88: Chapter 88 The 100,000 has been found! The last divination of the day!

Zhou Xiaoxiao dug very deep, until her fingernails were filled with black dirt, yet she found nothing.

Other than a few pebbles at the bottom of the pot, there was nothing.

Zhou Xiaoxiao slumped on the ground, looking at the empty flowerpot, and tears welled up again.

"Master Su... It's not here. There is nothing inside."

The live stream chat exploded instantly.

"A miss? Is this the first time Master Su has missed?"

"I told you, this girl looks so upright, how could she be a thief."

"Zhou Xiaoxiao, you botched this script, hurry up and apologize to them."

"This reversal, my face is swollen from being slapped."

Wu Feifei let out a shrill laugh; she walked to the balcony door and looked down at Zhou Xiaoxiao.

"Did you hear that? You liar!"

"And you call yourself a master of divination? I think you're just a charlatan!"

"Zhou Xiaoxiao, kneel and apologize to me right now, then get out of this dormitory!"

The two roommates also chimed in.

"Apologize! Apologize!"

"What an embarrassment, daring to falsely accuse our Feifei."

Su Yun sat in front of the screen, watching Wu Feifei's victorious posture, his expressionless face devoid of any fluctuation.

He slowly picked up his cup and took a sip of the tea that had already gone cold.

"Student Wu, do you think I asked you to dig in that flowerpot just to find money?"

Wu Feifei sneered.

"Otherwise? What did you want to find? Your lost face?"

Su Yun shook his head, a trace of pity in his tone.

"I had you dig in that flowerpot to let you see how careless you were when you stole the money."

"Is the soil in that flowerpot a bit wetter than the ones next to it?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao subconsciously touched the flowerpot next to it and nodded.

"Yes, the soil in this withered flowerpot is indeed wet."

Su Yun continued.

"That's the leftover milk tea Wu Feifei poured in the night before last."

"Because she was too nervous at the time, her hands were shaking, and she wanted to stuff the money into the flowerpot, but found the soil too hard to push it in."

"In the end, she changed to another place."

Su Yun's voice became a bit deeper, carrying an unquestionable power.

"Xiaoxiao, stand up."

Zhou Xiaoxiao wiped her face and stood up mechanically.

"Look up."

Su Yun's voice sounded exceptionally loud in the quiet dormitory.

"See that smoke detector on the ceiling?"

Upon hearing the words "smoke detector," Wu Feifei's previously rosy face quickly turned pale.

She stood there as if cast under a petrification spell, frozen in place, even her breathing stopped.

Her eyes stared fixedly at the white disc, and her lips trembled violently.

Zhou Xiaoxiao raised her phone, aiming the camera at the ceiling in the center of the dormitory.

It was a very ordinary smoke detector, with a faint red light flashing on it.

The more than two million viewers in the live stream held their breath.

"Does Master Su mean the money is in the detector?"

"Can that thing hold one hundred thousand yuan? You've got to be kidding."

"Look at Wu Feifei's face! She's scared silly!"

"Holy crap, this expression, it's confirmed!"

Su Yun looked at the image on the screen and commanded in a flat tone.

"That detector is a snap-fit type, no tools needed, just twist it to the left to open it."

"Xiaoxiao, go get a stool."

Zhou Xiaoxiao reacted now; she quickly moved a chair over and stepped onto it.

Wu Feifei finally came to her senses; she rushed over like a madwoman, trying to pull Zhou Xiaoxiao off the chair.

"You can't touch it! That's school property! You can't afford to pay for it if you break it!"

Wu Feifei's voice already had a crying tone, sounding extremely shrill.

The two roommates also realized something was wrong and shrank back, not daring to speak.

Su Yun snorted coldly and shouted into the microphone.

"Wu Feifei, if you dare move again, I'll have the police go there right now!"

Wu Feifei was so frightened by this roar that her legs went weak, and she slumped to the ground.

Zhou Xiaoxiao stood on the chair, reached out, and gripped the shell of the detector.

She took a deep breath and, following Su Yun's instructions, twisted it hard to the left.

"Click."

A soft sound.

The shell of the detector fell off.

