Chapter 1097 The Returnee's Notes 171
Xie Ning didn't go home; instead, she took a taxi directly back to the house she had bought.
The old lady went into seclusion in the mountains, and Ouyang Lin was still recovering from her injuries, so she chose to stay here for a while to participate in a competition, and then go back around the New Year.
Ouyang Lin also suffered a lot. In the end, she still failed to catch the cunning old man, only some henchmen, and then sent them all to prison.
During this time, she was injured again and needed to recuperate for a while, so she didn't ask Xie Ning for any more commissions.
Huang Lili privately messaged Xie Ning to ask if he wanted to do a commission with the group members, and the price was quite good.
Xie Ning thought of the materials she had on hand and declined. She needed to seize the time to study and try to complete the basic courses within one semester.
As for the commission, she would definitely go if she had enough time, but she has to go back for the New Year after she finishes learning these things, so she doesn't have much time left.
Moreover, the old lady said that she would take her to order a soul umbrella after the New Year.
Xie Ning also planned to take Xi'er to the north in the spring, when the north would surely be full of greenery.
As Xie Ning reached the door, the old woman across the hall also came out. Seeing Xie Ning return, she picked up the trash bag that had been placed in front of Xie Ning's door.
He glanced at Xie Ning, still worried, and asked, "Little girl, where are your parents?"
Xie Ning was looking for her keys when she heard this and smiled, "My sister is away on a business trip and won't be back anytime soon."
"And what about your brother?"
The old woman had met Wang Heng. Although she thought Wang Heng was old enough to be Xie Ning's father, she wondered if Xie Ning was of a higher generation. Besides, there were plenty of cases of people having children late in life.
Ouyang Lin looked young, so the old woman didn't suspect anything.
"He works in another city."
The old woman frowned. "You're really too careless to leave a little girl like you here?"
Then, pointing to the inconspicuous symbol in the shadows near Xie Ning's door, he said, "You'd better watch out, there's a thief eyeing it."
The old woman patted her pocket, took out a small notebook, and showed Xie Ning a page. "This is my phone number. If someone knocks on the door, don't come out. Let me come out and check first."
As for those cat's eye things, they're unreliable.
Moreover, sometimes the thief might not even knock on the door; he might just break in at night.
If the old woman hadn't mentioned it, Xie Ning wouldn't have noticed anything amiss at the door, since the chalk marks looked like something a child would scribble.
"Thank you, Grandma Yang, I will be careful."
Then Xie Ning turned around and put a potted plant outside, inside which was the surveillance camera she had bought.
I originally bought it for experiments, but now it's come in handy.
Having just returned today, Xie Ning originally thought that even if there were thieves, they wouldn't come knocking on her door the very next day after she came back. But it turns out that the thief was indeed in a hurry.
They must have been scouting the area for a long time, so they know Xie Ning's whereabouts very well.
Xie Ning usually goes out to buy groceries at seven o'clock in the morning, and before seven o'clock, a person wearing a black down jacket has been loitering around her door several times.
They probably knew there were no security cameras in the corridor, which is why they acted so recklessly.
Little did they know that Xie Ning had been watching the surveillance footage all along.
Because she removed the surveillance camera and installed a small program inside it, which was connected to her computer. When it saw someone, it would automatically recognize and record the scene and alert her.
It's winter now, and the other person is wearing a lot of clothes, so Xie Ning has a hard time telling whether he's carrying anything.
With her abilities, she was certainly capable of taking down the other party. However, before that, Xie Ning opened the half-finished program she had created, used the half-face of the person she had photographed to identify them, and then compared it with the data she had scraped from the internet.
If the online comparison fails, Xie Ning plans to hack into the bureau's files. Of course, this is illegal, but she won't leave any loose ends; she'll just take a look and won't use it for anything bad.
Fortunately, information about this person was available online, which saved us this step.
Xie Ning raised an eyebrow as she looked at the wanted notice on the page; perhaps she could get an extra bonus.
