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!"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
