Even After My Death

Chapter 742: Chapter 638: Bounty Hunters (Proposal Arc)

Since deciding to travel around from M City, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou really have not returned to Capital City.

The Qi family members learned about this three days after Jiang Ning finished recording, and the whole family

supported Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou’s decision.

"Young people should go out more and gain more experiences. Even if they don’t learn much, just seeing the

different customs and cultures of various places is good," Ji Shuang said to Jiang Ning on the phone.

Jiang Ning wholeheartedly agreed, "Mm-hmm, that’s what we think too. When we find interesting things, we'll

send sto you."

Ji Shuang immediately laughed, "Alright, but while you're out, you must pay attention to safety and prioritize

your own safety. If you get tired of playing, cback, and I'll have the nanny make soup for you."

Jiang Ning'’s heart softened, "Alright."

Ji Shuang’s words made Jiang Ning realize that she must have seen the news of her and Qi Xingzhou catching a

criminal by the riverside last night trending online.

The night before, while Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were strolling through the night market, they suddenly

received a system notification that a wanted criminal was active nearby.

Catching this criminal would not only bring generous rewards from the system but also a 200,000 reward offered

by the government.

More importantly, this person was a fugitive serial criminal!

If he wasn’t captured, he would soon commit another crime!

How could Jiang Ning let such a serious criminal roam right under her nose? Of course, the choice was to capture

him!

Jiang Ning explained the situation to Qi Xingzhou, and they quickly conspired together to bring the criminal to

justice.

Jiang Ning didn’t intend to make a fuss and wanted to hand the person over to the police quietly and keep her

accomplishments hidden.

But last night at the riverside, besides her and Qi Xingzhou, there were also many people strolling and having

late-night snacks.

As soon as the phones were lifted, recording began... and after the video was uploaded online, it was bound to

be recognized.

Originally, A City was just a bit lively, but today the foot traffic noticeably increased, all because people had seen

the trending topic and wanted to run into Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou here.

Jiang Ning: "..."

The 200,000 from the government was quickly transferred from the treasury to Jiang Ning’s bank account. After

receiving the money, Jiang Ning as usual wanted to split half with Qi Xingzhou.

Qi Xingzhou held Jiang Ning, continually nuzzling his head into her neck, refusing to take it.

"I don’t want it; Ning Ning can support me," Qi Xingzhou said, with a tone full of confidence.

However, while looking at the 200,000 in her hand, Jiang Ning conjured a new thought.

In the system’s database, there are still hundreds of felons enjoying their freedom outside the law.

These criminals are scattered all over the country, even across the world.

Previously, it was difficult to capture these criminals without leaving Beijing, but now...

Jiang Ning lowered her head and asked Qi Xingzhou for his opinion, "Should we becbounty hunters? What do

you think?"

Qi Xingzhou didn’t hesitate in the slightest, "Okay."

The system in her mind also applauded in support: [Yay yay!]

Its ambitious host finally perked up!

And so, just like that, on an ordinary afternoon, the grand plan for capturing fugitives born from their union was

formed.

Each tJiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou arrived in a new city, they would have the system collect and analyze all

criminal information for the current city.

If there weren't many criminals, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou would personally capture and bring them to justice.

If there were too many criminals, Jiang Ning would select sthat offered generous rewards, and for the rest,

would let the system anonymously provide leads to the police, leaving them to make the arrest.

Under their united and close cooperation, the number of completed tasks on the system’s task panel rose

sharply.

Jiang Ning'’s life value increased coolly, and the merit apples earned by Qi Xingzhou increased day by day.

Sometimes, seeing dozens of hedgehogs carrying apples on Qi Xingzhou'’s body within a single day, Jiang Ning

felt a bit worried, afraid something might happen to him.

But the system assured her that merit apples brought only benefits and no harm to Qi Xingzhou.

After healing Qi Xingzhou, the extra merit apples would enhance his physical fitness, intelligence, luck, and

more.

