Even After My Death-Chapter 611 - 515: Jiang Ning Starts a Live Stream
Chapter 611: Chapter 515: Jiang Ning Starts a Live Stream
Qi Chen had sent over quite a bit of evidence obtained from the internet trolls.
Of course, the trolls wouldn’t directly send the information of their buyer to Qi Chen, and those who would hire trolls to sway public opinion wouldn’t use their real-name verified accounts to trade with the trolls.
However, to clarify the identity of the other party, Qi Chen had his ways, although the process was a bit troublesome.
The ultimate result showed that there were actually three groups of people who had hired the trolls to sway public opinion on the internet.
Huo Miao, Huo Li, and some other opportunists.
The trolls hired were not just from one group; they had just started to enter the fray, heating up the scene but had not yet demonstrated their usual capabilities.
If it weren’t for Qi Chen identifying and rooting out the source, they would probably be fanning the flames all over the internet by now.
By evening, they would have brought the opinion for "punishing Jiang Ning" to a climax.
If it had been before, Qi Chen would have taken care of these matters detrimental to Jiang Ning as a matter of course, after all, he had done so in the past.
The Qi family members were protective of their own, and even more so, they loved Jiang Ning by association.
When Jiang Ning had participated in the program previously, her reputation had been rapidly cleansed, greatly helped by the Qi family behind the scenes.
It’s just that they hadn’t informed Jiang Ning.
Now that Qi Xingzhou had regained consciousness and became increasingly calm and clever, Qi Chen was keen on tempering Qi Xingzhou, deliberately throwing the responsibility for dealing with the situation to him.
Upon seeing these investigative results, Jiang Ning laughed silently without a sound.
Even though she hadn’t paid much attention these days, she was aware that the Huo Company was in a precarious situation.
With the disclosure of Huo Miao’s pregnancy, the relationship among the Huo family members had become more delicate.
These two people still had the leisure to kick her while she was down???
But then thinking about the character of the Huo family members, it seemed somehow unsurprising they would engage in such underhanded actions.
The third wave of people, however, puzzled Jiang Ning a bit.
Perhaps it was the difficulty of the investigation, but Qi Chen had not provided any clear identification of the person involved.
Jiang Ning could only communicate with the System in her mind: "When did I make so many enemies?"
Aside from the irreconcilable conflict with the Huo family, she couldn’t remember offending anyone else, and not just a few either.
The System dutifully kicked in, performed a quick scan, and then casually said, [Host, you seem to be becoming the nemesis of all the villainous forces.]
"Hmm?" Jiang Ning looked down, pondered for two seconds, and then suddenly had a clarity of thought: "Is it other fugitives on the run?"
[Bingo! Correct!]
The System was astonished, not expecting the host to be so sharp.
This third wave of people buying trolls to create opinions unfavorable to Jiang Ning were almost all fugitives from the law, people who employed less than clean and honorable methods.
Jiang Ning’s online reputation had been too large in recent months.
For ordinary people reading about her apprehending criminals, they might feel satisfied and admire Jiang Ning’s bravery, which maintained social order and brought justice for the victims.
But from the perspective of other criminals, when they saw these news stories, they didn’t feel the same way in their hearts.
If Jiang Ning’s act of catching criminals had only happened once or twice, that would be one thing, but in just one month, she had sent hundreds of people to the station for questioning!
Who was as capable of catching them as she was? Every place she went to, she racked up a KPI.
Even those fed by the state didn’t have such mysterious efficacy.
To call her a walking criminal harvester was no exaggeration.
In just two months, Jiang Ning had become a miraculous figure in the eyes of the netizens and a thorn in the side for many criminals at large.
Although Jiang Ning hadn’t caught them personally, who knew if one day they would be delivered by this woman into custody!
Now that they finally got a hold on her weakness, why would anyone pass up such a rare opportunity?
Even if they couldn’t swiftly send Jiang Ning away, it would still be good to pull her down from the pedestal in the hearts of the netizens.
And so the situation of the third wave buying trolls came to be.
After finishing, the System asked Jiang Ning, [Host, what do you plan to do?]
Jiang Ning returned the phone to Qi Xingzhou and replied in her mind, "First, organize their information and send it to me."
They had initiated trouble on their own without her even going after them.
This time, she really couldn’t be blamed for taking action.
Before handing the phone to Jiang Ning, Qi Xingzhou had already seen the message sent by Qi Chen. After Jiang Ning returned the phone, he asked a question similar to the System’s, "Big brother is asking how we want to handle this?"
"Let’s eat first; we can talk after the meal," Jiang Ning said, though she already had a plan in mind.
She wouldn’t let Huo Li and Huo Miao off the hook.
If someone respected her, she would respect them even more.
The same went for this third group of people.
By the time Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou had finished their meal, the System had also huffed and puffed and presented all the information it had just found in front of Jiang Ning.
"Host, the search is complete. A total of 26 people have been detected bribing online mercenaries; among them, 22 have committed illegal actions, while the remaining four have no prior criminal records. However, they all share one common trait: they are star-chasers."
Jiang Ning found it unbelievable, "...Are the stars they’re chasing the ones I sent to the station?"
"Affirmative." The System admitted.
Jiang Ning was speechless.
Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say.
Putting aside those four for the moment, Jiang Ning turned to look at the information for the other 22 individuals and then discovered that the majority of them were in Capital City.
Jiang Ning tapped her fingers lightly on the tabletop and smiled at Qi Xingzhou, "Let’s go; we’ve got work to do."
Originally, she had thought about lying low for a while so as not to arouse even more suspicion from Pei Yucheng.
Now, well... it was these people who had actively sought her out, not the other way around.
Free targets, one would be foolish not to take them!
Online, the controversy surrounding Jiang Ning was growing more intense.
Midday was one of the peak traffic times of the day, and the online mercenaries took to the stage, easily pushing the topic of Liu Chusheng being assaulted by Jiang Ning to a hotly debated issue.
Indeed, Jiang Ning’s actions were highly controversial.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Jiang Ning was neither a police officer nor did she have the right to enforce the law.
Moreover, the situation at the time did not align with self-defense or acting heroically in defense of justice.
It was Jiang Ning who had proactively approached and opened the car door to beat someone up.
Under various factors, more and more internet users were being convinced by the meticulously prepared rhetoric and spin created by the online mercenaries, and public opinion gradually leaned towards Liu Chusheng’s side.
Huo Miao lay comfortably on the couch playing with her phone, happily giving likes to comments like "In the eyes of the law, everyone is equal, even Jiang Ning should bear the responsibility for injuring someone."
In her view, Jiang Ning was foolish.
Despite already having such high popularity, she was not content.
Catching a few criminals made her think she was a savior?
She was dumb enough to inflict injury intentionally!
The crime of intentional injury could be major or minor; in serious cases, it could lead to prison, and in lighter cases, detention and compensation.
Regardless of which outcome befell Jiang Ning, it would be a delight for Huo Miao to see.
She had been detained because of Jiang Ning, and now it was Jiang Ning’s turn to experience that detention.
Just as Huo Miao was gleefully fantasizing about the news that Jiang Ning would be arrested by the police next, a sudden new hot topic emerged out of the blue:
"Girls in the comment section, stop blabbering, go look, Jiang Ning is live streaming!"
Live... live streaming?
Huo Miao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
At a time like this, Jiang Ning still had the mood to live stream?!
She snorted coldly, skillfully typing to search for the entrance to Jiang Ning’s live stream room.
She really wanted to see what Jiang Ning was up to!
