Zhang Xinyu's life has been very ordinary. She was born ordinary, grew up ordinary, entered school life ordinary, and finally stepped from her ordinary home into ordinary society. Along the way, she had brief friendships and love, but now, all that is left for her is her lonely self and a critical illness notice.
Because of her failure in the college entrance examination, Zhang Xinyu only got into an ordinary second-tier university. Her original idea of repeating a year of high school slowly dissipated after seeing her mother's frail body.
She thought, a second-tier university is fine too.
As long as she is willing to work hard.
In fact, a second-tier university degree is indeed acceptable, because she had the advantage of hard work. While almost all her peers graduated as fresh graduates with no work experience, she already had more than two years of work experience. And it was precisely because of this that she got a pretty good job.
The salary isn't high, but it's stable.
But this was not enough to cover her mother's high medical expenses.
She scrimped and saved every month, and the money she earned from extra work was almost enough to cover her mother's medical expenses.
She even has to think twice before buying an extra piece of clothing.
Not long ago, she received a substantial bonus because she secured a special grant from a major client.
The first thing she thought when she got the money was that her life might be a little better for a while, but this thought didn't last long because her money was stolen.
The one who stole it was her brother, who was very close to her late father.
Ten thousand yuan, not a single penny left.
"So, your dad's brother stole your bonus, and that's why you ran out crying?"
An Ning spoke calmly, but Zhang Xinyu still found it hard to accept and nodded after a long while.
To change the subject, she stammered, "If you want to go to the market over here, you need to go this way..."
An Ning followed behind her without making a sound.
The girl's slender body looked as if a strong wind could easily bend her over.
Do you know where your dad's brother lives?
Zhang Xinyu didn't think much of the question and just shook her head. "They're all very disorganized, living near Fengchao."
Anning remained silent, replying in her mind: Actually, I live there too.
When Zhang Xinyu reached a corner where there were no cameras, she suddenly found herself unable to move forward.
She suddenly realized that the girl who had asked her to lead the way hadn't spoken for a long time.
Moreover, this road is so remote, how could she dare to walk with a stranger?
Cold sweat slowly crept up her back. Anning stood a meter behind her, watching her silently without saying a word.
When Zhang Xinyu turned her head, this was the scene she saw: the girl was standing against the light, her features were shrouded in darkness and not clearly visible, but she could clearly feel the cold gaze emanating from the girl.
"I'm sorry, you'll have to make do for a bit."
This was the last sentence Zhang Xinyu heard before she fell into a coma.
When she woke up, she found herself bound hand and foot, surrounded by darkness, while the girl who had asked her to lead the way was sitting in front of her, casually playing on her phone.
Yes, the kidnapper is currently fiddling with his phone.
She was tied up, but apart from being unable to move her hands, everything else was fine.
Zhang Xinyu looked at the girl in front of her and gave a bitter smile. "What's the point of kidnapping me? I'm the breadwinner of my family. No one can ransom me. You've chosen the wrong person..."
Her tone was extremely calm, as if she felt no panic whatsoever.
The girl sitting in front of her, playing on her phone, didn't care at all, not even lifting her eyelids. "I'm not a kidnapper."
His tone was casual and nonchalant, as if he didn't see anything wrong with it.
Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Xinyu's heart clenched, and she almost trembled as she asked, "Then... what do you want to do?"
An Ning turned off her phone and stood in the darkness, saying each word clearly, "I am a human trafficker."
Human traffickers...
The shock of those three words entering Zhang Xinyu's ears was indescribable; she felt as if she had instantly fallen into an ice cave, chilled to the bone.
"Don't be afraid, I've called the police."
The person on the other side said again.
Zhang Xinyu's emotional breakdown was abruptly halted, her eyes filled with confusion, "What did you say?"
An Ning opened her phone again and texted the person on the other end, casually repeating what she had just said, "Oh, I mean, I called the police for you, but it's a bit far from the police station, so it will take some time for the police to get here."
Looking at the reply from the other person, An Ning raised her eyelids slightly.
"But the people who are coming to pick you up should arrive a little earlier than the police. I told them to drive fast, and I hope they can be quick, but please don't be faster than those people."
Zhang Xinyu couldn't understand what An Ning was saying at all, but she didn't need to, because An Ning had already arranged everything.
If the police arrive first, she can simply leave with her people.
Just an hour ago, An Ning successfully knocked Zhang Xinyu unconscious with a single palm strike. The technique was learned from the system, and she didn't expect to learn it so well that she could use it immediately after learning it.
After knocking Zhang Xinyu unconscious, An Ning originally intended to kidnap her and take her to a Fengchao locker, but just as she made up her mind, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, a contact she'd never seen before popped up on her phone. Almost the instant she knocked the person unconscious, the other person called back, "Hey, don't leave the new stuff in the usual spot this time. I'll send you the new location via WeChat, and we'll come pick it up later."
Although the person didn't say it explicitly, she almost instinctively understood what he meant.
The "new goods" likely refers to the person in Anning's possession.
It was at this moment that An Ning truly understood what a criminal system was.
The Crime System, as the name suggests, teaches you how to properly be a perfect criminal.
This time, she successfully completed the upgrade task of a human trafficker and directly obtained what a real human trafficker should have—a supplier.
In other words, she doesn't need to worry about what to do with the person after kidnapping them; she just needs to place the person in the designated location and wait for the money to arrive.
If An Ning's moral standards had been any lower, she might have actually done it.
However, she still had a tiny bit of a bottom line, and after receiving this call, her first instinct was to call the police.
This good habit of being a good citizen was deeply ingrained in her heart.
“I’ve already said I’m a good citizen of China, but Lin Hang still doesn’t believe me.”
After briefly describing the situation using Zhang Xinyu's phone and sending it to the Jinghai Public Security Bureau, An Ning immediately pulled out the SIM card and threw it into the trash can.
Upon receiving this information, the Jinghai Public Security Bureau dispatched relevant personnel almost immediately, classifying it as an urgent mission highlighted in red and bold.
As for the text messages they received?

In Moon Bay, Lin'an District, Jinghai City, human traffickers were having a party.
