Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The Bodyguard Was a Great Help

"No, he’s this Miss Yun’s bodyguard."

Xiao Zhou wished someone this talented was on their force, but the fact was, the man was just a bodyguard.

"A bodyguard?"

Old Chen clearly didn’t believe it. A promising cybersecurity expert like this, and you’re telling me he’s a bodyguard?

You’ve got to be kidding me!

"Do you think I have any reason to lie to you?"

"He’s really a bodyguard?"

Old Chen was still in disbelief. Why would someone with such amazing computer skills have a change of heart and decide to become a bodyguard?

"Wait, I asked you here to see if he’s a professional, not so you could get ideas about recruiting him."

’You can’t just try to poach someone right in front of their employer!’

Xiao Zhou felt like he was worrying himself sick for the sake of the station.

"After all this, you’re still questioning his professionalism? Xiao Zhou, your judgment is a little off."

Seeing his chance, Old Chen took a jab at Xiao Zhou.

The back-and-forth between the two officers lightened the atmosphere considerably.

After a long moment, Zero One finally hit the Enter key, and a progress bar appeared on the laptop screen.

"This is..."

"I’ve traced the computer these cameras were connected to. I’m copying the videos from it now. Once the progress bar is full, we’ll be able to see all the footage."

With that, Zero One stood up and resumed his position behind Yun Zijin.

Old Chen’s gaze on Zero One was now burning with intensity.

"Um... young man, any interest in a change of career? For instance... becoming a cybersecurity officer?"

’Another one trying to poach my people,’ Yun Zijin thought.

"Not interested."

Yun Zijin felt a sense of satisfaction at Zero One’s reply.

"Are you sure you won’t reconsider? The pay and benefits at our department are quite good. If your skills are solid enough, we could even make an exception and offer you a permanent position."

Special circumstances called for special treatment. He believed the station’s leadership wouldn’t let such a promising talent slip through their fingers.

If they had an expert like this at the station, solving all their various telecom fraud cases would finally be within reach!

"Officer, trying to poach my employee right in front of me isn’t very professional, is it? A government job might be stable, but the benefits I provide are not insignificant. You should probably give up on that idea."

While Zero One and the others didn’t have a salary, Yun Zijin’s spending on them—calculated monthly—amounted to over a million for clothes alone.

Not to mention, they were almost always by Yun Zijin’s side, eating whatever she ate.

"But isn’t there a saying that a government job is the ultimate career goal? Miss Yun can’t stop the people under her from pursuing a life they prefer, can she?"

Old Chen was genuinely trying to recruit him. He was certain that this young bodyguard’s skills were among the best in all of Hua Country.

He must be extremely low-key, though, because Old Chen had never even heard of him before.

But that was fine. It wasn’t too late to discover him now.

"Oh? So, can your department provide them with at least five custom-tailored outfits every month? Or can it pay them a monthly salary of a million?

Oh, and I also cover their food and lodging and provide them with a private car. Can your department offer the same benefits?"

Yun Zijin casually listed a few of the benefits, leaving Old Chen and Xiao Zhou feeling envious. They were all working stiffs, so why could someone else earn a million a month while they only made five thousand?

"Well... our salary and benefits are... still decent."

For an ordinary person, their benefits were indeed quite good, but they just couldn’t compare to what Yun Zijin offered.

"The progress bar is almost full. Why don’t you two take a look first?"

Yun Zijin didn’t press the issue of salary. She knew Zero One and his team would never choose someone else; she had only said all that to make Old Chen and Xiao Zhou give up hope.

Only then did Old Chen and Xiao Zhou rein in their thoughts and focus their attention back on the computer.

When the progress bar hit 100%, the page closed, but a new compressed folder had appeared on the laptop.

Old Chen quickly clicked on it and extracted the files.

After the extraction was complete, Old Chen opened the first video file.

This video was from Lu Yunque’s Villa 02.

The date in the bottom-right corner of the video showed May 31st of this year, which was proof that the camera had been installed a long time ago.

If Yun Zijin hadn’t suddenly had the whim to go check on it today, they might never have discovered it.

"This angle is from the master bedroom’s balcony. Why is it filming the outside of the villa?"

Old Chen clicked through the videos one by one, his expression growing heavier and more alarmed the more he watched.

"This could be a premeditated... murder plot!"

"Murder? This is my first time in C City. It’s impossible for me to have offended anyone here."

If I were to offend someone, it would be someone in Dijing.

"I live in Dijing year-round and rarely come to C City. When I have come before, it was almost always for business trips."

Lu Yunque also explained his situation.

Moreover, Lu Yunque thought back and couldn’t recall offending anyone during his previous visits to C City.

They were all business partners. He wasn’t stupid enough to make enemies out of them.

"The killer’s target probably isn’t you two, but it’s very likely someone who lives in Boyue Residence."

Most of the footage from the installed cameras was aimed outward, as if for surveillance.

It was likely that the suspect had installed pinhole cameras in many of the villas throughout Boyue Residence.

"I don’t care what his reasons are. He installed this many cameras in my house without permission, and he’s going to pay the price for it!"

Yun Zijin was not the forgiving type.

"Rest assured, we will definitely find the suspect."

Boyue Residence was home to many powerful and influential people, so both Old Chen’s and Xiao Zhou’s expressions were grim.

"If it really is a murder plot, the cameras were installed in May, and it’s October now. Are you sure the suspect hasn’t made a move yet?"

Yun Zijin found it hard to believe anyone would have the patience to wait five months without acting.

"Since it’s murder, it must be well-planned. There haven’t been any reports of incidents in Boyue Residence during this time, so our initial assessment is that the suspect hasn’t succeeded yet."

"So when can we expect results? You’re not going to be lying in wait for several months, are you?"

After a few months, the trail would be completely cold.

"It won’t come to that. Miss Yun’s bodyguard has been a huge help."

"The videos Zero One tracked down are very complete. Once we go through them one by one, we should be able to identify the suspect."

"The Lu Family’s legal department will handle the follow-up. Can we leave now?"

Because of the camera incident, their afternoon plans were definitely ruined. Lu Yunque was not in a good mood.

"Alright. You just need to sign and leave your thumbprints here."

Xiao Zhou printed out the police report receipt and had Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin sign and add their thumbprints.

Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque signed and added their prints to the forms, then handed them back to Xiao Zhou.

Coming out of the police station, Yun Zijin let out a huge sigh of relief.

Inside the police station just now, her nerves had been stretched taut. The moment she was outside, she felt herself relax completely.

"It’s getting late. Let’s go find a place to eat first."

From the time they arrived at the police station to file the report, give their statements, and for Zero One to track down the videos, several hours had passed. The sun was about to set.
