University District Number 63.
Ever since finishing the phone call, Su Yuan had been staring at the time on his phone.
According to the 'answer' provided by the gray mirror.
In ten minutes, the owner of the white curly-haired puppy would arrive here.
Then they would settle the money and dog transaction.
Very quickly.
The distant roar of engines suddenly echoed from afar.
Immediately after.
A pink supercar sped over.
Whoosh~ The car door opened, and a young woman with exquisite makeup stepped out.
Along with a middle-aged woman who looked very efficient.
"That should be University District Number 63 over there."
The young woman glanced around and was about to walk toward the Number 63 storefront in the distance.
"Miss, wait a moment."
The middle-aged woman beside her immediately stopped her.
She looked at the slightly shadowy Number 63 storefront and whispered a few words.
The young woman hesitated briefly, but ultimately stayed in place without walking over.
Not long after.
Several black cars arrived.
More than ten bodyguards in black suits stepped out from them.
Only when the bodyguards were present did the middle-aged woman breathe a slight sigh of relief.
The young woman had mentioned that the caller knew Wangcai's name.
But who could say whether it was genuine or fake?
The information that the lost white curly-haired puppy was named 'Wangcai' had not been disclosed in the reward notice.
Indeed, not many people knew about it, but there were still some.
What if someone was using this as a trap...
Therefore, regardless of whether it was truly Wangcai.
The middle-aged woman had to prioritize the young lady's safety.
......
In the shadows.
Watching the several black cars behind the pink supercar, along with the more than ten black-suited bodyguards radiating cold authority.
Su Yuan felt somewhat apprehensive. If not for the gray mirror's assurance that the method was absolutely safe with no hidden risks.
The current Su Yuan would probably be considering whether to slip away.
Tap tap tap~ The young woman walked over gently, the black-suited bodyguards behind her looking extremely vigilant.
Su Yuan steadied himself, immediately stood up, pulled the white curly-haired puppy from his backpack, and stepped forward.
"Awoo..."
The white curly-haired puppy seemed to smell a familiar scent and immediately let out an excited cry.
"Wangcai!"
The young woman immediately recognized the voice and looked toward Su Yuan.
Since Su Yuan's back was still in the shadowy area.
The young woman couldn't clearly see Su Yuan's appearance.
However, although she couldn't see Su Yuan clearly, she instantly recognized the curly-haired puppy held in his arms.
Even though the puppy's fur was now gray instead of white.
The young woman was absolutely certain.
This was her Wangcai.
"Let me take a look."
Suppressing her joy, the young woman spoke.
Su Yuan paused for a moment, then proactively placed Wangcai from his arms onto the ground.
"Awoo!"
The curly-haired puppy immediately dashed into the young woman's hands.
"Wangcai, you've gotten so thin."
The young woman felt heartache, carefully examining Wangcai and finding that aside from being thinner and dirtier, there were no other issues.
"Auntie Ye."
The young woman happily hugged Wangcai, "Give him the money."
"Yes."
The middle-aged woman beside her nodded, then looked at Su Yuan standing in the shadows and smiled, saying, "How should we give you the reward?"
"My bank card number is..."
Su Yuan immediately recited the bank card number he had memorized beforehand.
"It's been transferred."
A moment later, the middle-aged woman Auntie Ye spoke.
Simultaneously.
Su Yuan also received a notification that one million yuan had been deposited into his bank account.
Forcing down his excitement, Su Yuan nodded and said, "Received."
After speaking, Su Yuan directly turned around, entered the shadowy area, and disappeared from sight.
During the more than half hour of waiting, Su Yuan had already explored the surrounding area and knew there was a small path behind leading to the nearby food street.
......
Inside the pink supercar.
The young woman was playing with Wangcai, her face full of smiles.
The middle-aged woman Auntie Ye asked beside her, "Miss, should we investigate that person from earlier?"
After so many days, Wangcai suddenly being found made Auntie Ye instinctively suspicious.
"Investigate what?"
The young woman shook her head and said, "As long as my Wangcai is safe, that's all that matters. Don't bother with anything else."
"That's true."
Auntie Ye nodded.
Feeling that she had overthought things.
Mainly because Su Yuan had been too straightforward.
If someone had truly set up a trap using Wangcai to scheme against the young lady and what stood behind her...
Why would they only ask for one million?
......
Under the night sky, Su Yuan walked along the Pujiang River, repeatedly checking his bank account balance.
One million.
For Su Yuan, this was absolutely a huge sum, whether in his previous life or current one.
Perhaps many people, many families, have assets exceeding one million.
But that includes all property, including real estate and other fixed assets.
Having one million in actual cash is still quite rare among ordinary people.
And this one million was only the beginning for Su Yuan.
Su Yuan collected his thoughts, looking toward the distant skyscrapers and vibrant nightlife.
For the first time, he felt that these towering buildings were so magnificent, and the dazzling nightlife was so beautiful.
Before, when Su Yuan worked part-time jobs shuttling between these skyscrapers, he could only look up at these behemoths, feeling nothing but suffocating pressure.
Su Yuan gazed calmly.
With the all-answering gray mirror, Su Yuan was confident that soon enough, he would become one of the masters of this prosperous Magic City!
"By the way, this is exactly where the Pujiang River is..."
Su Yuan's thoughts stirred.
He remembered that among the many methods provided by the gray mirror, several were related to the Pujiang River.
From ancient times to the present, Magic City's Pujiang River had witnessed countless events, with too many treasures sinking to its bottom, remaining undiscovered to this day.
And these treasures and wealth were no secret to Su Yuan, who possessed the gray mirror.
Of course, most of the numerous treasures and wealth sunk in the Pujiang River's depths came with certain dangers and risks.
For example, those sunk in the central river area where the water is deep and very conspicuous.
If Su Yuan went to retrieve them, first he couldn't guarantee he could swim there, and second, he could easily be discovered.
Truly risk-free and safe options weren't too plentiful.
"That location, in the shallow waters near the Pujiang River bank, has a box of gold bars sunk there."
Su Yuan looked along the Pujiang River toward a certain spot.
This box of gold bars came from the war-torn era over a hundred years ago, and its owner and descendants were long gone.
As long as Su Yuan could retrieve it, there would be no disputes or risks.
As for diving? The shallow areas of the Pujiang River weren't deep, only waist-high, and with careful movement, there would be no problems.
Moreover, the gray mirror had given a clear answer.
Retrieving that box of gold bars was absolutely safe, with no unexpected incidents occurring.
......
Two days later.
In the dormitory, Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the floor, with a several-square-meter mat spread out before him.
On the mat were placed various rare treasures and curios.
Jade pieces, statues, gold items were everywhere.
Additionally, Su Yuan's bank account balance had skyrocketed to 9.38 million yuan.
