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

Chapter 518: Wang Qi’s Messy Love Life

She hadn't advanced even one or two meters when she was pulled back by Wu Meiling.Manager Wu Meiling continued to lower her voice and said, "It's fine, you don't need to give it back to him. When it comes to money, you should earn it when you can."

"He wants you to find out information for him, so just find it out and then tell him via phone."

"As for him asking you to go somewhere, especially places where only the two of you would be alone, absolutely do not go! Men like him are capable of forcing themselves on young girls like you!"

"Mhm! Okay!"

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Liu Xiao took Manager Wu Meiling's words as an imperial decree, firmly engraving them in her heart.

Seeing Liu Xiao being so obedient, Manager Wu Meiling also patted her head with a sense of relief. "Sigh, if my daughter hadn't left back then, she'd be about your age now."

Liu Xiao blinked her medium-sized eyes. "Meiling-jie, don't be sad. If you ever need my help in the future, you can order me around like you would your own daughter!"

Manager Wu Meiling let out a light laugh.

"Okay, then right now, go help me clean up that table of food!"

Liu Xiao kept nodding, pocketed the 50 yuan, and headed toward the battlefield.

Manager Wu Meiling looked at Liu Xiao very gently.

As if she really saw her own daughter.

Manager Mao Li Zhishu, seeing that Liu Xiao had gone elsewhere, walked up and asked Manager Wu Meiling what she had been talking about with that lab rat.

Manager Wu Meiling briefly explained the matter.

After listening, Manager Mao Li Zhishu raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to be quite kind-hearted. If you hadn't intervened, I believe she would have been gone after getting the information and being tricked."

Manager Wu Meiling snorted coldly. "It's not that I'm kind-hearted. It's that the child is sensible. She saved herself."

"If she hadn't told me the whole story from beginning to end, but had kept it hidden just to earn that 50 yuan, I couldn't have saved her either."

The Far Neighbor game live stream room recently had a new piece of technology.

It could read lips through the live stream footage and automatically recognize the language.

Like right now, the hushed conversations between Manager Wu Meiling and the two people in succession were all captured by this technology and brought into the view of everyone in the live stream room.

Middle-aged Uncle: 【Lucky, and also kind-hearted. But this Manager Wu Meiling is somewhat interesting… she would actually save a lab rat?】

Fairy Sister: 【If it weren't for this Manager Wu Meiling, a naive lab rat like Liu Xiao would probably be gone very soon.】

Middle-aged Uncle: 【To be honest, even though I've watched so many perverse and bloody live streams through the Black Software.】

【I don't know if any of you feel the same as me? Seeing this kind of innocent, kind person end up being brutally killed, it still feels somewhat uncomfortable inside?】

Fairy Sister: 【That proves you still have a bit of conscience, and haven't watched enough of this stuff. Watch more, and you'll become numb.】

Evil Wolf: 【Heh, I'm the opposite of you. I absolutely love watching these innocent, weak little lab rats get tortured and killed by the perverts in the apartment. That feeling of destructive desire makes me unable to stop.】

……

The three newly arrived female lab rats were all assigned rooms in Building No. 2 of the apartment complex.

After helping clean up the food and plates in the activity room, Liu Xiao followed Manager Wu Meiling back to Building No. 2.

Now, in the vast activity room, only Manager Mao Li Zhishu and Jiang Ran remained.

Jiang Ran had stayed behind, not helping at all. He just sat in his original seat, staring thoughtfully at the ceiling.

Even now, he remained like that.

Manager Mao Li Zhishu walked to his side. "Jiang Ran, aren't you leaving yet?"

Jiang Ran's gaze was still on the ceiling. "Not leaving."

Manager Mao Li Zhishu said, "Mhm, then I'll head back first. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave, save electricity."

The tap-tap-tap of footsteps accompanied Manager Mao Li Zhishu's departure.

Now, only one lonely figure remained here, frowning.

At this moment, he seemed to hear some noise outside.

He got up and went to the window of the activity room.

He saw a man coming out of the main entrance of the apartment building. Jiang Ran didn't recognize him.

That man went over to the Alice Apartment security room and brought someone in from outside.

Only when they got closer did Jiang Ran see clearly that the person brought in was a woman.

The woman was very young, estimated to be in her twenties or thirties.

Her looks were very pretty, and her figure was tall and slender.

Her clothing was also impeccable.

If nothing was amiss, this woman was a rather expensive prostitute.

One with these looks probably cost several thousand per session.

After the man picked up the woman, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and the two of them entered the apartment building together, temporarily disappearing from Jiang Ran's view.

The so-called more developed the region, the more developed the sex industry.

A quick online search for the annual condom consumption in those areas would tell you.

Jiang Ran believed that for women, doing this kind of fast-money method too often made it very difficult later to return to a life of exhausting work for a few thousand a month.

And for men, being addicted to women led to physical weakness and massive financial drain.

Suddenly, Jiang Ran thought of some male celebrities from a few years back who were exposed for being butterflies.

He really wanted to know how the fans of these male celebrities, exposed as butterflies, felt upon learning the men they liked were this kind of people.

What did they think?

Did their worldview collapse, or did they continue to be fans? Completely disregarding right, wrong, and values?

Jiang Ran felt that some people's fandom for these so-called celebrities was truly loving them more than they loved themselves and their own parents.

It had reached a state of obsession.

Especially how easily they could overly sanctify an ordinary person wearing the halo of a celebrity.

……

23:00 at night.

Alice Apartment, Building No. 2.

At this hour, lab rat Wang Qi was not asleep. Instead, with the bedroom light on, wearing pajamas, she sat on the bed.

Using an iPad to binge-watch a drama.

For young people, staying up late is routine.

Everyone clearly knows staying up late is worst for the body, easy to cause sudden death.

Even if it doesn't cause sudden death, it's an enormous drain on the body.

But young people just love staying up late.

Of course, it's also because young people's pressure is too great, spending 12 hours or even more during the day as beasts of burden.

If they don't stay up late at night, then they really have almost no time of their own.

Wang Qi's pressure was also super high.

Originally, as a manicure shop employee, without foolishly buying a house or car and taking on loans, her salary was average, but her little life was comfortable.

Going to work every day, watching dramas after work, eating good food.

Quite delightful.

Until she had an online relationship with a boyfriend, and her painful life began.

Her love-addled brain led to being cheated out of money and intimacy, and on top of that, she was tricked into being a guarantor. Her boyfriend took the money and disappeared within a few days.

Leaving her in a miserable state.

The kind where debt collectors came to her door.

Later, her situation became known to her colleagues. A colleague felt she might have encountered a scammer and told her to go to the police.

She obediently went.
