CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: TANGTANG, DID YOU PICK UP SOMEONE AGAIN?

Ye Tong quickly glanced around, the extras outside were either chatting or lining up, as if nothing had happened, their expressions even more normal than hers, as if nothing had just occurred.

What on earth is going on?

"Ye Tong, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah... um... what did you just say? I was distracted for a moment..."

...

A few minutes later, Ye Tong jogged to catch up with Ji Ning, suspiciously eyeing her, and whispered, "Sister Ning, how did you bluff Sister Qing away?"

Ji Ning stopped, her expression somewhat profound.

"Sister Ning, what’s up?"

"Do I look like a man?"

Ye Tong was taken aback, then chuckled, "Not really. If Sister Ning grew her hair long, you’d definitely look very feminine."

"So I do look like one."

"Hehehe... very handsome!"

Ji Ning gave a soft "hmm," and stepped forward.

Ye Tong pursed her lips and giggled.

After a while, Ye Tong realized she was sidetracked by Ji Ning and looked towards her.

What method did Sister Ning use to settle the matter?

The more she couldn’t figure it out, the more Ye Tong admired Ji Ning.

She even specifically brought her to the supermarket to snatch discounted ribs.

With Ji Ning, the speed king, they returned fully loaded.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the district, they saw a familiar figure directing the security to carry someone back.

Is Bai Xiaotang picking up people again?

The two of them walked over quickly, and when Bai Xiaotang saw them, she immediately waved.

"Sister Ning, Sister Xiao Tong, come help quickly."

Ye Tong, hearing the call, ran over first, "Tangtang, you picked up someone again?"

Bai Xiaotang glanced at the woman on the security’s back, full of sympathy, "She’s so pitiful, suddenly collapsed by the roadside, and no one helped her."

"Didn’t you take her to the hospital?" Ye Tong hurried to the security’s side, reaching out to check the woman’s breathing on his back.

Bai Xiaotang shook her head, "She said her period came, her stomach hurts, dizzy, needs to drink some hot water..."

"This person has internal injuries, best to send her to the hospital immediately." Ji Ning said this casually as she walked over, glancing at the frail woman on the security’s back, interrupting Bai Xiaotang.

Bai Xiaotang paused, her pretty doll face showing a hint of tension.

Ye Tong felt the same way, originally thinking Miss Bai was being kind-hearted, picking up yet another person from who knows where.

Unexpectedly, she was actually injured.

"Lay her flat on the ground and call an emergency." Ye Tong immediately instructed.

The security, upon hearing this, dared not carry her any longer, hurriedly laying her carefully on the ground.

Internal injuries are no small matter, and should not be moved lightly.

Carrying her earlier, would that worsen her internal injuries?

The security thought about this, beads of sweat forming on his forehead out of nervousness.

He quickly called the hospital, continuously urging the ambulance, even more concerned than Bai Xiaotang.

In less than 10 minutes, the ambulance arrived, and only then did the security breathe a sigh of relief, hastily helping to carry the person onto the ambulance.

After the car drove away, he wiped the sweat off his forehead, whispering in amazement, "Dear mother, that was really scary."

Ji Ning’s lips slightly curled upwards.

She glanced at Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong, and said indifferently, "Let’s go."

***

Once the ambulance had driven a distance from the district, the frail woman on the stretcher suddenly sat up, ripped off the oxygen mask, and before the medical staff could react, she opened the ambulance side door and jumped out.

The male doctor sitting by the door was almost frightened out of the car.

"Hey, Huang Ying—"

But that figure agilely dodged the flowing vehicles, leaping onto the sidewalk nearby.

Huang Ying put on a baseball cap, slightly lowered her head, carefully avoiding all nearby surveillance cameras.

In that moment when she lowered her head, her facial features subtly changed, soon turning into a new face.

The mission failed.

Who on earth is that person beside Bai Xiaotang?

They could instantly identify her hidden injuries?

Was it a coincidence?

With a heavy expression, Huang Ying circled the streets a few times before returning to a certain district.

This was an old neighborhood, with infrastructure not as good as the high-end district opposite, but its geographical location was good, making even the old, small, and shabby apartments have expensive rent despite lacking an elevator.

