"I can add more money, five thousand, is that okay?"
As for why Wan Xinpeng insists on running away.
It's not that Wan Xinpeng plans to spend the rest of his life as a fugitive. To be honest, in modern society, having the status of a fugitive is something you can endure in the short term unless you have extraordinary ways, but over time, it becomes quite torturous and suffocating.
Wan Xinpeng wants not to be a fugitive, but to turn himself in after running away.
This seems a bit like taking off your pants to fart - redundant (Wang Ze never uses this idiom).
But friends who are often caught for crimes and then imprisoned know that self-surrender is a significant factor for leniency during the sentencing process.
And Wan Xinpeng is also well aware of the scale of his theft case. Although the amount is large, no one was harmed, and the items weren't actually stolen. These conditions will further decrease the importance of this case in the bureau.
