Qi Xingzhou cradled Jiang Ning’s phone, completely aware of the admins’ power trips in kicking out users and yet choosing to remain silent, continuing to answer other netizens’ questions. It was clear he was deliberately indulging the admins’ behavior.
However, after he finished, he couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty and peeked at Jiang Ning. Upon seeing she didn’t notice his mischief, he quietly promoted two netizens whose messages he liked to be admins.
With fewer trolls in the live chat, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
Ever since they found out that Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were off to catch a criminal again, the audience in the live chat room couldn’t wait.
But no matter how much they asked, Qi Xingzhou refused to reveal a single word about the next criminal.
Watching his handsome profile on the screen, the netizens assumed he didn’t want to leak any information and didn’t press further.
As more and more people learned that Jiang Ning had started a live stream, the number of viewers in the room kept rising.
By the time Jiang Ning parked the car at the side of the road, the viewership in the live chat room had exploded past 320,000!
Aside from the netizens there for the excitement, even various official police department accounts from around the country rushed to join in.
[Xiangxi Police: @Capital City Police, Ah Jing, what’s going on with you? Why are the people feeling the need to worry about societal safety? *lights a cigarette.jpg*]
[A City Police: @Capital City Police, Capital City sis, even your civilians are outperforming your full-time officers. That’s not good, you guys need to step it up. *pointing fingers.jpg*]
[Panzhihua Fire Department: Came for the fame, heard there’s a tough cookie named Jiang Ning in Ah Jing’s territory. Strange, isn’t it usually the beat cops who sprint to the crime scene for us? Maybe it’s a different custom elsewhere?]
[Wow, first time seeing so many intimidating official accounts in a live stream!]
[Hahaha, I’ve only seen Xiao Xue, Xiao Rui, and Xiao Fenghua engage in corporate warfare before. I had no idea you government officials knew how to have so much fun online!]
[Stop guessing, it must be the Gen Z who took over!]
Everyone was having a field day with their jokes, unaware that the Capital City Police Department was already on tenterhooks!
Since Jiang Ning had been driving, they refrained from calling her to ensure her safety on the road. Now that she had parked, the Capital City Police Department immediately sent someone to contact Jiang Ning.
And they sent someone she knew very well—Zhang Lang.
As soon as Jiang Ning’s phone rang, the live stream with hundreds of thousands online froze for a moment.
Seeing the name Zhang Lang displayed on the screen, Qi Xingzhou held out the phone to Jiang Ning, whispering softly, "Do you want to take it?"
"Take it," Jiang Ning said as she took the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Zhang Lang’s shocked voice instantly rang out from the phone: "Sister Jiang, you’re you’re you’re catching criminals again?"
Zhang Lang’s shock wasn’t feigned.
They had just apprehended over a dozen criminals an hour ago!
The still-simmering criminals were confined in the interrogation room and hadn’t been fully processed yet, and here was Jiang Ning, on the hunt again!
When Zhang Lang first heard the news, he couldn’t believe it. He thought his colleague was messing with him, until they showed him Jiang Ning’s live stream, and Zhang Lang had no choice but to accept the reality.
"It was a spur of the moment," Jiang Ning said. "What is it?"
Zhang Lang, knowing full well she hadn’t watched the live chat, promptly explained the situation and added, "What do we know about the criminal you’re preparing to catch? Where is he? I’ll immediately bring colleagues to support you."
Jiang Ning didn’t jump to conclusions lightly: "I might not necessarily be going after a criminal."
Zhang Lang became confused: "Huh?"
Jiang Ning explained, "Someone paid for trolls to badmouth me online deliberately. I figured since I had nothing else to do, why not confront them offline and ask what exactly they have against me, why they went to the trouble of spending money to smear my reputation."
Zhang Lang was at a loss for words: "...???"
Zhang Lang was astonished: "!!!"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ning said, "I’ll send you the location. You can come if you want."
