Chapter 55 The Cops Are Here
The next morning, when Shen Zhaoyi woke up, the sunlight outside the window was just right.

Su Ye had already gone to work, and there were several unread messages on her WeChat.

After replying "Good morning" to both him and Han Ziyang, I opened Mumu's chat window.

[Sister, are you awake? Is anyone else lying next to you?]

Even through the screen, Shen Zhaoyi could imagine the mournful tone in his voice, but this kid was easily pleased and didn't pay much attention to him, instead checking what Fire had posted.

It was a reminder to her that she shouldn't forget to go to the live stream at 2 AM tonight.

Looking at the time, she felt a little discouraged.

I finally managed to get two nights of early sleep.

Fortunately, this race isn't held every day.

Staying up all night once in a while shouldn't be a problem, right?
She habitually replied "Received," and walked out of the bedroom, just in time to see Xu Meng grabbing the tycoon and showing off to her: "Zhaoyi! It can fly!"

"Huh? Really?" Shen Zhaoyi leaned closer in surprise.

It's only been a short time since I bought it. Didn't I used to walk on it every day before?
Seeing that she didn't believe her, Xu Meng started demonstrating directly.

He smugly placed the tycoon on the coffee table, took two steps back, and opened his arms: "Big shot, come here!"

The little guy paced back and forth a couple of times, then poked his head out a few times, seemingly gauging the distance, before actually flapping his wings and flying over.

It was a bit unstable, but luckily Xu Meng caught it with quick reflexes.

"Its flight feathers haven't fully grown yet, but it'll be over in the next few days."

"By the way, all the windows at home will have to be closed then."

Shen Zhaoyi nodded.

Anyway, the weather is getting warmer, and we have the air conditioning on at home, so it's fine with the windows closed.

After lunch, she sent the video she had just recorded to Su Ye.

While others are learning to walk, it is "learning to fly."

【cute.】

After chatting for a bit, Su Ye had more "work" to do.

There was no one else on WeChat who needed her reply, so she spent the whole afternoon holed up in the living room, dragging Xu Meng along to catch up on the variety shows she hadn't finished watching a couple of days ago.

……

That evening, using the same old app and time, Shen Zhaoyi took her max-level account to Victoria Harbour.

The hosts on and off the mic had just finished their shift change when Xiao Che couldn't wait to start mentioning Su Ye.

[Brother Ye, I must denounce Consort Qi for usurping the throne and attempting to become the new number one!]

[Moon: No, how dare you steal my lines!]

[Changfeng: I testify that this is absolutely true; please sentence him to death!]

[A-Yue: I second that.]

Faced with everyone's "kicking him when he's down," Ziqi didn't sit still either, immediately typing that he was even more wronged than Dou E.

As someone in the know, Shen Zhaoyi was amused and showered Su Ye with gifts, making sure everyone got a share.

This woman always arrives with a lavish spending spree, starting at a million dollars. Her longtime fans are used to it, and some have even started explaining her extravagant lifestyle to newcomers.

Two hours passed by in this playful and mischievous manner.

At 11 o'clock, Su Ye sent her a message after finishing his show.

Are you going to sleep now?

The translation of this sentence is: Do you need to connect via voice call right now?
Shen Zhaoyi glanced at the time; there were still three hours left. Thinking about Su Ye's insomnia, she decided to try to get him to sleep first.

When the call was made and answered, she got straight to the point:

"No singing or talking tonight, let's just close our eyes and go to sleep!"

Fortunately, Su Ye listened to her in everything and lay down on the bed without any doubt.

However, things don't always go as planned, and Shen Zhaoyi fell asleep before him.

It was past 2 a.m., and Fire had already started streaming, but the long string of IDs never appeared.

He sat in the driver's seat, his fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel.

At that moment, Qiu Ze crouched down and leaned close to his ear, asking, "Brother, what about the investment you got? Has it arrived yet?"

Pei Yan turned his head to the side.

I was already annoyed by this kid's shameless persistence in following me, but he just kept coming closer.

