Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

"Bai Liqin and Zheng Qiudong, confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Tell me, where did the black bag in the photo come from?"

Inside the academic affairs office, the two were being questioned by the police like prisoners about the black bag they had picked up from the roadside the day before.

Bai Liqin glanced at the photo on the table; it showed the two of them carrying black bags and stepping into the hotel with excited expressions.

Even someone as composed as him couldn't help but show a hint of panic, asking in surprise, "Where did this photo come from?"

The male police officer lightly slammed his hand on the table and coldly said, "You don't need to know where it came from. Tell me where the black bag is and where the money is."

On the other side, Zheng Qiudong looked regretful. He was also being questioned by the police, and his eyes hesitated, unsure whether he should speak.

The policeman opposite him was also an experienced officer. He understood the reason from his expression and said gently, "This matter is not serious. You just picked up the owner's belongings and didn't return them. As long as there is enough money inside, you will only get a verbal warning at most."

Zheng Qiudong was silent for a moment before whispering, "What if some of it was spent?"

The policeman said in a deep voice, "As long as you can fix it, it's not a big problem."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiudong's tense expression eased slightly. He had only spent a little over 1 yuan, and the shortfall wasn't large. He could make up for it by taking out his living expenses and savings from part-time jobs, and borrowing some more money.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything..."

"Very good. Tell me everything in detail, starting from when you found the black bag."

After Zheng Qiudong spoke, Bai Liqin naturally stopped trying to deny it, and the two of them recounted the whole story.

In summary, they were lucky enough to receive the patron's black bag, and seeing the large amount of new money inside, they were blinded by greed and did not return it or report it to the police.

"Zheng Qiudong, you need to repay the 12000 yuan promptly. As for Bai Liqin's 5 yuan, you have one week to repay it..."

With the cooperation of the two individuals, the police found the remaining balance. After discussing the matter with the middle-aged owner, they agreed that as long as the money was returned, they would not pursue legal action against them.

What else could Bai Liqin and Zheng Qiudong say but nod repeatedly to indicate that they would make up the money as soon as possible.

"More than 1 yuan, all my money in the world is less than 1 yuan."

Zheng Qiudong had a headache and his gaze toward Bai Liqin became more hostile. He had said he would call the police immediately instead of hiding it.

Bai Liqin's face was also ashen. His 5 yuan was no small sum either, and getting that much money within a week was simply a dream come true.

If they need to borrow money, who can lend it to them? Who has that much?

The image of Su Li flashed through his mind, but he immediately shook his head; their relationship was quite strained.

"I heard that Yiren has some money, let's borrow some from her," Bai Liqin suggested.

Zheng Qiudong was puzzled and asked, "Where did Yiren get so much money?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that it was Su Li who gave it to him. The latter was very generous to women, and during the two days they were keeping an eye on him, they watched him go in and out of one high-end place after another.

The luxury goods he bought for Luo Yiren were countless.

"This isn't a good idea!"

"What's wrong with that? It's just money, we'll pay it back later. Besides, where are we going to get so much money in just one week?"

Zheng Qiudong thought to himself, "The key is, I don't need that much money, okay..."

In the end, after their evening classes, the two of them asked a female classmate to call Luo Yiren out of her dormitory.

Her hair danced lightly over her shoulders, and she wore a thin, short-sleeved strapless blouse. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her slender waist was accentuated by a mini skirt. Her long, beautiful legs were encased in white leather boots.

Her elegant and lively demeanor, coupled with a touch of sexiness, perhaps because she has a boyfriend, gives her pretty face a stunningly beautiful and radiant look.

"Old Bai, Qiu Dong, what do you want?"

Luo Yiren's clear and sweet voice echoed gently in the night breeze.

Zheng Qiudong awkwardly touched his nose and exclaimed admiringly, "Yiren, you look so beautiful tonight!"

Bai Liqin didn't say anything, but a hint of amazement appeared on her face.

Luo Yiren smiled sweetly, her fair and smooth hands clasped behind her slender waist, and said softly, "Thank you. Just tell me what's up. I have to go out for dinner with Su Li later!"

The two fell silent again upon hearing this. The girl they liked had to go out to dinner with someone else, and then go to a hotel to burn off her energy. There was nothing more tragic in the world than this.

After gathering his thoughts, Bai Liqin looked at the pretty girl and said, "Um... Qiu Dong and I wanted to borrow some money from you."

Although what happened between the two was being spread in secret, it didn't reach everyone in the school in just half a day, and Luo Yiren naturally didn't know about their affair.

"Sure, how much do you want?"

Bai Liqin asked, "How much do you have?"

Luo Yiren paused for a moment, blinked her beautiful eyes beneath her long eyelashes, and said crisply, "A little over 5..."

"Can you lend us the whole thing? We'll pay you back a little later."

"What happened to you?" Luo Yiren looked over with a hint of worry.

The two shook their heads upon hearing this, as they didn't want to reveal what they had done and damage their image among the girl in front of them.

"Alright, I'll go upstairs and get you the money. If it's not enough... I'll ask Su Li if he has any."

Since they didn't say anything, Luo Yiren didn't ask any further. She gave them a few instructions and then went back to the girls' dormitory to get a bank card and handed it to the two of them.

"That's enough. We're off now, bye!"

The two men took the bank card and disappeared from the girl's sight, but in reality, they didn't leave; they followed her all the way.

As Luo Yiren walked out of the school gate, she happily strutted out with her long, fair legs and rushed into the arms of a handsome boy, a sense of dejection and defeat lingered between the two of them.

"Don't bother looking anymore, let's go. There are still several thousand dollars left to pay."

Bai Liqin tugged at Zheng Qiudong's sleeve, glancing at the guy out of the corner of his eye. The guy looked quite distressed; compared to him, the latter was much more deeply in love with Luo Yiren.

Zheng Qiudong lowered his head and followed him into the school.

"What should we do with the remaining money?"

Bai Liqin's eyes flickered for a moment before he said, "I know a boss surnamed He who runs a chain business. He's currently short-staffed. If you're willing to help, earning 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month shouldn't be a problem."

"Me?" Zheng Qiudong looked at him doubtfully. "Aren't you going? Besides, I'm just an undergraduate student. What could I possibly do there?"

Bai Liqin smiled, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't underestimate yourself. You're no worse than others, and you even have an advantage that others don't have."

Zheng Qiudong was surprised and asked, "What advantages?"

"You have excellent speaking skills, can easily pick up topics for speeches, and can stir people's emotions. Mr. He is looking for someone like you."

Bai Liqin continued, "I heard that Mr. He rewarded his subordinates with a lot of good things last year, including houses, cars, and money, all worth more than 10 or 20 yuan."

After hearing this, Zheng Qiudong couldn't help but say, "If that's the case, then I'll definitely do it."

"That's right. Get ready in the next couple of days, buy a suit and put it on. I'll go with you to meet Mr. He..."
