Chapter 52 Mission Countdown

Jiang Yuan gazed expectantly at the virtual golden card.

The glowing card flipped over, revealing "East Coast Villa Building 8".

Jiang Yuan blinked and murmured, "Is this true?"

She couldn't believe her eyes, couldn't believe that happiness had come so suddenly.

[System 009: Ms. Jiang, congratulations on winning the prize! You have won "East Coast Villa Building No. 8". A specialist will be arranged to handle the transfer procedures for you shortly.]

Jiang Yuan felt like she was dreaming.

wrong.

She wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

The East Coast Villas is a newly developed villa area in Yunjing. It took three years to build and is even more luxurious than the North Bay Villas. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy one.

If it's true, then...

[System 009: Ms. Jiang, rest assured, it's absolutely true. You have one more chance to win a prize. Would you like to use it now?]

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yuan looked at Danzi, a pleased smile curving her lips and her eyes crinkling into crescents, her eyes beaming with joy.

"Keep it, we won't use it for now."

That way you can be happy twice.

Egg Boy keenly sensed her good mood.

“Yuan Yuan, you seem very happy!” it asked.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe I can tell you some good news in a couple of days."

She was talking to Egg Boy when a voice suddenly came from behind her, "That lady from earlier..."

Jiang Yuan wasn't sure if the other person was calling her, but she still turned around and looked. It was the caregiver who had been treating the tabby dog's wounds earlier.

She blinked in confusion. "Are you calling me?"

"Yes." The caregiver nodded, looking embarrassed. "I don't know your name, but my colleague has a dog that's being very uncooperative. Could you go over and talk to it?"

He had actually tried communicating with the dog using Jiang Yuan's method, but it didn't work.

It might be because he's not good-looking enough.

Jiang Yuan readily agreed: "Sure."

She sent Danzi back to the kennel and had him go with the caretaker to calm the dog down.

In the cramped medical room, a black dog covered in whip marks twisted wildly, trying to break free of its leash, growling and scratching the ground with its paws.

Several caregivers, hearing from the young man that Jiang Yuan could turn vicious dogs into Hakimi with just a few words, stood guard at the door with a mixture of skepticism and curiosity.

With Jiang Yuan's arrival, the five black dogs visibly calmed down under her gentle soothing words...

The nurses all looked astonished.

"They actually made the five black dogs behave so easily?"

"That's amazing! A natural dog trainer!"

"So excellent..."

Jiang Yuan left modestly amidst the praise.

It was getting late, and Deng Rui had already sent her two WeChat messages asking what time she would be home.

Jiang Yuan was about to leave the animal protection organization when she happened to run into Ning Jianian at the door.

He wasn't wearing a hat today, and his gradient purple hair was particularly eye-catching.

Jiang Yuan recognized him entirely by his eyes; he had a mole on his right eyebrow.

When Ning Jianian saw her, her eyes lit up, her brows furrowed with gratitude, and her voice was filled with emotion: "It's you! Thank you! I've found Xiaozhi!"

He was tall and slender, and solemnly bowed deeply.

"It's good that we found it." Jiang Yuan's voice was calm. She asked again, "Is it badly injured?" Ning Jianian straightened up and frowned. "It has several wounds from being whipped, but compared to other injured dogs, it's considered minor."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "If you have time, take Xiao Zhi to the vet for a full check-up so it can recover properly. I'll be going now."

After saying that, without waiting for a response, she strode toward the exit with her long, slender legs.

Ning Jianian gazed at the girl's slender back, hesitant to speak.

At 2 a.m., Jiang Yuan returned home and was changing her shoes in the entryway when her phone screen suddenly lit up.

After she unlocked her phone, she saw that Ning Jianian had transferred 200,000 yuan to her via WeChat.

Jiang Yuan's gaze lingered on the transferred amount for about a minute. She tapped the screen, returning the money, and quickly typed a message: "Donate this money to an animal protection organization."

The pet hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Ning Jianian accompanied Xiao Zhi as he received an anti-inflammatory injection. He squatted down beside him, looking up at the drops of medicine falling, when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate.

He took out his phone, unlocked it, and saw Jiang Yuan's reply, his expression slightly taken aback.

**
Two days later, Jiang Yuan received a call from a staff member of the East Coast Villas, who scheduled an appointment with her to complete the transfer procedures for Villa No. 8.

Holding the newly issued property certificate, Jiang Yuan felt as if she had escaped the constraints of gravity, her whole body floating, as if she were walking on soft, fluffy clouds, a dreamlike experience.

That villa, worth a billion, somehow became an asset under her name.

However, the system notification suddenly sounded at that moment.

[System 009: Task countdown: 48 hours. Please complete the task as soon as possible.]

task?

Jiang Yuan slowly frowned, racking her brains to think of any tasks that hadn't been completed.

A moment later, she slightly raised her eyes and remembered.

The day before Lunar New Year's Eve, the system issued a task for her to assist the police in finding the murderer.

Jiang Yuan returned home and put the property certificate into a drawer in her room.

She hadn't figured out how to tell her family about this wonderful news yet.

Jiang Yuan sat on the sofa next to Blueberry and Xixi, repeatedly unlocking her phone, her gaze falling on Si Heng's WeChat profile picture, hesitating whether to send him a message.

Just as she was about to put her phone down, the screen suddenly lit up, showing a call from Si Heng.

She immediately answered the phone and said loudly, "Hello, Captain Si."

A deep male voice came through the receiver, "Ms. Jiang, are you home?"

"Yes! I'm home!" Jiang Yuan's tone held a hint of expectation. "Is there a case you need my help with?"

Hearing her words, Si Heng's tone softened a bit, "Yes, it's right across from your neighborhood. You can see the police car as soon as you walk out."

"Okay, I'll be right down!" Jiang Yuan jumped up, grabbed a coat from her room, and hurried out the door.

Blueberry and Xixi watched her departing figure, and for some reason felt like they had been banished to the cold palace.

Jiang Yuan ran quickly to the entrance of the residential area, crossed the zebra crossing to the opposite residential building, and saw a police car parked in front of a fruit shop not far away.

"Miss Jiang!" Meng Xiaokai was looking around when he saw Jiang Yuan and immediately waved to greet her, "Over here."

As Jiang Yuan approached, he explained with a smile, "The boss asked me to come down and pick you up."

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yuan smiled slightly. "Let's go then."

As she walked further in, she vaguely felt that these paths were somewhat familiar, as if she had been here before.

Upon entering the elevator car, Meng Xiaokai raised his hand and pressed the button for the fourth floor.

Jiang Yuan stared at the number, her gaze slightly narrowed.

She remembered that she had accompanied Jinjin here that day to find her mistress.

Quite a coincidence.

Thank you Dino for the monthly pass, muah!
