Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 64: Chapter 59: Nearly Two Million in Cash Assets

Because I slept a bit late last night.

Lu Li didn’t get up until noon.

When he went downstairs, he found out Liu Kexin had already gone to work.

In the end, it was the nanny named ”Aunt Huang” who drove Lu Li to the company.

Oh, the company’s Camry got hit by some punks and is temporarily being repaired. Probably won’t have a car to use for the next few days.

Just arrived at the company.

The e-commerce sales department,

When Lu Li walked in, the colleagues were having lunch.

As soon as they saw him come in, they all immediately turned their heads to look.

Xiaoqing was the first to stand up, ”Deputy Manager Lu, is everything okay from last night?”

As she spoke, she walked towards Lu Li, her face full of concern.

”Hey, what could possibly happen to the boss?” Xiaozhao stood up with admiration, ”Didn’t I just tell you all what happened last night? Besides, it’s in the news. You can check the reports.”

Unlike Xiaoqing’s attitude.

Though Xiaozhao said that,

his demeanor seemed a bit distant.

He no longer dared to ask for a ride as before.

Now he stood far away, looking as if he was afraid of something.

Xiaomei, somewhat incredulous, picked up a newspaper, ”Deputy Manager Lu, you’re amazing! The news says you took on over a dozen armed thugs without a scratch. How did you do it?”

Brother Cheng widened his eyes, ”Is it true what Xiaozhao said? Are you a martial arts grandmaster?”

Li Shishi, Qian Yu, and others couldn’t stop asking questions.

Each person’s face was filled with deep curiosity.

This group of people seemed undeterred, gathering around Lu Li.

Only Xiaozhao still stood outside the crowd, his gaze a mix of admiration and fear.

No wonder they were so curious.

One person took on over a dozen armed thugs.

How could they not be surprised?

Of course, they didn’t know about Lu Li taking apart a car bare-handed, let alone ”controlling flying needles.”

For one thing, Xiaozhao knew discretion, not revealing Lu Li’s ”inner strength” to anyone.

Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and those security personnel were subtly warned during the reports not to speak about Lu Li taking apart a car bare-handed.

As for Vice President Du, though he saw it, he was too busy avoiding Lu Li to spread the word.

Secondly, it wasn’t mentioned in the news.

Clearly, the police didn’t want people to know about it.

Lu Li naturally noticed Xiaozhao’s odd behavior.

He didn’t directly answer everyone’s questions.

After all, if he answered truthfully, it might reveal even more secrets.

He pretended to be surprised and said, ”Oh wow, I made the papers? Let me see.”

Xiaomei quickly handed the newspaper over.

Lu Li took a look and found out it was on a well-known paper like Yangzi Daily.

He glanced at the headline: ”Heroic Young Man Single-Handedly Fights Dozens of Armed Thugs.”

Lu Li scanned the content.

He found the article mainly called for resistance against social violence.

There was very little about how he subdued over a dozen armed thugs alone.

As he was reading the newspaper, Old Zhu popped up from nowhere and, holding a phone, said, ”Deputy Manager Lu, take a look at the comments on our live feed promo video.”

”What’s up?”

”Are people insulting us?”

Xiaoqing and Li Shishi thought it was work-related.

Lu Li thought the same.

But when he leaned in, he found it was completely different.

The comments were all from curious netizens discussing last night’s events.

”Wow! Great God Lu Li is that awesome?”

”Single-handedly took on over a dozen armed thugs?”

”Goodness, I was dumbfounded when I saw the news this morning. Great God Lu Li is legendary, first winning the big eater competition and breaking records, then helping the police solve a dismemberment and corpse disposal case, and now he faced down dozens of armed thugs and got away unharmed?”

”Awesome! Totally awesome!”

”Great God Lu Li, are you streaming tonight? Tell us how you fought off so many armed thugs alone.”

”Yeah, we demand Great God Lu Li stream and reveal the real story.”

