Chapter 49: Chapter 49 The Entangled Reward_1

The last ti she requested leave and got reprimanded and had her pay docked, the image of Yu Ping’s cold face made Qin Sisi feel intimidated.

Ye You comforted her from the side, "No need for leave, just do what you gotta do."

Qin Sisi quickly disagreed, "How can I? If I skip work without reason, I can get fired."

Ye You gave Qin Sisi a speechless look. Qin Sisi realized her mistake, if she was already planning to resign, why did it matter whether she would be fired or not?

However, Qin Sisi was still a little worried, "What if they refuse to give the money or do not want to give that much, what should I do then?"

Ye You said in a low voice, "Then we will think of other ways, anyway, I don’t want you to continue to be wronged." There was sothing Ye You didn’t say, if Xiao Dan’s parents really went back on their word, Ye You wouldn’t mind giving them so punishnt.

In the end, Qin Sisi still sent Yu Ping a ssage requesting leave, possibly because she had yet to quit her job, so she decided to adhere to workplace rules as much as possible.

Yu Ping did not reply, and Qin Sisi didn’t mind much. However, she felt a bit helpless. She might be particularly disappointed in her own work attitude. Thinking about this, Qin Sisi beca even more resolved to quit her job. Since she can’t handle both things at the sa ti, she might as well focus on one thing.

The next morning, as Qin Sisi was getting ready to depart for the police station, she was a bit worried and said to Ye You, "Xiao Hei, perhaps...you shouldn’t go!"

"Why?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Ye You’s purple eyes. He didn’t want Qin Sisi to be alone with Ning Hao.

Qin Sisi replied, "Police are very sharp, I’m afraid they might suspect you."

Ye You chuckled and said, "Even if they are suspicious, they could just be suspicious. Do you think I will leave evidence?"

Qin Sisi pursed her lips, since Ye You was so confident, although she was still a bit worried, she decided not to insist too much.

Subsequently, as usual, Qin Sisi put Ye You in her backpack and then took the bus to the police station. Just as she was about to arrive, she thought of a problem, she didn’t have Ning Hao’s phone number and didn’t know the exact location of his office, how would she find him once she got there?

Upon getting off the bus, to Qin Sisi’s surprise, Ning Hao was already waiting for her at the entrance of the police departnt. He waved his arm at her when he saw Qin Sisi getting off the bus.

Qin Sisi followed Ning Hao into a relatively large room. Upon entering, she found several people already there, including two uniford officers and a middle-aged man and woman.

The man and woman were both around forty years old. The man wore a well-tailored suit that seed quite expensive — probably a successful man. The woman wore a beige knitted dress and coffee-colored mid-heeled leather shoes. Despite the weathered look of her face, she radiated a quiet elegance that made a good first impression.

Upon seeing Qin Sisi enter, the couple stood up in unison. Qin Sisi cast them a sowhat anxious glance, noting the redness rimming their eyes. The woman in particular bore the traces of recent tears. A guess began to form in Qin Sisi’s mind.

Ning Hao said to Qin Sisi, "The bag you found the other day has been confird to be Xiao Dan’s. These two are her parents." Then Ning Hao said to Xiao Dan’s parents, "This is Qin Sisi."

Qin Sisi nodded at Xiao Dan’s parents and politely greeted them, "Hello."

Xiao Dan’s parents responded cordially. Xiao Dan’s mother approached Qin Sisi, her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you, Miss Qin."

Nowadays the usual appellations for young females felt a bit dated. The term "Miss" had taken on a different connotation and was not used indiscriminately. "Lady" seed too mature for a young girl, and "Beauty" was used for casual flattery but not appropriate for serious occasions. Therefore, in such circumstances, "Miss" had co back into vogue.

Looking at Xiao Dan’s mother, a picture of profound sorrow and forced composure, Qin Sisi felt a lump in her throat and softly replied, "Xiao Dan’s mom, no need to thank . I just happened upon it."

Xiao Dan’s mother gave a strained smile, then retreated to her husband’s side. The two exchanged a look.

Then, Xiao Dan’s father retrieved a small leather case from the seat behind him and said to Qin Sisi, "We keep our word — this 100,000 yuan cash is the reward we offered you."

As Xiao Dan’s father spoke, he opened the case. Several stacks of red hundred-yuan bills dazzled Qin Sisi.

When she found out about the reward, Qin Sisi looked forward to it and even fantasized about renting a more comfortable house to focus on gathering Soul Power with Ye You without worries about living expenses.

However, once the money appeared before her, Qin Sisi hesitated. No amount of money could reclaim Xiao Dan’s young life or compensate her parents’ pain and sorrow.What was more, her real goal was Soul Power. So, should she accept the money or not?

Qin Sisi bit her lip. She was desperate for Ye You’s opinion at the mont, but there was no sound from him from inside the backpack on her back, as if he was asleep.

Xiao Dan’s father seed to see Qin Sisi’s hesitation. He continued, "Take it. You deserve it. This money ans nothing to . If it could bring Xiao Dan back, I’d be willing to be bankrupt..." His voice choked toward the end, this large man was getting teary-eyed.

A pang of pain hit Qin Sisi’s heart. No matter how much you spend, Xiao Dan couldn’t co back.

In the next second, Qin Sisi had made her decision. Looking at Xiao Dan’s father, she said firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I cannot accept this money."

Before, Qin Sisi only saw the money as a reward for providing clues. Today’s situation made her realize, Xiao Dan’s parents had probably guessed that their daughter was no longer alive. They were trying to buy back Xiao Dan’s remains. Making money off of an eight or nine-year-old girl’s remains was sothing Qin Sisi couldn’t accept.

Qin Sisi’s attitude caught Xiao Dan’s father by surprise. Xiao Dan’s mother also stepped forward and said, "Ms. Qin, it was stated beforehand, and we cannot go back on our word."

At this point, Ning Hao also added, "We have encountered many cases like this before. The predetermined reward is a legal inco, representing the gratitude of the parties involved."

Apparently, Xiao Dan’s father’s surna was Li.

After so contemplation, Qin Sisi eventually shook her head and said, "The fact that I found Xiao Dan’s backpack was really a coincidence. I would feel guilty accepting this money. Please take it back."

Xiao Dan’s parents noticed that Qin Sisi was resolute. They exchanged a glance and finally silently put away the suitcase holding the money.
