Granting Official Posts to Apocalypse Heroes

Chapter18

Her gaze drifted forward, a spark of intrigue lighting up her eyes, accompanied by the faintest curl of a smile on her lips. "He's not the one, but I suspect he knows who the person with the metal ability is."

Song Linwei actually knew the identity of the metal-wielder?!

Hao Jingye's posture stiffened, urgency coloring his voice, "Sister Sheng, shouldn't we continue interrogating him?"

Sheng An shook her head thoughtfully. "He's astute. From the start, he hasn't lied because he knows we'd detect it. He knows how to navigate through our questions without getting caught."

They were all seasoned interrogation experts.

If Song Linwei had lied, they would have detected it instantly.

So, he chose to obscure the truth, only revealing what he wanted to disclose. His logic was impeccable, making it nearly impossible to find any inconsistencies.

Breaking someone like him was no easy feat.

They had methods to make him talk, but such actions would destroy any potential relationship.

That wasn't the optimal path.

There was no rush; she had alternative strategies.

Hao Jingye did not press further. His expression was a mix of admiration and curiosity as he asked, "Sister Sheng, how did you figure it out?"

He was a prodigy in his own right.

But just now, he hadn't seen what Sister Sheng had.

Incredible!

If only he could learn this skill...

Sheng An responded with a single word, "Intuition."

Hao Jingye: "..."

Alright, nothing to learn here.

Countdown: 19 days.

The state intervened, and Li Wanyun's visa was expedited with remarkable efficiency.

Hao Jingye met with her to deliver the news.

Li Wanyun was taken aback, "It's done so quickly? No interview required?!"

Hao Jingye's smile was enigmatic, "I told you, we have connections. Otherwise, how could we justify charging you 150,000 yuan?"

For a mere visa, such a fee was exorbitant.

Li Wanyun remained somewhat skeptical.

Hao Jingye produced the contract and addressed her with a serious tone, "You are straightforward, willing to spend 150,000 yuan for a visa. You must be well-off. We aren't worried you'll default on the agency fee. You can choose to pay after you arrive in the United States."

This was indeed a sincere gesture.

Li Wanyun took the contract. The terms were simple and transparent, with no hidden clauses. It only stipulated that she could choose to pay after arriving in the United States. If the visa did not allow her to leave or enter the country, she wouldn't owe any fees.

Of course, it also emphasized that she must purchase a ticket to the United States within half a month.

Everything was reasonable and legal.

She scrutinized it several times and confirmed—

This person was indeed trustworthy.

This contract was designed to ease her concerns, a "use first, pay later" assurance agreement.

Li Wanyun: "The service is quite impressive."

Hao Jingye adjusted his glasses, his demeanor professional and courteous:

"Of course, although our prices are steep, we provide the best service to our clients. That's our agency's principle."

Li Wanyun signed the contract and took her copy.

Hearing this, she felt a sense of reassurance.

Hao Jingye also secured the contract and deliberately inquired, "Is there anything else you need?"

Li Wanyun lowered her voice, "Can you exchange for U.S. dollars?"

"Certainly." Hao Jingye's smile remained unwavering, very official.

—This was all part of their plan.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Wanyun said, "The amount is substantial. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Hao Jingye: "Absolutely. As long as the agency fee is paid, everything can be arranged."

"Fifty billion, too?"

Hao Jingye paused deliberately.

Then he exaggeratedly gasped and raised his voice, "Fifty billion?!"

Li Wanyun's expression remained calm, her eyes behind the sunglasses glinting slightly. "Yes, fifty billion. Can you exchange it? And quickly."

Hao Jingye hesitated for a moment.

Then he gritted his teeth, "Yes, but the agency fee will be very high, and the exchange rate will be lower than the official rate."

Li Wanyun remained composed, but she inwardly breathed a long sigh of relief.

Perfect!

They could actually exchange it!

Regarding the exchange rate, if he had said they could exchange at the official rate, she would have been suspicious.

Now, it only confirmed her suspicion—

This "Xiao Ye" came from an unofficial but highly capable channel.

Fear?

Someone planning to go abroad to purchase heavy weapons on the black market couldn't possibly be afraid.

Instead, this confirmed their capability to her even more.

In such a short time, going abroad, exchanging fifty billion currency, etc., if done through official channels without special privileges, how could it be accomplished?

(Hao Jingye: ...Thank you, we do have special privileges.)

Li Wanyun smiled, "No problem. How do we proceed?"

Hao Jingye took her to an official bank.

In less than three hours, fifty billion, minus the agency fee, was all exchanged into U.S. dollars, safely deposited in her account.

Incredibly efficient.

—This special agency was even more capable than she had imagined!

Li Wanyun was stunned, her expression somewhat dazed.

She murmured, "What kind of agency are you?"

