A great disaster,

vanished without a trace.

Although many waves were stirred up,

and even the origins of those two shadows haven't been investigated yet,

it was still dealt with in the end.

Everyone in the bookstore breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the atmosphere of the bookstore had changed after Lawyer An arrived, and everyone was more diligent than before, except for the biggest loafer who still sunbathed every day,

the overall atmosphere of the bookstore,

that of doing just enough to get by, hadn't fundamentally changed.

A wave came,

everyone held on,

dodged it,

and then they could continue to drift happily together on their broken wooden plank!

In contrast to the obviously relaxed atmosphere around him,

Old Zhang felt like he was "blown away in the wind" at this moment.

Zhu Shengnan,

dead?

The massacre of the family,

even the only surviving girl was dead?

How could this case be investigated further?

Moreover, the girl had been sent to the pharmacy.

"How about this, don't report the death, report her as missing first, just say the child might have some mental problems and ran away from the pharmacy."

Lawyer An suggested to Old Zhang.

In short,

this matter couldn't be linked to the bookstore.

At most, it had to stop at the pharmacy.

Old Zhang nodded. That was the only way to do it now. Any case involving supernatural events had to be treated vaguely. Old Zhang couldn't avoid covering it up even if he wanted to.

And he also knew what had happened. His boss, including everyone in the bookstore, had worked hard to protect the lives and property of the people of Tong City. He could only accept doing this bit of cleanup.

"Now the direction of the case investigation is that Zhu Shengnan's father killed people and then committed suicide. It's estimated that it will follow this line."

Old Zhang sat down and sighed.

"That's right. We'll just be behind-the-scenes heroes. We don't need any certificates or big red flowers. After all, we're all people who have transcended petty interests."

Lawyer An handed Old Zhang the "Super Overlord Cup" coffee in front of him.

Old Zhang picked it up, took a sip, almost spat it out, but swallowed it with difficulty.

The taste of this coffee,

wasn't right.

"Oh, there's something else I wanted to tell you." Old Zhang thought carefully, but still had a headache. "But now that Zhu Shengnan's matter has come up, I've forgotten it."

"Is it important?" Zhou Ze asked.

"I think it's a small matter."

"Then it's nothing big." Lawyer An stretched. "Then everyone should wash up and go to sleep."

"Well, I'll go back to the bureau first. I still have to keep an eye on the case."

"Go, go." Lawyer An sent Old Zhang out the door, then stood outside the door and waved to Zhou Ze, indicating that he was going to investigate the two shadows.

Zhou Ze nodded to him, indicating that he understood.

"Boss, bath?"

Bai Yingying looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze nodded and walked into the bathroom. Just as he took off his clothes and turned on the shower, the bathroom door was pushed open. Bai Yingying walked in with Zhou Ze's clean clothes and put them on the railing.

Then she picked up the clothes Zhou Ze had just taken off and prepared to take them out to wash.

Zhou Ze continued to shower.

Bai Yingying's entry didn't affect him at all.

Yingying used to help him shower when it wasn't convenient for him to shower himself. There was no need to be shy at this time.

"Oh, Boss, there's a hole here in your clothes."

Bai Yingying said, pointing to the shirt.

"Oh, I tore it when I was fighting."

Zhou Ze's clothes were all bought by Bai Yingying. He usually didn't worry about clothes. Anyway, his clothes would be prepared for him when the seasons changed, and he was satisfied with the sizes and styles.

Xu Qinglang was very dissatisfied with this.

As a man with more than twenty houses,

he found that he was only wearing clothes and shoes that cost a few hundred,

but that guy who ran a losing bookstore and did nothing but sunbathe all day long

was wearing clothes that cost no less than five thousand,

why!

Zhou Ze didn't know about this. He didn't know that Bai Yingying had been buying him such expensive clothes.

In his previous life, Zhou Ze hadn't worn any famous brands. He didn't know much about these luxury clothing brands either. Anyway, he just took them from Yingying and wore them.

"Mend it." Zhou Ze looked at the clothes. "It's a small hole, it's okay, right?"

"No, Yingying will buy a new one for the Boss!"

Yingying insisted.

"It's okay, you know how to sew, right?"

"This isn't a matter of sewing or not. If a man goes out wearing mended clothes, what will people think of our family?"

"Okay, okay, do as you please."

Zhou Ze didn't argue and started applying shower gel.

Bai Yingying came over and very skillfully scrubbed Zhou Ze's back. Zhou Ze turned off the shower, fearing that it would wet her clothes.

Delicate little hands kept moving back and forth on his back.

This feeling,

was very pleasant.

"Okay, I'll rinse myself."

"Then I'll go out."

After taking a shower,

the previous fatigue seemed to have been swept away.

Zhou Ze saw that the little loli was still sitting at the counter, doing her homework under the desk lamp.

"So diligent?"

The little loli nodded.

"If you work so hard, you might be able to get into a better university in this life."

