Inside the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, watching the extra hundred thousand on his phone, Su Qing was ecstatic.

A college graduate who hasn't even been out of school for a year and already has over a hundred thousand in savings—without boasting, that's at least defeating seventy or eighty percent of his peers nationwide.

After all, for a college graduate in their first year, not asking for money from their family is already quite impressive. Only a rare few stand out in less than a year, while the rest just wait for opportunities.

Of course, the money in his hands was accumulated almost entirely in this past month. Previously, he hadn't thought about the future at all, living day by day. Only now did he see a glimmer of hope, thanks to the local specialties sent by an old friend from Yunnan.

As for Lin Chengcai's suggestion, he declined. First, becoming a police officer isn't something you can do just because you want to. He isn't a police academy graduate; it requires an exam. Didn't Wang Xing only score eighty in two subjects combined? He couldn't even meet the police dog requirements, so he'd probably fail too.

Second, he had no choice before; now, he just wants to make money.

If there were no narration, and without Lin Chengcai's words, he definitely would have tried, because as long as he passed the written exam, with his local status, the interview would be easy to pass. But right now, these things aren't very tempting; getting money is more solid.

Moreover, the video just now was only a test from Lin Chengcai. That's right. Even without him, Lin Chengcai and others were beginning to suspect the man who reported the case. Never underestimate these police officers, especially seasoned detectives like Lin Chengcai; they are all experienced in solving cases.

They have encountered countless outrageous cases. Although there's no substantial evidence at the moment, based on the last scene of the video and gradual investigation, it won't be long before news comes. After all, the man is already under suspicion, and there will be a breakthrough point on him. No need to doubt.

"Captain Lin, he didn't agree, such a pity," Du Qiang sighed in the office.

On the contrary, Lin Chengcai took a deep drag on his cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and laughed, "It is a pity. If this kid became a detective, he'd definitely be good material. I'll have Xiao Li persuade him later."

"Even though we collected and sorted most of the materials first, the fact he could spot something wrong with Wang Hao at a glance is impressive."

"Captain Lin, is it really possible it's him? But that's his wife?" Du Qiang still found it hard to believe.

"Wife? Ha, I've seen bastards who killed their own mother for insurance money; what does a wife count for?" Beneath Lin Chengcai's gentle appearance lay too much ugliness and disgrace. They've experienced all sorts of bizarre things in this line of work.

"Alright, notify Xiao Li to speed up, proceed with the planned sequential investigation, and have someone keep an eye on Wang Hao. Before new evidence emerges, he's the prime suspect, and I already have a bad feeling."

"Yes, Captain Lin, I'll deal with it right away."

If she hasn't returned home in ten days, what's implied is clear to everyone.

The pressure at the police station wasn't something Su Qing felt. Although he knew the outcome this time, there were no clear hints. First, there was no opportunity. He couldn't just say that after watching a video, he knew the person was sunk in Sanba Reservoir, right?

Second, the person is already gone, the outcome can't be changed, and there's no need to stir up unnecessary trouble for himself. Silently indicating to two people that the man as a husband is suspicious was the extent he could reach.

Simply put, it's about not meddling in affairs that aren't your business. As an ordinary person without an official status, revealing too much would easily arouse suspicion. If he were a police officer like Li Zijun, the case would have been solved long ago, and nobody would suspect him.

From past experiences, he finally understood that the narration from the police station should be ignored unless there's a reason he absolutely can't avoid, like when Li Zijun is in danger.

Furthermore, he vaguely sensed two lines surrounding him, representing two choices: one was with Shen Yi, unsurprisingly about making money, and the other was where Li Zijun was, at the police station, dealing with one case after another.

These two lines were also opportunities that the narration had said could change fate. He had captured both, but he was leaning more towards Shen Yi's side. Who wouldn't want to avoid decades of detours?

The first thing he did when returning home in the afternoon was to invest all the money in the stock market in batches, selecting a stock with the highest short-term interest rate and buying massively.

With the unexpected hundred thousand in hand boosting his confidence, combined with his current funds, perhaps by the time Mr. and Mrs. Su return from their honeymoon, he'd be a middle-class guy with tens of thousands in hand, and by the end of the year, even Mr. Su would have to give him some face at the dinner table.

Of course, these were just small plays; he's far from being an elite earning millions yearly. Even if he became one, when he returns home for ancestor worship during New Year's, he'd still be the one kneeling in the back.

Unlike Li Zijun, a proper detective who has solved numerous major cases after a few years on the job and has even been awarded honors, as a woman on the front line. It's said that when she goes home for ancestral rites, she enters through the main door, with her father trailing behind.

After the college entrance exams, Su He was likely busy having fun with friends, while Wang Xing was probably still swaying between work and his goddess.

As for him, he was constantly monitoring his account backend. Watching the video view count increase gradually uplifted his mood. Though it was still far behind Da Huang's videos, it was much better than before. His channeling was quite successful.

Views mean money, and what he lacks most right now is money.

5:30 PM

While considering whether he should change his style and become a dog-breeding blogger, the phone next to him rang.

"Hello, Su Qing? I'm your landlord. I've found an apartment for you in the city and sent the details to your mobile. You can take a look, and if you like it, you can move in anytime. Everything there is already set up." As soon as the call connected, the landlord's wife's voice came through.

Hearing this, Su Qing quickly said he'd check immediately. After hanging up, he indeed saw a video sent by the landlord on WeChat. When he opened it, he was utterly stunned. The luxurious decoration and spacious layout, covering around 200 square meters, and in a prime location with hospitals, schools, malls, and transportation available.

Renting this for 2000? He felt as if he was being scammed; he only had two kidneys, after all.

In another upscale residential area, Shen Yi anxiously asked, "What about it? Did he agree?"

After a long pause, Wen Nanqing raised her phone and said with a wry smile, "He said it's too luxurious, he can't afford to stay there, and wants me to find a place a bit further from the city center, but not too remote."

"I told you it wouldn't work. That apartment would scare him off. What should we do, Sister Nanning, think of something!" Shen Yi said anxiously, considering she'd been preparing this plan for so long.

On the other hand, Wen Nanqing smiled slightly, "Don't worry. Anyone who tries to back out on me will rent eventually, no matter how far."
