Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

In fact, Shen Qingzhou had a very good impression of Jiang Cuiping. She was a very gentle and elegant woman who spoke softly and gently, and always had a smile on her face.

She still remembers that every time she came to the orphanage, she would bring the children lots of snacks and books. When she was little, she was the embodiment of the image of her mother in Shen Qingzhou's mind.

So even after he took over the orphanage, he still let her handle all the orphanage's accounts and financial transactions, not entirely because of Grandma Song's trust in her.

So even though Shen Qingzhou had some doubts, he still didn't quite believe that Jiang Cuiping would do such a thing.

So after leaving the orphanage, Shen Qingzhou decided to go to Accountant Jiang's house to check on the situation.

"Boss, are you unhappy?"

Xiao Qiu rode Wu Ying and circled around Shen Qingzhou.

"You could tell I'm unhappy?" Shen Qingzhou said, exhaling a smoke ring.

"I'm not blind," Xiao Qiu said.

"Woof woof~"

Wuying barked at him twice, indicating that even he, the dog, could tell he was unhappy.

Shen Qingzhou was indeed in a bad mood, otherwise he wouldn't be squatting by the roadside smoking in the middle of the day.

He really wanted to talk to someone, but suddenly realized that he had very few friends.

Song Tianqing and Shen Wenjie were probably still struggling to make a living at this time, and he felt embarrassed to bother them.

Now he only has two people to choose from: Huang Yanbin and Zhang Jiakang.

Huang Yanbin was his high school classmate. His family took advantage of the Yangtze River waterway to start a shipping business, which became quite large.

Despite being a second-generation rich kid, he was quite humble and low-key. After learning that Shen Qingzhou was an orphan in high school, he often treated him to meals and gave him gifts. So even though he later chose to study abroad, the two maintained contact.

As for Zhang Jiakang, although they were classmates in university, they were not in the same major. However, since they were from the same place, they kept in touch and their relationship naturally became good over time.

After graduating from university, both of them chose to return to Huinan City.

Shen Qingzhou chose to open a law firm, while Zhang Jiakang chose to do cross-border e-commerce, which also went very well and earned him a lot of money. However, he was very busy every day, worked very hard, and often had his days and nights reversed.

So in the end, Shen Qingzhou chose Huang Yanbin. This guy was rich and had plenty of free time, so she contacted him directly and gave him a chance to treat her to a meal.

Huang Yanbin didn't hesitate at all and replied with an "OJBK" emoji.

He then followed up with, "I'll send you the address later."

Clearly, he chose the location for the evening's gathering.

Shen Qingzhou stubbed out the cigarette butt with his toe, and without further hesitation, headed straight for Accountant Jiang's house.

Xiao Qiu and Wu Ying hurriedly followed behind.

Shen Qingzhou had visited Accountant Jiang's house, but that was a long time ago.

He was still in high school at the time and had eaten at her house a few times.

Jiang Cuiping and her husband both worked at a cardboard factory. Jiang Cuiping was the company's accountant, and her husband was the factory's technician.

She was initially the one who managed the orphanage's accounts.

At that time, Grandma Song was still in good health, and she still handled most of the accounting for the welfare home herself.

When the wave of layoffs hit in the 1990s, the couple both lost their jobs.

At that time, employment was difficult, so Grandma Song formally hired Jiang Cuiping and entrusted her with all the accounts and finances of the welfare home.

Over the years, she has been steady and meticulous in her work, earning the deep trust of Grandma Song.

After Jiang Cuiping's husband was laid off, he started an electronic parts business.

Shen Qingzhou was unsure of the specifics of his business, but judging from the living conditions he observed during his several visits, the family's financial situation was not bad.

The couple had only one son, who was about ten years older than Shen Qingzhou.

Shen Qingzhou had only met him once and was not familiar with him.

However, the aunt at the welfare home mentioned that her son was very capable and made a lot of money doing business outside, but he had never gotten married, which gave Accountant Jiang a lot of headaches.

The residential area where Accountant Jiang lives was considered a high-end community in Huinan City in the early 2000s. However, after more than 20 years of weathering, the wrought iron gate is covered with rust, the marble pillars have lost their luster, and the security booth is completely abandoned and unattended.

However, the landscaping and sanitation in the community were surprisingly good.

Following her memory, Shen Qingzhou went straight to Accountant Jiang's door and knocked. No one answered. She knocked again, but still no one answered.

Shen Qingzhou looked at the shoe rack next to him. There were several pairs of shoes on the rack, but it was obvious at a glance that they were not often worn, and they were placed in an unusually high position.

Shen Qingzhou took out his phone and called Accountant Jiang. The call went through, but there was no sound coming from inside the room.

"Xiao Qiu, Wu Ying, go in and see if anyone is inside," Shen Qingzhou said, bowing to the person and the dog.

Before confirming that Accountant Jiang had indeed absconded with the funds, he would not use unconventional methods and would show the other party sufficient respect.

Wu Ying and Xiao Qiu quickly ran out of the house.

One said there was no one inside, while the other barked.

If I ask for more details, one can't explain it, and the other can't explain it either.

Shen Qingzhou thought for a moment, then reached out and touched the Soul Nourishing Tablet on his chest, and Lin Yunong was immediately summoned.

"Xiao Qiu, Wu Ying..." She greeted the person and the dog first, then looked at Shen Qingzhou and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"

After being chiseled so many times, Lin Yunong gradually became completely devoted to Shen Qingzhou and became particularly clingy.

When a woman asks you if you miss her, it's best to say yes, because it doesn't cost money and provides her with plenty of emotional value.

So Shen Qingzhou nodded naturally, and then said, "I need your help with something."

"What is it? Tell me."

Lin Yunong showed no intention of refusing. As a ghost, being needed by someone was a very happy thing.

Of course, this is the thought of someone with a romantic mind. If Wu Suyun and Zhao Xuliang were here, they would probably shake their heads and say that he is just a workhorse and doesn't need anything.

Shen Qingzhou briefly explained what had happened, and Lin Yunong immediately went through the door and entered the house.

Xiao Qiu and Wu Ying hurriedly followed them inside, leaving Shen Qingzhou standing alone outside the door, taking out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth, but not lighting it.

Lin Yunong quickly came out of the house and gave Shen Qingzhou the answer he least wanted to hear.

"The house was empty, the stove looked like it hadn't been lit for days, most of the clothes in the closet were gone, and jewelry, savings, and other valuables were nowhere to be found..."

As Lin Yunong finished speaking, Shen Qingzhou's heart sank lower and lower.

Without further hesitation, he reached out, grasped the doorknob, and gently pushed it open, as if it had never been locked.

Stepping inside, the situation was even worse than Lin Yunong had described.

In Shen Qingzhou's memory, the house, which was originally very warm, now seemed particularly cold and desolate.

The most eye-catching thing is the broken television screen on the TV wall.

Shen Qingzhou carefully inspected the room and found that there were indeed no signs of a fire on the stove.

The cups on the table were scattered, and one of them was lying on its side.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous items piled up on the bed in the room.

The wardrobe was open, and only winter clothes remained inside; there were almost no summer clothes left.

He opened the dressing table drawer, and all the valuable jewelry was gone, leaving only a few cheap trinkets.

Perhaps due to her profession, Accountant Jiang is a very organized person and also very particular about cleanliness. If nothing had happened, her home would never be so messy.

All signs indicate that Accountant Jiang did indeed abscond with the money.

But he wasn't as angry as he thought he would be; he just felt a little sad.

"Grandma would be very sad if she found out," he thought.
