Is This Reward, System, You're Serious

The information Li Yuanliang provided was basically consistent with what Han Fei and his team had already gathered, without any major discrepancies.

After Li Yuanliang finished his statement, Han Fei stepped out for a moment.

He returned within two minutes.

When Han Fei re-entered the interrogation room, he was holding several sheets of paper, which contained a printout of the conversation between Li Yuanliang and Han Fei.

"This is your statement. Take a look and see if there are any issues. If not, please sign it," Han Fei said as he handed the statement to Li Yuanliang.

After briefly scanning it, the latter replied, "No problems."

He then took the pen from Han Fei and signed his name at the bottom.

"You have successfully apprehended a fugitive. Your reward is - a stock market forecast for the next month!"

Holy crap, what an amazing reward!

A stock market forecast for the next month... isn't that like a money printing machine? Xu Mo's eyes immediately lit up.

Playing the stock market was undoubtedly very profitable.

Even those who hadn't fully mastered the stock market, but only understood the basics, could still make money from it.

Let alone the fact that the system was rewarding Xu Mo with a forecast of the stock market's movements for the next month?

With this reward, Xu Mo would clearly know which stocks would rise, which would fall, and by how much, over the next month.

All he had to do was pick one skyrocketing stock and go all in... Wouldn't making money be as easy as drinking water? It might even be faster than an actual money printing machine!

The case at hand had just been solved.

For the next half day, he should have nothing to do, so Xu Mo planned to use this time to study the stock market thoroughly, then buy stocks and make money!

At this moment, Xu Mo had already started to imagine himself dominating the stock market.

...

As Xu Mo had anticipated, after wrapping up this case, he found himself with free time.

Back at his desk, Xu Mo prepared to study the stock market forecast for the next month, then decide which stocks to invest in.

Although Xu Mo had never traded stocks before and was a complete novice, was this a problem?

Not at all!

With the system's reward, he didn't need to understand these things.

As long as he knew how to buy and sell, he could make big money.

Xu Mo had several tens of millions in savings in his account.

With proper operations, doubling it in a month wouldn't be an issue.

If he happened to catch a few skyrocketing stocks... multiplying all his capital by ten times wasn't impossible!

"View reward!" Xu Mo silently commanded.

The next second, his phone vibrated.

When he checked his phone, he saw that the system had sent him the stock market forecast for the next month.

Before looking at the forecast, Xu Mo had grand ambitions of conquering the stock market.

But after seeing it, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Even though Xu Mo knew next to nothing about the stock market, he was aware of some basic facts, like green representing bad news... the color that appears when stock prices fall.

And what Xu Mo saw now was green, vast expanses of green.

Almost every stock was glowing green...

So much so that Xu Mo's phone was now emitting a green light, casting a greenish tint on his face.

What the hell is this?

System, are you serious? Come out, let's have a chat! Xu Mo felt a tightness in his chest.

This reward was indeed good, good in the sense that... it was fucking terrible!

For the next month, most stock prices would continue to decline. Forget about skyrocketing stocks, there were hardly any that could maintain their original prices without falling.

"Xu Mo, why is your face so green? What are you looking at?" Wang Dachuan curiously peered over: "Oh, I see, you're looking at stocks... No wonder it's glowing green."

Xu Mo: "..."

The next second, he turned off his phone, cursing his bad luck.

It seemed that the idea of making a quick fortune would have to be put on hold for now!

There wasn't much work to do in the afternoon, so Xu Mo spent most of the time slacking off.

This continued until it was time to clock out.

...

Just as he reached his front door, before he could even enter, Zhou Qiaoqiao, An Youyi, Yang Jingxuan, and Li Jiaxin rushed out from the neighboring villa.

They had been waiting for Xu Mo all day, eager to gossip with him when he returned.

Because today they had seen many police officers in the neighborhood, and in the morning, they had noticed a crowd gathered at the entrance of the villa behind theirs.

Of course, they didn't go to watch the commotion, so they didn't know exactly what had happened, which was why they needed to gossip with Xu Mo.

"Why did the police come to our neighborhood today? Did something happen?"

"Someone died in the early hours of the morning. It's been investigated and cleared up now. It was murder," Xu Mo said casually. "You see that building at the back? The deceased lived there."

A moment ago, the four were curious and eager to gossip.

Now, they were suddenly frightened, their alarmed expressions making them look like scared little rabbits.

"Someone died in that building?"

"And it was murder... Has the killer been caught?"

"This is too scary. Isn't the security supposed to be very strict in these high-end villa complexes? How did the killer get in?"

"The security guards must have been so careless! How could they let a bad person in so easily!"

Actually, it wasn't that the security guards carelessly let a bad person in, but rather that the killer was a security guard... However, Xu Mo thought it better not to mention this and scare them further, so he simply didn't bring it up: "Don't worry, the killer has been caught."

Xu Mo glanced at Li Jiaxin.

For a moment, he couldn't understand what they were afraid of.

With such a skilled fighter around, there was really no need to be afraid.

Ordinary people couldn't even get close to her.

Of course, Xu Mo wasn't in the category of ordinary people, he should be able to get close to Li Jiaxin...

"The killer's been caught?" Zhou Qiaoqiao patted her chest and let out a deep sigh of relief. "That's good then."

Hearing that the killer had been apprehended, she visibly relaxed.

However, the next second, Yang Jingxuan stared at the villa behind them and said,

"I've heard that houses where people have died become haunted. We live so close to that place, do you think... the ghost from that villa might come to visit us in the middle of the night?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"

An Youyi: "???"

Li Jiaxin: "???"

Yang Jingxuan's words caused the three who had just relaxed to become frightened again, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

Compared to people, ghosts were certainly more terrifying.

The thought of midnight visits... it was enough to make one shudder.

"That stuff is all fake, what's there to be afraid of?" Xu Mo said with a sigh.

"You're a big man with strong yang energy, of course you're not afraid. But we're four girls living together with not a bit of yang energy, all yin energy, which really attracts ghosts... Oh no, the more I think about it, the more scared I am. I won't even dare to sleep tonight."

Hearing this, Xu Mo shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, where would ghosts come from?

Then he joked, "If you're really that scared and don't dare to sleep alone, you can come find me. At worst, I'll take one for the team!"
