63: Finding a red envelope at the hospital entrance

"I still need to go to the shop to handle some things, will you come with me to the shop?"

Liu Yunshang was happy for a long while, then leaned even closer to Chen Kai.

"Then let's meet on the weekend. I have some things to take care of, too."

Chen Kai said indifferently, looking at the virtual panel of his Intelligence System. Upgrade pages kept popping up; he needed to rush home to upgrade.

"Hmm... alright, then let's meet on the weekend."

Chen Kai nodded, hailed a ride-share on the side of the road, and headed toward his Rental House.

In less than half an hour, the taxi slowly stopped downstairs at the Rental House. He paid the fare readily and got out to return to his Rental House.

Opening the door, Chen Kai couldn't wait to light a cigarette.

"Click."

He looked at the virtual panel of his Intelligence System and roughly calculated that his current balance was 1.68 million. The one million Liu Yunshang gave him definitely didn't count as being obtained through the Intelligence System.

Then, the 240,000 from this time's Score a Bargain could be used to upgrade the Intelligence System twice.

Previously, he had upgraded 1, 3, 4, and 6. If he could still upgrade two more levels...

He would just upgrade Friday and the weekend; anyway, he would soon fill the gap for Tuesday.

By then, every day would be Intermediate Intelligence, and he might even be able to upgrade to Advanced Intelligence!

"Upgrade Friday and the weekend!"

【Ding! Currently upgrading Intelligence for the host...】

【Upgrade successful! Now 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are Intermediate Intelligence.】

Chen Kai looked at the system panel in front of him, his mood was at its peak.

He withdrew 440,000. First, he paid off the 100,000 in online loans. He planned to pay Zheng Liu Chang's 120,000 in person, and he would also pay Liu Yunshang's 100,000 in person.

The remaining 120,000 was to pay back the money to Second Aunt's family. This money! He must pay it back in person!

He also had to buy a car! Then go back and pay it off!

His family had suffered over a year of humiliation; could he just pay off the debt so lightly?

His parents' backs had been bent for so long; he had to make them stand tall!

When he bought a car and drove it back to his hometown's small county, almost half the county would know, and the attitudes of those snobbish relatives would do a 360-degree reversal.

He could not care about face, but he had to ensure his mom and dad had face! People living in the county still cared about such fame, profit, and face.

He thought for a moment and transferred another 100,000 rmb to his mom.

A video call popped up from the other end of the phone.

Chen Kai straightened his clothes, put out his cigarette, and then answered the video call.

As soon as the video connected, his mom's anxious face appeared on screen. "Son? What's wrong? Why did you suddenly transfer such a large amount of money to me? Your dad and I are doing just fine, you don't need to worry about us!"

"As for the money we owe your Second Aunt, we can pay it off in another year. You don't need to worry, son."

Chen Kai smiled. "This 100,000 isn't to pay her back; it's for you two. You've worked hard during this time."

"Your son found a good job again, I'm about to turn things around! I've already saved over 100,000! I'll go back in a few days and pay her 100,000 back in person."

"You two just keep this 100,000 and buy something good to nourish your bodies."

Chen Kai said with a smile. The reason he hid his savings—having over a million in just over ten days—was because which parents wouldn't worry?

Especially since he had been delivering food for so long, and his income had always been stable; it was hard for his mom and dad not to be suspicious of him suddenly becoming so rich.

"This... you... you've already saved over 100,000? Mom can't take this. You keep it and buy more good food to treat yourself. Mom knows you're under a lot of pressure in the big city; make sure to rest more..."

Listening to his mom's nagging, Chen Kai felt exceptionally warm.

"Alright Mom, I know. Hurry up and accept the money. My boss is calling me to work. You and Dad shouldn't work too hard. I'll go back in a while."

"Alright, son, don't work too hard! If you're tired, come home! Mom will make dumplings for you."

Chen Kai nodded and hung up the video call. Only after his mom accepted the transfer did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He ate a quick meal downstairs and then quietly waited in the Rental House until night.

...

At 12:00 AM, Chen Kai sat on the edge of his bed on time and opened the daily intelligence system.

The intelligence, as expected, refreshed on time. He couldn't wait to open and look at it.

【Today's Intermediate Intelligence refresh: At 10:00 AM today, at the back entrance of Jiangnan First Hospital, there is a deliberately discarded envelope. Inside the envelope is some rmb and a 60mm diameter mountain ghost flower money mother coin. Suggested selling price: 45,000】

Chen Kai was stunned. 45,000! Can one mountain ghost flower money be worth that much?

He quickly opened his phone and searched. It turned out that the mother coin was of better quality, used for making molds, and was also rarer.

No wonder it was so expensive.

However... deliberately discarded at the back entrance of the hospital? Wouldn't that be stolen goods?

Thinking of this, Chen Kai slowly frowned.

"Forget it, even if it's stolen goods, at worst, if the police come looking for me, I'll just return it."

Chen Kai quickly set his alarm, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next morning, Chen Kai was woken up by the alarm and sat on the edge of the bed to light a cigarette.

"Click."

He checked the time, quickly changed his clothes, and found a mask in the cabinet to put on.

It was quite normal to wear a mask to the hospital; at least he wouldn't be suspected.

The fact that it was deliberately discarded made him have to be a bit careful.

After dressing neatly, Chen Kai slowly walked out of the Rental House, went downstairs, and rode the little electric donkey toward the back entrance of Jiangnan First Hospital.

The distance wasn't far; in half an hour, he parked the little electric donkey in the parking lot at the back entrance.

He checked the time; it was only a little past nine.

"Hmm? Why is there no envelope?"

Chen Kai looked at the clean ground and scratched his head. Had he come early again?

He looked up and saw that right next to the hospital's back entrance was a Temple, crowded with people. It seemed the incense was quite popular.

There were also quite a few family members taking patients to the neighboring Temple to burn incense.

Chen Kai curiously walked over, his attention constantly searching the ground.

But he gained nothing, not even in the bushes was there any envelope.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket and checked it: 9:30.

"That shouldn't be right. It's almost time for the intelligence reminder, why isn't it here yet?"

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw an old man and an Old Woman walking out of the Temple gate.

The old man's figure was somewhat hunched, wearing a hospital gown and a mask, looking sickly.

And the Old Woman's pants pocket was glowing faintly!

Chen Kai was delighted. Was it this Old Woman who dropped it? Then it wasn't stolen goods!

He slowly followed from beside the bushes and saw the Old Woman walk just a few steps to the hospital's back entrance. She looked around, reached into her pants pocket, pulled out a red envelope, and discarded it in a conspicuous spot as if nothing was wrong.

After discarding it, she walked quickly toward the hospital.