Hao Jingye smiled slightly, "Our boss has connections at the top."

Li Wanyun understood.

Confused, shocked, then ecstatic, she looked at the currency in her account and lowered her voice:

"What about loans? How much can you get me?"

After a pause, she added, "Don't worry about the agency fee."

Hao Jingye looked at her and also lowered his voice, "Darling, however much you have, we can loan you that amount. But for very large amounts, our loan period is short."

Li Wanyun almost laughed out loud.

The apocalypse was coming in 19 days. As long as the loan period exceeded that, who could ask her for the money?

She suppressed her smile and asked again:

"Can you really loan fifty billion? I have plans for this fifty billion and can't use it as collateral."

Hao Jingye: "No problem. You have fifty billion, so you obviously have ways to make money. We aren't worried you can't repay. As long as you accept high interest rates and provide collateral, I can get you fifty billion."

Li Wanyun looked at him.

She didn't miss the flash of light in his eyes.

—She understood!

She had fifty billion, so "Xiao Ye" and the people behind him believed in her assets and earning ability.

They were offering her "high-interest loans," hoping to keep this golden goose in their hands!

They might even be eyeing her fifty billion.

Understanding this, securing a fifty billion loan didn't seem unreasonable.

They probably didn't believe she would quickly spend one hundred billion, right?

And high-interest loans?

In 19 days, when the apocalypse came, everything would be void!

Li Wanyun smiled, "Let's do it."

Hao Jingye's smile widened imperceptibly.

Sister Sheng had been right.

Although their plan had many loopholes, Li Wanyun, who had experienced the apocalypse and was reborn, was not someone who considered gains and losses from others' perspectives.

She preferred to consider gains and losses from her own perspective.

In this way, as long as it benefited her and satisfied her "demands," she would rationalize everything and quickly achieve her goals.

Three hours later.

She mortgaged her property and "borrowed" fifty billion from the official bank.

Moreover, Xiao Ye exchanged it all into U.S. dollars, now quietly lying in her overseas account.

Of course, she also mortgaged her only property—the villa she had fortified into a bunker.

She had invested heavily in that villa.

But it was far from worth two billion. She didn't lose out.

And when the apocalypse came, everything would be void, and it would still be her house.

Li Wanyun had this confidence and assurance.

Looking at the balance, she murmured, "You guys are really capable, getting everything done, and fifty billion so quickly..."

Hao Jingye smiled slightly, "As long as you spend money, we can get anything done."

He added, "Of course, we only serve premium clients. You are a VVVIP, so I have the authority to help you apply. If you were just an ordinary customer, we wouldn't take the job."

Li Wanyun understood.

—They were after her money.

But it didn't matter. This time, they were destined to come up empty-handed.

Who knew the apocalypse was coming?

Who knew she was a reborn with space abilities?

Li Wanyun's smile widened.

She was grateful she had found the right "channel."

Was she really the chosen one?

Buying grain wasn't going smoothly, but she immediately found another way, and everything she needed came to her.

It was because buying grain wasn't going smoothly that she could have one hundred billion.

Worth it!

—The heavens didn't let her be reborn for nothing.

Everything was settled, and Li Wanyun, not entirely trusting "Xiao Ye" and worried about the money, decisively bought the earliest ticket and went directly to the United States.

Stocking up on supplies and buying weapons, she needed to spend the money quickly!

Xiao Ye drove her to the airport.

Li Wanyun waved, carrying nothing, and boarded the plane gracefully.

As the plane was about to take off, looking at the land below, Li Wanyun finally showed a bright smile.

Everything was different now.

Reborn, everything was going smoothly.

She could buy one hundred billion worth of supplies and store them in her space. When the apocalypse came, she would be the wealthiest person in the world, able to easily deal with Li Qiancheng and his group.

Her space had everything, and she would live a completely different life from her previous one...

Reborn, she would be the protagonist of the world.

—This was the treatment of the chosen one!

In this world, who dared to compete with her?

Li Wanyun raised her chin and casually opened her phone. The friend request just now had been accepted.

[Special Agency USA Guide Xiao Wan: Hi, darling.]

Meanwhile.

Hao Jingye drove swiftly to pick someone up.

"Sister Sheng, Li Wanyun is on the plane. Old Zhao is on the plane and will ensure her safety. Team 0 is waiting for her, and Brother Wan has successfully made contact with her. Everything is going smoothly." Hao Jingye's voice was filled with excitement.

Sheng An nodded calmly.

Clearly, she didn't consider this matter to be of significant concern.

Li Wanyun was already a fish in their pond, unable to escape. She would follow their plan step by step.

When she returned with the "goods," it would be time for them to close the net.

Her fingers swiped across the tablet, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Sister Sheng, what's wrong?" Hao Jingye asked, puzzled.
