Chapter 305: Chapter 220: Jiang Ning and Xingzhou Boost Performance (Two in One)_3

She relies on System tasks to extend her life, Qi Xingzhou relies on tasks to earn Merit Points to cure his illness, nothing is more important than completing tasks!

With clear objectives, Jiang Ning drives while Qi Xingzhou sits by her side, listening attentively as Jiang Ning educates him on the national criminal law and various other legal regulations.

After locating their target for the task, the two abandon the car and set out on foot.

When they encounter a fugitive murderer who had been on the run for sixteen years coming out to buy water, Jiang Ning doesn’t hesitate and immediately rushes over to give him a tight hug.

Among the actions of passersby who were all dodging away, several large golden retrievers were the first to dash out, biting the man’s clothes and elbow and even snatching the bag from his body and running off with it to one side.

In the end, Qi Xingzhou calls the police, and after the officers arrive, a check of the man’s identity reveals that his ID card is actually fake. Using facial recognition, they discover that he is actually a notorious wanted murderer!

And in the bag taken by the golden retrievers, aside from some of his personal documents prepared for a quick escape, there were actually three sharp fruit knives!

If the golden retrievers had not taken the bag from the man, those three fruit knives could have become the most dangerous weapons in his hands!

The man is successfully taken away by the police for investigation.

...

The two head to a restaurant for lunch, and while waiting for their meal, Jiang Ning goes to look for the restroom and accidentally enters the restaurant’s kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, the floor is so dirty its original color is unrecognizable, with wilted, spoiled vegetables carelessly shoved into a corner. Meat that is not fresh is placed to one side, with flies buzzing around it.

The stove and cutting board are even worse, with years of grime stickily clinging to them, and the exhaust hood hanging on the wall covered in stains is so dirty that drops of oil occasionally fall from above directly into the pots of food.

Mops and brooms are soaking in filthy bloody water along with thawed frozen packaged foods.

Qi Xingzhou, following behind Jiang Ning, lifts his phone with the camera already turned on without any expression.

Jiang Ning’s expression is exaggerated as she points and exclaims, "Oh my God!!! Is this really how you run a restaurant?!"

Her voice immediately attracts the attention of customers who are either dining outside or waiting for their food.

After a scene of chaos, the police quickly arrive.

The restaurant is sealed off, and the business owner is taken back to the station for investigation.

...

Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou didn’t get their lunch, leaving their stomachs growling.

The two no longer trust the merchants’ ingredients and decide to buy some fresh ones to prepare themselves.

They drive to the seafood market, and then: seafood priced at 60 yuan per jin costs them 150 yuan, but when they pour out the contents of the bag, there’s only one and a half jin of seafood.

Jiang Ning puts on a naive and sweet smile, taking Qi Xingzhou around to each seafood store to make purchases.

Qi Xingzhou, who follows behind silently carrying bags, eagerly pays the money, playing the role of the generous fool.

After going around the shops, the vendors are all smiles, and so is Jiang Ning, with a Little Bear hair clip pinned to her clothes.

Jiang Ning, satisfied with her haul, picks up her phone to make a call: "Hello? Yes, I’d like to report the Q city seafood market..."

Within ten minutes, the market regulation authorities hastily arrive, with Jiang Ning pulling out her monitoring device and demonstrating to everyone the vendors’ deceptive scales.

The vendors have nothing to say, their stalls are shut down, closed for good, and all related personnel are taken back for investigation.

System: [...]

[I’m tired of announcing! Host, check the details yourself later!]

Jiang Ning laughs, her eyes curving into a smile, as she casually makes an OK gesture, unconcerned.

She and Qi Xingzhou leave the seafood market.

As the two pass through an alley, they chance upon a group of thugs robbing a girl. Jiang Ning’s ears perk, and she moves closer, pulling out a flat-bottomed pan from her backpack and slamming it onto one of the thug’s heads.

With a "clang," the thug falls to his knees.

The rescued girl clutches her backpack, her large eyes wide and welling up with tears as she looks at them, her face still wearing an expression of shock and fear that hadn’t yet dissipated.

Jiang Ning gently reassures her with a quiet voice.

Qi Xingzhou deftly takes out his phone and calls the police, used to this routine.

Ten minutes later, police cars arrive, taking the thug who had been released just that morning back into custody.
