Chapter 370: Chapter 285 High Fees for Ocean Fundraising

Li Ling stared intently at the video, confirming that the person in the video was the same sister who had saved her at the train station earlier that day.

Jiang Ning?

So this sister’s name was Jiang Ning.

Li Ling read the comments of other netizens in the comment section and found entries related to Jiang Ning by searching for relevant hot words.

The more Li Ling read, the more excited she became; she hadn’t imagined that the sister who saved her was such an impressive person.

Li Ling’s heart was filled with admiration and gratitude for Jiang Ning.

She decided that once her father came out of the operating room, she would definitely tell him about her sister’s identity.

However, she sat in the office for a long time, and Li Zhichun still hadn’t come out of the operating room.

...

Meanwhile, after leaving the high-speed train station, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou headed together to Pingnan Third People’s Hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Jiang Ning also received a message from the trio of Bao Huai.

Bao Huai: Jiang Ning, we’ve decided to turn ourselves in and are now on our way to the police station. Thank you.

This message was composed after much thought by Shen Guang, Bao Huai, and Chang Sunhuang.

They had seen the news of Jiang Ning’s arrest in A city and had also seen the praises she received online, which made them realize just how wrong they had been.

When they had first come across this part-time job, they knew the work was wrong but still took it, lured by the fast and easy money.

It was just as Chang Sunhuang had said before, "It’s not like this is anything terrible. If we don’t do it, others will."

But in reality, if everyone had such a mentality when facing criminal activities, society would have fallen apart long ago.

The trio took a taxi and arrived at the police station.

Looking at the bright red "Forever Follow the Party" sign in front of the police station, they took a deep breath, and after truly realizing their mistake, they felt less panicked than they had imagined.

When Jiang Ning saw Bao Huai’s message, she noticed that the small red dots representing the three people had disappeared from the System map, and she knew they had indeed turned themselves in.

Now, on Jiang Ning’s System map, there were still a dozen or so scattered criminals.

Apart from Chen Deshuang, the target that Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were currently searching for, the rest of those small red dots were accomplices of the fraud gang they had just encountered.

Unless Jiang Ning actively gave up these missions, or the police captured these criminals one by one, those small red dots representing their location would disappear from the System map.

The Third People’s Hospital of Pingnan covered a vast area and seemed to have an even greater flow of people than the People’s Hospital in A city.

Jiang Ning stood at the entrance of the hospital and looked down at the time, 2:03 p.m.

The hospital’s working hours were uniform; the doctors’ afternoon shift typically ran from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., but there were exceptions for some special departments with doctors on rotational duty.

Jiang Ning took two new masks from her cross-body bag and casually handed one to Qi Xingzhou.

Both wearing masks, they entered the hospital.

With the hospital’s vast area and many floors, Jiang Ning followed the navigation prompts from the System, only to find that she and Qi Xingzhou were getting further off course.

The two circled around the hospital buildings and arrived in a secluded area.

And the map showed that the target of their mission was nearby.

Jiang Ning lifted her eyelids, only to see the greenery nearby and the medical building.

Arriving at the destination without seeing anyone, this was a first.

Just as Jiang Ning was searching intently, a man’s voice suddenly rang out:

"What’s the matter? Don’t you want to give the money anymore? If it weren’t for my promotion, could you have raised so much?"

Guided by the direction of the voice, Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on a large banyan tree not far away.

She took a few steps in another direction with Qi Xingzhou and, sure enough, saw the two men standing under that large banyan tree, talking.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for discovering the criminal Chen Deshuang, please apprehend him immediately!]

The System’s broadcast echoed in Jiang Ning’s mind.

Jiang Ning focused her gaze on the two men.

The two men, one fat and one thin, were dressed in black and white.

With one glance, Jiang Ning identified the man in white as the target of their mission this time: Chen Deshuang.

And the words Jiang Ning had heard just now were also spoken by Chen Deshuang.

The man in black standing in front of Chen Deshuang looked frail, haggard, and quite gaunt, his face sallow and weathered.

He spoke to Chen Deshuang almost pleadingly in a low voice. Chen Deshuang, already somewhat angry, grew even more impatient, "That’s the money to save your son’s life? Use your head, will you? I got you thousands in just three days, and you’re still not satisfied?"

"How much do you earn in a month? Just because someone says it’s a scam, it’s a scam? Don’t you know yourself whether you got the money or not?"

Chen Deshuang’s barrage of words hit the man in white like a blitz of artillery shells.

The man in black looked deeply troubled, hunching more and more under Chen Deshuang’s assertive and righteous tone.

Hearing Chen Deshuang’s words and seeing his confident demeanor, anyone unaware of the situation might think the man in white was ungrateful and overreaching.

But Jiang Ning, who had learned the full story from the System, was almost amused to anger by Chen Deshuang’s hideous facade.

She finally understood why the System charged Chen Deshuang with the crime of using his position for profiteering.

Chen Deshuang wasn’t a doctor; his wife was.

Chen Deshuang was a fundraising consultant for the Ocean Fundraising Platform, his job being to find patients from families with financial difficulties, guiding and helping them initiate fundraisers on the Ocean Fundraising Platform.

Ocean Fundraising Platform is a welfare donation platform, adhering to the philosophy of "existing solely for users" and "leading charitable trends with technology, building a prosperous future together," and is one of the most well-known fundraising platforms in the country.

After working sincerely at Ocean Fundraising for a while, Chen Deshuang discovered loopholes in the platform’s rules and realized there was "room to operate" for himself.

Originally, Ocean Fundraising charged zero fees, but Chen Deshuang, benefiting from his job, promoted the patient links he uploaded heavily to gain higher exposure.

Now, in the Internet era, everything depends on traffic.

The higher the traffic, the more exposure, and consequently, the more donations from netizens.

Otherwise, Shen Guang, Bao Huai, and Chang Sunhuang wouldn’t have thought to ride on Jiang Ning’s popularity to promote their donation links.

What Chen Deshuang did was similar to what Shen Guang and the others did.

But what Chen Deshuang did was worse than Shen Guang and the others.

Because while the links sent by Shen Guang and the others were false information uploaded by scam teams, Chen Deshuang demanded hefty fees from families desperately in need of the money after the funds were raised.
