Chapter 262: Chapter 181: Is Jiang Ning directing and acting by herself?

Three minutes later:

[I’m back! It’s Jiang Ning! She is Jiang Ning!!!]

[No way? Impossible, right?]

[It’s true, it really is Jiang Ning. I even have a selfie with her on my phone. She has such fair skin it practically glows, and she has an outstanding temperament, very exceptional! I’ve posted the photo in the comments section!]

[...Why is Jiang Ning everywhere?]

[Hmm... I don’t believe it]

[Hasn’t Jiang Ning been trending too frequently recently?]

[LOL, is this self-directed and self-performed?]

[Isn’t the script too obvious? Does Jiang Ning have the formula for popularity, knowing that doing good can get her trending, so she planned all this?]

[Right. How long has it been since she came out of the variety show? She acts heroically TWICE in three days? How come it’s so coincidental that as soon as the uploader posts the video looking for people, you all happen to have selfies with her?]

...

It seems like Jiang Ning herself is the epitome of the popularity formula, as the video looking for the person soared in popularity incredibly fast.

The two girls who recognized Jiang Ning posted their selfies with her in the comments section respectively.

From the photos, it was evident the buildings nearby were the same as those near the video uploader. Moreover, the clothes Jiang Ning wore matched exactly those of the heroic girl in the search video.

Song Ranran, who uploaded the video, hadn’t expected that netizens would be so capable and find her son’s lifesaver so quickly.

But at the same time, she hadn’t anticipated that the direction of the comments would become so one-sided. After everyone learned that Jiang Ning was the hero, not only did they retract their praises, but they also began to mock her.

Everyone thought it was Jiang Ning’s team’s script.

Song Ranran was stunned.

No one knew better than they did whether it was a script or not!

Jiang Ning had truly acted heroically to save her son!

Moreover, her intention in posting the search video was genuinely just to find the lifesaver to offer thanks, not to bring slander and trouble to that person.

Song Ranran immediately released a clarification video.

No mother in the world would joke about their child’s life; she swore on her life that this was definitely not a script.

She wanted to contact Jiang Ning first to see if she indeed was her son’s savior.

[Sounds like you’re really telling the truth]

[Ay, whether it’s real or not, you can’t fake a video. The uploader is right, no mother would willingly put her child at risk.]

[Can everyone please wake up? If this was Jiang Ning’s script, why wouldn’t she do something easier? Why risk catching a kid with her bare hands? Do you know if she had been hit and failed to catch the child, she could have been killed or crippled for life, the consequences are too horrible to imagine.]

[Hmm, I’m squatting here for the follow-up.]

...

Song Ranran found that Jiang Ning had been very popular on the internet recently.

She found Jiang Ning’s TikTok and cute blog accounts, wanting to send a private message but fearful it would be like casting a stone into the ocean.

Seeing that Jiang Ning and Capital City Public Security followed each other, Song Ranran guessed that Capital City Public Security might know how to contact Jiang Ning.

She and her husband carried their son and went to Capital City Public Security in person to ask for help.

Zhang Lang was on duty today.

After the other colleagues on duty heard about Song Ranran’s situation, they called Zhang Lang over.

The calling duty fell on Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang called Jiang Ning, and she answered quickly, "Officer Zhang?"

"Jiang Ning, it’s like this, I have something I want to ask you." Zhang Lang put the phone on speaker and got straight to the point, "Did you go to Green East Road yesterday afternoon?"

Green East Road?

Wasn’t that the street where she’d gone to buy masks yesterday?

With Zhang Lang suddenly calling her like this, Jiang Ning certainly didn’t think he was just killing time chatting with her. A light bulb went off in her head—there was only one thing she’d done there yesterday...

"I did," Jiang Ning said frankly. "What happened? Did something happen to the child?"

Zhang Lang couldn’t help but raise his voice, "So, the person who picked up the child on the side of the road yesterday, it really was you?"

He had just learned about this from Song Ranran and even watched the surveillance video on her phone. Though he couldn’t see the face clearly, he was almost certain that it was Jiang Ning!

"Yes," Jiang Ning replied succinctly. "I was passing by, picked up the child, handed him over to an adult, and then left."

Song Ranran standing nearby started to look excited.

"The child is fine. His parents posted a video online looking for the person who saved him so they could thank you in person. Later, with the help of netizens, they learned your identity and came to the Public Security Bureau for help now," Zhang Lang explained, and couldn’t help worrying, "Is your arm okay?"

He thought, Jiang Ning was indeed reckless.

From three stories high, she hadn’t hesitated at all before stepping forward to catch the child barehanded.

This was not something ordinary people had the courage to do, especially for a stranger.

Jiang Ning’s spirit of self-sacrifice was admirable, to say the least.

Jiang Ning’s tone was relaxed, "It’s fine."

She had used a clever technique, and apart from her arm feeling a bit numb from the shock, there was no other issue.

However, upon hearing that the others had posted the video online, Jiang Ning raised a hand to scratch her head.

Without checking the internet, she knew her comments section must be a tangled mess yet again.

"Officer Zhang, I’d like to talk to the lifesaver..." Song Ranran said eagerly.

Zhang Lang was taken aback for a second before speaking to Jiang Ning, "The parents of the child you saved yesterday are here, and they’re saying they’d like to have a chat with you."

Then, the phone was passed to Song Ranran.

"Hello, Miss Jiang, I’m Song Ranran. Thank you for saving my son yesterday afternoon..."

Song Ranran’s voice was initially a bit nervous and tense, but after expressing her thanks and receiving a response from the other end of the phone, she became more relaxed.

The gratitude the Song Ranrans felt towards Jiang Ning was unquestionable.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Ning was too young and not yet married, Song Ranran would be willing to have her son recognize Jiang Ning as his godmother.

On the other hand, Jiang Ning’s mood was more at ease.

She wasn’t purely a good Samaritan—if it wasn’t for the System’s prompt, Jiang Ning might have walked past without looking up to see the teetering child above.

Moreover, she had saved the child in no small part due to the rewards given by the System.

In response to Song Ranran’s profound gratitude, Jiang Ning seemed rather indifferent, "No big deal. Just make sure to secure your doors and windows and watch over your child."

Luck isn’t always on your side.

Song Ranran gratefully acknowledged, then somewhat conflicted and guilty, she brought up the online issue.

"I’m really sorry. When I get back later, I’ll post a video to clarify matters; I absolutely won’t let this affect you," Song Ranran said with much self-reproach.

Before Jiang Ning could tell her not to worry about it, she heard Zhang Lang speak up, "It’s fine, it’s fine. You were desperate to find someone. Here’s what we’ll do, our bureau’s official Weibo will post an update to clarify on your behalf."

In the past two months, Jiang Ning had caught so many criminals—how could he stand by and watch as Jiang Ning was slandered!
