Even After My Death
Chapter 375 - 288: Where is Qi Xingzhou?

Chapter 375: Chapter 288: Where is Qi Xingzhou?

Even though the viewers in the live room couldn’t see Chen Deshuang’s expression, they could discern the threat in his voice and the underlying meaning of his words towards Jiang Ning.

Before Jiang Ning could react, viewers in the live room were already unsettled.

[Wow, he’s threatening her just like that?]

[My God, is this real or fake? Are there still such arrogant and insolent people nowadays? How is this any different from the old gangsters!]

[It must be fake, right? Jiang Ning really wants fame that bad, thinking she can stand for justice just because she caught a few criminals?]

[People only fully believe what they know. We may not have encountered it, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The national poverty alleviation just happened in the last couple years. In fact, in mountain areas, many families don’t even make one thousand yuan a year.]

[So, is this real or scripted with Jiang Ning? Could you let us know? I’m dying of curiosity!]

[It must be real, looking at the angle of her live stream, it seems like she’s secretly recording]

[I believe in Jiang Ning. When I watched her in the variety live show, I felt a kind of toughness that I really liked about her, and her eyes were firm and bright. She doesn’t seem like the underhanded type.]

[I also believe in Jiang Ning. Friends in A city, can anyone tell where this is happening? Jiang Ning is outnumbered, friends in A city should rush over there and help catch this shameless jerk.]

[Looking, still looking, can’t tell yet. This quiet corner of the wall that Jiang Ning is live streaming... can’t make out anything. If only there were some landmark buildings visible, that’d be great.]

[The banyan tree! When Jiang Ning wasn’t speaking just now, a really big banyan tree was caught on camera! Where in A city can one find old banyan trees?]

[Thinking... I’ve been studying in A city for three years, it seems there’s one near Modern Square, but it’s not as big as the one in the live room.]

The live room, with over one hundred thousand online viewers, was buzzing with activity and excitement.

The audience analyzed and deliberated in detail, so eager it was as if they wanted to jump out of Jiang Ning’s phone.

The audience did more than just post bullet comments; some viewers also tagged several well-known domestic fundraising platforms while commenting:

[Is this your employee? Do your backend staff have such authority? To arbitrarily change beneficiary information? And to freeze donors’ accounts at will? And even take an 80% commission and service fee? Is this how you operate? @Ocean Fundraising, @Mutual Aid, @Drip Funding...]

After one person took the lead, other netizens followed suit, copying and pasting in rapid succession.

The fundraising platforms, bombarded with a sudden surge of messages, traced them back to Jiang Ning’s live room.

Once they understood the ins and outs of the situation, the heads of these platforms felt an inexplicable chill around their necks.

Good heavens, they genuinely don’t charge any processing fees, not taking any agent fees as nonprofit platforms!

Yes, even though there are some offline personnel promoting the app, the intention was to make more people aware of the app’s existence and function.

The arrogant man in white clothes in Jiang Ning’s live room, he... he shouldn’t be an employee of their company, should he?

For a moment, several execs felt unusually anxious.

After starting the live stream, Jiang Ning hung her phone around her neck and was temporarily unaware of the situation in her live room.

Facing Chen Deshuang’s explicit and implicit threats, Jiang Ning nodded nonchalantly and sincerely asked, "So, uncle, which company do you work for? I need to know if it’s one of the two I previously donated to."

Chen Deshuang: "..."

Not?

Is this person sick?

So after all he said, this young girl didn’t listen at all?

The live stream viewers were amused by Jiang Ning’s slow voice.

[Wow, based on what I knew about Jiang Ning from variety shows, I thought she would’ve rushed up and beaten him without a word. It seems I still don’t fully understand Jiang Ning.]

[No, no, no, don’t talk nonsense, our Jiang Jiang would never beat people up indiscriminately.]

[That’s right, Jiang Jiang can be violent, but never randomly.]

[Got it, got it, civility before force, right?]

Chen Deshuang watched the young woman in front of him with a look of frustration.

When there were no others around, Chen Deshuang dared to talk so much to Ge Dagen completely because he had already figured out Ge Dagen’s background, knowing that Ge was someone without connections or education, a simple country person.

Such people have little experience, understand nothing, are honest and weak, and are easy to manipulate.

But this young girl was different. Nowadays, young people are very smart, and with the advanced state of the internet, if he mentioned his company’s name, she could immediately find all its information online.

Thinking of getting rid of this meddlesome girl, Chen Deshuang spoke up impatiently, "Ever heard of Apple Fundraising?"

"Never heard of it," Jiang Ning shook her head. "But who names their company so casually? Something like Ocean Fundraising is so much more meaningful. You’re not trying to frame me, are you?"

Chen Deshuang’s heart sank, and a foreboding feeling suddenly surfaced as he watched the young girl in front of him reach down to pull up Ge Dagen, who was squatting with his head down in despair, "Uncle, do you have your phone on you? Let me have a look."

[I just checked, and there’s no such thing as Apple Fundraising! That man in white is lying to Jiang Ning!]

[Hahaha, Jiang Ning’s reaction is pretty quick. She didn’t check her phone and immediately suspected the man was deceiving her.]

[My goodness, Jiang Ning’s been live streaming for a while, hasn’t she? Is there nobody around? What kind of place is this, so deserted! I’m really worried about what this man might do to Jiang Ning if he gets angry and ashamed.]

[Indeed, this man speaks with such an underhanded tone; it feels like he’s the kind who might do something bad. If he were truly justified, why would he need to lie to Jiang Ning with a fake name?]

[Sister, now that you mention it, I suddenly feel scared too.

Even though the man in white is alone, he looks very strong, while Jiang Ning and the Uncle squatting on the ground both have slim figures.]

[Enough with that. Think about Jiang Ning’s skills; she’s someone who can flip Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng over her shoulder! If it really comes down to a fight, it’s not certain who will be at a disadvantage!]

[I was just on TikTok, wasn’t Jiang Ning with Qi Xingzhou? Where is Qi Xingzhou? How come I don’t see him?]

The viewers’ concerns were not unfounded.

Watching Jiang Ning squat down to help Ge Dagen, Chen Deshuang had a stern face, his cheeks cast in a sinister shade as he watched Jiang Ning and Ge, his hands by his side twitching restlessly.

When no one was speaking, the atmosphere became eerily silent around them, seemingly turning a bit strained and chilly.
