Chapter 262: Chapter 257: The People After You Are Nearby

Lao San glanced at the suddenly appeared notification: [Brother Ning Investigates Food is live streaming, click to enter the livestream room.]

"Haven’t streamed in so long, I thought they wouldn’t stream anymore." Lao San mumbled, clicking open the livestream link.

Right in front of him was a plate of sliced mangoes.

The streamer didn’t show their face, but you could hear some white noise of eating.

Lao San looked at the mango plate in front of him and laughed, "What a coincidence."

"Lao San, hurry up and eat, the boss said we’re heading to the small fishing village in a bit."

Lao Er tapped him with chopsticks, and Lao San had to exit the livestream room.

Meanwhile, Ji Ning’s camera lens also moved from the fruit plate to her face.

The hat and sunglasses that were always on her head were taken off.

"Sigh, haven’t streamed in so long, the number of viewers keeps dropping. Look, there goes another fan." Ye Tong looked at the single-digit fans in the livestream room and sighed deeply.

Ji Ning had originally gathered over a thousand fans, but after a month of not streaming, several hundred were lost.

Her heart really ached at this.

But thinking about Ji Ning’s current profession, she felt a bit worried and asked softly, "Is streaming going to affect your work?"

"No." She just needed a job to cover her identity.

Ye Tong was relieved by this, eating while keeping an eye on Ji Ning’s fan count.

Unfortunately, by the time they were nearly done eating, the viewership hadn’t hit the triple digits.

The four superpower users next door, having eaten, asked the boss for the restroom location and quickly headed there.

Soon after, the four of them changed into a set of black clothes and wore silver masks on their faces.

Lao San touched the "credential" in his pocket, praised the boss with a smile: "The boss always has a way."

Ji Ning and Ye Tong, not long after they left, also walked out of the restaurant with a selfie stick.

Ye Tong wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask.

Ji Ning wore glasses with plain lenses and was given a simple makeup by Ye Tong, looking more delicate than before.

"Ah, it’s just a shame you didn’t wear a wig. Sister Ning, you’d be an absolute beauty with long hair." Ye Tong lamented.

Ji Ning glanced at her and said lightly, "The person trying to catch you is nearby."

The smile on Ye Tong’s face instantly froze, she quickly grabbed Ji Ning’s arm, nervously glancing around, "Where? Have they spotted me?"

"If you keep talking, they will."

Ye Tong quickly mimed zipping her lips shut.

The two of them strolled near the small fishing village like tourists, snapping selfies as they went.

By then, the small fishing village was already surrounded by police, with a security perimeter set up. No unauthorized persons were allowed in.

Ji Ning and Ye Tong didn’t approach it, keeping a distance from the perimeter, walking around the outskirts of the village to a more deserted area.

This spot had a beach, with several reefs rising above the sea level.

Waves repeatedly crashed against the reefs, producing loud splashes.

The air was filled with a faint salty scent, and a sea breeze blew through, bringing a touch of refreshment deep down.

Ye Tong took off her shoes and sprinted towards the sea, arms wide open.

Her hair flying, joyful exclamations, happy like a child. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Sister Ning, come quickly... there are so many shells here..."

"Wow, there are even little crabs..."

"And shrimps..."

Ye Tong bent down to collect the shells on the ground.

Ji Ning walked over slowly, pulling a military-grade binocular from her bag to gaze towards the small fishing village.

From this angle, the nearest dock of the small fishing village could be clearly seen, where several uniformed officers were checking the fishing boats nearby.

Ye Tong originally wanted to show Ji Ning the colorful shells she’d found, but seeing her with the binoculars, she wisely kept quiet.

Best not to disturb a woman at work.

Ji Ning watched for a while, then her lips curled up, and she quietly said, "Interesting..."

Those four were actually impersonating Security Bureau detectives.

Sure enough, they were connected to the Security Bureau in Gunan County.

"Let’s go."

Ji Ning put down the binoculars and stepped towards the small fishing village.

Ye Tong rushed to her feet, grabbing her shoes, and ran after Ji Ning.

She had thought Ji Ning wanted to head to the dock, but Ji Ning continued walking around the outskirts of the small fishing village, periodically observing through the binoculars until they reached another beach on the opposite side of the village.

This beach was even quieter, nearly deserted.

Coincidentally, a white cloud floated past, and the blazing sun peeked from behind the clouds, instantly evaporating the water on the beach.

"Oh my, it’s so hot."

Despite wearing a sun-protective jacket, Ye Tong couldn’t stand the relentless sun and shaded her head with her hand, jogging to a coconut tree for shade.

Just about to call out for Ji Ning, who was still observing on the beach, she noticed a patch of dark red stones at her feet.

This... this is...

Ye Tong, startled, covered her mouth immediately, not daring to look around, then rushed towards Ji Ning.

Only when she got closer did she dare to say, "Sister Ning, I saw blood under the tree."

Ji Ning lowered the binoculars and headed towards the coconut grove.

Ye Tong anxiously followed behind her.

Ji Ning strode a few steps, then suddenly stopped.

Pointing to a coconut tree ahead, she said loudly, "Take a picture for me."

Then she handed the selfie stick and phone to Ye Tong.

She then posed in front of the coconut grove.

Ye Tong knew she shouldn’t laugh at that moment, but Ji Ning’s poses, learned from Bai Xiaotang, were so glaringly cute in contrast.

Seeing those awkward peace signs and heart shapes, Ye Tong could only keep snapping photos to cover her emotions.

Meanwhile, Ji Hong, lying in the coconut grove and clutching her wounded arm, lay still in the foliage, watching the two slowly approaching.

Her gaze was fierce, her cracked lips pressed tightly, while sweat trickled down her forehead drop by drop.

Those uniformed people were truly formidable.

They had managed to find her hideout with just a dog.

Luckily, she reacted quickly, freezing the fish and slitting their throats, but still got a bite from their dog.

After ambushing two uniformed men, she secretly dove into the sea, swimming over here.

Before she could tend to her wound, the two young girls had come to the sea shore.

Afraid of being found, she hid further.

When one of the girls ran towards her, she was ready to kill her with a stone, but she ran away again.

Now, with her friend, they were heading back in her direction.

Ji Hong clenched the stone tighter, calculating the distance between the two girls and herself.

Beating those two uniformed men and the dog had drained her significantly, and the seawater soaking her bitten wound felt excruciatingly painful. She had to calculate every step carefully to kill them both in one swift move.

steps, 19 steps...

steps, 12 steps...

As soon as they were within 10 steps, she could swiftly slit their throats...

steps, 10 steps...

Ji Hong’s eyes were locked on the not-too-far silhouette, her muscles about to spring, but that figure came to a halt.

Neither retreating nor advancing.

"This is it."

Ji Ning leaned against a coconut tree with one hand, flashing a peace sign with the other.

From the phone screen, Ye Tong saw the smile on Ji Ning’s lips and felt a sudden shiver.

Why did Sister Ning’s smile send chills down her spine?
