Simulated Crime, This Criminal Doesn't Seem to Be Acting-Chapter 86

After Ye Sangsang left the instance, the instance did not completely close.

The superintelligence, probably knowing what the audience wanted to see, began to play the key developments following the case.

Wang Qi and Wang Ping were sent to the detention center, and Xu Wan's intentionally left DNA, along with the DNA from the ten-year-old massacre, was sent to the provincial capital for comparison.

After the expedited comparison concluded, confirming beyond doubt that they were the culprits, everything finally settled.

Then came the discovery of the phone where Wang Qi had conversed with Song Jiaqi, proving the relevance of the case, followed by the comparison of fingerprints on the coins Wang Qi and Wang Ping gave to Song Jiaqi.

Next was the determination of the skull's identity.

After multiple efforts, the case was ironclad with conclusive evidence, and the police finally ceased their investigations.

They needed to ensure that Wang Ping and Wang Qi had no chance of turning over.

It wasn't until Wang Qi and Wang Ping were swiftly sentenced to death for intentional homicide, with particularly heinous circumstances, that the anger of the live streaming audience calmed down slightly.

In this era, executions were still carried out with a gun; lethal injection had not yet begun.

The firing squad would verify the identities, drag them to the execution ground, make them stand, and shoot them directly.

They would truly experience the fear of being dominated by death, and from afar, some people would even watch this scene.

Of course, the audience in the live broadcast room was among those watching.

Ye Sangsang followed along to witness this ending.

It was like the finale of a movie, giving the audience a perfect conclusion.

She and the audience watched it all.

It was, it must be said, a rather impressive scene.

【Missing your own accomplishment would be a pity.】

A virtual box popped up in front of Ye Sangsang. She glanced at the live stream comments and noticed that the live stream audience couldn't see it.

"I previously forgot to sincerely thank you, thank you for reporting and for preserving all the evidence."

Ye Sangsang felt that, in a way, the superintelligence was more pleasing than some overly confident human males in reality.

【Thank you for the compliment. Are you satisfied with your accomplishment?】

"Very perfect,"

Ye Sangsang's review.

【Alright, I wish you a pleasant experience in future games. Superintelligence at your service.】

The screen darkened as the gunshot marked the end, with Wang Ping and Wang Qi lying on the ground, their faces filled with fear and unblinking eyes.

As the screen went dark, a person suddenly appeared in front of Ye Sangsang.

Before Ye Sangsang could react, the person dove into her embrace, hugging her tightly.

【Who is this person! Ah, don't hug her!I haven't hugged my beauty Sangsang yet!Let go of her!!!】

【It's a girl, I'll forgive her for a second, but is she done hugging yet? Let me hug her for a lifetime!】

Ye ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‍Sangsang reached out her hand, placing her hands on the woman's shoulders and pulling her away, glancing down at the person before her.

It was a sister a bit older than her. Ye Sangsang raised an eyebrow and, after thinking for a moment, tentatively asked, "Are you the other host who was matched with me?"

Match mode had paired the two of them into the same space?

The girl with her hair tied into a high ponytail looked up at Ye Sangsang.

“Yes! Sangsang, little sister! I am the other host who was matched with you,” she straightened up, regaining some of her adult composure, her face slightly red as she recalled her actions.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Xu Ping An."

Ye Sangsang immediately realized that Xu Ping An and Xu Wan probably had some connection.

Seeing the surname, they were likely related.

"I'll also introduce myself, I am Xu Wan's younger sister," she said solemnly.

Ye Sangsang guessed correctly, so her face showed no surprise.

Xu Wan's sister? The deceased's sister in the copy!

If you think about it, it's quite coincidental. Her sister enters the game playing her older sister.

【Judging by age, is she Xu Wan's sister born after her death? Otherwise, the timeline doesn't quite add up.】

The live streaming room had many viewers expressing their confusion through comments.

Ye Sangsang extended his hand, shaking hands with Xu Ping An, and then immediately releasing it.

"Just call me Ye Sangsang," she said, looking at Xu Ping An. "May I ask why you entered the instance? Is there a specific purpose?"

