After listening to Jiang Ning’s revelation, everyone was furious.
"Thank goodness! If you hadn’t exposed him, I would’ve paid!" A certain lady, still in shock, patted her chest, clutching her small purse.
She had almost lost her money!
"You beast!" Some angry uncles couldn’t help but step forward and give Chang Gaoduo a kick.
"Refund, refund! I just paid nine hundred bucks!" This person had just made the purchase and hadn’t had time to leave yet.
Of course, there were also sharp-eyed people who recognized Jiang Ning: "Ahhhh, Jiang Ning! You’re Jiang Ning! Oh my, I’ve seen Jiang Ning in person!"
Shen Zha: ... He just knew!
Someone else continued to add to Shen Zha’s troubles: "Not just that! Zhouzhou also came! Hahahahaha, skipping class was worth it for this!"
The scene was chaotic, but fortunately the police, who received reports from the public, quickly arrived.
With the officers’ sorting out, order was swiftly restored.
Moreover, the police had clearly understood the whole story from Jiang Ning’s words.
The officers waved their hands and took Chang Gaoduo to the police station on the spot.
Accompanying them were Jiang Ning, Qi Xingzhou, Shen Zha, and Yang Shu, as well as several victims who bought the "air conditioner" but hadn’t left yet.
Everyone had to go to the station to make a statement.
Luckily, the station was not far from here, and though the police car couldn’t accommodate all the people, walking there wouldn’t take long.
The onlookers followed along, forming a large group heading towards the police station.
During the journey, many unaware people noticed the scenario, asked what was going on, and were quickly briefed by those who knew.
In short, the case of the air-conditioner scammer in Hetian Town spread widely after this incident.
By the time everyone returned home from the market and shared the story, it was estimated that those fooled in the morning and who bought humidifiers from Chang Gaoduo would know about it.
Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou had practically become regulars at the police station in the past six months.
Now, without the need for Jiang Ning, Qi Xingzhou alone could complete the records.
However, since Qi Xingzhou arrived later today, and it was Jiang Ning who discovered Chang Gaoduo’s scam, the statement had to be taken by Jiang Ning this time.
The officers, knowing the names Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, purposely glanced up at the two.
No wonder they were voted as the "most liked" figures by colleagues on the public security intranet for two consecutive months! With such impeccable execution! If colleagues possessed Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou’s speed and success rate, who wouldn’t like them!
While Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were giving their statements, Shen Zha stood in a corner of the corridor, contacting the program crew to monitor online activity. If any new entries about Jiang Ning|Hetian Town emerged, they were to contact him!
On the other side of the corridor, Yang Shu was also on the phone with Qi Chen.
Yang Shu briefly recounted how she and Qi Xingzhou arrived in Hetian Town, just in time to see Jiang Ning catching the culprit.
Qi Chen listened, then subtly smiled.
However, this trace of emotion didn’t let Yang Shu know. After hearing Yang Shu’s words, Qi Chen spoke coldly yet authoritatively: "I’ve assigned you as Jiang Ning’s agent; from now on, follow her lead."
Implying that Jiang Ning would be her boss from now on.
Yang Shu caught the meaning behind Qi Chen’s words and immediately apologized: "I’m sorry President Qi, I know what to do now."
