Chapter 64: Chapter 58 Is it Miss Terminal Illness? Chapter 64: Chapter 58 Is it Miss Terminal Illness? Although Jiang Ning denied it, Zhang Lang’s admiration for her was still as endless as the waters of the Yellow River.
Without waiting for Jiang Ning to ask, Zhang Lang proactively explained to her over the phone why he had called her.
After these days of investigation and search, Fuhua Public Security, in collaboration with public security departments from other provinces, cities, and counties across the country, had joined forces to strike, and finally traced the leads to capture He Hui and Liu Guobin’s gang in one fell swoop, also rescuing quite a few victims.
Fuhua Public Security finally redeemed itself, and immediately released the video of capturing the human traffickers online, along with an announcement explaining the twists and turns of the incident to netizens, as well as the reason for not responding to the trending events before.
The video and announcement by Fuhua Public Security were released this afternoon; no sooner had they posted it than it hit the trending searches.
Netizens who had been arrogant in the comment section now prostrated in confession, and plenty came to see the commotion.
But more were admiring Fuhua Public Security’s patience and strategy, which allowed them to capture those despicable human traffickers.
In the comment section, netizens were lively and joyous, as if celebrating the New Year.
Qi Cheng, who had been cursed by netizens to the point of not daring to live stream, also cautiously emerged after Fuhua Public Security’s response.
He started a live stream again, with a tone of grievance, “You’ve all disappointed me so much. When there’s nothing wrong, you call me ‘Qi Baby,’ but when there’s a problem, you call me ‘Qi Trash.’”
The netizens were amused by him. At last, the reception he met was not endless ridicule and malicious speculation, but apologies and onlookers hurrying to the scene.
While sending him rockets, the netizens cleared out their shopping carts, and left comments: [Noble Lady Qi, don’t cry; your good fortune is still ahead!]
Qi Cheng laughed out loud, but through this incident, he also learned his lesson and gained some experience. During the live stream, he sincerely apologized to the audience and reflected publicly.
Don’t make assumptions without knowing the full picture.
This afternoon, the trending search terms on the platform were all dominated by Fuhua Public Security’s response.
Meanwhile, netizens also noticed a key point in Fuhua Public Security’s announcement:
[So, the first person to spot the human traffickers and call the police was actually one of the victims too?!]
[Wow, she’s so awesome!! Abducted by human traffickers, she fought them with wit! Not only did she manage to escape, but she also rescued all the other victims!]
[That’s not all! She even tied the traffickers to the roof of the car and brought them out of the mountains!]
[I’m in tears, seriously. That little van was clearly so old and the space so cramped, yet she mercifully brought those two damn traffickers out. If it were me with my vengeful nature, I’d drop them off a cliff to feed the wolves!]
[What have the wolves done to deserve being fed such dark, stinking meat? With their crimes, they don’t even deserve to be wolf food! They should just be thrown into a cesspit and drown!]
…
The netizens discussed fervently, and soon they discovered that Fuhua Public Security had secretly released a third post.
And the content of the third post was … a video search for a person.
The video released by Fuhua Public Security showed the slender back of a young woman leaving the police station, the footage brief, lasting only a mere twenty or so seconds.
Fuhua Public Security explained that the staff member on duty at the time didn’t realize that the lean young woman in front of them was the caller who had reported the crime, and was also the pivotal heroine of the case.
Assuming she was one of the victims, the staff didn’t ask further questions.
Lil did they know that when everyone later tried to contact the reporter of the crime, they could no longer get ahold of her!
Because the phone Jiang Ning used to call the police was not her own, but one she took from the traffickers!
This discovery stopped the Fuhua Public Security, who had come to their senses, in their tracks.
They had only lost focus for a moment, and the person had disappeared?!
In this human trafficking case, Jiang Ning’s existence was crucial. It could be said that without Jiang Ning, it was uncertain when this group of human traffickers would have been apprehended.
As long as they remained at large for even one more day, they could potentially destroy more families and abduct more victims.
Jiang Ning made a tremendous contribution to this case.
And yet… such a brave and intelligent girl, and they actually couldn’t find her?!
Fuhua Public Security had no choice but to ride the wave of their own popularity, initiating an online campaign to find her.
They deliberately released only a silhouette of her, not her full face, fearing it would negatively impact Jiang Ning’s life.
The fervor on social media was undeniable.
Especially since it was Fuhua Public Security themselves asking for help in finding her.
Netizens, as if digging three feet into the ground, were determined to find her.
And then… observant netizens began to sense something was amiss. Why did this silhouette seem so familiar?
There were also sharp-eyed netizens who recognized her at a glance:
Isn’t that Miss Terminal Illness?!
It’s unclear who made the discovery first, but the words “Miss Terminal Illness” themselves carried heat, and more and more netizens saw these messages.
Some netizens chimed in:
[Ah, it really does look like her!!!]
[Wow, can it be? I specifically looked at old screenshots of Miss Terminal Illness I had saved on my phone, and I’m shocked, the figure is exactly the same!]
…
Others rebutted:
[Stop kidding, even if Miss Terminal Illness had never shown her face, the two previous times the criminals were caught, she was in Capital City. Fuhua is a two-to-three-hour high-speed train ride from Capital City! How could it be the same person!]
[How does it look similar? It doesn’t look alike at all! You folks randomly attributing achievements to another person, think about how heartbroken the real informant would be upon seeing this!]
…
The comments section erupted into endless debate, quickly propelling the topic to the top of the search trends.
Zhang Lang was rather bored today, so he took out his phone to browse social media and then saw these notifications.
He was one of the first and among the few who knew that Jiang Ning and Miss Terminal Illness were the same person. Zhang Lang clicked on the person-finding video released by Fuhua Public Security and watched it several times, growing more familiar with that silhouette each time!
Moreover, looking at the dates mentioned in the Fuhua Public Security’s announcement, Jiang Ning happened to be absent from Capital City on those days!
Zhang Lang even went so far as to reach out to a friend who worked at Fuhua Public Security for a chat to inquire specifically about this matter.
After talking with them, Zhang Lang’s premonitions grew stronger, prompting him to pick up his phone and call Jiang Ning to verify personally.
Thinking of the comments online, Zhang Lang couldn’t help but say:
“Your identity as Miss Terminal Illness really does generate its own buzz. Netizens are fiercely defending you, and the guesswork about whether you’re the informant has already made it to the hot search. It’s likely that Fuhua Public Security will take notice soon.”
“The criminals you’ve caught before were all here in our area. I estimate it won’t be long before our colleagues in Fuhua start calling us here to inquire about your identity.”
