Chapter 73: Its Sense Of Crisis Is Also Growing Stronger
Lai Rongtao stared at the silver USB drive, his heart instantly turning to ashes.
His face was pale, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Why…
He struggled internally for a long time before crying out, “They forced me to do all of this!”
Lai Rongtao eventually confessed the process of his two crimes.
【System 009: Congratulations on completing LV1 Mission “Find the Truth,” you have obtained the reward: Cervidae Dictionary, one million cash, and 50 points. 】
System notifications and messages from Xiao Xu arrived simultaneously as Jiang Yuan returned to Fuze Garden.
She finished reading the messages by the flower bed on the first floor and glanced at her bank card balance, which was over six million.
Jiang Yuan’s lips curved slightly, and she was contemplating going out for a good meal tonight when she looked up and saw two figures dressed in luxurious and noble attire standing not far away.
She found them familiar, and a scene from her dream suddenly flashed through her mind.
These two people… were Meng Yunlan and Meng Zhiwei!
One was the person who had replaced her identity and lived a life of privilege in the Meng family for twenty-three years.
The other was her aunt, who had never looked her in the eye since she returned to the Meng family, and no matter how she tried to please her, Meng Zhiwei only had eyes for Meng Yunlan.
“Aunt, should we go up?” Meng Yunlan affectionately linked arms with Meng Zhiwei.
“What for?” Meng Zhiwei thought of the content written in the information and disliked her niece, whom she had never met, from the bottom of her heart. “The air here isn’t good, let’s go.”
The two turned around and happened to see the face they had seen countless times in photos.
Probably not expecting to run into her here, both of them looked flustered.
Jiang Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, her gaze clear, cold, and indifferent. She strode past them with her slender legs towards Building Six.
Meng Zhiwei was lost in thought for a long time.
“Aunt?” Meng Yunlan called her several times.
Meng Zhiwei came back to her senses and murmured, “Her face looks exactly like your grandmother when she was young…”
“Really?” Meng Yunlan bit her lip lightly, her heart filled with resentment.
She clenched her fists and secretly vowed in her heart.
In this life, she would never let Jiang Yuan off!
**
Night fell, and the lights illuminated the city, the flashing neon signs decorating the entire city into a brilliant spectacle.
Jiang Yuan took her family out for a delicious beef hot pot meal.
Upon returning home, Deng Rui placed a large plate of fruit on the coffee table and played on her phone while eating fruit.
While scrolling through a video, she suddenly exclaimed, “Yuan Yuan, is this you?”
Jiang Yuan leaned over to look, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Her video of riding a tiger had already reached her mother.
After a while, her action of eating an orange suddenly paused as she remembered that the video of the Tiger Brothers hadn’t been posted online yet!
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then logged out of her original Douyin account and registered a new one.
After filling in her personal information, she published the video of the Tiger Brothers.
Remembering what she had promised the volunteer girl before, Jiang Yuan shared the video with her on WeChat.
After doing all this, she got up to take a shower in the bathroom.
After blow-drying her hair, Jiang Yuan lay on the sofa and picked up her phone again. Upon seeing the message notifications on the screen, she was stunned for a long time, thinking her eyes were deceiving her.
She clicked into Douyin and saw that all the messages in the message bar were 999+.
“What’s going on?” She clicked on her works homepage and discovered that the playback volume of the Tiger Brothers’ video had already surpassed one million.
Jiang Yuan belatedly realized that the Tiger Brothers’ video had gone viral.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and she felt very happy.
She would have an easy time explaining things when she saw them next.
Jiang Yuan scrolled through the netizens’ comments, amused, her raised lips unable to be suppressed.
There were too many comments to scroll through.
Jiang Yuan then checked her private messages. Some were inexplicable insults, some were praise, and some were about the situations of their own furballs.
At this moment, the system notification suddenly sounded.
【System 009: LV1 New Mission triggered, collect the wishes of two small animals. Mission reward: Hedgehog Family Dictionary. Mission penalty: Lightning strike. Time limit: 10 hours. 】
Hearing the ten-hour time limit, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but furrow her brow.
Why was the mission duration so short? Was there a mistake?
【System 009: Miss Jiang, the mission release is not erroneous, please complete the mission on time. 】
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She slowly sat up, feeling fortunate that there were at least two small animals at home.
“Blueberry, come here.” Jiang Yuan beckoned to Blueberry.
At this moment, System 009 reminded her considerately: 【 Miss Jiang, pets you raise yourself do not count. 】
Jiang Yuan: “…”
This was discrimination!
Blueberry had already jumped onto her lap, tilting its head up and looking at her curiously, “Yuan Yuan, what do you need me for?”
Jiang Yuan smiled, “It’s nothing, I just wanted to pet your head.”
Blueberry blinked its cat pupils and proactively leaned its little head over, “Here, you can pet me.”
Normally, it would just haughtily turn its head and jump down.
Now, there was no choice; the owner had more and more pets, and its sense of crisis was growing stronger.
If it didn’t compete for favor, the owner might not even remember it.
After petting the cat, Jiang Yuan noticed the countdown had changed to nine hours and forty-eight minutes.
She glanced at the night sky outside the window, frowning, truly unwilling to go downstairs.
Jiang Yuan had reason to suspect that System 009 was intentionally making things difficult for her, unable to stand seeing her too comfortable.
She mentally cursed the system dozens of times.
【System 009: Miss Jiang, this is a randomly triggered mission, not intentionally arranged by this system. Your cursing is impolite behavior. 】
Jiang Yuan said righteously, “Then you curse back.”
【System 009: … 】
Jiang Yuan struggled for over ten minutes before finally resignedly getting off the sofa, putting on a coat, and preparing to go downstairs.
As she stood at the door changing her shoes, she felt that System 009 was treating her like she was crazy.
Going out in the middle of the night to find owned small animals and ask them: What is your wish?
Their owners would probably think she was mentally ill.
Moreover, at this hour, who would be walking their dogs outside?
Jiang Yuan sighed, wanting to curse System 009 again.
In the next moment, a certain thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Jiang Yuan, wearing only one shoe, immediately took out her phone from her pocket.
She remembered that many people had privately messaged her on Douyin earlier, asking about the situation of their furballs.
With so many people raising pets online now, she could just find two and ask them their wishes; there was no need to go out in the cold midnight wind, and she might not even find owned pets.
Jiang Yuan took off the other shoe and returned to the sofa.
She replied to the people who had sent her private messages, and when asked how to get the furball to communicate with her, she suddenly froze.
How to communicate?
Jiang Yuan called Fu Xiaoxiao, and the reply she received was: start a live stream.
Fu Xiaoxiao said, “This way, not only is it guaranteed, but I can also watch.”
Jiang Yuan replied, “Watching is the main point, isn’t it.”
Fu Xiaoxiao giggled, “Ever since I got Jin Jin, I’ve become very interested in pet channels. You should start broadcasting.”
However, Jiang Yuan was a bit hesitant because she wasn’t sure if doing so was appropriate.
After thinking for a while, she decided to call Si Heng to ask for his opinion.