Relieved upon hearing this, Jiang Ning felt at ease.

Though Jiang Ning has never revealed the system’s existence in front of Qi Xingzhou, she knew he had likely

guessed something to sextent.

Yet, he never asked any questions from beginning to end.

Each tfaced with the criminal information Jiang Ning provided, Qi Xingzhou carefully analyzed how to capture

them, never showing any surprise over the origin of those criminal details in Jiang Ning’s possession.

His reaction made Jiang Ning breathe a sigh of relief.

With a tacit understanding, a feeling called harmony flowed between them.

Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou worked as bounty hunters for three whole years.

In these three years, they traveled every inch of the motherland, never missing any of its stability and prosperity.

The bank card used to collect bounties grew from an initial 200,000 to an amount Jiang Ning herself couldn't

quite recount, yet the system'’s life value reward stopped displaying once it amassed to 60 years.

The countdown regarding Jiang Ning’s life on the system panel, once present, was now gone without a trace.

In response to Jiang Ning’s question, the system explained: [The host's current physical state has reached its

peak. The system no longer displays survival days because it doesn’t want the host to live in future fear. 60

years is not the host’s end point, so please don’t worry.]

A few days after capturing the last major A-level fugitive, it was Jiang Ning’s 26th birthday.

In a Jiangnan Water Village, thousands of kilometers away from Capital City, Qi Xingzhou took out a small cake to

celebrate her birthday.

The evening breeze was gentle, the small boats in the river swaying.

Looking at Qi Xingzhou's focused and gentle eyes under the candlelight, Jiang Ning suddenly had a thought.

She raised her hand to hug Qi Xingzhou and kissed him on the side of his face, "Let's get married when we

return to Beijing this time."

"Really?" Qi Xingzhou responded calmly, though the tremble in his arms holding Jiang Ning revealed his

excitement.

"Of course it’s true. When have | ever lied to you?" Jiang Ning turned to her bag and took out the ring she had

custom-ordered in advance.

For the sake of ritual, to appear more earnest and serious.

Qi Xingzhou looked at Jiang Ning, his eyes moist with emotion, "I will."

He extended his hand for Jiang Ning to put the ring on him.

Qi Xingzhou never wore additional accessories, always finding them uncomfortable.

The only thing he wore consistently was a gold-inlaid safety amulet Jiang Ning had given him years ago.

But now, the presence confined to his finger delighted him greatly.

With great excitement, he pulled Jiang Ning into a tight hug, then couldn't resist planting a kiss on her cheek.

Their lips gradually moved to the side, and it was several minutes before they parted, both breathless.

Since it was just the two of them, the cake Qi Xingzhou had custom-ordered wasn’t large.

As soon as Jiang Ning cut the first slice, she noticed something unusual.

She turned to glance at Qi Xingzhou and used the cake knife to reveal something hidden in the cake—a small

box with a wrap!

When Jiang Ning saw that small box, she already guessed what it contained.

A pair of hands wearing disposable

He knelt on one knee before Jiang Ning, looking up at her, his gaze clear and eager, "Ms. Jiang Ning, will you

marry me?"

She smiled and nodded, extending her hand to Qi Xingzhou, "I will."

When Jiang Ning proposed to Qi Xingzhou, she was very happy, because surprising him made her happy to see

his joy.

But now, the roles reversed with Qi Xingzhou surprising her, even though the process was identical, it felt

different to Jiang Ning.

Her heart felt tender, immensely happy, yet tears inexplicably welled up just like Qi Xingzhou had earlier.

This time, Jiang Ning held Qi Xingzhou tightly, realizing that happiness could indeed bring tears.

Her greatest luck in life was meeting him and the system!

The system had given Jiang Ning a second life.

Qi Xingzhou gave Jiang Ning a complete life experience and family.

Ensuring she would never be alone in this world, always having someone by her side.
