Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Shen Qingzhou wasn't saddened that Su Xi had run off abroad without even saying goodbye. They were just men and women, and being together was merely a way to release their desires. There was definitely some affection between them, but it wasn't anything deep.

Shen Qingzhou regrets that she ran away too quickly; he hadn't gotten tired of her yet, nor had he managed to extract more money from her.

I wonder if she took the painting with her. If she did, she'll come back sooner or later.

If they didn't take it with them, then their relationship probably came to an end.

Seeing Shen Qingzhou sitting there in a daze, Chang Shengli reached out and tapped the table.

"I know Su Xi has something to do with you. I'm warning you, don't do anything illegal, or I'll personally send you to jail," Chang Shengli said with a serious expression.

"So she ordered Zhou Minghan to kill him?"

Shen Qingzhou threw the banana peel in her hand into the trash can next to her.

Chang Shengli was speechless for a moment, because Zhou Minghan's killing was purely accidental.

So strictly speaking, Su Xi didn't really commit a crime.

Su Xi suspected that Li Yunsheng's parents knew the key, so she used Zhou Minghan to investigate the key's whereabouts, which was a risky move.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Minghan found Shen Qingzhou and eventually obtained the key.

Unexpectedly, it resulted in a death, and the matter escalated significantly.

Moreover, that money is all overseas, and it will be difficult to get it back to China in a short period of time.

So she decisively chose to go abroad. With money, there's nowhere you can't stay.

Although being a lawyer is a respectable job now, once she has money, she can hire countless "respectable" people to endorse her.

"That's embezzled money; it must be turned over to the national treasury," Chang Shengli said.

"oh."

"You just... you seem quite dismissive?" Chang Shengli said, somewhat annoyed.

"Will this money be returned to those who were scammed?"

"Of course it will be returned."

Although Chang Shengli said this, he lacked confidence when he spoke.

According to legal procedures, these funds would indeed be returned to the victims, but the company involved far too many victims, and the 300 million was only a small portion of them.

Therefore, returning the money to the victim is a lengthy and difficult process.

and so……

"I haven't even asked you yet. According to Zhou Minghan's confession, when he commissioned you, you asked him for 10%?"

"Not that much. The introducer and the middleman will each take three points from this part."

This couldn't be hidden, so Shen Qingzhou simply admitted it directly.

"That's over 28 million yuan. Don't you know it's embezzled money? How dare you take it?" Chang Shengli rebuked.

"I don't know. I only take what's rightfully my payment. Besides, money isn't inherently clean or dirty. I've left two hundred dollars here; tell me, which bill is dirty and which is clean?"

"Do you think I've never watched 'Lurking'?" Chang Shengli was amused by the situation.

In the TV series "Lurking," Xie Ruolin has a line: "Now, here are two gold bars. Tell me, which one is noble, and which one is despicable?"

Shen Qingzhou talked nonsense and didn't mention money laundering at all.

"You little rascal, you're not behaving yourself. We'll freeze your account if you don't behave."

"Ha~, I don't have an account, neither WeChat Pay nor Alipay," Shen Qingzhou said smugly.

Shen Qingzhou stated that she was someone who could not be chosen at all.

Chang Shengli wanted to say something more, but Shen Qingzhou quickly stopped him.

"Alright, alright, you're a police officer, not a court. Whether I'm guilty or not is up to the court to decide."

Shen Qingzhou said this because the police only have the power to enforce the law, while the courts have the power to make judgments.

"You brat, can't you just walk the straight path?" Chang Shengli stormed off angrily.

But Shen Qingzhou didn't care. Ever since he set up this firm, the two of them had been arguing frequently, because to put it bluntly, this line of work was all about skirting the edge of the law.

Because many investigative activities actually involve infringing on the privacy of others.

Chang Shengli frequently assigned Shen Qingzhou investigative tasks because he didn't want him to go astray because of money.

Shen Qingzhou understood his good intentions, but felt that he was too upright and inflexible, so the two often argued and bickered when they met. He was like the disobedient son of the Chang family, causing his old father a lot of worry.

Seeing Chang Shengli leave, Shen Qingzhou took out his phone and made a call.

"Aunt Chen, will you be home tomorrow night? I'd like to come over for dinner."

"Okay, I'm off tomorrow, you can come over at noon." A gentle woman's voice came from the phone.

"Is Uncle Chang going back at noon?"

"No, he has a lot of work at the bureau, he definitely won't be able to come back at noon."

"Then I'll go over tonight, and have a drink with Uncle Chang."

"Okay, then I'll prepare two more dishes for tomorrow night."

"It's settled then, bye."

After Shen Qingzhou finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.

Aunt Chen is Chen Ruomei, Chang Shengli's wife, and the person Shen Qingzhou almost called "Mom" back then.

"I'll argue with you and then have to eat your wife's cooking. I'll make you furious," Shen Qingzhou thought to himself.

Shen Qingzhou lay back in the chair, propped his legs up on the table, lit another cigarette, blew smoke rings, and began to think about where to have lunch tomorrow.

Should I look for Xiaodan, Jiaru, or technician number 88, Xiaoli...?

Xiaodan is a good cook, but tomorrow is Saturday, so her husband might be home.

Although Jiaru can't cook, she's rich, young, and a college student. But after a meal, she'll pester him for at least two days; she's too clingy.

Xiaoli is the best; she's beautiful and kind-hearted. She's a bit poor, but she's good at understanding people's clothing and has a skill. The only downside is that she always wants to marry him, which is unacceptable.

……

Just as Shen Qingzhou was troubled, Xiao Qiu suddenly stretched her little head over and took a deep breath.

Shen Qingzhou was both amused and exasperated, and reached out to rub her little head.

"This is cigarette, not incense. What are you doing smoking this stuff?"

"I'll try it," Xiao Qiu said earnestly.

"How are you feeling?"

"It doesn't taste good, it smells bad."

"Right, so don't try it casually next time."

"Oh~ Oh~" Xiao Qiu nodded obediently, then asked curiously, "Brother, why do you like to 'eat' smelly things?"

Shen Qingzhou: ……

Oh dear, he had no way to refute it.

"Xiao Qiu, what are your plans for the future?"

"What are your plans?"

"So, what do you want to do in the future? Just drift along like this forever?"

"I want to play forever, hey~" Xiao Qiu shouted, looking happy, showing no sign of being upset because she was a ghost.

"And then what? Just keep playing like this?"

"Yeah, I'll play until I turn into an old man."

Xiao Qiu nodded her little head, looking very serious, not at all like she was joking.

Shen Qingzhou looked at her and asked, "Does your mother know how to cook?"

"Of course! My mom's cooking is amazing! I can eat three huge bowls of food every time...!"

As Xiao Qiu spoke, she even spread her arms out to demonstrate. If it were really as she said, it wouldn't be a rice bowl, it would be a pig trough.

"My grandfather also told me to have three bowls, a full three bowls."

Shen Qingzhou didn't react at first, then remembered that her name was Qiu Xiaoman, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Have your mother come over tomorrow to cook for me, and I'll treat you to some incense."

"Okay~" Xiao Qiu was very happy to hear that.

Shen Qingzhou was also very happy; at least their meal for tomorrow was sorted out.

Then he started thinking about what to eat the day after tomorrow. Maybe he should consider Jiaru. Although that girl is clingy, she has a high spending level and good quality of life.

Her best friend seems pretty good too... Oh dear, I can't let my imagination run wild, stop, stop...

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Qingzhou put her feet down, feeling a little strange. Who would come looking for her at this time?

"Come in."
