Even After My Death-Chapter 650 - 553: Provoking Jiang Ning

Jiang Ning didn’t know much about what was going on over the internet.

With her hands resting on the steering wheel, after learning from the System about the whereabouts of the remaining few patrons who had paid for an online mob to smear her name, she pressed the gas pedal and headed purposefully toward her nearest destination.

So, millions of viewers in Jiang Ning’s live streaming room saw her fiercely grab the patrons and engage in a battle of wits with them...

After leaving Li Family Village, the first patron Jiang Ning caught was Fan from the neighboring city, who appeared to be a sunny, cheerful, kind, and polite college student on the surface, but in the online world, he was a keyboard warrior controlled by resentment and various negative emotions.

Not only did he act as a paid troll and freely post abusive and insulting comments online, but he also frequently spent money to hire others to attack people he disliked.

And he did all this not for money, but to vent his own dissatisfaction and anger at society.

The second person Jiang Ning caught was Liu, a female high school student who had recently dropped out. Instead of calling her a patron, it’d be more accurate to say she was a professional keyboard warrior.

Liu was so engrossed in the internet that she’d rather not go to school, even if it meant running away from home than attending, and after breaking ties with her family, she could only beg for a living online as a paid troll.

After Jiang Ning caught her in an internet cafe, she handed her over to the police and left the follow-up matters entirely to them and her guardian.

With the first and second came the third and fourth...

What made the viewers anticipate the most was after Jiang Ning had caught the sixth one, a special message appeared in her live streaming room:

"Jiang Ning! Dare you to catch me! I’m also one of those who paid to tarnish your reputation. Why haven’t you caught me after so long? Grandpa here is waiting for you!"

Once this message appeared, it instantly attracted the attention of other viewers in the live streaming room.

With the relentless reminders from the viewers, Qi Xingzhou, who had been holding his phone, also noticed the comment and then told Jiang Ning.

At that moment, Jiang Ning happened to feel a bit parched and had just come out of a shop with two bottles of drinks.

Jiang Ning casually handed one bottle to Qi Xingzhou, who lowered his eyelashes as he relayed the comment from the live streaming room to her.

After hearing the comment, Jiang Ning didn’t react much and just casually twisted off the cap and took a gulp.

It wasn’t until after she put the cap back on that she took the phone from Qi Xingzhou, turned on the front-facing camera, and let herself appear on the screen, saying indifferently, "Where’s the message? Send it again, let me have a look."

"Send it then send it! I’m saying, Jiang Ning! Dare you to catch me! I’m also one of those who paid to tarnish your reputation. Why haven’t you caught me after so long? Grandpa here is waiting for you!"

The brightly colored text floated across Jiang Ning’s live stream.

As if afraid Jiang Ning wouldn’t see it, the sender deliberately recharged to give Jiang Ning a gift, allowing their words to linger above the barrage of messages in Jiang Ning’s live streaming room.

The densely packed comments from other viewers were all obscured by the bright and splendid special effects of their gift.

"Ding! Perpetrator Jing Feipeng detected, please immediately arrest and bring the perpetrator to justice, Host! Task reward: life value 10 days, Merit Points 50!"

The System’s voice rang in Jiang Ning’s mind.

Jiang Ning’s eyes darkened.

Life value 10 days, Merit Points 50.

Seeing this generous reward, it was obvious that this person was definitely not simply involved in paying to blacken her name.

Instead of hiding with his tail between his legs in the shadows, he even dared to come to her live streaming room and openly provoke her.

Sometimes Jiang Ning marveled at the amazing structure of the human brain’s development.

Jiang Ning glanced at the screen, where the System displayed the perpetrator’s criminal and personal information, then spoke with a cool voice, "Alright, with all that arrogance, I think I know who you are. I haven’t caught you yet, not because I can’t catch you, but because you weren’t up yet in the crime directory I’ve compiled. Since you’re volunteering, it’s not impossible to grant you this small request."

Her tone was casual, yet clearly reached the ears of every viewer in the live streaming room.

The viewers, who were initially angry, burst into shock and anticipation upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words:

"Ah! Is Jiang Ning telling the truth?! Can she really catch this person?!"

"...Huh? She can catch them? This is the first time I’m starting to doubt whether all this is scripted—it’s too far-fetched. Even the cops would have a hard time with this, right? Just from a random comment, they can catch someone?"

"I’m so angry! That person definitely sent the comment to provoke Jiang Ning on purpose! Ah, Jiang Ning, you must catch him!"

"6, this can’t be caught, right? I just clicked into that person’s homepage to look—it’s empty, there’s no information at all, a totally private account that can’t see the light."

"I clicked and looked too! This person is doing it on purpose! Deliberately making it hard for Jiang Ning!"

"Erm, was I the only one who heard Jiang Ning say she has a crime directory? Did none of you hear it?"

"Heard it, heard it, heard it! Curious! Want to see!"

"+1, I heard it too! Also curious about what Jiang Ning’s crime directory looks like!"

"..."

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Jing Feipeng, in front of the screen, sneered with disdain on his young face, deep down not believing a single word of Jiang Ning’s bluff, nor did he believe she could really guess his identity.

Jing Feipeng sent another message: "Talking is useless, come on, come for me right now."

"Fine. I’ve been out long enough, time to go home," Jiang Ning responded briskly, passing her phone to Qi Xingzhou before saying to the live streaming room, "See you in Beijing."