Huang Ying climbed up six floors in one go, pulled out a key, unlocked the door, and went inside.

The house’s furnishings were relatively old, left by the landlord for tenants to use.

Huang Ying casually tossed the key onto the shoe cabinet by the door, walked straight to the fridge, took out a can of cold beer, tore open the seal, and drank from it.

After taking two big gulps, she went to the computer desk and tapped the keyboard twice.

She was using an old model computer from a few years back, not as convenient as a Smart Brain.

After the computer screensaver unlocked, a real-time surveillance video appeared, displaying the entrance of the Mingfu Garden District.

Huang Ying adjusted the telescope next to her, making the computer screen clearer.

She then switched the computer screen.

A simple login page appeared, displaying only four words: Hunter Alliance.

She quickly entered her account and password in the input box.

Entering a backstage-like operation page.

In the top right corner, a line of small characters read: H[No.5]Points: 10563976

Huang Ying opened the task list and found the alliance secretary, quickly typing a line of text:

[Increase the task difficulty coefficient to S-Class, commission increased by 10 times.]

After typing, she leaned back, resting her head on the chair back, drinking beer while opening the newly downloaded Star Entertainment Live app on her phone, watching the only streamer she followed, Bai Xiaotang.

Her account had no popularity, only 8 followers,

The works she posted were of daily life, but she was diligent, posting many short videos almost every day.

Until two weeks ago, when she suddenly stopped updating.

Huang Ying scrutinized through carefully, trying to remember all of Bai Xiaotang’s hobbies and interests.

"Ding——"

A prompt sound for the streamer going live suddenly rang out.

Huang Ying’s eyes brightened, and she quickly clicked into the live stream entry.

What greeted her was the sound of ribs going into the pot.

"Sizzle——"

With the spatula stirring, the white ribs were coated in a deep red layer, the oil splattering could almost be felt through the screen.

The camera was a bit far, and Bai Xiaotang’s commentary could be heard: "Sister Xiao Tong’s sweet and sour ribs smell delicious, just not as well-presented as those made by my family chef..."

"Haha... thank you. Get out, this is a forbidden area for a young lady like you!"

The camera was rudely pushed away by a hand.

With the camera jostling for a few moments, there was a "bang——" sound.

When the camera was raised again, the kitchen door was mercilessly closed.

The camera angle switched, revealing a delicate doll-like face.

Round eyes, long eyelashes, a small and upturned nose, lips curling to reveal two cute dimples.

Bai Xiaotang blinked her eyes, pouting cutely, "That pretty girl just now is my roommate number one, brought her home on the second day I moved to Anhe City."

The camera shifted again, facing the living room sofa.

"The pretty sister drinking on the sofa is my roommate number two. Sister Ning, I’m live streaming now, say hi to everyone..."

"Alright."

Huang Ying straightened up instantly, quickly tapping the phone screen with her thumb, the image freezing on the girl raising her drink, then saved into the album.

The girl only showed a side face, with beautiful eyes glancing at the screen, casually waving her hand at the camera, both perfunctory and nonchalant.

Huang Ying stared at the screenshot in the album for a long time, then opened the only profile in her friend list, a pitch black icon, and sent the screenshot over.

[Help me look into someone.]

Soon, a voice message came from the other side.

The voice was lively and teasing.

"Wow, there’s actually someone our rank five professional errand runner H can’t handle?"

[Cut the crap! Find out and it cancels your debt to me.]

"If you say so, then this deal is worth it. Give me five minutes!"

Two minutes later.

An image of a Hua Continent resident ID appeared on the Smart Brain screen.

"I thought it was some big shot, turns out, except for having the same name as a famous person, they’re just an ordinary person."

Name: Ji Ning

Gender: Female

Born: New Century Year 100, October 3

Address: No.165, Building 8, Unit 1601, Mingfu Garden, Anhe City

...

ID Date: New Century Year 120, October 3

Huang Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, crushing the beer can in her hand, tossing it backward, landing accurately in the distant trash can.

The birthday and ID dates are the same.

Hehe... interesting...

"Do me another favor."
