Ling Tongyu rushed all the way back to Baosheng Community. Sure enough, as Yanyan said, the entire community collapsed. The affected residents were temporarily placed in the playground of a nearby primary school that had been closed. The government built simple prefabricated houses on the playground as
Ling Tongyu's family also received one as a temporary residence.
However, what makes the residents of Baosheng Community even more gratified is that each family received an additional relief fund according to the degree of disaster. It is said that it was donated by an entrepreneur who did not want to be named.
When Ling Tongyu received the bank card and wanted to sign the payment form, she thought she had made a mistake. She rubbed her eyes vigorously and counted over and over again——
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7 zeros, that's one...one million, Director Lin, is it a mistake? How come there are so many?"
."
When the cadre of the neighborhood committee known as Director Lin saw her like this, he said, "Others are secretly happy when they receive the money, for fear of others finding out. It's better for you to speak up without hesitation, as if you don't dare to receive the money.
"
"Hehe..." Ling Tongyu smiled sheepishly and said, "My family is gone. Of course I am happy to have so much money suddenly, but it doesn't give me peace of mind."
"Don't worry, this is a donation from a very caring big entrepreneur. Counting each family's head, your family has four people, each person has 250,000, which makes it one million. Please sign here and put your fingerprints."
Director Lin took out the ink pad and put it in her hand.
"..." Ling Tongyu pressed her fingerprint and received her bank card and password. She asked again, "Director Lin, can you tell me who the kind entrepreneur is?"
"Why, you still want to repay others."
"Knowing who helped me, I feel more at ease when I have the opportunity to say thank you."
"Okay, that one million is nothing to me, and I have no intention of repaying you. Take it back and rebuild your home properly."
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..." At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the temporary flood relief office! Ling Tongyu trembled all over and looked back suddenly. When she saw the person in front of her, her face immediately revealed
With a happy expression——
"Dad! How did you come back?" She saw Ling Yunming standing in front of her, his clothes were in tatters and dirty, his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, his face was dark, and the shoes on his feet were all wet.
It was wrinkled, with a mournful expression, like a beggar on the run.
Ling Yunming burst into tears when he saw his daughter. He wiped his eyes and said in a tearful voice, "Xiaoyu, I'm looking for you. The south side is flooded. I saw on TV that our whole bed was full. I'm worried."
You guys are safe, even if you walked back overnight, it’s okay, you’re fine.”
"Dad..." Having just experienced such a disaster, Ling Tongyu heard her father's words and imagined her father's hard work in rushing back. Tears immediately flowed down, and she hugged Ling Yunming and started crying.
"Xiao Yu, I thought I heard you say one million just now, what one million?" Ling Yunming wiped away his tears and asked.
"Oh, that's it..." Ling Tongyu pushed her father away and was about to take out her bank card from her bag to show him.
"Xiaoyu!" Director Lin saw this and immediately stopped him with his eyes. Ling Yunming's scandal of being an alcoholic was well known in this community.
"It's okay..." Ling Tongyu smiled, took out his bank card, waved it in front of his father and said, "A caring entrepreneur donated a sum of money to our disaster-stricken residents.
The family got one million."
"One million!" After hearing this, Ling Yunming's eyes that looked cloudy due to his long-term addiction to tobacco, alcohol and gambling shone with a bright light, "Is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true. Let's go, dad. There's no news about my sister yet. We have to continue to find ways to find her." Ling Tongyu put the card back into his wallet, pulled Ling Yunming and left together.
"Dad, when was the last time my sister contacted you?" Ling Tongyu asked.
"Ah? Oh... She, the last time she called me was two days ago. She said that she had found a rich boss as her boyfriend and wanted to give me some money." Ling Yunming was thoughtful as he walked.
"The last time I talked to her was for two days. She told me she was leaving for a few days. I asked her where she was going but she refused to tell me. Now I'm really anxious! I've asked all my relatives and friends.
They say they haven't seen her, so where on earth could she go?" Ling Tongyu felt deeply uneasy in her heart. She always felt that something must have happened to Ling Shanshan, but she did not dare to say it.
"Xiaoyu, I think we should go to the bank's ATM to check the money in the bank. What should we do if we are cheated?" Ling Yunming seemed to have not heard what Ling Tongyu was saying at all.
"No need. Since it's a donation, it doesn't matter if it's one million yuan. Even if it's one hundred yuan, we still have to be grateful." Ling Tongyu said after hearing this.
Ling Yunming still insisted on checking the money. He said, "You are right, but the problem is that you are afraid that the people who handle the money, such as Director Lin and others, will embezzle it. How about checking it."
"This..." Ling Tongyu said hesitantly after hearing this, "Probably not."
"Let's check it out. It won't be too much trouble. Look over there, there's an ATM. Let's go." Ling Yunming couldn't help but pull Ling Tongyu across the road, urging her to check the money.
Ling Tongyu couldn't resist him, so she had to take out the card and check it.
"I'll help you block it so no one can see the password." Ling Yunming moved his body around, fearing that others would see it.
When they clicked "Check Balance" and saw the long string of 0s after the 1, both father and daughter were a little confused. They had never had so much money, and Ling Yunming was shaking with excitement.

Ling Shanshan stood in an empty room. She hugged herself tightly and looked at the woman wearing sunglasses in front of her in horror——
Ling Shanshan's hair was messy, the makeup on her face was smudged, and her black eyeshadow was blurred by tears of fear, like two panda eyes.
The woman sitting in front of her was very gorgeously dressed, with bright red lipstick on her lips and an indifferent expression. Behind her stood two bodyguards in black who also wore sunglasses. The whole room was filled with a sense of terror and gloom.
atmosphere.
"You...who are you? Why did you arrest me here?" she asked with a trembling voice. She was so scared that she almost fainted.
The woman raised her right hand wearing a black leather glove——
"Bang!" There was only a sound, and one of the bodyguards dropped a box in front of Ling Shanshan in one swift movement.
