Even After My Death-Chapter 25 - 23 The Third Task Release

Chapter 25: Chapter 23 The Third Task Release

Chapter 25 -23 The Third Task Release

Jiang Ning had signed a contract with “Survive for 30 Days”, but the recording of this variety show was scheduled to take place half a month later.

That meant, within this half-month period, Jiang Ning must seize the time to complete several System tasks to ensure her life span was more than a month.

That evening, when Jiang Ning was free, she brushed up on the past content of “Survive for 30 Days” at home and found the production team to be somewhat sadistic, either placing the guests in rural villages or on a secluded island.

There was even an instance when the production team took the guests directly to a deserted desert area.

Bound by the contract, the production team would not disclose any information to the guests before the shooting began.

That is to say, even the guests themselves didn’t know where the production team would take them!

The director once said in front of the media that “Survive for 30 Days” was absolutely unscripted! The main draw was authenticity!

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been several celebrities massively failing in previous episodes of “Survive for 30 Days”.

But the more twisted the rules set by the director’s team, the more the audience enjoyed watching, which caused the ratings of “Survive for 30 Days” to soar.

Even though more than one celebrity had a downfall on this show, there were still many stars vying for attention, eager to participate in this program.

It was all thanks to Huo Miao that Jiang Ning got on this show.

Chen Yan was a shrewd businessman; he keenly noticed that there seemed to be some unknown mischief between Jiang Ning and Huo Miao. Adding to that was Jiang Ning’s infamy online, which could bring quite a stir to the show.

Controversy brings viewership, and viewership equates to ratings.

Whether or not a turnaround would occur in the end, the production team would always come out on top.

Jiang Ning had never considered delving into the entertainment business before, or else she would not have so firmly rejected the director previously and still be without a contract with any company by now.

After being tarnished by Huo Miao several times, quite a few agents had proactively contacted Jiang Ning, extending their olive branches.

Although Jiang Ning’s reputation online was not very good because of Huo Miao, infamy was also fame!

In the entertainment industry, it’s better to be scolded than to be ignored!

Many agents wanted to sign Jiang Ning at that time, but without exception, they were all rejected by her.

Jiang Ning opened the small decaying site, intending to look for variety show explanations to see how these celebrities performed on the shows.

She began watching with the playback speed set to 1.5x, starting with the variety show explanation video with the most likes.

In the program, each celebrity had exquisite makeup, and the atmosphere was harmonious and friendly, among them were two female stars Jiang Ning recognized.

One was Huo Miao’s close friend in the industry, Chu Yiyi, who often visited the Huo family, and the other was the popular young actress Meng Li.

Jiang Ning had heard Chu Yiyi bad-mouthing Meng Li more than once in front of Huo Miao, sometimes even spouting all kinds of swear words when agitated, indicating how much Chu Yiyi despised Meng Li.

Yet on this program, Chu Yiyi called Meng Li “sister”, and they appeared to be in perfect harmony, seemingly eager to swear sisterhood.

Jiang Ning suddenly felt bored and began to feel sleepy.

Just as she was becoming drowsy, the System’s voice suddenly rang in her mind:

[Ding! Task target detected, please host make the criminal’s crimes public as soon as possible!]

The sudden mechanical voice startled Jiang Ning slightly.

She hadn’t left the house or encountered anyone else, so where did this task target come from?

Could it be that there was another incident nearby?

Jiang Ning hurriedly opened the task details on the System screen.

Criminal’s portrait: [image.jpg]

Criminal’s name: Chu Yiyi

Criminal offense: From 2014 to 2016, exploited legal loopholes to commit tax evasion totaling 98.6 million yuan.

Criminal’s hiding area: Wanya Garden villa district.

[Low-star task, no time limit, task reward: 12 days]

Jiang Ning: “Huh???”

At first, Jiang Ning didn’t catch on, but once she grasped the literal meaning, her gaze fixed on the criminal’s picture displayed by the System and she suddenly laughed out loud, “System, is this for real?”

[Of course, it’s real!] The System’s response was resounding, the Host could doubt anyone but not its working ability!

What it detected was absolutely one hundred percent real!

Jiang Ning hadn’t expected that browsing through a variety show explanation could yield such a surprising find.

The reward for this task was even more generous than the two she had completed before.

However, even without this reward, as long as she had life to spare, Jiang Ning wouldn’t ignore it.

Those who knew the law and yet broke it, harming the national interest, deserved to be sanctioned by the law.

Jiang Ning lowered her gaze in deep thought.

For such tax evasive behavior, one must first report it, after which the state would have a department to review it.

But making a report wasn’t that easy, although she knew about Chu Yiyi’s tax evasion from the System, she had no evidence in hand.

“System, will you provide evidence for reporting Chu Yiyi’s tax evasion?”

[Host, we can’t provide that.]

[The documents and evidence needed for reporting, such as account books, tax declarations, financial reports, tax data, and contracts and the like, might involve Chu Yiyi’s personal and company privacy, the System cannot break the law knowingly.]

Jiang Ning: “…” Even after specifying the amount of tax evasion so clearly, still talking about privacy?

However, having seen the task reward, Jiang Ning had more or less guessed that the System wouldn’t provide evidence, so its response didn’t surprise her.

The System seemed aware that the task’s difficulty was somewhat great for Jiang Ning, and reassuringly said: [Don’t be afraid, Host. This low-star, non-dangerous task does not limit the time for completion. While investigating this task, the Host can also undertake other tasks.]

“Oh.” Jiang Ning nodded in understanding, “I can go do other tasks as well?”

[Yes, yes, yes.] The System nodded vehemently: [The Host can undertake up to five tasks simultaneously.]

“Okay, got it. Thank you,” Jiang Ning felt relieved.

Tax affairs are by nature highly confidential, let alone after engaging in tax evasion, Chu Yiyi would undoubtedly conceal all related evidence very tightly.

For Jiang Ning to find relevant evidence on her own and in a short time was extremely difficult.

That she could undertake other tasks provided her with some breathing room.

Yet, looking at the task reward displayed on the System screen, Jiang Ning was indeed a bit covetous.

12 days!

And no risk to life.

Who wouldn’t love such a task.

Jiang Ning opened her computer and started searching for information about Chu Yiyi.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

She focused her search on Chu Yiyi’s partners during the tax evasion years 2014 to 2016, celebrity tax rankings, and the tax filings of the studios under Chu Yiyi’s name.
