36: Chapter 36 It's a promise, you have to come over often.

After making the report call...

Luo Wei naturally wasn't in a hurry to get too far away.

He stood in a dark corner of the urban village.

He personally witnessed Xia Ningxue appear and call for backup.

The moment the Scavenging Old Man was taken into the police car, the system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point]

He had obtained another intelligence point.

And he had also harvested a whole backpack full of gold jewelry!

Luo Wei's mood at this moment could be described as being at its peak!

Watching Xia Ningxue drive away in the police car, he avoided the surveillance cameras and also left the urban village.

Returning to the Bishui Manor Community and going upstairs into his home, Luo Wei couldn't wait to take the backpack out from the system inventory.

He unzipped it and poured the gold jewelry from the bag onto the floor!

These pieces of jewelry weighed a full thirty or forty pounds!

They were worth at least tens of millions!

He had truly struck it rich this time!

Luo Wei smiled brightly, patiently organizing the jewelry that was tangled together.

With gold prices currently at an all-time high, selling gold at this time would definitely yield a fortune!

However, selling gold on a large scale might attract the attention of relevant departments.

In that case, he would sell it in small amounts multiple times, slowly letting it go.

While Luo Wei was organizing the gold jewelry...

At the company, Chen Aila was slacking off in the restroom while on the clock.

While scrolling through short videos, she came across footage of Zheng Feiyang being taken away by Law enforcement personnel on the street!

Many people were asking what had happened, but the person who filmed the video stated they had just filmed it in passing and didn't know the details.

Chen Aila was secretly shocked; she felt this was her father Chen Yaoting's doing!

Money really can move gods and demons!

He could easily send someone to prison!

However, she had no idea that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Chen Yaoting.

Earlier, Chen Yaoting had arranged for his secretary to investigate Chen Aila's colleague.

Now, the secretary had brought back Luo Wei's information.

The dossier included Luo Wei's family, the schools he attended, the companies he had joined, and some of his interpersonal relationships.

Every piece of data indicated that Luo Wei was just an ordinary person who could be found anywhere.

Previously, Chen Yaoting was worried that Luo Wei was deliberately approaching Chen Aila.

But the records showed that Luo Wei had joined that company even earlier than Chen Aila.

Chen Yaoting naturally didn't want certain people to approach Chen Aila for some ulterior motive.

Since Luo Wei was an ordinary person, he was relieved.

Time flew by, and evening arrived.

Luo Wei had just finished organizing the gold jewelry.

The doorbell suddenly rang, and he went to open the door.

The short Liu Zhixu stood at the door, looking up at him with a giggle.

This girl was really too short; she looked like a neighbor's kid who had come over to play a prank.

"Heehee, I knew you were home!" Without another word, Liu Zhixu grabbed Luo Wei's arm and pulled him toward Room 1602 on the same floor.

"What's going on?" Luo Wei was a bit confused by the situation.

"Dinner, of course!"

Liu Zhixu had already pulled Luo Wei into the apartment.

"If you don't come and eat with us, Nanqiao and I will be terrified!"

"Do you know that a lot of things happened in Honghai City today?"

"What happened?" Luo Wei asked casually.

"You haven't heard?" Liu Zhixu's eyes widened.

"In the afternoon, the reason law enforcement set up checkpoints at various intersections was reportedly because they found someone using a suitcase to dump a body!"

"Oh?" Luo Wei was curious; who was so deranged?

"And there's more!" Liu Zhixu continued.

"When law enforcement was checking, they actually found a car carrying a corpse!"

"Although the killer was caught on the spot, it means the public security in Honghai City is very bad. Who knows, maybe murder cases are happening every day in unknown corners!"

"And that's not even the most terrifying part..." Liu Zhixu said as she hugged Luo Wei's arm tightly.

Her fair little face was full of terror!

"Doesn't Nanqiao like to give leftovers to those scavenging old men?"

"You saw that Scavenging Old Man last night too."

"You would never guess in a million years!"

"He was actually the mastermind behind the Great Catastrophe twenty years ago!"

"He killed a dozen people back then!"

"It's just too terrifying!"

Liu Zhixu pressed close to Luo Wei, her body trembling; she was truly frightened!

Luo Wei had entered the apartment and saw Gu Nanqiao, who was busy in the kitchen wearing a little bear apron.

Gu Nanqiao's pretty face was also full of panic. Thinking back on how she always gave leftovers to the Scavenging Old Man at night, she felt incredibly fearful.

Seeing Luo Wei arrive, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves could finally relax.

Luo Wei's combat skills were very impressive, and he brought a full sense of security!

Learning about this, Luo Wei was somewhat surprised.

He really didn't expect that Scavenging Old Man to confess so quickly.

Although he had known about it all along, he had to act shocked.

"Is that for real? That old man looked harmless, yet he's that terrifying!"

"We were all fooled by him!" Liu Zhixu explained with lingering fear. "That old man had a scruffy beard and looked at least seventy or eighty years old."

"But according to the information released by the police, he's only in his fifties. In short, it's just too scary!"

As Liu Zhixu explained, she burrowed into Luo Wei's embrace, seeking a sense of security.

Seeing this from the kitchen, Gu Nanqiao was speechless.

However, she was a bit envious; she also wanted to feel secure.

Soon, dinner was ready.

Liu Zhixu still stayed close to Luo Wei.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were in a passionate relationship.

Luo Wei didn't mind. He tasted every dish and then gave Gu Nanqiao a thumbs up.

Gu Nanqiao's cooking was truly top-notch!

Even though they were just home-cooked dishes, the taste was excellent!

"It looks like I'll have to come over and mooch meals from you guys often in the future."

Facing Luo Wei's praise and hearing him say that, a faint blush appeared on Gu Nanqiao's face, and she softly said he was welcome.

Liu Zhixu giggled happily, "It's a deal, you have to come over often!"

Almost the entire table of food ended up in Luo Wei's stomach.

In the end, there were no leftovers.

Of course, even if there were leftovers, Gu Nanqiao would never dare to give them away again.

No one could guarantee whether there were other dangerous figures like murderers or Wanted Criminals among those scavenging old men.

In short, only by not interacting with those people could danger be avoided.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Luo Wei didn't stay too long.

He hadn't forgotten that there was still one piece of intelligence to deal with today!

There was a person named Lin Wantang whose capital chain had broken.

So she planned to end her life on the Honghai Bridge tonight.

It was already night now.

He didn't know what time that Lin Wantang would choose to do it.

In any case, Luo Wei had to hurry to the Honghai Bridge...
