I was just telling a story, why is the whole internet urging me to turn myself in?

Shen Feng yanked open the rickety, dilapidated security door.

Outside the door, the landlady, a cheap cigarette dangling from her lips, crossed her burly arms and sneered in a low voice:

"Shen Feng, stop pretending to be poor! You're a huge internet celebrity now, your name is all over the trending topics! But I've heard that for you livestreamers, the platforms hold onto your payments for at least six months, right?"

"That door that the SWAT team kicked down, plus the depreciation cost of the wall plaster, it's a flat price of 38,000! If you can't come up with cash today, I'll go straight to a gossip blogger and expose you!"

Faced with blatant extortion, Shen Feng took out his phone, which he had just switched to a spare SIM card with, and smoothly opened the scan function. With a "beep," he scanned the rent collection code that the landlady had posted on the wall.

"Alipay payment received, 38,000 yuan."

The cold, mechanical female voice echoed in the cramped stairwell, sounding exceptionally crisp.

The landlady's cigarette fell to the ground with a "thud," and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

She had calculated that Shen Feng wouldn't be able to come up with the quick money, and was preparing to take the opportunity to force him to sign a high-value IOU to squeeze him dry, but she didn't expect him to transfer the money without even blinking!

"You...you're really rich?" The landlady was stunned for a moment, her greedy nature instantly overriding her reason. "Wait, since you can afford it, this is just the cost of repairing the door. My compensation for emotional distress and..."

Before the landlady could finish speaking, Shen Feng suddenly took a step closer: "Sister Wang, even when you're trying to take advantage of someone, you should choose your prey carefully."

"I've already paid you for the door and walls. But as a long-time tenant, I'd like to offer you a few friendly reminders."

"The three shops on the first floor are clearly open for business, but you have reported them as vacant to the industry and commerce and tax authorities every year. You have signed shady contracts that cannot be made public."

"You charge these poor tenants upstairs 1.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour for electricity according to commercial standards, and pocket the difference of 12,000 yuan every month."

"Furthermore, in order to earn an extra six hundred dollars, you completely blocked the fire escape on the third floor and turned it into a storage room without windows for subletting."

With each word Shen Feng spoke, the landlady's face grew paler until it was completely bloodless.

"Although none of them are major cases involving skinning and dismemberment, there are twelve million eyes watching my live stream right now."

Shen Feng lowered his head slightly, looking at her with a half-smile: "Tell me, if I accidentally use your building's money-making methods as material for a crime during my live stream... which vehicle—the tax bureau, the price bureau, or the fire brigade—would stop downstairs first?"

"Clatter."

The landlady's legs buckled, and she stumbled backward, her back slamming heavily against the wall. Cold sweat instantly soaked through her clothes.

She stared in horror at the usually quiet young man before her, her mind suddenly filled with the terrifying legends circulating online about "the patriarch killing and hiding corpses with a smile."

Good heavens! Was I out of my mind?! How dare I try to extort this monster who can manipulate even the police and mob bosses?!

"Brother Shen... I... I was out of my mind! I was just joking with you!"

The landlady frantically pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling. "I can't take a single penny of this money! I'll return it to you immediately! You can stay as long as you want after that, just don't mention me online..."

"Take it. I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong. The door was broken because of me, so I'll pay for it."

Shen Feng glanced at her coldly, "But this money isn't free. I'll give you three days to clear out the fire escape on the third floor and restore it to its original state, and you also need to honestly refund the electricity bill to the tenant at the residential rate."

"If I find out you still dare to tamper with the bottom line, the next thing to trend on social media will be your family photo."

After saying that, Shen Feng casually dusted off his hands, picked up the backpack he had just packed the night before, and walked downstairs without looking back.

Only after completely exiting the alleyways of the urban village did Shen Feng's inscrutable expression suddenly crumble. He let out a long breath and screamed wildly in his heart:

"Holy crap! Showing off and running away was so damn exciting! I'm a millionaire now, why would I still live in this crappy place eating instant noodles!"

