Ye Anqi suspected that even if she went to stay at hotels or hostels, she would encounter the same thing.
She tried it out and sure enough...
"Our hostel costs 88 yuan per night, and you need to show your ID card, and we also need to take a full-body photo for our records," the hostel staff told her.
"Why do you need to take a full-body photo?"
"Last night, several female fugitives escaped from the prison. We have been notified to photograph every guest and then upload the pictures onto the government's website. Rest assured, your photo will absolutely not leak. If it does, we will be legally responsible."
Ye Anqi nodded faintly, "I see."
She pretended to scorn the hostel's shabby decor, "I'll look at other places, thank you."
Exiting the hostel, Ye Anqi wandered the streets, clueless about where to go.
She couldn't rent any place in the entire city, nor could she stay in hotels or hostels.
Was she expected to break into someone's home at night or sleep on the streets?
