I can dream about my own death.

The next day, Chen Wensheng went to the company and met with Li Yucheng and Wang Feng.

Upon meeting, Li Yucheng excitedly said, "Wensheng, you are truly my lucky star. Ever since I met you, whatever news I cover becomes a hit. If this momentum continues, and I produce three more viral news stories, I'll have already met my annual KPI performance evaluation."

Chen Wensheng was completely confused and didn't respond.

Li Yucheng continued to explain, "This time, the company has set a precedent. Before this gold heist case was even solved, it had already passed the company's broadcast review. If the post-production editing goes quickly, our interview could be broadcast as early as noon today. Once this news airs, it will definitely be an outstanding achievement."

"It's fine," Chen Wensheng replied perfunctorily. He was the kind of employee who was rather laid-back and didn't have much desire for performance; if there was any, that was fine too.

He was more interested in the company's top floor and wanted to know if the company actually had a 104th floor.

Upon hearing Chen Wensheng's perfunctory reply, Li Yucheng's excited expression faded considerably. He awkwardly chuckled and asked, "Wensheng, with such a wonderful surprise, aren't you excited at all?"

"I'm a pretty laid-back person, not really into performance metrics. I'm more interested in the upper floors of the company building, especially the top floor. How much do you guys know about the upper floors?" Chen Wensheng asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Li Yucheng was immediately stunned.

Several seconds later, Li Yucheng came to his senses and hurriedly reminded him:

"749 Media is notoriously hierarchical; lower-ranking employees are not allowed to go to higher floors. If a lower-ranking employee goes to a floor above their own rank and is discovered, they will be immediately fired. 749 Media has always offered exceptionally good benefits; finding such a well-paying job is not easy. Wensheng, I have to remind you, please don't do anything reckless, don't go to higher floors on purpose just to satisfy your curiosity."

Seeing that Li Yucheng and Wang Feng both looked very unwell, Chen Wensheng became even more puzzled. 749 Media is a new media company that produces popular science content, so why does it have such a bizarre employee hierarchy system?

What secrets are hidden in the upper floors of this company?

After this little incident, the three prepared to carry out their interview tasks for the new day.

The three of them walked out of the company building and arrived at the company's main entrance.

Chen Wensheng turned his head and looked up.

Holding a camera, Wang Feng immediately warned seriously, "Wensheng, you absolutely mustn't be curious about the upper floors of the company. If you cross the line, you'll be fired."

"I'm just taking a look, don't overreact, there's no need to make a fuss," Chen Wensheng replied with a smile.

Li Yucheng was also worried about Chen Wensheng because he had seen yesterday that "Chen Wensheng did not follow the rules." Chen Wensheng violated the relevant regulations for journalists by deliberately using ambiguous statements to intentionally guide the interviewee's answers.

This means that if given the opportunity, Chen Wensheng would actually dare to sneak up to a higher floor of the company.

So he gave a reminder: "Wensheng, we're in a period of economic downturn right now, and many people are unemployed. You shouldn't be too curious about the upper floors of the company. Curiosity killed the cat. If you cross the line, you really will lose this well-paying job."

Chen Wensheng nodded helplessly.

If he hadn't had that nightmare about the company's 104th floor, given his lazy and indifferent nature, he would never have had any interest in the company's higher floors in his entire life.

......

The three arrived at the police station and met with detective Li Mubo.

Today, Li Mubo had a gentle smile on his face, a stark contrast to his cold and stern expression yesterday.

Li Mubo stepped forward and greeted them, saying, "Thank you, thank you for counseling Jiang Yanhui and getting the stubborn Jiang Yanhui to cooperate with our police investigation."

Li Yucheng turned to Chen Wensheng and said, "This is all thanks to Wensheng."

Li Mubo turned to Chen Wensheng and asked curiously, "Jiang Yanhui was originally a very stubborn person. My colleagues tried everything, both good and bad, but he just wouldn't cooperate with the police investigation, crying and begging to take care of his wife who has rabies. But after your interview yesterday, he became unusually cooperative with the investigation. What exactly did you say to him?"

"Based on the information the police provided us, I made up a story that was half true and half false. The events went like this..." Chen Wensheng roughly recounted what he had said yesterday.

After listening, Li Mubo frowned deeply and said with a serious expression, "What you're telling might not be a story, but the truth!"

"Huh?" All three of them were shocked.

Li Yucheng was the first to come to his senses and immediately turned to look at Wang Feng: "Turn on the machine."

Wang Feng turned on the camera and started recording.

After regaining his senses, Chen Wensheng asked, "There can't be such a coincidence in the world, right? At the time, I saw in the information that Jiang Yanhui loved his wife very much, so I used his wife as a basis to make up this story, just to get Jiang Yanhui to talk."

"Based on the detailed evidence provided by Jiang Yanhui, my colleagues arrested a migrant worker this morning. This migrant worker is registered in the neighboring city of Tanshan and is owed more than 30,000 yuan in wages by Jiang Yanhui. In the migrant worker's simple rented room, they found twenty bundles of brand-new banknotes, a total of 200,000 brand-new 100-yuan bills. The migrant worker could not explain the source of the 200,000 yuan and eventually could not withstand the pressure and confessed to the crime of digging a hole in the sewer with a machine to steal gold," Li Mubo explained in detail.

"This... is too outrageous." Chen Wensheng still couldn't believe it.

"I caught this migrant worker on the operating table at the First Municipal Hospital. If he hadn't needed gallstone surgery, he would have already escaped Changfeng City after the lockdown was lifted."

"Caught on the hospital bed?" Li Yucheng asked, puzzled.

"Because Jiang Yanhui owed this migrant worker 30,000 yuan in wages, the migrant worker couldn't afford gallstone removal surgery, causing him to suffer from the pain. The migrant worker especially hated Jiang Yanhui. Two months ago, a mysterious person approached the migrant worker, saying that he could get revenge on Jiang Yanhui while also receiving a good reward. The migrant worker agreed, and then started a machine to dig through an underground passage leading to the jewelry store."

"Wow." Chen Wensheng felt this was even more outrageous than a story.

"This migrant worker specifically told the doctor that after the surgery, he would be transferred back to Tanshan City for hospitalization and recuperation. If Jiang Yanhui hadn't cooperated in time and mentioned this suspicious migrant worker, he would have been transferred directly by ambulance after the surgery. Once the migrant worker was transferred and the 200,000 yuan was disposed of, our police wouldn't have had any evidence to suspect the migrant worker of any crime," Li Mubo said with some relief.

"Keep going!" Li Yucheng urged, sensing that Li Mubo hadn't finished speaking and seeing him stop.

Li Mubo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since you helped persuade Jiang Yanhui, without you, the case wouldn't have made much progress in the short term. Now that the case has made such significant progress, I'll reveal some information about the remaining suspects. According to the migrant worker's confession, there were five people involved in the crime. The ringleader had a faint fishy smell on him..."