The little loli, holding a pen and an eraser, glanced at Zhou Ze without much curiosity.

"Why don't we take out the schools we went to in our previous lives and compare which one is ranked higher?

If I hadn't had a good university degree to back me up when I stole state assets back then, how could I have been promoted so quickly?

If my position wasn't high, why would I bother stealing state assets?

Have you ever heard of any workers selling state-owned assets?"

"Okay, if you don't get into Tsinghua in this life, I'll break your legs."

The little loli gave Zhou Ze the middle finger.

"Oh, Boss, my school starts tomorrow. I'm going home to live for a while."

"Okay, it's time for you to let her out and let her keep Wang Ke company."

The little loli flicked her hair and said disdainfully:

"Maybe he misses me?"

Zhou Ze stood up straight and said seriously to the little loli:

"You, don't mess around."

The little loli gave Zhou Ze the middle finger again.

Going upstairs, Zhou Ze pushed open the door to the bedroom and saw Bai Yingying making the bed.

Because he was a clean freak, the sheets were changed almost every day, including the pillowcases.

Standing at the door, watching Bai Yingying making the bed,

a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Zhou Ze's mouth.

"Boss, someone recently took a fancy to another apartment. The manager at the agency said he could help us bargain, saying that the seller is afraid that the property tax will come down and the price will drop, so he's in a hurry to sell."

"It's your business, you take care of it."

Zhou Ze didn't feel comfortable saying much about this.

He had to save face.

"Well, Yingying is going to take another look. Maybe the price can drop."

"The sun is so bright, it's a little hot."

"Boss, it's night now. There can't be any sun."

"Well, you know it's impossible too."

Zhou Ze lay down on the bed.

Bai Yingying took off her coat, lay down in her pajamas, and carefully tucked Zhou Ze in, tucking in the corners of the quilt.

"Yingying, do you still have money?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Boss, do you need money?"

"No, I'm worried you don't have any money."

At Yingying's rate of buying houses,

her burial goods should have been pawned off long ago, right?

"The day before yesterday, I sold a jade bracelet to help the Boss buy a new car. How about we get a Cayenne?"

"No need, no need."

"Boss, don't be polite with Yingying. Or, let's buy a better one. It definitely has to be more expensive than Lawyer An's."

"No need, it's the same to drive their car if something comes up."

"But Yingying doesn't want to see the Boss borrowing car keys every time. It always feels like it's wronging the Boss."

"No, there's no need to buy a car. You know, I often get into accidents when I drive."

"Hmm? It's okay. If you bump it, you can get it repaired. If it really doesn't work, then buy another one."

"The problem is, I feel bad when my own car gets bumped."

"Hmm?"

"Other people's cars, I don't feel bad when they get bumped."

Yingying nodded thoughtfully and exclaimed:

"Boss, what you said makes so much sense. That's what it is. The Boss really thinks ahead. I didn't think that much."

"Also, don't sell your burial goods anymore. No matter how many houses we have, we'll only live in one. Those burial goods have been with you for two hundred years. You have to leave a few pieces as a memento, right?"

"Boss, you're so good."

Zhou Ze smiled.

"But, don't worry, Boss. I still have so many, many burial goods."

"Still have a lot? Impossible."

She borrowed money to open a bookstore for him, and she kept buying houses,

how much could she have left?

"Really, don't worry."

"Are you lying to me?"

"I wouldn't lie to you."

"I don't believe you. There are still a lot of ghost money under the counter. Next time you need to spend money, go burn some more ghost money."

"No need, no need. Yingying really has a lot left. It's inexhaustible.

The ghost money is the Boss's hard-earned money from doing business. It can ward off disasters when it needs to be burned. How could Yingying be so embarrassed to spend it?"

"Don't be so polite. We should have accumulated a lot of ghost money by now. We can be considered rich people."

"It's okay, Boss. I really have a lot left."

"Then where did you put it?" Zhou Ze asked. "There's no place to hide things at home. You probably don't have many burial goods left. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to hide them."

Hearing this,

Yingying

got off the bed

and stood by the bed looking at Zhou Ze.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Doesn't the Boss want to know how many burial goods Yingying has left?"

"Hmm?"

"Boss, get off the bed first."

Zhou Ze got off the bed. "Where are you taking me to see them?"

Yingying walked forward and pulled out the mattress directly.

Zhou Ze's eyes widened immediately.

He saw that under the original mattress,

which was the bottom of the big bed,

was actually piled full of jade ruyi, jadeite cabbage, Buddhist beads, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry.

It was completely full,

so full that it couldn't be stuffed anymore.

It almost blinded Zhou Ze,

and even made Boss Zhou feel like he was having trouble breathing.

Did Madam Bai loot the national treasury in her previous life,

leaving behind so much inheritance?

"Even when the Boss initially hugged me, your sleep quality wasn't good. You were easily awakened.

Ever since I put all the burial goods under the bed,

the Boss has been sleeping much more soundly,

Yingying is smart, right?"

"............" Zhou Ze.