Her previous guess had been confirmed. Xu Ping An indeed wasn't just there to play.

After being scared to that extent and still insisting on playing, it wasn't something an ordinary person could handle.

Xu Ping An met Ye Sangsang's inquiring gaze and seemed hesitant.

"...It's for my sister. In reality, this case has never been solved."

Ye Sangsang was slightly surprised, recalling that such a possibility indeed existed. She nodded, signaling Xu Ping An to continue.

Xu Ping An continued, "In reality, only Song Jiaqi died in this case; no one suspected Wang Ping and the Wang Qi brothers... I didn't either. Even in the scenario, I never paid attention to Wang Qi and Wang Ping, thinking they were just ordinary doctors..."

As she spoke about this, her expression was filled with loneliness. The case had tormented her parents for thirty-one years.

"I was born three years after my parents lost my sister. I've always known I have a sister. Mom and Dad named me Xu Ping An, hoping for me to live in peace and safety."

“Getting off topic, let's talk about the case. Previously, the police's investigation focus was entirely on the murderer's provocation, not realizing that it was just my sister passing by and Wang Qi who laid the groundwork for the disaster. It was just a petty man-child who didn't get his way and decided to maliciously target my sister.”

"Due to the deviation in investigations, the case remained unsolved, and we were unable to uncover the truth."

When The Criminal Files needed a batch of original case files, Xu Ping An actively submitted hers.

From the moment she obtained a spot at the start of the internal test, she began grinding this dungeon/instance.

The purpose of repeatedly reviewing this copy was also to find any clues that could bring the case to light.

But she was too clumsy; no matter whether she used the forensic or detective badge, or even the victim's identities, she couldn't uncover the truth.

This copy didn't have a criminal identity card.

As time went on, she had already given up hope.

Unexpectedly, The Criminal Files has been updated, introducing a match mode.

She thought she would get a detective badge, as they were the most common, with only rare occasions resulting in victims.

To her surprise, when she logged in, she found that she had been switched from a detective to a victim identity badge.

She was quite frightened, having been killed so many times before; it was terrifying.

Even so, she still actively investigated the case, witnessing Song Jiaqi being discovered and then dying.

This part she had experienced many times before. Once Song Jiaqi died, the case fell into an unsolvable deadlock.

Even if the police later found discrepancies, there was no evidence to overturn the motives.

However, this time was different. This time, Song Jiaqi wasn't discovered because his wife suddenly returned home and found the dismembered body scene.

But rather, more than a day earlier, the new investigator player noticed the suspicious removal of a pregnant fetus and investigated the hospital, where they found clues leading to the case break.

She noticed the difference brought by Ye Sangsang, but she was still terrified, as the time of death was drawing nearer.

She instinctively approached Ye Sangsang, then, in her state of fear, she waited step by step for death to arrive.

She defended herself, attempting to call others within the game system's allowed limits.

But it was still no use.

She still died.

She watched as Ye Sangsang continued to investigate and began to notice discrepancies.

She felt hopeful yet also thought it was ridiculous to place hope in someone else.

To her surprise, Ye Sangsang truly created a miracle.

Ye Sangsang was too familiar with those people's thinking, discovering the secrets behind a mere decorative knife.

Everything happened too smoothly, so smoothly that it seemed almost unbelievable.

"Thank you!"

She said, bowing solemnly to Ye Sangsang.

Ye Sangsang raised an eyebrow, shaking her head, "Don't thank me, I'm just a player."

Xu Ping An straightened up. Although Ye Sangsang didn't want her gratitude, she couldn't help but express it.

My parents have been longing for the truth for decades. To be honest, if the truth hadn't come out, they probably would have died with regrets. Now that everything has come to light, I must thank you! Thank you for giving our family closure.

Her eyes were steadfast, and then she disappeared from the game's space.

The time for the matched team to stay had passed.

Finally, Xu Ping An also said that when she finds them, she will come to the live stream to tell Ye Sangsang.

