The bankruptcy of the Huo Family was exposed the day after Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou returned to Capital City.
The netizens all knew the relationship between Jiang Ning and the Huo Family, as well as the previous attitude of the Huo Family towards Jiang Ning. Now that the Huo Family was bankrupt, the netizens were ecstatic, as if they had won a great victory.
[Hahaha, all the recent resistance finally paid off, they went bankrupt!]
[Shouldn’t we go to Sheng’an to buy some snacks to celebrate!]
Of course, there were still media and paparazzi who wanted to interview Jiang Ning for her thoughts on the matter, but Jiang Ning did not respond at all.
She had long stated that everything about the Huo Family had nothing to do with her.
However, on the day the Huo Family formally declared bankruptcy, Jiang Ning called Qi Xingzhou, and the two secretly went out for hot pot to celebrate.
No reason other than thinking today was a good day, haha.
Jiang Ning’s fans on the internet unknowingly broke through forty million, reaching a level unmatched by any top celebrity in the industry.
Originally, Jiang Ning didn’t feel much about it, thinking it was just a constantly changing string of data. Until she went out with Qi Xingzhou, and was recognized several times in a row, and even during an instance of capturing criminals, she was recognized at a glance, only then did Jiang Ning have a concrete sense of her forty million follower count.
But even if recognized, the tasks needed to be completed.
Jiang Ning directly pinned the thief to the ground, and Qi Xingzhou quickly stepped forward, skillfully took out the handcuffs, and put them on his hands.
Li Le was about to cry, he didn’t expect such bad luck, actually running into Jiang Ning!
No wonder when he left home this morning, a pile of bird poop fell on his head, originally reminding him not to go out today!
Li Le twisted his head, anxiously begging Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, please, I know I was wrong, I won’t dare again."
He wore a mourning expression, suddenly having an idea: "I’m actually your fan too! I often watch your livestreams, can you give me a chance to reform?"
"So what if you’re a fan? Watching my livestreams regularly and still doing such things?" Jiang Ning glared at him: "If you really wanted to reform, you wouldn’t be a repeat offender."
Li Le was dumbfounded, a feeling of being seen through by Jiang Ning arose spontaneously.
Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou did not call the police, instead personally escorting Li Le to the nearby police station.
Zhang Lang hadn’t seen Jiang Ning for quite a while, and suddenly seeing Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou appear in his view, he was a bit stunned.
Upon seeing the person dragged by the two, Zhang Lang immediately realized Jiang Ning seemed to be delivering the criminal personally, and he quickly approached: "What’s going on?"
Jiang Ning didn’t expect to run into Zhang Lang so coincidentally, she handed Li Le over to Zhang Lang: "Ran into him on the road just now, he was stealing."
Li Le hung his head, sliding down and apologizing: "Police officer, I know I was wrong."
"What did you steal?" Zhang Lang’s gaze fell on Li Le, his expression somewhat amused, despite telling himself countless times not to be surprised by Jiang Ning’s ability to find and capture criminals, he still felt amazed every time Jiang Ning encountered such matters.
"He went to steal someone’s phone, didn’t manage to steal it, and we caught him," Jiang Ning explained.
Zhang Lang nodded knowingly: "Oh, attempted theft."
He handed Li Le over to another colleague: "Take him inside for record-taking."
Li Le almost hurriedly followed the police officer, knowing that attempted theft at most meant education and criticism, and the worst was detention for a few days, which had no impact on him.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Jiang Ning’s voice: "His actions just now were particularly skilled, I suggest you investigate, he should be a repeat offender."
Zhang Lang nodded: "Okay."
His previously suspended heart finally died.
After delivering Li Le, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were ready to leave since they had nothing else to do, but Zhang Lang called out: "Jiang Ning, there’s something, I want to talk to you."
Jiang Ning stopped: "What is it?"
Zhang Lang led Jiang Ning to the side, looking somewhat embarrassed: "It’s , the Lie Detection Helmet I borrowed from you before, where did you buy it? Our unit wants to buy one too."
Jiang Ning countered with a question: "Isn’t it useful?"
How could it not be useful!
It was incredibly useful!
Zhang Lang couldn’t resist recounting what had happened: "When I borrowed the helmet, it was actually my personal idea and action.
At that time, we detained a cunning person, clearly all the evidence pointed towards him, but he just wouldn’t confess, even taunting the police repeatedly.
His status was not low, and many people wanted to bail him out, which made it difficult for our colleagues.
Seeing the detention period was about to expire, if this time we let him go, who knows when we could detain him again next time..."
That’s why he went to Jiang Ning for the helmet.
Back then, colleagues seeing him bring the helmet to work laughed, thinking he must have been fooled.
Until later, seeing the helmet’s effect firsthand, everyone was in awe.
Not only that cunning person, but many other hard-mouthed suspects began to reveal details of the crime scenes and other evidence under the helmet’s influence.
Even other police branches heard about it and came to borrow the helmet.
If not for knowing Jiang Ning disconnected from the outside world to join a variety show recently, Zhang Lang would’ve contacted Jiang Ning long ago.
"It’s good it’s useful, but currently there’s only this one, there’s no mass production yet, and you won’t find it on the market," Jiang Ning said.
Hearing this, Zhang Lang tentatively asked: "Is this your own research?"
"No, others researched it, but the blueprints are with me," Jiang Ning said composedly.
She could actually withstand not producing it?!
"When do you plan to produce it?" he couldn’t help asking.
Jiang Ning replied casually: "Depends on the situation."
"Depends on the situation?"
In the office, a man in uniform looked up at Zhang Lang: "Did she really say that?"
"Yes." Zhang Lang nodded.
Just after Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou left, he immediately went to the director’s office and informed the director of Jiang Ning’s reply.
Director Zhang put down his pen, smiled: "Alright, I got it."
The leader’s attitude left Zhang Lang somewhat perplexed.
During this period, Director Zhang had asked about Jiang Ning’s situation several times, clearly showing concern for the Lie Detection Helmet, yet now with Jiang Ning appearing, Director Zhang seemed less anxious?
Just as he was about to leave, Director Zhang said: "Send me Jiang Ning’s phone number."
Only then did Zhang Lang suddenly realize, Jiang Ning’s expression moments ago seemed as if she already anticipated this.
"Alright." Zhang Lang sent Jiang Ning’s phone number to the leader’s WeChat, and after leaving the office, thought for a moment, and also sent a WeChat message to Jiang Ning.
