Old Wu looked at Xiao Qian, his expression somewhat speechless.
"Here we go again. Didn't I tell you, how could it be Spirit Master? Would such a big shot have nothing better to do than come all the way here to steal gold from Chen Wenhua's house? Although Chen Wenhua's family is rich, they're just nouveau riche; they don't even rank among the top in Ancheng's wealthy circles. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that Spirit Master is really short of money, why would they choose to steal from a nouveau riche instead of the real elites of Ancheng? Do you think that makes sense?"
Seriously? Spirit Master lacking money? What a joke! Those kinds of people are pampered and protected by the Great Xia Country. How could they possibly lack money?
Chen Wenhua listened to Old Wu repeatedly calling him a "nouveau riche," he felt it was increasingly insulting.
However, he didn't dare to refute it, since Old Wu was speaking up for him.
So let them insult us.
Xiao Qian still insisted on his point of view, " Spirit Master would never be short of money, nor would they take advantage of a nouveau riche twice. That's why I said earlier that Chen Wenhua must have offended him, and this is the big boss retaliating."
Although the explanation of "Xiao Qian" is logical, Old Wu thinks the possibility of it being Spirit Master is zero.
Chen Wenhua was almost in tears. "I just said, how could I dare offend Spirit Master? Even if I had nine lives, I wouldn't dare! Besides, if Spirit Master is short of money, I'm willing to offer it to him with both hands. There's no need for him to do it personally."
Old Wu stopped this nonsensical conversation. "Alright, Xiao Qian, stop with the fantasy. Where in Ancheng can you find Spirit Master? Even if a Spirit Master came to Ancheng Fortress No. 31, it would cause a sensation. Don't steer the case astray. Let's analyze what really happened with the gold flying away in this video."
After listening to Old Wu's analysis, Chen Wenhua breathed a long sigh of relief, then glared at Xiao Qian with annoyance.
He was really something Xiao Qian, letting Ancheng lead him by the nose. Constable Wu was right, Ancheng is such a tiny place, what good would Spirit Master do here, especially to steal his money?
As for him offending Spirit Master... that's simply not true!
How is that possible?!
"Could it be drones that transported this gold away?" Chen Wenhua offered his speculation.
Old Wu frowned. "I've speculated about this before, but if it's a drone, it doesn't make sense that none of the many surveillance cameras could have captured it."
"That's really strange... The footage captured by the streamer is definitely real, so why didn't any of the surveillance cameras capture it?"
In the end, Old Wu muttered to himself.
Xiao Qian pouted, "See? You can't figure it out now, can you? I told you it was the work of Spirit Master, but none of you believed me."
Old Wu was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued watching the video, trying to find any clues.
The scene changes.
In a dilapidated house in the slum, coughing could be heard incessantly.
"My dear wife, get up and take your medicine." The old man, leaning on his cane, brought his wife, who was lying in bed, the Chinese medicine he had just brewed.
The old woman frowned. "We're almost out of money for food at home, why did you go and buy me medicine again?"
"Look at what you're saying, your illness is so serious, and you've been dragging it on for so long, how can you manage without medication?"
"Sigh! I'm already very content to have lived to this age."
"Don't say that. Are you planning to go to heaven early and leave me all alone in this world? Alright, don't think so much. The doctor told you to rest well. We'll always find a way to pay for it."
Seeing the old man's stubbornness, the old woman didn't say anything more. She propped herself up on the bed with her arms and struggled to sit up.
"Clang!" Several shiny objects slid off the blanket and fell to the ground.
"Something fell!"
The elderly couple looked down in confusion, and the next second, a bright light suddenly shot out from their two cloudy old eyes.
Inside another rented room.
A single mother is paying respects to her deceased husband.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her face looked haggard.
"Honey, what should I do? We have three children. The eldest is in middle school, the Second is in elementary school, Third is already of school age, but the tuition... I simply can't afford next semester's tuition. Yesterday I went to my parents' house to borrow money, but I didn't get a single penny and was severely ridiculed, told to abandon my three children and remarry. But if I remarry, what will happen to my three children? Waaah... What should I do?"
Just as the woman was crying her heart out, the sound of hurried footsteps came from inside the room.
A five- or six-year-old child, as if presenting a treasure, ran up to her, holding a large gold nugget in one hand.
"Mommy, Mommy, don't cry. This is a treasure I found. I'm giving it to you, so please stop crying."
The woman's tears stopped instantly upon seeing it, and she grabbed the gold into her hand.
" Xiao Bao, where did you get this? You didn't steal it, did you?"
The wrongly accused child pouted, "No, I found it in the room!"
"Found in the room?" The woman walked towards the room, stunned.
"Yes, it was found in the room. Xiao Bao didn't lie to you. If I lied to you, I'd be a bad kid!"
Seeing how serious the child was, the woman believed him on the spot.
The next second, she thought of something and suddenly turned her head to look at the black and white photo in front of her.
"Honey, you heard me and sent the gold, right? That's wonderful... it's wonderful! With this gold, Xiao Bao and the others can all go to school!"
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have earned 30 points for robbing the rich to help the poor, punishing evil and promoting good.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have earned 30 points for robbing the rich to help the poor, punishing evil and promoting good.]
Jiang Fan, who was taking a preliminary test, kept hearing system notifications in his mind.
Needless to say, it was the gratitude of those who received the gold.
The two-day exam passed quickly, and the results were released on the second weekend.
Lan Shengxue stood in front of the bulletin board and saw Jiang Fan's name written in first place. Her delicate brows furrowed suddenly, and her clear, cold eyes stared intently at the bulletin board.
Her best friend Yi Hong, looked on incredulously.
" Jiang Fan is in first place again! This is unbelievable!"
" Shengxue, I think his last time surpassing you was mostly due to luck. You've been studying much more diligently lately, and I thought first place was definitely yours this time, but Jiang Fan still took it from you."
As she spoke, Yi Hong became excited, a look of infatuation appearing in her eyes.
"As expected of the man I've set my sights on, he's truly amazing!"
"Here you are, Shengxue." Yi Hong took out a prepared love letter and stuffed it into Lan Shengxue's hand.
