Chapter 289: Chapter 289

One could say he was a young achiever.

But with 300,000, Chu River couldn’t even buy the materials for a camera. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novｅlfire.net

—When will I have the chance to be a kept man?

Making money is really troublesome!

She opened her computer, slacked off during work, and pinpointed a few target clients.

Whether it was finding evidence of infidelity, evidence in commercial crime, or some other peculiar tasks.

She could handle it all.

She didn’t charge much, but needed to be fast. Of course, this method of making money, as long as it’s submitted, is more convenient.

In just a few days, a continuous flow of money quietly entered her account and was dispersed without leaving any trace.

The result was a sudden increase in various deliveries at the police station.

There was no choice, receiving deliveries at the rented apartment wasn’t safe.

When she finally finished a set of cameras, the sky suddenly thundered, and raindrops as big as beans fell.

Bai Mengyu got off work only to realize she didn’t bring an umbrella. Seeing that the heavy rain wouldn’t stop anytime soon, she had to spend money on a taxi—

But unfortunately, the nearest entrance to her rented apartment was in a remote back alley, and the taxi couldn’t drive in, so she had to get out, immediately soaked to the skin.

Fortunately, the distance wasn’t far; just a turn and she’d be in the neighborhood.

She suddenly stopped walking.

The rainwater, slowly flowing, gradually mixed with red marks.

And as she followed the trail forward, she saw a pair of long legs dressed in suit pants sticking out from the other side of the trash bin.

Bai Mengyu’s heart thumped nervously. She awkwardly wiped the rain off as she walked forward, only to find that the man slumped beside the trash bin was wearing a suit.

There was a streak of red at the hem of the white dress shirt, and as he seemed to notice someone near, he struggled to lift his head, revealing an incredibly handsome face that left her speechless.

Except for the policeman she liked in her youth, she had never seen a man more good-looking than the one before her!

However, that detective had always been cold and annoyed.

But the man before her, with just one glance, exhibited a domineering and unruly style.

His demeanor was extraordinary.

His semi-long hair was damp, clinging to his cheeks and neck, and he quickly slipped back into a semi-conscious state.

Seeing the bloodstains beneath his shirt still spreading, Bai Mengyu bit her lip, slowly moving closer to him.

In the heavy rain, her voice wasn’t very audible, and the semi-conscious man vaguely heard the word "hospital," before painfully muttering "No," and then instantly lost consciousness.

Bai Mengyu looked at him with difficulty.

Not willing to go to the hospital, yet so seriously injured, in the pouring rain...

She couldn’t just watch him lie there and wait to die alone.

So, she bit her lip and struggled to lift his arm—

With her frail body, this action was immensely difficult, exerting the greatest strength she had ever used in her life.

Possibly touching a wound during the process, he groaned subconsciously after taking a couple of steps, allowing Bai Mengyu to steady herself.

In the pouring rain, the two stumbled and staggered, slowly making their way to the edge of the residential building.

From start to finish, she never thought of calling an ambulance or the police.

This was probably the beginning of love.

Finding rare leisure in the downpour, Fang Zhou met with Chu River.

He had already started renovating his house—a newly developed neighborhood in the city, with apartments handed over for more than half a year, now getting the simple decoration done quite fast.

The renovation workers were installing doors and lights at the moment, and soon, once furniture moved in, and after a period of ventilation, it could be inhabited.

And in the secluded fire escape, Fang Zhou sighed for a rare moment.

"A great opportunity during this operation, yet it wasn’t seized, letting that person get away."

The two had known each other for a long time, and Chu River could always find out more secrets. With a trust level far exceeded normal, Fang Zhou occasionally disclosed some information knowing her ability.

She knew of this operation.

In the original storyline, this operation didn’t exist, and the main characters were supposed to meet later, with an overwhelming romance ensuing.

However, coincidentally, the group of middle-aged men she caught last time for drug trafficking were peripheral members of this organization.

Drunkenly arrogant, they couldn’t stay calm even when arrested.

As a result, the police were able to extract much more information.
