After finishing breakfast, Ye Chen drove the girl to the store. After all, the shop still needed to be opened, and the whole familyРІР‚в„ўs livelihood depended on her.
Ye Chen helped the girl tidy up the store, then said to her, "Xiaoying, someone will come to fix your glass later. Here is my contact information. You can reach out to me anytime if you need anything."
As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper with his phone number to the girl.
Fan Ying took the paper, tears of excitement welled up in her eyes. She couldnРІР‚в„ўt recall how many times Ye Chen had helped her.
She only remembered that every time she was in danger, Ye Chen would be by her side.
"Alright, Brother Ye Chen, donРІР‚в„ўt worry. Go to work now," Fan Ying said with a smile.
Yesterday, due to Fan YingРІР‚в„ўs matter, the deliveries in this area had not been completed yet. Ye Chen turned and left, taking the parcels to deliver through the streets.
Looking at the addresses on the parcels, Ye Chen unknowingly walked into the old city district.
This area was a reward given to Ye Chen by the system, but he hadnРІР‚в„ўt expected that in such a rundown place, people were still living here.
Just as Ye Chen stepped into the old city, a familiar voice came from behind, "Ye Chen, what are you doing here?"
He turned around and saw it was Zhou Susu.
This girl was dressed in casual clothes, with a few plainclothes police officers standing behind her, weapons holstered at their waists.
"Susu, what are you doing here?" Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt answer but asked in return.
An observant person could tell from Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs attire why he was here; was there even a need to ask?
"WeРІР‚в„ўre here to catch a criminal," Zhou Susu answered.
"Captain, this is a secret operation. How can you tell outsiders?" one of the police officers said discontentedly.
Zhou Susu ignored his words and smiled as she said, "Let me introduce you all. This is Mr. Ye Chen, a major contributor who has helped our police solve several cases."
They had always heard the captain mention him in advance, but seeing Ye Chen in person, dressed the way he was, left everyone a bit skeptical. Some even showed a hint of disdain in their eyes.
Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt bother with everyone and said to Zhou Susu, "Why arenРІР‚в„ўt you catching the criminal and just standing here?"
Zhou Susu had a troubled expression on her face, "Brother, catching someone requires evidence."
"Then go find the evidence," Ye Chen said.
The other police officers showed a look of contempt at Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words. Clearly, he didnРІР‚в„ўt get it.
"The evidence is in his room, but we canРІР‚в„ўt get in at all. That guy is very cunning and has sharp eyes," one of the police officers said.
At this point, Zhou Susu, looking at Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs attire, asked, "Are you delivering packages?"
Ye Chen nodded, thinking that wearing delivery attire obviously meant he was delivering parcels, not food.
Zhou Susu glanced at the parcel in Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs hand and suddenly her eyes lit up because it was addressed to that guy.
"Ye Chen, thatРІР‚в„ўs great. ThatРІР‚в„ўs his package. When you deliver it, be careful and try to lure him out," Zhou Susu instructed.
"Okay."
After saying this, Ye Chen headed towards the rental room and knocked on the door a few times. No one responded.
Ye Chen knocked harder, "bang bang bang" a few more times, and a manРІР‚в„ўs voice came from inside, "Who is it? Be careful not to break my door knocking like that."
Hearing the voice from inside, Ye Chen said, "IРІР‚в„ўm the delivery guy. ThereРІР‚в„ўs a package for you; please sign for it."
But no one answered from inside. Ye Chen waited for a long time without any response, so he had no choice but to leave the package at the door.
When Ye Chen returned, Zhou Susu knew the plan had failed.
She looked frustrated, "This guy is incredibly cunning and didnРІР‚в„ўt fall for it at all."
"Susu, I heard that guy say earlier, there is evidence in the room, right? If you get into the room, wonРІР‚в„ўt you find it?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"But getting into the room is easier said than done," Zhou Susu said, looking dejected.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I have a way."
"What could a delivery guy possibly come up with?" a male police officer questioned.
"All the houses in this old city district belong to me. As the homeowner, I should have no problem entering my own property," Ye Chen said casually.
"This whole area is yours? Are you kidding? How much do you make a month delivering packages? How can you own so much real estate?" The policeman from before looked at Ye Chen like heРІР‚в„ўd heard a ludicrous joke.
Zhou Susu was also taken aback and didnРІР‚в„ўt believe Ye Chen, but she didnРІР‚в„ўt mock him like the policeman did.
"Wait here for a moment," Ye Chen said as he noticed Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs surprised expression.
As Ye Chen walked away, the male police officer quickly said, "Captain, this delivery guy isnРІР‚в„ўt reliable at all. I bet heРІР‚в„ўll run away once heРІР‚в„ўs exposed. We should figure something else out."
Zhou Susu said, "LetРІР‚в„ўs wait a bit longer. We shouldnРІР‚в„ўt act hastily and alert the target unnecessarily."
She didnРІР‚в„ўt believe Ye Chen owned so much property, but she did believe he wasnРІР‚в„ўt the type to run away during a critical moment.
After a while, Ye Chen returned with a large stack of documents.
"What is that?" Zhou Susu asked, puzzled, looking at the things in Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs hands.
"Property titles."
Upon hearing his answer, everyone was shocked. It seemed like this delivery guy was telling the truth.
But no matter how they thought about it, it didnРІР‚в„ўt seem possible.
"How do you have so much real estate?" Zhou Susu asked, looking at Ye Chen with suspicion.
"DonРІР‚в„ўt worry, itРІР‚в„ўs all legal," Ye Chen reassured Zhou Susu, dispelling her doubts.
Then he continued, "Do you need my help or not? If not, IРІР‚в„ўll just go deliver parcels." With that, Ye Chen started to turn away.
Zhou Susu hurriedly stopped him, "Of course, we need your help. This is great news."
She knew that only by entering the room legitimately would they avoid significant disruptions.
"Alright, then be my assistant," Ye Chen said to Zhou Susu.
"No problem."
Zhou Susu held the stack of property titles and followed behind Ye Chen.
"Knock knock," Ye Chen rapped on the door, and the manРІР‚в„ўs voice inside sounded again, "Who is it? Go away! Stop bothering me."
"This area is up for development, and weРІР‚в„ўre here to conduct a survey," Ye Chen said.
"I donРІР‚в„ўt care. Get lost," the man said impatiently.
"Sir, weРІР‚в„ўre planning advance demolition and wish to compensate everyone. Today is the registration and compensation day, with fifty thousand yuan per household," Ye Chen explained calmly.
Hearing that money would be given, the man was immediately tempted. He was worried about not having money to escape, and now it seemed like it was handed right to him.
