Zhao Yan patiently listed the names of forty-two people from the photos and the addresses where they were lost, speaking for over half an hour.
"Alright, if anyone sees them or knows where they are, please inform Officer Liu," Zhao Yan said.
Liu Jing gave Zhao Yan a thumbs-up. "Thank you, Master. I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up for now. If there are any leads, feel free to call me."
Zhao Yan waved her hand. "Goodbye, Officer Liu."
With that, she ended the live stream.
"Okay, everyone, if you have any clues, you can also send me a private message, and I will notify Officer Liu."
"Next, we'll connect with another person. This time, we won't have any slogans. I'll randomly select a fan from the comments," Zhao Yan said.
She stared intently at the screen, but the sheer volume of comments, scrolling by at lightning speed, made her eyes blur.
"One, two, three!"
As Zhao Yan spoke, she moved her mouse and quickly took a screenshot.
Looking at the user ID, Zhao Yan announced, "Congratulations to the netizen [Nuan Nuan Nuan]."
"I'm about to connect with you. If you don't want to, you can refuse."
With that, Zhao Yan sent the connection request.
Not everyone wanted to connect.
However, every person she selected was willing to show their face.
Less than a minute after the connection request was sent, the other side immediately accepted.
Zhao Yan was a little surprised that the other person responded so quickly.
A young face appeared on the screen, looking to be around twenty-three years old.
"It's finally my turn," the young man said excitedly to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan had assumed the ID belonged to a girl, but it turned out to be a boy.
The young man clasped his hands together. "Hello, Master, hello. I'm a bit excited, let me calm down first."
Saying this, the young man stood up, took a deep breath, and after a moment of composure, sat back down on his chair.
"Don't be excited. I'm just an ordinary person."
After the young man settled down, Zhao Yan said seriously, "Do you mind if I analyze your physiognomy?"
The young man smiled generously. "I don't mind. I'm not a criminal, so I have nothing to hide."
"Good," Zhao Yan nodded and gestured to the table behind her.
"Sister Zhao, what do you need?" Wu Jiaxin asked.
Zhao Yan: "Pass me that chopstick."
Wu Jiaxin said "Okay" and immediately handed her the chopstick.
Holding the chopstick, Zhao Yan addressed the boy on the screen. "Please sit up straight and properly."
The young man immediately straightened his posture.
Next, Zhao Yan picked up the chopstick and lightly tapped the boy's forehead with it. "Your luck is not good. Do not go out within the next ten days if it is raining or overcast."
The young man nodded. "Don't go out on rainy or overcast days? Why is that? Is there a specific reason, Master?"
Zhao Yan explained, "Your luck has been very poor recently. If you go out, you are prone to accidents. Once this period of bad luck passes, going out will resolve things."
To ensure he remembered, Zhao Yan earnestly added, "Remember this!"
The young man nodded seriously. "Okay, I will remember your words, Master."
Zhao Yan hummed softly and then meticulously examined the young man's face for a long time. Finding no further issues, she ended the live stream.
Seeing Zhao Yan disconnect, Li Fan quickly sent two hundred yuan.
He was incredibly excited to have connected with Zhao Yan. He had watched her streams before and was a loyal fan.
He had never gifted anyone before, but for Zhao Yan, he made an exception this time.
He sent two gifts of two hundred yuan each, shaped like airplanes.
For a recent graduate, two hundred yuan was a significant amount, especially after months of searching for a suitable job.
After sending the gifts, he only had seven hundred yuan left in his account.
Having sent the gifts, he continued to watch Zhao Yan's stream.
He listened as Zhao Yan introduced talismans; he wanted to buy many of them but was short on cash.
Watching Zhao Yan's earnest demeanor, he couldn't help but fantasize about finding a girlfriend like her.
As he was watching, his phone rang. It was his best friend calling. He answered.
"Old Fan, let's go play a game at the internet cafe. We're short one person for a five-man team. I'll pick you up."
Li Fan hesitated. "I'm not going."
"There are girls!"
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Fan exclaimed. He got out of bed, put on his shoes, and casually tidied his hair. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly remembered Zhao Yan's words: do not go out on rainy or overcast days.
He pushed open the window and looked at the sky, where a light drizzle was falling. Although the rain wasn't heavy, he hesitated.
"Rainy or overcast days? This shouldn't count as overcast, there's still sun over there!" Li Fan muttered, then thought, "Yeah, it probably doesn't count."
He opened the door and, as his right foot stepped out, he immediately pulled it back.
He remembered Zhao Yan's abilities; she could identify human traffickers from over a decade ago, so her words should be respected.
"Even if there's only a one percent chance, I can't risk it!"
"No matter how beautiful a girl is, my life is more important."
As he was muttering to himself, the sound of an electric scooter honking came from downstairs.
"Old Fan, hurry up and come down."
Hearing the sound, Li Fan looked out the window and saw his best friend riding an electric scooter.
Good heavens, there were two other young men sitting behind him.
Three people on one electric scooter, plus him, would make four.
Normally, he wouldn't hesitate, but now he was scared.
"I have a stomach ache today, it's really bothering me. Let's reschedule for another day!" Li Fan said.
"Reschedule for what? The girls are free today, several of them. They won't be free another day. Hurry up! Stop dawdling."
Li Fan shook his head. "I really can't."
Then, his face contorted as he clutched his stomach in pain. "I can't, my stomach really hurts."
"Lazy people really do have a lot of excuses. Don't be envious when we brothers all find girlfriends!"
"Alright, we're leaving then."
Li Fan nodded and said, "Okay."
After his best friend drove away, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to his bed, took off his shoes, and got back into bed to continue watching Zhao Yan's stream.
About seven or eight minutes into the stream, his phone rang.
Seeing his best friend's name on the caller ID, he prepared to use his stomach pain as an excuse.
Before he could even speak, the person on the other end spoke first.
However, the voice was not his best friend's, but that of a middle-aged man.
"Hello, are you Xue Jin's friend?"
Li Fan replied, "I am."
"Your friend was riding an electric scooter and collided with a small car on Qiwang Street. His parents' phone numbers are not being answered. Looking at his call records, he just called you, so I'm calling you. If you're not far, please come quickly. Your friends are all in critical condition."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Fan was stunned. The phone slipped from his hand.
After a few seconds, he finally reacted and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
