"Thanks, Uncle Chang, hehe..."

Shen Qingzhou reached out and snatched the boarding pass from Chang Shengli's reluctant hand.

This is another advantage of having Chang Shengli with him. He was penniless and didn't even have money for a train ticket, so he needed to carry a money bag.

At this moment, Chang Shengli also realized what was happening and said angrily, "Are you kidding me? There's no five million at all."

"No, it really is five million. It's probably... probably because of this large sum of money that Accountant Jiang became greedy," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Let's go through security first." Chang Shengli pulled Shen Qingzhou toward the security checkpoint.

After passing through security, Chang Shengli didn't even have time to find the boarding gate. He pulled Shen Qingzhou to sit down beside him and said with a serious face, "Now tell me, how did you get such a large sum of money? If you don't explain it clearly today, you're not going anywhere."

Shen Qingzhou didn't care, after all, the source of each of his money was clear.

So Shen Qingzhou began to tell him about the few business deals she had recently taken on.

Chang Shengli knew about Shen Qingzhou's special abilities, and it was precisely because of these special abilities that Chang Shengli had been able to rise rapidly in rank and make numerous contributions over the years.

It was precisely because they knew Shen Qingzhou's abilities that they entrusted him with investigating some high-reward cases.

Therefore, he was not surprised by the seemingly bizarre things Shen Qingzhou told him; on the contrary, it completely dispelled his doubts about the origin of the money.

However, Shen Qingzhou did not tell the whole truth; he omitted some details.

"Jiang Cuiping absconded with the money, probably because she was tempted by greed, and that three million was the last straw that broke her back..." Chang Shengli said with emotion.

Shen Qingzhou nodded, agreeing with Chang Shengli's statement. However, it was more likely that the orphanage's account had never been so wealthy, making it unworthy of her absconding with the money.

The two fell silent for a moment, and after a long while, Shen Qingzhou suddenly spoke up: "Do you think she really wanted to run away?"

As a veteran criminal investigator, Chang Shengli understood Shen Qingzhou's meaning perfectly well.

Anyone with a modicum of sense would know that the safest course of action after taking such a large sum of money is to flee abroad, or at the very least, to places like Hong Kong or Macau.

Or change your identity instead of swaggering around with your original ID card to take public transportation or check into a hotel. Isn't that just blatantly telling others where you are?

"You need to be mentally prepared," Chang Shengli said.

Shen Qingzhou naturally understood his meaning. Her actions clearly showed that she didn't want to run away. If she wasn't going to run away, what was the point of taking the money?

So there's a very high chance this money is gone.

She's probably waiting for them in Zhucheng.

Shen Qingzhou fell silent again upon hearing this.

The flight from Huinan City to Zhucheng took only two and a half hours. Shen Qingzhou boarded the plane, closed his eyes, and opened them again, and he was already in Zhucheng.

"You're really thick-skinned. That's five million, how can you sleep through it?" Chang Shengli couldn't help but complain.

Although the five million had nothing to do with him, he was so worried about it that he couldn't sleep the whole way.

"It's over five million, more than five million," Shen Qingzhou corrected him.

"Besides, money can be earned back," Shen Qingzhou said with a smile.

But when Chang Shengli looked at his smile, he felt a chill run down his spine; the other man's face was full of evil.

"You brat, how many times have I told you not to smile like that at other people? It'll scare them."

Chang Shengli cursed and swung his hand to slap Shen Qingzhou, but he raised it high and brought it down lightly, hitting Shen Qingzhou's shoulder.

"I understand, Uncle Chang. Since you've come all this way to Zhucheng, why don't you do some shopping and bring back some gifts for Auntie and little sister Kexin?"

When Chang Shengli first heard Shen Qingzhou ask him to buy a gift for his wife, he didn't think much of it. But when Shen Qingzhou mentioned his daughter, he immediately became wary.

He immediately issued a stern warning: "You better stay away from Kexin, or I might shoot you in the back one day."

"Wow, are you serious? Besides, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Shen Qingzhou said, speechless.

"You, when you were in high school, you got involved with the English teacher from the next class. In the end, her husband made a scene at the school and even dragged me over there. You lost all face. If you hadn't been a good student, you would have been expelled."

Chang Shengli still feels embarrassed when he talks about it now; it's just too shameful.

"No, Teacher Tian isn't married yet, so where would she get a husband? If she really had a husband, I would never touch her. I have principles too," Shen Qingzhou said shamelessly.

Chang Shengli was so angry he laughed. "We're getting married soon, and both families have sat down to discuss the wedding date."

"That's because she wasn't married yet, and Teacher Tian was still a free person. What's wrong with her pursuing happiness?"

"Did you make her happy?"

"Yes, although it was very short," Shen Qingzhou said with a melancholy expression.

"When?" Chang Shengli asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, although it was very short," Shen Qingzhou said with a melancholy expression.

"When?" Chang Shengli asked, somewhat surprised.

"Afterwards, when she was lying in my arms, she said she was so happy," Shen Qingzhou said.

Chang Shengli remained silent.

Chang Shengli slapped Shen Qingzhou across the head.

Shen Qingzhou dodged with a quick movement, "I missed."

"You...you..." Chang Shengli didn't know what to say to him.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally said, "Luckily I'm not your father, otherwise I would have been driven to my death by you brat sooner or later."

"Okay, okay, there's no need to get so angry. I was just in my prime then."
