Great, It’s the Pervy Neighbor. We’re Doomed

Jiang Ran completed the passport application process quite quickly.

However, it would take 7 to 15 working days to actually receive the passport.

While riding his electric bike back to Alice Apartment after finishing the application, he wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

He saw the original body's ex-girlfriend, Shen Xing.

Of course, seeing Shen Xing wasn't particularly strange - what was strange was that Shen Xing seemed to be pregnant.

Her lower abdomen appeared slightly swollen.

Of course, it was just a fleeting glimpse, so Jiang Ran couldn't confirm for sure.

The person Jiang Ran saw with the slightly swollen lower abdomen was indeed Shen Xing.

She had come out to buy groceries at the supermarket.

After finishing her shopping, she drove back to the large flat where Zhou Wu's mother lived. Shen Xing opened the door to find Zhou Wu's mother, Zhou Wu's younger sister Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan's boyfriend Li Miguo, and Li Miguo's classmate Jimmy inside.

Currently, the shares and other inheritance from Zhou Wu's father hadn't been formally transferred to Zhou Wu's mother and Zhou Yan yet.

Why?

Because they were still considered missing persons.

Zhou Wu and his father had been missing for less than three months combined.

According to Hua Country's laws, declaring someone missing requires them to be unaccounted for for two full years.

And declaring someone dead requires four years.

Therefore, the shares and other inheritance hadn't been formally transferred to these two individuals yet. Get full chapters from NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Although not formally transferred, it was almost the same in practice, since they could still receive dividends and other payments.

After Shen Xing returned, she took the groceries she had bought and went into the kitchen to start cooking.

Of course, she was doing this voluntarily, because she wanted to perform well and become the virtuous wife and good mother in Zhou Wu's mother's eyes.

Even though her fiancé Zhou Wu had disappeared.

Meanwhile, in the living room.

Zhou Yan sat on the sofa and suddenly asked Zhou's mother: "Mom, what's the current situation at the Textile Factory? I heard it's in chaos again?"

Zhou's mother sighed and said: "After your father disappeared, although the factory was left without a leader, the shareholders quickly elected one shareholder to serve as temporary chairman. That shareholder was quite capable and was also one of your father's better friends."

"Originally, he was doing quite well as temporary chairman, but then something bizarre happened - can you believe it? Something strange occurred."

"His son suddenly disappeared!"

"And he only had that one son!"

"So now his mind isn't on work at all - he and his wife are putting all their energy into finding their son!!!!"

When Zhou Yan heard this, her delicate eyebrows furrowed: "Really? His son disappeared too?"

Zhou's mother nodded: "It's definitely true - how could anyone joke about something like this?"

"So now, the position of temporary chairman is vacant again."

Zhou Yan said: "No problem, with the position empty, plenty of people will surely step up to fill it."

Zhou's mother shook her head with a bitter smile: "Don't say that - surprisingly, no one is willing to step up."

Zhou Yan found this unbelievable: "How is that possible? Really?"

Zhou's mother said: "Your father disappeared first, then your brother disappeared afterwards."

"Everyone at the Textile Factory knows about this."

"Alive but unseen, dead but no corpse found."

"And then, this person whose son disappeared - before he became temporary chairman, his family was perfectly fine."

"But then shortly after he became temporary chairman, his son disappeared."

"So now among the factory's shareholders and mid-to-high-level management, especially among the shareholders, there's a rumor circulating that whoever takes the chairman position will have bad luck."

"They think that position is unlucky and prone to accidents. There might be something wrong with it."

"They've already found a master and are preparing to bring him in to take a look."

After hearing this, Li Miguo suddenly laughed: "No way, what era are we living in now? Still so superstitious?"

Zhou's mother glanced at him and said: "Nowadays, many wealthy people are quite superstitious, while many ordinary people are staunch materialists."

Zhou Yan asked: "Mom? Are you superstitious then?"

Zhou's mother's face was full of gravity, especially when thinking about this question - the many wrinkles on her face seemed to become deeper and more numerous when compressed by her expression.

"I was fine before, but now, with your father and your brother having incidents one after another, I... have also started to believe in these things somewhat."

"Forget it."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's not talk about it. You all sit here, I'm going to help Xiao Xing with the cooking."

After speaking, Zhou's mother stood up and walked into the kitchen, closing the kitchen door behind her.

Clearly, she didn't want to continue discussing such sad matters.

Now only Zhou Yan, Li Miguo, and Jimmy remained in the living room.

Zhou Yan then asked Jimmy: "Jimmy, you said last time you would help us find detectives - it's been so long, have you found any?"

Jimmy said: "I found one - a three-person detective team, but they're currently abroad."

Zhou Yan frowned: "Abroad? Didn't I say I wanted to find Hua Country detectives?"

Jimmy said: "They are Hua Country people, it's just that their current commission is overseas."

Zhou Yan asked: "Then how much does this three-person detective team charge?"

Jimmy said: "One million Hua yuan per person, three million Hua yuan total for three people."

When Zhou Yan heard this, she felt these three people charged much cheaper than Mike.

After all, Mike charged 1 million USD, which was 7 million Hua yuan.

Zhou Yan continued asking: "Then is this three-person team reliable?"

When Jimmy heard this, he immediately didn't know how to respond.

Last time, the American detective Mike they hired was among the top ten detectives in America.

Yet Zhou Yan said he was no good, unreliable.

The other party didn't take a single cent of the money and just left.

Even now Jimmy still felt sorry toward Mike.

After Mike returned to America, Jimmy contacted Mike by phone to continue apologizing to him.

And Mike was very broad-minded, saying that was his own choice not to take the money and he didn't blame anyone.

Therefore, regarding this Hua Country three-person team... how should he describe them?

Jimmy said: "About this Hua Country detective three-person team."

"Well... how should I put it? Your Hua Country isn't like America with very professional detective rankings."

"Your Hua Country's private detectives don't have rankings - they all rely on reputation and titles."

"For example, this three-person team."

"Title: Three Tigers Detective Group."

When Zhou Yan heard this, she seemed somewhat dissatisfied: "In that case, if these three people are fakes who randomly set high prices, wouldn't we be at a big loss?"

Jimmy shook his head: "Although there are no rankings, their reputation speaks for itself. Reputation often represents ability - though not absolutely certain, it's usually reliable, so you can rest assured."

Zhou Yan looked up at the ceiling.

Her snow-white face showed expression again.

She lowered her head and asked Jimmy: "These three people aren't enough."

"Help me find more Hua Country detectives."

"Preferably those who charge tens of thousands."

Jimmy narrowed his eyes: "What's your intention with this move?"

Zhou Yan crossed her arms, once again revealing her usual queen-like confidence:

"Naturally, more people means more hope."

"I won't make the mistake of placing all my hopes on a small number of people again."

"Plus, hiring more detectives allows us to create a bonus system - whoever finds the truth I'm looking for first gets the bonus."

"Let them compete fiercely against each other."

Zhou Yan looked exactly like a capitalist.
