Inside the restroom of the breakfast restaurant.

The bright marble floor cast shadows on people, and water splashed onto the white jade table. Su Li took out a tissue to wipe her hands, while the head of the bodyguards, Zhao Dalong, was giving a report behind her.

"Based on the information we have received so far, Zheng Qiudong and Bai Liqin spent a lot of money to buy a camera and have been appearing around you in batches since the day before yesterday, whenever you leave the school... We suspect they may have some ideas about you, but their purpose is not yet clear."

Zhao Dalong, a retired ace reconnaissance company officer, is 183 centimeters tall with a muscular physique that gives him a broad and powerful appearance.

Su Li stood at the bathroom door, her gaze fixed on Luo Yiren eating breakfast in the distance. Her eyes turned cold: "You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Compared to defense... I prefer to take the initiative."

Zhao Dalong bowed slightly, gesturing as if to listen.

"Arrange for someone...someone unrelated to us, to go to the bank and withdraw 30..."

After listening to Su Li's vicious plan, Zhao Dalong's square face remained unchanged. He nodded, indicating that he would make all the necessary preparations.

Su Li then returned to his seat. Luo Yiren, seeing that he had taken so long, said coquettishly, "It took you so long to go to the restroom! The soup's gone cold!"

"I got a call from a business friend. Let's eat. After we eat, I'll take you shopping."

After breakfast, the two took a car directly to the city's most bustling shopping mall. He understood women's thoughts quite well and spent money lavishly without any restraint.

Upon receiving the order, the subordinates acted swiftly, first withdrawing 30 yuan in cash from the bank and putting it in a black bag.

Upon arriving at the designated location, Zhao Dalong personally directed remotely, instructing his partner, who was carrying the bag, to cleverly allow Bai Liqin and Zheng Qiudong to retrieve the black bag.

Seeing Su Li and Luo Yiren emerge from the hotel looking all lovey-dovey, he was feeling down when he unexpectedly found a black bag.

"Whose bag is this?"

"Was it that middle-aged man who rushed past just now?"

As Bai Liqin spoke, he casually unzipped the black bag, and what appeared inside stunned the two of them.

The money, a bright red sheet of money, was clearly just withdrawn from the bank; it was brand new.

"This... must be at least several hundred thousand, right?" Zheng Qiudong was shocked. He had never seen so much money in his life.

Bai Liqin quickly pulled the chain up, grabbed Zheng Qiudong's arm, and hurriedly walked into the school.

"Where to?"

"Back to school..."

Zheng Qiudong was taken aback, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face. He said in a low voice, "This money was withdrawn from the bank by someone else. It will definitely be found if it's lost. It's better not to take it."

Bai Liqin retorted bluntly, "Are you stupid? Who knew we took this money? There's at least 20 yuan in there. How many years do you think you'd have to work after graduation to earn that?"

"But……"

"No buts. Let's go back to the hotel near the school and find a safe place to discuss this."

In the end, Zheng Qiudong could not resist the temptation of money, so he silently opened a small hotel near the school with Bai Liqin and moved in.

After locking the door, the two put all the money from the black bag on the bed and carefully counted it.

"30, all real money."

A hint of excitement flashed in Bai Liqin's eyes. He never expected to encounter such a good thing today. Although it was unpleasant to see the person he liked coming out of the hotel with someone else, with this money, his gloomy mood instantly turned cheerful.

Zheng Qiudong wasn't as optimistic as him. He said in a deep voice, "This is a huge sum of money. What will happen to the owner if we really keep it for ourselves?"

Bai Liqin felt a surge of anger and cursed Zheng Qiudong inwardly for being ungrateful.

He gathered his thoughts and said gently, "Qiu Dong, let's not talk about anything else, just whether you want this money or not. Deep down, you probably do... I know you want to start your own business and open a job placement agency."

You take half, I'll take half, and if neither of us says anything, how will anyone know?

"But……"

Zheng Qiudong wanted to say something more, but Bai Liqin interrupted him directly, saying, "If you really don't want it, then don't stop me, okay? Just pretend this never happened, pretend you didn't see this black bag... how about that?"

He didn't believe Zheng Qiudong wouldn't be tempted. He saw right through the kid. He had a high aptitude for learning, but his personality was always indecisive. He was kind, but he would also abandon his principles for his own benefit.

Sure enough, after hearing Bai Liqin's words, Zheng Qiudong hesitated for two or three seconds and then said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. You get half and I'll get half."

Bai Liqin sneered inwardly, then smiled with satisfaction. He pulled out two bills from his pocket and handed them over: "Go downstairs and buy two bags. We'll split them. Remember, don't deposit the money in the bank; spend it as soon as possible."

"I understand. I'll get the employment agency up and running in the meantime."

Zheng Qiudong had always wanted to start his own business, and after seeing Su Li's achievements, his enthusiasm only grew stronger.

The two then divided the money and immediately began their operation, unaware that the entire scene had been photographed and captured by someone.

"Boss, should we call the police now?"

Zhao Dalong handed two stacks of photos taken by his men to Su Li, and seeing that Su Li was looking at them carefully, he asked in a low voice.

"Call the police now... never mind, let's call the police!"

Su Li originally planned to call the police after the two had spent half of the money, but who would not call the police immediately if 30 yuan was stolen?

Going to the police after a while is clearly a scheme to frame someone.

Considering various factors, Su Li felt that it would be better to teach the two a lesson for now, and if they still harbored any ideas, it wouldn't be a bad idea to send them in directly.

The computer store manager, who lost 30 yuan, immediately reported the case to the local police station.

30 is a huge sum of money in any era. The police who received the report did not dare to delay and immediately began to search for clues along the streets.

Cameras were not widespread in those days, so people could only carefully check the movements of passersby and shopkeepers in the surrounding area.

Zhao Dalong's men also appeared at just the right moment on the clues, leading everyone to the hotel outside the university that Zheng Qiudong and his companion had booked, based on their memories.

From the time the report was filed to the time the crucial clue was found, only one day had passed. After questioning, the hotel receptionist immediately said that she remembered the two young college students carrying black bags.

After some investigation, the clues pointed directly to students from the university across the street.

After a private conversation with the university's academic affairs office leaders, the police finally identified Zheng Qiudong and Bai Liqin through photos.

"Old Bai, Qiu Dong, Deputy Director Li from the Academic Affairs Office is looking for you two."

After the last class of the morning, the two were called aside by their counselor to listen to what the other had to say.

"Teacher, what does Deputy Director Li want to see us about?"

"How should I know? Hurry up and go, don't keep the boss waiting."

Confused, the two walked through the teaching building and arrived at the academic affairs office building. They knocked on the door, received a response, and went into the office.

When they saw the police officers in uniform inside, their hearts sank and they had a bad feeling.
