"Everyone has some level of curiosity, and that’s normal. I know that even before this live broadcast ends, there will be a lot more speculation on the internet about what just happened.
The internet is not a lawless place. Please do not spread rumors or fabricate them, and do not inflict secondary harm on the victims and their families, or become an unwitting accomplice to the perpetrator.
For specific case details, please pay attention to the announcements from Anyang Police. I hope everyone can be a law-abiding and good citizen."
Jiang Ning’s tone was serious and earnest.
Since she left the variety show and redeemed her reputation, live broadcasts to capture criminals weren’t infrequent.
Usually, when talking to netizens on camera, she was very down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and felt very approachable.
This was the first time the audience saw Jiang Ning take such a serious stance on the topic.
For this reason, Jiang Ning even turned the camera around to show herself on the screen.
As the audience in front of the screen saw Jiang Ning’s earnest expression and then looked back at their own lighthearted and funny comments, they suddenly realized something and earnestly started to apologize.
Jiang Ning’s words struck a chord and served as a sudden wake-up call for them.
Many people liked to watch Jiang Ning’s live streams, partly because they saw things during her streams that they couldn’t see on other streamers’ channels.
Jiang Ning’s live streams were always about real events, unscripted, and every time she managed to catch the wrongdoers and hand them over to the police, giving them the punishment they deserved. It was like satisfying the audience’s desire for vigilante justice in real life.
However, precisely because it wasn’t scripted, the suffering of the victims was real and shouldn’t be made light of.
One may not realize that an offhand comment could cause secondary harm to the victims.
Outside the courtyard of Li Fu’s house, quite a number of people stood from afar. Some had been inside earlier, watching the excitement before being persuaded to leave by the police, and others from the village had come over after hearing the commotion.
After Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou came out, many people curiously whispered to Jiang Ning:
"Miss, did Li Fu’s family hide someone inside? I knew from that voice, it’s definitely a woman!"
"You and your questions. If Li Fu’s family had hidden a woman, wouldn’t his wife be the first to make a fuss?"
"Girl, tell us, what exactly did Li Fu and his wife do wrong?"
Everyone was buzzing with questions, as though they were dying to pry open Jiang Ning’s mouth for a satisfying answer.
"I’m not very clear on the specifics, the police are inside. If you’re curious, you can ask them yourselves." Jiang Ning dodged an outstretched hand and turned to point at Officer Chen and the others inside the gate.
Upon hearing this, the villagers recoiled a little.
If they had the guts to go up and ask the police, they wouldn’t be standing out here, looking for excitement.
Aside from the nosy villagers looking on, there stood Li Hao and Li Mai, two brothers, as well as Li Zhiguo, who had hurried over in a rush.
Li Zhiguo had been working in the mountains, and rushed back as soon as he received the call.
By now, he had been standing aside for a while and had learned from Old Man Zhang and others of the deeds his sons had done.
Before Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou came out, Li Zhiguo was so angry that he had given his two sons a good beating.
At this moment, Li Hao and Li Mai were pathetically standing to the side, their heads down, wiping away tears.
Confronted by Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, Li Zhiguo was extremely embarrassed.
He stepped forward and spoke in a low voice to Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, "I am the father of Li Hao and Li Mai. I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not disciplining my children properly, allowing them to do such things on the internet..."
