My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1047 - 618: How Expensive It Is Outside

Finally, from Meng Qingqing's tone and expression, something seems off.

This doesn't seem like an old grandma being bullied; why do I feel like, in your eyes, I'm the evil villain?

Meng Lang instinctively glanced at his study.

A possibility crossed his mind, and he asked with a dark expression.

"Did you go into my study again?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingqing instinctively shrank her neck, but seeing Meng Lang's accusatory look, her stubbornness flared up and she decided to come clean.

"Yes! To be honest with you, I've found out everything about you!

Including that bag of money inside and the scene where you were just trading with someone, I saw it all!"

Meng Lang was speechless for a moment.

So, the whole scam thing is a complete fabrication, isn't it?

Anxiety leads to mistakes; turns out it was a diversion!

No matter how much you guard against, you can't guard against a family member… How careless!

However…

"Trading with someone? What kind of trade?"

"Oh, stop pretending! If you weren't trading with that shady guy, where did you get the money?"

Uh... although, technically, it was a kind of "trade," it doesn't seem to match the "trading" concept in your mind.

"So, you think your brother is committing a crime?"

Meng Lang couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry, only now realizing Qingqing's strange behavior was because she misunderstood him...

"What else could it be? Explain it! Where did this money come from?" Meng Qingqing glared at Meng Lang.

"I..."

Meng Lang found himself at a loss for words.

Explaining this money would be a long story.

I have to first explain it was obtained by selling hostage information, personally handed to your brother by the captain of the criminal police team.

Then you would definitely ask, "Where did the hostage information come from?"

Can I say the hostage was your brother's doing?

I feel like this would just make it sound worse...

"What, can't explain it?" Meng Qingqing looked like she knew it, making Meng Lang speechless.

"It's too complicated to explain in a short time, but that doesn't mean your brother committed a crime. You can't assume guilt just because you suspect something!"

"Who says you can't? The news always talks about... unexplained sources of income, and people have been arrested for that!"

Meng Lang rolled his eyes, "That's called 'a crime of unexplained large sources of property,' according to Criminal Law, it's only applicable to state officials, alright!"

Rather than pacifying her, Meng Qingqing became even more excited.

"Oh~ So it is! You even know that! Brother! You're a Chinese major, not spending your time on poetry and romance but researching Criminal Law!

Who in their right mind locks themselves in a study all day researching Criminal Law?"

"Uh..."

What you say makes so much sense I can't even argue.

But can I tell you that your older brother is a special case, studying this during "paper sentencing" time?

It's been ten years, and I'm not allowed to make some efforts?

"This only proves your brother is knowledgeable and well-read, not a criminal, right..." Meng Lang rolled his eyes.

"Fine! So you won't admit it, huh, then what about this!"

Meng Qingqing suddenly stood up, took the black small bag from the study, opened it, and pointed at it with slightly trembling fingers…

"Then Brother, explain what this is!"

Meng Lang: "..."

He looked at the Overclocking Potion, then raised his head and looked at Meng Qingqing with a peculiar gaze.

"So... what do you think this is?"

"What else could it be! You don't suppose you're going to tell me this is a beauty injection?"

"Well, no, this is a superpower potion. One shot and you transform into Superman kind of thing."

Meng Qingqing: "..."

"Does it make you smash stones on your chest?"

"No, this thing mainly boosts agility, not defense."

"Bang!" Meng Qingqing slapped the table in anger.

"Brother, at a time like this, you're still joking! Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

No, I just think even if I told the truth, you wouldn't believe it...

Meng Lang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

He was uncertain about what kind of "criminal" source Qingqing had come up with for this money from his study.

But combining it with her random "caviar" earlier…

Could she have associated him with some villainous industry from HK films?

But as an ordinary newly graduated young person, suddenly bringing in millions, gold, and US dollars as "emergency valuables," who wouldn't find this income suspicious?

But what he cared more about wasn't how to explain the matter.

What concerned him was Meng Qingqing appearing in the photo from the last episode, which meant she successfully infiltrated his organization.

Could today's matter be the cause of all this?

After all, with Meng Qingqing's habit of not fearing trouble when watching the fun, the more dangerous the things he does, the more thrilling they must seem in her eyes.

