Chapter 8

It turned out that the little girl had indeed handed a USB drive to Huang Mao just now. The USB drive contained two game account names and passwords, both of which were for popular online games.

So, they were account thieves!

Zhao Yu secretly rejoiced, grateful that he hadn't impulsively tried to catch them red-handed. A respected detective from the major crimes unit, if he only caught two account thieves, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

However, Zhao Yu was also quite moved. He hadn't expected that two game accounts could be worth so much money. According to the little girl, the envelope contained a full ten thousand yuan, which was equivalent to several months of his salary.

"Uncle, it's really my first time, I don't want the stolen money!" The little girl still sobbed and sniffled, "Please let me go! I really won't do it again!"

"Go away..." Zhao Yu shouted irritably, "You two didn't say a word during the transaction, you're so experienced, and you still dare to say it's your first time?"

"I..." The little girl was speechless.

"I ask you, why do you need to exchange cash for stolen accounts? Can't you just transfer the money online?" Zhao Yu was curious.

"Police Uncle..." The little girl answered honestly, "I don't have an ID card yet! I can't open a bank account! And online transactions leave evidence!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yu was surprised, "You don't look like a beginner. I ask you, what do you use the money from the stolen accounts for? Buying game equipment?"

"No! No!" The little girl might have seen an opportunity and stopped crying, explaining honestly, "The money is for my mother's medical treatment. She has uremia!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Yu snorted, naturally not believing such a childish lie.

"Really!" The little girl said solemnly, "One dialysis session costs several thousand yuan, and the money from my father selling fruit is not enough! He's so worried that he's even thinking about renting out the upstairs!"

"Wait!" Suddenly, Zhao Yu was stunned. He carefully examined the little girl's face, feeling a sense of familiarity. He quickly asked, "Tell me the truth, what's your name? What's your father's name? If you lie again, I'll take you to the police station right now!"

"I'm really not lying, my name is Jiang Xiaoqing," the little girl answered, "My father is Jiang Dafeng, the Dafeng Fruit Shop on Shunfeng Road is our family's..."

Oh my...

Ah Xi Ba!

Oh yes!

Zhao Yu's mind was instantly filled with these exclamations. The second incredible coincidence in his life had just happened. He had just had a heated argument with the owner of the Dafeng Fruit Shop, and now he had caught the owner's daughter in the act of a crime. The coincidence was unparalleled!

This time, Zhao Yu no longer doubted the power of the strange system. This was definitely the work of this magical system.

"Police Uncle, Uncle?" The little girl saw Zhao Yu in a daze and didn't dare to run away. She stood obediently in front of him and asked timidly, "Can you let me go? The money... oh... the stolen money... I don't want it!"

"Oh!" Zhao Yu finally came to his senses. He looked at the envelope in his hand and had an idea. He quickly handed the envelope to Jiang Xiaoqing, "What do you mean you don't want it? Take it! Since we're family, it's easier to handle!"

"Oh... you..." This time, it was the little girl's turn to be surprised, "Do you know my father?"

"Um... yes!" Zhao Yu's eyes twinkled, "I just rented your house! I also learned about your family's situation. Since it's for your mother's treatment, I'll let this go! In the future, just continue what you're doing!"

"Really, or are you joking?" The little girl was stunned, feeling her worldview was in chaos, "You... you're not joking with me, right?"

"Does Uncle look like he's joking?" Zhao Yu smiled broadly, looking like a typical bad uncle, "Hehehe... to be honest, Uncle knows this area well. If anything happens in the future, Uncle can protect you! But... this..." He pointed to the envelope in the girl's hand, "Do you understand?"

"Oh!" The little girl was extremely smart, "I get it, you want protection money!"

"Ah?" Zhao Yu quickly covered her mouth, "What protection money? That sounds bad. This project is a joint venture between us. You're the technical expert, and I'm the business person. We both participated, so we should share the profits, right?"

"Uncle... it seems..." The little girl asked timidly, "I also contacted the clients, right?"

"This..." Zhao Yu's forehead was covered with black lines.

"It's okay, I'm the disadvantaged one anyway!" Jiang Xiaoqing said frankly, "You not arresting me is already a big favor! So... how much do you want?"

"The rule in the underworld is three for you and seven for me," Zhao Yu said smoothly, "But since I'm familiar with your father, I'll give you one more share, four for you and six for me, how about that?"

"Ah? That won't do!" The little girl said dejectedly, "My mother really needs the money, this isn't enough!"

"Um!" Zhao Yu's face turned serious, "Then fifty-fifty, that's my bottom line! If necessary, you can do it one more time each month! It's time to wake up those young masters who are obsessed with games! They spend all their parents' money on games and equipment, they should lose their accounts and reflect on their actions!"

Clearly, Zhao Yu was inciting the little girl to continue her immoral deeds, yet he spoke with a sense of righteousness, almost reaching the level of a shameless master.

Jiang Xiaoqing, a naive child, couldn't match Zhao Yu's cunning and had to compromise.

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Yu took the 5000 yuan "reward" that Jiang Xiaoqing gave him and returned to the Dafeng Fruit Shop, intending to use the money to rent the house.

However, after he left, someone else came to look at the house. Two young men had also set their sights on it. When Zhao Yu arrived, they were paying the deposit, and the plump Jiang Dafeng was happily counting the money.

"Stop!"

Zhao Yu suddenly roared, startling everyone.

"What... what's going on?" Jiang Dafeng looked up and saw Zhao Yu.

Before he could react, Zhao Yu started yelling, "Damn it, you fatso, didn't we agree that I would rent this house? I brought the money back, and you're renting it to someone else? Do you want to die, huh!?"

Zhao Yu's fierce expression scared the two young men into silence.

"No... no..." Jiang Dafeng was also confused, "You didn't... didn't..."

"Don't you dare... (omitting forty-eight dirty words)..." While cursing, Zhao Yu picked up a sugarcane stick, "Do you believe I'll smash your stall?" Then he pointed the stick at the two young men, "Listen up, if anyone wants to rent this house, think twice. I'll find a way to make your life miserable every day, and you won't even know when you get hit!"

"You..." Jiang Dafeng was dumbfounded and shouted, "If you keep this up, I'll call the police!"

Swish...

Zhao Yu pulled out his police ID and shouted, "You're calling the police? I'll check your shop first. Someone reported that you're selling expired fruit..."

Before Zhao Yu finished, the two young men had already run off with their money. Jiang Dafeng raised his hands in surrender, bowing repeatedly, "Alright, alright! Sir... I give up! I give up, I'll rent it to you, okay?" He sighed helplessly, "Oh, a shameless person is really invincible!"
