"I've studied the stock market trends, and I'm sure this stock is going to skyrocket. Look at this company's performance, it's always been good, but this year it plummeted in the stock market. However, I feel that within two to three years, this company will definitely see a surge in stocks again. At least by 2011, it'll be absolutely awesome and have great potential. Fengzi, lend me tens of thousands of yuan, and I'll pay you back in two years."

  "Big brother, it's only 2008, and what kind of company is this? I've never even heard of it. Is this an American company or something? Is it reliable? You think you're Warren Buffett or something? Get out of here! If I lend you tens of thousands, you'll lose everything, including your underwear."

  I glared at him, and he said the company was called Apple or something. I'd never heard of it either. What a terrible name. I've even heard of Banana Company."

  "You will regret this later." Brother Jingyun looked at the stock with a disappointed face and finally sighed, "What a pity, no money now."

  Many years later I regret today's decision very much, extremely regretful.

  Should I continue to let handsome brother stay there and make his rich dreams, I lay on my own bed, wanting to sleep, but the sound of playing cards was so annoying that I couldn't fall asleep at all.

  Such days lasted for half a month, every day a group of rascals came to our dormitory to play cards, finally discovered by the dormitory teacher, and Brother Yingjun's initial venture was killed in the cradle.

  Not bad, handsome brother initially failed in entrepreneurship and then found donkey brother to exchange entrepreneurial experiences. Handsome brother is still okay if he exchanges with butcher brother, at least butcher brother's family is a pig-slaughtering business, which is also a legitimate industry.

  But he found Donkey brother to discuss, and estimated that in a few days, he would have to let Donkey brother fool around and open a massage parlor.

  For half a month, Da Kui would often come to find me to play when he had nothing to do. This guy also liked to tell me about the unpleasant things he encountered at work.

  Anyway, Da Gui is quite bullied in the police station, even more miserable than Hong Zhuo. Although Hong Zhuo is not good at socializing in the hospital, he's still not a fool and can't do something as stupid as sending wreaths to his leader's home.

  But Da Gui is different, he can't stand any colleague and will beat them up, I'm surprised he hasn't been fired yet.

  Hong Zhuo and Da Kui are about the same, work is not going well, often calling me out to drink at night.

  Of course, the most thing I did in this half month was to call Zhao Shenyu and chat with her. Zhao Shenyu seemed not in a good mood either, when I asked her on the phone, she didn't say anything.

  Fortunately, with a carefree and leisurely life, the body that was originally injured by the cat demon also recovered day by day.

  One afternoon, I was taking a nap when suddenly my phone rang. I took a look and it turned out to be Da Gui's call.

  "Hey, what's up?" I asked drowsily.

  "Crazy brother, there's something I need your help with." Da Gui said on the phone: "Tonight at Lijiang Hotel, in one of the rooms, two cult members will be summoning a little ghost. This is absolutely reliable information!"

  "What's it got to do with me? Can't you police just go and catch him directly?" I said, wanting to hang up the phone. They always come to me for help with everything, what's the point of having police?

  "No, these two people have caught a little kid and are preparing to kill him. You also know that cult members will use evil magic, our police are afraid of not being able to catch them, my skills aren't enough, that's why I'm asking for your help." Da Gui said on the phone.

  "What's the benefit of it?"

  "Of course there is, with a bonus." Da Gui said on the other side: "I can allocate 500 from my salary as your reward."

  "Five hundred? What can you do with that?" I really wanted to scold this foolish guy, although I'm indeed short of money now as a university student, but could I just go and fight against two cult guys for five hundred? I'm fed up, and on top of that, he's going to take the money out of his own pocket.

  "No way, crazy brother, aren't we doing this to maintain world peace? And there's a child involved too. If you don't take action and the child dies, won't you feel guilty for the rest of your life?"

  "It's just a guilty conscience." I said to myself, and suddenly felt wide awake. Damn it, I'm just too softhearted.

  "Is the news reliable?" I asked, sitting up.

  "It's absolutely reliable grapevine information." Da Gui said confidently on the other end.

  "Alright, I'll trust you this time. Drive to the school entrance and pick me up." I hung up the phone, put on my clothes, grabbed my ghost-hunting backpack, said goodbye to Donkey Brother and the others, and walked out of the school.

  As I walked to school, a police car was already parked at the entrance. I sat in the passenger seat and Da Gui looked excited.

  "What's making you so happy?" I asked, divining rods in hand.

  "Finally, I can catch these cult guys, of course, I'm excited. In my life, I only have two wishes, one is to get promoted and the other is to get rich. Catching these guys will bring me closer to achieving my two dreams." Da Gui said happily.

  "Go on and continue to strive for your great ideals." I looked at the time, it was only 4 pm. The Lijiang Hotel is in Jiangbei District, a four-star hotel.

  I had Da Gui stop the police car in a parking lot far away and then walked into the Lijiang Hotel.

  As I went in, Da Gui whispered to me, "Those two cult guys are in 506. I'm in 508, right across from them. We'll go up and rest first."

  I followed him into the elevator and since there was no one else inside, I asked: "Aren't there any other police officers?"

  "This time, the leader gave me high priority and let me go first to make a meritorious deed. They covered us outside the hotel." Da Gui was so excited that he couldn't help but dance with joy, his expression looked extremely happy.

  I really want to kick him to death, is this what they call making a contribution? Is this letting him come forward as the vanguard? Besides, even if Da Gui single-handedly took down those two cult members, in the end it would still be the officials who get the credit, and he can only get some leftover scraps.

  Forget it, since I'm already here, I don't even feel like saying anything anymore.

  Da Gui took me to live in room 508, and it's not bad inside, quite luxurious. I think this is also my first time staying in a four-star hotel, before I would just find some random inn to get by. I was so happy lying on the bed, it felt so comfortable.

  "Crazy brother, don't sleep, I'll explain the plan to you." Da Gui took out a blue folder and said: "This time we two will go in and subdue those two guys, but can't untie the hostages' ropes. After that, our leader will personally lead the team up to untie the hostages' ropes."

  "Is this the plan?" I was stunned for a moment. If I wasn't mistaken, when the leader came up, there would definitely be a team of reporters following behind him. When the leader untied the hostage, those reporters would take pictures of the great scene of the leader bravely rescuing the hostages.
