Chapter 91 Lottery

"Guest!" a voice sounded slowly, "Wake up!"

Qi Xia slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting in the taxi, which was running on the road.

He sat up blankly, and took a look at the blue sky for the first time. He was shocked.

"Guest, what's wrong with you?" the voice beside him continued to ask.

Qi Xia ignored him, but reached out and touched his shoulder. There was no wound.

He hurriedly rolled down the window again.

A sweet and fragrant smell directly poured into his nose unreasonably, and the unique sound of high-speed driving blew wildly on his face.

It was fresh air.

It was a cool breeze.

"I escaped?!" He shouted uncontrollably, with an irrepressible joy on his face.

Could it be that this taxi is the key to breaking the deadlock?

It is like a "boat on the Styx", which can take people in and out of the strange "end of the world" freely, and this woman named "Xu Liunian" is like the Styx ferryman "Charon", who is responsible for transporting people on the car to and from the world of the living...

Qi Xia turned around and was stunned. Where is Xu Liunian in front of him?

Beside him is a big man wearing sunglasses. Due to his job, his skin is burned dark and shiny by ultraviolet rays.

"Why are you so startled, customer?" The big man looked at Qi Xia with some fear, "Are you not taking drugs?"

"You...I..." Qi Xia felt that he seemed to have seen this big man before, but he had no impression of him after thinking about it carefully, "Where are we going?"

"Don't scare me, customer." The taxi driver looked big and strong, but he still swallowed nervously, "Don't you want to take a taxi to Jinan? It's almost more than 300 kilometers, don't make me lose my memory."

The big man pointed to the price list in front of him, which had already run to more than 900 yuan.

"What?!" Qi Xia looked at the sign above the road in shock and found that the car was about to enter Jinan.

He instantly recalled everything. He had indeed seen this big man before.

Because the day before the earthquake, he took his car to Jinan without hesitation.

"I went back to the day before?" Qi Xia touched his pocket and took out his mobile phone. He glanced at it and immediately showed a puzzled look, "September 27th... It was indeed the day before the "earthquake"... What's going on?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly touched his chest pocket, where there was a small piece of paper.

"Fortunately... It's still there."

"Customer... What's wrong with you..." The driver didn't know what to do, so he could only fumble for the phone in his pocket, with his thumb always on the emergency dial.

"Master, the round-trip fare is 2,000 yuan, and I will give you every penny." Qi Xia suddenly began to feel relieved. Although he didn't know what happened, everything seemed to start over again.

"Really? "The driver saw that Qi Xia's behavior was normal and relaxed his vigilance a little. "You are so startled, I thought you were taking drugs..."

"No, I just had a very terrible nightmare." Qi Xia opened the window and kept blowing the September wind, feeling very comfortable, "Fortunately, I woke up from the dream now."

"Hey, do young people like to stay up late?" The driver said very maturely, "If you don't sleep at night and sleep during the day, what good dreams can you have?"

"Master, you are right." Qi Xia answered casually.

For Qi Xia, now he has a second chance.

Although the earthquake will come at noon tomorrow, the top priority now is to get the money, after all, today is the "deadline".

After about an hour, the taxi finally arrived in Jinan City.

The driver also turned on the navigation and headed to Erhuan East Road, Lixia District.

"Young man... the place you are going to..." The driver looked at the navigation carefully, "It seems to be the provincial lottery center?"

"Drive your car, master." Qi Xia began to close his eyes and rest again.

Not long after, the car stopped at the door of the lottery center, and Qi Xia decisively counted out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to the driver: "Master, please wait for me here. If you are willing to return with an empty car, I have no objection."

"That's right... I must wait for you here."

Qi Xia went downstairs of the lottery center, where a staff member was already waiting to greet him.

"Mr. Qi, right?"

"It's me." Qi Xia nodded.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, please come this way." The staff waved at Qi Xia and led him into the lobby. After walking a few steps, he patiently explained, "The current lottery collection process has been simplified. A staff member will verify the authenticity of your lottery ticket in a while, and then a bank check will be issued to you on the spot. Please wait a moment."

"I am in a hurry, please hurry up." Qi Xia nodded and followed the staff to the lottery inspection office.

"Um... can you give me the lottery ticket?" the staff member said.

Qi Xia took out the crumpled little paper from his chest pocket and handed it to the staff member, who then turned around and handed it to the inspector at the window.

The other party took it very seriously and immediately began to check the authenticity.

"The prize is 1.9 million, please wait." The inspector began to take out the instrument and scan the numbers on the lottery ticket.

Qi Xia waited quietly by the side, which made the staff member who led the way earlier a little confused: "Mr. Qi, why do you look unhappy?"

"Happy?"

"Yes, you should be happy after winning a prize of nearly two million."

"Maybe." Qi Xia nodded.

"Hi, let me tell you, a few days ago someone won a million. It turned out to be August day, and the man came wearing a down jacket and a big mask. In today's society, who would think of a million dollars? Are you a treasure?" The staff made themselves laugh, but Qi Xia didn't react at all, and the scene was quite embarrassing.

"How much longer?" Qi Xia asked.

"Uh... don't worry..." the staff member waved his hand, "Recent cases of fraud using fake lottery tickets have also happened from time to time, so we have to check carefully."

"What do you mean?" Qi Xia was stunned and looked at the other party.

"Hey? Don't get me wrong..." The staff member quickly apologized and said, "I'm not saying that the lottery tickets you brought are fake. Mr. Qi doesn't seem to be the kind of person who knows how to commit fraud."

Qi Xia didn't answer and continued to wait.

After a short while, the inspector put away the instrument and smiled: "The inspection is completed. There is no problem with the lottery ticket. You can write a check."

Qi Xia sneered in her heart.

Of course there is no problem with the lottery.

This lottery ticket that won RMB 1.9 million was bought by me at a cost of RMB 2 million in cash. It is a genuine winning ticket.

Although I have to pay a tax of 380,000 yuan, the remaining money is "clean".

This is one of the simplest ways to make the two million you obtained through fraud come from a normal source.

"Congratulations to you, Mr. Qi..." the staff member continued with a smile, "I will arrange for someone to write a check for you. Do you want to make a donation?"

"Donation? Is it mandatory?" Qi Xia asked.

"That's not true, it's just that most people who win the lottery will donate money."

"Since it's not mandatory, I won't donate a penny."