Lu Li casually glanced and found that under the promo video recorded by that Fierce Flame Babe, there were over ten thousand comments all asking if he would stream tonight to talk about last night’s events.

He couldn’t help but sweat a little, realizing he was famous again.

Lu Li genuinely felt a bit amused.

He always wanted to keep a low profile.

Last night, he got too excited seeing two walking soft-girl coins.

The result was too sensational.

Now he couldn’t keep low-key anymore.

Oh well.

If he’s famous, so be it.

Anyway, his physical condition was getting stronger and stronger.

He even developed the skill of controlling flying needles with spiritual power.

He had some self-defense capabilities now.

He didn’t mind being known by others.

Besides, Xiaozhao kept things under wraps.

For now, not many people knew what was going on.

Lu Li chatted with his colleagues for a bit before heading into his office.

...

Perhaps because the incident last night was too sensational.

In the afternoon, colleagues from other departments kept coming over to catch a glimpse.

Unfortunately, Lu Li was hiding in his office, and they didn’t see him.

Actually, Lu Li intentionally stayed in his office without coming out.

After all, with his hearing, how could he not hear the commotion?

”Well, with how sensational last night’s events were, I don’t think I can stay in this company much longer.”

Lu Li understood clearly in his heart.

He knew after so much had happened,

he no longer seemed ordinary in the eyes of his colleagues.

If he continued to stay in the company, they’d surely see him as an oddball.

Like Xiaozhao, who instinctively became fearful after witnessing those ”supernatural scenes.”

Moreover, Lu Li understood that his secrets, after last night’s events, were half-revealed.

He suspected that a special department might have already started taking notice, possibly even tracking him soon.

In this situation, staying at the company would neither be beneficial for him nor the company.

”Alright, I’ve made quite a bit of money recently. I should find an opportunity to resign.”

Lu Li made up his mind.

He wanted to talk to Liu Kexin in the evening, then resign and quit.

Speaking of money,

how come the bounty still hasn’t come through?

Although he knew under normal circumstances, the bounty wouldn’t come through so quickly, Captain Qian had promised to put in a good word, so it should process faster.

For this reason, Lu Li was eagerly hoping for the money to come through soon.

Time ticked by.

Soon it was time to clock out.

At the time, Lu Li thought maybe the money wouldn’t come through today.

He was about to pack up and catch a ride home with Liu Kexin to discuss his resignation.

Unexpectedly, just as he was organizing his files, his phone beeped with a notification.

As if some message had come in.

Initially, Lu Li didn’t pay much attention, thinking it might be spam.

But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the message was from the Agricultural Bank, and he got excited.

”The bounty must have come through!”

Lu Li quickly picked up his phone, clicking his tongue, ”Captain Qian is really something. He said he’d talk to the higher-ups for me, and it’s been less than twenty-four hours, and the bounty’s already been credited to my account?”

Still unsure if it was true.

He unlocked the phone.

Opened the message.

Only to see the message read: [Huaxia Agricultural Bank] Your account ending in 3688 completed a deposit transaction of 900,000.00 RMB on May 23 at 17:02, with a balance of 1,779,682.88 RMB.

It’s here!

The 900,000 bounty came through!

In less than a day.

The bounty amount was already credited?

Does Captain Qian really have such influence?

Frankly, Lu Li found it a bit hard to believe.

But now that the money was here, he was overjoyed and didn’t spend time pondering over it.

Lu Li was thrilled, ”Haha, my cash assets finally surpassed a million, almost reaching two million. With this much money, I can pay in full for a Porsche 911 during my break the day after tomorrow!”

Thinking of soon owning a luxury car like a Porsche 911, Lu Li couldn’t contain his happiness.

Once I own a Porsche 911, who would still care for that lousy Camry?

I have to say, the super ability to see images through scent detection is really useful.

If it weren’t for this combo of superpowers, I wouldn’t have discovered the BMW on the other road and couldn’t have caught the two fugitives Yuan Chu and Miao Feng.

Now, using this skill, he’s instantly made 900,000—it’s simply exhilarating.
