Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou got back into the car.
With the boost from trending searches, the number of viewers in Jiang Ning’s live streaming room was increasing rapidly every second.
Qi Xingzhou still didn’t have his driver’s license, so Jiang Ning was driving again.
Qi Xingzhou sat in the passenger seat, holding Jiang Ning’s phone.
Qi Xingzhou, the reluctant on-site assistant, was becoming more adept at managing the live stream every time Jiang Ning broadcasted while catching criminals.
His gaze occasionally fell on Jiang Ning, and without realizing it, half of the camera shots ended up focusing on her.
It wasn’t until he noticed the comments on the phone screen, everyone marveling at Jiang Ning’s looks and demeanor while driving seriously... Qi Xingzhou suddenly snapped back to reality, his eyes darkened and lips pursed, he silently shifted the camera to the scenery zipping by outside the window.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for capturing the criminals Miao Bin and Fang Haozhi, reward: 15 days of life value, 50 Merit Points!]
[Reward for partner Qi Xingzhou: +5 Merit Points.]
In her mind, the System’s voice came belatedly.
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment before she couldn’t help but speak, "System, it seems like you’re somewhat slacking off."
Miao Bin and Fang Haozhi weren’t captured in the same place, and they weren’t part of the same task.
It had been over an hour since Miao Bin was captured, and Fang Haozhi had already been handed over to Officer Nian and his team.
She still remembered that in the beginning, every time she caught a criminal, the System would report the task reward immediately.
This time, the System was clearly less enthusiastic!
No wonder she felt like something was missing just now.
It turns out it was the most crucial element: the System’s reward!
[Cough cough, I went to meet a relative, sorry.] The System coughed twice, its voice oddly shy.
Covering its overheating mainboard, it quickly changed the subject and began praising its Host: [Host, you’re doing quite well with your tasks! Even without me, your task completion speed hasn’t been affected at all!]
[Don’t worry, as long as you keep up the good work, you won’t miss out on rewards! As long as you catch enough criminals, not only living until 99, even 199 is possible!] It spoke enthusiastically, offering Jiang Ning big promises.
Jiang Ning wasn’t sure whether to be shocked that the System could go on a blind date or that she could supposedly live until 199.
Just as she was about to tease the System, she suddenly noticed a figure lying by the roadside ahead.
At the same time, the System’s voice echoed in her mind:
[Ding! A fallen elderly person detected fifty meters ahead, please help the elder by getting out of the car. Reward: 1 Merit Point.]
This must be the task with the smallest reward ever offered by the System.
As the sedan moved forward, the figure of the fallen elderly person became clearer.
Jiang Ning slowly pulled the car over to the curb.
Due to the camera angle, the live stream viewers hadn’t seen the fallen elderly person at the roadside. Realizing that Jiang Ning had stopped, they thought that the third person involved in defaming her and Qi Xingzhou had appeared, and they eagerly anticipated the climax.
Everyone had been waiting for the moment to see Jiang Ning catching criminals!
[Hahaha, I can’t wait to see who the unlucky third person caught will be!]
[Zhouzhou, get out of the car quick hahaha, Jiang Ning has already gotten out! You need to keep up with her pace!]
Jiang Ning’s actions were indeed faster than Qi Xingzhou’s. By the time Qi Xingzhou got out, the phone camera was directed at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning had walked up to a big tree on the pedestrian path, where the fallen elderly person was lying beneath the tree, their condition unclear.
"Hey? How are you? Are you alright?" Jiang Ning stepped forward to inquire.
The elderly person didn’t respond or move.
Seeing her face-down, back-up position, Jiang Ning gently turned the person over.
It was only with this touch that she discovered a large gash on the elderly person’s forehead, with bright red blood continuously flowing from the wound, even staining the ground with much of her blood!
Jiang Ning exclaimed in shock and quickly turned to Qi Xingzhou, "Quick! Give me the phone, call an ambulance!"
The viewers in the live stream weren’t fools; when they saw this scene, they also realized that Jiang Ning had stopped not because she had found the third person involved in defaming her and Qi Xingzhou, but because she had seen the elderly person by the roadside and stopped to help.
Qi Xingzhou wasn’t foolish either, and he knew the reason Jiang Ning stopped even faster than the viewers did.
Before Jiang Ning even spoke to him, Qi Xingzhou had already pulled out his own phone.
Almost as soon as Jiang Ning spoke, he handed his phone to her, saying, "My phone doesn’t have a passcode."
Jiang Ning quickly used Qi Xingzhou’s phone to call for an ambulance and also informed the police.
[What? Qi Xingzhou’s phone doesn’t have a passcode???]
[Shocked, who nowadays doesn’t put a passcode on their phone?]
[Thinking about my boyfriend who changes his password three times a day to keep me from checking his phone. (grumbling)]
[Should it be said, Jiang Ning’s luck is incredible, she encounters incidents wherever she goes]
[Hahaha, indeed, but it’s so rare, this is the first time there’s no criminal to catch in Jiang Ning’s live stream, usually it ends with her catching someone.]
But to everyone’s surprise, while Jiang Ning was communicating with the police, the elderly lady, who had been unconscious before, suddenly opened her eyes, then aggressively grabbed Jiang Ning’s arm, hissing, "You hit me! Young lady, you have to take responsibility!"
[To the person earlier, look, here comes the criminal]
[...Sorry, I spoke too soon.]
Not just the viewers in the live stream, even Jiang Ning hadn’t expected that the first thing this elderly lady would do upon waking was to unjustly accuse her.
Jiang Ning’s initially gentle expression instantly turned cold.
After informing the dispatcher of her location, she hung up the phone, lowered her head to the injured elderly lady, and said, "Are you sure? You’re saying I caused your fall?"
