The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 158. Punctuation marks must be memorized.

Lin Guiying looked at Lin Guojun with a hint of sympathy in her eyes and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You're welcome."

They were poor back then, and the two of them shared a towel. She thought the old man was dirty, so she had to wash it every morning before using it to wipe her face. Little did she know that he always thought she was washing it for him on purpose.

Lin Guojun will never know the truth in his life. He picked up a towel, wiped his face, and sighed happily, "Ah, this is the taste of love."

Lin Guiying wasn't the only one who disliked her husband. Wu Jingshu saw her husband gulping down porridge, completely forgetting what she had done the day before, and took the bowl away with a look of disgust.

Fu Wenyuan looked completely bewildered. "I haven't finished eating yet."

"Wait until I finish speaking, then you can eat."

Wu Jingshu recounted what had happened yesterday, and Fu Wenyuan scratched his head after listening, saying, "Then all our efforts were for nothing?"

"Of course, they're definitely going to find a way to pay us back."

A knock sounded at the door, and Fu Wenyuan asked in a flustered voice, "Xiao Xi is here?"

Wu Jingshu rolled her eyes at his pathetic behavior. "She has a key, she doesn't need to knock."

The door opened, and seeing Gu Zheng, Fu Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief but also said impatiently, "Didn't you come here a couple of days ago? Why are you here again?"

Gu Zheng pouted and sat down next to Fu Wenyuan. "Master, I also want to buy a house here."

"Forget it, they're always running around and never home, buying them would be a waste of resources."

"But Junior Sister has already moved in!"

"Your junior sister is doing this so that it's easier for me to teach her and so that she can go to school. Why are you always comparing yourself to her?"

"I don't care, I've already found a house near my junior sister's house. Do you want to go take a look?"

Fu Wenyuan didn't hesitate for a moment, "I'm not going!"

Gu Zheng stormed off, and Wu Jingshu slapped him, saying, "Your favoritism is too obvious."

"Oh dear, don't you know his personality? You can't spoil him too much, or he'll be like a child and never grow up."

"Xiao Xi is different. Don't be fooled by her cheerful demeanor; she's quite mature."

She's clearly a child, but she acts like an adult all the time. Sigh, she and Xiao Zheng should switch personalities.

Wu Jingshu nodded in agreement.

Gu Zheng already knew Lin Xi's location from the property manager, so he arrived at the door with ease. Before he could knock, Lin Xi opened the door and said, "Second Senior Brother, you're here. Come inside and sit for a while. I'll go pick up Yan Feng and the others."

Fearing that Gu Zheng would be jealous, Lin Xi deliberately didn't call Yan Feng "brother".

But Gu Zheng had clearly forgotten who this person was, and said indifferently, "Go, go."

Yan Feng, Wu Zheng, and Zhao Yang stood together at the entrance of the residential complex. They glanced at the name of the complex, Zijing Huafu, and then at the rows of upscale villas inside, looking somewhat incredulous.

Zhao Yang: "Did we go to the wrong place?"

Wu Zheng: "Are there any people with the same name?"

Yan Feng: "I just asked Xiao Xi, and we didn't go to the wrong place. She'll come to pick us up in a bit."

Zhao Yang's eyes widened. "She really lives here? My God, is she that rich?"

Yan Feng pointed to Lin Xi, who was jogging over from not far away, "Although I can't believe it, it's really true."

Lin Xi entered the security room and said something to the security guard. The guard, who had just been looking serious, immediately smiled warmly and respectfully opened the door.

"Brother Yan Feng, Brother Wu Zheng, Brother Zhao Yang, come in quickly!"

Zhao Yang gave a thumbs up, "Little Xi, if it weren't for you, I would never have had the chance to come in here except to investigate cases."

Lin Xi waved her hand, "Hey, we've emptied our pockets, now all we have left is this villa."

Once inside the villa, Zhao Yang realized the true value of Lin Xi's earlier statement.

He also wished that all he had left was this villa.

Yan Feng and Wu Zheng weren't surprised; they had seen such luxurious villas before. They were just puzzled as to why the Lin family, with their simple and unpretentious nature, would buy such an upscale house.

So Wu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xi, why did you decide to buy a villa?"

He knew that the money must have come from Lin Xihua. Although Lin's Spicy Hot Pot was profitable, it was far from enough to buy a villa, and Aunt Lin was also reluctant to buy one. Therefore, not only did Lin Xihua provide the money, but she must have also come up with the idea.

Lin Xi looked mysterious and said, "Brothers, don't say I didn't think of you when I had good news. Trust me, don't just save your money. Buy a few houses, and you'll be rolling in money in a few years."

As if knowing that Zhao Yang's financial situation was not good, he specifically instructed, "If you don't have much money, buy a small one. It's better than keeping it in the bank."

The three exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly; Xiao Xi must have predicted that housing prices would rise.

"Understood, I'll go buy it tomorrow!"

If others told them the same thing, they wouldn't believe a word, but Lin Xi was different; she had to memorize every single punctuation mark she said.

"By the way, have there been any unsolved cases lately?"

Zhao Yang sprawled comfortably on the sofa. "Of course not. There aren't any unsolvable cases, let alone any cases at all. According to your prophecy book, we can just wait and catch them red-handed. They won't even have time to commit a crime."

"Director Niu treats you like a god; he even wants to have his fortune told by you."

Lin Xi's lips twitched. "Tell him I really can't tell fortunes. How's things in Danyang? Is there anything I can help with?"

Yan Feng understood the implication in her words, "You want to solve the case?"

Lin Xi nodded, "I really want to."

She wanted to buy one Gu Yuan Dan for her master and mistress. After her last shopping spree, she only had 100,000 left. She had received 50,000 in the past few days, but she was still short 50,000.

After recalling that there haven't been any major cases or fires in Danbei recently, Yan Feng and Xiao Ran haven't been able to contribute many Love Coins. The movie's popularity has faded, and like the novel, they only have a small amount of income each day. It will take quite a while to save up 50,000 Love Coins.

The key point is that she needs to keep 100,000 Love Coins in reserve for emergencies and cannot spend them all, so she also needs to save 150,000.

After doing the math, she couldn't wait any longer. After thinking it over, she realized that the only way to quickly earn Love Coins was to solve the case.

Zhao Yang couldn't understand, "Little Xi, do you have some kind of quota? Do you have to solve a case regularly?"

Yan Feng seemed to be deep in thought. "Actually, the police station has many old cases that have not yet been solved. It's just that they have been around for a long time and are very difficult to solve. Some of them... our police have already given up on."

Lin Xi's eyes lit up. "Let me try!"

Yan Feng didn't have high hopes, but considering Lin Xi's abilities, perhaps it really was possible. "Okay, I'll let Director Niu know in a bit."

Even knowing that Director Niu would be overjoyed to agree, it's still necessary to inform him in advance; that's the rule.

"Ahhh! I'll fight you!"

A roar came from the backyard, and everyone looked out the window.

Lin Xi suddenly remembered that there was a guest at home. "Hehe, it's my second senior brother. I'll go see what's going on."
