It was already 7:30 PM when Jiang Tao returned to his rented house in xiao shahe village.

He boiled a pot of water and used his usual enamel basin to soak two large packets of instant noodles.

Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling—

Jiang Tao was halfway through his bowl of instant noodles when Xu Li's video call came through.

While eating the noodles, Jiang Tao swiped his finger to answer the call.

Xu Li, wearing a pink nightgown, appeared on the phone screen.

"Husband, how is my sister-in-law?"

Xu Li's concerned voice came from the phone.

On the way back, Jiang Tao had briefly told her about the situation at the hospital on his phone.

"Early-stage cervical cancer. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the chances of recovery are very high."

"Sigh! My sister-in-law is such a good person, how could this happen…"

"Wife, I'll transfer some money to you later. Tomorrow, you take our mothers and your sister, and all of you go for a medical check-up."

"Okay! I'll listen to you."

With He Fang's incident, Xu Li didn't feel bad about spending money this time and readily agreed to go for a medical check-up.

Jiang Tao continued, "Also, wife, we should have the HPV vaccine there, right? You and our mothers should get that too."

"Ah? Isn't that a bit expensive…"

A medical check-up wouldn't cost much, but getting the HPV vaccine would cost five or six thousand per person for three shots!

Four people would cost almost 20,000 yuan!

Xu Li was very touched when she heard Jiang Tao suggest that she get it.

It's just that the family is still heavily in debt…

Xu Li said, "Getting the HPV vaccine isn't urgent. Let's wait until our family gets through the current difficulties."

Jiang Tao: "You don't have to worry about the money. I'll figure out a way."

Xu Li: "Tomorrow, I'll take Mom and them to get the medical check-up first. If everything is fine, it doesn't matter if we wait a year or two to get the vaccine."

Jiang Tao was silent after hearing Xu Li's words.

In the end, it's still a matter of money!

If he and Xu Li had a few hundred thousand yuan in savings, they wouldn't have to hesitate about the few thousand yuan for the HPV vaccine!

At this moment, Jiang Tao once again felt his poverty, and his desire to make money became even stronger!

99.99% of the problems that plague ordinary people are money problems!

"Hurry up and eat your food. Get some rest after you finish."

Xu Li felt sorry for Jiang Tao's hard work and hung up the phone after saying a few simple words.

After ending the video call, Jiang Tao transferred 20,000 yuan to Xu Li on his phone.

Slurp, slurp, slurp~

After transferring the money, Jiang Tao finished the instant noodles in the enamel basin in a few mouthfuls and drank all the soup, letting out a satisfied burp.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it.

While puffing out smoke, Jiang Tao opened his phone and took a look. It was just past 8 PM.

[The next intelligence refresh is in 3 hours and 57 minutes. Please wait patiently…]

Seeing that it would take time for the intelligence to refresh, Jiang Tao took the enamel basin he used for eating to the public sink outside to wash it.

After washing the enamel basin, he went back to his room, boiled a pot of water, washed his face, soaked his feet, and went to bed to listen to audiobooks to pass the time.

Time quickly came to 0:00, entering a new day.

Jiang Tao couldn't wait to open the system to check today's intelligence.

[Today's Intelligence]: You passed by the Longxiang Street branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Huilongguan yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—

Inside ATM number 3 outside the bank, there is a 1999 edition of a beautiful number hundred-yuan banknote worth 40,000 yuan!

…

"A beautiful number hundred-yuan banknote?"

Jiang Tao didn't know much about commemorative coins and the like.

Seeing today's refreshed intelligence, his main focus was still on the words "worth 40,000 yuan"!

"Does this mean that there is a banknote worth 40,000 yuan in that ATM?"

Seeing this intelligence, Jiang Tao instantly became awake.

He quickly searched on his phone to find out what a beautiful number banknote was all about.

It wasn't as complicated as he thought.

Each banknote has a unique code, just like a person's "ID card."

As for beautiful numbers, they are those sequential numbers such as 12345678.

Or a reverse sequence like 87654321.

Or leopards like 111, 222, 333.

Or even all the same numbers.

All the same numbers are also called heavenly numbers or Qilin numbers, which means that all the digits are the same number.

In short, the beautiful number of this banknote is the same as the beautiful number of a QQ number, a beautiful mobile phone number, or a beautiful license plate number.

It is the favorite of some collectors who like to collect coins.

They like that kind of unique and beautiful number that is eye-catching, the more unique the better!

