Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 2

The System’s rewards for finishing the navigation are simply too generous!

A few minutes

The System is being incredibly generous for just finishing the navigation!

After a short while, Ye Feng managed to compose himself. Staring at the piles of red banknotes scattered across the floor, he began to speculate on the source of this wealth.

He recalled his landlord mentioning that the previous occupant of this apartment had been a wanted criminal. Apparently, the fugitive had been gunned down during a police chase, and the location of his stolen loot had remained a mystery until now.

The incident had caused quite a stir in the local area. This dark history was precisely why Ye Feng had been able to secure the lease at such a bargain price.

Given those facts, it was highly probable that this was the missing stolen money.

Since the criminal was deceased and the cash was effectively ownerless, Ye Feng felt there was no reason he shouldn't claim it for himself.

But the question remained: what should be his next move? Should he leave the money where it was?

Absolutely not! The landlord could drop by without warning, and being caught with this much cash would be disastrous.

What about depositing it in a bank? That was also out of the question. As a student from a modest background, suddenly possessing such a massive fortune would immediately trigger suspicion. People would assume the funds were obtained illegally and likely report him to the authorities.

So, what was the solution? Moving to a new rental? Ye Feng considered this, but since he wouldn't own the property, he still wouldn't feel truly secure.

While he was lost in thought, a crisp system notification echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host. For successfully completing the treasure-hunting navigation, you have been rewarded with the Zhongtian Lake-View Villa.]

[The reward is now available. Host, please inspect and claim it.]

Simultaneously, a brown kraft paper envelope materialized on the living room table.

"I already have a house?" With an expression of pure excitement, Ye Feng hurried toward the table.

He grabbed the envelope and tore it open to find two items: the property deed for the Zhongtian Lake-View Villa and its corresponding key.

He had heard of the Zhongtian Lake-View Villa before; it was renowned as the most prestigious and expensive residential area in all of Zhonghai City. He knew it wouldn't be cheap, but when he saw the contract price of 95 million yuan, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

This reward... was beyond incredible! He was now a man with a net worth exceeding one hundred million! It felt amazing!

Ye Feng tucked the documents and the key back into the envelope. He planned to fix the floorboards first, then find a vehicle to discreetly transport the 8 million yuan in cash to his new villa.

Just as he finished his preparations, the system spoke again.

[A new opportunity has been detected. In thirty minutes, a fuel tanker on Zhongshan Road will explode, resulting in the death of Xia Qiu...]

Ye Feng was stunned. Could the system provide opportunities in addition to treasure hunting?

Wait, Xia Qiu? Could it really be the Xia Qiu he was thinking of?

Xia Qiu was one of the premier vocalists in the Dragon Kingdom. Known for her melodic voice, innocent looks, and untarnished reputation, she was a top-tier celebrity. Ye Feng himself was a fan. Was it possible that she was the one in mortal danger?

He suddenly remembered a news report stating that Xia Qiu was scheduled to perform a concert in Zhonghai City in just a few days. It had to be her!

He couldn't stand by and watch. Even if she weren't a famous star, Ye Feng couldn't ignore someone in trouble now that he had been alerted. Furthermore, considering how generous the system had been with the navigation rewards, the reward for this intervention would surely be immense.

Filled with anticipation, he grabbed the paper bag, locked his apartment, and sprinted downstairs.

Zhongshan Road wasn't particularly far. A taxi ride would take roughly ten minutes. However, in this dilapidated, old neighborhood, finding a taxi was nearly impossible.

"Whatever, I'll just use a bike," he muttered. As he looked at a public bicycle, the system provided a new update.

[The Treasure Hunting System is initiating guidance. Route planning is active. Please follow the current path for 500 meters. You will pass through Yongkang Road and Xinghua Highway... The total distance is 8.3 kilometers, with an estimated travel time of 25 minutes.]

Cycling would take that long? Ye Feng checked his watch; only 28 minutes remained until the disaster. Time was running out!

He hopped on the bike, his legs churning at high speed. Even though it was only nine in the morning, the October sun in Zhonghai was brutal. The streets were nearly deserted due to the intense heat.

The few pedestrians he encountered were huddled under parasols. They watched in confusion as Ye Feng pedaled past, drenched in sweat. He didn't care about their stares; his only focus was reaching Zhongshan Road in time.

Xia Qiu’s influence was massive. Her upcoming concert in Zhonghai had even received official government backing. Everywhere he looked, there were banners and promotional posters featuring her. On them, she wore a striking red dress, her dark hair flowing beautifully. She truly was the nation's goddess.

The thought of meeting her in person sent a jolt of excitement through him. He recalled that his roommate was a die-hard fan as well. He decided he would try to get an autograph just to make the guy jealous.

Pedaling with all his might while his mind raced, Ye Feng finally reached Zhongshan Road 24 minutes later.

[The Treasure Hunting System will continue to guide you. Please proceed 100 meters further to reach the destination.]

100 meters more? Ye Feng wiped the perspiration from his brow and looked ahead. He saw a traffic light in the distance. Idling at the red light was a large fuel tanker, and directly behind it sat a luxury Mercedes-Benz RV.
