Seizing Dreams [B1]

Ch8 - Picked up Money

"100,0001 per stack." Yu Hao said to Huang Ting, "1,200,000."

Yu Hao had sold his house for 240,000 yuan during his summer holidays. He went to the bank to collect cash in order to repay the medical fees that he had owed; each stack was 100,000 yuan, just like the ones they're looking at now.

Zhou Sheng said to Huang Ting, "Who would put so much money in a reservoir?"

The entire police station had been stirred up, everyone came over to look at the bag of money that the two of them had found.

Huang Ting said, "What were the two of you doing in Zhongshan's reservoir?"

Yu Hao, "Uh........"

Zhou Sheng shot Huang Ting a provocative look, "Does it have anything to do with you guys?"

"Of course it does." Huang Ting, "It's the middle of the night, why would two university students be at a reservoir?"

"Can't I just be teaching him how to swim." Zhou Sheng said.

Chen Yekai said, "Tell the truth! Yu Hao, explain it clearly yourself."

So Yu Hao had to tell them the truth. But of course, he didn't mention the black dragon in his dream. He just told them that he had read about ways to overcome the fears in his heart in his textbook. Huang Ting looked at Zhou Sheng, then he looked at Yu Hao.

"I'm guessing that this money must belong to some corrupt government official!" Zhou Sheng continued, "'Holding a huge amount of property with unidentified sources2', isn't that what they always report on the news? A big tiger3 might even be uncovered with this. We're the ones who rendered a meritorious service! Shouldn't you guys be thanking us right now?"

Sometimes Chen Yekai would wear an expression that's practically begging Zhou Sheng to stop talking, but he didn't expect Yu Hao to also say, "That's quite possible, this case needs to be investigated thoroughly."

"But that has nothing to do with you guys." After Huang Ting finished recording their testimonies, he closed his laptop, "As salty radish eaters, you don't need to worry about what bland radishes taste like4......yo! Superintendent?"

After the superintendent had received their call, he rushed over before finishing his dinner. Everyone stood up to shake hands with the superintendent. The superintendent patted Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng's shoulders and showered them with praises along the line of "it's not easy for youngsters to resist such temptations". A bright idea suddenly occurred to Chen Yekai, so he said in passing, "Could you guys confer on student Yu Hao a silk banner5?"

"That......we haven't found the owner yet." The superintendent hesitated, "Under what name could we confer it under? Why not......"

Zhou Sheng suddenly said, "'In the name of the people'6 of course! Speaking of which, don't customs dictate that if you don't pocket the money you pick up, 10% of it would go to the ones who found it as thanks?"

Superintendent immediately answered, "A silk banner should definitely be conferred."

"I'll make one myself." Chen Yekai immediately said, "Signing it under our station's name is enough." After he spoke, he looked at Zhou Sheng and quickly added, "Both of you will write it together."

Huang Ting also helped to add as he explained to the superintendent, "This kid is currently being framed. A silk banner could change the impression his college leaders has of him. Student Yu Hao is an honest person......of course, this red......golden......haired student is the same." No one dared to provoke Zhou Sheng as they didn't want be ridiculed by him again, so he added in a quick word for Zhou Sheng.