Once she catches even a hint, she'll cling to it relentlessly, unable to shake her off.

But this alone certainly isn't enough to make me decide to bring her into the plan.

Could it be that this girl has some special skills I don't know about?

Otherwise... I'm certainly not just letting her in to babysit, right?

Emotionally, he doesn't want Meng Qingqing to get involved in any danger.

Although there is no pure land on Earth, and nowhere can escape the final end.

But charging forward with me, compared to hiding behind awaiting the final judgment of "survival or destruction",

For ordinary people, ignorance of the latter might actually be somewhat blissful.

Sigh! If only Lin Haitang had left the "amnesia technology" for me.

Otherwise, giving this girl a shot would make things much easier...

Seeing Meng Lang squint his eyes, pondering thoughtfully with his hand on his chin as he looked her up and down, Meng Qingqing suddenly felt a bit scared.

"Bro... Bro, don't look at me like that? You're not thinking of getting rid of me because your plan's been exposed and you can't find an excuse, are you?"

Meng Lang rolled his eyes.

"So you've discovered my plan's been exposed, why didn't you report me in the spirit of justice and loyalty?"

"Bro, what are you talking about? I'm your sister, how could I possibly do such a thing?"

"Then there you have it, I'm your brother, how could I possibly do such a thing to you?"

"So... you're agreeing to quit?" Meng Qingqing said happily.

"Weren't we supposed to make thirty million first?" Meng Lang said with a teasing smile.

"Well, I was worried you'd be too greedy, so I borrowed Brother Yanzu's lines for convenience.

Hmm! I see this bag is enough, a few million, so tonight we'll just leave, escape overnight, never return, what do you think?"

Meng Lang couldn't help but chuckle.

"Your little calculations are pretty sharp, but if your brother were really into this, do you think hiding the monk would hide the temple?"

"Ah? You're saying they'll chase us all the way to Meng Family Village?"

No! They'll chase us to the ends of the Earth...

"Alright, kidding aside, do you seriously think your brother is the type to engage in criminal activities? Rest assured, this money is definitely clean!

It's an unexpected labor remuneration, legally taxed and everything!

You can spend it as you like without any worries!

And this potion, it isn't what you think it is, want me to jab it to show you?"

"Hey, no!"

Seeing Meng Lang pick up the potion intending to jab it into his arm, Meng Qingqing quickly stopped him, frightened.

The key is if you want to try, just try, but how is jabbing it into my arm any fair?

Even if it isn't that stuff, would I dare use unverified products?

Seeing Meng Lang so calm that he didn't look caught in the act, Meng Qingqing started to doubt her suspicions.

Could it be that she'd really guessed wrong?

Her heart suddenly leaped with joy.

"So tell me, where did this money come from?"

"This is a business secret, I can't tell you."

"Then I'll go tell Mom and Dad!"

"Uh... Ten gold bars!"

"Bro, are you trying to buy me off? Meng family ancestral teachings, wealth can't corrupt us!"

"Then I'll buy you a ticket home right now."

"Wait! It's not shameful to ask for hush money, but the usual rule is to split it in half when we meet!"

"Wealth can't corrupt us?"

"Bro! If you attain wealth, don't forget me! Didn't I share my instant noodles with you in the past?"

"Do you know that this amount is enough to constitute extortion?"

"What extortion? Obviously, it's the dowry you are giving me in advance!"

"At most I'll give you another hundred thousand."

"Bro, you have no idea about the shock I've just been through! That mental anguish, loss of youth, and nutritional costs...

That's got to be 10+10+10, equaling 2.5 million, right?"

"Was your math teacher a loan shark?"

"Who doesn't dream of getting rich overnight! Come on, bro, sit here, let's think together~"

"Sigh~"

"Hey! Old bro, where are you going?"

"My head hurts a bit, going out to relax."

"Oh come on, bro, why waste money on that, I'll give you a massage, I'm really good! It's so expensive outside!"

Pushed back onto the sofa, Meng Lang looked at Meng Qingqing, who was giving him a sycophantic shoulder rub, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.

"I don't want your house, don't want your car, just want to soothe your day's fatigue, softly accompany you with some conversation, embellish whatever you say, and most importantly, never rip you off...

One session is just $499, do you think that's expensive?"

Meng Qingqing: "..."
