I Am Carrying Gold From the Post-Apocalyptic World-Chapter 101 – Being checked for water meter

"Yeah, and it seems pretty expensive!"

"Thanks for the tip. Do you know where he is now?"

"No idea. To find him, you should first find his two close friends, You Hongfei and Li Xingping."

"Can you give me their phone numbers?"

"I deleted them, but I can ask next door for you."

"Alright, thank you!"

Yuan Shengrui left the dorm and knocked on the door next door, asking someone for Wang Bin and his friends' phone numbers.

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.

The person laughed at him for not having the numbers of his roommates, but Yuan Shengrui explained he lost his phone. Then he told the neighbor that a beautiful police officer was investigating Wang Bin, suggesting Wang Bin might be in trouble.

Hearing this, everyone stopped their games, jumped out of bed in their shorts, and rushed to Yuan Shengrui's dorm door.

"Wow, she really is a beautiful officer!"

"Officer, what did Wang Bin do? Can you tell us?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just here to gather some information. Did you get the phone numbers?" Officer Li asked, her face darkening at the sight of the disheveled students.

"Got them, here you go!" Yuan Shengrui handed over the paper with the phone numbers to Officer Li.

With the numbers in hand, Officer Li didn't linger, thanked them, and left.

As soon as she left, the news about Wang Bin being sought by a beautiful police officer spread rapidly, and the rumors grew more outrageous. Some said Wang Bin was caught with a prostitute, others claimed he joined a gang, and some even said he committed murder and fled. The stories varied, and surprisingly, some people believed them.

Li Xingping spent the morning busy with renovations, while You Hongfei was helping Wang Bin contact a private investigator. During lunch, their phones kept buzzing with WeChat notifications, and upon checking, they were furious.

The class group chat was filled with discussions about Wang Bin, dragging them into it, claiming they were accomplices who also fled.

Angry, You Hongfei sent a message, and the group chat fell silent. Someone who hadn't seen his message continued typing and sent it out, only to retract it quickly upon realizing You Hongfei was online.

Seeing the retraction, others followed suit, and soon the chat was filled with retraction notifications.

Just as You Hongfei was about to say more, his phone rang.

Seeing an unfamiliar number, he answered without much thought.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Are you You Hongfei?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"Hello, I'm Officer Li from the city's Criminal Investigation Brigade. I'd like to ask you about Wang Bin. Can we meet to discuss?"

"Oh! Uh, sure, sure!"

"Okay, tell me a place, and I'll come over."

"Alright, how about the Banyan Tree Café on Peace Street?"

"Great, see you soon!"

Initially, You Hongfei wanted to say it was inconvenient, but he also wanted to know why the police were looking for Wang Bin, so he agreed.

On the way to the café, You Hongfei called Li Xingping to discuss the situation, so they could handle it better when the police contacted them.

Soon, You Hongfei arrived at the Banyan Tree Café, and not long after, Officer Li arrived as well. She was easy to recognize, her police uniform a clear identifier.

Seeing her enter, You Hongfei quickly stood up to greet her.

"Hello, you must be Officer Li?"

"Yes, I'm Officer Li. You must be Wang Bin's roommate, You Hongfei?"

"That's right, it's me! Please, have a seat. What would you like to drink?"

"A cappuccino, please."

At first glance, Officer Li felt that You Hongfei didn't seem like a college student but more like a seasoned corporate executive. Why? Because of his demeanor and speech!

Indeed, his demeanor and speech were unlike the group of students she had seen earlier at Wang Bin's dorm, who were shirtless, in shorts and slippers, drooling at the sight of her, typical of college students.

But this young man, though he looked young, was polite and composed, traits usually seen in those with years of social experience.

She had a feeling she wouldn't get much useful information today.

"You and Wang Bin are close, right?"

"Yes, we've been roommates for three years and have always gotten along well."

"I heard Wang Bin recently bought a house, and it's quite expensive?"

"Yes, he just bought a villa at Emerald Lake Villa Estate."

"What? Emerald Lake Villa Estate?"

"Is there a problem?"

"He's just a junior in college. How did he get so much money?"

"He won the lottery!"

"Villas at Emerald Lake aren't cheap. How much did he win?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it was a few hundred million."

"What, a few hundred million?"

Hearing You Hongfei casually mention winning a few hundred million, Officer Li was taken aback. Her first thought was, damn, this guy is really lucky. No wonder he could spend ten million on a Zheng Banqiao painting.

But she couldn't just take You Hongfei's word for it; she needed to investigate further to confirm.

"Do you know where Wang Bin is now?"

"I think he's out of town for some matter, but I don't know exactly where."

"Oh, can you give me his address?"

"Sure, it's Emerald Lake South Garden, Block B, No. 3-1."

"Alright, thank you!"

Officer Li didn't bother with the coffee, thanked him, and left the café.