……

Half an hour later, in the center of Jiangzhou City, at the "Yunding Yipin" luxury apartment complex, known as the pinnacle of the wealthy district.

As the most secure and private luxury residence in Jiangzhou, the monthly rent here is as high as 80,000 yuan.

For Shen Feng, who has over a million yuan in his account and is about to receive a 20 million yuan signing fee, the main thing right now is that he is "not short of money".

He paid a year's rent in full and successfully obtained the key to the 28th-floor apartment with the most expansive river view.

"bite--"

The elevator doors slowly opened on the 28th floor.

As soon as Shen Feng stepped out of the elevator, his gaze instinctively fell on the door of room 2802 across the hall.

There stood a woman wearing a khaki fitted trench coat and a baseball cap, fiddling with a smart door lock.

Almost at the very last second their eyes met, the [Master-level Counter-Reconnaissance Experience] sounded a frantic red alert in Shen Feng's mind like a radar!

Shen Feng's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Although the woman deliberately lowered the brim of her hat, he still recognized her tall and neat posture at a glance.

It was Su Qing, the captain of the criminal investigation team who had handcuffed him just a few days earlier.

His gaze moved downwards like a scanner, and Shen Feng's mind quickly processed several fatal points of incongruity:

First, the suitcase next to Su Qing's feet was a brand new 20-inch carry-on suitcase, with no scratches on the wheels, which did not meet the characteristics of a permanent resident moving house.

Secondly, there is a very new man-made scratch on the casing of the fire smoke alarm in the upper left corner, and the lens refraction angle is exactly locked onto room 2801 on his side.

Third, although Su Qing had her back to him, the muscles from her neck to her back were in a state of absolute tension, indicating that she had already observed his appearance through the reflection of the stainless steel of the elevator door!

Are you spying on me?

Shen Feng cursed inwardly: "Damn it, we've caught the real culprit, why are they still sticking to me like glue?! Don't the Jiangzhou police get paid?! They're so idle!"

Although he felt uneasy, the passive aura brought by the [God-level Criminal Psychology] made Shen Feng eager to try it out.

Since you want to play, the patriarch will play along with you.

Shen Feng slowed his pace, stopping two meters behind Su Qing, and slowly said, "Captain Su, the first principle of disguise and infiltration is to eliminate any sense of incongruity with the environment."

"When did the Jiangzhou police become so well-funded that even the head of the criminal investigation team is provided with a 'Cloud Top First-Class' staff dormitory?"

Su Qing's fingers, which were typing the password, suddenly froze.

In the task force's simulation, Shen Feng would need at least three to five days of daily contact to detect anything unusual about this flawless neighbor disguise.

But now, the two only saw each other from behind, and Shen Feng hadn't even entered his house yet, but he immediately recognized the disguise set up by the city bureau's elite team!

Knowing she had been exposed, Su Qing took a deep breath and stopped trying to hide it.

She turned around deftly, looking up to meet Shen Feng's gaze: "The security situation in Jiangzhou hasn't been very good lately, so the bureau arranged for me to take paid leave and experience the life of the wealthy. Mr. Shen, we'll be neighbors from now on."

"Then I wish Captain Su a pleasant holiday."

Shen Feng stepped halfway into his house, then turned to give her a meaningful profile: "By the way, just a heads up, the focal length of that miniature pinhole probe disguised as a smoke detector on the door frame is wrong."

"Moreover, the installation angle was off by 15 degrees, creating a blind spot where you could probably only capture the tip of my shoe in the photo."

"Next time, remember to hire a more professional field worker."

"Bang."

The heavy, high-end soundproof door slowly closed, separating the corridor into two worlds.

The corridor was deathly silent.

Su Qing stood frozen in place, feeling an indescribable chill rush from her tailbone to the back of her head, her back completely soaked in cold sweat.

In less than ten seconds, the man not only saw through his disguise, but also calculated the angle deviation of the invisible probe that Teke had just developed!

What kind of monster is he?!