Immediately after.

Stacks of neatly arranged hundred-yuan bills, bound by red rubber bands, fell from the gap in the ceiling as if they had lost their support.

Clatter.

Pink bills rained down on Zhou Xiaoxiao and covered the entire chair.

One of the bundles of money fell to the ground, rolling right to Wu Feifei's feet.

It was ten full bundles of money.

Each bundle was tightly wrapped in newspaper.

The top bundle indeed had a small corner missing from the top right.

The live stream descended into a frenzy at this moment.

"Holy crap! It really was inside!"

"One hundred thousand! A full one hundred thousand! Master Su is amazing!"

"Wu Feifei, weren't you arrogant just now? Why aren't you shouting now?"

"This reversal is so satisfying! Let's see how this woman tries to argue now!"

"Hangcheng Young Master: Carnival incoming! Master Su is the GOAT!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao stood on the chair, looking at the money all over the floor, unable to even cry out.

She jumped off the chair, trembling, and squatted on the floor, picking up the money one by one.

Wu Feifei sat slumped in the middle of the banknotes, her eyes unfocused, muttering incessantly.

"Impossible, how could you have calculated that..."

"The surveillance was clearly broken, no one saw it..."

Su Yun looked at the farce on the screen, his eyes devoid of any pity.

He tapped the desk lightly.

"Wu Feifei, do you think just because the surveillance was broken, no one would know?"

"In this world, as long as you do it, the heavens will be watching."

"Those two roommates of yours, each took five hundred yuan in hush money from you, right?"

The two roommates hiding in the back turned green with fear upon hearing this and quickly waved their hands.

"No... that's not it! We didn't take any!"

"It was Feifei who insisted on giving it to us, we didn't know it was stolen money!"

Su Yun ignored their infighting and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, the money has been found, you don't need me to teach you what to do now, right?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, took out her phone, and dialed the number she had already called many times.

"Hello, is this 110? I want to report a crime, the person who stole the money has been found."

Upon hearing the words "report a crime," Wu Feifei completely collapsed; she crawled over, trying to grab Zhou Xiaoxiao's leg.

"Xiaoxiao, I was wrong! Please forgive me this once!"

"I was just confused for a moment, I'll return all the money to you, and I'll pay you another ten thousand, okay?"

"Please don't report it, if I get expelled, my whole life will be ruined!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao kicked her hand away, her eyes full of determination.

"Ruined?"

"When you stole my mother's life-saving money, did you ever think about whether I would be ruined?"

"Wu Feifei, people like you don't deserve forgiveness."

...

Just then, the dormitory door was pushed open.

Several police officers in uniform walked in; apparently, since Zhou Xiaoxiao had reported it earlier, the police had been nearby investigating the case.

The leading officer looked at the banknotes all over the floor, then looked at Wu Feifei slumped on the ground, his face sinking.

"Wu Feifei, right? Come with us."

When Wu Feifei was taken away, she cried until her voice was hoarse, dragged out like a pile of mud.

The two roommates who took the hush money were also taken away by the police to assist in the investigation.

The dormitory finally quieted down.

Zhou Xiaoxiao hugged the recovered money and bowed deeply to the phone screen.

"Master Su, for this great kindness, Zhou Xiaoxiao will never forget it in this life."

Su Yun waved his hand.

"Alright, hurry to the hospital and pay the surgery fees."

"Your mother's surgery will be very successful, live well in the future."

The connection hung up.

Su Yun looked at the merit points crazily rising in the backend, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

[Ding! Host has punished evil and promoted good, successfully helping someone recover life-saving money, reward merit points: 150!]

Su Yun drank the last bit of water in his cup and smiled at the camera.

"Alright, today's two divinations are finished."

"We are ready to start the last divination."

As soon as he finished speaking, the number of people in the live stream refreshed, breaking directly through three million.

Everyone was waiting, wondering what kind of secret Su Yun would dig out in this last divination.

Su Yun's finger tapped lightly on the screen.

A golden Lucky Bag jumped out again.

"For the last divination, the one drawn is the fated person."

"Let me see who this last lucky person is."
