It was only when confronting the person in front of her that An Ning truly realized how strong an actor's conviction could be.
She was holding a prop gun that was so small it couldn't even penetrate her clothes. At this moment, she had to treat it as a real gun to confront this random killer with confidence and composure.
And it seems she really managed to intimidate the man with a prop gun.
Taking advantage of her momentum, An Ning pressed her advantage, "Would you say this counts as competitors clashing? Just look at this thing I have here, three of them died at its hands two hours ago."
As for the three who died at its hands, she thought that even if she didn't say it, the person would understand.
Zheng Tianxiang truly understood.
Two hours ago, she had taken three lives, more than he had ever killed in total.
Seeing the other person's slightly constricted pupils, An Ning knew she was right. This person was indeed a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. He only dared to target young women who were out alone late at night when he was randomly killing people. How much courage could he have?
While the other person was stunned, An Ning kicked Zheng Tianxiang in the neck with great force, the kind of kick that would take at least half an hour to recover from. Fearing that this idiot would follow closely behind, An Ning took advantage of the moment when the man was touching his neck and shouting to grab the key from the side of the steering wheel, unlocked the car door, and without pausing for a moment, she reinserted the key into the lock and slammed on the gas pedal!
But her goal wasn't to die together with this person. The moment the car engine started, she quickly opened the car door and jumped out. She rolled on the ground twice before finally regaining her balance.
But she felt no discomfort whatsoever. Instead, she slowly stood up, watching the black car speed away, a wicked smile spreading across her face. She raised her hand and waved in the air, "Goodbye~"
There was a steep slope less than 100 meters ahead, and a rushing river flowed down the slope. Whether he would fall down the slope or into the ditch was entirely up to fate.
Of course, her death in the crash had nothing to do with her, since it was caused by the driver's "driving error".
Anning's old phone was completely smashed after the fall, with cracks all over the screen. It looked like the screen was about to fall off, but she didn't care at all. She just took out her phone and went to the call page. She didn't even need to dial. The latest call log already had the number she wanted to call.
Yes, the owner of the phone number in the latest call record is the person she is looking for.
Her latest call was to "110".
It was a call to the police.
She's going to call the police again.
Oh dear, I just got out of the police station.
Her connection with the police station is inextricable.
The phone was answered after only a few seconds of ringing. The voice that answered was familiar; it was Officer Lin Hang, with whom she had a troubled past.
But An Ning didn't care about any of that anymore. She just said, "There's a car that overturned on Ningfeng Road in the suburbs of Jinghai due to a driver's mistake. It went up the hillside."
She hung up after saying just that one sentence.
It was 10 p.m., and she simply didn't have the energy to go to the police station again.
Lin Hang had arranged for someone to answer An Ning's call, but he didn't expect to receive her call so soon after he finished. What Lin Hang didn't expect was what An Ning said.
Didn't she just leave the police station?
How did she suddenly end up in the outskirts of Jinghai? Did she go to that remote area to do something and see this?
Or is there some other situation?
Lin Hang couldn't guess, and he didn't want to guess, so he simply led his men over there.
It was almost 10:30 when Lin Hang arrived at the designated location mentioned by An Ning. He shone his flashlight up the slope and, to his surprise, actually saw a person.
But what surprised him even more was that this person seemed to be the suspect in the two recent serial murder cases in Jinghai!
Lin Hang immediately disregarded everything else and shouted, "Grab this man! Don't let him get away!"
Hearing the sirens approaching, Zheng Tianxiang, who was still feeling dizzy, was suddenly jolted awake. With great effort, he opened the twisted car door, and as soon as he crawled out, he was blinded by the police's searchlights.
By the time Lin Hang's voice reached their ears, it was too late for their bodies to react.
Two police officers were already standing less than a meter behind him, each with an electric baton. One blow from the baton would force him to his knees on the spot.
Zheng Tianxiang never imagined he would be caught like this.
He did it perfectly!
Even though the police had begun to suspect him in the first two cases, he still couldn't get any real evidence into their hands. This time... he had carefully selected the most suitable people to target, so how could he have run into someone like this?
"I want to report! I want to report! The third victim I chose is actually a murderer herself. She said she killed three people two hours ago! And... she killed them with a gun! You must bring her to justice! Otherwise, you are protecting her! Protecting her...!"
In the cramped interrogation room, Zheng Tianxiang was firing off a barrage of questions at the person opposite him, while Lin Hang, sitting across from him, remained unfazed and calmly said, "Two hours ago, she was recording a program. The gun was a prop. She killed three guests right under my nose. I saw it with my own eyes. Is there anything else you want to know?"
This was the first time Lin Hang had spoken up for An Ning since they met a few days ago. Only after learning that An Ning was the third victim chosen by Zheng Tianxiang did he understand why An Ning would be in that remote corner so late at night.
Was he being transported there, or was he being transported there to be killed?
An Ning's strength truly exceeded his expectations to be able to escape from such a person.
The police station had already called An Ning, but her phone was off. They didn't know if it was intentional. Considering how late it was, Lin Hang decided to go see An Ning the next morning.
The most important thing right now is the murderer in front of us who killed two innocent people in just one week.

It was past midnight when Anning returned to Fengchao. She was charged four yuan for canceling the overdue ride order. Because of this four yuan, Anning gave up the idea of taking another ride and took the last bus back to Fengchao.
The day had been so exciting that Anning was exhausted. She walked to the door of 404, took out her key, and prepared to open the door. But just before she turned the doorknob and was about to go in, she glanced to the side out of the corner of her eye, and that glance stopped her in her tracks.
The door to apartment 405 next door was open, and conversations could be heard coming from inside. Anning listened carefully and realized that the people inside were arguing.
Jiang Yu's voice was exceptionally clear, "Even if you put a knife to my throat, I won't go back. I wouldn't even want your entire fortune if it were handed to me..."
His voice stopped abruptly, not because he suddenly changed his mind, but because a knife was really placed against his neck. The cold touch felt extremely real, and Jiang Yu felt a chill run down his spine for a moment.
Anning whispered in his ear, "Are we going back now?"