Ye Sangsang nodded at her, even though she wasn't particularly eager to uncover the truth, she wouldn't be the kind of person to ruin the mood.

There weren't many comments during the live stream.

It wasn't until after Xu Ping An left that the live stream became lively again.

【Persistence has paid off, even if the result came late, it's still a result.】

【I apologize for laughing at Xu Ping An before; she’s not just bad at playing but loves it, she's bad but persistent, a really good girl.】

【This case was quite famous a long time ago and later became one of the unsolved mysteries. I can’t believe it’s solved today! Ye Sangsang is so amazing!】

Ye Sangsang glanced at the comments in the live stream, said a few words, and then logged off.

While some maliciously ruin others' happiness, there are those who fiercely protect it, insisting on catching the culprit.

Whether they come or not, they will seek the truth.

Like Xu Ping An.

As for Wang Qi and Wang Ping, according to Xu Ping An, it was a deviation caused by the investigation. The reality was that they nearly missed the truth by just one step.

The main reason was that the police never suspected them; they probably left Bai City long ago when DNA information became widespread. The police didn’t even notice their departure.

Without collecting any evidence, how could they catch the culprit?

After logging off, Ye Sangsang didn’t have to wait long before she received feedback from Xu Ping An.

Xu Ping An sent it through the in-game chat system, detailing the follow-up of the case.

After logging off, she quickly contacted the police officers from back then.

Although they were older now, since it was the case they handled back then, they would accept it no matter what, allowing the case to have a satisfying conclusion.

Soon, they contacted new police officers to take over.

With accurate identity information, finding the Wang brothers was simple for them.

The conclusion, however, was eerily silent, a reminder of karma's cyclical nature.

The Wang brothers had died 21 years ago, in 2015.

Eight years after committing the crime, Wang Ping retired, and the Wang brothers went to Jiang City to buy a villa to spend their later years.

Unexpectedly, just half a year after moving in, Wang Ping suffered a stroke, and Wang Qi became paralyzed from the waist down, needing a nanny for care.

Considering strength issues, they hired a male nanny.

Four months later, the two were found dead at home, covered in bedsores, emaciated, and rotting.

They were abused by the nanny and starved to death.

After their deaths, the nanny quickly stole all the family's money and fled.

Just like the crime they committed, the case of their brutal death remained unsolved.

Their remains were collected by the neighborhood committee, and the remaining estate was divided into three parts.

One part for Wang Qi's most hated uncle, one for Wang Ping’s uncle, and one for the neighborhood committee.

Xu Ping An said she and her parents could barely accept this outcome, but they had no choice but to accept it.

Because if they were alive now, it would likely be impossible to pursue criminal liability.

Seeing how miserably they died, victims and police also felt a little comforted.

She thanked Ye Sangsang again before ending this update.

Ye Sangsang looked at the outcome. This kind of ending was a warning to perverts.

For victims and police, only when criminals die do things truly end.

Xu Ping An was probably most afraid of them living well.

Because if they were alive now, at their age, the law couldn't judge them.

Their death meant everything was finally over.

Ye Sangsang closed the interface and started another day of rehabilitation.

She could already walk a few meters without holding onto anything, though not very steadily. According to her rehab doctor, this was considered fast progress.

After rehab, they had their afternoon meal and then boarded a cruise.

This cruise would pass through three countries before they flew back.

There was no need to worry about safety—with the current strength of Zhongzhou Nation and the widespread use of intelligent surveillance, the probability of encountering danger was extremely low.

Many people, including Ye Sangsang, wouldn’t let this low probability stop them from traveling.

She had promised Ms. Ye Xin that no matter what the future holds, she would do her best to continue loving mountains, lakes, trees, flowers, and not perverted things like other people's bodies.

The butler was professionally trained, and all procedures and arrangements were planned for Ye Sangsang to review.

To not delay Ye Sangsang's gaming time, she would arrange everything before 8 PM.

All Ye Sangsang had to do was enjoy.

Sitting on the top deck of the cruise, gazing at the deep sea illuminated by the cruise’s lights, with waves rolling, Ye Sangsang for the first time felt only its tranquility.

