Pushed by his parents, Miao Bin walked with his head down, his expression gloomy.
Jiang Ning, as if she hadn’t seen his ugly look, asked, "Why did you hire online trolls to smear me?"
The onlookers craned their necks with curiosity, waiting for Miao Bin’s answer.
The live stream audience was also eagerly anticipating.
But Miao Bin pressed his lips together.
Miao Hai was nearly frantic, pulling on his son, "Just say it already! What’s the use of being stubborn now!"
Like Jiang Ning had just said, she had already found her way to them.
If he were a bit more honest now and came forward, the outcome would be completely different when compared to being interrogated later on!
"It’s the group," Miao Bin finally relented, frowning, "There was a group, I saw many people talking about hiring trolls, so I followed along."
"The truth, he’s telling the truth," the lie detector spoke up.
Miao Bin’s hands were clenched into fists, and hearing the lie detector finally stop accusing him of lying, he didn’t feel the slightest bit happy; instead, he felt apprehensive.
Where on earth did Jiang Ning get this hat...!
He originally thought it was just a prop to scare him and had not expected it to actually have the ability to test truth from falsehood!
[Wow! Finally, he told the truth once.]
[This lie detector isn’t half bad, it’s actually useful.]
[Where are the people who said Jiang Ning’s lie detector was just a decoration now? Come out and take a good look with your eyes wide open!]
[What brand is Jiang Ning’s lie detector? I took a screenshot and couldn’t find it on Taobao. If this thing is really so effective, it would be perfect for testing my cheating husband.]
[+1, can’t find it, all I found were stuffed toys in the same color scheme.]
[Maybe Jiang Ning intentionally made it so we wouldn’t find it, disguising it to look like a cartoon character.]
[I have to say, Jiang Ning’s indirect product placement was very successful!]
The live stream audience’s focus gradually shifted.
Miao Hai and Ru Meilan, hearing Miao Bin’s words, were furious:
"You damned kid! Just for that reason, you spent money to slander a girl! Everything we’ve taught you about being a person, did you learn nothing at all!"
"We should never have given you so much pocket money!"
The couple was enraged, but they only had this one son and had to protect him, turning to Jiang Ning to plead, "Miss, our son has admitted his wrong and knows he’s at fault. What compensation do you want? Can we settle this privately?"
"I haven’t finished asking yet, don’t rush," Jiang Ning replied, not directly answering but continuing to question Miao Bin, "What group was it?"
Miao Bin turned his head aside, actually not wanting to answer Jiang Ning’s question, but he knew that if he didn’t cooperate, he would only be harming himself, "...Just a regular chat group. Everyone chats and boasts occasionally. It’s just netizens."
His response was half-true, half-false; the lie detector remained silent.
Jiang Ning’s eyes were sharp, "If it was just a regular chat group, why would you all hire trolls against me? Do I have any feud with you?"
Miao Bin closed his eyes and blurted out in one breath, "We’re your haters, do haters need a reason to hire trolls?"
"Haters?" Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows, "In these past two months, everyone has seen what I’ve done. Any normal person would admire me. What did you see in me that offended you?"
If someone else had said Jiang Ning’s words, they would definitely be mocked for being thick-skinned.
However, thinking of the news about Jiang Ning recently, people felt she had every right to say it without any fault!
Overcoming a criminal in uniform, catching a baby falling from high up with bare hands, exposing corrupt hospitals, capturing human traffickers to save abducted girls, and more... Unknowingly, Jiang Ning had accomplished so many good deeds.
Any normal person would feel goodwill and admiration for such a person, not malicious intent to splatter dirt upon them.