He took out his spare phone, logged into WeChat, and sent a message to Shen Zhaoyi.

[The race is about to start, are you still coming to watch?] Two minutes later, there was no response.

Will it be cancelled?

Pei Yan pressed his tongue against his back teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then tried to make a phone call.

In the bedroom at Biyue Bay.

Shen Zhaoyi was awakened from her sleep by the ringing of a bell.

She grabbed her phone, and the word "Fire" on the screen instantly snapped her back to reality.

Oh no, I think I overslept!
Press the button on the phone.

Over here, Su Ye's breathing was even and deep, indicating that he was already fast asleep.

She hung up the call and quickly replied to Fire: 【Coming.】

Open Douyin (TikTok), and you don't even need to search for it; his live stream will appear directly on the homepage.

A payment prompt popped up. Shen Zhaoyi clicked to pay, and then blinked, the screen changed.

Under the pitch-black night, the frame of the modified car in front of you can be vaguely seen.

Pei Yan saw her enter with that conspicuous account name before tossing the phone to Qiu Ze.

Off-screen, Shen Zhaoyi noticed the change in location and typed: [Changed location?]

"Hmm," Pei Yan mumbled in response, offering no further explanation.

At this moment, the surrounding engine noise suddenly increased, and the barrage of comments also began to change direction, urging him to open the market quickly.

"What's the panic?" he replied lazily, tapping the screen twice.

The betting interface popped up in the upper left corner, and the group of rich kids immediately cheered and placed their bets.

Shen Zhaoyi was also swayed and bet 5000 diamonds on the winning side. (I made this up; rejecting gambling and drugs is everyone's responsibility.)
As the flag was positioned not far away, the moment it was raised, the roar of engines instantly tore through the desolate night sky.

The game officially begins.

Several cars shot off like arrows, but Pei Yan stayed at the back of the line at a leisurely pace.

Just as he was about to enter the first S-curve, he downshifted and accelerated, instantly overtaking three cars.

That drift was amazing!

It still has to be Fire, the god of overtaking on curves.

[This technique looks vaguely familiar, doesn't it?]

[Aa ...

I bet double with my buddy, so give it your all!

Double the stakes? You guys play this big offline?

Shen Zhaoyi stared at the screen, her palms unconsciously clenching.

She was also secretly cheering for Fire.

With the last bend just around the corner, and about to close in on the lead car and overtake it, suddenly, the sound of police sirens came from afar!
From far to near.

"Damn it!" Pei Yan cursed under his breath and slammed on the brakes.

The previously heated discussion in the live chat has turned into a chaotic mess:
Did you hear that right?

What did you do wrong? The cops are here, let's go!

[Run! Fire!]

[Oh no, oh no, oh no, my money...]

The live stream feed started shaking, and Pei Yan was grabbing the tripod and running away into the distance.

The shadow in the shot reveals a leg encased in cargo pants.

The next second, the screen suddenly went black—

[The streamer has been disconnected]

Shen Zhaoyi stared at her phone, looking completely bewildered.

what happened?

Why run?
What are the police doing here?
Are they arresting Fire?

She sent him a private message, but it showed as unread. She then went to WeChat to ask about the situation, but there was still no response.

Has this person done something wrong?
The long-awaited bonus chapter is finally here! In this new month, shower me with your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
Then, I consistently update two chapters every night at midnight, with additional chapters added depending on the amount of draft material.

I'd also like to ask everyone what triggers you might have, in case some of you find yourself thinking, "Hey, this is about things I don't like," and then drop the story halfway through. Because it's a story with multiple male leads, it involves too many points, and it's impossible to perfectly cater to everyone's feelings.

One last question: if I start cooking in the main text, will you all get off the table? This is just a question; it doesn't mean I'll actually write it that way later. The book was initially titled "Using Reward Cash Back to Raise Fish, I Became a Sea Queen," and the title itself suggests the content deviates from normal romantic views. I was constantly worried about being criticized later on, which made me write hesitantly.
