Chapter 49: Confidential

[Good heavens, what time is it and they're still obsessing over money?]

[They've truly fallen into the money pits; they'd even throw their lives away for it.]

[They can't be compared to Zhou Yuyu at all. Yuyu suffered such immense harm, and what she wants isn't money or compensation—she just wants justice for herself and the other contestants.]

[Exactly. Yuyu is so strong. Despite such heavy trauma, she pulled through several IUCs. The first thing she did upon waking up was to expose the truth, to provide the truth for the rest of the crew and for those in the industry who have faced injustice.]

[I suddenly understand that saying: Delayed justice isn't justice, it's the truth.]

[But, I want to ask, even if it is the truth, will it actually arrive?]

The netizens who had been following the show were momentarily dazed as they watched the bullet comments.

[Didn't they say the black mist in the ancient tomb only causes dizziness? Zhou Yuyu was just strangled by tomb raiders and slapped a few times—how did that lead to several IUCs?]

[Ignore these people talking nonsense; they're mentally unstable.]

[Judging by their tone, they're clearly not sane. A few hard slaps would fix them.]

"Officer Qing, Officer Qing..."

A sudden burst of shouting erupted from below the building.

Qing Tianfeng pulled his thoughts back and leaned over to look down.

Standing below was a man in a security uniform. Looking closely, he was the same person Qing Tianfeng and Jiang Xiaoya had encountered when they first entered.

At this moment, he was waving a baton in the air and shouting, "Captain Qing, we heard there was a tenant causing trouble in the factory area and came specifically to assist. Why did you run all the way up here?"

Qing Tianfeng looked at Jiang Xiaoya standing beside him.

Jiang Xiaoya looked at the people below, then scanned the surroundings. "Where are the others?"

The serious furrow in Qing Tianfeng's brow deepened.

"They've come up."

Jiang Xiaoya uttered the words slowly.

Qing Tianfeng's black pupils contracted.

At the same time, the security guards heading upstairs all received a notification through their earpieces.

The notification was very brief, consisting of only two words: "Accident."

Pressing his earpiece, a guard replied with a single number: "1."

...

The security guards rushed up at top speed, but they did not see any sign of Qing Tianfeng or Jiang Xiaoya on the top floor.

The group looked at each other in confusion, then realized what was happening and hurriedly bent down to search.

The moment they bent down, they happened to lock eyes with a pair of bright eyes, the light within them so brilliant it was blinding.

[Youyou ran away so gracefully again.]

[Will the security guards vomit from this perspective?]

[The "Life-Risking Idiot Sister" is serious; how can anyone compare to her?]

[Why are you all so calm? I'm actually going crazy with excitement! Doesn't anyone think she's incredibly cool?]

[Cool? She's freaking legendary!]

[Actually, I'm excited too, especially that moment she jumped down. It's truly mesmerizing.]

[A woman who can dominate the trending searches definitely has some real skills.]

"Stop looking and move, quickly."

Qing Tianfeng jumped down following the rope, telling her to stop showing off and leave immediately.

Jiang Xiaoya pulled down the rope and packed it into her portable backpack.

Using the high-rise building as cover, the two of them ran quickly toward the entrance.

The security guards on the roof watched helplessly as the two disappeared from sight. They hurriedly reported the situation via radio, and then the group quickly gave chase.

They guessed that Jiang Xiaoya and Qing Tianfeng would definitely head for the main gate.

Just as Jiang Xiaoya and Qing Tianfeng were about to reach the gate, Jiang Xiaoya suddenly veered in a different direction.

"Where are you going?"

Qing Tianfeng had a clear target in mind. Seeing her sudden turn, he braked abruptly, his lips twitching silently.

Jiang Xiaoya did not respond. Following her memory of how they entered, she ran toward the security office building.

The two quickly reached the vicinity of the office building. Taking advantage of a surveillance blind spot, Jiang Xiaoya climbed to the top floor and smashed open the rooftop door.

"Go!"

Qing Tianfeng: "..."

[This sister's skills are truly criminal.]

[As expected of my Idiot Sister.]

[Even Captain Qing is stunned. What kind of outlaw did he invite?]

[Hahaha, this is hilarious. Captain Qing looks like a rookie recruit.]

Jiang Xiaoya and Qing Tianfeng descended from the rooftop, avoiding surveillance all the way until they reached the office area.

The entire hallway was silent, yet the office lights were on, and a faint red light was flickering inside.

Qing Tianfeng's expression grew increasingly solemn, his gaze fixed intently on that door.

Jiang Xiaoya felt a bit creeped out by that red line.

"Captain Qing, do you want to go take a look?"

Qing Tianfeng: "..."

*Weren't you quite bold just now? Why are you feeling scared now?*

"How about we go wander somewhere else first?"

"No."

Qing Tianfeng shook his head and spoke, "I want to see what kind of tricks an abandoned factory area is playing."

After saying this, he gestured for Jiang Xiaoya to come closer.

"..."

Jiang Xiaoya took a step back, complaining in a low voice, "You said 'go up' and we just went up. How much are you paying me? I'd even throw my life away."

Qing Tianfeng knew he couldn't force the issue; he only regretted that he didn't possess Jiang Xiaoya's abilities and could only give up with resentment.

Jiang Xiaoya looked left and right, preparing to slip away, when a voice suddenly struck her brainwaves.

[Ding! Valuable item detected, valuable item detected...]

Jiang Xiaoya's footsteps froze in place. She turned back to look at the reflected red line.

*Forget it, I'm still afraid of dying.*

She started walking outward again.

Her footsteps stopped.

[Ding! Valuable item detected, valuable item detected...]

*Shit!*

Jiang Xiaoya turned her head stiffly.

Meeting her gaze, Qing Tianfeng vaguely guessed something was up. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaoya glanced toward the warehouse over there. "How about... we take a look?"

"No, we're not looking," Qing Tianfeng said precisely, pulling her forward.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaoya was ecstatic. She couldn't walk there herself, but if someone else dragged her there passively, that would count, right?

But after only two steps,

[Ding! Valuable item detected, valuable item detected...]

...

[Ding! Valuable item detected, valuable item detected...]

"What is it?"

Qing Tianfeng narrowed his eyes at her, his expression unreadable.

Jiang Xiaoya used every ounce of her life's frustration to squeeze out a single word: "Hiss..."

"?" Qing Tianfeng looked at her as if wondering what kind of episode she was having now.

"I just remembered something."

Jiang Xiaoya frowned in deep thought.

Qing Tianfeng crossed his arms, looking like he was just waiting to see what kind of lie she would spin.

"Right, in this kind of situation, I once heard of a possibility... Do you think it's possible that what's in there is... stealing Dragon Country's secrets?"

Jiang Xiaoya had a serious face.

Qing Tianfeng stared at her quietly and asked, "Do you know what's inside?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Xiaoya shook her head honestly, her expression helpless. "I just feel like there must be something dangerous in there."

Don't ask her how she knew; she just knew.

The netizens listening to their conversation were initially confused, but it wasn't until they saw the increasingly distorted bullet comments that they finally realized what was happening.
