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

He was hungry.

So he went looking for a place to eat on the street.

Without realizing it, he had come to the breakfast shop from that day.

He initially wanted to go in and have some plain congee to settle his stomach.

But remembering that young waitress—someone who could trigger the System's danger warning—he turned around to look for another restaurant.

He figured that Aisen Town should have other Hua Country-run restaurants, whether for breakfast or lunch.

Sure enough, he found another lunch spot run by a Hua Country person.

It was noon now, but there weren't many people eating.

And almost all of them were from Hua Country.

Jiang Ran found a seat by the window and sat down. Wanting to order but seeing no server, he decided to wait a bit and play on his phone first.

In the kitchen of this Hua Country restaurant.

What Jiang Ran could never have expected—

The waitress from the Hua Country breakfast shop he had deliberately avoided was actually here.

Right now, besides her, there were two other white men.

One of the white men said, "What do we do now? That Jin Baiying and Zhao Jue, both Hua Country people, got caught." (All speaking English)

The other white man frowned. "Those two are real talents. Not only did they stalk that lab rat called Jiang Ran behind our backs last night without success, but we told them to meet here this morning to take care of that lab rat Huo Yun—and they got arrested by a patrol cop in the morning!!!"

The two white men's words about Jin Baiying and Zhao Jue carried not just anger, but disappointment—utter disappointment.

Couldn't do anything right, complete dead weight teammates.

Liu Baobao remained silent.

Last night, she had called those two, actually wanting them to take down S together.

But they said they were at the bar.

Yet she had been at the bar too, along with four other people, and they searched the entire place without finding either of them.

Later, they found out those two were stalking Jiang Ran.

And they failed.

Fine, failing was one thing.

She notified them this morning, but they still hadn't shown up.

Only after asking around did she learn they had been arrested by Aisen Town patrol police...

"Those two useless idiots..."

She cursed inwardly.

Just then, a voice came from the front of the restaurant repeatedly: "Anyone here? I want to order."

Liu Baobao said a few words to the two white men and walked out.

When she came out, a middle-aged uncle was standing at the counter.

After taking this Hua Country middle-aged uncle's order, Liu Baobao swept her gaze across the restaurant.

She spotted a man and a woman sitting at their tables, playing on their phones.

She first went to the Hua Country woman and asked if she needed to order, handling her.

Then Liu Baobao approached the last Hua Country man.

Jiang Ran was scrolling through TikTok on his phone when the System's cold voice rang in his mind again.

His finger paused mid-swipe, and he turned his head to the right.

What he saw was someone he never expected.

"Eh..."

Jiang Ran spotted Liu Baobao, his eyes instantly going wide.

Liu Baobao, upon seeing it was Jiang Ran, was also stunned.

Once the surprise faded on both sides.

Jiang Ran was the first to speak: "Aren't you a waitress at that other breakfast shop?"

Liu Baobao's pretty face, with its somewhat babyish features, broke into a sweet, charming smile:

"I work there in the mornings, and here at noon. After all, breakfast shops only have business in the morning, right?"

Jiang Ran was speechless.

Liu Baobao placed the menu in her hand on the table in front of Jiang Ran. "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Jiang Ran pushed the menu aside. "Give me some congee, stir-fry a plate of greens, some pickled vegetables, and a salted duck egg."

Liu Baobao thought to herself, Are you here for lunch or breakfast?

But seeing the bandages and scars on Jiang Ran's face,

She thought, Even though those two idiots last night didn't kill Jiang Ran, clearly, he took a pretty bad hit.

She said, "Alright, coming right up."

With that, she swayed her slender waist and walked away gracefully.

She returned to the kitchen.

She handed the order to the two white men in the back.

Then she said, "The one with plain congee was ordered by Jiang Ran." (English)

One of the white men was slightly startled. "Jiang Ran? He's here too?" (English)

The other white man said, "Since Jiang Ran is here and ordered food, why don't we just kill him while we have the chance? What do you all think?" (English)

Liu Baobao turned her attention to him. "You mean, kill him the same way we killed Leon—make it look like cardiac arrest?" (English)

The white man who suggested it nodded. "Exactly. He's going to die sooner or later anyway. Under normal circumstances, he should have died yesterday. Letting him live until today is already merciful." (English)

Liu Baobao thought it over.

The two white men didn't rush her. From this, it was clear that Liu Baobao held a high position among the deranged criminals and serial killers in Aisen Town.

Liu Baobao made up her mind and nodded.

The two white men were thrilled and immediately began preparing.

And the entire process of them planning to poison Jiang Ran's food with a drug that could cause fatal cardiac arrest was clearly visible to the Special Live Stream's audience.

Hua Country chat section.

Middle-aged Uncle: [I've noticed this livestream is really nasty. Whether it's Alice Apartment or the Special Live Stream, it shows some important plot points but not others. Like with the poisoning—when Leon was poisoned, it didn't show that, only when he was already poisoned.]

Ultimate Rich Kid: [Right. Still, at least we finally know how Leon died—just like we thought, cardiac arrest from poisoning. But I'm curious: if it really was poison, the police took all the food Leon ate for testing.]

[But it's been so long, and it's like nothing came of the tests—not a single peep. Why?]

Domineering Female CEO: [Several possibilities. First, the poison these people use to cause cardiac arrest might be undetectable by standard testing. Second, we assumed the police station was normal, but there might be moles inside. Third, maybe Aisen Town's testing capabilities are subpar, and they sent samples to a big city for testing, which takes time.]

Fairy Sister: [The first two are very possible. The third is impossible. From the time Leon the German lab rat died, judging by the reactions and conversations on-site, quite a few people in Aisen Town have died of cardiac arrest. If they were going to send samples to a big city, they would have done it long ago. There's no way they'd only start now.]

Public chat section.

Unlike the Hua Country chat section, which was discussing the cardiac arrest poison,

The public chat section was full of people typing, eagerly anticipating a lab rat's imminent fall.
