An Ning stayed in her house in Jingming Chenyuan for two days, during which time Lin Hang called her to the police station to claim the stolen items that belonged to the An family.
Lin Hang called An Ning because the An family had indeed reported a theft, but the police had been tracking them for a long time without finding a suitable suspect, which led to these cases being shelved.
Now that the items have finally been found, he can no longer contact the person who reported the incident. He had heard that Anning had mentioned that the items belonged to her family, so he called Anning.
Have Anning contact someone from the An family to claim the lost items.
An Ning decisively called her own brother.
When Anze received the call from his younger sister, he was sunbathing on the beach. After hearing Anning say that the missing person case had been solved and that he needed to go and claim the lost items, Anze thought for a moment and then agreed.
Anze originally thought Anning would be there, but Anning didn't show up at all. She only notified him to come, and Anning herself was lying on the sofa playing on her phone.
After he contacted Su Lan to retrieve the items, he drove directly to Anning.
"Huh? What are you doing here? What? Delivering something? Then wait at the door for a bit... I'll open the door right away."
An Ning answered An Ze's call, then shuffled to the door in her hastily bought frog-head slippers.
When the bronze metal door was opened, the first thing that caught the eye was not Anze's large face, but a beautiful and exquisite gift box.
The gift box was wrapped with layers of ribbons, which were tied tightly to the box and then tied with a double bow at the top.
At that moment, the gift box was being held up in front of her by a pair of hands.
An Ning looked at the small print on the gift box and softly read, "I am willing to dedicate my body and soul, I only ask that you not abandon me?"
"Did you buy the wrong gift box?" An Ning asked innocently, meeting An Ze's bewildered gaze.
She believed the gift was a present, but this box... she must have just grabbed it without thinking.
Anze took a full three seconds to react. "Chao, the clerk won't think I'm giving this to my girlfriend, will she?"
An Ning took the gift box from his hands and stepped aside, saying, "It's okay, I know this isn't what you really mean."
After the others came in, she closed the door again and began unpacking the gift box as she walked.
The gift box looked very well packaged, but Anning simply tugged on the shorter end of the ribbon and the whole box opened, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.
Looking at the frog slippers covered by gold chains and bracelets, Anning quickly guessed the origin of the gift. "Don't they want them anymore? You're just giving them all to me?"
Anze plopped down on the leather sofa and answered decisively, "If you want me to pay, you'll come looking for me."
“Oh, then I’m rich.” An Ning smiled slightly as she squatted down and casually stuffed the scattered gold chains back into the box, but her movements paused for a moment when she touched something.
She looked down and saw the jade bracelet she had worn in the sewer.
She didn't know whether Anze had come specifically to give her the jade bracelet or not, but she really liked it.
It's not suitable for her to wear all the time; it might get smashed to pieces in a fight.
After An Ning had roughly packed her things, she sat down next to An Ze. Just as she was taking out her phone to watch videos, the person who had come with a purpose spoke up impatiently.
“My dear sister, your brother learned through the internet that you’ve been getting quite close to that group of people from the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau lately. Are you thinking of getting involved there?”
When Anze asked her questions, he deliberately avoided looking at her, keeping his eyes fixed on the TV in the living room, which had no picture, and sat upright waiting for the answer.
Having roughly guessed what he wanted to ask, An Ning answered truthfully, "No, I've just been having bad luck lately. When teachers run into people with criminal tendencies, they always get implicated at the scene."
Her answer was very official, and Anze was very dissatisfied with it, so he simply went all out and revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Your brother will be frank. My friend has taken a liking to your talent and wants you to help him out."
An Ning countered, "What kind of help?"
"He opened a haunted house with live-action NPCs. He just finished a new one recently. It's a haunted house with evil spirits. He wants you to be a tester."
"What kind of experience? Is the haunted house really scary?" An Ning became interested, picked up a washed apple from the coffee table and took a bite. "Or is it to experience a ghost?"
"You guessed it, it's about experiencing demons."
"He spent two million..."
Before Anze could finish speaking, Anning stood up abruptly. "It's not that I want those two million, but since I'm your friend, it's hard to refuse. Let's not delay, let's set off now."
As An Ning said this, she was about to walk towards the bronze door, but before she could take two steps, An Ze quickly added, "His purpose is publicity, so he will do a live broadcast... Do you agree to this?"
An Ning didn't even look up. "As long as the money is there, whether or not we do a live stream is not a problem."
Watching An Ning's departing figure, An Ze finally pulled out his phone, which had been on a call, and said impatiently, "Satisfied? If anything happens to her, I'll not only give up the role, I'll skin you alive."
The girl on the other end of the phone laughed heartily, "Anze, what are you saying? I'm absolutely reliable. As long as she performs well, she'll definitely be the lead in my dad's new movie!"
Anze sneered, "You'd better be."
Seeing that An Ning had already left, An Ze hurriedly got up and followed her, sneaking out before An Ning could close the door.
Anning, who doesn't own a car yet, was once again driven to her destination by someone else.
Upon seeing the so-called newly built haunted house, An Ning couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
She would believe it if you told her it was a house from the 1980s because of its distressed look.
This is an old-style residential building with a huge floor area, and the decoration of the building is in the standard style of ordinary people living in the 1980s.
The walls of this residential building are of different colors. In some places, the red bricks are exposed, while in others, a thin layer of cement has been applied. Some of the more upscale areas have been coated with a layer of cheap putty. Because of the need to create the appearance of age, the paint on the walls is mottled and peeling, and some areas are even covered with a layer of green moss.
If Anze hadn't said it was newly built, Anning would have thought it was an old-fashioned building left over from the old era when she passed by.
"Me, the only one dressed as a ghost?"
An Ning looked at the building in front of her and asked the person standing next to her.
The other party immediately denied it, saying, "There were eight participants, two of whom were wronged souls who were murdered, and you are one of them."
"As for the others, they are either direct murderers or indirect accomplices. You can kill someone under certain conditions, but you cannot kill the wronged soul disguised as a normal person, otherwise you will be reduced to ashes."
An Ning raised an eyebrow, "annihilated?"
"No, no, I lost the game." Anze chuckled awkwardly and quickly corrected himself.
