I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Thinking about it carefully, it's true. After all, Ming is already in his thirties, so how could his mother not be extremely anxious about his marriage?

Even his family seemed to be getting restless, wondering if they should introduce him to a suitable partner within his military unit.

Upon hearing this, Caiyi's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "How come I've never heard of this before?"

Vivian shrugged helplessly and replied, "You're always so busy with work that you're practically invisible, so naturally you don't have a chance to know about these things."

Cai Yi blinked, then leaned close to Vivian and whispered, "Vivian, have you ever met Xu Qingming's mother?"

In fact, she had met Xu Qingming's mother before, but that was several years ago, and the memory had become blurry over time.

Vivian nodded and replied, "Of course we've met, and we've even added each other on WeChat."

Upon hearing this, Caiyi's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he quickly said, "Then please send me her WeChat ID as soon as possible."

However, Vivian looked at her suspiciously and pressed, "What exactly do you want?"

When Vivian asked, Caiyi just smiled slightly and didn't answer, replying mysteriously, "That's my little secret."

Vivian frowned and said seriously, "Don't go too far! I don't want Ming to come after me for this when he gets back."

Caiyi quickly waved his hand, putting on an innocent expression, and said, "Oh dear, how could I be that kind of person?"

Vivian glanced at her sideways after hearing this and replied irritably, "Hmph, sometimes that's true!"

Hearing this, Caiyi chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't cause you any trouble this time."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to ask you. After you take my sidearm, remember to have someone from your family send it over along with the other sidearms."

With that, Caiyi turned and walked towards the police station exit, calling out as she went, "I'll head back to school now, thanks, Vivian~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly walked to the roadside and raised her arm to wave at the passing vehicles.

A short while later, a taxi slowly pulled up in front of her.

Cai Yi opened the car door, got in, closed the door, and the car quickly drove away.

Meanwhile, Vivian, who remained where she was, shook her head helplessly, chuckled softly, and then walked towards the woven cart that her family had specially arranged for her.

She opened the car door, got in, started the car, and with a roar of the engine, the car sped off like an arrow and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

After all, she still had an important task to complete—to go back and keep a close eye on the monitor screen to prevent the eccentric couple from doing anything unexpected.

Vivian hurried back to the Special Operations Department, and only after sitting down at her desk did she suddenly slap her forehead, realizing that there was still an important matter to deal with.

So she quickly picked up her phone from the table and dialed Caiyi's number.

At that moment, Caiyi, who was busy, heard a crisp phone ring. She stopped what she was doing and looked at the constantly flashing phone screen next to her.

When she saw that the caller ID showed Vivian, she was slightly taken aback and a sense of doubt arose in her heart, but she quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, what's wrong, Vivian?"

Caiyi's voice carried a hint of surprise, after all, they had just parted ways.

Vivian's somewhat calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's nothing serious. It's just about what happened yesterday when you fired the gun. After some discussion, the family has made a simple decision on the punishment."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yi's heart skipped a beat.

She had been secretly relieved that things seemed to have calmed down after yesterday's thrilling incident, but it turned out that Vivian had forgotten to tell her about it!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly lament her misfortune, regretting that she shouldn't have taken any chances.

Vivian continued, "Your entire bonus for this month will be deducted, and you'll also have to write a 5,000-word self-criticism, which must be submitted to the Special Affairs Department by next Monday."

After saying that, Vivian hung up the phone decisively without waiting for Cai Yi's response.

Caiyi stared blankly at the phone, now that the call had ended, a look of utter misery on his face, as if he were wearing a mask of pain.

She sighed helplessly, frowned, and dragged her heavy steps slowly toward the dormitory.

All the way, she kept muttering to herself, "Oh, my bonus... how am I going to write a 5,000-word self-criticism!"

When Caiyi dragged her slightly tired body back to the dormitory, she first stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and then very carefully pushed the door open a crack.

However, the moment she stepped into the dormitory, her keen hearing caught a slight noise coming from the bed.

Jiang Li, who was still sound asleep, was startled awake by the sound of the door opening.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and subconsciously looked towards the door.

When Jiang Li recognized Cai Yi as the person who had come, she finally felt relieved and blurted out, "Cai Yi! You're alright!"

The exclamation was like a thunderclap, shattering the tranquility of the dormitory. It not only completely woke up the other two roommates, Wei Ke and Li Xue, but also made them get out of bed out of curiosity and quickly gather around Cai Yi, their concern evident in their expressions.

"Caiyi, are you really alright? You have no idea how worried Jiang Li has been about you since you left!"

As Wei Ke spoke, he looked Cai Yi up and down, seemingly trying to confirm that she was truly safe and sound.

Li Xue nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, we've all been hoping for your safe return."

Faced with such warm concern and greetings from everyone, Jiang Li seemed a little awkward.

She shifted her gaze slightly, trying to hide her embarrassment by changing the subject: "Caiyi, tell us quickly, how did you get out? And who bailed you out?"

Caiyi smiled faintly and replied softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine now."

"My family arrived in time to bail me out."

Then, she looked at everyone surrounding her and said gratefully, "Thank you all for your concern. I am truly grateful to you all."
