Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 2
Previously on Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment...
The System’s rewards for finishing the navigation were simply too generous!
After a few moments, Ye Feng managed to regain his composure. He stared at the piles of red banknotes scattered across the floor, pondering the mystery of their origin.
He recalled a conversation with his landlord, who mentioned that a fugitive had previously occupied this apartment.
The criminal had been gunned down during a chase, and rumors suggested the stolen loot had never been recovered...
The incident had caused a massive stir in the local area.
This dark history was precisely why he had managed to secure the rental at such a bargain price.
If that were the case, was this the missing illicit cash?
The fugitive was dead and buried.
The money was effectively ownerless.
It seemed there was no legal or moral hurdle stopping him from claiming it as his own.
Still, the question remained: how should he manage this fortune?
Could he leave it sitting here?
Absolutely not!
The landlord might drop by unexpectedly, and being caught with such a sum would be a disaster.
What about the bank?
That was out of the question!
He was merely a student from a modest background. Walking in with this much cash would immediately trigger suspicion of money laundering or other crimes, likely resulting in a police report.
So, what was the solution?
Perhaps renting a new place?
Ye Feng considered this, but since the property wouldn't be his, he still felt vulnerable.
Just then, a mechanical voice resonated within his consciousness.
[Congratulations, Host. For successfully completing the treasure-hunting navigation, you are rewarded with a Zhongtian Lake-View Villa.]
[Reward issued. Host, please inspect and claim your prize.]
Simultaneously, a kraft paper envelope manifested on the living room table.
‘I already have a house?’
With a look of pure exhilaration, Ye Feng rushed toward the table.
He snatched up the envelope and tore it open. Inside were two items: the property deed for the Zhongtian Lake-View Villa and its corresponding key.
He recognized the name immediately.
It was widely known as the most prestigious luxury residential area in all of Zhonghai City.
He knew it would be expensive.
However, when his eyes fell upon the contract price of 95 million, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
This reward...
It was beyond incredible!
He had just become a man with a net worth exceeding one hundred million!
This was amazing!
After tucking the documents and key back into the bag, Ye Feng planned to replace the floorboards temporarily. His next move was to find a vehicle and covertly move the 8 million yuan to his new villa.
The moment he finished his preparations, another system alert chimed in his mind.
[A new opportunity has been detected. In thirty minutes, a fuel tanker on Zhongshan Road will detonate, and Xia Qiu will perish in the blast...]
So the system could provide life-saving opportunities in addition to treasure hunting?
Ye Feng was stunned.
But wait, Xia Qiu...
Could it be the famous singer?
Xia Qiu was a superstar in the Dragon Kingdom, renowned for her angelic voice, innocent looks, and impeccable reputation. She was truly one of the nation's most beloved icons.
Ye Feng himself was a fan.
Was she really about to meet such a tragic end?
He suddenly remembered a news report stating that Xia Qiu was scheduled to perform a concert in Zhonghai City in just a few days...
It had to be her!
He couldn't let her die!
Even if she weren't a famous celebrity, Ye Feng couldn't simply stand by and watch an innocent person die now that he had the information.
Furthermore, the system had already proven how lavish its rewards were.
Given the system's track record, the reward for this mission would surely be astronomical.
Filled with purpose, Ye Feng grabbed the paper bag, locked his apartment, and sprinted downstairs.
Zhongshan Road wasn't particularly far; a taxi ride would usually take about ten minutes.
However...
This was a run-down, aging neighborhood where finding a taxi was nearly impossible.
‘To hell with it, I’ll take a bike.’
As he looked toward a public bicycle, the system voice spoke again.
[The Treasure Hunting System is initiating guidance. Route planning active. Please proceed along the current path for 500 meters. Your route includes Yongkang Road and Xinghua Highway... Total distance is 8.3 kilometers, with an estimated arrival time of 25 minutes.]
It would take that long by bike?
Ye Feng checked his phone; only 28 minutes remained before the disaster.
Every second counted!
He hopped onto the bike, his legs pumping with desperate speed.
The October heat in Zhonghai remained oppressive.
Despite it being only nine in the morning, the sun beat down mercilessly, leaving the streets nearly deserted.
The few pedestrians he encountered were mostly shielded by parasols.
They watched with confusion as Ye Feng, drenched in sweat, pedaled past them like a madman.
He didn't have a moment to spare for their stares. His only focus was reaching Zhongshan Road in time to save a life.
Xia Qiu’s influence in the music industry was massive. Her upcoming concert in Zhonghai had received significant official backing.
As he rode, he passed countless banners and promotional posters featuring her image.
On the posters, Xia Qiu appeared breathtaking, her black hair flowing over a vibrant red dress.
She truly deserved the title of the nation's goddess!
The thought of meeting her in person sent a jolt of excitement through him.
He remembered his roommate was obsessed with her. If he could get an autograph, that guy would be green with envy...
Pushing those thoughts aside, he focused all his strength on the pedals.
Twenty-four minutes later, he finally reached Zhongshan Road.
[The Treasure Hunting System continues to guide you. Follow the path and reach the destination in 100 meters.]
Just 100 meters more?
Wiping the sweat from his eyes, Ye Feng looked ahead.
A traffic light stood in the distance.
Waiting at the red light was a massive fuel tanker, and parked directly behind it was a luxury Mercedes-Benz RV.
