Jane Ailing was not familiar with Qinggang District, but her experience in the place was similar to that of Zhao Zitong.

"Didn't they say that the old factories in Qinggang District were being renovated, or that they had already been renovated very well?" She took out her phone and searched for information about the Qinggang Industrial Park.

"Look, this place seems to have been renovated quite well." Jane Ailing looked down at her phone. "I saw that this industrial park has been holding a small market recently, starting yesterday."

"Oh right." Du Xiaoyi was also searching on the computer. "I saw there's a coffee festival next to that market here."

Zhao Zitong also moved closer to Du Xiaoyi's computer, "Hmm... I didn't expect this place to be renovated so well. If you hadn't told me it was Qinggang Industrial Park, I wouldn't have recognized it."

"So, Sister Ling, are we still going to take this order?"

"Why don't you ask them what they want me to do there?"

"Okay." Du Xiaoyi turned around and quickly typed on the computer.

"The client replied and said she wants to book an artistic photoshoot with you. She said that since we're all girls, she'll feel more relaxed and less reserved if you're the one taking the photos."

Jane Ailing also searched on her phone and indeed found that some factory buildings in the Qinggangshan Industrial Park had been converted into photography studios. Converting abandoned factory buildings into photography studios is quite common, but she just rarely goes there, so she doesn't know much about it.

"That shouldn't be a problem. Where is the location?"

"The appointment is for 4 PM tomorrow. Is that time okay?"

"No problem, I'm free. Let's schedule this time then, and remember to send me the exact location."

Today was truly a day of many good things. On her way home, Jian Ailing received a call from Zhu Yan, who said that she had completely broken up with that scumbag.

"Lingling, if I didn't have to go on a business trip today, I would definitely invite you out for a meal and tell you all about how exciting things were the other day!"

Even over the phone, Jian Ailing could sense just how excited Zhu Yan was.

"Tearing that scumbag boyfriend apart felt so good!"

On the phone, Zhu Yan vividly described how she found the other two girls and went to Ding Chongwen's house to confront him face to face.

"The most outrageous thing is that there was another girl at his house at the time! You wouldn't believe it, the fourth girl reacted much more violently than we did. In the end, the four of us even beat him up at Ding Chongwen's house!"

"That coward only knows how to beg for mercy; he can't utter a single word!"

"Congratulations on escaping your misery and being reborn!" The two hadn't finished their phone conversation by the time Jane locked her car.

"That jerk has been messaging me nonstop these past few days, begging for my forgiveness and stuff. It's so annoying, I just blocked him!"

"Just block me, but don't be soft-hearted this time!" Jane walked out of the garage, looked at the starry sky, and suddenly sighed with a touch of melancholy, "Sigh... I hope I can get out of this misery soon too."

"Are you home yet?" Zhu Yan asked on the other end of the phone. "I've gotten off the bus and checked into the hotel. Let's talk later."

"What kind of suffering do you want to escape?" Just as Jian Ailing hung up the phone, a voice suddenly rang out behind her, startling her so much that she almost jumped up.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Yunting, who had appeared behind her at some point.

When she drove her car into the garage, she saw Yu Yunting's car there too, and assumed he had already gone inside. Little did she expect that he would be right behind her.

Why is he following me so quietly? He doesn't even make a sound when he walks!

"Uh... I mean work, a really troublesome job." Jane Ailing chuckled awkwardly as she walked alongside him. "It'll be over soon."

Tell me about it.

Jane clenched her fists and glanced at the man beside her with a hint of resentment.

When did I see him so concerned about my affairs?

"No... It's just that there was an order on Saturday, but the client is very picky and demanding. We still can't decide on a location. All we know is that it's near Qinggang Industrial Park." Pressed by him like this, Jian Ailing gave an awkward laugh and could only bite the bullet and continue making things up.

My dear customer, I'm so sorry.

She silently recited it in her heart.

It's rare for a client to specifically ask her to follow up with someone, and yet she ends up badmouthing them like this.

Yu Yunting's expression changed slightly. He turned to look at her and asked, "Are you going alone?"

"Yeah, taking artistic photos for girls. They just don't like male photographers."

Jane Ailing felt that if she continued to focus on this topic, her lie would eventually be exposed. She quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Zhu Yan finally managed to dump that jerk. I think you deserve some credit for that too."

"If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have found evidence of that scumbag's infidelity so quickly, and Zhu Yan wouldn't know how long she would have been entangled with that scumbag." Yu Yunting did deserve some credit for this, so Jian Ailing felt she should say something nice to praise him.

"Why are you meddling in so many other people's business?" Yu Yunting's voice was indifferent, and his face showed little expression.

Jane couldn't help but glare at him.

Why is this man so stubborn? I praised him and he still doesn't appreciate it!

The next day, Jian Ailing received the location from Du Xiaoyi. The place was indeed on the very edge of Qinggang District, near Qinggang Mountain and some old industrial parks.

When she returned home, she did some research and learned that the Qinggang District government planned to develop the area into a tourist destination, with Qinggang Mountain becoming a popular spot for hiking and hot springs. The old factory area and buildings were also undergoing major renovations.

Jane arrived at the designated park on time, just as agreed. The place was more lively than she had imagined; the small market and coffee festival were quite bustling, with many young people moving around.

Suddenly, a white sedan that looked like a ride-hailing car stopped in front of Jane.

"Are you Miss Jane?" the driver asked, rolling down the window and looking at her.

"Yes, I am." Jane looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"The guests behind you said they wanted to go into the photography studio with you. Since this is the parking lot, we'll have you wait here."

The back window slowly rolled down, and a girl wearing a baseball cap and a mask, with her hair in a ponytail, waved at her.

It seems this is her client for today.

"Okay." Jane Ailing nodded and opened the car door.

She closed the car door, sat down next to the girl, and smiled at her.

The girl squinted her eyes and seemed to smile at her as well.

Although she could only see the girl's eyebrows and eyes, looking at her up close, Jane felt that the girl looked a little strange.

The car started again and drove away from the parking lot.

The moment the car doors locked, the girl's eyes suddenly turned ferocious.

Before Jane could react, the person suddenly lunged at her and covered her mouth and nose with a towel.

"Waaah..." Jian Ailing struggled desperately, but the other person's strength was terrifying, and she had no way to break free.

She stared wide-eyed as the car window slowly rolled up and closed again.

The car accelerated, her hand fell limply to her side, and then she closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
