More and more netizens were becoming aware of this incident.
The two and a half-minute video released by Capital City Public Security fully demonstrated their supportive stance behind Jiang Ning.
The fans who supported Jiang Ning were so excited that they almost couldn’t speak.
Those who had boasted in the comments, "If Jiang Ning has enforcement power, I’ll eat shit upside down!" "If Jiang Ning isn’t protected by capital, I’ll castrate myself!" "If there’s no scandal in Jiang Ning intentionally hurting Liu Chusheng without taking responsibility, I’ll drain all my blood for you to drink as water!" saw their comments disappear without a trace in an instant.
Netizens who had been looking forward to the drama were unable to find the original comments, feeling both helpless and somewhat relieved.
These internet pests loved to spread rumors and were easily swayed. Before the outcome was clear, they sneered and bashed others. Once the results came out, they immediately deleted their comments, pretending like nothing had happened.
After watching the official video from Capital City and finishing their likes, comments, and sharing, they hurriedly returned to Jiang Ning’s livestream.
Everyone remembered that Jiang Ning was still streaming, capturing the financiers behind the paid trolls!
But to their surprise, upon entering, they saw Jiang Ning had already caught someone—a young man who looked to be only in his twenties.
[Ah!!! What happened!]
[Ahhhh!!! I missed it, I missed it! What’s going on now?!]
[Who is this person Jiang Jiang caught? What’s going on!]
[Hahaha, you guys aren’t too late, we’ve been here watching in the livestream. Jiang Ning just caught this guy.]
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jiang Ning was just chatting with us while walking around, and this guy was brushing his teeth in front of his house. The moment he saw Jiang Ning, he threw away his mouthwash cup and toothbrush and ran!]
[Hehe, and then he couldn’t outrun her and got dragged back by Jiang Ning.]
[LMAO, why did he run?]
After figuring out the full story, the netizens watched the screen eagerly.
After Jiang Ning caught the man, he struggled fiercely. Qi Xingzhou quickly stepped forward to take over, grabbing the man’s wrist and restraining his movement.
"Why did you run?" Jiang Ning asked, staring at the young man in front of her.
In fact, in her heart, Jiang Ning was clear, this was the person she and Qi Xingzhou were aiming to capture, one of the financiers who had paid trolls to smear her: Miao Bin.
Miao Bin struggled vigorously, his face reddening and his neck thickening, but Qi Xingzhou’s grip on his wrist remained unmovable.
It was then that Miao Bin realized that the people he had seen in those videos online weren’t weak; it was just that the two people in front of him were too strong!
Hearing Jiang Ning’s words caused him some panic, yet he stubbornly resisted, saying, "Why would I run if you weren’t chasing me?"
In fact, deep down, Miao Bin was also feeling regretful.
He had played games all night and hadn’t woken up until noon.
After waking up, he saw messages from the paid trolls saying they were ready to start stirring things up.
The trolls also sent him numerous records of comments and bullet-screen messages.
Miao Bin logged into Douyin, somewhat pleased, expecting to see Jiang Ning’s reputation ruined and her being cursed by netizens.
But the moment he entered the livestream, he heard Jiang Ning clashing with the trolls, and what she was doing this livestream for—to catch the financiers behind the paid trolls! Wasn’t that him!
Miao Bin leapt from his bed in a panic.
He thought Jiang Ning’s plan was somewhat far-fetched, yet he felt an inexplicable anxiety.
He watched Jiang Ning’s livestream for a while, and because Jiang Ning had blurred the background, he didn’t realise that she was actually in his vicinity!
Miao Bin thought to brush his teeth before leaving the house. No matter how capable Jiang Ning was, even if she found his home, what could she do if he wasn’t there?
Little did he know, before he finished brushing his teeth, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou appeared right in front of him!
Moreover, when he saw Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, he clearly noticed Jiang Ning giving him a meaningful smile after their eyes met.
Clearly, she was coming for him!
"You did that on purpose!" Miao Bin gritted his teeth as he spoke, his expression angry.
If Jiang Ning hadn’t deliberately smiled at him, with a challenging look in that smile, how could his first reaction be to turn and run!
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Ning feigned ignorance, "If you didn’t run, how could we possibly have caught you?"
Qi Xingzhou firmly restrained Miao Bin; there was no need for Jiang Ning to catch him herself, nor did they worry about him running away.
Jiang Ning took two steps back, her gaze settling on Miao Bin, "Speak up, why did you run just now? Did you recognize who we are? No, that’s not right, Zhouzhou and I aren’t the mythic Kuaixing chasing souls. There are so many people on the street; you saw them and weren’t afraid, so why fear us?"
"Let me think..." Jiang Ning smiled, realizing something, "You couldn’t possibly have come across our live stream early on and knew the purpose of our trip, been guilty conscious, and that’s why you ran, right?"
"No!" Miao Bin, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately objected. He stared at Jiang Ning with a bit of wariness, momentarily unsure what Jiang Ning was thinking.
Earlier, while he was brushing his teeth, Jiang Ning’s expression when she spotted him was unmistakably like she was coming for him. But now that they had caught him, how come Jiang Ning seemed like she didn’t know his identity?
Could it be that he was mistaken just now? Did Jiang Ning actually not give him a provocative smile after all?
Miao Bin’s expression was full of suspicion and uncertainty.
He dared not meet Jiang Ning’s gaze head-on, his eyes shifting elsewhere as he said in short breaths, "I ran just now because I suddenly remembered I had other things to do, and I was in a hurry to get something."
He definitely couldn’t admit that he ran because he was panicked after seeing Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou!
"Miao Bin, did you get into trouble?"
At this moment, some people noticed the strange atmosphere among the trio and, curious, gathered around.
There were strangers passing by as well as neighbors who lived nearby and clearly knew Miao Bin.
Being seen by familiar faces in such an embarrassing state, Miao Bin felt extremely ashamed.
"It’s nothing! Mind your own business!" After he replied, he angrily said to Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, "I don’t know you two at all! I still have to pick up my things; can you let me go now?"
"No. Whether you know us or not isn’t up to you to decide." Jiang Ning refused and turned around to take something out of her bag, placing it on top of his head.
[Hahahaha, did Jiang Ning catch him just to give him a cartoon hat?]
Not only the netizens in the live stream but also the other onlookers were curious about the thing on Miao Bin’s head.
Miao Bin didn’t know what Jiang Ning had placed on top of his head; he twisted his neck vigorously but couldn’t shake the object off.
Miao Bin’s expression turned even angrier, "What exactly do you want to do!"
"Nothing much, I’m just asking, did you run because you saw Qi Xingzhou and me?" Jiang Ning asked leisurely, contrasting starkly with the agitated Miao Bin.
"No! I just don’t know you two at all!" Miao Bin retorted furiously, his tone resolute,
After the conversation just now, he had already regained the composure and pretense he normally possessed.
But the instant after his words fell, a crisp, cute child’s voice rang out:
"Master! He’s lying! He’s lying!"
