Chapter 123: Secretly Installed Surveillance
Jiang Yuan was already experienced.
This situation calls for a live stream.
She got up, ate breakfast, changed out of her pajamas, and sat cross-legged in the living room wearing a red sweater and black pants.
At 10:30, Jiang Yuan picked up her phone.
The Red-eared Slider swam around excitedly, “Family, we’re finally live streaming again.”
Jiang Yuan clicked open Douyin and discovered that her fan count had almost reached two million, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
She hadn’t live-streamed in many days, and yet her fans had increased?
Not only had her fan count increased, but her private messages had also grown significantly.
Jiang Yuan quickly scanned through them, her attention drawn to a private message from three days ago, from a netizen named “Milk Tea Three Sugars.”
Her gaze slightly narrowed, and she clicked to view the full content.
【Milk Tea Three Sugars: Hello Jiang Yuan, the owner of Qiuqiu, Xiao Lan, that you posted about should be someone I know. Xiao Lan is my high school classmate, and we occasionally keep in touch. But last month when I messaged her, she didn’t reply. I thought she might have missed it, so I sent another message later, but she still didn’t reply. I asked other friends, and they also said she hadn’t replied to messages. It’s really strange.】
After reading the full message, Jiang Yuan’s brow slowly furrowed.
She replied to “Milk Tea Three Sugars” via private message: 【Hello, thank you for telling me this. I wanted to ask if you know Xiao Lan’s boyfriend?】
She remembered Qiuqiu saying that Xiao Lan had entrusted him to a friend’s house because she was going away with her boyfriend.
Jiang Yuan waited for a while, but the message still showed as unread.
The countdown in front of her showed nine hours remaining. She followed “Milk Tea Three Sugars” back and then started the live stream.
Jiang Yuan adjusted the angle of her phone. The live stream room already had one thousand viewers.
“Hello everyone,” she greeted.
【Hello host, you’re actually broadcasting so early today!】
【Front row~!】
【Finally caught you ahhhh】
【What plot will there be today, so exciting!】
【Finally waited for you, good thing I didn’t give up~】
Jiang Yuan scanned the bullet comments, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips, “Thank you everyone for your support. Today, I will connect with two viewers who raise pets to hear their furballs’ wishes.”
The viewership broke through five thousand.
Jiang Yuan began the connection.
The first person connected was a netizen named “Coke with Ice.”
A clean and pure face appeared in the split screen. The woman had shoulder-length black hair, half-tied up, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks when she smiled.
“Hello host, I’m so lucky to be able to connect to the live stream!” Coke with Ice said with a face full of surprise.
A hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, “Coke with Ice, do you have a pet?”
“Yes,” Coke with Ice said, holding her phone and walking next to a white Pekingese, “This is my son, his name is Tangyuan.”
Jiang Yuan greeted Tangyuan, “Hello Tangyuan, I’m Jiang Yuan.”
Tangyuan stared at Jiang Yuan on the phone screen for a moment, then uninterestedly turned its head.
Coke with Ice rubbed Tangyuan’s fluffy head, “Host, my Tangyuan has been a bit strange lately, can you analyze it for me?”
“How strange?” Jiang Yuan asked.
Coke with Ice: “He’s been staring at the air conditioner a lot recently, I don’t know why.”
“Staring at the air conditioner?” Jiang Yuan looked at Tangyuan and asked, “Tangyuan, is there something in the air conditioner?”
“Yes!” Tangyuan replied.
Jiang Yuan: “Then can you tell me what’s inside the air conditioner?”
Tangyuan blinked, looked at Jiang Yuan again, and its furry face showed a look of shock, “Huh? You can understand?”
“I can understand,” Jiang Yuan said, smiling and meeting its gaze. “Your owner is very worried about you. Can you tell me why you’ve been staring at the air conditioner?”
“Yes,” Tangyuan nodded and barked a few times gently. “The day before yesterday, Second Grandfather came into Mom’s room and put something in the air conditioner. I don’t know what it is.”
“Second Grandfather?” Jiang Yuan asked Coke with Ice, “Do you have a Second Grandfather?”
Coke with Ice looked surprised, “Why are you suddenly talking about Second Grandfather?”
Jiang Yuan: “Tangyuan saw Second Grandfather put something in the air conditioner in your room.”
“Ah?” Coke with Ice frowned. “Why would Second Grandfather put something in my air conditioner? Could it be refrigerant?”
【It’s not that hot yet, why would you need to use the air conditioner! Why would you install refrigerant now?】
【I have a bold idea… Could it be a surveillance camera!】
【The possibility of a surveillance camera is very high.】
【My friend had someone come to fix her air conditioner last time, and they secretly installed a surveillance camera inside.】
Seeing the netizens’ bullet comments, Coke with Ice suddenly felt a little scared.
“No way…” she hesitated. “How could Second Grandfather install a surveillance camera in my room?”
Although Coke with Ice said this, she became more and more flustered.
She ran into the room and shook her sleeping husband awake, “Husband, wake up quickly!”
Coke with Ice’s husband opened his eyes and asked with a frown, “What’s wrong?”
“Tangyuan said Second Grandfather put something in the air conditioner in our room,” she said uneasily.
“Huh?” Coke with Ice’s husband rubbed his eyes, feeling like he was still dreaming. “Wife, what are you talking about? How could Tangyuan talk?”
“The host translated for me,” Coke with Ice explained. “She can understand animal language.”
Coke with Ice’s husband couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to pinch his wife’s cheek. “Are you silly? Were you tricked in the live stream again?”
“No,” Coke with Ice said helplessly. “This host is really amazing, she wouldn’t lie.”
Coke with Ice’s husband completely disregarded it, rolled over, and prepared to go back to sleep.
【Oh, she’s not believed by her husband!】
【Actually, this reaction is normal. If someone told me that, I wouldn’t believe it either.】
【Honestly, you must take this seriously.】
【Otherwise, why don’t you get a ladder and go up to check it yourself?】
【Yes, checking it won’t cost you anything. What if there really is a surveillance camera?】
Coke with Ice looked at the bullet comments, feeling a lack of confidence.
She pulled back her husband’s quilt and shouted, “Get up! If you don’t get up, I’m going to get angry!”
Coke with Ice’s husband immediately got up and said with a fawning smile, “Don’t be angry, I’ll listen to you, okay?”
He put on his jacket, grabbed a stool, stepped on it, and reached up to dismantle the air conditioner.
“Did you see anything?” Coke with Ice asked nervously.
“No,” Coke with Ice’s husband shook his head.
Just as he finished speaking, he let out a surprised “Huh.”
“What’s wrong?” Coke with Ice asked again.
Coke with Ice’s husband frowned, picking up a small object that looked like a pin-hole camera, “What is this?”
“Let me see,” Coke with Ice took it from her husband’s hand and showed it to the viewers in the live stream room, “What is this?”
【Oh my god, it’s a pin-hole camera!】
【Sister, call the police!】
【Good thing you connected with the host today, otherwise it would have taken ages to discover…】
