YM778.TV Chapter 247 Scapegoat
The next morning, Bai Chen did not have to go to school because it was Sunday.
He left home at exactly 8 a.m., which was rather early. His goal for today was the same: the missions assigned by the Life Changing System.
His mission today was mission 28. The details were as follows:
---
[Mission 28: Help a scapegoat escape a charge against him.]
Description: You have to help a man who is the suspect in a big embezzlement case by revealing information regarding the embezzlement by the true culprit.
Reward for success: Win 40 points + 40 magical bonuses
Penalty for failure: The scapegoat will be jailed for 20 years.
---
After reading through the mission information, Bai Chen could not help but sigh at how unfortunate this scapegoat was.
Being accused of something you did not do was always sad and highly unfair.
Bai Chen thought that if the Life Changing System had not given him this mission, the scapegoat in question would have had to be thrown in jail for 20 years.
It was actually similar to how his life was. The difference was that he was not a scapegoat. He had been given a serious charge and had had to be behind bars for 200 years!
Fortunately, the amazing Life Changing System had found him after only 12 years. Otherwise, he would have been stuck there until he died!
“If I complete this mission, I’ll have 40 more magical bonuses, which will make a total of 160 magical bonuses!”
While walking on a footpath, Bai Chen talked to himself softly.
Of course, he had studied everything about mission 28 and the number of magical bonuses. He had actually just looked at it right after he’d woken up.
At the moment, he was at level 6 with 30 points. He still needed 70 more points to reach level 7. He also had a total of 120 magical bonuses right now.
He only needed 380 more magical bonuses to be eligible to receive medium-grade randomisation chances. However, that was a large number.
‘It wouldn’t be appropriate to go with this appearance. Maybe I should go as my 30-year-old self.’
Bai Chen thought that he would not seem trustworthy if he revealed the details of the real culprit to the police with his 18-year-old appearance.
That was why he thought that being a 30-year-old man would be more suitable.
Once he’d thought this, Bai Chen went straight to the Xing Yuan department store to buy himself some nice, respectable clothes.
..................................................................
An hour later, at a little after 9 a.m., Bai Chen, who was now 30 years old and wearing clothes suitable for a 30-year-old, followed the guiding green arrow in a taxi.
He had already purchased new attire for the job at the department store. He’d also spent time grabbing something for breakfast. That was why it had taken him about an hour.
“We’re here,” the middle-aged taxi driver said.
Bai Chen did not say anything. He paid the driver and got out of the vehicle.
After the taxi drove off, Bai Chen looked ahead. It was a big building that belonged to a firm that was very familiar to him.
It was none other than the Li Group, the company belonging to Li Cong Tian, Li Lin’s father!
“I didn’t expect it to be the Li Group, Li Lin’s father’s firm.”
Bai Chen looked at the big building in front of him. It was unexpectedly the number one firm in Xing Zhou city.
However, he did not care about it much and walked towards the entrance. There were as many as 6 to 7 security guards.
The number of guards of bigger firms seemed to be a lot more than what small firms had.
Long Xu In’s company had 4 security guards at the entrance. Long Shen, her older brother, had told him that it was the third-ranked firm in Xing Zhou city.
Bai Chen walked at a normal speed to the entrance. Everyone had the right to enter the building for business purposes anyway.
However, if one caused any trouble, the guards would definitely kick you out in an instant.
Bai Chen walked into the Li Group building very easily. Inside, it was a big hall that was beautifully furnished. A great many people were in there, walking back and forth and conversing on business matters.
The first floor was not so different from Long Xu In’s building—only there were more people here.
“Hmm...” While Bai Chen was standing not so far from the entrance, a pair of eyes were locked onto him.
The owner of the eyes paused and had to look at Bai Chen many times.
“Is something the matter, president?” a man in a neat-looking suit asked the owner of the eyes looking in Bai Chen’s direction.
The man who was looking at Bai Chen was in his middle age. He had a rather handsome face.
If Bai Chen had seen him, he would know right away who it was. It was Li Cong Tian, Li Lin’s father!
Yes, the man who was looking at Bai Chen was Li Cong Tian.
Li Cong Tian was in an expensive grey suit. He was surrounded by 5 people, 2 being bodyguards and the 3 being his subordinates. The man who’d questioned him earlier was his secretary.
A great many people on this floor looked at him with respect because he was the top businessman in Xing Zhou city at the moment.
Also, there were a lot of them who wanted to talk business with him, but they did not dare to initiate a conversation. They knew that talking business directly with Li Cong Tian was almost impossible.
“It’s nothing. You can go ahead.” Li Cong Tian turned away from Bai Chen to talk with his secretary and the other two, who were men in their middle age wearing suits.
“Er…” Yuan Kai, the secretary, looked at him in confusion. He had to strictly follow the order, however.
“Yes, president.”
The other two middle-aged men said the same thing and walked away.
There were only two bodyguards remaining on either side of Li Cong Tian.
Then, Li Cong Tian walked towards Bai Chen without hesitation.
He thought that the 30-year-old Bai Chen looked nearly identical to his daughter’s boyfriend!
Li Cong Tian had heard from Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien that Bai Chen had a grand background. How could he let this man, who looked so much like an aged Bai Chen, go?
It was possible that he was perhaps from the same family as Bai Chen!
