Chapter 473: Chapter 381 Qiu Yongfei’s Sister

Just when Qiu Yongfei was feeling unbearable pain, he received a message from Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning: How can I help you?

Qiu Yongfei was startled, and before he could gather his thoughts, large tears fell onto the screen, instantly blurring the clear text.

Qiu Yongfei quickly wiped his phone on his clothes, cleaning the screen.

While he was wiping it, Jiang Ning sent over two more messages.

Jiang Ning: Do you have a photo of your sister and a missing person notice there?

Jiang Ning: Send them to me, and I’ll try posting them on TikTok to see if the netizens have any clues.

That was actually why Qiu Yongfei wanted Jiang Ning’s help; with tens of millions of followers on TikTok, she was followed by countless users. The impact of her updating a single TikTok post was something Qiu Yongfei could never match, even if he spent his whole life making videos.

Qiu Yongfei quickly wiped away the tears overflowing from his eyes and hastily replied to Jiang Ning.

Qiu Yongfei: Thank you thank you thank you

Qiu Yongfei: I’ll send you the picture of my sister and her missing information right away!

Jiang Ning sat on the couch, waiting for Qiu Yongfei’s information.

Soon, she saw the photo of Qiu Yongfei’s sister.

Qiu Yongfei grew up in a poor family. In 2006, his family was still using an old landline phone, and cameras and cell phones were luxuries. Naturally, they didn’t have full-moon or first-birthday photos.

Fortunately, his uncle, who worked out of town, bought a small Nokia phone that could function as a flashlight and a camera when he returned home for the New Year. Everyone found it extremely novel.

The uncle took many photos of the adults and children in the family with the phone, including a photo of Qiu Yongfei and his sister.

After the sister went missing, Qiu Yongfei’s family immediately had these precious few photos printed out.

The photos Qiu Yongfei now sent to Jiang Ning were all of Qiu Yuning when she was three years old during the New Year festivities. Soon after the New Year, she was kidnapped by human traffickers.

The old, faded photo showed a little girl wrapped up like a big round zongzi, fair and chubby, smiling with her eyes curved towards the camera. She stood confidently, unafraid of the spotlight. Even at such a young age, one could faintly tell the child had unusually beautiful features and would certainly become a gorgeous young lady when she grew up.

Jiang Ning flipped through Qiu Yuning’s photos and the missing person’s notice without hearing any noise from the System in her mind.

It seemed she had to take the initiative to summon it.

Jiang Ning: "System? If you’re there, chirp once."

System: [Chirp.]

Jiang Ning: "Can you locate Qiu Yuning?"

The System scanned briefly: [Host, she has no criminal record.]

Implied was that only when a suspect appeared in front of Jiang Ning would the System inform her about their information.

Jiang Ning said: "But she is a victim."

[The identity of a victim cannot be defined by bystanders but should be defined by the victim themselves.]

Jiang Ning was stunned by the System’s sudden statement. She frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

[Let’s put it this way: Justice has long arms and leaves no stone unturned. I always proactively provide you with the information of criminal suspects because they have committed, or are committing, heinous acts in the past or present, and they deserve to be punished by the law. Victims, however, do not.]

Jiang Ning understood.

It’s no wonder that every time the System reminded her, it was information about a crime suspect. She originally thought it was because she was dealing with such people.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the result of the System’s selection.

In the missions released by the System, there was only personal information of crime suspects, never that of the victims.

This was because, once a person committed a crime, they must receive legal punishment without any preconditions.

But if someone was hurt by others in life and wanted to be protected by the law, there was one condition: they had to call 110.

When the System saw the chat history between Jiang Ning and Qiu Yongfei, it said, "She’s not a crime suspect, her information is protected by privacy, and even the System cannot casually check other bipeds’ personal information."

In other words, give up on that thought.

However, Jiang Ning heard a sliver of another possibility in these words.

"What if I really want to see it? Is there another way?" Jiang Ning opened the System Mall, scrolling up and down: "There’s so much stuff in the mall, is there anything for finding people?"

System: [...Does the Host really want to check?]

Jiang Ning: "Check!"

System: [Checking a non-crime suspect for the first time will cost 100 Merit Points.]

Jiang Ning: "..."

So, something that could be solved with a hundred Merit Points, and the System dragged it out that much with her?

Jiang Ning pulled up her personal account.

Jiang Ning had completed quite a few missions lately, especially the last cyber fraud case and this time at the maternal and child health hospital, dozens of people, just the rewards of Merit Points alone amounted to more than three thousand, not to mention the other intermittent missions she had done before.

Now, Jiang Ning had nearly five thousand Merit Points in total; a hundred Merit Points to her were like a light drizzle.

Jiang Ning asked, "After checking, when will the results come out?"

[Estimated ten minutes.]

"Good, check it then."

Jiang Ning said so, and while waiting for the System’s result, she saved all the photos Qiu Yongfei sent her onto her phone.

Before publishing her work, Jiang Ning asked Qiu Yongfei another question: Which one is your Douyin account?

At this time, Qiu Yongfei was no longer sitting by the roadside; he was slowly walking back the way he came along the sandy road.

After sending Jiang Ning the photos and missing person notice, he stopped crying and quickly readjusted his emotions.

He needed to hurry back to his accommodation to pack up and then continue searching for news about his sister in Q City.

He was still so young, only twenty years old, and his sister was only sixteen or seventeen this year. As long as he kept searching, he was sure that one day he would find her.

When he saw Jiang Ning asking for his Douyin account, Qiu Yongfei immediately sent it over, and the next second, he saw a pop-up message appear at the top of his phone: Douyin user Jiang Ning has posted a new update and mentioned you, open Douyin and share it with your friends—

Jiang Ning... posted on Douyin already?

Qiu Yongfei’s breath caught, and he stood still, immediately opening the Douyin notification, which automatically redirected him to Jiang Ning’s Douyin post that she had just published a second ago.

Jiang Ning: I’ve been working at Huo’s these days, thanks everyone for the concern. Please pay more attention to this missing person notice. If you have any clues, you can post them in the comments or contact @FindSisterQiuYuning, thanks again everyone!

Even though she had just posted it, by the time Qiu Yongfei opened it, 5G-surfing netizens had already rushed in to like it.
