"I'm going to a student's house for a lesson, that's why I'm carrying a textbook," Zhang Jing said frankly. However, Ren Yuanhao noticed something a bit odd.
"A student? But today isn't a weekend?"
"My student has congenital heart disease and has been at home for more than half a semester, so..."
"So you volunteered?"
"Yes, this child is quite pitiful. Although his parents have some money, they have very little time to accompany him."
Ren Yuanhao could understand. However, if his brother knew that Zhang Jing, with her family background, was doing this, he would likely scold her to no end.
"I didn't expect Miss Zhang to have such a kind heart. I was being overly suspicious. If that's the case, I'll be going now."
Just as Ren Yuanhao was about to leave, the system's mechanical tone suddenly chimed.
"A new order has been generated. Please hurry to the employer's designated location."
A cross-section map was completely presented in Ren Yuanhao's mind. The employer's location was not far from him!
"After the system upgrade, employers will appear in the map in a highlighted form, making it convenient for the host to keep track of the employer's dynamics."
Seeing Ren Yuanhao standing still, Zhang Jing couldn't help but wonder, "Young Master Ren? Lost in thought again?"
Ren Yuanhao suddenly snapped back to attention, scratching his head sheepishly. "Miss Zhang, are you going to that building?"
Ren Yuanhao pointed to a building that emerged after a narrow alley to the left, asking tentatively. He had a feeling this order was a bit strange, as it was rare for a designated meeting place to be an apartment building in a residential complex. Furthermore, with the newly upgraded cross-section map, he could tell that the employer hadn't moved. This made him think of the student with congenital heart disease...
"That's right, how did you know?" Zhang Jing seemed even more surprised than Ren Yuanhao, and immediately asked with a hint of surprise, "Could it be that Young Master Ren is also going there?"
Damn it, women's intuition is so strong! If things really are as I suspect, how will I explain it? And it's this little girl's student, so the age...
Ren Yuanhao felt a terrible headache. In all the orders he had received so far, there had been no minors. If the employer turned out to be a kid, it would be absolutely awkward!
"Yes, I was just about to go there too. What a coincidence."
Fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead. Zhang Jing also looked at him strangely before smiling gently, "In that case, it's a rare opportunity to walk alongside Young Master Ren."
Ren Yuanhao gave an awkward smile, and he had a premonition that Zhang Jing would soon ask about Zhou Lin.
"Young Master Ren is quite the ladies' man. I suppose you've found another girl, haven't you?"
"How is Zhou Lin doing?"
Ren Yuanhao avoided the question and instead turned the conversation to Zhou Lin, which was the mark of a shrewd person.
"She's doing very well. The current Zhou Lin is more confident than before. After being dumped by you, this playboy, she didn't fall into despair. Instead, she devoted herself to her studies, achieved excellent grades, and is now youthful and beautiful. There are countless people pursuing her."
As Zhang Jing spoke, she simply stared at the unfazed Ren Yuanhao, her eyebrows slightly raised, seeming to be more curious about this mysterious man.
"She's a good girl. It's right that someone like me isn't worthy of her," Ren Yuanhao mumbled casually and then asked, "Which floor are you going to?"
"The sixth floor, and you?"
After quickly scanning the map in his mind, Ren Yuanhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to the fifth floor. It's close. I'll come find you again if there's a chance later."
Ren Yuanhao pressed the elevator door and very gentlemanly sent Zhang Jing in, then pressed buttons for the fifth and sixth floors. His face relaxed, and he thought, thankfully, it wasn't the same person.
Soon, Ren Yuanhao bid her farewell and stepped onto the fifth floor. The occupancy rate of this building was very low. As soon as he entered the floor, Ren Yuanhao felt a wave of Yin energy wash over him. The moisture on the walls seemed not yet dry, and his footsteps sounded particularly heavy in the empty corridor.
What kind of person would choose such a gloomy place?
Ren Yuanhao couldn't help but raise his guard. In a flash, he found himself standing outside the employer's door. He raised his hand, feeling a strange sense of trepidation.
"Didi, are you scared?"
"Hey, System Sister, don't you think something is strange?"
"Strange? Perhaps, but aren't you in a hurry for money? Once the arrow is loosed, there's no turning back. No matter how bizarre the task, you'll have to grit your teeth and do it."
"Yes, yes, after all, money is paramount."
"Alright, employer information has been recorded and is being sent. Employer name: Yin Shili. Age: 27. Occupation: Unknown. Relationship history: Unknown. Danger index: Three stars!"
"What does that mean? What is this danger index?" Ren Yuanhao had a premonition of something ominous.
"It means exactly what it says. As for what kind of danger, the system has not yet unmasked the employer, so it cannot analyze or inform you."
Holy crap, I'm not going to run into a murderer who steals corpses and sells joints, am I! Ren Yuanhao's hand had been raised for about a minute when, at that moment, the doorknob suddenly made a creaking sound. Ren Yuanhao instinctively retracted his hand and saw a pair of faint, green eyes peering through the slightly opened door!
"Wh-what a handsome young man~ Are you the Didi Matchmaking service representative?"
Because the room was too dark, with no lights on and the curtains completely drawn, Ren Yuanhao couldn't see the person's face clearly. It felt like a cat lurking in the dark, ready to pounce with sharp claws and tear him to shreds at any moment! Although Ren Yuanhao was muttering to himself, he couldn't show any displeasure on his face.
"Hello, I am the Didi Matchmaking service representative, Ren Yuanhao. May I ask, are you Miss Yin Shili?"
The person seemed to be extremely afraid of light and hid behind the door as it opened, creating a large enough space for Ren Yuanhao to enter conveniently.
"Yes, I am. Please come in. And please forgive me, I was born with 'vampire disease' in my mother's womb and have been photosensitive since childhood, so you don't need to be afraid."
In fact, almost everyone fears the dark, because in the dark, one cannot perceive everything through their eyes; everything exists as an unknown. Demons and evil spirits also like to dwell in darkness, so darkness has also become synonymous with evil.
Ren Yuanhao braced himself and walked into the house. If Yin Shili hadn't grabbed his sleeve, he would have easily bumped into some cold objects. Ten seconds later, led by the woman, he entered the living room. Looking around, everything was shrouded in darkness. Even the indicator lights on some home appliances were covered with thick tape.
This feeling was awful, like stepping into a deep, dark cave, where evil creatures lurking in the gloomy corners had already sharpened their claws...
