The next day, all three of them got up very early.
Ning Wan decided to first integrate the resources she already had.
She asked 057 what else it was used for.
057, hands on hips, said seriously: [Let me state upfront, I'm not that kind of frivolous cheat system.]
Those kinds of rewards—hundreds of thousands in cash for simply completing a few tasks; or ridiculous abilities like X-ray vision, mind reading, and turning lead into gold.
Don't they consider inflation and the laws of nature first?
057 said: [Moreover, in order to send you back, the host's points have all been wiped out, and they're even tens of thousands in debt.]
"In other words, you're no longer of any use," Ning Wan said bluntly.
057 got angry and then raged.
Okay, she's right.
Unable to bear being so disrespected, 057 forced an explanation: "However, I can make a support tool. Checking someone's location, locating them—these simple tasks, I can do for free, without charging you points."
Look how generous it is to them!
Upon hearing this, Ning Wan's eyes lit up: "Then can you help me find someone?"
057 patted his chest and confidently assured him: "No problem! No issue!"...
...
With 057's help, Ning Wan successfully found the neighbor who had been interviewed by the news.
Just as Ning Wan had feared, the neighbor lady showed great resistance to their appearance.
No matter how Ning Wan explained her request, it was to no avail.
"I don't know anything, I didn't say anything. Please, please stop bothering me!"
The other party sounded very impatient, but Ning Wan did not give up.
I learned that my neighbor, an older woman, often couldn't take care of her elderly relatives at home because she was at work.
Ning Wan then visited every few days with gifts.
It involved washing pots and pans, cooking, weeding, and removing insects.
Ning Yanshu also sweetly called her "Grandma" repeatedly, often making the old woman beam with joy.
Shen Xu took silent love to the extreme, often noticing the details of the elderly woman's discomfort and massaging her back.
After a while, even the neighbor lady started to feel a little embarrassed.
She took the initiative to find Ning Wan and persuaded her: "You should leave. I will not show up... After the last interview, several groups of people came to my house one after another, threatening and intimidating me... I am just an ordinary person who just wants to live a peaceful life."
Ning Wan looked apologetic: "I'm sorry to have bothered you... I just hope that the truth can be revealed and my husband can be cleared of all charges."
She sighed and then added, "But I understand your concerns... Don't worry, I won't bother you and Grandma anymore starting tomorrow."
After saying that, Ning Wan decisively left with the children.
057 stared, stunned: "You just left like that? Really gone?"
“What else can we do? Morally blackmail her?” Ning Wan said, “The eldest sister’s meaning was very clear. After the last interview, someone came to cause trouble for her and warned her. Maybe it was Su Lin, or maybe it was someone from the Shen family… Under these circumstances, it’s perfectly reasonable for her to want to protect herself and stay out of it.”
057: [So what have you been doing lately, being so diligent?]
"I just want to take a gamble." Ning Wan's eyes darkened slightly: "I'm betting that human nature isn't as dark as it seems, betting that there are still more good people than bad in the world..."
057 thought Ning Wan was ridiculously naive.
However, just a few days later, when her neighbor called looking for Ning Wan, 057 realized she had been laughing too loudly...
...
"I received a large package at home today. Inside was a massage chair... Did you buy that?"
“Yes.” Ning Wan replied with a smile, “Auntie’s shoulders, waist and legs often ache. The massage chair I bought has adjustable intensity and size, and it can accurately massage the pain points, which is very suitable for the elderly.”
After a moment of silence, the neighbor asked, "How much? I'll transfer it to you."
"No need," Ning Wan quickly said. "This is just a small token of our appreciation for our elders. You don't need to worry about it."
"My mom said, 'You even paid our electricity bill?'"
"Well. Because the property management happened to come by at the time, so..." Ning Wan paused, then added, "I also paid a few hundred yuan for the natural gas, so I just paid it off..."
The older sister next door sighed.
She understood what Ning Wan meant by doing all this: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but really..."
“It’s alright, I understand your concerns,” Ning Wan said proactively. “The children and I have indeed troubled you for a long time, and Auntie has been very kind to us. Those things were given voluntarily, so you don’t need to feel any burden.”
On the other end of the phone, the neighbor's sigh deepened: "My mom has been asking these past few days why Xiaoshu and Ashu haven't come to see this old woman. She also told me to help you out if I can, saying that you two, a widow and her orphan, have it tough..."
The older woman paused for a moment and asked, "...Are you free tomorrow? Come over and keep my mom company. I happen to have taken a day off and can do an interview with you."
Ning Wan's eyes suddenly brightened: "Are you really willing to help me?"
The older sister replied, "I just don't want the truth to be maliciously distorted by some ill-intentioned people."
She had seen everything Ning Wan had done over the past few days.
Perhaps it was out of compassion as a woman, or perhaps it was because she saw how pitiful the two children were.
But no matter what, she could no longer stand idly by...