After washing up, Ye Sangsang laid down in bed on time.

【Welcome player Ye Sangsang to the game, hope you have fun this time as well.】

Perhaps because Ye Sangsang hadn’t expressed any displeasure, this time the super intelligence added a welcome pop-up.

Ye Sangsang didn't comment, the super intelligence was relatively good in her eyes.

Entering the game, naturally, it was time to choose a copy.

She admitted that she had developed a different feeling for this game.

Maybe it could be called dependence? Or perhaps fondness.

For her, life is only exciting when it's thrilling.

Ye Sangsang logged in on time, and the audience of her live stream quickly followed suit, with the number increasing at an astonishing speed.

And it increased significantly, more than before, reaching up to eight hundred thousand, instantly topping the Star Ring Live’s heat ranking.

【Sang Sister, your brother is live streaming! He’s spreading rumors about you, saying you’re a psycho! Go explain!】

【He’s claiming you’re a psychopath! Sang sister, clarify!】

【He’s also airing grievances live, tagging you under Sang corner, saying you’ve killed, really despicable!】

Everything happened so unexpectedly, Ye Sangsang was taken aback after reading it.

You could also go online within the game space, and soon Ye Sangsang understood the cause and effect.

It was because Ye Zhe couldn't get money from his father’s side, so in a fit of anger, he started smearing her reputation, trying to get back at her.

Ye Sangsang made her first choice to log off and then called.

To deal with such things, she needed to seek legal help.

Soon, with Ms. Lin’s suggestion, Ye Sangsang called the police.

A few minutes later, under the eyes of over ten thousand people watching the live stream, Ye Zhe was taken away by the police.

Ye Sangsang logged back in, stating that the matter was resolved.

【Ah! I thought it would be a big shouting match, so easily resolved?】

【Sang sister, you’re so fast! Great efficiency!】

【Justice is clear, Ye Zhe should be dealt with like this, my Sang sister is the best!】

Ye Sangsang looked at the comments and didn’t explain anything about the mental illness.

It wasn’t because she was afraid of exposing a weakness or something, but because she was sure that her mental illness was cured now.

Though, it was different from before, when she had it but believed there was nothing wrong with herself, which was an erroneous self-perception.

Now, she knew she had been mentally ill, but was currently in a normal mental state.

That is to say, she now clearly knew that she was cured, the doctor had also reviewed it.

If she’s cured, why bring it up? For her, it would be redundant.

Ye Zhe’s slander had a great impact, at least for a fifteen-day detention.

Ye Sangsang was very happy, deciding to have Ms. Lin prepare a lawsuit for Ye Zhe to apologize and compensate.

In high spirits, Ye Sangsang casually selected a copy.

This time, she didn’t use the match mode. Relatively speaking, she preferred this single-player mode.

Soon, Ye Sangsang entered the game’s copy.

Outside the window was bright sunshine, the dazzling light piercing through the green leaves, forming dappled shadows on the ground.

Beautiful and normal to the extreme, it felt like a dream back to when Ye Sangsang was in a mental hospital.

Because it was too peaceful, Ye Sangsang was a little dazed.

Before she could react, a male arm wrapped around her shoulder, drawing Ye Sangsang’s attention.

Ye Sangsang didn’t instinctively push the arm away, instead, she looked at the person holding her.

The owner of the arm on her shoulder was a young man with acne, wearing a blue and white school uniform, his hair almost covering his eyes.

Ye Sangsang looked around and realized this was actually a classroom.

The dappled shadows below the window sill, the sunlight, and green leaves were beyond the window.

"What’s wrong?"

# }

This should be a self-study period, and there is no teacher at the podium, so Ye Sangsang directly asked the boy.

Just out of politeness, she lowered her voice.

The boy looked at Ye Sangsang strangely, "You, no way, you've changed completely, huh?"

As he spoke, the boy seemed to think of something and sighed.

"Alright, alright, I get it. You want to study hard."

Ye Sangsang remained silent, her gaze falling on the boy's arm.