After simply understanding what a beautiful number is, Jiang Tao instantly lost all sleepiness.

The ATM is outside, and anyone can withdraw money.

To avoid any complications, he had to get that beautiful number banknote as soon as possible!

If the banknote was taken away while he was sleeping, he would have no place to cry!

"Fortunately, this time it's not rummaging through garbage bins!"

Jiang Tao hadn't taken off his clothes yet, so he directly put on the black cotton-padded coat he usually wore for hauling goods and went out.

After walking a few steps out the door, Jiang Tao returned to the room and rummaged through a second-hand wardrobe for a black woolen hat, and then put on a disposable mask.

Fully armed, only revealing two eyes.

Those who know would know that he was going to withdraw money from the ATM, those who didn't know would think he was going to rob a bank!

Jiang Tao didn't drink tonight, so he could drive himself, which saved him a taxi fare.

He directly drove his truck towards the ICBC on Longxiang Street.

He had been working around Huilongguan for more than six years and had become a living map of the area.

Just give him an address, and he can find it without navigation.

In 17 minutes, Jiang Tao drove his 4.2-meter truck to the vicinity of the ICBC on Longxiang Street.

At more than twelve o'clock in the morning, the streets were deserted and there was not a single pedestrian.

Only an occasional taxi running a night shift passed by.

Jiang Tao directly drove the car onto the curb in front of the bank, pushed the door open, and walked towards the ATM outside the bank.

"ATM number 3…"

Jiang Tao saw three ATMs lined up outside the ICBC.

The one in the middle emitted a faint golden light in Jiang Tao's vision, obviously different from the two next to it.

"Fortunately, there is this prompt function in the intelligence system, otherwise, who the hell would have thought that the one in the middle is number 3?"

Jiang Tao complained speechlessly, raised his leg, and walked to the ATM door, swiping his bank card to enter.

In recent years, with the increasing convenience of electronic payments, Jiang Tao rarely comes to the bank's ATM to withdraw cash.

After studying for a while, he put the bank card in and first checked the balance on it.

After paying off the 80,000 yuan in debt at home yesterday and transferring 20,000 to Xu Li, he only had 7652.67 yuan left on hand.

"That is to say, I can withdraw a maximum of 76 at a time?"

After checking the bank card balance, Jiang Tao then operated the withdrawal, entering the number 7600 on it.

Ka-cha, ka-cha, ka-cha—

The ATM made a noise, and soon a stack of banknotes came out of the cash dispensing slot.

Jiang Tao took the money in his hand and began to flip through the serial numbers on it, looking for the beautiful number mentioned in the intelligence.

However…

Among the 76, the so-called beautiful number was not found.

Except for a few consecutive numbers, all the serial numbers were arranged randomly!

Jiang Tao was not discouraged by the first failure.

He operated the ATM again, deposited the 76 banknotes back into the bank card, and then withdrew them again.

Fortunately, the ATM's withdrawal and deposit functions are managed separately, and different cash boxes are used.

The phenomenon that Jiang Tao would take out the money he had just deposited without changing would not occur.

That is to say, after he deposited and withdrew, the money he took out was new money that had not been taken out before.

"Still nothing…"

"The last chance! God of Wealth, bless me, it must come out for me!"

It seems that the ATM can withdraw up to 20,000 yuan on a single day.

After two consecutive withdrawals, Jiang Tao only had one last chance.

And, for the last time, he could only withdraw 4,800 yuan!

That is 48 bills!

If there is still no beautiful number banknote mentioned in the intelligence among these 48 bills, things will be a bit troublesome.

Jiang Tao would have to make an interbank transfer first, and then make an interbank withdrawal.

To avoid any complications, he must get that beautiful number banknote worth 40,000 yuan tonight!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The ATM spat out 4,800 yuan again.

Jiang Tao took the money in his hand and checked it one by one.

Suddenly, a banknote emitting a faint glow entered Jiang Tao's vision.

Jiang Tao's eyes quickly locked on the serial number of the banknote.

DZ44444444!

The serial number is all the same number of 4!

"Got it!"

Jiang Tao put the all-same-number banknote to his mouth and kissed it, then carefully put it in a notebook he had specially brought.

A face value of 100 yuan, worth more than 40,000, that is 400 times the profit!

After putting the money away, Jiang Tao deposited all the remaining 4,700 yuan back into the ATM.

With the beautiful number in hand, Jiang Tao retreated successfully and drove back to chengnan village, xiao shahe village.
