Chapter 337: Chapter 252: It Seems Like a Choice, but There Isn’t One

Shen Guang pleaded, "Please, don’t let this get out. We won’t dare to do it again."

Bao Huai immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, we just wanted to make some living expenses, we didn’t do anything atrocious."

Jiang Ning’s eyes darkened slightly, "You haven’t done it? The cases and patient photos you uploaded didn’t seem fake, yet the money ended up in your pockets."

"No, no, no, that’s not it," Shen Guang immediately shook his head.

Beside him, Bao Huai’s head bobbed like a rattle drum, "Not all of the money was for us, we just took a share of it.

The materials and the photos of the patients weren’t uploaded by us, we were just responsible for spreading them, and then we’d take half of the donations as commission.

Above us, there are others in charge of other tasks, we are just some small fries."

In just a few words, Bao Huai had spilled everything they had been doing these days, leaving Chang Sunhuang standing beside them unable to intervene.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

She had found it strange when she first received this assignment, wondering why three university students would choose to engage in such activities without any rhyme or reason.

Sure enough, it was as she expected, this fundraising fraud case wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface.

The three university students before her were merely at the far edges of the scam, minor disseminators.

Seeing Jiang Ning remaining silent, Shen Guang and Bao Huai, with trembling hearts, were so frightened that they started crying uncontrollably.

Although Chang Sunhuang appeared calm, it was only a superficial calm, his heart was anything but.

He looked at Jiang Ning’s fair face and said, "What do you want so that you can cover this up for us?"

"Please, we really won’t ever do this again," cried Shen Guang between sobs and hiccups. "All the money we made, I’ll give it all to you."

Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on the three of them and she spoke bluntly, "You’ve done wrong, and it’s impossible for me to hide it for you.

You are all educated people, capable of distinguishing right from wrong. When you decided to do this, you should have already thought of the consequences of being discovered."

Listening to Jiang Ning’s words, despair instantly washed over the three’s faces.

"However," Jiang Ning’s tone shifted, "I can show you the right path, provide you an opportunity to atone for your wrongdoing."

Whether they would receive the law’s forgiveness would depend on the police officers’ decision.

Together, the three looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning extended her finger, "You have three choices."

"One, turn yourselves in voluntarily."

"Two, work with me to investigate the sinister syndicate behind your part-time fundraising job, obtain evidence, contact the police, and catch them all in one swoop, while also confessing what you have done to strive for leniency from the law."

"Three, I call the police right now and let them come and arrest you."

Jiang Ning seemingly gave Shen Guang and the others three options, but anyone with sense wouldn’t choose one or three.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, Shen Guang and the others didn’t struggle too much with the decision and all chose the second option.

Jiang Ning smiled, "Alright, now get your spirits up, and strive hard to bring down this vile syndicate."

Although Jiang Ning did not utter any soul-stirring speech, the previously anxious and scared Shen Guang and the others felt, after hearing her final words, an inexplicable surge of hot blood and youthful determination to eradicate all darkness.

Their hearts, which had been immersed in greed and money during this time, were instantly awakened.

How had they been so bewitched as to be blinded by money!

How could they have done something so shameful!
