Chapter 258: Chapter 177 Jiang Ning is a Hero
The moment Cute Squirrel’s adorable microblog post was out, it quickly gained widespread attention among netizens.
Especially that video of hers, everyone unconsciously stretched out their hands and clicked on it.
The video was dark and dimly lit, with the person filming apparently standing on a balcony; suddenly, from a high floor in the opposite building, bursts of objects being smashed, and a woman’s piercingly tragic pleas for mercy were heard.
Against the night sky, these sudden, horrific pleas and the sound of objects being thrown were especially chilling.
Some of the more faint-hearted netizens and those unprepared, were scared stiff by the wretched cries coming from their phones.
The video lasted more than two minutes.
For the entire first minute and a half, it was filled with the sounds of a woman being hit and pleading for mercy, and a man’s verbal abuse and violence, until the last half minute when a familiar voice emerged, stopping the domestic abuse.
It was Jiang Ning’s voice!
She stood on the balcony, scolding and threatening the abuser from afar.
[Oh God, Ruan Jiahua, that damned scumbag, he really deserves to die!]
[He even had the nerve to go online and slander Jiang Ning, vying for internet presence?]
[I’m freaking out, I couldn’t even bring myself to listen to it. The video is two and a half minutes long, I barely got through half a minute before I couldn’t resist skipping to the end. Moreover, Ruan Jiahua, that deadbeat, was clearly not just starting to beat his wife when it was being filmed. Who knows how scared and hopeless his wife must have felt!]
[Damn, damn, damn, I just sent Ruan Jiahua, that bastard, one thousand yuan worth of gifts. To think I actually felt sympathy for him, I’m an orphan, I’ve been fatherless since I was young, so I gifted him thinking he was a good man, a good husband, a good father. Can I report him for scamming me?]
[Me too! I just sent gifts to Ruan Jiahua, that scumbag. Although it was only one hundred yuan, it was my hard-earned money!]
[Jiang Ning’s clear voice is truly like a ray of light piercing through the darkness. I listened to her shouting that line over and over three times; she really is so courageous.]
[Sigh, I’m going to prostrate myself in apology to Jiang Ning, sorry for misunderstanding her again.]
[I’m going too!]
[Wait for me, and me too... *sobs*]
...
A huge wave of netizens flooded Jiang Ning’s adorable microblog, and countless people left her messages, making the comments section hotter by the second.
Jiang Ning accessed the video posted by Cute Squirrel through the direct links provided by the comments section, and realized it was from the first time she heard Ruan Jiahua abusing Qin Taoran.
That night, she had been sleeping, but was woken up by the noise of the domestic violence next door and thus went to the balcony and shouted that line.
She never imagined that a young girl from the building opposite would record it.
Jiang Ning gave a like to Cute Squirrel’s microblog post.
This action by Jiang Ning undoubtedly confirmed the authenticity of Cute Squirrel’s video. Now, there were even more netizens condemning Ruan Jiahua. At the same time, they also put pressure on the Capital City Public Security, insisting on a thorough investigation.
Jiang Ning drove away.
Realizing she hadn’t been to the Martial Arts Gym for many days, Jiang Ning turned the steering wheel and headed to the Martial Arts Gym.
Thanks to the explosive popularity of "Survive for 30 Days," as soon as Jiang Ning entered the Martial Arts Gym, her instructor Mu Yun teased her, "I thought you were just skilled in kung fu, but after watching the show, I found you’re pretty good at survival skills in the wild too. Did you get special training before?"
Jiang Ning smiled and shook her head.
Those wilderness skills were survival techniques she had to learn in a hostile environment.
Jiang Ning spent two hours in the Martial Arts Gym, and she was drenched in sweat from the exertion.
Upon leaving the bathhouse, she discovered she had missed many calls on her phone, all from Qin Taoran.
Without guessing, Jiang Ning knew it must be about Ruan Jiahua’s incident.
When Jiang Ning called back, the phone rang just once before it was picked up immediately.
"Xiao Jiang," Qin Taoran’s anxious voice came through the phone, "I’m sorry, I just found out about what happened online..."
"It’s okay, it’s already handled," Jiang Ning’s voice was steady, "Ruan Jiahua has been arrested by the police. However, after the police interrogate him, they’ll definitely contact you to gather evidence about the incidents that happened before."
"Yeah, they already called me just now," Qin Taoran said, her feelings a mix of guilt and anger at the moment.
She was working continuous shifts, from early morning to evening, and wasn’t allowed to use her phone, so she had been unaware of how shameless Ruan Jiahua was, smearing Jiang Ning’s name and stirring up public opinion on social media.
It wasn’t until the police called her just now that she learned about the online incident.
Qin Taoran was utterly confused by this.
Her marriage to Ruan Jiahua was a thing of the past, and Jiang Ning had helped her greatly by freeing her from that dark and oppressive marriage. Yet now, Ruan Jiahua was distorting the truth, causing Jiang Ning to bear the brunt of public censure.
Just thinking of it filled Qin Taoran with immense guilt toward Jiang Ning.
"I’m really sorry, I had no idea Ruan Jiahua could be so malicious," Qin Taoran said urgently, "I’ll go on TikTok in a bit and tell the real story so that netizens will know what kind of scum Ruan Jiahua is."
"Sister Qin, you don’t need to feel guilty," Jiang Ning said, "Someone has already corroborated for me, and Ruan Jiahua also admitted during his live broadcast that he had previously been abusive to you. The netizens see clearly, and now the person they are scolding is Ruan Jiahua.
You and Ruirui have finally started a new life, don’t let his selfishness affect your lives once more."
The internet is overwhelmingly powerful now. If Qin Taoran were to expose herself, she would definitely alert others to her and Ruirui’s current address, and her neighbors would likely come across it as well.
Jiang Ning, who had been exposed on the internet before, knew well that some netizens were inherently unkind and intolerant.
Even though Qin Taoran and Ruan Jiahua’s divorce was due to his domestic violence, there still would be people who prejudged Qin Taoran, criticizing not the abuser, but adopting an attitude of blaming the victim.
Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Qin Taoran couldn’t help but crouch down, and her faint sobs could be heard through the phone.
After ending the call with Jiang Ning.
Qin Taoran took leave from work and returned to her rented apartment, digging out all the medical diagnosis records from when she had gone to the hospital after being abused by Ruan Jiahua.
Those documents, which she had intended to discard after cleaning up following the divorce—she had kept them as evidence for a potential divorce. But now that they were divorced, they seemed less useful.
However, on the day she was packing, she suddenly changed her mind, deciding to keep them as a constant reminder to keep away from men! This was the consequence of blindly entering into a marriage!
So, she brought all these documents to her new home, and now, they could serve as evidence for the police.
The breakdown of her marriage to Ruan Jiahua was entirely due to his long-term domestic abuse and bullying, that’s why they couldn’t continue!
Jiang Ning was the hero who had rescued her from that unhappy marriage!
