Qi Xingzhou rarely took the initiative to visit Jiang Ning, and it just happened that neither of them had other things to do. Jiang Ning pondered whether to continue taking Qi Xingzhou on missions.
She had used a medicine acquired from the System before going to sleep last night, and her dislocated arm had already healed, with no lingering side effects.
Just now, as Jiang Ning stood on the balcony practicing the Eight Silk Brocade, her arm didn’t feel the slightest bit odd, as good as new.
Just as she was about to call the System, her phone rang first.
Seeing the name displayed on the screen, Jiang Ning quickly answered, "Hello? Officer Tang?"
"Yes, it’s me. Good morning," Tang Zhenghao responded, his voice clear and bright. "Jiang Ning, the mastermind behind Miao Wenjun leaving the kitten corpses at your doorstep, we’ve found them."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning’s expression was somewhat as expected.
The case of Miao Wenjun leaving kitten corpses at her door to intimidate her was handled by Tang Zhenghao.
Tang Zhenghao hadn’t called her in days, and as soon as she saw his name, Jiang Ning had already guessed the purpose of his call.
In fact, Jiang Ning had already known from the System who the mastermind was, but at this moment, she still feigned surprise and asked, "Who?"
"Guan Wufu," Tang Zhenghao said. "You might not remember this name, but if I mention the Fuhua Town human trafficking case, you’ll probably know who it is."
"Is he the son of one of the traffickers?" Jiang Ning said as she pulled up the information provided by the System panel.
"That’s right," Tang Zhenghao nodded, not expecting Jiang Ning to be so astute.
Over the past few days, Tang Zhenghao and his colleagues had been working hard to trace who had bribed Miao Wenjun.
In the beginning, Miao Wenjun was not willing to tell the truth, but the police officers had dealt with all kinds of criminals before and had their own interrogation methods.
Miao Wenjun was quite foolish too; he had taken the money yet had no idea who the person behind the scenes was.
Fortunately, Tang Zhenghao and his team managed to find some clues and, after their diligent investigation, finally uncovered the mastermind.
Two months earlier, Jiang Ning had encountered a kidnapping incident in Fuhua Town, which she ended up thwarting by killing in self-defense. Not only did she rescue other kidnapped victims, but also tied several traffickers on the roof of a car and delivered them to the police.
Subsequently, the public security authorities followed the clues and cracked several major cases.
Among the dozens of suspected traffickers arrested, He Hui was one of them, a "high-ranking" trafficker who eventually received a severe legal punishment.
And Guan Wufu was He Hui’s son.
After He Hui’s arrest, the nefarious deeds she had done also came to light, becoming common knowledge among the neighbors.
She was a trafficker!
People wanted her punished!
The neighbors’ attitudes toward the Guan Family shifted instantly.
Even though He Hui had been taken away, it didn’t change everyone’s negative views of the other members of the Guan Family.
Quite a few people ran to the Guan family’s front door to splatter them with black dog’s blood, throw rotten vegetable leaves and garbage. After a while, the stench around the Guan Family home was unbearable.
Guan Wufu was unaware of the things his mother had done.
But he knew that the peaceful and happy life of their family had been shattered and turned into what it was now, all because of Jiang Ning!
If it hadn’t been for Jiang Ning’s exposure, how could their family have become like rats that everyone wanted to get rid of?
Even though he and his wife had already moved his father and child from their hometown, he still harbored a grudge against Jiang Ning in his heart.
Especially when he saw everyone on the internet praising Jiang Ning as a hero, his dissatisfaction grew even more.
If those people used to throw garbage and rotten vegetables at his home, then he would hire someone to place dead rats and cats at Jiang Ning’s doorstep!
Guan Wufu initially planned to employ Miao Wenjun long-term to intermittently throw a stinking rat or a dead cat’s or dog’s corpse at Jiang Ning’s residence.
But he hadn’t expected that on the very first attempt, he would be caught by the police.
And Miao Wenjun confessed that Guan Wufu had wanted him to place dead rats, but the smell was so foul that even Miao Wenjun couldn’t stand it. This led him to substitute it with a dead cat instead.
Tang Zhenghao said, "The person is now in our custody, and they have confessed to what they did without any denial. However, his family has been begging to settle this with you privately after finding out about it, what do you think?"
