74: Chapter 74 Does the lady still want to relive her past?

"You... what do you want?"

Facing the sudden appearance of a dozen police officers, Zhang Yang was completely shocked.

Everything was fine, so why were these people stopping him?

Could it be that the money and stocks the System rewarded him with had been flagged as suspicious by these people?

No!

The System had once said that all this wealth would flow into his pocket through legitimate channels.

Even the most capable person wouldn't be able to find a single irregularity.

"Zhang Yang, someone has reported that you possess a large amount of cash, stocks, and other fixed assets of unknown origin. Now, please come with us to the station to undergo an investigation."

Officer Lin Wanzhu walked with a rhythmic click-clack, stepping closer to Zhang Yang.

Initially, seeing Officer Lin Wanzhu, that valiant policewoman, again had actually made Zhang Yang feel a bit excited.

This policewoman was a stunner, completely leaving Zhang Qian in the dust.

However, her words left Zhang Yang completely dumbfounded.

Someone had actually reported his assets as being of unknown origin—how was that possible?

His funds had all been transferred through legitimate channels; it was impossible for anyone to have detected them.

But then, what was going on right now?

"Beautiful officer, is there some sort of misunderstanding here? Did you make a mistake?"

Zhang Yang panicked.

Because all his wealth, luxury cars, mansions, and stocks had been obtained through the God-level Food Delivery System.

This was his biggest secret.

He couldn't possibly reveal this secret to these people.

"Your name is Zhang Yang, so there's no mistake there."

Officer Lin Wanzhu snorted coldly, then immediately shifted her gaze to the luxury car beside him, showing Zhang Yang no face at all.

Driving a multi-million dollar luxury sports car to deliver food—how high-profile could one get?

He lived up to the name Zhang Yang; he really was quite the show-off.

"Then what if I said my name wasn't Zhang Yang?" Zhang Yang asked tentatively.

"That's even simpler. That would count as deceiving an officer, which only adds to your crimes."

Alright!

Zhang Yang was completely deflated.

He was incredibly depressed at this moment.

Why had he been reported for no reason?

Who on earth was so bored that they came to report him?

Most people, even if they saw someone like him driving a luxury car to deliver food, would at most feel envy, jealousy, or hatred.

Who would have a screw loose, think differently from normal people, and actually suspect that his money was problematic?

The worst part was that they had actually gone and reported him.

It was absolutely maddening.

A depressed Zhang Yang had no other choice at this point.

He didn't have the guts to resist the authorities.

He had no choice but to obediently follow Officer Lin Wanzhu to the police station for investigation.

Zhang Yang had once again been miserably dragged into the police station by Chu Yuan.

One has to say, this Protagonist was indeed quite miserable.

But then again, who told him to be so fond of showing off and acting high-profile?

Driving a luxury sports car to deliver food—if Chu Yuan didn't mess with him, who else would he mess with?

At the same time that Zhang Yang was being taken away, Jiesha had already arrived in the capital and infiltrated the Shen Family.

Shen Family.

Qi Xinyue was in her room, pacing back and forth, unable to sit or stand still.

Ever since her accidental encounter with Jiesha a few days ago, and the things that shouldn't have happened, Qi Xinyue's heart had been in complete turmoil.

Jiesha had appeared out of nowhere and even forced himself upon her.

Qi Xinyue wanted nothing more than to skin him alive, break his bones, and tear him to shreds.

Yet, deep in her heart, there was a trace of desire.

It wasn't that she had fallen in love with that lecherous monk; it was, at most, a physiological need.

As the old saying goes, "At thirty, a woman is like a wolf; at forty, like a tiger." Qi Xinyue was at that age, and she still had needs and desires for certain things.

Twenty or thirty years ago, Shen Congwu had survived an assassination attempt by a competitor, but he had been left completely unable to perform in certain areas.

Naturally, Qi Xinyue had no intention of stepping out to have an affair.

Qi Xinyue was not that kind of fickle woman, and furthermore, Shen Congwu cared deeply about his face and reputation.

If she were to truly go out and dally with disreputable people,

Qi Xinyue could guarantee that Shen Congwu would absolutely not spare a thought for their past relationship.

In fact, to keep that secret permanently, he would likely make her disappear from the face of the earth.

That tryst with Jiesha a few days ago had seemingly opened the door to a new world for Qi Xinyue.

As soon as that thought sprouted from the depths of her heart, Qi Xinyue quickly snuffed it out.

She must not forget her identity; she was the wife of the Shen Family head, Shen Congwu, and absolutely could not have such wild thoughts.

This matter absolutely could not be leaked. To preserve the secret, the only permanent solution was to get rid of that thieving monk.

The moment she returned to the Shen Family, Qi Xinyue mobilized her trusted subordinates to search for Jiesha with all their might and send him to meet his Buddha.

Just as she was feeling anxious, her phone rang.

She picked it up to see that it was a call from her trusted subordinate.

"Madam, per your instructions, we have searched the entire capital from top to bottom, but we still haven't found any news about that thieving monk you mentioned."

"Not only that, but our people haven't even found a single clue. It's as if this thieving monk just appeared out of thin air."

Qi Xinyue, who had initially been somewhat hopeful, felt her anger flare up upon hearing her subordinate's trembling report.

"You bunch of trash! It's been several days, and this is the answer you give me? What use are you to me?"

"I'll give you one last chance. If you can't find him within three days, don't bother coming back."

After angrily hanging up the phone, her indignation was still hard to quell.

Before long, the sounds of crashing and smashing echoed throughout the room.

The Shen Family servants, hearing the commotion, all kept their distance, not daring to approach.

They didn't know if their Madam had fallen ill recently; she had a short temper and was always flying into inexplicable rages.

Several servants who waited on her had been caught in the crossfire and given a harsh dressing-down by Qi Xinyue.

Perhaps Qi Xinyue had reached menopause, as she liked to fly into rages over nothing.

In short, unless something massive happened, they wouldn't dare set foot in Qi Xinyue's room.

As for Shen Congwu, he was too busy attacking the Tianlong Group and plotting against Chu Yuan to pay any attention to Qi Xinyue.

Under Shen Congwu's all-out assault, the Tianlong Group had been beaten until it had no power to fight back.

Conspiracies, open plots, calculated schemes—Shen Congwu had used every dirty trick in the book.

Unfortunately, although it seemed he could crush the Tianlong Group in one blow, the other party, while teetering, simply refused to fall.

Shen Congwu was incredibly annoyed but helpless, and he certainly had no spare time to find Qi Xinyue to discuss life or ideals.

"They can't even catch a thieving monk! A bunch of useless trash! It's infuriating!"

"Damn that thieving monk! Don't let me catch you, or I'll skin you alive, break your bones, and grind your remains to dust!"

Cursing, Qi Xinyue picked up a piece of porcelain and smashed it hard against the ground.

"For Madam to go to such great lengths to find this poor monk—could it be that our tryst left you lingering for more, and you intend to relive those old dreams with me?"

A resonant voice rang out. Qi Xinyue instinctively turned around to look, and there stood the thieving monk, who had appeared before her without her knowing.

Who else could it be but Jiesha?
