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

Caiyi seemed to wake from a dream, and somewhat flusteredly reached out to take the chocolate. She then quickly lowered her head, her originally fair face now slightly flushed, but fortunately the dim night concealed this shyness well.

She carefully broke the chocolate in half, then looked up at Xu Qingming with eyes as gentle as water, and said softly, "Let's eat together."

Her voice was like the gentle song of a nightingale, melodious and pleasant.

Xu Qingming smiled and nodded, taking the half-chocolate she offered, and softly replied, "Mmm."

The two stood there quietly, enjoying this sweet moment.

After they finished their chocolates, they walked slowly side by side along the lake.

However, at that moment, a sudden cell phone ringtone rang out, as if a sharp sword had shattered the tranquility and beauty of the night sky.

"Jingle Bell--"

Caiyi's body stiffened slightly, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.

She took out her phone and saw that the caller ID on the screen was Vivian.

Without the slightest hesitation, she pressed the answer button.

Vivian's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Caiyi, Jiang Yunhan has run away!"

This is where he is right now!

After saying that, she hung up the phone hastily without giving Caiyi any time to react or reply.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly sent Jiang Yunhan's location to Caiyi's phone, and then threw herself into her busy work.

Cai Yi, on the other hand, didn't even have time to utter a complete sentence before the phone went dead – the other party had ruthlessly hung up the call.

At this moment, Caiyi's face showed an undisguised embarrassment. She looked at Xu Qingming beside her, somewhat at a loss, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the night was as dark as ink, and the surroundings were completely silent; almost no sound could be heard.

However, the content of the phone conversation still clearly reached Xu Qingming's ears.

He frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Could you... not go?"

Faced with Xu Qingming's request, Cai Yi gently shook her head and replied firmly, "You would never have said such a thing before."

In their view, work always occupies a supreme position, its importance far exceeding anything else, no matter when!

After a brief pause, Cai Yi took a deep breath and then said to Xu Qingming, "I'm sorry, I have to go now. You should also go back to your dorm and rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left without hesitation, leaving Xu Qingming standing there, staring blankly at her receding figure.

Recalling their conversation that morning, Xu Qingming knew very well that, in the past, he would never have done something like what he just did.

After all, the Jiang Yunhan described by Cai Yi was far too perfect, so perfect that it seemed unreal, as if he were not a human being with flesh and blood, but a flawless and exquisite sculpture.

Just now, when that request came out, Xu Qingming knew in his heart that Cai Yi would definitely refuse.

"Can I come with you? After all... we're colleagues, right?"

Just as Caiyi turned around and took a few steps, he suddenly heard this sentence.

These words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly causing Cai Yi's already taken step to abruptly stop in place.

Cai Yi slowly turned around, a bright and charming smile blooming on his face, as warm as the spring sun, and said loudly, "Of course!"

The two then walked side by side, embarking together on their journey to the location Vivian had sent.

Along the way, a gentle breeze caressed their faces, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground, creating a beautiful, naturally formed painting.

Before long, Caiyi and his group arrived at the location sent by Vivian.

It turned out to be a bustling night market. As far as the eye could see, there were crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, with the throngs of people surging like a tide. Everyone was immersed in the lively atmosphere, either strolling leisurely or enthusiastically selecting their favorite items.

However, this harmonious scene did not last long.

Soon, Cai Yi and the others discovered the source of the commotion not far away—Jiang Yunhan.

He was frantically pushing a cart belonging to another vendor, hurtling around like a wild horse, completely disregarding the pedestrians and stalls around him.

Along the way, he knocked down many innocent pedestrians, causing a chorus of exclamations and curses.

Upon seeing this, the stall owner turned pale with anger and chased after Jiang Yunhan while shouting for him to stop.

The families of those injured were furious and followed closely behind, demanding a reasonable explanation and compensation from Jiang Yunhan.

Even the police officers responsible for maintaining order at the night market joined the pursuit, trying to stop the farce.

Faced with the crowd's pursuit, Jiang Yunhan showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, he became even more arrogant.

He kicked several people who tried to stop him, knocking them to the ground. Then, with a smug smile, he nonchalantly shouted, "Why are you all so agitated?"

Then, he shamelessly declared, "I'm helping the stall owner evade the city management officers' arrest!"

Hearing this, the stall owner nearly fainted from anger. He yelled at Jiang Yunhan from behind, "Are you out of your mind?! I clearly paid the stall fee, you know!"

Indeed, this stall owner has always operated legally and pays his fees on time every month, so there is no situation where he has been driven away by the urban management officers.

This guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere not only caused chaos in the night market, but also hurt so many innocent people.

If all these responsibilities are to be attributed to him, even if he sells everything he owns and goes bankrupt, he probably still wouldn't be able to afford such a huge amount of compensation.

Cai frowned deeply upon seeing the chaotic scene before him, his gaze quickly sweeping over his surroundings.

The place was teeming with people, a dense crowd surging like a tide, making it impossible to find a suitable opportunity to strike.

Meanwhile, the police were trying to evacuate the crowd, but Jiang Yunhan was like a mad beast, relentlessly pursuing the dense crowd.
