Chapter 4

As it turned out, my worries were unnecessary.

Watching me pay a bill of over fifteen thousand without blinking, my coworkers were dumbfounded.

"Laura, what exactly does your husband do? He's so rich!"

"You really hid it well, I really couldn't tell before."

"Alright, alright, let Laura make a wish first!"

Lina ordered a cake and put a birthday hat on me.

The candles were lit, and I closed my eyes.

Thinking of the bizarre experiences lately, I suddenly had an absurd thought.

Could it be that I have superpowers and whatever I want, I get?

Then I might as well try something big.

Thinking this, I chanted silently in my heart.

I want lots and lots of money!

Then I opened my eyes and blew out the candles.

When I went home at night, after washing up and lying in bed, I saw an unread message.

I sat up with a whoosh, clenched my fists, and clicked on that message.

I saw that another sum of money had been credited to my card, and the string of numbers was even longer than the one from the morning.

My heart pounding, I counted the zeros. It was actually one hundred million!

Remark: [I will give you lots and lots of money.]

It was too incredible... I got out of bed and walked in circles several times, feeling like I was dreaming.

Did I really have the superpower to make wishes come true?

But this wasn't scientific.

After calming down, I still felt something was wrong.

With such a huge income, would I be targeted by the police?

Getting rich overnight, would I be targeted by bad guys?

Even though the feeling of having money was great.

But I really didn't dare to spend this money.

Thinking it over, I decided to go to the police tomorrow.

If the police could trace the source of the money, that would be for the best.

If they couldn't, at least there would be a record.

Right, just like that!

I took a few deep breaths and comforted myself.

Lying back on the bed, I prepared to put down my phone and sleep.

Suddenly, my hand slipped, and I opened the photo album.

Then, I violently sat up once again.

Because in my photo album, a few photos I had never seen had appeared out of nowhere.

They were even photos of me and an unfamiliar man together!

And this man looked exactly like the face in my dream!

I was terrified and frantically turned on the light.

It was practically a ghost!

I had no impression of these photos at all, and I was sure I didn't know this man.

Unless the photos were AI.

But I had just changed to a new phone. Was the new phone being monitored too?

No matter what, I absolutely had to go report this to the police.

I left the light on all night and didn't dare to sleep.

As soon as it was dawn, I took a cab to the police station.

"Hello, has something happened to you?"

It was too early, plus my complexion was abnormal.

The duty officer became alert and poured me a glass of water.

I swallowed.

"Officer, photos of a strange man suddenly appeared on my phone, and... I also received a huge sum of money from an unknown source."

The officer frowned and asked, "Money from an unknown source? How much?"

"One hundred million... no, one million, plus one hundred million."

"One hundred million?!"

The officer jumped in shock and yelled.

"Officer Sam, what are you getting so startled about? What one hundred million?"

Another police officer asked from a distance.

And I froze for a moment.

Officer Sam?

...I slowly looked up and saw his face.

Suddenly, my mind exploded.

I knew! I knew what was going on!

While feeling excited, I had a severe headache. Then my vision became more and more blurry until I lost consciousness...
