Zhao Jie was so excited that he held Qiao Ran's hand and said, "Wait! Don't open it yet. Let's wait for the captain to come..."

Sun Kai slapped Zhao Jie's hand away: "Just talk, don't touch the girl."

"When the captain comes, the box will contain whatever it is. It's not like manure will turn into gold just because the captain is handsome."

Zhao Jie couldn't understand it. Qiao Ran was a pretty girl who used to speak very quietly, but now she spoke so much after getting to know her. This didn't match the character he had imagined!

Qiao Ran picked up one of the boxes and shook it next to his ear. The box was not heavy, and there was a hollow rumbling sound coming from inside, like some cards or something.

After listening to one box, Qiao Ran picked up another one.

This box is obviously much heavier, and the sound inside is also muffled.

Qiao Ran opened the small box first.

When the box was opened, Zhao Jie and the others couldn't help but take a look inside out of curiosity.

"Fuck! Who the hell is such a psychopath!" Zhao Jie couldn't help but swear after seeing what was inside.

Inside were some printed photos of Qiao Ran, which should be screenshots of Qiao Ran’s previous live broadcasts.

The word "death" was written in red ink in different sizes on the photo, and a big cross was also drawn on Qiao Ran's face in the photo.

Along with the photos, there was a doll pendant in the box with its head twisted off in half, with only a bit of plastic left hanging on.

"Don't look at it anymore. Wait for the manager to come back and then call the police." Sun Kai closed the box. "Don't open the other one either. I don't think it's anything good."

There was no trace of fear on Qiao Ran's face, and he even felt that this childish thing was a little ridiculous.

However, Ye Xiaofan, who was young and had never seen such a scene, was quite frightened.

"It's okay. I guess there's another box of this kind of prank stuff." Qiao Ran said as he opened another box.

At the moment when the box was about to be opened, Qiao Ran had a bad feeling.

A hint of decayed and bloody smell spread out from the gap in the box...

Qiao Ran opened the box as quickly as possible, took a look, and then closed it quickly.

Then, Sun Kai and the others saw Qiao Ran's hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white, his nails almost sinking into the flesh of his palms, as if he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

"What is this..." Zhao Jie couldn't help it, he moved the box and took a peek inside.

It was this one glance that made him run straight to the bathroom.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Kai and Ye Xiaofan, who had not yet reacted, heard Zhao Jie's retching sounds.

"What... is this?" Sun Kai realized that the matter might be serious.

Qiao Ran pressed the box: "Don't look at it, you won't be able to bear it, I'll go deal with it."

The box contained a cat that had died in a horrific way. Although the blood had dried up, one could still tell what kind of inhumane treatment this innocent life had experienced.

And all this was done just to scare her and disgust her...

Qiao Ran admitted that she was disgusted.

It’s not because of the cat that died tragically, but because of the person hiding in the dark.

"But you may need to provide these things to the police later."

"Isn't there still one box?"

Qiao Ran held the box in her arms. Her only thought now was that Pei Yan must not see this.

Pei Yan likes cats so much...

Sun Kai couldn't stop Qiao Ran, so Qiao Ran just walked out in silence.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Pei Yan.

Qiao Ran lost his balance and took two steps back, about to fall.

Fortunately, Pei Yan was quick-witted and grabbed Qiao Ran's waist to steady him.

"What are you doing so recklessly?" Pei Yan immediately noticed the box in Qiao Ran's hand. "What are you holding in your arms?"

Ye Xiaofan spoke quickly and told Qiao Ran what had just happened before him, then pointed at the box in Qiao Ran's arms.

"I don't know what's in it, but Zhao went to the bathroom and vomited after reading it."

Zhao Jie, who had been resting in the bathroom for a while, came back dragging his fat body. When he saw Pei Yan, he immediately howled as if he had seen a relative.

"team leader!"

"So what's in here? How are you going to deal with it by yourself?" Pei Yan grabbed Qiao Ran's hand but didn't let go.

"It's nothing, just a dead cat. I'll find a place to bury it." Qiao Ran pressed the opening of the box, not intending to show it to Pei Yan.

"Fuck! Is that just a dead cat? It's clearly a cat that was tortured to death!" Zhao Jie didn't know if it was because he retched too hard just now, but now his face looked pale and a little weak.

"Put it back and don't deal with it yet." Pei Yan didn't say anything extra. While letting go of Qiao Ran, he took out his cell phone and called the police.

After receiving Pei Yan’s report, the police arrived at the scene quickly, and the property management of the villa area also came with them.

The police checked the two boxes and couldn't help frowning.

Then, they asked some routine questions, such as: When did you receive the package? Have you offended anyone recently? Has anyone seen any suspicious people nearby?

After making all the records, they went to the property management to check the surveillance footage accompanied by Pei Yan.

The surveillance footage showed that the two express deliveries were delivered by the same person, but judging from his figure, he was not the courier they were familiar with.

