What was originally imagined as fun turned into a chase for criminals.
If it weren’t for Qi Xingzhou sitting in the passenger seat, but any other normal person, at this moment, they would probably be internally criticizing Jiang Ning as a heartless capitalist. Perhaps, after returning to their own place in the evening, they would even open TikTok to post an update with the watermelon effect saying, "Who understands me, my family."
But now, it was the willingly volunteered bargain worker Qi Xingzhou sitting in the passenger seat.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words, he tilted his head, showing not the slightest hint of disappointment but rather some anticipation, "Where are we going to catch them?"
Ever since he had told Jiang Ning that he had signed up for the driving test, Jiang Ning rarely took him out to catch criminals anymore.
Qi Xingzhou had been practicing driving all this time.
This person who used to not mind spending every single day of the past two decades in his room was recently feeling a sense of dullness and tedium towards this repetitive life.
However, he still didn’t realize what kind of emotions were occasionally emerging in his heart these days.
He just felt that he would sometimes think of Jiang Ning, always wanting to find her, hang around in front of her, and make his presence felt. It was a pity that Jiang Ning had been rather busy recently, not to mention she had been working at the Huo Corporation the days before.
This week was the longest they had been apart since they became partners on missions!
Now, hearing Jiang Ning mention catching criminals, Qi Xingzhou was somewhat impatient.
His nimble little brain started spinning rapidly, especially hoping to hear the names of other cities from Jiang Ning’s lips.
Qi Xingzhou was gradually gaining experience in catching criminals.
The locations of those criminals varied, some being far and some near.
For instance, Q City was quite good. That time when he accompanied Jiang Ning, not only did they catch many criminals in Q City, but they also stayed there for several days.
Jiang Ning, unaware of Qi Xingzhou’s thoughts, grasped the steering wheel with both hands, eyes focused straight ahead and responded, "Don’t worry, it won’t be too far away."
After a moment of consideration, she felt compelled to add, "But there might be quite a number of them."
Qi Xingzhou’s expression was a bit dejected and the light in his eyes dimmed upon hearing the first part.
However, as he heard the second part, his eyes lit up again instantly.
Jiang Ning drove seriously.
Having just decided to take Qi Xingzhou to urgently reap Merit Apples, Jiang Ning asked the System to thoroughly check for nearby criminals.
The Host actively wanting to work hard thrilled the System, which promptly laid out a list of criminals for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning took on all those tasks in one go.
Now, looking at the System map only visible to Jiang Ning, a quick glance told her where the most red dots were concentrated, indicating the densest population of criminals.
Jiang Ning drove with purpose.
Suddenly, the System’s anxious voice echoed in her mind:
[Ding ding ding! Emergency task detected! Someone in Dayao District is contemplating suicide! Host, please rush to rescue immediately!]
Jiang Ning’s mind jolted, "Where is the location?"
The System didn’t respond verbally, but the navigation on Jiang Ning’s map updated with a new destination.
Glancing at it, Jiang Ning could see that the endpoint indicated by the arrow symbol wasn’t far from her current location, but it would still take about five or six minutes to get there by car.
While keeping an eye on road conditions, Jiang Ning pressed the accelerator and headed in the direction given by the System, "What’s the specific situation? How is that young lady now?"
[It’s a little girl who wants to end her life on the rooftop of a building. A neighbor opposite to her discovered and reported it. There are already many people watching, and some kind-hearted members of the public have called the police.]
