Chapter 50

Lip went downstairs and saw everyone staring at him with wide eyes. He truly didn't know what to say.

After thinking it over, he decided not to tell his family about it.

After all, sometimes the more you know, the quicker you might die!

"Nothing happened, a classmate called to ask about taking the exam for him."

Upon hearing Lip's words, everyone relaxed a little.

"Lip, look at that letter!" Fiona's eyes lingered near the letter.

"Didn't you open it?" Fiona shook her head.

"Alright." Lip picked up the letter and opened the seal.

Lip's pupils widened in shock. This was completely different from what he had expected.

What on earth was going on?

Lip carefully looked at the contents of the envelope: several photos.

They were the very scene where Wang Teng killed Akun.

Different angles, clear and undeniable.

It could be said that if just one photo were presented, Wang Teng would never leave prison.

Lip thought for a moment, his mind racing.

He realized he still lacked information. He had originally thought he was at the top, but someone had already outplayed him.

It seemed that he would have to see Jessica again as soon as possible.

Lip resealed the envelope, sending it swiftly to the blind spot under the table.

He then used the space bracelet to instantly store all the photos in the bracelet's space, taking out 10 photos worth $155,000 as the system had issued, and stuffed the $100 bill back into the envelope.

"Hey, listen to me!"

Lip said, and everyone, drawn to his actions, focused their attention on him.

"The things here are a bit exciting, so brace yourselves!"

Dang, dang, dang~ Lip slapped the money on the table.

"Oh my God!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Lip, is that money in this envelope?" Fiona asked.

"Yeah!" Lip took out the envelope and turned it upside down.

"What's going on? Someone shot up our house and then gave us so much money in an envelope?"

Lip looked at everyone with doubt, pretending not to know anything.

"Tony, have you ever seen this happen?" Fiona looked at Tony.

"I haven't seen it either!" Tony shook his head. "But my former colleague had an incident where a gang accidentally smashed into a restaurant and ended up losing money. I don't think someone just looked in the wrong place and destroyed your house."

"Who knows? But I've got money!" Fiona picked up the small wad of bills, counting them with a smile on her face. "If anyone wants to give us money, I welcome him to come to Tutu every day."

"Wow, making a fortune! There's actually a full $1,000!" Fiona said happily, holding the money in her hand and waving it in front of everyone.

"Now I've almost got half of my winter funds!"

Ian, Debbie, and Carl's expressions changed from nervous and fearful to joyful.

"Okay, okay, everyone go back to sleep!" Fiona urged with a smile.

"Ian, that was really exciting just now, just like riding a roller coaster in a movie!" Carl was still talking with Ian, drinking and discussing.

"Carl, you're such a fool!" Debbie, holding Liam, couldn't help but complain.

Seeing her younger siblings no longer afraid, but walking upstairs laughing, Lip smiled with peace of mind.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh~ It seems that for the Gallaghers, no fear is greater than the desire for money."

Lip had to admire his own wit for a moment.

Then, he went to the kitchen to find Mandy, who was still making coffee.

"Fool, it was a false alarm, no need to cook! Let's go back to sleep!"

"Ah? Oh, fine!" Mandy turned off the switch.

Lip took Mandy's hand and was about to return to the room.

Fiona and Steve were also sending Tony out.

Dong dong dong~ Suddenly, the door was knocked again.

Everyone looked at each other, and the relief they had just felt quickly turned into unease.

"It's me, your great daddy, Frank!"

A few people exchanged glances and smiled, their expressions turning helpless.

Fiona continued to send Tony out.

"Hey, as a police officer, don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?" Frank squeezed in as soon as the door opened.

But when he saw Lip staring at him with a smile and a sneer, he instantly became timid.

"OK, I'm not here to argue about the room, nor to discuss the rights and wrongs." Frank calmed down. "It's cold, I just came to grab some clothes and pants, and then…"

"Then what?" Lip looked at Frank coldly.

"Then spend the night on the couch."

"I've put all your stuff in the basement. I also put a single bed and quilt down there. I suggest you sleep in the basement."

"No, the couch is better than the basement."

"Frank, if I were you, I'd take the advice and live in the basement. All the glass on the first floor is broken. If you don't mind freezing to death in the middle of the night, I don't mind either."

"Okay, I'll sleep in the basement."

Frank walked toward the back door, opened it, walked down the stairs, and opened the basement door.

"Lip, isn't this too much?"

"Mandy, compared to what Frank did to us, this is a huge act of kindness. Don't give him the slightest chance to get close to you, or he'll become more terrifying than a leech."

"Well…"

"Okay, let's go back to the room!"

Lip took Mandy back to the room, and they slept in each other's arms.