The boy, sensing her intention, withdrew his hand and muttered something about being petty.

Just then, the teacher arrived, and he hurriedly picked up his pen, pretending to study.

Ye Sangsang also picked up her pen and lowered her head.

This was only her second time experiencing the high school learning atmosphere, apart from the previous school-themed game.

【Player, hello. You have entered the game. Please follow the game's rules and start the 'Punishment for Rebellion' scenario.】

【Your identity card has been drawn.】

【Victim】

【You need to survive in this scenario.】

Ye Sangsang was surprised. She had thought she would get a criminal identity card, but instead, she got the victim card.

However, she quickly regained her composure and began reviewing the information.

In this scenario, her identity is that of a 16-year-old high school boy named Zhou Xue.

He comes from a divorced family, raised by his mother who is a businesswoman.

Due to her busy schedule, Zhou Xue's mother is often away, making it difficult for her to discipline him.

This has led to Zhou Xue developing a rebellious nature, indulging in vices such as drinking, smoking, and spending nights at the internet cafe.

For instance, the boy's earlier invitation likely meant going to the internet cafe after evening self-study.

Since the scenario is titled 'Punishment for Rebellion' and she has the victim card, Ye Sangsang quickly realized that the punishment would likely befall Zhou Xue.

She wondered, how exactly would he be punished?

【This scenario is confusing right from the start.】

【'Punishment for Rebellion' suggests someone might take the life of such a bad student. But that seems too harsh. Almost everyone goes through a rebellious phase, so would everyone be killed?】

【The scenario's protagonist is male, and for the first time, the victim card is also male. Interesting.】

Most people don't know much about the scenarios, so there's little to discuss.

After some speculation, Ye Sangsang couldn't predict how the scenario would unfold, so she decided to stay vigilant.

Her arrival in the scenario was already near the end of the afternoon self-study period. Since it was Friday, the self-study session would end with a day and a half of vacation.

Classes would resume on Sunday night.

The scenario had some daily routines, so Ye Sangsang decided to go through them.

After packing her bag, she went to the internet cafe with a friend.

This was part of Zhou Xue's character. If she immediately went home to study, it would be a significant deviation from his persona.

She had to follow his usual routine before anything else could happen.

Sitting in front of the computer, Ye Sangsang looked at the online game, her gaze wandering.

It was 2009, a time when online gaming was just starting to flourish, and internet cafes were booming.

She looked at the somewhat blurry graphics and the thick screen, then, guided by the system, she turned on the computer.

After opening the game, she filled in the account information.

This step was unfamiliar to Ye Sangsang, as in 2035, computers mostly used facial recognition for account logins, and typing in an account was rare.

Soon, Ye Sangsang logged into the game.

Most of the viewers in the live broadcast were young, many born after 2009, so this sparked their curiosity.

After logging in, under the system's instructions, Ye Sangsang and her teammates started playing the game.

It was a game where you killed monsters to collect various ores and gold, called 'Dungeon Adventure.'

Ye Sangsang didn't dismiss the game as primitive but instead appreciated the fun of controlling the game, quickly becoming more proficient.

Just as she was getting immersed, a hand tapped her shoulder.

Removing her headphones, she turned to see a girl.

The girl had a fresh and lovely appearance, her pale skin glowing faintly in the dim light.

"Stop playing, it's tutoring time," the girl said softly, her voice like a gentle breeze.

Perhaps not often coming here, the girl fidgeted with her clothes, glancing around nervously, fearful of being noticed.

Ye Sangsang recalled Zhou Xue's attitude toward the girl, smiled, and placed the headphones on the desk.

"Okay."

She stood up.

"Ah! Zhou Xue, you're killing me! Leaving in the middle of a critical moment?"

Her deskmate's frustrated voice came from behind, but he didn't force her to stay.

Ye Sangsang shrugged at him. "Can't help it, I have to study."

"Study, study! Let me see a 985 university offer," the boy waved his hand, urging her to leave.

They were the type who played together but wouldn't stop others from studying.

Ye Sangsang turned off the computer, paid, and left.

