Since I was young, I have been sensitive to numbers, able to calculate quickly and accurately. The store manager valued me highly, even entrusting me with the financial reports of the pharmacy. I had originally planned to work there until retirement.
Unfortunately, my stepsister, Lin Wan'er, chose to follow a man named Ji Li.
I still can't understand why, even after being reborn, she would choose such a path.
My father passed away early, and my mother remarried Uncle Lin. Lin Wan'er is Uncle Lin's daughter.
Later, both my mother and Uncle Lin died unexpectedly.
Only the two of us sisters were left at home. Fortunately, we had some savings that allowed us to finish college.
I moved to a small town in Linjing City, completely distancing myself from the entanglements of my past life, ready to start anew.
With the little savings I had accumulated from working over the years, I opened a small convenience store to make ends meet.
I continued to utilize my skills, managing the store's accounts meticulously; every transaction was clear and precise, with no errors whatsoever.
Whenever customers came to buy something, I could immediately tell them how much they needed to pay.
The people in the town jokingly called me "the calculator," and business at the convenience store gradually flourished.
That day, several men dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses entered the shop, exuding an intimidating presence.
Their arms were tattooed with fierce tiger heads.
Are they from the Tiger Head Gang?
The leader, who called himself Scar Brother, was a trusted aide of Fang Zhao, the boss of the Tiger Head Gang.
He got straight to the point: “Are you Lin Zhi Xia? I’ve heard you’re quite skilled at settling accounts.”
A tightness gripped my heart as memories from my past life surged like a tidal wave. The torment Lin Wan'er endured at the hands of the Tiger Head Gang's leader flashed vividly in my mind. I forced myself to suppress the anger boiling within and maintained a calm facade. “What can I do for you, gentlemen?”
Scar Brother sized me up and said, “Our boss has heard about your abilities and wants to invite you to join our gang.
Don’t worry; the Tiger Head Gang is the authority in Linjing City. Stick with us, and you’ll live a life of luxury!”
Indeed, it was the Tiger Head Gang—the very culprits responsible for Lin Wan'er’s death in my previous life!
I had intended to steer clear of past events, but here they were, coming right to my doorstep. I could hardly contain my desire to rush at them and tear them to pieces.
But I know that I cannot do that just yet.
I must endure and wait for the right moment.
Joining the Tiger Head Gang?
This might be an opportunity, a chance to get close to them and take my revenge.
"Alright, I'll go with you."
After all, I am alone now.
The Tiger Head Gang has a mess of accounts that they can't seem to settle.
They heard about my talent for accounting and thought to give me a try; otherwise, they wouldn't let outsiders see their books.
I quickly organized the accounts neatly.
Originally, the Tiger Head Gang had no intention of sparing my life, but I demonstrated exceptional accounting skills.
No matter how complicated the accounts are, once they reach my hands, I can sort them out clearly and distinctly.
The secrets hidden behind those ledgers, the shady transactions, gradually came to light under my scrutiny.
The leader, Fang Zhao, praised me highly and even summoned me personally.
"You are Lin Zhi Xia?"
Fang Zhao was a burly man with a stern face, his voice deep and commanding, carrying an air of authority that demanded respect.
At first glance, it was hard to believe he had once treated Lin Wan'er so poorly in his past life.
"Yes, Leader," I replied respectfully.
"I heard from Scar that your accounting skills are top-notch; you are truly a talent!"
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Fang Zhao's eyes. "From now on, the accounts of the gang will be entrusted to you. Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly!"
"Thank you for your recognition, Leader. I will do my utmost!"
On the surface, I remained calm, but inside, I was gritting my teeth.
I had organized the accounts of the Tiger Head Gang meticulously; every transaction was clear and traceable, even including those shady illegal dealings.
Fang Zhao relied on me more and more, but at the same time, he grew increasingly wary.
He knew my accounting skills were exceptional, but he also feared that I might know too much.
"Zhi Xia, you’ve done well," Fang Zhao said as he looked over the accounts I had prepared, his expression complicated. "However, it would be best if you stayed in more; it's not safe outside."
I understood his meaning; he was worried I might leak information.
"Rest assured, Leader. I only handle the accounts and don’t go out much," I replied, lowering my head.
