Chapter 21: Chapter 20: Capital City Public Security Trends on Social dia Chapter 21: Chapter 20: Capital City Public Security Trends on Social dia Leaving aside Zhang Lang’s complex feelings upon discovering that Jiang Ning was actually the sa person who had been criticized online by netizens for so many days,
Jiang Ning had completed her task for the second ti and was in great spirits.
She walked out of the police station with a spring in her step, asking the System to pull up the screen, and found that her survival days had increased from 2 to 12 days.
The System also asked her in her mind, “Host, after completing this task, you have received a chance to draw a lottery. Would you like to do it now?”
“Draw!” Jiang Ning said without hesitation, the sooner the better!
The flat-bottod pan she drew yesterday was very handy, and it was still in the bag she carried with her.
The familiar roulette wheel appeared in front of Jiang Ning, and she pressed down on it.
The pointer on the wheel began to spin quickly, slowing down gradually, and then it wandered slowly across the wheel, eventually stopping on a pink little parcel.
“Congratulations, Host! You’ve received one Safety Amulet!” the System’s cheerful voice rang out.
A Safety Amulet tied with a red string appeared in Jiang Ning’s hand.
Jiang Ning raised her head and looked down at the Safety Amulet in her hand, its jade material was smooth and lustrous, obviously a high-quality item.
The System explained the use of the Safety Amulet to her: “This is a blessed Safety Amulet! It can help the person carrying it to avoid a significant injury once!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning’s eyebrows raised, wasn’t that the equivalent of a second life?
Though she was unscathed when facing those two criminals, there’s an old saying ‘it’s hard to stay dry when you are constantly by the river.’ Jiang Ning was human after all, and she couldn’t guarantee that she would always be as unscathed as she had been those two tis.
Now with this Safety Amulet in hand, it suddenly gave her a sense of reassurance.
She had great luck in both of her lottery draws so far.
Jiang Ning estimated the length of the amulet’s string and tied it around her neck.
A life-saving item like this needed to be carried at all tis.
The System seed pleased with Jiang Ning drawing the Safety Amulet and cutely asked, “Host, where should we go next?”
“Let’s go check out so houses,” Jiang Ning said as she stood by the road. It wasn’t long before she hailed a taxi.
Considering that she might beco a regular at the precinct, Jiang Ning directed the driver to take her to the nearest real estate agency.
Jiang Ning hadn’t forgotten that her primary task the previous night at the hotel was to rent a place to stay.
The driver drove fast and steady, and soon stopped in front of a real estate agency.
Since Jiang Ning was going to live alone, her requirents for accommodation weren’t high; she simply requested two things: a good environnt and secured privacy.
The agent quickly presented several options that t Jiang Ning’s standards. Looking at the photos, she selected three properties to check out.
After selecting the photographs, the agent took Jiang Ning to see the houses in person.
Jiang Ning was decisive and straightforward and, more importantly, she wasn’t short of money.
During her ti as a wanderer, she was taken in by a reclusive old man with an odd temper, who taught her martial arts and many other skills.
After his death, a lawyer got in touch with Jiang Ning, revealing that the old man had left a will designating Jiang Ning as the sole inheritor of all his assets.
It was only after his death that Jiang Ning discovered the seemingly plain and thin old man, who could kill a bull with a single punch, was actually so wealthy.
It could be said that before she even ca of age, Jiang Ning was already quite wealthy, but she didn’t like to publicise it, hence she never told anyone, including the Huo family mbers.
By the ti she saw the second property, she had decided to rent it.
Sign the contract, pay the money.
The house was clean, ready for the employer to move in at any ti.
Jiang Ning returned to the hotel to collect her luggage, checked out, and then went back to her new residence for the foreseeable future.
The whole process took just half a morning.
Once she had organized her luggage, Jiang Ning finally had so free ti and comfortably lay down on the sofa.
Thinking about her identities being on the trending search, Jiang Ning opened Carmo.
As always, there was lots of information on her account, which Jiang Ning temporarily ignored. Instead, she opened the trending search list and saw that the top trending topic was #Capital City Public Security has replied
Jiang Ning looked at the entry and lightly tapped the screen with her finger.
The top content there turned out to be a Carmo post published by the official Capital City Public Security account two hours ago.
After reading the content, Jiang Ning nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Lang had perfectly repeated her words and had conveyed her original intent.
This official post had only been published for two short hours, yet it had already garnered 360,000 likes and over 120,000 comnts.
Jiang Ning scrolled through the comnts and noticed a harmonious atmosphere, with over half of the internet users praising her bravery and kindness. So were still hopeful, wanting to see her personally appear and respond.
Wu Ming: Look, truly noble people seek no benefit; their very presence is nobility itself, without need for reason or weighing of pros and cons.
Unyielding Bamboo: Her figure is slender and delicate, but her silhouette forever shines brightly in my heart.
Zhang Xiaoxiao Ji: Sniffles, tears, why did she refuse when she clearly has cancer? Looking at the scene photos, she still had a patient wristband on her hand, obviously still sick, yet she faced the criminal alone and bravely subdued him. No matter how many tis I watch it, I want to cry.
jiojio.mo: Ahhh I really hope she opens a Carmo or short video account, even live streams or posts updates would be great, I’d be the first to send her gifts! Not for anything else, just to know she’s living well.
Mu Luo: too! too! I want to follow her, not for anything else, just to know she’s still alive.
Starry Sky: @Capital City Public Security, are you really not going to bring out the young lady?!
…
As she skimd through these comnts in the section, Jiang Ning could sense the internet users’ affection and concern for her. This positive atmosphere was sothing she had never experienced on her own account.
She clicked into the Capital City Public Security’s hopage and discovered another announcent published closely following the one from two hours before.
The announcent inford the public that the main fugitive of a ho invasion robbery case from June 25, 2003, who had been on the run for over sixteen years, was reported by citizens this morning and had been captured by the police.
The robbery sixteen years ago might not be familiar to many young surfers today, but thanks to the rapid spread of information online, a simple page jump could inform them about the details of the case.
After sixteen years, the netizens were just as shocked as people had been back then:
Anonymous Player: Little Goldfish!!! Aaaaah, is it the Little Goldfish I’m imagining?
You Mai: What else? If you don’t understand, I can interpret it for you here and now: Little Goldfish = gold bars.
Ling Ling Qi: Damn! A whole sixteen Little Goldfish, tens of thousands in cash, along with so expensive jewelry and gemstones, even the reward money was as high as twenty thousand yuan! And that was sixteen years ago!!! Who could not be envious, I’m not saying…
Xiao Xue: A ho invasion robbery sixteen years ago, and the fugitive hadn’t sold the Little Goldfish in all these years?
July Nineteen: The one above, you might be young and unaware of the huge impact this case had in the country at the ti. The TV news and newspapers reported on it for a whole month. Just for that twenty thousand yuan reward, anyone who watched television or read newspapers would recognize the custom-made Little Goldfish. In such a situation, as soon as the Little Goldfish appeared, it would be reported the next second.
…
Riding on Jiang Ning’s previous popularity, #Fugitive-on-the-Run-for-Sixteen-Years-Captured by police once again surged onto the hot search list with an unstoppable montum.
