"Have that group been caught?"

Li Mu Chuan looked around before asking.

The officer beside him nodded. "They've been caught. They're still being interrogated."

"Can I go see them?"

Li Mu Chuan checked the time before asking.

The officer was somewhat surprised. Informants like Li Mu Chuan who took the initiative to approach criminals could easily get themselves into trouble.

"Are you sure? This could be very dangerous for you."

The officer did not want Li Mu Chuan to take the risk and tried to persuade him.

Li Mu Chuan nodded firmly.

Seeing how determined he was, the officer hesitated for a moment, then nodded and led Li Mu Chuan toward the interrogation room.

"I want to see Huang Yuan."

"Huang Yuan?" The officer paused, then realized. "You mean Yuan Bin? Huang Yuan was just an alias he gave himself."

So this guy really had not told him his real name.

Li Mu Chuan was not particularly surprised.

When the officer brought him into the interrogation room, Li Mu Chuan immediately spotted Huang Yuan—or rather, Yuan Bin—restrained in a chair.

"So it was you!"

The moment Yuan Bin saw Li Mu Chuan, he flew into a rage and tried to rise, only to find himself securely locked down.

"Kid, there's no antidote for the capsule in your body. I'll wait for you to die before I do!"

Unable to deal with Li Mu Chuan himself, Yuan Bin could only make vicious threats.

He had used this trick to control countless people before. Never had he expected something to go wrong with Li Mu Chuan.

"You mean this?"

Li Mu Chuan took the capsule out of his personal space.

"How is that possible?" Yuan Bin's eyes went wide. He had clearly watched Li Mu Chuan swallow it!

He had even checked Li Mu Chuan's mouth. There had been no capsule hidden inside!

Li Mu Chuan did not answer. He simply stepped forward and landed several heavy punches on Yuan Bin's face.

He put all his strength into every punch, and afterward, he immediately felt much better.

"Stop!"

The people nearby hurried forward and pulled Li Mu Chuan away.

Watching someone like this get beaten was satisfying, but they could not actually stand by and allow it.

Yuan Bin was dazed by Li Mu Chuan's combination of punches. Since when had ordinary people become this brutal?

He was the criminal here, wasn't he? Why had this guy come up and thrown several punches at him? Wasn't he afraid of revenge later?

"Now that I'm feeling better, I'll be leaving."

Li Mu Chuan rubbed his fists. They still hurt a little.

With a smile, Li Mu Chuan waved at the people beside him as if he were about to leave.

The officer froze. "You can't leave yet. We haven't verified your identity information, and there are still some matters..."

As they spoke, several people moved to take Li Mu Chuan away. But the next moment, his body turned into specks of starlight that scattered around them before fading away.

"W-what is going on?!"

The people nearby raised their voices and looked around, trying to find Li Mu Chuan.

But no matter how they searched, there was no sign of him.

A living, breathing person had simply vanished right in front of them.

By the time Li Mu Chuan could see light again, he was back in his rented apartment.

At a thought, the pill moved from his space into his palm.

He had the pill!

Li Mu Chuan looked quite pleased, then took out his phone.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Mu Chuan contacted Gu Mingqiu on WeChat.

Gu Mingqiu had money, and he had heard that he had quite a few girlfriends. He should need this sort of pill.

Even if Gu Mingqiu did not need it himself, with his current wealth, he should at least have some rich friends, right?

Li Mu Chuan: "You there?"

It was just afternoon, and Gu Mingqiu was considering where to go have fun that evening.

He scrolled through his phone, checking which friends might go out with him that night.

When a message suddenly popped up from an old classmate, Gu Mingqiu paused.

He had chatted with Li Mu Chuan in the group only a few days ago. Why was he contacting him now? To borrow money?

The first thought that came to mind was borrowing money.

If the guy really was here to borrow money, that would be rather awkward.

Though conflicted, Gu Mingqiu still replied, "I'm here."

When Li Mu Chuan saw the reply, he quickly typed, "It's like this. I have a new kind of pill here, one that boosts a man's performance, if you know what I mean. The effects are extremely strong, but it's quite expensive. I wanted to ask whether any of your friends might need it?"

Li Mu Chuan sent a long string of text, with the key point being those words: if you know what I mean.

They were both men. Of course he knew what he meant.

The moment Gu Mingqiu saw those words, he instantly understood.

So he was trying to drum up business. Still, Gu Mingqiu did not particularly trust business that came knocking out of nowhere.

If the effects were really that powerful, would Li Mu Chuan need to come around promoting it?

Thinking that, he was about to decline.

But Li Mu Chuan continued typing, "One pill costs over two thousand. I know you don't believe in this stuff, so I'll mail you one for a friend to try first. It's free. If it works well, can you help promote it to your friends?"

Over two thousand for one pill?

Gu Mingqiu had taken some of those pills before. Most cost a few hundred per tablet, around two or three hundred.

This guy was selling one for over two thousand?

Gu Mingqiu was interested now, mainly because Li Mu Chuan's asking price was so high and he was confident enough to offer a free trial.

After hesitating, and remembering that the pills he had taken before had never worked very well, he agreed.

"Fine. Since we're old classmates, I'll help you out. But if the effect isn't much good, don't blame me for not helping. If I go around promoting junk, I'll lose face in this circle too."

Li Mu Chuan said he understood. After getting the address, he quickly found a small pill bottle, tore off its label, and sent the package by express delivery.

Whether it would work depended on how things went after Gu Mingqiu took it.

Li Mu Chuan had quoted over two thousand per pill, and there were eighty-four pills in total.

He gave Gu Mingqiu one, leaving eighty-three.

If he sold them all for two thousand each, that would come to one hundred sixty-six thousand.

After subtracting his ten-thousand expenditure, he could earn as much as one hundred fifty thousand.

But if Gu Mingqiu found it effective, Li Mu Chuan could raise the price by a few hundred and earn even more.

After all, it was a product from the future. Charging over two thousand was not ripping him off.

Right, had he earned any Interference Points this time?

Thinking of this, Li Mu Chuan hurriedly examined the panel before him.

Interference Points: 2.

Only two points?

Li Mu Chuan looked somewhat disappointed, but after thinking it over, a guy who had come right to his doorstep had earned him two points. That did not seem like much of a loss.

But how should he allocate these two points?

Looking at the points, Li Mu Chuan began hesitating again.

Looking at the restarted countdown, he found that this time he had been given quite a bit more time. Li Mu Chuan could rest for five days.
