"I didn't bring bodyguards either, just in case anything happens..."

"The person you're looking for has already retired. Even the hospital director doesn't know where he settled after retirement. It seems there's no chance now. Let's go back."

Seeing that Shen Bingyan was colder than usual, the bodyguard didn't dare to ask any more questions, but carefully reported that the person's whereabouts were currently unknown.

Shen Bingyan had long anticipated that the events of that year wouldn't be so easy to investigate, and she didn't have much hope for it.

It's just a pity that Zhou Yi gave his sincere heart to someone who didn't deserve it.

Meanwhile, in the Zhou family study.

Zhou Yi sat up abruptly.

The system, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to have malfunctioned. It hadn't made a sound since he chose the strategy, but now it was constantly beeping.

[Warning! Warning! Shen Bingyan's favorability rating -10 due to her anger at his lack of ambition]

[Congratulations! Congratulations! Shen Bingyan's compassion and sympathy have increased by 10.]

【warn......】

-10

+10

Zhou Yi listened with suspicion as the system broadcast the fluctuating values, which kept increasing and decreasing, making his heart pound.

He was completely bewildered and confused, having no idea what had happened.

Why is Shen Bingyan's emotion beating so violently?

Each warning felt like a countdown hanging over his head, making his scalp tingle.

Finally, the system's broadcast ended.

And his heart, which had been pounding, finally settled down.

[Warning! Shen Bingyan's favorability towards the host is -10!]

Upon hearing the final result of a negative ten in favorability, Zhou Yi wiped his face and said, "........"

What exactly happened?

How did he inexplicably cause Shen Bingyan's affection for him to drop to negative ten?

During this time, he searched all over Luzhou City, but he didn't even know what Shen Bingyan looked like. Why did Shen Bingyan, who was so far away, suddenly lose her affection for him?

Zhou Yi felt utterly wronged. He had no idea about Shen Bingyan's emotional fluctuations; it was like being left at home when negative numbers suddenly appeared.

He was anxious to find Shen Bingyan and figure out this inexplicable negative number, but where was Shen Bingyan?

The following day at noon.

Su's father, carrying the 300,000 yuan he had robbed from Su Qingjiao, staggered out of the foot massage parlor.

"The foot massage parlors in Lucheng have so many different kinds of services, and the women are young, beautiful, and radiant. Tsk tsk tsk, those black stockings, those bodycon skirts, they're gorgeous."

“She looks much better than the married women in our county.”

Last night, after spending the night at the club, a row of girls bowed and saw him off as he came out. This gave Mr. Su the wonderful feeling of being surrounded by young girls, and he wished he could go back for a foot massage after finishing his meal outside.

I randomly picked a restaurant nearby and went in to eat. Looking down, I realized I hadn't changed my clothes for two days. Luzhou is a big city, much more fashionable than my hometown, a small county town.

After dinner, Su's father went to the department store and spent lavishly. He used to be reluctant to buy clothes that cost several hundred yuan a set.

Now that he has 300,000 yuan in his hands, he dares to buy clothes that cost several thousand yuan each.

Before I knew it, I had spent tens of thousands of yuan. I came out carrying big bags of clothes, shoes and socks, and changed myself from head to toe. I threw all the clothes I brought from my hometown into the trash can.

After spending several days lingering at the club.

While getting a massage at the club, Mr. Su suddenly remembered his important task: to buy a car for his mistress.

When the female manager of the club heard that he wanted to buy a car, her red lips were as sweet as honey: "What kind of car does the boss want to buy? A successful person like you must have very good taste in cars."

"My boyfriend worked hard to earn money and bought a beat-up Volkswagen, while my junior high school classmates were all driving BMW X5s. I was so embarrassed at the class reunion."

"Actually, the latest BMW and Mercedes models are quite good-looking, and Land Rover is also very imposing."

Mr. Su looked embarrassed; he had originally intended to just buy any Volkswagen.

After being told that by the female manager, I suddenly felt that buying a Volkswagen was indeed a bit embarrassing.

The female manager kept praising the boss, saying he was generous and wealthy, and that he must have excellent taste, putting him on a pedestal from which he couldn't come down.

Mr. Su blushed and his eyes darted around as he listened to the female manager's praise, saying:

"Of course! Volkswagen cars are too cheap. Why would I drive one of those?"

"Choosing a car is different from other things. The more expensive the car, the better its performance, and you won't feel back pain even after driving it for a long time."

Mr. Su spoke eloquently about the car's power, comfort, and brand reputation, as if buying a luxury car was a trivial matter, and he didn't care about the price at all.

Under the envious and covetous gaze of the female manager, Mr. Su walked out of the club with satisfaction.

I hailed a taxi on the roadside and gave them the hotel address after getting in.

The smile on his face vanished the next second.

Tsk, the women in the club are all so eloquent, they flattered him so much that he was on cloud nine. It wasn't until he was sitting in a taxi and the wind outside brought him back to his senses.

He has less than 200,000 yuan left. He can afford a Volkswagen, but if he wants to buy a high-end BMW or Audi, he's far from having enough money.

After being told that by the club's female manager, Mr. Su now looks down on the cheap Volkswagen, feeling that it's not classy enough.

Mr. Su took out his newly bought iPhone and called Mrs. Su.

The intimidation Su's father exerted on Su's mother was not something that could be dispelled by time alone. Su's mother, filled with fear, answered the phone, about to explain why she hadn't answered the phone that day.

Su's father interrupted her directly: "No matter what method you use, you have to raise 500,000 yuan for me in the next few days and send it over."
