“What are you doing? Police! Hands up!” Zhou Jun shouted as he pointed at the men and reached toward his waist.
He had assumed they were just a few addicts. But the moment he yelled, the three men quickly reached for the bags beside them.
The bags were bulging. From experience, Zhou Jun instantly knew they contained weapons.
“Not good. Fall back!” Zhou Jun roared as he swiftly drew his pistol.
At the same time, the three men inside had already pulled out three homemade shotguns. Bang, bang…
Zhou Jun dropped to the ground and retreated outside.
Several colleagues rushed over with their weapons. He shouted, “Three homemade shotguns. Be careful!”
He pulled the safety and fired into the room.
A fierce gunfight broke out immediately. The homemade shotguns were not very powerful and were soon suppressed by Zhou Jun and the others.
One officer arrived holding a riot shield. Under its cover, Zhou Jun and the others stormed inside.
A large group of armed police quickly arrived at the scene. Of the three drug traffickers, one was killed, one injured, and one captured.
Only after the suspects were taken away did Zhou Jun slump to the ground, wiping cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
Later, he learned that the traffickers had originally been there for a deal but had run into the strict crackdown.
They had been hiding out in the nightclub to avoid attention, but when their addiction flared up, they started using drugs right there in the private room. That was when Zhou Jun and his team caught them red-handed.
If he had not brought his weapon today, if he had not been wearing a bulletproof vest, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Zhou Jun could not help thinking of Xiao Chen. He felt that Xiao Chen was definitely not an ordinary person.
Then he began to feel fortunate. Capturing drug traffickers on the spot and seizing 30 kilograms of drugs was at least worth a second-class merit.
The matter of becoming deputy director of the sub-bureau was basically secured.
The next day was Monday. Xiao Chen took two hours off and went to the securities company’s branch to open an account.
The process had been simplified. After submitting his documents, the approval came quickly.
Half an hour later, the procedures were complete. He immediately opened his phone, downloaded a stock trading app, selected several stocks in advance, and, according to his memory, invested all 50,000 into them.
He kept the 3,000 awarded by the Principal as living expenses.
Money left in the stock market needed time to double.
For now, he still had to find other ways to make money. Fortunately, as someone who had traveled back in time and possessed sufficient information, making money was not difficult. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping . com.
Just as he was about to leave the lobby of the securities company, he ran into Xiao Qian walking in with a man.
Li Mingyu, Xiao Qian’s suitor. Xiao Chen had heard Xiao Qian mention him before. The guy was a full-time stock trader.
“Qianqian, I’m telling you, this stock Beifang Timber is going to surge hard in the future. I’ve already taken a heavy position,” Li Mingyu said.
“I estimate the principal will at least triple this time. After you open your account, just invest in Beifang Timber.”
“Okay, Mingyu, I’ll listen to you,” Xiao Qian said excitedly.
She had been spending a lot recently and was short on money, which was why she had thought of Li Mingyu and planned to make a profit through the stock market.
When she looked up and saw Xiao Chen at the entrance of the lobby, her expression immediately darkened.
She walked over quickly and demanded, “Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?”
“Where I am and what I’m doing. Do I need to report it to you?” Xiao Chen asked, puzzled. Why did he keep running into members of the Xiao family everywhere?
“Xiao Chen.” Xiao Qian stamped her foot angrily. “Don’t get smug. You were just lucky yesterday. You’d better not let me catch you with evidence.”
“Otherwise, I’ll definitely send you to the police station.”
“I’ll be waiting,” Xiao Chen said indifferently as he turned to leave. He still had to hurry back for class.
“Xiao Qian, is this your brother?” Li Mingyu asked curiously as he looked at Xiao Chen.
“He’s that jinx,” Xiao Qian said bitterly. “He stole my Cartier Bracelet and still won’t admit it.”
“Xiao Qian.” Xiao Chen stopped and turned back.
He looked at her seriously and said, “If you have evidence that I stole your bracelet, then call the police and have me arrested.”
“If you don’t have evidence and keep slandering me and insulting my character, be careful or I’ll tear your mouth apart.”
Xiao Qian felt as if she could not breathe.
Xiao Chen was serious. In his previous life, he had been extremely cautious around the Xiao family, especially Xiao Qian. Whenever she got angry, he would lower his head and apologize.
When had she ever heard Xiao Chen say he would tear her mouth apart?
After a moment, she finally reacted and screamed, “Xiao Chen, what did you say? Say it again if you dare.”
“I said, if you dare to spread rumors and insult my character again, I will tear your mouth apart,” Xiao Chen repeated without hesitation.
“You, you… Li Mingyu, look at him. He’s scolding me. Are you made of wood?”
Xiao Qian was trembling with anger as she tugged at Li Mingyu, hoping he would stand up for her.
But Li Mingyu looked embarrassed and stammered, “Qianqian, your brother… actually has a point.”
“You don’t have evidence, so you can’t just accuse him. I suggest you go back and look carefully.”
“Sometimes I’m like that too. I can’t find something no matter how hard I look, but later I discover it in some corner.”
Xiao Chen glanced at Li Mingyu. The man seemed decent.
In his previous life, Li Mingyu had pursued Xiao Qian desperately, only to be treated as a backup by her.
In the end, he became disheartened and disappeared. In fact, his investment vision had been quite good.
“Li Mingyu.” Xiao Qian was almost furious to death. She could not believe her own suitor would not defend her.
“Qianqian, don’t be angry,” Li Mingyu said awkwardly with a smile.
Seeing that she was upset, he quickly tried to coax her. “Let’s go eat. I booked the best seat at the revolving sky restaurant.”
“They only hold the reservation until 11:30. If we’re late, we’ll lose it.”
Xiao Qian glared at him but reluctantly followed him away.
“Hey.” Xiao Chen called out to Li Mingyu.
“What is it?” Li Mingyu looked at him in confusion.
“You should sell Beifang Timber,” Xiao Chen said.
“Why? I predict this stock will surge in the next half month,” Li Mingyu asked, puzzled.
“It won’t. Beifang Timber mainly produces rosewood furniture,” Xiao Chen said. “Most of their raw materials are imported from Southeast Asia.”
“In the past week, the raw material production areas in Southeast Asia have suffered a once-in-a-century pest infestation, causing severe shortages in imported supplies. The stock will crash.”
“Who told you that?” Li Mingyu was startled.
If that news was true, he really needed to dump his holdings.
A shortage of raw materials would affect production. The stock price would definitely be hit hard.
“You actually believe him? He’s just a lousy high school student. Does he know anything about stocks?” Xiao Qian snapped. “And you believe his nonsense?”
“But… but,” Li Mingyu wanted to ask more.
“But what? Go back and put all your money into Beifang Timber right now,” Xiao Qian shouted.
“Qianqian, that’s not right,” Li Mingyu said anxiously. “Investing isn’t about acting out of anger. Even if we’re optimistic about Beifang Timber, we can’t go all in. That’s…”
“Li Mingyu, whose side are you on?” Xiao Qian said angrily. “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll never speak to you again.”
