A Change in Mindset

University City No. 63.

Ever since making the call, Su Yuan had been staring at the time on his phone.

According to the "answer" provided by the Grey Mirror,

ten minutes later, the owner of the white curly-haired puppy would come here.

Then they would be even, money and dog accounted for.

Soon,

the roar of engines suddenly came from afar.

Right after that,

a pink supercar sped over.

It then braked sharply and stopped nearby.

With a whoosh, the car door opened, and a young woman with exquisite makeup stepped out.

Along with a middle-aged woman who looked highly capable.

"That's University City No. 63."

The young woman glanced around and was about to head toward the No. 63 storefront in the distance.

"Miss, wait."

The middle-aged woman beside her immediately stopped her.

She looked at the somewhat dim No. 63 storefront and quietly said a few words.

The young woman hesitated slightly, but ultimately remained where she was instead of going over.

Before long,

several more black sedans drove up.

More than a dozen bodyguards dressed in black suits stepped out.

Only once the bodyguards had arrived did the middle-aged woman relax slightly.

The young woman had said that the caller knew Wangcai's name.

But who knew whether it was real or not?

The lost white curly-haired puppy was named "Wangcai." Not many people knew that, but there were still some.

What if someone had set this up as a trap...

So, whether it was truly Wangcai or not,

the middle-aged woman had to ensure the young lady's safety first.

In the shadows,

Su Yuan looked at the several black sedans behind the pink supercar, as well as the dozen-plus black-clad bodyguards with icy presences.

He felt a little intimidated. If the method given by the Grey Mirror had not been absolutely safe and free of any hidden dangers,

Su Yuan would probably have been considering whether to slip away by now.

Tap, tap, tap. The young woman approached lightly, while the black-clad bodyguards behind her remained on high alert.

Su Yuan steadied himself, immediately got to his feet, pulled the white curly-haired puppy out of his backpack, and walked out.

"Awwoo..."

The white curly-haired puppy seemed to have caught a familiar scent and immediately cried out excitedly.

"Wangcai!"

The young woman instantly recognized the sound and looked toward Su Yuan.

Since Su Yuan was still standing in the shadows,

the young woman could not clearly make out his appearance.

However, although she could not see Su Yuan clearly, she recognized the curly-haired puppy in his arms at a glance.

Even though the puppy's fur was no longer white, but gray,

the young woman was still certain.

This was her Wangcai.

"Let me see."

Suppressing the joy in her heart, the young woman spoke.

Su Yuan paused for a moment before taking the initiative to set Wangcai down from his arms.

"Awwoo!"

The curly-haired puppy immediately dashed into the young woman's arms.

"Wangcai, why have you gotten so thin?"

The young woman looked heartbroken. After carefully checking him over, she found that Wangcai was merely thinner and dirtier, with no other issues.

"Aunt Ye."

The young woman happily hugged Wangcai. "Pay him."

"Yes."

The middle-aged woman beside her nodded, looked at Su Yuan standing in the shadows, and smiled. "How should we pay you?"

"My bank card number is..."

Su Yuan immediately recited the bank card number he had long since memorized.

"It's been transferred."

A moment later, Aunt Ye, the middle-aged woman, spoke.

At the same time,

Su Yuan received a notification that one million had been deposited into his bank account.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Su Yuan nodded. "Received."

After saying that, Su Yuan turned and walked directly into the shadows, disappearing from sight.

During the half hour or so he had spent waiting, Su Yuan had already explored the surrounding area and knew there was a small path behind it leading to the nearby food street.

Inside the pink supercar,

the young woman was teasing Wangcai with a smile all over her face.

Aunt Ye, the middle-aged woman, asked from the side, "Miss, should we investigate that man from earlier?"

After so many days, Wangcai had suddenly been found by someone. Naturally, Aunt Ye could not help but overthink things.

"Investigate what?"

The young woman shook her head. "As long as my Wangcai is safe, there's no need to worry about anything else."

"That's true."

Aunt Ye nodded.

She also felt that she had been overthinking it.

The main reason was that Su Yuan had been far too straightforward.

If someone had really used Wangcai to set a trap to scheme against the young lady and those behind her...

how could they have asked for only one million?

Under the night sky, Su Yuan walked along Pu River, repeatedly checking his bank account balance.

One million.

To Su Yuan, this was an enormous sum, whether in his previous life or this one.

Perhaps many people and families had assets exceeding one million.

But that included all their property, including real estate and other fixed assets.

One million in actual cash was still exceedingly rare among ordinary people.

And this one million was merely Su Yuan's beginning.

Su Yuan gathered his thoughts and looked at the distant skyscrapers and dazzling nightlife.

For the first time, he felt that those towering buildings were so magnificent, and the city's glittering lights so beautiful.

Before, Su Yuan had rushed between those skyscrapers for part-time jobs. Back then, he could only look up at those giants and feel so oppressed he could barely breathe.

But now?

Su Yuan watched them with a calm gaze.

With the Grey Mirror that answered every question, Su Yuan was confident that it would not be long before he became one of the masters of this prosperous Magic City!

Right, this was Pu River...

Su Yuan's thoughts shifted.

He remembered that among the many methods provided by the Grey Mirror, quite a few were related to Pu River.

From ancient times to the present, Magic City's Pu River had witnessed countless events. Too many treasures had sunk to the riverbed and remained undiscovered to this day.

And to Su Yuan, who possessed the Grey Mirror, those treasures and riches were no secret.

Of course, most of the treasures and riches sunk to the bottom of Pu River came with a certain degree of danger and hidden risks.

For example, some had sunk into the middle of the river, where the water was deep and the area was highly visible.

If Su Yuan went to retrieve them, first, he could not guarantee that he could swim there, and second, he could easily be spotted.

There were not many that were truly safe and free of hidden dangers.

At that spot, in the shallow water near Pu River's bank, there was a chest of gold bars.

Su Yuan looked toward a certain point along Pu River.

The chest of gold bars dated back to the wartime era more than a century ago. Its owner and descendants had long since died out.

As long as Su Yuan could retrieve it, there would be no disputes or hidden complications.

As for diving, Su Yuan had been a good swimmer since childhood. Diving to the bottom of a shallow-water area would pose no problem at all.

And the Grey Mirror had also given a clear answer.

Retrieving that chest of gold bars would be absolutely safe. No accidents would occur.

Two days later,

inside the dormitory, Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the floor. Before him lay a mat several square meters wide.

On the mat were all kinds of rare treasures.

Jade, statues, and gold were everywhere.

In addition, the balance in Su Yuan's bank account had skyrocketed to 9.38 million.
