Do You Think... I Look Like Someone Who Lacks Money

It's a pity that this book of mathematics and logic is just a fragment.

But it sounds incredibly impressive, and even as a fragment, its value must be quite high.

So... Jiang Che made his move!

Staring at Shen Yu in front of him, Jiang Che slowly approached, looking down at the girl with calm eyes.

His large hand directly wrapped around the girl's waist.

However, to Jiang Che's surprise, Shen Yu didn't resist at all?

Her eyes remained as calm as ever, as if it wasn't her being kissed.

[Is this what a kiss feels like? It doesn't seem like much. I really don't understand why Jiang Che is so obsessed with women!]

[It doesn't excite me as much as solving a math problem.]

Jiang Che was a bit dumbfounded. Is Shen Yu really this emotionally detached?

Of course, Jiang Che didn't lose out either. After all, he had already taken advantage, and his system wasn't some genuine romance system. All that "affection points" stuff was just something he made up to trick Shen Yu.

[Ding! Host has completed the villainous choice. Reward obtained: 'Book of Mathematics and Logic (Fragment)'.]

"How boring~"

Shen Yu took two steps back, then turned and walked into her house.

"Little Yu'er, don't forget what I said! This deal... you're not losing out."

After saying this, Jiang Che swaggered away.

After Jiang Che had gone far enough, Shen Yu stopped at the door, her gaze gradually deepening. She touched her slightly swollen lips, lost in thought.

But then she shook her head, "What a boring man."

......

When passing by the police station, Jiang Che stopped by to visit Wang Yanran. After all, it had been quite a while since he last saw this little police flower. They were, after all, engaged and had met each other's parents. It was only right to nurture their relationship from time to time.

He even brought along three dishes and a soup he had prepared for Wang Yanran.

There are only two ways to win a woman's heart!

The second way... is through her stomach. With Jiang Che's god-tier cooking skills, it was absolutely effortless, right?

"Hmph~ You brat, you finally thought of me."

Wang Yanran, who was initially in a bad mood, instantly felt better upon seeing Jiang Che.

Although she kept complaining about Jiang Che's flirtatious nature, the corners of her mouth never stopped curling upward.

"Yanran, these are all your favorite dishes. How about it? Am I, your sworn brother, thoughtful enough?"

Wang Yanran rolled her eyes at Jiang Che. Of course, she understood the underlying meaning of his words.

Although she had never been in a relationship, she had seen enough online memes to get the gist.

"Someone like you, a total player, I'll need to evaluate you a bit more~"

Jiang Che simply chuckled. He wasn't in a hurry. He found a desk to sit at, propping his chin up with one hand as Wang Yanran devoured the food from the lunchbox, completely devoid of any ladylike demeanor.

The rich aroma of the food wafted throughout the police station. It was lunchtime, after all... Many officers hadn't even had time to eat yet.

Clearly, Wang Yanran wasn't about to share the food Jiang Che had made for her with her colleagues.

"Oh, by the way, what about that Chu Tao guy? I heard he got locked up again?"

Wang Yanran looked up, "Oh, Chu Tao? He turned himself in. Considering he surrendered and behaved well, he's only being charged with escape. If no one bails him out, he'll just get six months."

"That guy is pretty impressive, though. He actually managed to walk right out of our police station? He's the first one to do that!"

Jiang Che spoke slowly, "Can I go see him?"

Wang Yanran gave Jiang Che a thoughtful look, then turned to a petite female officer with a bun, "Little Qian, take him to see Chu Tao."

......

Soon, Jiang Che saw Chu Tao in the detention center.

Chu Tao looked rather disheveled, sitting on a small stool, lost in thought.

When he noticed someone approaching, Chu Tao slowly raised his head.

Upon seeing Jiang Che, his brows furrowed. In an instant, he remembered who this person was!

Wasn't he the young master of Yuanche Group?

He was the one who held a company meeting and kicked him out of Yuanche Group!

But why would he be here?

In that moment, it seemed he understood something. From beginning to end... he had only ever offended this one person, right?

Doesn't that mean... this guy in front of him is the so-called "Chosen One" who's been hiding in the shadows?

[System! System! Is he the Chosen One who's supposed to deal with me?]

Chu Tao's system remained silent for a moment.

[Host, we've only crossed paths with him a few times before. I didn't pay much attention back then, but just now I scanned him. You'd better not provoke him. We can't afford to mess with him.]

Chu Tao: "......"

[Weren't you all high and mighty before? Acting like you didn't care about national fortunes? Why are you so scared now?]

[......]

Looking at his cowardly system, Chu Tao realized... his trashy system was probably at the bottom of the hierarchy in the system world.

Before, it had boasted about being super powerful, but now it had turned into a complete coward, screwing him over big time!

"Thud—"

Without a second thought, Chu Tao knelt down in front of Jiang Che.

Straightforward, without any hesitation.

"Bro... bro, please let me go. We're birds of a feather... no, no, we're on the same side."

"Mr. Jiang, I have a lot of value to offer. I can definitely create enough value for you."

Jiang Che found it amusing as he looked at Chu Tao, who was kneeling and begging for mercy.

As the saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances." Chu Tao clearly knew how to adapt.

"I don't understand what you're saying. Who's on the same side as you?"

Chu Tao was stunned. Could it be that he wasn't the Chosen One?

But the system couldn't be wrong. The system said Jiang Che was terrifying. At the same time, his gaze flicked to the surveillance camera in the detention center, and he instantly showed an "I get it" smile.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't need to pretend. Bail me out... I'll serve you loyally from now on. I'll split the money I earn with you 99 to 1. You take 99, I'll take 1."

Chu Tao's words almost made Jiang Che burst out laughing. Are you really this spineless, bro?

Jiang Che used his inner energy to send a voice transmission directly to Chu Tao.

"Are you sure? But I'm a villain, you know? I specialize in taking out little brothers like you."

Chu Tao was terrified. This is too scary!

He's even talking about killing people? Chu Tao, a law-abiding young man, had never heard such threats before.

He was almost scared to the point of wetting himself.

"Mr. Jiang, some things are better left unsaid here. If you bail me out... I'll make you a lot of money in the future."

It was clear that Chu Tao's will to survive was incredibly strong.

"Heh..."

Jiang Che chuckled softly, then slowly crouched down, separated by the iron bars of the detention cell.

"Do you think... I look like someone who's short on money?"
