Chapter 296 Bargaining and Settling the Identity

Herman had just finished a day's work and was about to go to bed.

The phone that was on the bedside table suddenly rang.

Hermann muttered impatiently:

"It's so late, who's being so annoying?"

However, when Herman picked up his phone and looked closely...

It turned out to be Li Yuan calling.

He hurriedly answered the phone, feigning concern as he asked:

"Mr. Li Yuan, how's the situation in Grantham? Is it going well?"

He had barely finished speaking when Li Yuan's resentful voice came through the phone:

"Hermann! Don't think I don't know what your church is up to!"

"Giving me such a dangerous commission, isn't it just a way to use evil hands to get rid of me?"

Hermann felt a slight tremor in his heart as he listened to Li Yuan's question.

This is bad. Is this guy going to turn on us?

He quickly said:

"Mr. Li Yuan, you've misunderstood. Please let me explain..."

"Explanation my ass!"

Li Yuan shouted angrily, rudely interrupting Hermann's words.

Then he questioned:

"That's an immortal being that has lived for 300 years!"

Why didn't you provide me with even a single clue?

Hearing Li Yuan's question, Herman chuckled and replied:

"Uh... I'm sorry, Mr. Li Yuan, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense! If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"

Interrupted again by Li Yuan, Herman could only ask helplessly:

"So... Mr. Li Yuan, what are your plans?"

"You need to pay more!"

Hermann rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

But since 500 million has already been spent, let's just add some points; it's not his money.

"No problem, Mr. Li Yuan, we will compensate you with another 100 million yuan for emotional distress."

A pleased smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips, and he added:

"Next time this happens, remember to provide me with detailed clues and information!"

"Okay, Mr. Li Yuan."

As Hermann agreed, he asked in a low voice:

"So when are you going to make your move?"

"It's all resolved."

"Oh, already..."

Hermann's eyes widened as he asked, "It's resolved?"

He couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"You're really ripping me off by asking for more money after solving the problem!"

"Yes, it's been resolved. Remember to transfer the money to your card."

"Okay... alright."

As Hermann agreed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he made a request:

"Now that the problem is solved, you must remember to bring back a token to prove that you have completed this task."

Li Yuan frowned and asked:

"Sheriff Burke can testify for me, is that not enough?"

Hermann said to Li Yuan with a regretful tone:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Yuan, we only believe physical evidence."

"All right."

Li Yuan nodded, took out the linen cloth, and said to Herman in a deep voice:

"I will bring the token back tomorrow."

"Alright, see you tomorrow, Mr. Li Yuan."

Herman breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said goodbye to Li Yuan.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan sneered and casually placed the phone on the bedside table.

Then he took off his coat, intending to go to bed to rest.

But just then, the doorknob of the guest room was suddenly turned.

It made a soft 'click' sound.

In the quiet room, Li Yuan immediately noticed the faint sound.

Li Yuan's heart sank, and he thought to himself:

"Are there still monsters left to be eliminated?"

The next second, the guest room door was slowly pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a wide white skirt caught Li Yuan's eye.

What followed was Grace's somewhat aloof face.

Seeing this, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly:

"What's wrong, Grace? Is something bothering you?"

As a person from the 17th century,

Grace was unfamiliar with many modern things.

This also caused her a lot of trouble.

However, Grace did not respond; she simply walked straight over.

He lay down on Li Yuan's bed without a second thought.

Li Yuan glanced at her, puzzled.

Upon discovering that the other person had already closed their eyes, he shook his head helplessly.

"Looks like the bed next door isn't as comfortable as mine?"

Li Yuan smiled, picked up his phone, and then turned around.

I plan to rest in Grace's room next door.

But just then, Grace suddenly grabbed Li Yuan's sleeve.

She stared intently at him, seemingly unwilling to let him leave.

Li Yuan then realized that this guy wanted him to sleep with her!

Li Yuan stared blankly at Grace for a moment, realizing that she didn't seem to have any intention of letting go.

So he could only nod and say:

"Okay, okay, just for tonight."

Consider this a perk of joining the Holy Light Cult.

With that, Li Yuan put his phone back on the bedside table and lay down next to Grace.

Seeing Li Yuan lying beside her, Grace immediately showed a faint smile.

She turned to the side, carefully took Li Yuan's arm, and slowly closed her eyes.

Feeling Grace's icy body temperature, Li Yuan chuckled to himself, thinking to himself:

"That's just me. If an ordinary person were hugged like that all night, they'd definitely get arthritis."

Then he closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

10 a.m. the following morning.

After completing Grace's identity verification, Sheriff Burke drove his patrol car back to the Tilden morgue.

After handing Grace's identification information to Li Yuan, Sheriff Burke asked with concern:

"Mr. Li Yuan, how are you getting back to Los Angeles? Let me give you a ride?"

"No need, Burke, I have transportation to the airport."

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, declining Burke's offer.

Then he expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you so much for what happened to Grace."

"This is nothing."

When Burke saw that Li Yuan refused, he did not insist further.

Instead, she smiled and said goodbye to Li Yuan:

"I'll be going now. Remember to call me next time you come to Grantham."

"I will."

Seeing Burke leave, Li Yuan got up and put away Grace's identity information:

"Now that our identification is sorted out, we should head out."

Tommy kindly escorted Li Yuan and his companion to the door.

Some people were curious about what kind of transportation Li Yuan had.

He had heard Burke mention yesterday that the two of them had arrived in the same car.

Just as he was lost in thought,

With a wave of his right hand, Li Yuan conjured up a gleaming golden motorcycle beside him!

This sudden turn of events immediately made Tommy's eyes widen:

"My God..."

Li Yuan didn't notice Tommy's expression behind him, but instead instructed Grace:

"You'll be straddling me in a bit..."

Halfway through his sentence, Li Yuan glanced at Grace's long dress.

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"You can sit sideways for a bit."

As he spoke, Li Yuan stopped again.

He slapped his forehead and muttered a curse under his breath:

"What an idiot."

With a pat, he transformed the Holy Light Motorcycle into a three-wheeled motorcycle with a sidecar.

Grace and Tommy stared wide-eyed at the motorcycle that was changing its shape.

Although Grace didn't know what this thing was,

But she subconsciously felt that this thing must be a very precious magical item.

Tommy, on the other hand, was at a loss for words.

He discovered that his jaw had become dislocated because he had opened his mouth too wide.

Li Yuan pointed to the side chamber and said to Grace:

"Get in, it's time for us to go."

Grace nodded excitedly and sat obediently in the golden side chamber.

At this moment, Li Yuan turned around and saw Tommy with his mouth agape.

Goodbye, Tommy!

Li Yuan waved his hand, then rode his Holy Light motorcycle slowly away from Tommy's house.

Tommy, unable to close his mouth, kept making "ah ah" noises, too anxious to utter a sound.
