"Well, I'm fine, Ms. Tang. How have you been doing lately?" Linda didn't show any expression on her face. She was pretending to be the fake Linda.
"Just so-so. Nothing has changed in my life. Why did you come back to school?" asked Amber secretly when she saw that there was no one else around them.
"I came back to school to deal with an important thing, " said Linda in a cryptic manner.
"Has that person told you to carry out any new task? Could you help me ask if there is anything I can do for him? I'm kind of short on money lately..."
Amber whispered these words to Linda after she discreetly glanced around and leaned over.
"Well, yeah. Of course, there is something... In fact, this time, the reason why I came back has something to do with you..."
Linda nodded and continued, "How much did that person transfer to your account at that time? I was told to check the money with you. That person was worried that you didn't get enough money and you didn't dare talk about it. If you really received less money than what you should get, that person wants to give you more of it. Also, I have to tell you the next task..."
Linda just made up an excuse to ask Amber. She wanted to figure out who told Amber to do such sort of thing to her. She didn't believe that Amber would risk doing that thing if she didn't get any benefit from that person.
No matter how much Amber hated Linda, Linda was the Lady of the Mu clan, and it would take Amber some guts to offend her. Now that she dared risk everything to drug Linda, she must have received a lot of money from someone who gave the order.
Linda wasn't afraid that Amber would discover that she was the real Linda. Amber harmed her first and she had nothing to be sorry for. Linda could also see whether Amber knew that by observing the expressions on her face.
Amber thought that she had received enough money at that time. She wondered whether that person forgot about it or made a mistake.
Her face lit up at the thought of some extra money. She thought if that person forgot the amount of money he gave her, she could get another lump sum. She was short of money now. Some time ago, she spent all of her money buying stocks, but the share price kept declining. She was so greedy and unwilling to take out her money. Now, the shares had fallen sharply, with some of them even halted.
Amber owned a house, but she didn't want to bet it on her investment in stocks. After all, she had a daughter to take care of. If she lost her house by buying stocks, she might really end up losing everything.
After she heard Linda, Amber said, "It has been a while and I'm not sure whether that person gave me enough money or not."
"Well, can you show me how much that person transferred to your account? There is a banking application on your phone, right? You can check the amount of money via the online banking app. You can let me have a look at it, so that I can confirm."
Amber immediately took out her phone and opened the app. She had applied for a new bank card, and then she opened an online banking account for it. It was a secret bank card with one hundred thousand kept in it. If Amber's husband knew, he might take it away from her.
Linda took Amber's phone and glanced at the money transfer record and the account of the person who transferred the money to her. She then took out her phone and took a photo of the money transfer record on Amber's phone. "I took a photo to have evidence of it. It seems that our boss owes you 50, 000 more. He said that he wanted to transfer 150, 000 to your account, but he only gave you 100, 000. Perhaps, there was something wrong with the bank at that time. We will give the rest amount of money to you after you finish the next task. Don't worry. I will look for you again."
"Okay. You can look for me whenever you have any other tasks for me to carry out. I will surely try my best to complete them."
Amber just helped someone drug Linda and gained 100, 000. She was pleased about that.