The two found a nearby park, spread out their books, and started studying.

The girl's name was Zhao Xun, one of the top students in the class, known for her patience.

Ye Sangsang leaned on the table, pretending to study while Zhao Xun patiently explained.

As a notorious underachiever, studying was a tedious task, and despite her efforts, she soon lost focus, her legs twitching as she fought to stay awake.

Then, a sharp pain shot through her back, and Ye Sangsang straightened up immediately, wide awake.

Zhao Xun had pulled out a ruler from somewhere and smacked Ye Sangsang hard on the back.

Ye Sangsang sat upright and started studying properly.

【Haha, I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime.】

【Sangsang got smacked, and she can't fight back, haha.】

【Laughing so hard, she's the strict little teacher! Are they a couple?】

The live streaming room became lively, filled with laughter as viewers enjoyed the scene.

Ye Sangsang continued pretending to be a struggling learner, seeking help while wanting to slack off.

Zhao Xun was strict and unyielding, immediately correcting any misbehavior.

Ye Sangsang, knowing the answers, had to pretend she didn't, asking numerous questions.

Zhao Xun patiently explained each one.

After around two hours of study, it was almost dark. Ye Sangsang pulled out two hundred yuan from her bag and handed it to Zhao Xun.

"Thanks," she said coolly, placing the money on the table, slinging her bag onto her back, and leaving.

Zhao Xun didn't hesitate, pocketing the money and leaving as well.

Ye Sangsang took a taxi back to Zhou Xue's home.

As soon as she turned on the light, she was startled by someone on the sofa.

It was a woman, sitting quietly, who looked up as Ye Sangsang entered.

The woman glanced at her watch.

"Did you go to the internet cafe again?" the woman asked, frowning.

Ye Sangsang thought for a moment; she had indeed been to the internet cafe, so she nodded.

As a rebellious teenager, Zhou Xue would likely admit to it.

Teenagers at that age are very concerned about their image, and admitting to studying secretly would be shameful for them.

They might only reveal it when their grades improve, and their parents see the report card.

However, Ye Sangsang didn't expect the woman's face to instantly fill with extreme anger.

"Zhou Xue! You're truly hopeless! You're in high school now, yet you still don't think about studying and spend all your time with those hooligans... Can't you learn from your father's illegitimate child? You embarrass me so much that I can't even hold my head up..."

The woman's voice was sharp, her eyes fixed on Ye Sangsang as she stood up and ranted, her emotions reaching a breaking point.

The sudden outburst startled Ye Sangsang, who froze for a moment before lowering her head to listen.

After a while, hearing the rant continue, Ye Sangsang tugged at her bag strap and explained, "I didn't play for long today; I studied afterward. I'll work harder."

The woman's gaze wavered, uncertain.

"Really! You can ask my deskmate; I only played for half an hour before I went to study!"

She tried to explain and calm the situation down, even if it slightly deviated from the character's usual behavior, it still seemed reasonable.

The woman gave Ye Sangsang a puzzled glance and took out her phone to make a call.

Ye Sangsang was a bit puzzled herself. How did she have her desk mate's phone number, or even her desk mate's parent's phone number?

The call was quickly answered, and Ye Sangsang learned that it was indeed her desk mate's parent on the other end.

After confirming that what she said was true, the woman's mood calmed down.

As parents, she couldn't bring herself to apologize.

Ye Sangsang also didn't realize that an apology was needed.

Not understanding the meaning of this "dungeon," she could only muster her courage and return to the room.

The family was relatively well-off, and Zhou Xue had her own private room.

After placing her schoolbag on the desk, she prepared to go wash up.

She instinctively went to close the door, only to find that it couldn't be locked.

Did the door lock break?

Ye Sangsang had no choice but to opt for studying. She still needed to probe the situation of this dungeon, so she didn't skip many timelines.

Chinese parents of the Central Continent were usually reserved. Ye Sangsang quickly received fruit, milk, and a monetary allowance from the woman—a subtle form of apology.