In the picture, the man is wearing the clothes of a courier boy. He is wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask in the hot weather. He is armed very tightly and it is obvious that he is well prepared.

Before delivering the package, he looked around to make sure there was no one around before putting it down.

"This is definitely not one of our deliverymen," the property manager assured. "We don't have anyone this small here. Look, his clothes don't fit him either. They're clearly a size too big."

Based on years of experience in handling cases, the police initially determined that the delivery person of these two express deliveries should be a girl.

But the courier's work clothes brought by an ordinary girl?

The two police officers regarded this as a suspicious point and recorded it in their notebooks.

"We are taking these two boxes away. If there are any further results from the investigation, we will notify you. Please keep your phone open during this time."

Finally, the two express boxes were taken away by the police.

When the police left the base, they met Jiang Wenzhou and Zhang Qian who had returned.

Jiang Wenzhou and Zhang Qian looked at each other and quickened their pace.

"Why are the police here?" Jiang Wenzhou asked as soon as he entered the door without even having time to change his shoes.

"Yeah, I think they took some things with them. What happened while we were away?"

Zhao Jie is still frightened when he talks about it, so he can only ask Sun Kai to recount what happened.

"Cao..." Jiang Wenzhou looked at Qiao Ran with some distress, "Qiao Ran, are you okay? Are you not scared?"

Zhao Jie covered his chest and said, "Manager, please look carefully. I'm the one who's scared, okay?"

"How can you be so useless? The girl is sitting here and not saying anything. How can you be so shameless?" Zhang Qian was extremely disgusted with Zhao Jie's affectation.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to bother you all." Qiao Ran replied calmly, not looking frightened at all.

This made everyone feel a little relieved.

——

Maybe because he saw such disgusting things, Zhao Jie ate one bowl less of rice today and felt completely listless.

Now, it was Qiao Ran's turn to worry about him: "Brother Zhao looks like this... is he really okay?"

"He may not be able to digest it for the time being. Let the captain keep an eye on him during training to distract him so that he doesn't have time to think about these things," said Sun Kai.

"But, Xiao Ran, are you really not afraid at all?" Although Sun Kai didn't see it, looking at Zhao Jie's expression, Qiao Ran shouldn't be so calm.

Qiao Ran filled his thermos with water and prepared to take it to training later: "Don't be afraid."

These were the leftovers from the debt collectors. Qiao Ran had seen them two years ago and had long been numb to these things.

"You are so awesome." Sun Kai couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration.

I don’t know if it’s because of this incident that everyone was extra serious in training today.

During the process, apart from necessary communication, no one joked or talked nonsense.

Zhao Jie, who usually talks non-stop, was completely silent today.

In the end, even when Zhang Qian said that they could take a break, everyone continued to practice and showed no intention of stopping.

"I'm telling you guys, this isn't necessary," Zhang Qian lectured. "Training is a long-term process, not something you can just jump into all at once! You know what goes to extremes, and then you reverse it... Don't let your skills improve, or else you'll end up with a bunch of injuries before the big game!"

After Zhang Qian finished speaking, no one showed any intention of moving.

"Hey, my words as a coach are useless right now." Zhang Qian kicked Pei Yan, who was standing nearby. "You're their captain, go talk to them."

Pei Yan's fingers moved rapidly, unleashing his skills without even raising his eyelids. "From today on, everyone will have an extra hour of training in the afternoon and evening."

"Hey!" Zhang Qian was so angry that he put his hands on his hips. "I asked you to help me talk to them, not to lead the charge against me."

Pei Yan took the opportunity to return to the city to recover, put down his phone and looked at Zhang Qian: "They are in high spirits now. Do you think they will listen to what you say? It's better to ease than to block. Besides, it's only an extra hour of training. It won't have much impact."

——

An hour later, Ye Xiaofan was the first to be defeated.

He threw his hands away, slumped over the table, and closed his eyes: "I can't do it anymore. I feel like my eyes are going blind. That's all for today."

The second person to follow was Zhao Jie: "Fatty, I can't take it anymore. I didn't eat much tonight. Now I'm not only tired, but also hungry. It's a double torture!"

In the end, only Qiao Ran was left, still practicing his movements and combos over and over again.

"Okay, that's enough for today. You don't need to practice anymore." Pei Yan stopped Qiao Ran.

"Look at you guys, your hair has suddenly become so curly. I'm already old, but I've been dragging it out for an hour." Zhang Qian glanced at the time and felt that a lot of hair was about to say goodbye to him again.

"Everyone is holding their breath..." Sun Kai rubbed his sore hands, "It would be nice if we could order some fried chicken at this time."

Not to mention that Zhao Jie was hungry, he was also a little hungry.

"Forget it... I'd give you some, but would you dare eat it?" Zhang Qian was still terrified when he thought of what happened today. "Until the person is caught, everyone should just be patient. Life and future are more important than food."

Qiao Ran felt that these things were caused by her and felt a little guilty.
