Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.

Old Li taught with great care, and Lin Jianshen learned very quickly.

He can grasp the rules of cargo coding and the operation of warehouse management systems very quickly.

During this period, he successfully passed Wang Yong's practical skills assessment, and his work was on track.

For safety and mutual supervision reasons, the warehouse operates on a two-person team system.

Lin Jianshen and Lao Li were always on the same shift, and as they spent more time together, they naturally started talking more.

The two quickly became acquainted and could be considered friends.

Lin Jianshen didn't squander the 15,000 yuan "reward for finding the dog" that Xu Yan gave him.

He found a reputable educational training institution online and inquired about upgrading his academic qualifications.

Based on his situation and needs, the other party recommended a program from the Open University of China.

Chinese Language and Literature major, admission without examination.

All classes are online. If you have enough time to complete the required study hours and pass the exams smoothly, you can get your bachelor's degree in two and a half years.

Lin Jianshen used that money to pay his tuition.

When Old Li saw him taking online classes, he said, "Young man, it's a good thing that you have ideas and are willing to strive for advancement!"

"From now on, when you're at work and studying, I'll cover any odd jobs you need. I'll only call on you if I get too busy."

In fact, for Lin Jianshen, who had received higher education in his previous life, these courses were not very difficult.

He certainly wouldn't let Lao Li take on the work alone.

He was young and strong, and whenever there was a need to move heavy objects, he would always volunteer to do it.

Old Li became increasingly satisfied with his reliable and hardworking partner.

The food in the cafeteria is very good, with a wide variety of meat and vegetables, and it's free.

Lin Jianshen always ate a lot, and coupled with the fact that he often had to carry heavy objects, his already burly physique quickly became muscular.

One day in late August, Lin Jianshen finished get off work, changed out of his work clothes, and walked out of the locker room when his phone rang.

It was Sun Jian calling.

The sea breeze whistled past me.

He walked to a sheltered spot and pressed the answer button.

"Brother, I'm retiring from this life."

Sun Jian laughed heartily into the receiver: "Ah Shen, this deal is very interesting, you'll definitely be interested."

He seemed to be on a terrace somewhere, where the wind was strong, making the receiver whistle.

"If I get rich, I'll definitely make you rich too. Whether you like it or not... I'm doing this for your own good."

Lin Jianshen was silent for a moment, then asked, "How much money do you want to collect from this order?"

Sun Jian yawned lazily, seemingly turning to the person beside him and saying, "Stop doing this, I'm exhausted, let's take a break."

A woman's soft laughter came from the other end.

Sun Jian hissed softly and gasped, "I told you not to do it."

Then came the woman's indistinct laughter.

Sun Jian coughed awkwardly twice before replying, "It's a small order, probably around 100,000."

Lin Jianshen remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing something.

Sun Jian waited patiently.

Lin Jianshen finally said, "Okay, send me the relevant information."

Sun Jian cautioned, "Don't be reckless, bring your underlings with you."

The phone hangs up.

About ten minutes later, Sun Jian sent an address, including the house number.

A few seconds later, another picture was sent.

"This one is hard to find. Please compare with the pictures."

"I'll take 100,000. After that, come find me at the usual place."

Lin Jianshen walked forward with his head down for a while, then sat on the pier, quietly watching the sea.

The lights on the pier were already on, reflecting on the dark blue sea.

The salty sea breeze was a bit rough, making my face sting slightly.

Just as I was lost in thought, my phone rang again.

It was Song Siyuan calling: "Brother Biao, Brother Jian messaged me saying there's work to be done."

"The house number has been sent to my phone."

He told me to come find you, where are you?

Lin Jianshen said, "I'll send my address to your phone too. Call me when you get nearby, and I'll come pick you up on my bike."

An hour and a half later, Lin Jianshen received Song Siyuan.

Lin Jianshen wore a motorcycle helmet himself and tossed the Meituan Waimai helmet to Song Siyuan.

Looking at the helmet in his hand, Song Siyuan clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Biao, you really went to deliver food?"

"Alright, although the money comes quickly here, it's too dangerous, so the frequency of work shouldn't be too high."

"Delivering food is good, at least it's safe."

Lin Jianshen asked, "You know it's dangerous, and you still want to do this with me?"

Song Siyuan smiled and said, "I can't help it, I'm your little brother, whatever you do, I have to follow along."

"But Brother Biao, I remember you said last time that you wanted to retire from the criminal life."

Lin Jianshen sighed: "It's not that easy."

"Since Sun Jian took the initiative to call me, he didn't give me any room to refuse."

Song Siyuan lit a cigarette and stood a little further away from Lin Jianshen.

He took a deep breath, and a speck of scarlet on his fingertip suddenly brightened and then quickly dimmed in the night.

Smoke drifted from Song Siyuan's nostrils: "That's true, Brother Jian is a man who cares a lot about his reputation."

"If we refuse him, he definitely won't let it go."

"Brother Biao, what are your plans?"

Lin Jianshen spread his hands: "Let's take it one step at a time."

"Let's go, time to get to work."

Song Siyuan took two more deep drags, threw away the cigarette butt, and crushed it with his shoe.

Only then did he put on the Meituan Waimai helmet.

Lin Jianshen set up navigation on his phone, mounted it on the handlebar bracket of the motorcycle, and sped away.

I rode my bike for another hour or so.

The two then arrived at a seaside village.

The cool moonlight outlined the village.

The roads in this village are well-maintained; the cement roads look quite decent.

However, the hollowing out of the city is very serious, and the labor force has been siphoned off by Donghai City, resulting in many houses being abandoned.

The courtyard wall had collapsed, and the area was overgrown with weeds taller than a person, swaying in the night wind and making a rustling sound.

On the rooftops of some villagers' self-built two- or three-story houses, you can still see solar water heaters.

Silently crouching on the eaves, reflecting the moonlight.

This old-fashioned water heater either produces water that is not hot enough or that is scalding hot.

It has long been outdated by the times.

Song Siyuan clicked his tongue: "Brother Biao, this place is quite suitable for filming period dramas or ghost movies."

Lin Jianshen opened the photos sent by Sun Jian, compared the storefronts repeatedly, and finally stopped in front of a house.

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit uneasy.

Because it's 2025 already, and this person is still living in a tile-roofed house.

The gate to the courtyard is still the old-fashioned double wooden door typical of rural areas.

Time passes silently, yet leaves its mark everywhere.

The door panels were weathered and pitted, clearly indicating that they had been there for many years.

Judging by age alone, the two of them might even have to call out to this door, "Brother."

The door gods pasted on the door had also faded, their gray eyes glaring at the two uninvited guests in front of them.

Based on their experience, debt collection from such households is extremely difficult.

Lin Jianshen nodded to Song Siyuan.

Song Siyuan pulled down the visor of his Meituan delivery helmet and banged on the door.

"Thump, thump, thump."

There was no response from inside the door.

Song Siyuan increased the pressure on his hands.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Inside the courtyard, the window on the side of the main house finally lit up.

Lin Jianshen peeked through the crack in the door and saw the dim light.

An impatient male voice rang out: "Who is it? It's the middle of the night, can't a person get some sleep?"

"We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Thump, thump, thump."

Song Siyuan continued knocking on the door.

The sound was very clear in the quiet night.

Lin Jianshen faintly heard the little girl's sleepy voice: "Daddy, who is it?"

"It's okay, Dad will go out and take a look. You can go back to sleep."

Footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.