Ye Sangsang gritted her teeth and continued to finish the remaining homework.

Skipping through the evening timeline, it quickly became daytime.

The level of peace in this dungeon exceeded Ye Sangsang's expectations.

This made her momentarily doubt whether she had accidentally entered some strange everyday life dungeon.

This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.

However, there were still some oddities about this dungeon. For instance, Zhou Xue's mom had quite a strong sense of control.

Ye Sangsang realized this was key but wasn't sure what it meant exactly.

After Zhou Xue's mom went to work, Ye Sangsang grabbed her schoolbag and headed to the park to continue her tutoring.

Zhou Xue and Zhao Xun's rate was 100 yuan per hour. Zhao Xun came from an ordinary family, so this money was quite important to her.

Thus, she tutored extremely seriously.

Standing next to Ye Sangsang, if he wasn't attentive, she would pull out a ruler and reprimand him.

Zhou Xue clearly wanted to study hard, so this rule was likely proposed by him.

The Saturday tutoring session lasted three hours. Ye Sangsang skipped the timeline and returned home after finishing.

Then came the weekend, and they had evening self-study, but that didn't interfere with daytime tutoring.

Zhao Xun still arrived on time, standing next to Ye Sangsang.

Ye Sangsang knew these problems, but now she had to pretend she didn't. So she had to grit her teeth and ask.

She looked up and inquired about junior high school knowledge points.

Zhao Xun wasn't surprised, her face revealing a slight helplessness. She leaned down slightly, pointed at the knowledge points with her finger, and told Ye Sangsang what to do.

At that moment, Ye Sangsang felt the sensation of being watched. She looked around.

Following her gaze, she soon heard the sound of someone moving among the distant foliage. She looked over and saw the tracker quickly hiding behind a tree.

Ye Sangsang frowned. Was it a perverted murderer?

She became alert, pretending not to notice anything and continued listening to Zhao Xun's explanation.

During this time, Ye Sangsang kept paying attention to her surroundings, but the tracker didn't appear again.

Ye Sangsang frowned, not understanding why.

【Someone's following me?】

【This feels like watching a spy drama.】

【This dungeon is really weird.】

Ye Sangsang took a deep breath, not quite understanding why the dungeon didn't shift to when the murderer made a move.

This dungeon's behavior probably had its reasons.

After some contemplation, Ye Sangsang decided to go along with the dungeon's flow.

After the tutoring session ended, Ye Sangsang and Zhao Xun parted ways again. The money Zhao Xun had earned during this time was enough to cover her tuition for the second year of high school.

So, as she left, Zhao Xun showed a rare smile, waving goodbye.

Ye Sangsang also politely waved back, smiling at Zhao Xun, and prepared to go home and tidy up before heading to school for evening self-study.

What puzzled Ye Sangsang was that there were frequent gazes lingering on her during this period.

But they quickly moved away, making her unable to find the source of the gaze.

She raised her doubts again; this dungeon was way too strange.

Soon, she arrived at her doorstep, taking out the keys to open the door.

But to her surprise, the door wasn't closed. She slowly pushed it open.

The door made no sound, only a gentle thud as it hit the wall.

She didn't speak, looking down at the doorway carpet, finding no signs of forced entry.

Was it that Zhou Xue's mom forgot to close the door?

Ye Sangsang walked in, full of doubts, her gaze quickly landing on the people in the living room.

There stood four or five burly men, their faces filled with ferocity, clearly no good people.

Ye Sangsang's expression immediately turned serious. Without hesitation, she turned and headed outside.

No matter what these people's intentions were, her current priority was to quickly leave.

She was quite baffled. What was this? Even if it was a home invasion and murder, it wasn't done so blatantly!

As for Zhou Xue's mom, she couldn't take care of that right now. Saving her own life was the priority.

She put on her slippers and rushed out the door.

Making a dash for it.

But before she could step out, a pair of burly men appeared at the door.

Seeing their muscular build, Ye Sangsang instinctively took a step back.

Before she could react, the burly men behind surrounded her.

She was completely encircled, looking very weak and helpless.
