Returning home, Liu Yuning was focused on watching the news on TV while Ye Sha sat down beside her.

The news was reporting on a death case where an elderly person who lived alone had died in their own home. The deceased was a well-known professor at a university in Jiangyang City, with many students, so the case was quite influential.

"Sweetheart, do you know how this old man died?" Liu Yuning looked at her phone, her eyes widening in disbelief. She had just used her connections to find out the truth, which shocked her!

"What happened? Was it something strange?" Ye Sha hugged his girlfriend and curiously looked at the conversation on her phone.

"That old man was paralyzed from the waist down and lived with his son. On the day of the incident, the son was not at home, and the old man actually took a knife and ate his own paralyzed legs! He bled too much and died!" Liu Yuning said, shivering with goosebumps, and hid in her boyfriend's arms.

"Did he not have any mental illness?" Ye Sha asked, following up, as he had not thought of something so terrifying.

"He shouldn't have any. He was a professor and still had to give online classes to his students every day, so his mental state should be normal!" Liu Yuning looked at her phone again and described the situation to Ye Sha.

"Well then, it seems we can't just indulge in the current situation. We need to get stronger quickly!" Ye Sha looked at his girlfriend and said seriously, "Strange things are everywhere, and this world has become weird. We need strength to be safe! We must actively hunt down the strange!"

"Okay, I'll follow your lead!" Liu Yuning nodded in agreement, but suddenly her face turned red again. "I haven't been indulging in anything...it's just that you kept teasing me...last night..."

"Who was the one who kept shouting 'I want, I want'?" Ye Sha burst into laughter.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"Ah! Don't learn to talk like me!" Liu Yuning blushed, pouting, and playfully punched Ye Sha's chest...

Liu Yaqin smiled sweetly at the live broadcast camera, waving goodbye to the audience before finally breathing a sigh of relief when the blinking lights disappeared.

She didn't know what was going on, but her boss, Zhu Yan, had not come to the studio to host the show recently, and had asked Liu Yaqin to stand in. He had even given her a raise, making it seem like he wanted to promote her.

But Liu Yaqin wasn't stupid. She knew there was something odd about the situation, as besides her boss, even the other assistants didn't show up anymore. It was only her and a new intern who clocked in every day.

Due to her appearance, which was on par with Zhu Yan's, and her more sincere and genuine demeanor, her live broadcast room had gained many followers and profits had significantly increased. She was also receiving a decent percentage of the earnings.

When it came to money, even if she felt something strange, she had to grit her teeth and continue working hard, as she still had to support her parents.

Liu Yaqin's work was showing progress, and her love life was also taking off. Zhang Xun had officially started pursuing her, and their relationship was gradually getting more serious. They would go out for dinner and outings every week.

  Of course, Liu Yaqin didn't immediately agree, as their family backgrounds were vastly different and she couldn't easily trust Zhang Xun. She had heard plenty of stories about being played with by wealthy men when she was in school.

"Yaqin, I'm off work now!" an intern said to Liu Yaqin, who smiled and said goodbye while packing up her things. Suddenly, a figure came walking towards the studio door. The person was dressed in a conservative manner, even though it was hot outside.

"Xiao Liu, you haven't finished work yet?" It was actually the boss, Zhu Yan. Liu Yaqin looked up in surprise, and was taken aback.

Zhu Yan, who used to have a slender figure, had gained a lot of weight. Her pretty almond-shaped face was nowhere to be seen, replaced by chubby cheeks. She was dressed conservatively, perhaps to avoid being recognized.

What happened? Liu Yaqin was puzzled, wondering if the boss had taken the wrong medication and caused her body to change.

"Xiao Liu, please leave work now! I have something to do and will lock the door myself!" Zhu Yan said before entering her office.

"Okay, goodbye, boss!" Liu Yaqin didn't dare stay any longer, and picked up her bag to leave.

Walking on the street, Liu Yaqin couldn't help but recall Zhu Yan's current appearance. She couldn't understand how a person could gain so much weight in just a few days. It didn't make sense from a human physiological standpoint.

In the office, Zhu Yan was eating chocolate and searching for her bank cards in the safe. Her mouth was never idle, finishing the chocolate and then moving on to eating biscuits, which she used to give to her employees as snacks. She used to avoid eating them because they were high in calories.

But now, eating was even more important to her than what she was doing, and as she searched, she couldn't help but eat more and more snacks.

She stuffed three biscuits into her mouth at a time, and her chewing sounds were strange and terrifying. Finally, when she finished all the snacks, she mumbled to herself and started to search for the safe.

"I need to find a lot of money, to buy a lot of meat..."
