Jiang Yu stiffly turned his head and saw his neighbor, who had been to the police station three times at a young age.
He seemed a little lost and hesitantly asked the other person, "Wh...what's wrong?"
The conversation flowed so naturally that it seemed as if they had completely forgotten they were on the phone. Seeing that Jiang Yu himself didn't care, An Ning didn't care either, and gave him a friendly smile, "Was that your dad calling you?"
Jiang Yu nodded. "Yes... he wants me to go home..."
"Then why don't you go back?" An Ning tried to lower her voice so that the other person wouldn't think she was yelling.
But she was wrong. She couldn't suppress it at all. Jiang Yu was almost deafened by her roar, as was Jiang Yu's father, who was almost deaf. Even so, he still echoed An Ning's words, "Yes, yes, why didn't you come back? Did I mistreat you in some way? It's your mother who should reflect on this. She's regretting it so much now, and she's crying right here... Oh dear!"
He was speaking when a cry of pain suddenly rang out, and it was easy to guess who had done it.
Jiang Yu's biological mother, sitting to the side with tears in her eyes.
“You’re our only child, Xiaoyu. Don’t be angry with us anymore. Come back obediently, okay? Your mother is willing to apologize to you… Do you want to talk to your mother?”
The man's voice trailed off as he spoke, and Jiang Yu, realizing the possibility of his voice becoming softer, shouted, "No need!"
Before he could finish speaking, he slammed down the phone.
He tossed his secondhand phone, which he had bought for a few hundred yuan, onto the bed with great force. Anning reasonably guessed that he wanted to throw it on the floor but considered that the phone would definitely break, so he compromised and threw it onto the bed with the sheets on.
"How did you get in here?" Jiang Yu wasn't afraid of An Ning at all. Even when An Ning held a knife to his neck, he simply raised his hand and slapped An Ning's wrist away.
He slumped down on the edge of the bed, head down, not looking at anything.
An Ning looked down at him for a long time before finally speaking, "You're an only child?"
The focus is strange.
Jiang Yu hummed in response, seemingly confused.
"Then you should go back soon. Fengchao is not a good place. Oh, by the way, give me your contact information before you go back. Let's exchange contact information so we can look after each other if anything happens in the future."
As she spoke, An Ning reached for her phone and tapped it repeatedly. "What's your phone number?"
"151...0633, wait, why do you want my phone number?"
Jiang Yu's question went unanswered, but his phone received a call.
If a call comes from an unknown number, the owner of the phone is very likely the person in front of you.
Jiang Yu, holding his phone, was completely bewildered. "What are you doing?"
"Let's exchange contact information... Remember to let me know in advance if you change your phone number, so I can reach you." An Ning quickly added the words "183 Only son with billions in assets to inherit" to the number belonging to Jiang Yu.
After finishing these things, she looked up at Jiang Yu and asked, "So when are you going back? Wouldn't it be better to go back and be your rich young master?"
Her eyes were sparkling, and Jiang Yu was momentarily stunned when he saw her clearly.
What's up with this person?
“I really’m not going back,” he repeated.
"If you don't go back, your family fortune will be looted by others. If you don't go back to inherit your family's wealth, will you just rot away here for the rest of your life?"
"Do you think this is a good place? What normal person would want to stay here? As a person of normal intelligence and with all four limbs intact, living in a place like this, don't you feel ashamed?"
An Ning's questions were like sharp swords, each one successfully piercing Jiang Yu's most vulnerable spot, causing him to be momentarily speechless with pain.
He... didn't want it to be like this either.
After a long while, Jiang Yu, who had just come to his senses, asked the first question that came to mind after regaining his composure. It was about An Ning, "And what about you... Don't you think you're wasting your life like this? A normal person wouldn't live in a place like this, so why are you here?"
Anning answered without any hesitation, "Because I'm mentally ill."
"..."
-
Anning didn't know if her advice last night had worked, but she knew she was not quite lucid.
Before eight o'clock in the morning, her phone rang at least eight or ten times, and it was not just one person calling.
An Ning squinted at her phone screen, which was covered in static, and saw two missed calls from people.
One is Chu Lan.
The other one is an unfamiliar number, and a rough guess... it's very likely Lin Hang's call.
Because she had to give a statement.
An Ning decisively called Chu Lan back.
The phone rang for less than two seconds before it was answered. The next second, Chu Lan's voice came through the receiver, "You're still sleeping while Director Guo's movie is being filmed today?!"
No, she's awake now.
Anning really wanted to say that, but she didn't dare. "I've already washed up and will be coming downstairs right away!"
After washing up in five minutes, An Ning ran downstairs. At this moment, she really wanted to use her thief skills to jump directly from the fourth floor, but for Chu Lan's heart, she decided not to do so.
She jumped from the fourth floor unharmed... She might be suspected of being an alien, and it would be a huge loss if she were sent to a research institute.
When An Ning arrived on the first floor, she quickly jumped into the back seat and hurriedly said, "Sister Lan, come on, come on, I'm here."
Chu Lan glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his eyes icy. "The opening ceremony is at 8:30. How are you going to explain being late?"
"Just tell them I went to kill someone last night."
An Ning's mouth worked faster than her brain; she spoke almost instinctively.
After three seconds, realizing she had misspoke, she awkwardly tried to cover it up, "What I meant was... I went to play Werewolf last night... I was the werewolf all night."
The cold sweat on his back hadn't yet dried, and Chu Lan didn't know how to speak. After moving his lips for a while, he finally managed to utter a single word, "...Mm."
Seeing that the other party believed her story, An Ning finally felt relieved and took out her phone to watch videos. However, as soon as she opened the short video app, the system recommended a video about her.
The video was posted by the official account of "Survival Countdown".
It contains her recording from yesterday.
The opening screen was a direct hit; it was the scene of her looking up as Jiang Yu opened the door to the bedroom on the third floor. Her face was a standard, manic, murderous smile revealing eight teeth, and she let out a laughing "bang," like a murderous maniac who had walked out of hell.
At that very moment, a barrage of comments began to appear at the top of the video. An Ning lifted her eyelids to take a look and almost burst out laughing.
"Officer, I need to call the police! This person scared me to death even through the screen!"
