011 Although He Looks Fierce, He Gives Off a Gentle Feeling...
Zeng Keqin watched that figure disappear from sight before turning back to the dorm.
She felt... he was a bit strange.
Whatever, none of her business.
As soon as she pushed the door open, a can of Coke was tossed her way. Zeng Keqin caught it reflexively, followed by Wang Chunyue's excited voice—
"Qinqin, Officer Wang just called! He said the suspect in the game scam case has been identified. Turns out it's a shady online game company. Their business model is hiring salespeople to get people to top up for high commissions. Victims like Xiaoyu are all over the country, and a special task force has been set up. They believe they'll catch them soon!"
Fang Yu sat on the bed, her expression not happy. "It's all because I'm too stupid to be scammed. I made you all worry."
Zeng Keqin walked over and sat beside her. "Actually, you shouldn't blame yourself too much. The scammer took advantage of you because you care too much and are too kind. Someone else might not have even accepted the friend request."
Liu Ying agreed. "Yeah, a heartless person like me definitely wouldn't!"
Wang Chunyue raised her hand solemnly. "I confess, I also care too much and am easily fooled. Please, let some handsome guy come and fool my feelings!"
Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh through her tears.
The dorm instantly filled with cheerful laughter, and the oppressive atmosphere in the air vanished.
Zeng Keqin washed up and lay in bed.
In the darkness, she began to review the leads she'd gotten that day. Although the amount of information was quite large, at least they were good news.
But one thing suddenly struck her.
The makeup in that photo didn't match her usual style.
She took out her phone and opened the photo album, scrolling through from the school anniversary party, event photos, to daily selfies...
As she scrolled, her eyelids grew heavier.
The next day, Zeng Keqin was woken by her alarm. She picked up her phone: nine o'clock.
It had been a long time since she slept until this hour.
She stretched and got out of bed. The dorm was empty, sunlight streaming through the window, casting tiny halos on the floor.
What a nice day.
The contract dispute case Lawyer Zou had assigned—her opinion letter wasn't good enough. Since it was the last day of the weekend, she could go to the library to look up materials and get more familiar with it.
She tied her hair into a ponytail, put on an apricot-colored blouse and jeans, slung her canvas bag over her shoulder, and headed out.
At the cafeteria, she ate two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.
Arriving at the library, she picked up relevant books and started reading intently.
Actually, from the beginning, she had little interest in rote memorization of legal texts.
Until she watched a brilliant civil litigation court session. The plaintiff's chances of winning seemed slim, but relying on the lawyer's professional knowledge, they fought for the rights they deserved.
From that moment, she suddenly realized that no matter how rigid the laws, if you master them, you can also protect the vulnerable.
Before she knew it, the sun was setting.
Her phone on the table suddenly vibrated. She glanced at it—
[The Arrogant Redhead]
What did he want?
Zeng Keqin answered. "Hello?"
But a strange man's voice came from the other end. "Come to Meise KTV, Room 1688."
"Who is this?"
"Beep, beep, beep—"
The other side hung up.
Zeng Keqin froze for a second, then called back.
"The number you have dialed is powered off."
She frowned slowly.
How did Jiang Shiyu's phone end up with someone else? And that Meise KTV...
The name alone didn't sound like a proper place.
Her instinct told her not to go.
But if she didn't go, and something happened to Jiang Shiyu, could she live with herself as if nothing happened?
The answer was no.
She forced herself to calm down and quickly searched for the address of Meise KTV. It was about three kilometers from the south gate of the school.
Since they dared to tell her the location, it meant they weren't afraid of her calling the police, which proved Jiang Shiyu wasn't in immediate danger.
She sent a message to Wang Chunyue: [I'm going somewhere now. If you don't hear from me in half an hour, call the police. Address: Meise KTV, Room 1688.]
Wang Chunyue replied instantly: [??? What are you going there for?]
