When An Ning was picked up by Chu Lan, it was already past 2 PM. To prevent herself from being photographed again, An Ning wisely put on a mask this time. Although it might not be very effective, it didn't matter; at least she tried.
She only found out after leaving the police station that she had once again become a trending topic in such a short time, and this time the trending topic was even more popular than before. Her name is still trending on the hot search list.
An Ning was shocked upon hearing the news, exclaiming, "What? Finally, a positive trending topic about me?"
As she said this, she hurriedly clicked into her Weibo account. Having learned from her previous experience, she no longer logged into her main Weibo account on her phone, but instead logged into an unknown secondary account.
When she clicked into Weibo, she realized just how prominently her name was trending.
How could those four large, bold, red characters for "mass brawl" possibly be associated with a positive trending topic?
The person who chose this trending topic has terrible naming skills. Why call it "Anning Group Fight"? It would be much better to just call it "Anning Fights Eight to Save High School Girls," which would be more eye-catching and positive.
I just regret that I wasn't the one who created the entry.
An Ning only glanced at the topic square and found that the most discussed topic was "What will happen to An Ning?"
What's this called? Nobody wants to know what's good, but a ton of people are begging to know what's embarrassing.
However, many people also commented that she dared to confront those three burly men all by herself.
There was no way around it; criminals attract criminals. Her first reaction upon seeing those people wasn't to punish them, but rather that she had encountered someone like herself.
If Anning hadn't been driven by reason, she would have felt like she was about to be recognized as a relative on the street.
After a brief three-second pause for thought, Anning made a decision.
After making up her mind, she logged out of her alternate account and then logged into her main Weibo account. As she expected, her phone still froze, and Anning estimated that it would probably be even more stuck than it was that morning.
Which respectable family gets three trending topics in one day?
Is it already the start of the year?
While An Ning was waiting for her phone to recover, Chu Lan, who had rushed over to rescue her, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? There were three of those big, strong men, how dare you go up there?"
An Ning didn't want to give Chu Lan a perfunctory answer. After careful consideration, she replied, "I'm afraid those three girls will fall victim to thieves."
"..." Chu Lan remained silent for a long time after hearing her answer. "Don't you know how to call the police?"
An Ning offered a plausible excuse: "The police take time to respond to a call. What if they're too late?"
"But you can't just rush in without any backup plan."
An Ning found it strange and opened the passenger door for Chu Lan. "Why would you think that? Those girls would definitely call the police for me after they left."
A casual, gentle smile graced her face.
"What if they don't call the police?"
Chu Lan stood in front of the open passenger door, staring intently at An Ning.
But the other person didn't even look at her, turning around and walking towards the driver's seat. Only after Chu Lan heard the driver's side door open did she hear An Ning's response, "Didn't we call the police?"
After saying that, she bent down and got into the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, and said, "Sister Lan, get in the car."
An Ning's attitude was too obvious. Chu Lan stood there, closed his eyes, and didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
"Didn't I tell you that there's a variety show that wants you to be a regular cast member? Maybe it's because you're trending on social media three times a day, that's why you just messaged me again."
An Ning, with one hand on the steering wheel, replied without turning her head after hearing Chu Lan's words, "Tell him when filming starts, I'm ready to go anytime."
"Huh?" An Ning was so straightforward that Chu Lan was momentarily stunned. "Aren't you going to ask anything else?"
An Ning sneered and tossed her still-frozen phone to Chu Lan, "Do you think I have a choice?"
An Ning tossed the phone, which had a "Get Rich This Year" phone case on it, next to Chu Lan's legs. Chu Lan was curious about what An Ning wanted her to see, so she picked up the phone and took a closer look.
She understood immediately upon seeing it.
She accidentally touched the screen, but Anning's phone didn't respond at all.
The messages popping up on the screen didn't stop at all; in other words, the phone was frozen.
Moreover, An Ning hasn't touched the phone since just now, which means this broken phone has been stuck for several minutes.
Chu Lan was a little embarrassed. She scratched the back of her head and said, "I... how about I pay for you to get a new one? I don't need anything too expensive. I can still afford three or four thousand right now."
Hearing Chu Lan's last words, An Ning felt like crying.
Because she couldn't even come up with three or four thousand, let alone three or four hundred.
Yes, she couldn't even come up with three or four hundred.
Before lunch, she checked her balance. Her WeChat account had the most at 98.82, followed by her bank card with 68.36. She also checked her Alipay account, finding 28.8. Not to be outdone, Anning then opened her QQ account and was surprised to find ten yuan there as well. She immediately transferred the money to her bank card and bought herself a bowl of egg noodles.
Forget about changing her phone, it's hard to say whether she'll even have the money to pay rent on the 1st. If she can't even afford to live in the slums, she'll have to live on the streets.
Even so, she still refused Chu Lan's offer, saying, "No need, I know how to make money."
Once they arrived at the criminal hideout she had rented, Anning's phone finally came back to life after freezing. In the car, she had also made arrangements with Chu Lan so that he could just call her over when the show started recording.
With that, Anning's day trip came to an end, and she embarked on her journey to her small, run-down rental apartment.
Unfortunately, Anning's trip did not go smoothly, because she ran into a resident of the same community who had just returned from outside.
The strong smell of smoke made her frown. Not only that, the resident was also carrying an opened bottle of cheap red wine. The smell of the cheap wine mixed with the smell of cheap smoke, which was quite irritating.
An Ning didn't want to provoke this kind of person, so she pulled her hood up and walked forward with her head down.
But sometimes, it's useless for her to simply not want to provoke others; people who don't know their place will always run right into your face.
"Why are you walking so fast? Are you scared of me? You're living in Fengchao now, what are you pretending for? Everyone in Jinghai knows what Fengchao is. Just open any door, and you'll find people who've been to jail."
