Chapter 285: Chapter 284: The Quintessential Sun Will Soon Debut
Listening to the narration in his mind, Su Qing frowned. He never expected that there could be more developments on Wang Xingâs side.
And it looks like Lin Miaomiao will be involved too. This is getting interesting. If it were just Lin Miaomiao, he would have urged Wang Xing to leave and eat somewhere else. But if thereâs a social bandit involved, things might not turn out as expected.
The most crucial point is that the narration once warned him not to interfere with Wang Xingâs fate. It might backfire, so he decided not to say anything but casually remarked:
"Thereâs no need to track Xu Feng anymore; heâs worthless now!"
"Thatâs not gonna happen. Youâre not my boss right now. This Miss Wang is not only generous but also easy to please. I just have to report where Xu Feng spends the night and who heâs seeing, and I get paid. Where can you find such a good deal? Qingzi, with my skills, donât you think I could open a detective agency, catching other women and such? The pay would be great!" Wang Xing said happily.
Su Qingâs eye twitched. Talk about jumping on opportunities. A detective agency? Whatâs he gonna be, the domestic version of Mouri Kogoro?
Even in the anime, Mouri Kogoro was always struggling. Plus, detectives arenât legally protected in this country; it might even be illegal. Living off that isnât impossible, but itâs tough.
Of course, there are similar jobs like paparazzi, which is similar in nature to this private detective work. Itâs all about sneaky photos anyway.
"Iâd still advise you to be careful. If you get caught following someone and get beaten up, youâll have no one to cry to."
"How could I? Iâm Sherlock Holmes!"
"Do you need to pee? If not, Iâll lend you some. Do you even realize your situation? If I hadnât given you Xu Fengâs locations, youâd have no idea where he is. Sherlock Holmes my foot."
Wang Xing: ...

"But this Wang Shanshan isnât too bright. You send her some photos, and sheâs so generous. Her transfers are never less than two thousand. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Looking at Wang Xingâs phone on the table, Su Qing couldnât help but sigh.
From his perspective, if sheâs already aware of the truth, Wang Shanshan doesnât need to keep monitoring Xu Feng. Whether itâs one piece of news or ten, whatâs the difference?
But this highlights the gap between someone as poor as him and a wealthy second generation like Wang Shanshan. She doesnât care about this small change, but she gets the information she wants, which could be useful someday.
Even if it isnât useful, when they eventually break up, she can use the photos and videos to utterly embarrass Xu Feng. She spent a million; whatâs a little more?
"Qingzi, although weâre on good terms, I donât allow you to badmouth my benefactor. Sheâs the most beautiful and intelligent woman Iâve ever met. If life could continue like this, in less than six months, I could buy a house in Jiang City."
Su Qing: ...
It has to be said, Wang Xing is made for big things. His ability to suck up isnât something just anyone can do.
From being a womanâs lapdog to now sucking up to a financial backer, you have to admit heâs made progress. After all, sucking up to women doesnât end well, but sucking up to a benefactor can be quite rewarding for him.
When two guys eat together, they can pick any place. A roadside food stall is tasty and cheap, and most importantly, the beer isnât expensive.
"I ran into Teacher Liu the other day!" Su Qing said helplessly, munching on a grilled chicken wing.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xing shuddered: "Damn, and youâre still alive? Itâs a miracle she didnât kill you. Come on, letâs drink to your hard fate, another round!"
Su Qing: "... If you really want to drink, do it yourself. Donât drag me into this. Are you planning to take me home?"
Thinking of Shen Yi, Wang Xing shook his head immediately. Before his brother could tame her, he planned to keep his distance from that woman.
"But on the plus side, she was pretty calm. It surprised me!" Su Qing continued.
"Isnât that a good thing? Would you prefer Teacher Liu to scream, cry, and threaten to hang herself, then follow you home, and then both of you get kicked out by Aunt Shen? Would that make you happy?"
"You... Why do I feel like youâre looking forward to such a plot twist?" Su Qing glared and spat.
Hearing this, Wang Xing chugged the remaining beer in front of him and burped, laughing: "I made a fool of myself earlier, and I was just hoping to watch your embarrassment for once. Itâs fair play. So whyâd you want to see me today?"
In response, Su Qing couldnât help but chuckle inside. Fair play, my ass. Youâre up to your neck in trouble and donât even know it, yet you want to laugh at me.
"Nothing much, just celebrating my video going viral and me becoming a top-tier influencer!"
Hearing this, Wang Xing was stunned, then quickly took out his phone. Seeing his followersâ count, he couldnât hold it in.
"Youâre impossible! How did you suddenly succeed? You canât do this; we should stay poor together.
Seriously, you know Tang Nan? No wonder you got so popular. Maybe I should start making short videos tomorrow. Do you think Iâve got what it takes?"
In response, Su Qing sized him up from head to toe and then nodded: "Yeah, I think you have potential. As long as you write about your experiences over the years, you could definitely be a hit. At the very least, you could write a novel called âMy Years as a Lapdog.â Who knows, you might become an overnight success, earn millions a year, become a CEO, and marry a rich, beautiful woman. How does that sound?"
