Chapter 12 I Owe You a Favor

Nonsense.

The monster thought to himself, looking at the woman lying with utter disdain. Admittedly, he was indeed pleased by her words, but he knew very well what he was doing and would never be deceived by her.

Between monsters and humans, only foolish humans will be deceived.

The only reason He listened patiently to her was because He found her black, pearl-like eyes quite pleasing to the eye; that was all.

The monster isn't talking... Fine.

Ling Qiu looked at the things binding her; they were black, flowing like water, and had a very subtle feel to them.

Ling Qiu pointed down and said, "Um... it's late, I still have to work."

I really don't dare to think about it too much.

However, after Ling Qiu finished speaking, she was put down. After hesitating for a second, Ling Qiu decided not to take a bath, otherwise, the implication would be too strong.

She got into bed without even taking off her clothes, pretended to be very busy and browsed social forums for a while. Then she opened her Hilink account, and the first thing that popped up was a message from Ma De.

"Is there any progress on my wife's whereabouts?"

Ling Qiu replied, "Soon."

At the same time, she used an emulator to log directly into Ma De's social media account. The password was easy to guess: his name, his employee number, and his birth year.

Previously, Ling Qiu thought this was probably an ordinary missing person case, so she started her investigation by focusing on Sally. However, the surveillance footage yielded nothing. After learning that Sally had actually been bought by Ma De, Ling Qiu began to suspect Ma De himself.

Could it be that he abused Sally, which led to Sally's escape?

This account looks too normal, or rather, too unprivate. Although there are personal friends on it, Ling Qiu found that the conversations inside were very serious, somewhat like AI-generated chat logs. As a hacker, Ling Qiu has a high sensitivity to this kind of thing.

...So the second Hilink account must have been bought by Mad from someone else, because in Mante City, each person can only have one Hilink account.

So Ling Qiu immediately started checking Ma De's financial records. The price of a Hilink account is generally within ten thousand Mandarin dollars. Ling Qiu filtered the amount and private transactions, thus skipping many of Ma De's spending records.

She browsed a few pages and then precisely found a strange transaction worth 6,888 Man dollars in the transaction list. Her intuition led her to click on the transaction record and investigate. She found that the transaction information was for the delivery of virtual items, and she found out the name of the person being traded to.

Hank.

Ling Qiu was extremely surprised when she saw the name. In just a few days, this was the third time she had come across the name.

It seems that Ma De bought his account from a gang.

That would be difficult to investigate. The gang must have many Hilink accounts, but who owns them is unknown.

The only way to get information about Hank right now is through Ron.

Um……

Ling Qiu subconsciously looked up in the direction of Anbote, but there was nothing there; he had vanished again…

Ling Qiu was a little confused. Why did she still feel like she was being watched even though they had all disappeared?

“…Um, Anbot?” Ling Qiu tried calling out, sitting on the bed and leaning out to look. She glanced at the security camera outside, but there was nothing there.

Where did it run off to again? Or is it just hiding somewhere and hasn't shown up yet?

Ling Qiu gave up the search; work was more important. She opened Ron's chat window.

At this moment, Ling Qiu was unaware that if she could turn around and look, she would see that the huge monster was pressed against the entire wall behind her, motionless, staring down at her.

...

Ling Qiu rubbed her hands together and sent a message to Ron: "Hey, are you there? There's something I want to ask you."

She was a little worried that Ron was angry with her and wouldn't reply, which would cut off her only avenue for reconciliation.

But Ron replied quickly: "What is it?"

Ling Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Do you have Hank's HiLink account?"

This time, the reply wasn't instant. Ling Qiu watched as Ron typed for a while before sending her a photo. The photo showed a man wearing a tank top, a bald, muscular man with a large build.

“This is what he looks like,” Ron said.

Ling Qiu took a second to react before immediately explaining, "I don't mean I'm interested in him, but I want to look something up. I would be very grateful if you could help me."

“If you’re grateful, will you continue dating me?” Ron said.

Ling Qiu was speechless. She wasn't dating Ron, and that was for Ron's sake...

Just as she was considering how to say it, Ron sent her a string of English letters and numbers, which was clearly Hank's account number!

Ling Qiu was overjoyed: "Thank you! Thank you! I owe you a favor!"

She immediately began investigating Hank's social circle. Most of the gangs in Mant City were backed by companies, and as the leader, Hank's social circle was naturally very high-class, and it was clear that he had many followers.

Ron, who is the mortal enemy of such people, was actually introduced to Lulu by Lululan as a potential partner for this free person. This shows how much effort Lululan went through to find Ron for her...

Alas, her Lululan...

Ling Qiu pursed her lips. She found that Hank's password was not difficult to find. He had directly sent the password to one of his underlings. Ling Qiu directly logged in with the emulator, linked it to Ma De's account, found the transaction record, and then successfully locked the private account that Ma De was using.

Although Ling Qiu initially tried to create the illusion of working in order to escape the monster, she unknowingly ended up reading through Ma De's private account after logging in.

Just like his own account, he still has many groups.

What's different is that the names of these groups are all very strange.

For example, a threesome, or Lolita nudity, or a wedding in a dream...

Ling Qiu suddenly had a bad feeling. She clicked on the first group and found that it was full of NTR enthusiasts. Some people shared private photos of their wives and even videos. Ling Qiu frowned. However, Ma De never spoke in this group.

Then, she opened the second group and found that the people in this group spoke very evasively, using strange language that seemed normal.

"My new doll arrived, I'm so happy!" The caption reads: "The doll is dressed very sexily and revealingly, and importantly, some of its internal organs are incredibly realistic and detailed..."

"Wow, what a great outfit! Please share!" someone replied below, and then received a compressed video file.

Following a gut feeling, Ling Qiu clicked on it, only to find that it required decryption, and it was a level two password. Level two passwords are difficult for ordinary people to crack, but they were easy for Ling Qiu.

She clicked on it easily, and what she saw next left her speechless.

What this person shared wasn't a doll, but a real little girl.

Ling Qiu suddenly remembered Sally's outfit before she disappeared: a white dress and curly hair. Wasn't that just like a doll?

Ma De's wife, who is about ten years younger than him...

Wait, is Sally really Mad's wife?
