As he walked, Zhang Wenhai, who had been closely watching the "prey" ahead, gradually began to feel something was off.

The back of his neck... why did it keep feeling so chilly?

It was as if... there was a pair of eyes out there, firmly fixed on his back?

He suddenly turned around—

In his line of sight, the street was empty. Only under a distant streetlight, a figure was squatting with their head in their hands, doing who knows what, but not looking in his direction.

"An illusion?"

Zhang Wenhai scratched his head, turned back, and continued his great mission of tailing.

But after just a few steps, that feeling of being watched returned! And it was even stronger than before!

He abruptly turned around again!

No one there!

Wait—where's that guy who was squatting by the roadside pretending to be a mushroom?

Holy crap, what's going on? Where'd he go?

In the blink of an eye, how did such a big person just disappear?

"This is weird..."

Zhang Wenhai felt a bit spooked. A chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

At this late hour, could he have run into something unclean?

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He couldn't help but quicken his pace, wanting to catch up to Lin Wanxing quickly, find out where she lived, and end this increasingly bizarre tailing mission.

What Zhang Wenhai didn't know was that every time he turned around, Jiang Ye was silently chanting "You can't see me, you can't see me" in his mind, frantically hiding in the blink of an eye, narrowly escaping danger time and again.

Jiang Ye was even starting to enjoy the thrill of "dancing on the edge of a knife" and "outwitting the Pervert."

Though his adrenaline was surging and his heart rate hadn't dropped below 120, a strange sense of accomplishment welled up inside him.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last.

Their overly focused, sneaky behavior finally caught the attention of a real "righteous passerby."

Passing by the entrance of a 24-hour convenience store, under the bright lights, a Big Brother who had just bought some late-night snacks was munching on oden while idly looking around.

He first saw the tall, curvaceous Lin Wanxing ahead, nodding appreciatively, and then... he spotted the sneaky, suspicious Zhang Wenhai trying to shrink behind a shared bike.

The Big Brother immediately frowned, stopped in his tracks, and followed Zhang Wenhai's movements with a wary gaze, muttering, "This bastard... doesn't look like a good guy!"

Hiding further back, Jiang Ye, from his angle, saw the change in the Big Brother's expression at the convenience store entrance and his heart instantly sank.

Oh no! This is bad! A concerned citizen has gotten involved!

He had no other choice but to grit his teeth and continue following Zhang Wenhai, praying in his heart that this Big Brother would just watch and not meddle.

Unfortunately, this Big Brother munching on oden was clearly a good citizen with both a strong sense of responsibility and justice.

Watching Zhang Wenhai sneakily follow Lin Wanxing past, he instinctively felt uneasy and subconsciously craned his neck to take a closer look in the direction Zhang Wenhai had come from... and what he saw was shocking!

He was astonished to find that, about ten meters behind that Perverted Man, there was another man in a dark down jacket, wearing a hat, with his face completely covered, sneaking around in an even more perverted, even sneakier posture, tiptoeing and peeking... tailing the Perverted Man in the middle!

Big Brother: "!!!"

The half fish ball in his mouth nearly fell out. His eyes instantly widened, and he was deeply shaken inside: "Holy crap! There's another one?! What the hell is this situation? Matryoshka-style tailing? Russian Pervert nesting dolls?"

The Big Brother's gaze instantly escalated from wary to shocked. Thinking of a certain possibility, he suddenly felt the fish ball in his hand wasn't so tasty anymore.

He absolutely couldn't stand by and do nothing!

Whether it was the girl ahead being harassed or the guy in the middle being targeted by a Pervert, it was all wrong!

He decisively pulled out his phone, hid behind the convenience store sign, dialed the police emergency number, and whispered urgently:

"Hello! 110? I want to report a crime!"

"Jinqiao Road, near the Lawson Convenience Store!"

"There's a Perverted Man, yes, wearing a leather jacket, not very tall, tailing a beauty in a long down jacket! His behavior is very suspicious!"

"And! Here's the key point! There's another Pervert! Tailing this Perverted Man!"

"Yes! You heard right! Another one! Wearing a dark down jacket, a hat, can't see his face..."

"Yes! Extremely perverted! His eyes are shifty, his movements are sneaky..."

"Anyway, both of their behaviors are very suspicious... holy crap crap crap!"

The Big Brother's voice suddenly became even more panicked because he saw that Pervert tailing the Perverted Man suddenly lower his head and chuckle. The curve of his smile looked especially eerie in the shadow of the light!

"Officer! That Pervert laughed! Laughed so pervertedly! It's terrifying! Please send someone to check it out quickly!"

The Dispatcher on the other end was clearly taken aback. In their entire career, they hadn't received many reports of "a Pervert tailing a Perverted Man," but out of professionalism, they quickly recorded the location and situation, notifying nearby patrol officers to go check it out.

And all of this, Jiang Ye, who was fully focused on the "art of reverse tailing" and trying to maintain the "beauty-Pervert-gentleman" balance, was completely unaware of.

Seeing that the passerby didn't seem inclined to meddle, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Looking again at the [Mission Progress: 68%] displayed by the system in his mind, he felt victory was within reach and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tsk~

This mission isn't as hard as I imagined~

Hehe, looks like that women's bathroom special pass... ahem, no, that "Presence Reduction Halo" is already waving at me!

Ohohohoho~
