"Officer, I admit I was wrong. I’ve realized my mistake. I just wanted to show off a little because I have some money to spare."
"Do you know how miserable I am? When I caught her cheating, there were four people in the room! Who can bear wearing such a big green hat?"
Chu Tao broke down into tears while giving his statement at the police station.
It was just too tragic!
How could he be this unlucky?
Even the police officers handling his case were left speechless. After hearing his story, they couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
But the kind-hearted officers didn’t know how to comfort Chu Tao.
"By the way, Mr. Chu, was your girlfriend cheating with four men? If it involves more than three people, it’s considered group promiscuity. Next time they book a room, you can just call the police..."
Chu Tao’s mouth twitched.
What did that even mean?
Was he supposed to stake out their next rendezvous?
Was this a joke? He’d already been through this once... and now he had to go through it again?
But after thinking it over, he realized he didn’t have any better options.
...
Chu Tao paid a fine and was released again.
Damaging currency was a serious matter that could even affect the nation’s image, but it could also be considered a minor offense, not even warranting detention.
But it was still infuriating!!!
"Hey, Money-Wasting System, are you there? I’m starting to think you’re not a Money-Wasting System at all. You’re more like a Jinx System."
"Ever since you showed up, I’ve been to the police station twice in three days."
【Should I leave then?】
Chu Tao chuckled. "No, no, you’re my golden goose."
But just as Chu Tao stepped out of the police station, someone called him back.
"Mr. Chu, please come back for a moment! Someone just reported that there’s an issue with the source of funds in your account."
Chu Tao: "..."
Do I even need to say how unlucky this is?
Three trips to the police station in three days—who else could pull that off?
...
"Mr. Chu, your funds are of unclear origin. We suspect you’re involved in an overseas money-laundering operation. Your bank account has been frozen."
A female officer approached Chu Tao with a laptop, delivering the news that left him dumbfounded.
"Officer, I’m being framed! The money is completely legitimate. How could it possibly be linked to money laundering?"
Chu Tao was genuinely panicking now because this concerned his biggest trump card.
If his bank account was frozen, how was he supposed to waste money?
This was going to be the death of him!
The female officer smiled faintly. "Mr. Chu, we’re currently investigating, but your account did receive 15 million yuan recently, and 2 million was transferred out not long ago. There’s a strong suspicion of money laundering."
Cold sweat dripped down Chu Tao’s forehead.
This time, he was truly sweating bullets.
"System Bro? Are you there? Are you even reliable? How could this have been detected?"
【I don’t know. I thought I had all the connections sorted out. How could this happen?】
It was clear that even the system was baffled. It had no idea why such a ridiculous situation had occurred.
"By the way, System Bro, aren’t you supposed to be able to hypnotize people? Why don’t you just hypnotize these officers?"
However, his suggestion was met with silence from the system.
After a long pause, the system finally spoke.
【Host, do you know what national fortune is? These officers carry the nation’s fortune. It’s best not to clash with them.】
Chu Tao sighed in frustration. "Then what am I supposed to do? Am I going to be locked up?"
But the system offered no further explanation to Chu Tao’s doubts.
......
"Jiang Che, I passed my exam!"
As soon as Bai Qiangwei returned home, she didn’t even bother taking off her shoes before excitedly throwing herself into Jiang Che’s arms. She clung to him, nuzzling her face against his chest and inhaling his scent deeply.
After three days apart, the girl missed Jiang Che terribly.
"Oh? How did it go?"
Jiang Che was utterly indulgent with his woman. He held her up with one hand under her bottom and wrapped the other around the back of her neck.
"My teacher paid for me to skip a grade. I took the Level 8 exam directly. Actually, I could’ve gone straight to Level 10, but my teacher said I should focus on strengthening my foundation first."
It was clear that Bai Qiangwei was overjoyed.
【I need to work harder to become even better, so I can be worthy of standing by Jiang Che’s side.】
Ever since she started dating Jiang Che, Bai Qiangwei had always felt insecure.
She used to be nothing more than a cold-blooded mercenary, skilled only in killing and nothing else. Standing next to Jiang Che, she felt like a mere decoration, not even knowing basic etiquette or fashion.
But if she became a world-class pianist, everything would be different.
At the very least... she wouldn’t embarrass Jiang Che when standing by his side.
For the sake of her love, she was willing to work hard to become a better version of herself.
"Hah... my little Qiangwei is so clever."
Jiang Che leaned down and planted a soft kiss on the girl’s forehead.
Bai Qiangwei lowered her head, a shy smile spreading across her face.
This scene was witnessed entirely by the little Ragdoll cat, Su Mianmian.
Su Mianmian covered her eyes with her tiny paws and lowered her head.
【This sickeningly sweet romance is nauseating!】
【Wuwu~ I feel like a peeping Tom... no, a peeping cat, watching someone else’s happiness.】
Of course, despite her complaints, she couldn’t help but reveal a faint, indulgent smile. Su Mianmian, who had never been in a relationship before, adored watching these sugary-sweet scenes.
【What? Su Mianmian, do you want to experience it too? When you transform... I’ll help you fulfill that dream.】
Su Mianmian’s expression changed. She had been living in the Jiang Family Villa for a month or two now and was quite familiar with Jiang Che’s personality.
Jiang Che was anything but serious. If she were to transform... he’d definitely tease her mercilessly.
She could already imagine what he’d say: "Miss, you wouldn’t want anyone to know about your ability to transform, would you?"
Just the thought of it made the base of her tail ache.
Just look at Yu Wan’er, the little loli who probably hadn’t even woken up yet!
...
It wasn’t until evening that Yu Wan’er finally emerged from the bedroom with Ye Mengyao.
The little loli was dressed in a brand-new bunny onesie, with droopy bunny ears on her sleeping cap, making her look adorably silly.
She wore a pair of sandals, her pink toes peeking out, round and delicate like tender lotus roots.
Yu Wan’er, who had been asleep all day, was still in a daze. But when she saw Jiang Che, her face turned pale, and she hid behind Ye Mengyao.
Jiang Che chuckled softly. Yu Wan’er was the type of brat who never learned her lesson. Right now, she was scared, but she’d forget all about it as soon as she recovered. In three days at most, this little girl would be bouncing around again.
