect you?" After listening, Chuanmei immediately noticed the inconsistency.

Before he could finish speaking, Director Wang punched the Sichuan girl: "Get lost! I'm not a simp. Besides, do you think I'm that petty? So what if I get rejected? It's no big deal."

Chuanmei scoffed at this and gave him a disdainful look. She wondered who had dragged him to the event in the first place, and he was already furious.
“There’s something you might not know. The day Sister Yuan arrived, I went to the city, and I saw her sell the gold jewelry that Zhou Yong had given her at a jewelry store. She also noticed me. Maybe because of this, she thinks I’m a suspect,” Lin Mo explained.

He hadn't planned to tell anyone at first, but now that he was being suspected, there was nothing he couldn't say.

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl looked disdainful: "The only use of an expensive gift from a simp is to cash in, right? It can't be treated as a treasure, can it?"
However, it's not without its advantages. At least you can rest assured, Director Wang, that lipstick you gave me definitely won't be sold, because secondhand ones aren't worth much anyway.

And if she uses it, you'll have a bit of a sense of participation when she's making out with her new boyfriend, wouldn't that be great!

Wang Chu:
Lin Mo:
It has to be said, Sichuan girls have a really sharp tongue; it's like their mouths are coated with honey. They majored in C programming, but some people are just naturally gifted. "Who wants to eat my mouth?"

Just then, Miss Yuan walked in, dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts. Her hair was tousled, clearly freshly styled, and she wore slippers, looking very relaxed.

"You're done washing so quickly?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat surprised.

Although he had never experienced it, he knew that girls take long showers, but Miss Yuan finished very quickly after he came down.

"It's just a shower, it doesn't take that long. Hurry up and tell us, who wants to be gossiped about?" Miss Yuan said excitedly, she was most enthusiastic about gossip.

Upon hearing this, before he could even speak, the Sichuan girl recounted everything in detail.

"Huh? Is that how it is? Xiao Wang, you need to be more open-minded. This is clearly not a good cabbage. If you can avoid it, then don't. Otherwise, you might end up turning from Xiao Wang into a little turtle. Be careful!"

Miss Yuan patted Director Wang on the shoulder to comfort him.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and then asked, "Hey, has the class monitor sent you any messages lately?"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was stunned for a moment: "It's been posted. I woke up from the heat today, and when I looked at my phone, she asked me if I was dead."

Lin Mo:
"forget it."

What's the point of playing this game? Judging from Wang Jing's reaction yesterday, she at least has some ulterior motives. After all, a person's subconscious reaction doesn't lie.

Even if he had those thoughts, his way of speaking made him feel it was unlikely. Dating isn't like dating a virgin; asking someone if they're dead right off the bat was absurd. No wonder he hadn't noticed anything amiss in three years, let alone someone like Director Wang whose mind was always on other people.

"This is boring. Let's go upstairs and play a couple of rounds. Once it cools down, we'll drive to eat. I found a farmhouse restaurant online with a super nice atmosphere." Miss Yuan had caught up on her sleep, taken a shower, and was full of energy again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head: "I won't go. I have to go back to the city later and stay there for two days. I'll bring the medicine with me when I come back this time."

As they spoke, Lin Mo got up and took out two days' worth of medicine from the refrigerator, preparing for his grand plan to make a fortune.

"Are you going back? What for? Is it fun?" Yuan Meng asked curiously.

Lin Mo sighed: "Go get a job."

"Working? You're still short of money? What are you planning to resell?" Yuanmeng asked.

She didn't believe Lin Mo would work and earn money honestly. Although he didn't have much money, he still had a few hundred thousand, so the probability of him reselling things was not small, just like that Angong Niuhuang Wan.

"You're really just going to work for someone else? Don't you even know what a craftsman is?"

"Are you a proper craftsman? Left-handed or right-handed?"

Lin Mo:
Twenty minutes later, Lin Mo and Miss Yuan appeared downstairs.

"No, you're going back to the city too?"

"Well, I'll go back and stay for two days. There have been frequent power outages here lately. I'll go back and observe before making a decision," Miss Yuan said.

She felt that the voltage in this place had been unstable recently, and without air conditioning, the temperature was so low that she was having a hard time surviving.

“That’s perfect, I’ll hitch a ride with McLaren too,” Lin Mo said with a smile.

Almost no one, regardless of gender, can resist these supercars; they're truly cool, especially when driven in crowded areas, they attract a lot of attention.

"Alright, today I'll show you what speed is all about. Get in the car!" Miss Yuan agreed readily, determined to let him experience what it means to fly.

Lin Mo then got into the passenger seat of the supercar, and the car slowly drove out of the residential area.

Once on the main road, Miss Yuan immediately increased the car's speed.

"Wasn't it awesome? Wuhu~"

"Slow down, it's too fast, safety first," Lin Mo quickly reminded from the passenger seat. He just wanted to experience the feeling of sitting in a supercar, not to race.

"Tch, what are you afraid of?" Although she said that, Miss Yuan still slowed down the car. Then, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you said you had something to tell me. What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten the most important thing: this was the real big spender.

"What's wrong with him? Is he brain-damaged?" Miss Yuan complained, looking at him like this.

Lin Mo lowered his hand and quickly said, "Sister Yuan, although it's a bit presumptuous of me, but..."

"If you feel it's presumptuous, then don't say it."

Lin Mo:
You're not playing by the rules!

"I'm not being presumptuous at all."

"Then tell me."

"Lend me some money, I just need it for short-term cash flow. I'll pay you back in a few days, and I can give you an IOU," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Yuan Meng: "Borrow money? Isn't that presumptuous? Just tell me, how much?"

Although she said that, Miss Yuan was just complaining. She asked for a loan, but given their past relationship in fighting the traitor surnamed Dong together, it was still possible. After all, even her mother thought he was a good person.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and decided that he couldn't just say hundreds of millions, since that number was practically a joke, as you can see from Liu Ruyan's example. But he also couldn't say too little, because he wouldn't be satisfied with that. After a little thought, he still came up with the most ideal number.

"Ten million, what do you think?"

Before she could finish speaking, Miss Yuan slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road: "You lousy fellow, how dare you be so presumptuous! Get out of the car!"

Lin Mo:
