The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

Ling hasn't taken on any work lately.

One reason is that I haven't been home for Chinese New Year for several years because I was filming. This year, I promised my parents that I would spend Chinese New Year at home, so I made a point of taking this time off.

Another reason is that now that she knows the plot of this novel world, she really doesn't have the mind to do anything else. She has to solve the problems that her unlucky little ones at home might encounter first!

Oh no, An Yun and Qiu Li were indeed unlucky, since what happened afterward was an undeserved disaster for them. An Rui, on the other hand, was the complete perpetrator.

But Anling also had to stop him, because that would be another victim's undeserved misfortune.

While scrolling through the trending topics, An Ling pondered what to do next.

She felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it no matter what she did. Several days later, she suddenly remembered that she had hired a private investigator to investigate Qi Song's infidelity. But now that the matter had been trending on social media for several days, the deal should have been automatically terminated, right?

So Anling switched to her alternate WeChat account and discovered that X had sent her more than a dozen messages.

X: ? ? ? ? ?

X: What's going on with this trending topic? I only managed to take some photos of them talking intimately in private, not even a picture of them holding hands, and yet the video of them in bed is trending. What's the point of me even taking any more pictures?

X: Say something!

X: Anyway, the deposit is non-refundable. I did investigate carefully, but it's been too short and I don't have concrete evidence yet. You should still give me a fee for my hard work, right?

X: Besides, if they're having an affair at home, it's very difficult for me to get evidence.

X: Holy crap, Qi Song actually wanted to kill his wife? What made you decide to investigate him? Are you someone close to Qin Wanlan?

……

In short, they all said things like they had done their best, but Qin Wanlan exposed him first, which is why the mission failed. Their words implied that An Ling had also had a hard time, that the deposit already paid could not be refunded, or that they wanted to find out An Ling's true identity.

AAA RT-Mart Fish-Killing Master: I didn't mean for you to return the deposit, but I won't pay the balance.

X: Of course, we have professional ethics too. Why would we ask you for the final payment if the task wasn't completed?

X: But this case was a bit frustrating. I hadn't even found out anything before it was exposed. I felt no sense of accomplishment.

AAA RT-Mart Fish-Killing Expert: Do you guys even feel a sense of accomplishment in your line of work?

X: Of course! You don't understand how fascinating and addictive it is to uncover the truth on your own.

Forgive Anling for not understanding his sense of accomplishment. Although X calls himself a detective, he does the work of a paparazzi. These days, isn't being a paparazzi all about money? Does he really have any sense of professional honor?

AAA RT-Mart Fish-Killing Expert: Are you still taking orders? I still have orders to fulfill.

X: Go ahead and answer! Regular customers get a 10% discount. What kind of gossip are you looking for this time?

X: Oh no, who are you investigating this time?

AAA RT-Mart Fish Killing Expert: An Yun is currently dating a girl named Tu Mumu. Can you help me find evidence that Tu Mumu and singer Yu Rushuo have an improper relationship in private?

An Ling thought for a moment. The reason why the X investigation was difficult before was because there were no clues and they could only follow along like headless flies. Although she didn't know what Tu Mumu looked like, she could find out the time and place when the two would meet in the near future through Yu Rushuo.

So Anling sent a few more times and locations, telling X to stake out the locations and take some evidence. But the other side didn't reply for a long time, even though they used to reply instantly.

AAA RT-Mart Fish-Killing Expert: What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?

X: 10w.

AAA RT-Mart Fish-Killing Expert: Didn't you say it was a 10% discount? And I even told you the time and place, shouldn't you give me a discount?

X: Anyway, this is the price for investigating Anjia's affairs. If it weren't for the fact that you're a regular customer, I wouldn't want to take the job.

X: Since you know the time and place, why don't you just go and take the picture yourself?

An Ling certainly wanted to film it herself, but she couldn't!

If she goes there herself, she doesn't know whether she'll be photographing others or being photographed herself. What if she doesn't get any evidence and her furtive behavior gets posted online? That would definitely alert the enemy.

Although they were separated by a phone, An Ling felt that X's attitude wasn't as warm as before, and he seemed to have some opinions about the An family in his words. However, An Ling was afraid that if she asked too directly, she would find out something, so she could only ask a couple of ambiguous questions.

AAA RT-Mart Fish-Killing Master: Is there anything special about Anjia? Or do you have a grudge against Anjia?

X: It's not that we have a grudge, it's just that there are people in Anjia that I don't like. Anyway, we won't negotiate the price this time, but considering that the last deal didn't go through, I can waive your deposit for now. You can decide whether you want me to investigate.

AAA RT-Mart Fish Killing Master: You wouldn't just publish the evidence you found because you don't like someone, would you?

X: Don't worry about that, I have a lot of professional ethics, okay?

This person has a pretty good reputation in the industry, unlike some others who, even after taking a job from one party, will leak the evidence they obtained to the other party in order to sell it for a higher price.

If Yu Rushuo were to discover beforehand that someone was investigating him, he would definitely become more cautious, and might even deviate from the original plot and cause unexpected complications, making it more difficult for An Ling to expose him.

After weighing the pros and cons, Anling decided to continue letting X investigate.

The safest way would be to have the An family investigate, but that would leave An Ling with no way to explain her actions.

Moreover, since she has already made up her mind to use this known plot and character lookup tool to change her own and her family's fate, there will only be more and more things to look up in the future. If she uses the An family to look up things, her family will definitely notice something amiss in the long run.

She wasn't sure if her bizarre experience would have a negative impact on the world if others knew about it. She wished she had asked more questions when she was first reborn, and she wondered if that mysterious voice would ever reappear.

After finishing her conversation with X, Anling switched back to her WeChat and opened her chat with Yun Shurui.

Since they reconciled at Guan Zhengyan's birthday party, the two have been chatting almost every day to nurture their relationship. An Ling felt that it wouldn't be abrupt for her to suggest celebrating her birthday with Yun Shurui now.

After all, her birthday was only a few days away, and An Ling planned to use the excuse of going on a trip together to persuade Yun Shurui to go to Yun Xingzhou's city to celebrate her birthday.

She had thought it over carefully. Whether she asked Yun Shurui to persuade her brother not to come back or to persuade the Yun family to change the driver, she couldn't guarantee Yun Xingzhou's safety 100%. First, Yun Xingzhou might not listen. Second, if he wanted to go home after getting off the plane, he would definitely have to come back along the route where the accident happened in the original story.

An Ling was unsure whether the original plot was mandatory. What if an accident would inevitably be triggered as long as Yun Xingzhou was on his way home during that time period?

The safest way is to ensure that Yun Xingzhou will not return home on Yun Shurui's birthday. So as long as Yun Shurui goes to see her brother, there will be no need for her brother to rush back.
