Hey! The Criminal Assistance System Can Even Be Used Like This? 201

Li Jiahang’s every move was recorded in the data. Although he hadn’t reached the level of murder and arson—where one would face a minimum prison term of over ten years—he had obviously already brushed against the limits of the law.

Xu Zhizhi felt a twinge of curiosity. Did Li Feng truly know nothing about this? Or was he aware but feigning ignorance to protect his child? Most issues had already been resolved, with settlements and cover-ups in place, so additional discussion was unnecessary.

Xu Zhizhi felt a hint of regret as she skipped over Li Jiahang’s file to browse through others. After finishing, she sighed, realizing she hadn’t found any other clues.

“I think the next step is for the other party to make a move and try to have me steal the porcelain vase,” she mused. The object, worth fifty million, would transform drastically should Xu Zhizhi merely reach out.

Qin Su frowned and said thoughtfully, “Can I enter the scene tomorrow as a family member?” Xu Zhizhi considered this a valid approach. Qin Su was meticulous in his observations. As long as they took precautions, the other party would have no recourse.

They just needed to wait for filming to end to find relief. However, Qin Su’s vacation couldn’t last indefinitely; they would either need to find someone else or Qin Su would have to capture the other party.

But the latter would be far from easy. They couldn’t lure others into committing crimes.

Xu Zhizhi sighed, acknowledging that this matter was still somewhat troublesome. She had never considered being frank with Li Feng, not just because of the system, but because the biases in people’s hearts were monumental; unless the other party vanished, it was impossible for others to overcome the past.

Moreover, others might not genuinely harbor biases; humans were the species most adept at self-deception. Even if the other party knew she was a good person, would they be willing to give up the system’s tempting benefits for her sake?

Regardless of their positions or human nature, the other party would never believe Xu Zhizhi. Just like the system, they had always been adversaries from the start. The system wouldn’t collaborate with Xu Zhizhi because, compared to her, it was the natural-born criminal.

Ordinary people and criminals were inherently hostile. Moving to this point had been predetermined from the outset. After contemplating briefly, Xu Zhizhi sighed and swiftly abandoned her avoidance thoughts.

Qin Su understood Xu Zhizhi’s feelings and reached out to embrace her, saying, “Don’t overthink it. Just treat him like those people you’ve sent to prison before. Don’t harbor any thoughts of redemption for them.”

Kind-hearted people often overthink, and Qin Su understood this all too well.

“I know,” Xu Zhizhi replied.

As they expected, Li Feng expressed his disapproval of this arrangement, indirectly suggesting he hoped Qin Su wouldn’t return after his initial visit. Xu Zhizhi nodded at Li Feng, indicating agreement.

They filmed from afternoon until night, with the sequence all mixed up. For instance, daytime scenes involved exchanging the porcelain vase—handing over the already swapped fake vase. The night scenes involved switching the porcelain vase while discreetly hiding the real one for later retrieval.

The daytime scenes tested subtle expressions and created a tense atmosphere. For example, the antique expert brought in would conduct a third inspection. The assessment went smoothly, as the porcelain vase appeared normal from the boss’s perspective.

Wen Yang felt anxious; after all, what they had was now fake. Fortunately, the expert’s review passed, despite a few hiccups. Then, they had to switch out two vases at breakneck speed, using the opportunity of the other party turning to shake hands to make the swap.

However, Wen Yang deliberately slowed down a bit, prompting the other party to request yet another inspection. Wen Yang quickly produced another vase, but the other party insisted on a fourth check.

The expert examined it again, meticulously scrutinizing every detail. Everyone’s heart raced, for if they were found out, the other party wouldn’t let any of them off the hook.

When a momentary hesitation appeared on the expert’s face, all present were struck with fear. To their relief, Wen Yang declared the vase “genuine.”

In the end, Wen Yang had managed to pull one over on the boss, who appeared infuriated. After the vase was taken away, the boss, enraged, prepared to slap Wen Yang, who apologized, indicating her willingness to offer an alternative punishment the boss agreed to.

Later, there was a scene where Wen Yang gave the boss a harsh lesson, locking him in a room for one night with two men who had peculiar preferences. Meanwhile, Wen Yang sold the vase worth fifty mil
