Chapter 44 Life-saving grace
Si Heng led the team on this call.

Jiang Yuan walked up to him, frowned, and said, "Captain Si, Mary is injured. I need to take them to the hospital for treatment first, and then go to the police station to make a statement later, is that alright?"

Mary?

Si Heng looked at the two little birds in her arms, "Which one is Mary?"

Jiang Yuan pointed to one of the slightly larger birds.

"What's the other one's name?" Si Heng asked.

Jiang Yuan shook her head. "I don't know its name yet."

How could anyone not be moved? A complete stranger, a bird, risked its life to save her.

Si Heng nodded: "I wish them a speedy recovery."

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan looked at the man's deep-set eyes. "Then I'll be going now."

"Miss Jiang, wait a minute." Si Heng suddenly called out to her.

Jiang Yuan thought he disagreed with her taking Mary and the others to get treatment first, and a hint of displeasure appeared between her delicate brows and eyes.

She turned around and heard the man's gentle voice, "Are you hurt?"

Jiang Yuan immediately composed herself and shook her head, saying, "Without them, I might have gotten hurt."

"Yuan Yuan." Jiang Die, who had gone upstairs to get her car keys, had already driven the car over.

"I'm leaving now." Jiang Yuan walked quickly towards the red BMW.

Fortunately, Mary and the other sparrow were not seriously injured.

"Although the situation isn't particularly serious, they are currently unable to eat on their own and need nutritional injections. They'll be kept in incubators for the next few days..."

Stepping out of the pet hospital, Jiang Yuan finally felt relieved.

She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, "Sister, they were injured while saving me."

Jiang Die suppressed her surprise and gently comforted them, "They are so brave. The doctor said they will be fine in a few days, so don't blame yourself too much."

"Yes." Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do we still need to go to the police station?" Jiang Die asked softly.

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes."

Inside the red BMW, Jiang Die gripped the steering wheel, hesitating whether or not she should speak.

Jiang Yuan gazed at the receding night outside the car window and slowly said, "I found a body in Blue Bay Park a while ago."

Jiang Die turned her head and glanced at her in surprise.

Jiang Yuan continued, "I called the police, and they found out that the murderer was the son of that person."

Jiang Die's grip on the steering wheel tightened suddenly, her voice agitated: "So, he thinks you're the one who harmed his son and wants revenge on you?"

"Mm." Jiang Yuan nodded.

Jiang Die's usually gentle eyes flashed with anger: "She's gone mad!"

"There are so many sick people in this world," Jiang Yuan sighed.

Wasn't she the same way before?

Police station.

Si Heng learned from Jiang Yuan's statement that Xu Decai had been secretly watching her for a long time, and had even tried to harm her once.

"Why didn't you call the police?" The man's handsome face was serious.

Jiang Yuan said calmly, "He suddenly rushed up and chased after me, but he didn't pull out a dagger. He chased me for half the chase and then left..."

"Jiang Yuan, you're too carefree," Si Heng said, frowning.

She met the man's slightly displeased gaze, her thoughts suddenly drifting, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Captain Si, have you encountered any particularly tricky murder cases recently?"

Si Heng: "..."

The topic jumped so quickly that he didn't even have time to react. Before leaving, Jiang Yuan said to Si Heng, "If you need any help, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll give you a discount on consultation fees—a friendly price."

Si Heng found it amusing and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Are we friends?"

"Doesn't that count?" Jiang Yuan blinked and said matter-of-factly, "I even have your WeChat Moments, aren't we friends?"

The man's smile deepened in his dark eyes, and his thin lips moved slightly: "It's settled."

**
New Year’s Eve arrived as scheduled.

Jiang Yuan was sleeping soundly in bed when she suddenly heard the system issuing a task.

[System 009: Random quest triggered—Gather the gratitude of ten small animals. Quest reward: 2 random lottery draws. Quest failure: Random storyline trigger.]

Jiang Yuan opened her sleepy eyes, feeling extremely confused.

How can you secretly send me a task while I'm sleeping?
[System 009: You overslept!]

Momo stood at the doorway, pushed it open a crack, and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, Grandma asked me to come and wake you up."

"Okay, Momo, Auntie knows." Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and struggled to get out of bed.

After having brunch, she was recalling the new task the system had just issued when she suddenly heard her phone ring.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Zhou Shuyu.

She answered the call, "Ms. Zhou?"

A woman's voice came through the receiver: "Ms. Jiang, have I disturbed your rest?"

"No, not at all." Jiang Yuan chuckled. "Is there something you need, Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Shuyu smiled and said, "Yes, I would like to send Miss Jiang some New Year's gifts to thank you for saving my life."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Miss Zhou, please don't be so polite. It was just a small favor. Besides, I've already accepted what I was supposed to receive."

“That 500,000 is to thank you for helping me find the lost gold bars and necklace; they shouldn’t be confused.” Zhou Shuyu’s tone was extremely sincere. “Miss Jiang, please give me a chance to repay your kindness.”

Since that's the case, Jiang Yuan didn't refuse any longer. "Then come to my house and sit for a while?"

"Okay," Zhou Shuyu replied happily. "When is a convenient time for you?"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan told her family that some friends were coming over in the afternoon.

Deng Rui was somewhat surprised: "Besides Xiaoxiao, do you have any other friends?"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Is it polite to ask such a question?
But upon closer reflection, it seems that only Fu Xiaoxiao is truly sincere towards her.

Others outwardly claim to be her friends, but they always secretly mock her for pretending to be a socialite when she is actually poor.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Deng Rui stopped poking her in the ribs.

In the afternoon, Deng Rui took her three furry dogs downstairs to sunbathe and chat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got downstairs, I saw Cao Laoting raise her thick leg and kick the little black dog hard.

As she kicked, she cursed, "I'll kick you to death, you bastard! How dare you steal my food! And you even dare to bark at me! I'll kick you to death today!"

Seeing this, Deng Rui clenched her fists, her face turned ashen, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Cao Laoting, you've eaten shit! You're actually abusing a puppy!"

Cao Laoting spat out a mouthful of sunflower seeds and said sarcastically, "Oh, why are you so angry? I didn't kick your dog!"

Deng Rui was furious. "What did the dog do to you?"

Cao Laoting sneered, "That bastard stole my food! I said a few words to it, and it dared to bark at me!"

The little black dog hid under the stone table, whimpering, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't steal any food!"

Blueberry quickly explained to Xixi and Xiaobai, "Remember this, it's this old hag who's always bullying our family!"

Xixi glared fiercely at Cao Laoting: "You old hag! You're so wicked, abusing a puppy!"

Little White gritted its teeth: "Little White is angry! Little White is going to bite her!"
